OOC community for Jordan College RPG

D: Sorry for disappearing off the face of the earth everyone. My internet died for a while and while I could have checked for responses at school, school work also began to pile up... so I was somewhat stuck for a while. But now I'm alive again and I shall go post~

But first!

Kaylee mun! I didn't forget about you! I'm sorry for taking so long, did you want to continue with the party thread for a little while longer or would you rather move on?

Also!! I have a question to just about... everyone. I'm pretty much past the point of considering apping Simon Tam from Firefly *SOB* no thanks to the other Firefly characters!!!, but I'm a bit stuck with what he could do... A lot of what he does revolves around his sister and she's not here... So he'd flail a bit over having a daemon, flip out over River being missing...

And then what, attempt to find a way to escape/go back home? Help? ;_;

Hi, all!

I'm announcing that I'm stepping down as mod. Not leaving the game entirely — I enjoy playing Iorek far too much for that, and I think this game is shaping up nicely! — but stepping back from community-building and organizational responsibilities.

LGS will continue to mod and to wrangle the mod NPCs when there's need for them. At present we don't think she'll need help with that, but if she does, we have a backup waiting in the wings. So rest assured the game will continue to run smoothly. :D

See you out there in the frozen fields of the North!

I had said I would like to hold the Oxford characters' reception/party on Saturday. I'd forgotten that would preclude one of our players from being active in it. I'm therefore going to post it on Friday!

Those who can RP in it on Friday are welcome to do so, those who can't until Saturday can just pick up then.

(A reminder: if you haven't already, go to your Manage Invites page to accept membership in retiring_room. The last post I made regarding the party RP was friends-locked because it also had some personal stuff in it, and if you haven't joined the comm yet, you won't have been able to read it. I'm imagining that some people will want to post friends-locked things in future as well — hiatus notices and such — and you won't want to miss those.)

With the permission of Draco-mun, I'd like to have a little expedition to go find Draco the dragon, who Jon will have spotted at some point. Since Draco apparently is the friendly sort, I don't think we'll have to worry much about our characters getting fried. Any northern-based chars interested?

In the near-ish future, of course, Asriel is going to convene the Oxford characters and give them an Expository Lump (regarding Dust, the North, other worlds, whatnot). In the meantime, though, here's a bit of an idea.

Toward the end of his conversation with Lucius, Asriel decided he'd need to talk with Camilla about the sort of impromptu ambassadorial role she'd taken on. While I'm not going to RP out that talk because sockpuppetry is dull and socking my own character with a mod NPC doesn't sound like fun atm, the gist of it will be that Asriel authorizes Camilla to make certain arrangements for him, having to do with orientation for new kids. Asriel isn't always going to be hanging around Jordan College, after all. In fact, he needs to go see about some zeppelins.

For those of you familiar with the vicissitudes of the academic world, basically what he's going to do is make Camilla the equivalent of the chair of a grad student organization: she gets a small budget to throw a wine-and-cheese party. XD All the Oxford characters, including those living off campus (which presently I think is just Crowley?), will be invited. This will serve as a means to get them acquainted with one another. (If your character hasn't yet been dragged into Yaxley Quad by some means, let's figure out a way to get them there.)

Who's still wandering around the streets of Oxford? Who needs help?
