Blue Skies Academy of Sorcery (Discussion)

Today’s the day. You’ve been looking forward to this all summer, and now it’s finally here. What mysteries await you at this new venue? What magical adventures will you have at this university? Only time will tell… And speaking of which, it looks like your ride is about to arrive.

This is the discussion thread for the Blue Skies roleplay. Singups are here. Roleplay is here.

So, can we suggest NP Cs?

I suppose so, sure

What 'bout Ball of Arms man?

....... I'll think about it.

I'm hoping Vicki is going to be fun.

And I will approve all plot-relevant dreams if I have to, don't worry. Mostly it's either really mundane or about people she doesn't even know, though.

So, what are some enemies?

Well, for the most part this'll be a monster of the week type thing, so most of the enemies will be non-people, at least at first. So it'll be all sorts of fantasy beasts and such.

Oh, so I think for a headcount... we've got 4, probably 5 people from Earth, 1, probably 3 from Gaia and just Daniel from Underland thus far?

Seems like it. There's two people who've P Med me showing interest with characters from Underland but they haven't finished their sheets and I'm not yet sure if they will.

Hi!

Guess with lots from earth we gonna be having a lot of Fish out of Water moments.

So hows dorms and living stuff gonna be handled?
Shared rooms or singles?
If we share will it be just with other players, or will some of us be sharing with NP Cs?

Mixed or single-gender dorms?

This thought didn't really come up until now, but what means is initially provided for the students to contact the school so they can reply to the letter? Is an address for the school provided in the letter? Also, does the school tell them which modes of transportation they're supposed to take to reach it, seeing as it lies in another world for many students and thus conventional modes of transportation might not work?

It'll be shared rooms, dorms are separated by gender and year

most of you will probly be rooming with other players but in case there's any odd ones out i have a couple npcs prepared

there is a return adress on the envelope, blue skies has workers in the earth and underland post office indurstries for exactly this purpose

included with each letter is a means of transportation, which may vary. it could be a bus pass for the nearest major city, a subway ticket for a platform that doesnt exist, or a reciept from Uber. blue skies also has workers in the earth and underland transportation industries for this purpose

Okay, that definitely clarifies things.

Also to repeat what I said in the signups, RP officially starts tomorrow. Get hype!

I didn't know about the discussion thread until like a couple hours ago, oops lol

Hype!!

Wondering whose will bunk with who.

Yay~

Oh, btw, question for when you can get to it: Do any humans live in Underland, do the people there at least know what they are or will their existence be as surprising to them as humans to people from Underland?

Sometimes humans do cross over or pass through to Underland, but it's a rare occurrence.

Underlanders do know humans exist, but unless they've gone off-world, it's unlikely they've ever seen one.

Mkay! This shall be interesting, then

Hey guys, sorry again for such a long delay, but I'll explain it shortly.

First off, RP is here! I've added a link to the OP of this thread for easy access.

Secondly, the reason I've been so absent recently is I recently just got a new job, right when I was initially planning to start the RP, which kinda put a wedge in my plans. The hours are kinda long, so I won't really have any time to devote for the RP apart from this week, which I have off.

Which leads me to the third announcement: at the end of the week I'll be appointing a co-GM to take care of the game for the next few months. This should give me enough time to make them a bit more familiar with the verse and let them know what kind of feel I'm going for with the RP.

The fourth and final announcement: I'll be making a discord chat for the RP sometime tomorrow, which will likely be where I'll be doing my decision-making for co-GM. If you're interested in the position or just want to talk about the RP without the slowness of forum posts, I'll be posting a permanent link here once it's made.

That's it for now. I hope you guys enjoy the game!

Well, better join this chat now before it's too late.

Hypppppppppeeee!!!
