[up][up][up]Since University seemed to be sagging a little, I came up with an idea to have the Hounds pull a Langoliers on the place. That idea got shot down since it wouldn't have worked so well in practice, but now I'm seeing if people are okay with throwing in the backstory to that idea.

[up]I should note that scaring the crap out of the characters wasn't what I was aiming for - I didn't even think of it until you brought it up. The goal is to make the thread a little more interesting by fleshing out the setting. If a few characters get unnerved, then that's a nice bonus, but I'm not going to be disappointed if all it does is raise a few eyebrows.

Anyone planning on posting in University?

I'm waiting for someone else to post first.

Well so am I.

I guess I could make a somewhat meaningless post in the passage, but that would be... well... somewhat meaningless.

Someone else, please step forth if you would be so kind?

I'm waiting to see if most people are fine with the Cult of the Hounds backstory or not before posting again, mostly because that if I get the go-ahead I'm introducing it in my next couple posts.

[up]I honestly don't care, given that it's unlikely to affect my characters.

I think that I'll rejoin University, but I'd like someone to catch me up to speed and maybe a suggestion on where I could locate my character.

Note to self: Pick less edgy username next time.

Are we really rolling with the 'Weirdness Magnet' bit? I mean, I'm willing to suspend my disbelief on a high wire, I just don't think that's the best idea we've got.

I'm happier without an explanation, but again, I'm not sure how relevant this is going to be to anybody outside of the Passage group. So to a certain extent I don't really care, particularly since I'm halfway to dropping out already.

Oh...so do you want me to edit my post?

Considering that I worked it into the cult thing, I'd be willing to run with it unless someone has a better option.

I think it's mostly the name that's itching me, for the same reasons nrjxll stated. Other than that I'm okay with it.

I think the spell, should it stay, is probably one of those things that's better off without a name. Failing that...I've no better suggestions, honestly. Name generating is far from being one of my strong suits.

This should help (Yeah, sometimes they produce something worth using).

I'm going to wait to post something until the librarians post something.

Umm... ok. Name better than Weirdness Magnet... Circle of the Strange? It's a work in progress. Can anyone else make it better?

Help?.. please...

I've decided I'm going to post a description of my Dinner Party character's species here in the discussion thread (to which I can refer to in future threads if I use any other characters from this species, which I probably will). Before doing that, though, I need to ask: exactly what is going on currently in Dinner Party that I need to know about?

It seems like most people are gathered around the hors d'oeuvres, just doing some general chitchat. Both decks are still unoccupied. Check the OP for descriptions of the area itself, and you should be set.

Hmm. A dinner party thread. And me writing a new story. Perhaps a place to test some people out.

I'm not feeling so good, so I'll probably wait until tomorrow to actually join in.

The more I read about Asayu the more tempted I am to have somebody from Night Life who either is (Nara) or has experience with a 33-S (anybody else if I say so) grade her sexual prowess and find her sub-par.

The problems being I can't see any of them taking that first step anyways, and I can't help but think it would immediately start a fight.
