So, my magic mirror didn't survive that big mess from earlier.

Is anybody free right now to help me fix it? Asking for someone stuck in a new fur coat.

Can someone please tell me just how to stop a clock having a hissy fit just because you cannot speak their name in a certain way?

I cannot just keep writing it and showing them it every time and there is only so many times I can deal with this.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Let's see, we've had a few introductions, a general discussion about dorm conditions, and even a few doodles but you know what this bulletin board is missing?

A game.

Let's start with something simple: Word association. I'll provide the first word, then you reply with the first thing that pops into your mind, then the next person does the same to the word you provided and so forth. There's no real winners or losers in this but it can be interesting to learn how some of our fellow classmates think.

The first word:

Pyramid

[That title is absolutely not ic or present at all ok. This angel is NOT that cool.]

Now that we're all getting settled in, I thought it might be nice if we introduce ourselves! So many lovely new faces, and I'm sure much has changed for those of us making a return as well.


So let's put this bulletin board to good use: Who are you?


And we should probably share a little tidbit about ourselves as well. A get-to-know each other--but nothing like those hellish corporate ice-breakers. You're absolutely not obligated to participate, of course, but it does seem like good fun, doesn't it?



I'll go first: My name is Mr. Fell; I love cocoa and long walks in the park, and I own a bookshop back home.

[ Shortly after the influx of new and returning students, a note appears on the notice boards. ]

Does anyone else find it ridiculous that people younger than an arbitrary age are forced into communal living, at the mercy of roommates who may or may not have lost their minds, while the rest of you get your own rooms?

I've been legally emancipated for years on my world, and I'm definitely above the age of majority by now, yet I'm stuck with a dorm-mate building trash piles in our room. Let me write that again and underline it for emphasis. Trash. Piles.

I've blasted away as many as I can find, but they always come back. Yes, I've always wanted to live in a pigsty.

temptationaccomplished: the ~arrangement~ (toss you for edinburgh)
[personal profile] temptationaccomplished
It only just occurs to me that had we been back home, and been in the timeline that our world was following along--today would be the first of the new year, the first of January, anno Domini 2020. As such, it marks the start of a year that commemorates an impressive anniversary of an even more impressively enduring Arrangement.

Happy New Year, my dear. To many, many more.




Dear classmates-

I realize the moment itself has come and gone, now, but how does one ring in the new year in each of your worlds?

In my world, it is often accompanied by toasting with a bubbly wine known as Champagne, watching a fireworks display, and participating in some kind of boisterous celebratory countdown to the moment the clock changes over (Edinburgh's Hogmanay is a riotous street party--an absolute delight). And then there are kisses. And singing of Auld Lang Syne. And New Years Resolutions, I suppose. The new year is symbolic of hope and change.

What do you hope to accomplish or change this upcoming year?

Admittedly, it has been a very long time since I've attempted to host any kind of party, so I'm just a tad out of practice. But it wouldn't be anything too big--we do still have studies to attend to.

I was thinking a gathering of fellow students and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in perhaps...tea and biscuits? Some cake as well? Or pie, as that seems to be seasonally appropriate.

Tuesday? If that's not too short of notice, is it? Outdoors, weather permitting, or in a corner of the Great Hall unless someone has a better suggestion for tea-time?


There is someone here who I would very much like all of you to meet.

[It's Crowley. He wants you to meet Crowley. Please excuse him, he's very excited. He hasn't been able to have this friendship so openly in all his years on earth. Is it a bad time for this, probably, but he is so very happy right now, he is practically glowing with joy.]


Sincerely,

Azir Mr. Fell

Hey friends! Quick question!

Say you suddenly find yourself having a girlfriend who is the most perfect creature in the entire world and you want nothing more than her happiness. Problem is, you never saw yourself having a girlfriend, or doing anything romantic-related so you're entirely clueless about... everything involved.

PLEASE ADVISE WHAT TO DO TO MAKE GIRLFRIEND NOT REGRET THIS

Hey guys. It's Sunset.

Does it...bother anyone else just how many of our friends have been disappearing lately? It seems like every week I turn around and someone else is gone. Do you think the magic that brought us here is going haywire? Maybe we'll all go home soon, or maybe that's not where we're going at all.

ok so is like the world going to end anytime soon?

because like tegiri forced me to watch enough isekai back home for me to know that when one or more rando chumps get pulled into a high fantasy world where they're really good at magic for no discernible reason there's always going to be some end of the world stuff nigh]

or really any looming threat

just want to make sure if i need to be worried about that kind of thing

BIRTHDAYS

noasark: (WHO MEEEEEEEE?)
[personal profile] noasark
Let's just say, you were aware of an upcoming birthdate...

What sort of thing do you think would be best to surprise someone with for such an occasion? I'm making a list.


[No he won't tell you whose birthday it is.]

Inquiry:

[Oh dear. Is he doing this right? Is this where you put this? How does one go about asking about jobs? He's never done this before. He was just...given a sword, given an assignment, sent on his way. Do as you're told and stand over there. That's a good lad.

However, despite the uncertainty in his inquiry, the writing itself is spot on. This is all penned very neatly, with the styling of someone who was once and still is very comfortable writing with a quill--and not in the Modern Hipster Instagram Crafter way, but in a way that has been sculpted by changing influences over time and adapted to suit his personal aesthetic. There's an air of English Roundhand to it, with hints older styles like Chancery in some of the letters. The penmanship is flowing and legible and very old-fashioned, but not quite ancient. Circa late-1700 to mid-1800, so very modern! Someone knows very well that they are DAMN GOOD at pretty writing, missed doing it, and is quite happy to take the opportunity to show off.]





To Whom It May Concern:

I wish to inquire about open job positions available in the area to students. I have over 30 years experience with antique and rare books, including acquisition and preservation of historical and culturally valuable documents. My area of specialty was misprint Bibles, books of prophecy, and first editions. I also have experience crafting illuminated texts, making inks, and binding books using traditional methods.

Any assistance at all is most appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

A. Z. Fell

P.S. I don't suppose there's any need for a food and wine critic, is there?

I really hate this place sometimes.

Like, one minute everything's going fine, and I can pretend there's nothing wrong. But then this world decides to remind me that everything actually sucks.














On a somewhat-related note, anyone know of a safe way to destroy a magical artifact?

[personal profile] king_of_egypt
This is going to sound like a bizarre question..... but I don't suppose that anyone has come across any spare puzzle pieces lying around?

[No, don't worry- the Millennium Puzzle is quite in tact, but the Millennium Idol, aka Falcon, aka Horus (when in it's Falcon form) is the puzzle in need. With all the recent thefts courtesy of the rats it's not going to make this any easier either]

To give you an idea of what it likely looks like- you need only to recall my second familiar. I've never seen this piece myself but apparently this puzzle can be put together another way.

- Atem

[Then he has Horus, somewhat ironically, deliver messages to his friends that were with him when he's acquired the Idol since Atem still hasn't acquired one of those fancy journals that have become so popular.

OOC NOTE: Please feel free to either reply to Atem on the bulletin board or run into him wherever on the school grounds searching for this item. You could run into him anywhere, it's fine.
]

[Private to Yugi and Kaiba]

[The metallic falcon didn't seem to have much trouble in finding it's marks landing before them and dropping the tiny scroll from it's beak but then it had to wait for them to write out a response. Yes, maybe Atem should invest in one of those aforementioned journals.... . Also, hope you guys have pens handy.]

I don't know if you saw the recent bulletin board post, but I might head back to Isolde Tower to search there.

Remember that evil genie thing that was stuck at the fountain? I wished for an electric guitar just to see how they'd take it and I was promised it would play awesome music. A friend helped me figure out it's definitely not a complete dud.

So I'm looking for anyone who has enough experience with them for helping me work out the loophole causing the problem.
