Enjoying the weather, Smash Academy? It's the middle of the summer and it's
hot hot hot out. If you're wise, you'll take
sanctuary in the pool or the (slowly shrinking) lake, or maybe bother your
friends and peers, but keep an eye on the weather--things are going to get
wet and wild in the coming weeks.
BREAK IT DOWN FOR ME, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?Smash Academy is in the midst of summer and it's dreadfully dry and hot. Seth has been propagating more of his
lollipop drugs, and he's about to hit a key customer:
Kyogre. For those of you not Poke-savvy, this is a creature capable of creating
torrential rains, which are bound to be a little
too torrential while under the
influence of those dastardly pops.
SO THIS PLACE IS GOING TO FLOOD?That's right, and that'll be enough of a problem to contend with, but once the waters recede the damage to the school will be very evident. Smash Academy will be in dire disrepair and not in any suitable living condition. The lake will be swollen, desks will be embedded in the walls, cars will end up on rooftops, none of the electric systems will work and water damage will of course be everywhere. Fret not, for repairs will be done (GLaDOS has already offered to take care of that out of the goodness and kindness of her heart. Isn't that great?) but it can't happen until all of Smash's residents move out. Just temporarily. Just for a week.
WHERE ARE WE GOING AND WHEN ARE WE GOING?A hotel in FDC will suffice! The city will escape the rains and flood waters just fine. Coincidentally, that week, the week of
July 22nd - July 28th, just happens to be the week of
Metacon, the biggest, nerdiest
most meta convention in FDC. Almost all the hotels have been booked for months! Don't worry though, the Headmasters wouldn't leave you guys hanging--they'll manage to get their Hands
ha ha on one big enough to house all of Smash Academy's residents.
But uh... it's a special hotel...( LOVE HOTEL INFO )( METACON INFO )I'M REALLY NOT INTERESTED IN EITHER OF THESE EVENTS/I'M GOING TO BE ON HIATUS!That's no problem. Opt-outs can be anything you want. You can say your dude got lucky with a normal hotel in FDC, they're bumming at a friend's place, or they took a trip back to their home world for a bit--whatever excuse you want to make. The only liable condition in this is that your character
can't be at the school until repairs are done. They can be ANYWHERE ELSE, just not the school, until July 28th.
