MOD POAST

[mansionstaff]

First and foremost apologies for the delay, we figured it would be more courteous to wait until the DW downtime was over and everyone was awake again before posting mod announcements.

And a HAPPY NEW YEARS to all you wonderful Smashies. Can you believe it's been just about a year since we moved over to Dreamwidth? We've been very pleased with the move, and we hope you have been too. Here's to the start of another great year.

GAME STUFF

• We're doing a pop-up HMD now! Use this one, not the old one from now on (or until otherwise noted). Links in the game navigation have subsequently been updated, and in other places as well. If you find an out-of-date link, please let us know.

• THAT'S IT, PRETTY MUCH. Go post to the pop-up HMD.

EVENT INFORMATION

This was suggested a while ago but we felt it was in poor timing. NOW, THE TIMING IS GOOD.

TIME FOR A BLACKOUT. It'll be just a little mini-event but starting this Friday, January 18th, there will be a series of unfortunate and extenuating circumstances that will bring the downfall of technology to Smash Academy, and everyone will be snowed in for the weekend, as seen on the updated calendar. More details will be given once the actual log goes up but for now here's the skinny:

• January 18th-20th the school will be WITHOUT POWER. That means no electricity, no heaters, no hot water, no TV, no gadgets, no gizmos, no network. The school's backup generators will work for only about an hour before mysteriously failing. The power will eventually be restored (and generators fixed) through FDC Power & Light.

• That won't happen until Monday morning however, as Mother Nature aka a wild and disgruntled Castform andor Articuno has decided it hasn't snowed nearly enough this season. Throughout the week the weather will be white and blustery until there's a full-fledged blizzard bearing down on the Academy by the weekend. Nobody in their right mind will be out and about in that weather until it passes.

You'll be snowed in and without power for a few days, Smash Academy. Better keep warm.

Vivian baby Ishimaru's gonna need you to help him keep ORDER
He can tough the cold, he just needs to get people working together and keeping warm and safe, blah blah typical Ishimaru things

Mary is gonna be damn cold

Aquenda, elementalist that she is, might be able to enlist the help of fire or something to help people keep warm. I dunno. Alternatively she is a big source of meat.

Ishimaru. Celes. Playing card games in the dark with a candle to pass the time. y/n?

Am horrible enough yet?

[forgetbeam]

And then a perfectly platonic candlelit dinner, right?

[trumped_card]

Are you trying to seduce her with that icon, Ishimaru? Because it might just be working tbh.

Yes. Of course. Totally platonic in every way.

[forgetbeam]

careful gurl you're playing with fire here

[trumped_card]

wow did you really just say that

look at what you've done

look at how butt devastated Celes is right now

I bet Ishimaru needs his Youth and Beauty Brigade (or whatever it's called) to keep order.

Bowser is in that Youth and Beauty Brigade.

BURNING PEOPLES' PANTS OFF IS NOT GOING TO KEEP THEM WARM FOR LONG

There's also their schoolbooks and other personal possessions to burn.
