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

Caim is probably used to not having anything in the way of electricity. I imagine he couldn't be the worst person to have as a companion during the outage.
Nabooru likely is also familiar with a lack of electricity. I'm tempted to have her start carrying around a torch as she travels the halls.
Or perhaps something to do with those fancy Sage powers of hers...Snake is probably going to be a bit blind, but he's likely got some kind of device on him that'll allow him to see better in the dark. But he might be more likely to leave people on their own than to genuinely help out.
Soryk would ordinarily be a bit lost, but considering he can use the light from his eyes, he'll probably be a good-looking flashlight for anyone who needs one.
He may consider doing some dastardly deeds while the power is out. Be careful of anything you eat. It could very well be poisoned.Voile will be my one character who doesn't actually know what to do without electricity. Chances are she'll be stumbling about and unsure of what to do.
no subject
it's not his fault the hangar is snowed in and he can't get thereI'm still not sure what I'm gonna be doing with him yet though XD;; but I'm definitely up for some CR during the blackout if you are!
