rhys - grrr
Who: Rhys, Alistair and anyone who might want to spectate.
What: FIGHT!
Where: Dresden Academy grounds near the guards cottage.
When: 8-9AM, Tuesday 20th of September
Rating: SFW - might be some language though.

Rhys had pulled night shift for the month of September. He didn't much like it. It was, predictably, quieter than the other shifts and the hours always seemed to drag. That wasn't the worst of it though, the truly unbearable part was the fact that night time cases always fell into the same few categories - young love, underage drinking, and the antics inspired by it. Just once he would like to bust someone for trying to brew a controlled potion under the cover of darkness or uncover a gathering of students practicing the dark arts. Not that he wished for the students to be involved in such things, but he was a trained Auror after all, and shooing horny/drunk/high teenagers back to their beds had quickly lost its appeal.

Tonight had been another in a string of entirely uneventful ones, and Rhys had spent it counting down the hours until he could return to the abode he shared with his fellow guards. When this time finally came it seemed to lack the usual feeling of relief. Rhys held onto the lethargy that came from boredom and the general feeling of discontent. After informing his replacement - George - of the fuck-all that had happened over night, Rhys headed for the guards' cottage. It was a crisp morning and he tried to pay little heed to anyone else who might be outside sharing it with him as he shuffled along. He just wanted to get home, and as he crossed the threshold of the cottage door he emitted a little sigh.

He'd had it in mind that a shower might refresh him - there were some things he still wanted to do before retiring for the day, but he'd need to find the energy to do them. Rhys began the process of shedding his clothing on the way to the bathroom - he draped his jacket over the back of the couch and held onto his removed shirt. He managed to make it to the bathroom without stripping further, but now that he was there, Rhys concentrated on removing his socks. That was, until, he noticed a shape in the shower. He jumped at first, before realising it was a cauldron. Due to issues with the fireplace, it had been 'decided' that they would use the bathroom to brew potions - it was contained and the ventilation could be improved with a simple spell or two. Rhys was yet to take advantage of this marvel of a place to brew potions, and was really rather unhappy about it at present. So much so that he pulled out his wand and began to levitate the cauldron. He made sure to slam open as many doors as he could on his way out of the cottage. He moved the cauldron outside near the window of his fellow guard and housemate, and had it spew out its contents before letting it crash to the ground. How well ventilated it was out here! Right. Now it was time for that shower.

The Events Committee's Very Important Homecoming Meeting

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
cinna: serious
Who: The Events Committee! Cinna, Scarlet, Violet and Veronica (any anyone else who happens to be in the library at the time)
When: Tuesday after classes
Where: The library, Mulholland Hall
What: The Events Committee talk business!
Rating: Probably safe. It's the library after all.

Immediately after the end of the last class on the first day back at school, Cinna headed for the library to claim an area for the Events Committee. They could probably have used an empty classroom or even sat outside in the dying sunlight, but this was a Very Important Meeting. There would probably be research and stuff.

Armed with her little pink laptop, pens and paper and a stack of magazines, she shooed unsuspecting students out of her way and hijacked the biggest table off to the back for her and her friends to spread out over while they planned the best Homecoming that Dresden Academy had ever seen.

Now all she had to do was wait for the others to show up.

The sandpocalypse is nigh!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
cinna: eager
Who: Everyone!
When: Friday July 8th
Where: South Beach, Miami
What: Cinna throws the first beach bash of the summer!
Rating: Xenu only knows.

School had been out barely a day before Cinna sent out a mass email inviting everyone ever to come hang out. She figured after Independence Day people would probably be sick of their families already, so proposed the weekend after that: a beach party on Friday and if anyone wanted to stay for the rest of the weekend they were more than welcome.

Friday couldn't come quickly enough. Part of the beach had been blocked off for them very early in the day, and Cinna's parents had very thoughtfully hired some entertainment-- a series of beach vans, one with ice creams and slushies, another with food, a third with a bar and an attendant paid to look the other way, and a little DJ booth on wheels.

The sky was endlessly blue, not a cloud in sight to spoil the day ahead, and the beach was clear and ready for the shenanigans to begin.

The Prom

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Seamus Morgendorfer
Cinna Thompson had almost single handedly pulled the prom together. The ballroom was decorated with festoons of floating flowers. Stars hung from the ceiling, each set to sparkle as if they were properly in the sky. The outskirts of the room were set with small round tables that could accommodate one or two couples. A table of refreshments was guarded at all times by Seamus Morgendorfer and a rotating cast of other faculty who volunteered to chaperon for the evening.

A glittery ballot box stood next to the entrance where students were set to write down their chosen prom king and queen and drop their tickets into the box. Students began to stream in after dinner to quiet music playing over the speakers. The band, a local group called Vampira was scheduled to begin playing around 7:30.

Needless to say it was going to be an excellent evening.

Greetings everybody! This year's prom is only ONE WEEK away! I hope we're all totally pumped!

On behalf of the events committee, I'd like to remind everybody that this is a FORMAL event. That means:
NO JEANS
NO SNEAKERS
NO FLIP-FLOPS I'm looking at you Ryder
NO BASEBALL CAPS
NO T-SHIRTS

It also means NO ACTING LIKE A FOOL. Save that for Send-Off. As with all events at Dresden, our lovely teachers will be chaperoning the evening, so please remember that any misbehavior is likely to be spotted and punished. No booze, no smoking, no fighting-- you know, the usual. PDA isn't technically against the rules, but you know some melvin is going to go cry to a teacher about it if you're playing grab-ass all night.

Lastly, as of Monday morning PROM COURT NOMINATIONS are open! There's a dropbox outside the library all week, please submit your nominations for prom king and prom queen before end of class on Thursday. No late nominations will be accepted! Ballots will be available upon entry to the dance, with voting closing at 8:30pm. Winners will be crowned at 9pm, so be sure to show by then!

Thanks for your time, my lovelies! Can't wait to see you all at prom!

Love,
Cinna <3

Scheduling for Next Year (open to 3rd years through university students)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Nathaniel Dawkins
Upperclassmen had been sent home with pamphlets over spring break to think about their options for the next semester. Third year students could pick up an elective for their freshmen year, fourth years could pick up two electives as sophomores; those meetings tended to go the quickest. It was the meetings with fifth years and beyond that tended to take up the full 15 minutes alloted to them.

These students had to receive recommendations to take advanced classes, or opt to take electives. Last year Nathaniel Dawkins had tried to talk everyone out of taking magical crafting, if only because that class filled up so fast they had to open another section of it. He had their files arranged already; all the students signed up for time slots earlier in the week. Professors had already sent Dawkin's their recommendations; those had been read and placed among their academic transcripts.

The university students were another group altogether. They had to select a mentor and core focus for their fall semester and if they could look ahead and think about what they wanted in the spring as well. They'd need additional meetings later in the semester with their chosen mentor; thankfully that was out of Dawkin's hands.

Students would be wandering in and out of classes for their fifteen minute blocks, but this was the standard practice for this time of year. Dr. Dawkins was ready, about as ready as he ever was.

Who: Leland and Open!
Where: On campus
When: After class on Thursday
What: Leland is out catching some rays
Rating: SFW but language

Despite the rain it had been a pretty stellar week in the North country. The grass was growing in nice and soft just how Leland liked it, the sun was warm and the breeze was just right. On such a fine day Leland choose to take a step back from teasing the underclassmen and wander outside with Emili curled around his shoulders. He found a nice quiet spot where he figured he wouldn't get disturbed or find temptation looming near by and he laid himself down in the grass, adjusting Emili so she could lounge on his chest. Closing his eyes, he smiled. and took in a lungful of fresh spring air.

It had been a while since he allowed himself some quiet, it was a nice change in pace from his constant go-go-go lifestyle. He was quietly content with his eyes closed until his sunlight was blocked. He felt the shadow fall over his face. A little frown curled his lips downward. "I didn't know we were scheduled for a solar eclipse," he said before opening his eyes.

Be sure to put in the subject line who the text is to and from and if you want include the time.

And remember: texts have a maximum of 160 characters.

ENJOY!
