February Event and Intro Log
Orientation Week/Magic Mayhem
The campus of Diatu Magicademy stretches out before you, confused and chaotic and surging with energy. Where are you headed? To your dorm or suite, to get settled? Maybe you need some food now? Wherever you head off to as your first stop, you have to deal with the snow. Helpful or proud students are passing out various magical remedies to get you where you need to be -- umbrellas with a nasty tendency to dump snow directly onto other people nearby, an iron tube that projects fire but appears to have no off switch, snowshoes that keep you slightly too high off the snow and thus provide no friction for stopping...
Familiar Follies
Familiars do not harass or harm each other as a rule -- but that doesn't mean they have no pecking order, and the week of Orientation finds them all jockeying for status and position as suits them. This can take the form of pranks, displays, competitions, or simple physical assertiveness towards each other. The goal is simply to be seen as superior by the student body. New wizards especially may find themselves surprised at this behavior of their familiars...
Research On the Sundered
With the arrival of the Sundered come those wizards engaged in research on their presence here, now set to investigate what brought them here and how to get them home. All Sundered students are asked to meet with representatives of the research team, to introduce themselves and relate what they will of their homes. In addition, the team requests samples of blood, hair, and skin -- carefully magically collected, and the researchers will sign in the presence of the Sundered a Glyphed contract that forbids them from using the samples for a purpose they know will be harmful. (They quite understand your reasons to be suspicious of this collection! And they will not compel anyone who refuses even given these conditions.)
Furthermore, they request to perform a few spells on you for testing purposes. It is, quite regrettably, possible that if you consent to this testing, you will come away with a temporary side effect -- a slight change of hair color, traveling two steps for every one you take, one hand moving about a second behind the arm it should be attached to, or being ridden by a penguin. No need to worry, these changes won't last more than a day!

what. ]
I still have no idea what that means.
no subject
[Better?]
no subject
So it's like a laser!
[ he knows lasers! ]
no subject
no subject
he nearly asks what the difference is before deciding otherwise. ]
Well, whatever. [ back to the search! ] Just gotta look for something that looks like your arm… but a cannon.
[ sounds easy enough. ]
no subject
[Considering her size and build -- yeaaah.]
It is not small, so it is not going to be under something that is also small. But a bench or table is possible.
no subject
he turns back at the weird request, and realizes that… yeah, she's not exactly built for crouching. a bit of low-level searching isn't going to kill him. ]
Yeah, no problem. You search high, and I'll look low.
--Hey, you think it'd make any sort of noise even while it's… you know. [ he makes a slashing motion near his own arm, by the elbow. ]
no subject
[The last thing they need is a fusion driver firing blindly from some obscure location! People could get badly, badly hurt!]
no subject
R-right! Yeah, noise is bad, gotcha!
[ he's just gonna keep looking around for that under benches and stuff, k thanks. ]
no subject
[Orisa points upwards, where a particularly large and bulky cannon lies on top of a chandelier, all lit with magic and looking impressive.]
This is a problem.
