Fliers on the bulletin boards, gnomes chattering in the hallways, notes in the Cafeteria food which thankfully ended after a few reported cases of choking, but the biggest sign was probably the most obvious. Out side of each occupied room appeared a glow in the dark arrow on the floor, pointing down the hallway and eventually down into the common room itself. No matter how you found out about it or how long it plagued you, the message was clear:
Quote:
Mandatory Ghost Dorm meeting in the Common Room on Curseday at 7pm!
Be there.
Bring a pencil...or six.
Be there.
Bring a pencil...or six.
Curseday came and Amrita could be found in the ghost dorms. At first she was loitering in the common room, quietly watching the passer-bys. As time wore on she started to get more active, and eventually she could be seen rearranging the room, pushing furniture against the wall and making a nice wide open space in the middle.
When the allotted time rolled around, there was a table and a piece of paper in the middle of the room; Amrita was still there, talking to three students: Amarus, Frost in the Storm, and Lattice. "-So that's the plan." She ended her conversation, and as a note of finality she turned away from them to view the group of Ghost Students that had gathered in the dorm.
"Thank you all for coming." The Patchwork started, her voice rising easily to silence the conversations in the room. "First off, let me introduce myself. My name is Amrita, and I am your Student Council Vice President. Behind me are your Dorm Resident Assistants, - or Dorm R.A.'s - Amarus, Frost in the Storm, and Lattice." As she introduced them she gestured to them, each in turn. "They are here to help you adjust to Dorm life as well as to moderate, so if you have any noise related complaints, interpersonal issues you would like to discuss, or even just need someone to talk to, be sure to see them. They would be happy to help." Yes she was volunteering them, but really...someone had to. They had yet to announce the RA's, and this seemed a good a time as any. "Let's give your RAs a little round of applause!" Her applause was a little less than enthusiastic, but the attempt was there.
"Now, down to business." She paused for a moment, looking out into the crowd of ghosts. "We have been asked to get you together as a group and have you decide on what Colours, Mascot, and Motto you would like to represent you and your Dorm in an upcoming event." The Patchwork's twisted, backwards hand gestured towards the table and paper in the middle of the room. "The House Colours will be decided by vote, please fill out this form and drop it in the ballot box. The Mascot and Motto however..." This time she trailed off, gesturing vaguely.
"If you have any suggestions, now would be the time to speak up."
OOC
PRE-TRIAL: TEAM BONDING EXERCISE
The common room of your dorm has been rearranged. Any furniture has been pushed back against the walls and more had been added to line the room perfectly. In the middle of the now open space rests a table with a sheet of paper and a pen. Nearby stands your Student Council representative and two or three probably familiar students, each wearing an intricate little badge.
It looks like something's brewing...and the Student Council wants to make sure you're properly represented!
At the end of this ORP, the dorm will have Two House Colours, a Mascot, and a Motto to represent them in...something.
gaia_crown [ STEP 1: VOTE FOR HOUSE COLOURS ] : This is the first - and easiest - thing to do. Have your student approach the ballot box and submit their votes for their Dorm's House Colours. Please copy and paste the form below into your post; these will be tallied at the end! You may do this once per character, so long as they are enrolled into this dorm. Be sure to remember that this is based in Halloween and suggest colours accordingly. Dorm RAs are not allowed to cast a vote at this time.

gaia_crown [ STEP 2: GIVE SOME INPUT ] : Once you have voted for your colours, there are still two things left, and these will be decided as a group! Brainstorm some ideas for a Mascot and Motto to represent your dorm. It's okay if you can't think of an idea, you're welcome to back someone else's. This is for you and your Dorm mates to decide and hash out together as a team. After all, whatever decision the group agrees on will represent your species as a whole in the future!
Try to keep them as relevant as possible to your particular dorm and the general setting of Halloween; so while pink and purple with sparkle princesses would be hilarious for Demons, it's not an entirely plausible suggestion. Dorm RAs are not allowed to suggest a Mascot or a Motto at this time.
gaia_crown [ STEP 3: DECIDE AS A GROUP ] : Amrita, Amarus, Frost in the Storm and Lattice are only here to moderate and to keep the conversation flowing. They are not here to decide for you. This is for you and your dorm mates to decide and agree upon. If in the end it boils down to a tie, the Dorm RA's will be the tiebreaker. If a decision still hasn't been reached, then the presiding SC rep will choose.
gaia_crown [ THIS THREAD ENDS ] : On Friday September 20th at 11:59pm PST, OR if Amrita (Enoh Love) has been quoted with an agreement! We will be checking to make sure that a decision has been made, so don't you go making an executive decision!
May the odds be ever in your favour wait wrong fandom...
