You know what was great about being Secretary? The ability to mass text people. So while posters and arrows and helpful signs were indeed liberally applied near the staircases and main entrance of the Reaper Dorms for the casual eye, most would be receiving the notice through their skellyphones:

TEXT FROM MORT
    There will be a mandatory meeting for all Reapers at 7pm this Curseday in the common room. Important things are happening at this meeting, so please try to attend!


At 6pm the zomboil planted himself there and began to re-arrange the furniture to allow more space; he was aware of the amount of enrollments going through lately and thus couldn't be too prepared! That, and frankly his concentration was beginning to slip here and there . . .

What students would see when they arrived was a simple layout: a ring of chairs and cushions around the room, with a table at the center that held a box, paper slips, and pencils. Mort was settled on a wooden stool behind it, not particularly worried about his comfort. He nods to each in turn as they come, though it's a little hard to see if he's smiling or not, as he seems to be wearing a rather large hat that covered his face in shadow. In fact, one could only see a hint of his eyes (one seeming to be discolored, or at least not green) beyond the flash of his glasses. Flanking him were Freya and Sparrow.

When a good group had already settled in, Mort rapped his metal knuckles on the table as a sort of gavel. "Welcome, n' thanks for coming," the zombie greeted them calmly. "If don't know me yet, name's Mortimer McNeal--Mort is short--Student Council Secretary. Next t'me's Freya," he indicated the blond valkyrie on one side, "n' Sparrow," a similar gesture to the blond grim on his other side, "who're your RAs. If ever have questions 'bout dorm life here, or complaints, or suggestions, go to 'em. Also know can always come talk to one've Student Council people if see us, mkay?"

He leaned forward and folded his arms on the table top. "So! S'most've you know, Professor Emerys came back recently. He's asked us t'do a few things for upcoming event, which's got the SC excited," Mort continued with a smile. "Should be easy meeting if is done diplomatically. Will be a competition 've sorts. First job!" He tapped the box near him. "Fill slips on table with two color choices t'be house colors. Then have to decide 'mongst yourselves on mascot n' motto!"

Mort tipped his hat. "Us three'll be moderating, but is up t'you guys ultimately how t'represent reaper dorm. Better pick wisely~"

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.

[b]Student Name:[/b]
[b]House Colour Vote:[/b] (Please choose two i.e. Black and Blue. You can vote for one color twice instead!)
[/quote]


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 ] : Mort and Freya/Sparrow 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 the SC rep Mort (Ol-j-man) 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...

Ash stared blankly at the text before shuffling out of bed, placing the Great Help atop his shoulders and heading towards the appointed meeting area. The zombie was a stranger, as were the two RAs: he paid them very little mind, as they were of no consequence to him.

(Most of the time, he was in Thackery's room.)

Approaching the ballot box, Ashford cast his vote for the familiar shade of rusty red of his headpiece, and a nice, traditional black. Having done so, he eyed the group, his pale blue eye peering out from the hole in his helm. It was a good thing they couldn't see the sneer: what a pointless endeavour this all was.

"I find this exercise tiring," he sighed, leaning back on his heels, shoving his hands into the pockets of his pinstriped pants.
"I suppose our mascot should represent both weapons and familiars, to be equal to us all."

Freya wasn't supposed to persuade her fellow reapers to pick any actual answer for how to represent their dorm.

So, of course, she did anyway.

"VOTES NAKED FOR OUR OFFICIAL COLOR!" She screamed - the meeting was now off to a fine start.

Kettil was there because Freya had made sure he was there and because the text said it was important. He had every intention of otherwise just hanging around at the gym or bothering Freya (or both). He scribbled something on paper when Freya yelled, "...Naked is not a color, Screechie. You get a star for trying, though!"

He was at least being sort of serious about it since the word 'competition' was mentioned.

"I do like the idea of mascot being both weapon and familiar somehow. I just uhh...How would you do that? A giant scythe wielding octopus?"

Satisfied with her choices, Emily approached the box and slipped her ballot in with a great deal of confidence. Because of your they would pick JD's colours, right? Of course they would. She gave Freya a knowing smile and wink. Then deciding that may be a bit too subtle she gave the ghoul a thumb's up as well.

"Obviously the mascot should be a cat," intoned Mr. Monty loudly as he paced irritably beside her. "Obviously?"

Flushing and looking around quickly, she began to stutter, "Um...yes, cats are nice? <******** regal is what we are."

"A cat?" Enzo snorted, coming up behind Emily with his own ballot. He liked this sort of thing. several rodents all scurried about his feet with bits of paper in their mouths that may or may not have been duplicate copies of his votes with fictitious names attached. "I'd say a rat. Or a roach, maybe." He gave the ghoul a wink as he popped his own in.

Emily gave Enzo a slightly dubious look, but left the argument to her familiar who scoffed loudly. "Well that sounds like a great idea! If you want your mascot to be food."

Most of whom Maple saw when she made it into the common room she did not know, some at least looked a little familiar from random classes and encounters. They all got an unsure awkward kind look, while trying to look a little friendly. She was a second year now, she didn't need to look as scared and worried as she felt; though that wasn't going to fade away in a night or anything.

Nervously, she made her way to the ballot box and wrote as neatly as her shaky hands would let her. She had never done anything like this before, so she was really unsure how well any of her suggestions would go (maybe she should just keep quiet). This was requested of Professor Emerys though, and she felt a need to complete it. "D-do s-someone actually have an oct-topus f-familiar?" Aa, jack, she had spoken. Though, she did like the idea (well, not the octopus part... that seemed a little weird, something with horns were preferable for her really).

Ash gave a look to the talking familiar, and the boil it was bickering with.

"Who says that felines are not also a valid source of food?" Ash asked, primly, a brow arching beneath the helm, just barely visible through the crack in it. "I am unsure if a seafaring familiar exists, at least not one to that extent."

He hmmed to himself a moment.

"A snake, perhaps. Something with a fury; something that is scary."

"..Does a mascot even have to be an animal? Can't it be like us just... with a weapon or something like that?" Kettil offered a shrug as he put that thought out there.

He was pretty sure a mascot could be about anything ever. Just ... Needed to seem fearsome.

Freya held out her hand for her star.

"OUR MASCOT SHOULD BE NAKED!" See? Emily agreed with her!! She gave Emily a returning thumbs up. This meeting was going SO well!
PostPosted: Fri Sep 06, 2013 1:08 am


Kettil stared down at her hand and then looked at her and then back down at her hand. He took his pen and then drew a star on the palm and wrote 'Kettil's Freya' in the center of the star.

Hey. It meant something if he still claimed you even if you were being embarrassing, loud, and demanding nudity.

Freya held her hand up in the air really high so everybody could see that she got a STAR FOR TRYING!!!

Congratulations on your new RA, Reaper Dorms.

Maple really wasn't sure how she felt about the idea of their mascot being naked. Though, most... familiars were in retrospect but given the context that one of their voted RAs was using, it probably didn't mean in that way but another. And well, the witch simply frowned as she tried not to let the small blush that spread on her cheeks at that kind of thought bother her too much.

Holding up a paw and unsheathing his adorable little kitty claws, Mr. Monty snarled at Ash, "I say, jackhole!" The effect was somewhat ruined by Emily picking him up in her arms when it looked like the familiar was going to lunge at him.

"Sorry! T-to be fair, Mr. Monty turns into a weapon too, so uh...I guess he should check um..." what was that phrase again? "Check his privates."

"IT'S PRIVILEGE! I'M GOING TO s**t OVER EVERYTHING YOU HOLD DEAR! I SWEAR TO-" there was a small puff of smoke, and in place of the familiar was a pair of leopard print drumsticks.

"Sorry." Emily smiled at the gathering, a bit grimly this time.
