Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

The following events are available for the month of February.

Feast of St Valentine’s (February 14th)
Once again, it’s time for Daybreak’s annual Valentine’s celebration. With no daemons predicted to be crashing the party - unlike last year - the school administration calls upon the current student council to organize themes, food and entertainment as they see fit for the upcoming Valentine’s Day ball.

The Last Bastions (February 19th)
As construction of the Bowman Bastion is nearing completion, the US Government has requested a large shipment of Mythril and Orihalcum from the Outlands to finish the shell. Daybreak views this as a perfect opportunity for some of the student body to view the efforts to defend humanity as Nightfall approaches, and for faculty and more experienced students alike to add some extra fortification that the government may have missed. This event will be open to all students and faculty who wish to attend.

Paranormal Investigations (February 23rd)
For those students and staff uninterested in construction work or normal classes, several locations around the world have reported paranormal outbreaks that have seen particular interest from self-professed ghost hunters. Students and faculty will be granted permission to visit those locations and serve various roles, whether as experts, witnesses, or fellow ghost hunters, with the express goal of keeping such people away from any real danger and metaphorically in the dark.

Or, well, scaring or pranking them so badly that they never want to trifle with such things again...but nobody would do that, right?

Faculty-run/Monthly Events

Mini-prompts that can be incorporated into catchall logs, or made into logs of their own. These prompts count for faculty log AC as long as at least one faculty member is responsible for starting the log, though they can also be joint logs.
Players are free to incorporate these prompts into their own logs, even if they are not faculty.

Magical Safety Classes
Due to an ironic mishap with improper use of safety gear, the staff member who usually takes care of demonstrating how horribly awry magic can go is currently in the infirmary and won’t be well for some time. The Academy has therefore asked for staff volunteers for special ‘demonstrations’ on how their chosen subject can be a potential hazard in the wrong (right?) hands.

Valentines Deliveries
In certain countries, February is the month of celebrations, but more urgently for many, it’s the month in which Valentine’s Day falls. That means it’s a time for exchanging chocolates, gifts, and other romantically-aligned paraphernalia, and that means students can make a brisk trade in procuring and delivering such things. Golf carts are provided for those making deliveries.

Chocolate Making
Chocolate making workshops return for another year! Though Nightfall’s enroachment becomes more urgent, there’s no reason not to allow people to make some custom treats for themselves or for others, whether as gifts or to sell. The Academy has only added to it, giving enterprising students and staff the means to customize their chocolate through mundane means (edible glitter, dried fruits, and nuts, among other things you might see in a candy bar) all the way through to colourful, magical ingredients that are of uncertain origin and occasionally very uncertain edibility (technicoloured glitter, outlands fruit, and...those are probably gummi worms, and not real ones).

For older students and staff, the option to add alcohol into your chocolate is also available, though in the interests of not explicitly encouraging underage drinking, separate rooms have been provided for those specific tasks.

Rogue Matchmaking Machine
Though last year’s archiving activities were generally successful, a few artifacts have escaped containment and are now on the loose. One such artifact is an old ‘test of love’ machine, apparently enchanted to be more ‘accurate’ in its tendencies of predicting a perfect match. What its criteria for a ‘perfect’ match is, though, can range from vaguely predictable to downright esoteric - and it’s just as likely to spit out a reading of ‘best frenemies’ or ‘destined to duel to death’ as it is something resembling anything romantic.

It can and will interrupt any conversations if possible. It is inconvenient. It is ridiculous. It is a menace, and its only desire in life is to matchmake.

Faculty Nights
Need a night to unwind and destress now that school is well and truly back in session and the paperwork is piling up? That’s what these little staff-only outings are for. Whether it’s drinking, video games, or more physical exertions, monthly faculty nights are back in session. The theme for this month, such as it is, is Carnival.
