				The game will start on a Saturday, where the students will be able to come in with their stuff driven over from the ferry (with their parents or otherwise), start setting up their rooms and meet their roommates.&nbsp; Teachers will have already come by a few days earlier to be able to be situated with the campus and help students get around.<br><br>Saturday evening will be a beach party, although no swimming will be allowed once the sun goes down.&nbsp; Alcohol and illegal substances are not permitted, and teachers who catch students with such things can are expected to confiscate them and to give the students detention, but punishments can get worse when things are distributed during these parties.<br><br>On Sunday at 10:00 am, the entire college will gather for Matriculation, where the Headmistress will give a formal speech celebrating the opening of the university.&nbsp; From there, more get-togethers and so on, and classes will start on Monday.<br><br><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=145691.msg6568872#msg6568872">Quote from: Iblis121 on 10-07-2012, 20:17:48</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">~Tosses second room key in the air for someone to catch~<br><br>So, how do rooms work in here?

The local rock station decided to do an 80's fashion show and I think every girl that did it had hot pink on and one with a New Kid's on the Block shirt.... Sorry just a little of the wall there....

				I counted 7 students in the characters thread, though I dunno if we're in the process of recruiting another. 8 different dorms seem like it would be hard to manage..unless we end up clocking 1000 posts and get our own Big Game sub board.<br><br>The way another RP I was in set up was that there were two students to a room and teachers got their own individual rooms. We didn't make a thread for each dorm, though. We made a thread for a single floor of the dorm wing, which had two floors, and assigned rooms.<br><br>I guess you could make a male dorm thread and a female dorm thread.

				No worries. My confusion was mostly due to my understanding of Vaulera's post. From what I read, Sophia entered a room, but there was no common room, it was just a bedroom. It made it seem as though there were rooms being shared, but the way I understand it there are common rooms with 4 personal rooms attached, meaning everyone gets their own personal room. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't an error on my part.

				Your understanding is correct. ^_^&nbsp; I think Vaulera just skipped over the common room in her post, which isn't that big of a deal.&nbsp; The individual dorm rooms would be lettered A, B, C, or D in order to help people find their specific spot.

				It's decently sized, and isn't limited to those with Soulblades.&nbsp; As of the start of this game, none of your characters actually have Soulblades, and it's thus not a requirement to join the university.<br><br>Even in the legends, though, soulblades are pretty rare.&nbsp; One person might get one, maybe a few if it's a decently sized group of monsters.

				Ok, since it sound like the 4 of our girls are in the same common room I guess the common room number and the floor doesn't matter for the moment.

				Either way works for me, though I do like the idea of the 4 PC's sharing a common room.<br><br>I think Lihua could set up the stereo on her dresser and keep the amp and guitar in her room as well.

				Tens quare miles sounds right, a slong as it's not a perfect square, that would be silly. Also, this may help you out: http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/B/Biomes.html (http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/B/Biomes.html) It's a list of Biomes, and should be able to help you find and describe the exact geographical features of the island. I hope.<br><br>As far as room sizes go, I'd imagine that if it was a private, one person room (probably with a shared-by-one-other bathroom), the dimensions would be something like... 10 square feet by 13 square feet.&nbsp; If this place is supposed to be posh, though, you could argue that student dorms are larger, probably something like 12x15 square feet. A professor's dorm room is like somewhere around 15x20 square feet, with their own private bathroom. <br><br>I'm just drawing numbers off the internet, of various people talking about college dorm sizes, and just roughly averaging them out for this.

				From what I understand about meteor hammers they fit a midrange role best due to the fact they work off of momentum. They could be used short range if needed, but I don't know if they would create less damage or more.<br><br>With the Chi manipulation I was thinking along the line is it would be used to charge up the hammer to give it more umph when needed. Though she could also use it to bolster her offence and defence if need be. To a lesser extent Lihua would be able to fire of blasts of chi, but it would take concentration to charge up an attack. The quicker blasts would probably do some damage to monsters, but she would not do anything like say Vegeta's Final Flash because it would take to long to charge up the energy needed. <br><br>That and she probably wouldn't have the patience needed to complete the attack or the monsters wouldn't give her the time. There would be the question if her body could handle the gathered energy as well....<br><br>I like the idea of her weapon becoming a spirit animal... I think that would work great. I'm thinking fox at the moment....

				For example, Best friend A and B are typical college kids who decide to go on a cross country road trip to visit character C.&nbsp; Characterization is done, the audience gets to like and know character A and B, and the road trip seems like it's a lot of fun, but pretty stereotypical of a college road trip.&nbsp; That is until one friend decides to play a practical joke on some random stranger, which should normally be completely harmless.&nbsp; However, random stranger just happens to be a little unhinged and begins to stalk, and eventually hunt characters A, B, and C.&nbsp; Now what began as fun and games has turned into a deadly game of cat and mouse with nobody left laughing.<br><br><br>Or you know, typical spring break at the beach.&nbsp; Everyone's there to have fun, swim, drink and party.&nbsp; Things seem to be pretty normal, for Spring Break, that is until a series of shark attacks ends up cancelling everyone's fun, and going for a dip becomes certain death.&nbsp; <br><br>Just as a few examples.

				Well...I personally have a hard time labeling the RP as horror. But that's only because at some point each of us is going to be equipped with the means to destroy these things. It's literally what our characters were born to do, or at least it seems that way.<br><br>However, having bouts of horror, blood and gore spread between long (or short, at times) stretches of the norm would make those times much more potent. Hell, those things are scary, and I've been trying to emphasize the fact that my boy Hideo over here is terrified by all of this. He never even believed that the monsters were real, and now that he sees that they are, and that even SoulBlade wielders are being taken out when the stories talked up their power so much, he's not even sure what to do. <br><br>I personally think that the horror comes from, well, the fact that these students don't know much about the monsters or their plan. And neither do we as the players xD. They/We don't know if these things will suddenly corner someone when they're out on the grounds alone, or if they are/our characters are even safe behind the walls of the school, etc.<br><br>tl;dr, I agree with AribethAmkiir.

				Well, here's what's happened:<br><br>They were giving the introductory speech (which wasn't going very well) when monsters attacked.&nbsp; Lots of them, some digging up from underground, some flying in from the woods.&nbsp; Some kind of shadow monster thing grabbed the headmistress and she managed to wound it with a grenade.&nbsp; It bolted off but not before killing her and dropping her bones back onto the astroturf.<br><br>People are in panic.&nbsp; Everyone's trying to get out, and a few people have soulblades and are trying to protect as many people as they can from the monsters as people work on getting out of the stadium and into the defendable safety of indoors.<br><br>As for drawing it, I'm going to suggest the idea that you see something flittering about in your shadow, reach inside and pull out the rapier.&nbsp; However, how you want to do it is on you.&nbsp; It can just appear, you can try to hit a monster with a chair or something and it turns into the soulblade, or really whatever you want.<br><br>Part of the idea (not a necessity but my original concept) was that soulblades don't appear until people want to actually fight and help stop these things.&nbsp; If that doesn't fit your concept, though, that's fine too.&nbsp; I'm much more interested in everyone having fun than trying to force everyone into a small box.

				To be honest, when doing such player-involved or centric roleplays, the GM disappearing only affects the advancement of stories, the players themselves pick up the slack, and instead of story dev, it turns into character/ player dev, which has it's own merits. No, what destroys a roleplay is when a player drops out when they have established clear association with other characters and players.

				Well, according to the posts, Sophia was a position in which she could see both Nikki and Hideo when they were headed off by the ape things. Nikki left Hideo for dead, but Sophia didn't move, and got to watch Hideo's SoulBlade materialize. I would say if Sophia wanted to come to his aid, she would have to make her way through a swarm or two to get to him. He's not in a good position to be fighting. He can't reload with one hand and his other arm is of no use at the moment. All he can really do is slash at things with the Bayonet. He hasn't figured out that he can be stealthy yet, either, so that's of no use yet either.<br><br>Hideo is already out of the Stadium, as was Nikki. I figured they got a short ways out of there before they were headed off, and I figured they were headed towards Building 9 on the map, which is the Cafeteria.

				Okay, I can see how it's believed that Nikki left Hideo.&nbsp; I should've illustrated that better.&nbsp; Yeah the thought entered her mind and she reacted to it, but almost as soon as she had done so she shouted for him to follow.<br><br>I didn't think we'd even made it out of the stadium as the two gorilla things were blocking our exit.&nbsp; They looked and smiled at Nikki and Hideo and even started moving toward them, which meant that shouting hardly blew any cover.<br><br>Sophia, on the other hand, had made it through the tunnel and was ground level on the field.&nbsp; She ran to the railing nearest her, Hideo and Nikki at the time somewhere a top the stadium, fleeing and looking for a way down. <br><br>So, it's logical that Sophia saw Hideo get grabbed and attacked, and it makes sense that she'd want to go to Hideo's aid (over the countless other injured people, I don't know).&nbsp; &nbsp;But it's somewhat logical.&nbsp; My only point was that she shouldn't be able to get there in a single post, considering everything that's going on.<br><br>I don't know that we're outside of the stadium, if we are, how Sophia is seeing us doesn't make sense.&nbsp; Or how Sophia, whose on the field level makes her way through everything in the way to get to Hideo before Nikki's able to respond.&nbsp; Iblis only posted yesterday.
