NOVEMBER ( Soundtrack ) ( Top-level view ) ( Latest Page )

WEATHER

November proves to be unusually cold this year, with a heavy frost setting in around the second day of the month and lingering throughout. Temperatures during the day are brisk, leading toward positively cold nights, and some begin to wonder whether the school will see an early snowfall this year. Flurries will begin to set in around the 28th of the month.

ONGOING THROUGH NOVEMBER

GIVE THANKS! November ushers in the last of the harvest festivals, and with them, people are encouraged to come together and give thanks for the bountiful harvest for the year. What does this entail? Festivals around the area, usually with livestock and produce, and, of course, parties with lots and lots of food!
EXAMS! The dreaded mid-terms. You knew this time was coming. Did you study for your tests? Do your tests even matter to you? Teachers, are you a sadist? Or will you show your poor students a bit of mercy (the answer is no, you should never show them mercy)? Heaven or Hell, let's rock these tests!
WATCH OUT! The campus has become a dangerous place lately, and we don't just mean the monster attacks! With temperatures dipping below freezing, frost and ice will begin to spread at a surprising rate. It seems a bit suspicious, actually...
OPEN HOUSE! This time of year is notorious for family members to stop by and visit, and, as such, Valoran Institute will be hosting an open house during the early part of the month. Catch up with your dear aunts and uncles, pester your kid siblings, or maybe just try to avoid getting embarrassed by your parents. Good luck, it never works.
WILD CARD! Come up with your own prompt!

MONSTERS OF THE MONTH!
Things seem to be relatively quiet around the campus, surprisingly enough. It seems that those valorous vigilantes have been gaining a bit of notoriety, judging by how the student body has begun talking about them. But don't get too complacent. Rumor has it that strange robed figures have been spotted around the campus, late at night.

MINI EVENT!

MID-TERM STRETCH! With mid-terms over around the 13th, the faculty have gotten together to play a game. In line with their tradition of nurturing young, strong and tactical minds, they have concocted what they call the Mid-Term Stretch! Students will be pitted against each other in a competition. The sport? To be determined. Although rumor has it that it may have something to do with paint...

You could have just told me, "Hey, by the way, I'm the Masked Debonair, that guy who has been helping you all this time." That would have been really nice, you know.

[ Maybe then she wouldn't have spent all that time being a stupid teenage girl in your general direction. Ugh. So angry right now.

She takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself. Temper, Luxanna. ]

How did you find out in the first place? I obviously haven't told anyone.

[indy_wannabe]

I saw you walk off when those zombies hit. I didn't really want to let you get eaten so I followed, and then you transformed.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ She puts a hand on her forehead, sitting down on the computer chair. ]

I'm usually so careful to make sure no one follows me...

[ Lux looks a bit worried now. If Ezreal was able to trail her easily enough, and after the encounter with that strange "student" who called her blondie. ]

[indy_wannabe]

To be fair I'm pretty stealthy. Comes with the territory. I didn't catch anyone else in the area though so I think you're safe.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ She breathes out a sigh of relief. Looking up, she gives him a bit of a pout, the blush that had overtaken her face starting to finally calm down. ]

So how long were you planning to keep all of this from me, huh? I'm still pretty mad.

[indy_wannabe]

Not too long. I just had to figure out what I wanted to do about it. If it was even a good idea to let you know who I am. I mean we're fighting some pretty dangerous stuff. This kind of thing is new to me, at least.

[ladyofluminosity]

What do you mean if it was a good idea? Were you really going to keep something like this from me? We're comrades!

[ A pause. She's seen way too many magical girl shows. ]

Right?

[indy_wannabe]

Are we? I don't mind, but I wasn't sure you could call it that. I'm happy to give you a hand when you need it and make sure you don't get hurt, but I didn't know you were trying for anything more than a solo gig.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ Wow, why did that sting more than a bit. ]

...I thought we were.

[ That knocked the wind out of her sails. She tries to smile through it. ]

But if that's how you feel, then I guess that's how it is.

[indy_wannabe]

Hey, hey now! Like I said, being comrades would be nice. But that's your decision, not mine. I'll continue to help you out no matter what, but if you want to fight with me, that's up to you. Just be warned, if you do, I'm not gonna go easy on you.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ She blinks, smile falling a bit. ]

Huh? What do you mean?

[indy_wannabe]

When I'm done with you you'll be able to fly through those shortcuts without thinking about it, in half, maybe even a quarter the time.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ You've triggered her competitive nature.

Then again, he probably anticipated that. ]

Is that a challenge?

[indy_wannabe]

If you think you can keep up.

[ladyofluminosity]

If I can keep up, he says.

[ She throws her head back a bit, putting a few strands behind her ear. ]

Ezreal, you don't know who you're talking to. Tell me I can't do something and I'll make you eat your words. You should know that. You should be asking yourself if you are up for the challenge.

[indy_wannabe]

I'm always up for it. Maybe eventually I won't have to give you a head start.

[ladyofluminosity]

If you think you have to give me a handicap, then you'll never win.

[indy_wannabe]

Well, we'll have to see about that.

Anyway, now that you're here, what do you wanna do? We probably have to camp out for a few hours.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ Lux still feels a bit strange about the whole thing (namely how calm and all right with it she is), but a distraction might be nice. ]

I'm not sure. Do you have any suggestions?

[indy_wannabe]

I've got some anime and some video games if you want to watch or play anything.

[ladyofluminosity]

Video games?

[ She looks vaguely interested. ]

I'm not really allowed to play those. My dad says they take time away from studying.

[indy_wannabe]

Having a bit of fun isn't a waste of time, it's just finding the balance. Studying all day isn't really effective anyway. I've got a few different kinds here, what are you interested in? Fighting games, shooting games, RPGs, er, role-playing games, it basically means a game that's also a novel and a movie. Adventure and open world games. I've got a bunch, what sounds good?

[He gestures over to his shelf which is indeed stocked with all kinds of games with varying covers and artwork on them]

[ladyofluminosity]

[ Lux looks a little overwhelmed. That's a lot to choose from. Um... ]

Are there any that we can both play? It isn't really fair if only one person can play the game.

[indy_wannabe]

I've got a few, yeah. Fighting games are basically arena things, we each pick a character and try to win in a fight. Shooting games can be multiplayer too, but they're not as fun one on one. I have a few cooperative RPGs and adventure games too, here, let me pull them out for you.

[The stack grows a lot smaller]

[ladyofluminosity]

That sounds like it could be interesting. Let's try a fighting game.
