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

WEATHER

Expect warmer than normal temperatures through mid September, with cooler weather settling in around the later half, especially at night. The trees around Valoran Institute will start to turn colors around this time as well, ushering in a crisp, albeit somewhat dry, end of the month.

ONGOING THROUGH SEPTEMBER

BACK TO SCHOOL! It's that time again, school is back in session. Did you get into all the classes you wanted? Do you like all your teachers? And who is that new kid sitting next to you? This is going to be your year, kid, we just know it. Year for what? Who knows!
SCHOOL SPIRIT! We have spirit, yes we do! Classes from VPrep, VCad and VU compete to see who has the most Poro Pride in this week-long display of pep! Don your school colors of white and blue, and even catch the band performing! What class will win?
CLUBS! With the new school year starting, school clubs and other extra curriculars are hitting the pavement and looking for new recruits. Some have already started to get into the swing of things, but that means voting for Club President and Vice-President. Will you run?
AUTUMN FAIR! Come be one with nature with the annual Valoran Autumn Fest, taking place just outside of campus. Come pet farm animals, play games, go on exciting rides, eat lots of food that may or may not be good for you, and, of course, go to the fireworks at night.
WILD CARD! Come up with your own prompt!

MONSTERS OF THE MONTH!
Supercharged minions have been trickling out of the Institute of War and attacking the hallowed halls of Valoran Institute. Usually this wouldn't be a problem, but along with being baron buffed, they're much larger and aggressive than usual! There are some seen that are bigger than a man!

MINI EVENT!

TOLO DANCE MONSTER MASH! Institute is hosting their annual Tolo Dance. What's a Tolo dance, you ask? The girls ask the boys! They can say no, of course, but would you really want to be caught dead without a date? Of course not! The weather is supposed to be a bit chilly that evening, so you better cuddle in close. We also hear there's a chance of Voidling showers, so come prepared!

A few minutes ago. I know all the shortcuts around here.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ How could he-- ]

But we've only been in class for a week and a half! How could you know every single shortcut here?

[ She's calling your bluff here, Ez. There's no way he would know something like that. He skipped, or left early, or something, she's sure of it! And she was going to nail him on it. ]

[indy_wannabe]

A little school like this is nothing to the Grandmaster Explorer of Piltover. I could've mapped this place when I was a toddler.

[ladyofluminosity]

So I've heard.

[ That was how he got in, supposedly. But whether that was true or just smoke and mirrors went sight unseen. Mapping the entirety of Piltover's underground? She'd believe it when she saw it.

Sitting down at the extremely small table that they had to share as co-presidents, she pulled out a notebook and a pen. ]

Well, since you're already here, we should probably discuss a few things. Mr. Ziggs tells me that enrollment and retention are both down, and that, as it stands, if we lose even one more member we won't be tournament legal. What do you propose we do about this?

[indy_wannabe]

Relax, I got it. I know a few people.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ Telling Lux not to worry about this kind of thing is like telling her not to breathe.

She raises an eyebrow. ]

Oh? Like who? Do you really think they would join?

[indy_wannabe]

Eh, probably. I know for a fact a lot of 'em don't have anything better to do.

[ladyofluminosity]

That isn't good enough. They need to be able to dedicate their entire being to this cause!

[ ...Okay, maybe not that much, even she couldn't do that with homework and other extra curriculars. But maybe she could scare him a little with that. ]

If we're going to last year's champions, Piltover Prep, we have to be the best, no exceptions. I won't expect any less, and neither should you.

[indy_wannabe]

I know the entire Piltover Prep team, they're pretty good but not as good as me.

[ladyofluminosity]

Then that means I should have no problem at all.

[ She smirks at him haughtily. ]

[indy_wannabe]

Not so fast. I know their strengths and weaknesses. You don't.

[ladyofluminosity]

And you're assuming I can't learn them and exploit them? I can be pretty scary when I want to be. I will win, have no doubt.

[indy_wannabe]

Sure, fine, whatever you say Miss co-president.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ Her eyebrow very visibly twitches, and she gives him a cool look before looking down at her notes. She tries to look thoroughly invested in them, but really, she's just trying to keep her cool.

Or sound good.

Probably both. ]

I'll have you know that the Crownguard family has a long tradition of serving the king, and ensuring his safety by any means necessary. We aren't afraid to take certain measures to get the job done.

[ Certain "legal" measures, of course. Because who do you take them for? ]

[indy_wannabe]

Figures you Demacians are just as underhanded as the Noxians. Count me out, I'm not gonna fight dirty for something like this.

[1/2]

[ladyofluminosity]

[ She sputters. ]

Excuse me?! Underhanded?! Like Noxians?! Oh no, no, no, you have it all wrong. We do everything by the book, I can assure you! Don't you ever lump us in with those despicable, conniving, smelly--

[2/2]

[ladyofluminosity]

[ Calm down, Lux, he was just trying to get you riled up, like he has been since he walked into the room. You're the bigger woman, you can take this dirty explorer's insults.

She clears her throat, taking a breath to regain her composure, and looks up from her notes. ]

What I mean to say is that if there's information to be had, I can find it. You vastly underestimate my ability to find and retain information. This position isn't just for show. You should know that.

[2/2]

[indy_wannabe]

We'll see. Anyway, the first event is in a month, so we'll need to get ready for that. I already told the Piltover kids I'm gonna kick their asses so I need to make good on my promise.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ That actually gets a bit of a smirk from her, despite the previous kerfuffle. ]

At least we'll know that way it will be a good fight. So, what are your subjects? We should probably figure out some ideal teams going in.

[indy_wannabe]

Engineering and Earth Sciences, although I can do pretty much anything better than most people.

[ladyofluminosity]

[ Well, she was going to admit to a fault or two, but not after that display. ]

Is that why you couldn't beat me, then?

[ Implying she's not "most people." ]

[indy_wannabe]

To be fair I didn't get beat by you either.

[ladyofluminosity]

Yet.

[indy_wannabe]

Just keep thinking that.

[ladyofluminosity]

I give you until next month, tops. We'll see what Mr. Ziggs says after he sees how well you perform in comparison.

You better study up, Ezreal. I don't plan on sharing this spot forever, so enjoy it while you can.
