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!

[ What was taking him so long? Even Lux was beginning to get suspicious and, as the chair was wheeled in, her somewhat cheery expression dropped quickly.

There was probably a lesson in here. She knew there was.

But did he really have to cut the chair in two? She was looking forward to that chair... ]

Professor Ziggs, I'm fairly certain that that would be considered property damage...

[ Sometimes she really needed to keep her mouth shut, she realized. This was definitely one of these times. ]

[ex_hexplosive684]

You know, you're probably right, eheh... it's a good thing there was some departmental oversight! I don't think anybody's going to be missing this particular one.

But listen. Both of you! As fond as I am of cheesy physical metaphors, this whole little exercise actually means something! [He's hopped up onto the "chair", standing triumphantly on the cushion, and balancing himself as the unfortunate piece of furniture starts to split.]

One: there's no room for egos in the Olympiad! [Pointing directly at Ezreal.] Science isn't about "winning" as much as it is about knowledge! Sure, this whole thing may have a veneer of competition, but you cannot forget where your principles lie!

Two: this was a test of your critical thinking as much as it was your investigative abilities! [Pointing directly at Lux.] If you really thought I was going to give you dangerous, possibly fatal chemicals to play with, you'd be dead wrong! The Olympiad administration is probably going to give you curveballs like this just to keep you on your toes, and you need to be ready for them!

Three: if you really wanted a chair that badly, you could have just asked! [Ziggs hops off of the ruined roller chair, letting it fall apart as he scurries back into the hallway... then rolls in an identical specimen. Not sawed in half.] But if I catch you bickering about who should have control over it, then there'll be... consequences.

Do I make myself clear?

[indy_wannabe]

Crystal. So since you said we just have to ask, can I get a chair professor? A whole and unaltered chair?

[ex_hexplosive684]

[... he brought one in. It's right next to the broken one. In fact, here you go Ez, he's pushing it right at you.

Congratulations.]

[ladyofluminosity]

[ She brightens a little when Zigg deals out the snark at Ezreal, but immediately backs down when he redirects his ire at her. With a slight pout, the blond looks down. ]

Yes, sir.

[ When the chair gets wheeled in, her mood seems to turn at least a little. So the other chair was just for show. Professor Ziggs was a yordle of his word after all! N-not that she had any doubt, of course. ]

Don't worry, we won't.

[indy_wannabe]

[Ezreal eyes the chair dubiously before giving it a mighty push and sliding it over to Lux]

I couldn't make a lady stand. After you, Lux.
