I'll keep trying, even if I'm not good enough...
I also want in!
Not sure with who yet, but I have time to decide! XD
Even better that it goes live Saturday~~ :3

Everyone's fighting some battle of their own.
I'll be flying home on Saturday so I won't be getting home until that night and will probably go to sleep almost immediately...if I can only join in the fun for Sunday, could I still join the snow party?

Roll call so far:
Me, Hink, Frixz, Muse, Nessy, and Lioness.
The more the merrier as far as I am concerned. And don't worry if you are busy for the weekend. My hope is that we can get at least several dozen posts out of this, so when I say go live is Saturday night, I am just saying that is when I plan to post an introductory post, and/or an Aaron post. We probably won't get past establishing the scene before Monday afternoon, so don't be afraid to throw your hat in the ring. That is up to nine students right there if I counted right. (Ten if Lucas makes a cameo!) Still plenty of room though. Not presuming everyone will bring all their characters either, but you can if you want.
It would be nice to have another teacher there, @Bag o Fruit @Zahzi @DJ MagicHat @Suzuki Mine
Director is also welcome @Giyari
It might be funny if it is just Aaron and Page though for staff; hijinks ensue!
Anyway, pleased by quick response, super excited to test out this new approach. Thanks in advance for helping everybody!

Could I bring in Piper and Lara since they're going to be joining the party in Ep. 4? :3
Gus

I certainly don't mind. Run it by Welian just in case though. (Tomorrow, after her exams are done.)
I am actually hoping she says ok, because I'd like to introduce Manami, and I'm hoping Bagofruit brings the new guidance councilor too!
Lioness075

Yeah, it might not make enough sense for Piper to join the party since she wouldn't be a student at Facility 108, but I definitely would love for Lara to join in.
Gus
Justice RIDES AGAIN!!!
Seven, SEVEN players have joined the mission! Ah ha ha ha!
I could imagine her showing up just to see if she can talk to somebody about doing a photo shoot and getting stuck with the rest of us.
Lioness075

This is true. Maybe she shows up trying to find a receptionist so she can request that photo shoot, then she has no choice but to stay.
ManicMuse
I ax-o-lotl questions.
Totally random question, do we have a new community service teacher?
Or one in the making?
Or one in the making?

Oops. didn't see the response. Regarding the photo shoot, I suppose that would depend on if she is a photographer for hire. And if she is good enough that the school wants her around.

I have an idea. Maybe Piper has a university project centered around super culture and their learnings. So she goes to Facility 108 for research and to take photos for the project.
Lioness075
Everyone's fighting some battle of their own.
That could tie in with Gus' idea of her having a photo shoot scheduled at the Facility. I like it. ^^

In arbitrary milestone news, I just passed 1000 on community reputation!
I know it is rather silly, but that makes me happy

I tried to quote you giyari, but i can't seem to post it.
It should be the second post after Welian's in the mission board.
The actual thread is not up yet. Will be posted in IC Saturday night.

Episode 2.5
Epilogue for a Knightmare
1/14/40
The events described in Episode II conclude with nearly three dozen dead, and many more hospitalized.
Danny Travis's older brother, a policeman, shows up at the zoo to collect him and take him home. Reflecting back on the day leaves Danny and his family shaken. Whether he will even go back to school seems in doubt.
Klaus Von Scheiffer faces the wrath of his wife for not checking in soon enough after the horror of the mall. They both take on the task of comforting their adopted daughter Minah, who has been through worse, but had thought coming to America would put that all behind her.
Denzil DeKlerk, the political powers teacher who helped capture the school intruder alive, wanders home and only when he turns on the news realizes the full horror of the day's news. He reaches out to family to reassure them he is all right, and spends the rest of the evening growing flowers to comfort his injured colleague Eve, as well as to honor the fallen student, Lucas.
Cecilia Pelligrini also goes home from Saturday classes with no idea of anything worse than the strange intrusiom by Avecca Zayn had happened. It is a call from her grandmother in Italy that first makes her aware of the scope of the disaster that the press is dubbing “Knight day.” Assuring her grandmother that it is just viral marketing for a movie and not actual news, Cecilia felt terrible for lying, but couldn't imagine any other way to avoid frighting her. It is only after hanging up the phone and turning off the news that the enormity of the events sink in for her, and she weeps more than she has ever done. For the first time in a long time, she considers leaving the US and returning to Italy.
Kendrick Haywood is also shocked when he finally gets home to discover that commonwealth HQ was just the tip of the iceberg. All of the housekeeping staff is amazed that he survived. Kendrick just feels sick when he sees the news reports from the mall, and barely makes it to the bathroom before throwing up. After cleaning himself up and getting a shower, he tries to forget about the world beyond the walls of his family estate by playing chess with his closest friend, a maid named Petra, who had given him his first toy, Ted.
Gavin Dabbs, an unpowered bystander from the mall, deals with consequences of concussion and post traumatic stress, in part by spending the rest of his day helping with the rescue efforts, even after being brought down by a secondary explosion. By the time he gets home he is in shock and exhausted, but does not truly sleep until dawn.
Lucius Tolbert also helps with rescue efforts at the mall. Eventually he is reunited with his parents and brother, but of his sister, there is no word. For him and his family life has entered an intolerable silence of desperate unspoken fear, leavened with the hope that maybe it won't get worse. It is over a week before they hear anything.
Aaron visits his assistant teacher Eve in the hospital late at night and confesses that he doesn't feel he can do the job much longer; he has only had it one day. She seems to be asleep and probably does not hear him. He resigns himself to keeping on at least until she is better.
1/15/40
Isabella Chase is at home sick, having gotten a bad soaking from the school sprinklers and then gotten a bad cold. She is somewhat comforted however, to discover that the mysterious device she stole from the school intruder after she was finally knocked out by a teacher, turned out to house a powerful automated grappling cable. The possibilities are dizzying! So is hanging from the ceiling of her dad's apartment. Not so good for the ceiling though.
Mitch Castle spends some time by herself, using a hair dryer to dry out her textbooks, and ordering pizza. She also finds herself thinking about the school intruder Avecca Zayn, now imprisoned in the holding cells underneath the clinic. The one thing she cannot understand, the thing nobody seems to want to talk about, or failed to notice among all the strangeness of the previous day, is why her blood was blue rather than red.
The memorial service for Lucas Marsolet is brief. He has no known family. Nobody really knew him well enough to say anything except his Sifu, and she opts not to speak. Denzil DeKlerk offers a bouquet of flowers he grew specially for the memorial. The tombstone is donated by a local blue card with stone manipulation powers. There is nothing left of him to bury; no sign left of him where he fell but a few droplets of blood. Presumably the rest of his body disassociated back into the electrons it was formed from.
1/16/40
Asher Torchinovich takes two students to task for their actions on Saturday. Both of them assaulted him during the capture of Avecca Zayn. Surprisingly, it is the supposedly delinquent Alexis who shows contrition. The hyper intelligent Viola has, to her mind, perfectly rational reasons for her attempt to disable Asher's guitar, and refuses to admit wrongdoing. She thinks it is Asher who should be contrite, and drops out of sight for over two weeks.
Two mysterious NPCs, identified only as Joey and Tony (Anthony!) drive up into Pennsylvania, on the orders of someone going by the title of 'comptroller.' They discover a power substation that has burnt out. Oddly the burn marks are in the shape of a human body outline. They call in to report that whoever it is they were after is 'long gone.'
1/17/40-1/21/40
Classes proceed more or less normally at AEGIS for the next week.
Eve is still in the hospital, as is Chris.
The press is eviscerating AEGIS over its handling of the Knights, as well as the zoo. Nobody seems to have taken notice of the attack on the school, or on commonwealth headquarters; apparently they weren't disasterous enough to be news.
Aaron has a sort of crisis of no faith, and is convinced he has made a mistake in signing on as a teacher; he tries to minimize the damage he might do through incompetence by doing nothing other than Commonwealth approved worksheets. He no longer sleeps or eats, and wanders Baltimore at night looking for crime.
1/23/40
In desperation, Aaron asks for a sign, and gets one, sort of. In any case, he is inspired to throw himself back into teaching, and asks for the next day off to get ready for 'something big' on wednesday the 25th.
1/24/40
Aaron spends the day building a death trap for his students in the barrens behind the school. No more worksheets! Yay?
