"The moral of this story, is that if I cause a stranger to choke to death for my amusement, what do you think I’ll do to you if you don’t tell me who ordered you to kill Colosimo?“
In a paper-thin attempt to keep this storybook running, I have decided to introduce an Event! An Event in the context of Academy is basically a plot twist that isn't too relevant to the story, but gives us something to do. In this case the Event is an army of black slimy figures invading the Academy. They are mindless, soulless peons of QM that he has brought into the Academy grounds, not so much for the purposes of attack as much as to observe the abilities of not only his Anti-Villainy group, but the entire student body.
No one in the Academy knows where they came from, save for Dominic Kent (that is, he knows they are minions of QM, but he doesn't know that Isaac and QM are one and the same, nor does anyone else). They are immune to most attacks, which will simply bounce off or be absorbed by their jelly-like hide, unless their core, a red glowing ball, is struck with a moderately powerful attack, be it a spell, energy blast, fireball or even just a really strong punch. This is the only way to destroy one. They do not respond to mind control or telepathy, of course.
At the time of Zeke's post, 9:45 am, they have already spread across the entire campus. They will mindlessly wander until they see a living potential victim, at which point they will attack. They have no magical attacks: brute force is their only weapon.
This Event will last for a minimum of fifteen posts (not including Zeke's in which they first appear). After that, it can be ended by anyone who simply posts that they have destroyed the last invader. Enjoy!
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Academy I, skutter11, have drawn a definitive picture of Arthur! It took me a biro, three coloured pencils and two days to do! Here it is:
Ok, so following my rollcall PM, most of you are still active, though there is a short list of people I haven't heard back from. However, I still don't want to kill off any non-NPCs (PCs?) just yet.
Also, I've put up the Post Count spreadsheet on the Everything Page. You can see how many posts everyone has. I shall also put a link to Everything Page on the front page of both the SB and DT after I post this, following Kyllorac's long-not-taken advice.
Finally, the blobs event has at least 2 posts to go. However, since we haven't made much progress exterminating them, I'm extending it to 25 posts total, meaning it has at least 7 to go. This way, we don't suddenly go from hiding in dorms to "Hey, I've killed the last one!" (Don't worry, I'm not having a go at you. This is actually kind of a good thing, it's more incentive to post.)
And remember post length, people. 200 word minimum, keep that in mind. Generally, we're doing well in that department.
