I've an idea where the group could meet. Since Russia a very shall we say musical city with Ballet, and Opera ect. How about we meet in a old abandoned Opera House which we magic to make it appear empty when people are inside.

I personally think it would be better if that was initially my character's secret hide out. Once she has recruited enough people however, it can be turned into some sort of meeting place.

And also, how and when would they be able to venture out to this opera house? I think that for that to happen, there has to be times where students are allowed to leave the castle.

Might work, yeah, just not sure of how likely one would be to find one such building close enough to the school without having people aware about it.
Actually, I wanted to ask something along those lines: do the students ever have any spare time, or does the school try to put as much stuff in their schedules as possible so they don't go doing subversive stuff?

Hrmm what about a sunken opera house? (it sunk when things were being cleared away to establish the foundations of the Academy). That would be feasible. Also, their schedule is similar to that of Hogwarts and they are allowed to venture out once classes are over. Maybe with the help of my character and jasminebell's (both characters whom are skilled at charms) they can teach the resistance group to master the Disillusionment Charm so they can sneak off to this hideout when they need to?

And on a side notes, the situation in this storybook isn't as intense as that of 1984 (say it is only 40% as intense as the situation was in 1984).

Works for me. Also, how involved is the army with the school? Just patrolling around, or actively getting involved when anything happens?
What of the propaganda/raising the kids as nice little Stalinists? How's that work?

Two ideas one is that the School is often investigated by Stalin's army and the best students are taken away to be trained as an elite unit. They measure this also by how loyal the person is to Stalin and it isn't rare for a student to be killed right there by them. Stalin has a crack team of Aurors that pledged loyalty only to him.

One of the ghost's in the building is a Specteral Knight called Lord Evard a noble evil he shows loyalty and honesty.

Yo.

Okay, so in my last post I sort of introduced the headmaster. Now, I didn't really do too much with him, because I didn't really know if you guys had any preconceived ideas about him, or what. So he's kinda just there in the post.

I also left it where I did because I'm not sure what to do with this Alec character. I know that Kaminski took him into the school because (and Pali and Squall--you know this) we can't really have some random character coming and going into the school as he pleases what with him not being a student, nor a teacher, nor any sort of authority figure. So. I think one of the ideas was that we could potentially force him to become a student. Or, there is probably a plethora of other ideas we could run with. I don't know what AyumiGosu wants done with that character, either.

So I left it there.

Anywho. I think that it's probably best that if we have a school, we should figure out what the headmaster's like.

Personally, I think that he should be pretty personable and somewhat kind for the most part, maybe with a more sinister side, since he's affiliated with Stalin and what-have-you. As for a name...not too sure.

What do you say?
