Weekend 1

Weekends generally either consist of events or free days.

On an Event weekend, I'll post what the event is and what will be required for it.

on a Free weekend, I'll just post that it's a free weekend and give any optional time-limited actions that can be taken that weekend.

On any weekend, you can take one action for each day (so 2 in total), and these actions can be any of the following:

Rest: Recovers fatigue, which can be gained by taking certain actions.
Study: Raise a single attribute by .2 or a proficiency by 2, or two of such by half as much, with the same mechanics as taking a class in that subject.
Explore: Go out on the town and see if you can find anything interesting. Consumes a day and generates Fatigue, but may result in useful discoveries.
Development: Attempt to refine your own natural magic to produce a new innate skill. Gains bonuses from having a tutor or some other source of knowledge about your potential abilities.

The weekend is also where most free role-play will take place outside of events, so feel free to interact with your fellow students at this time.

Week 2 will begin tomorrow, February 14th. Please wrap up any RP and have your weekend activities posted by then.

The guard in question seems quite relaxed, keeping a casual eye on the situation despite mostly just looking like he's relaxing in his chair.

"Mentioned him. Roommate, right?" He shrugs. "Well, in any case, don't get too friendly."

"I'll take that as stupid, then. Right, let's try to fix that. Stop trying to get sweet with the vampires. It's a bad idea and is gonna get you killed. You should know this. I've read your file, I've read everyone here's file, and you know how dangerous they are. Just because they look like cute girls doesn't change that behind those eyes is a monster that wants nothing more than to tear your throat out and shower in your blood for no other reason than because they can. No matter how they see you intellectually, how they rationalize it to themselves, you will never be more than at best a potential possession, and that's arguable considering what that means. If you keep this shit up, you're going to get both yourself, and them, killed, and all because you're too stupid to realize that you're playing with fire."

He takes a deep breath.

"You savvy?"

Zack would come along with his sister relatively willingly, having to head to the same building anyway, and generally wanting to spend a little time with her making sure she was ok before just wandering off on his own anyway. "I guess. Maybe they're just too polite to mention it. Also... is the speech that bad? I wouldn't expect they'd give you too much of a mouthful." he shrugs. Eventually, they'd make their way to the actual dorm building, and when she moves to take a look at the list, he'd do the same, scanning over it before finally finding his own room, making a quiet noise of disappointment in the back of his throat. "looks like I'm a few floors up. Shame. Glad you got an easy trip, though." When they're interrupted by the... other vampire, he'd raise an eyebrow, tilting his head. "Seems someone wants to talk to you."

The man pauses for a moment as everything is laid out, then bursts out laughing, leaning on the desk.

"Cheeky kid, I like you."

He pushes back the tasers, as well as motioning for him to keep the candy cane and the crucifix. "To our knowledge no-one is actually going to be hurt by that unless it's got something hidden in it." He shrugs. "I'll put the rest in storage and get you a smartlock for that." he nods toward the revolver, standing up to go look through a small cabinet that had been placed to the side, eventually producing two small plastic cases, one designed to hold a revolver, the other a knife, both set with what looked like high-tech locking mechanisms, presumably designed to keep them locked unless an emergency occurred. The knife's appeared to have a manual override. "That one's just to register whenever you unlock it, is all. Records." He'd hand them over, then start to bag up the various guns Dom had given him.

Upon reaching the dorm building which had been indicated by their admissions paperwork, the group would find that they had all been placed on the first floor of a relatively large building. The majority of them had rooms that were positioned off of a central hallway, while the end of the hall was dedicated to a dormitory with a much sturdier door, which appeared to lock from the outside judging by the mechanism mounted upon it. The rooms themselves were basically identical, with a pair of beds, a small office space, and ample storage for anything that they would need. At the opposite side of the hallway was a dedicated kitchen and dining area, along with a common room with televisions, tables for games, and various other distractions. Outside was a small recreational area where one could exercise, relax outside, and generally enjoy the outdoors. Generally upon entering their rooms, the students would find their luggage placed upon their beds, ready to be unpacked. Dom in specific would find a sheet of paper on his, as well.

This letter is to inform you, Dominicus Helsing, that certain items within your luggage have been deemed unsuitable for unrestricted access within the Eventide University Campus. Specifically, referring to section 3, part 2 of your student handbook: "Eventide University restricts the usage and possession of lethal weapons within its grounds to those absolutely necessary for the practice of magic, and these are to be properly registered and kept in secure storage except during such times as they are required for practice. while this does not entirely eliminate the possibility of assault by other students, it is much easier for us to ward against magical harm and danger than that provided by certain types of purely mundane weapons that are easily modified from their base qualities." Owing to this, several pieces of combat equipment have been removed from your luggage and placed under secure storage in the administration building pursuant to the waiver that you signed upon being accepted into the school. We would also request you turn over any additional weapons which are carried on your person, with the exception of: 1 (one) small melee self-defense weapon and, as it relates to your magical ability, we will allow for a secure guard to be placed on 1 (one) small arm of your choice to be carried on your person which will be unlocked during training times and/or in case of an emergency. We hope that you understand that, especially in respect to your background, we only wish the best for the safety and security of our students, and that in all likelihood such weapons will not be required.

Thank you,

Samantha Torsdottir, Head of Security, Eventide University Administration.
