GRAND OPENING: MINGLE POST!

[rukhmods]

Welcome to Magnoshutatt!

The game is officially OPEN! Feel free to make your own posts in the community and get the ball rolling. To commemorate the game's opening, we've set up this intro mingle post to help you guys get settled in. NPCs might even pop in from time to time to guide your characters along or make their school life harder. Even so, we hope you have fun and enjoy!

Please don't forget to add the date when the thread is taking place (e.g. "5th day of the 1st term", "term 1, day 5") in the subject line! December 1 is the 1st day of the 1st term, December 2 is the 2nd... you get the idea.

DUNGEON'S ENTRANCE

[rukhmods]

Everyone starts here. You open your eyes and realize not only are you not alone but there are other people here who have no idea how they arrived just like you.

More info on the dungeon's appearance can be found here. What happens during your arrival can be found here.

KODOR EXAM

[rukhmods]

After arriving, you will be taken to the Kodor Exam. Once your turn is up, step into the magic circle and perform your greatest spell! Regardless of how much or how little magic you had at home, you will be able to perform a very weak spell and be placed in the 6th kodor.

What happens here is explained in the Kodor section of the Academy & School Life page.

DORMITORIES

[rukhmods]

Once you have been sorted into your kodor, you'll receive a schedule and be escorted to the dormitories. Meet your room mate, say hello to your neighbor, and make some friends.

More about the dormitories can be found here and here.

BODY STRENGTHENING MAREF

[rukhmods]

It's time to look at your schedule. Lucky you! You have body strengthening maref. Wow, what does that mean? You will quickly find out it is like an extreme physical education class. When will you learn magic? Fool! With a body as weak as yours, you should not even waste your time thinking about that!

More about this maref can be found here. NPCs may tag your threads!

BASIC MAGIC MAREF

[rukhmods]

On the first day of class, you will be asked to place your hand on a statue to figure out what your type affinity is. After that, expect to learn some very basic lessons like how to light a handle, move water, or turn a pinwheel. You will also learn how to use basic flying magic to navigate the magic carpets around the city.

More about maref can be found here. More about magic and type affinities can be found here. NPCs may tag your threads!

LUNCH BREAK

[rukhmods]

After a long day of class, it is time to take a break for lunch. Where you sit in the dining hall is crucial because everyone is here. You have your sixth kodor weaklings, magician nerds, cool magicians, unfriendly magician hotties, magicians who eat their feelings...

LIBRARY

[rukhmods]

Maybe you were just exploring when you found it or you really need to study. The library is full of books as far and as high as one can see. There are ladders to reach books on high shelves but some books require use of a magic carpet.

From the Magnoshutatt info page: A wide selection of literature on various topics can be found here - fiction, poetry, treatises, travel guides, you name it. Most books and scrolls will be about magic, of course. Material on other nations in the game’s setting may be found, but characters will find nothing about Magnoshutatt’s history.

OTHER

[rukhmods]

Explore the school and start your own threads with whatever scenario you can think of. Remember that students without Magnoshutatt citizenship are not allowed to go to the other districts without permission!

Re: BASIC MAGIC MAREF

[broadens]

[ Kiki's disappointed in herself, honestly. She thought, being a witch, she'd fly through all of this (pun intended) with flying colors, but she still could only manage a tiny poof when she discovered her type affinity. She was no better than any of the other people, who had no idea they could use magic before that day.

That is, she was disappointed in herself until she was told they'd be flying. When offered a magic carpet, she just shakes her head. ] Oh, no thank you! I've got this handled already. [ She pulls out her broom, waves it around for a moment for the teacher, then firmly plants herself on it and takes off. After about five minutes, she circles back around to the class, with a tiny, slightly coy smile. ] So, how'd I do?

[greatcleavage]

[Roy has made a classic mistake.]

[He has taken a seat in the corner, with a book he'd gotten from who knows where, and is scowling at it with an expression that promises a cold response to anyone who dares disturb him.]

[Why is this a mistake? Well, he's a secretive and antisocial figure in a corner. By definition, he must have a plot hook or some interesting task or information!]

[greatcleavage]

A Broom of Flying? That's... surprisingly classic.

[Roy has at least managed to get over his bitter irritation and cynicism enough to appreciate a magic item he's familiar with.]

[idolizer]

[ No matter what the lady magician told her, or how hard she thinks about this, Sayaka Maizono is convinced that this place is an afterlife of all sorts. This can't be a dream... dead people can't dream. If anything, she would suspect that the stab in her gut made her comatose, but it can't be true. She could see her vision blur and turn white, the last thing she saw was that... horrible murderer staring down at her with glee as life slowly slipped away from her body.

Everyone could spot something that doesn't mesh well with the scenery... more in detail, there's a girl standing immobile, gaze fixed on the ground so her eyes couldn't be seen. She's wearing one of those classic japanese schoolgirl uniforms, but the thing that doesn't mesh is the fact that its front is... soaked in blood. Soaked like the knife that she's holding in one hand.

Of course nobody around her would know the context of such appearance, but if you decide to approach her anyway, she won't attack you. Instead, she'll stare at you with the widest blue eyes imaginable, after which she tries to mutter a "hello" with a shaky, but soft voice. ]

[idolizer]

[ Her head is spinning. What Sayaka learned during her short stay is that she was suddenly tossed in a school where you can use magic of the sorts, other people have been sent here, that this is not really the afterlife, and apparently this knife has become her wand.

She can't feel anymore confused than this.

Fortunately, though, she was allowed to change from her bloody clothes. The first thing she thought to do was to look for her classmates... one person in particular. But the search wasn't fruitful so far. Even so, she'll try to at least get to know the people here. After all, they're in the same boat.

Whether she already met them or not, she's going to wear her best smile and approach people, simply starting off with, ]

Hello. Such an odd day this is, isn't it?

Re: LUNCH BREAK

[splashpuppy]

[As Hajime walks through the lunch room, he suddenly feels... very short. So many people that just tower over him. But he has to sit somewhere]

Is it okay if I sit here?

[idolizer]

[ Before coming here, Sayaka had no idea she could effectively use magic here. Upon touching the statue and finding out her type affinity, she slowly realized that this is more of a reality than she imagined. She can do magic now, but the thing is... being someone who never used it before, this is becoming a very tiresome task full of failing attempts.

Currently, she's trying to turn a pinwheel properly. ]

[idolizer]

[ After wearing herself out with practice, she truly needed a break. Her stomach is not much ready to welcome food, since the memory of having a knife stuck in her is still vivid in her despite everything that happened today, but she needs the energies either way. She may be dead, but as she found out, she's still very much alive and breathing, if not a little physically weaker than normal.

Despite being the social type, having been obliged to be one because of her past career, she decided to sit alone at a table, eyes wandering to watch the people in the dining hall. However, she won't refuse anyone who would like to take her company. She'll welcome them with a polite smile. ]

6th day of 1st term (idk how I forgot to add dates sob)

[idolizer]

[ After everything is said and done today, Sayaka figures it's time to explore the school, partly to look for her classmates and partly out of mere curiosity. Unlike what she did in the dormitories, she won't seek people out- but you can still take the initiative and explore with her! ]

[willbeurprincess]

[ It still has to be a dream. She fell asleep at the train station and it's just a dream. Koharu takes a few steps forward, her purse clutched at her side and looking around nervously. Trying to will herself awake is just leaving her with a headache and she reaches up to rub her temples before looking around again.]

I fell asleep. It's just a dream...A very lucid dream.

[motheringnation]

[She'd gotten a bit lost after looking around, and somehow found the library. She decides to look through it.

If she sees anyone, she'll offer a slight nod.]

...hello.

[motheringnation]

[Ukraine is sitting at a table by herself when she hears a small voice and looks over.]

....ah y..yes of course you can.

[motheringnation]

[Ukraine is looking around.]

.....I don't think we can all be dreaming...

[vytis]

[Lithuania is trying to convince himself of a very similar thing--which is why he's not sure the presence of a woman saying what he's thinking is a good sign or a bad one.

Laima, the puppy Lithuania was walking, cares remarkably less for her owner's troubles and in fact takes advantage of his inattention to run over and sniff Koharu's shoes. Of course, the tug on the leash brings Lithuania back to the world--and even if this is a dream he shouldn't be impolite.]

Ah, Laima, no--I'm sorry, Miss. Laima, sėdėt.

[The puppy at least knows that command, and so despite her excitement she sits down--on top of Koharu's foot. Lithuania sighs.]

[splashpuppy]

[Hajime is having about as much luck trying to move water, even though it used to come to him as easily as breathing]

This is hard.

[willbeurprincess]

Oh...I suppose. It just feels like a dream. I was at the train station... [She tucks her purse to her chest]

[willbeurprincess]

[Koharu looks down to the puppy and she almost wants to pet the puppy but it's not hers and she really shouldn't--Oh. She giggles]

Oh it's alright--You don't know better, do you puppy. [At least something is distracting her from this very strange situation]
