I've got four exams coming up between the 8th and the 18th inclusive, then a ballroom dance exam on the 19th... Huzzah for university, or college if you're American.

*cough* Just fixing those. We wouldn't want either of those things to get mixed up. =/Pararaptor said:
To clarify, I'm not quite back yet. I'm just checking in to make sure I'm not missing anything majorly important.
And I'm still interested, by the way. It'd take more than a month of exam revision to get me uninterested in a thread made by Oneirius. [/blatant over-the-top praise to hopefully make up for slowing things down so much]
Mine haven't even started. I've got four between the 8th and the 18th, then a dance test on the 19th before work. Ah, the perks of university, or college for the Americans among us.
As a side note, your avatar's creepy.

20 days left, okay? This is going to get moving again in 20 days. I know it's annoying that nothing is happening right now but that's only because you guys started the zeppelin journey too early and ran out of things to do.terribleyetfun said:
I told you to leave it for another week or two but noooooo, we won't do what Revolverwolf says. He has no idea what he's doing. It's not like he managed to play a female character so well that he's managed to convince people he is in fact that gender, or managed to make one of the more successful plotlines in the Twokinds RP without even posting in the RP, or that he's managing to revise for his exams, sort of plan his first RP and lecture Escapists in his little spare time.
It's not like he's been here long enough to know how these things work. Two years? Nah, it's not that long.
Count the days if you must! On Monday the 28th my exams are over and done with and I can start making posts again! And then you can all start stressing over which of you I unleash my exam-induced hatred upon in the form of a murderous Lamia.
If you really need stuff to do, make an NPC or twelve and start forming friendship groups. Have one of the teachers on the zeppelin address the stuff that has been happening in an assembly. Just don't complain about there being nothing to do because it then forces me to make a reply like this where I tell you that you should only be blaming yourselves, then I have a go at you about not trusting in my intent to return ASAP and then I segue into this bit where I give you ideas for what to do.
Seriously. Make friends with people? Gossip about the school? Gossip about people? There has to be something that interests you people.
okay, no need to go insane, I`l start trying to make random filler or something....arise my npc minions, arise!
The shuffling of several footsteps could be heard approaching the dining area, the noise soon being joined by the soft sounds of conversation soon several people, all of them teenagers who Jeffery assumed to be the other students, walked into the dining area, some of them were inhuman or something close but the majority of them were, they each stepped into a different booth all of them forming into their own social groups, Jeffery looked up in slight confusion as he saw this sight unfold.
"where the hell were these people?" Jeffery said to himself before noticing that a group of three students, each of them dressed in what could best be described as 'goth' started making their way over to his booth.
"I swear to god if they try to sit with me I`m gonna-" but Jeff's thought was interrupted by the sounds of the seats pressing down as the group of students he saw approaching sat down in the same booth deciding to keep their distance around the edges, Jeffery looked up from his dinner to address them quickly.
"so mind if I ask, what the hell do you guys think your doing?" Jeffery asked a slight hint of irritation in his voice.
"just sitting here, there`s no where else worth sitting, everyone else looks like posers and losers and you seemed somewhat dark so we`d thought we`d sit with you" One of them replied a boy wearing a black T-shirt with blue jeans, his straight shoulder length black hair making him seem older than he was.
"yeah they actually don`t look that cool so I guess I`l let it slide but mind if I ask a question?"
"ask away"
"where the hell were all of you during the demon attack, I mean you don`t exactly sleep through that"
"well what do you do when you hear screams, slashing and the sounds of incantations, run outside, yeah some of us have more of a survival instinct than that, still it`s good the teachers handled it"
"teachers?, I have`nt seen a teacher the entire time I`ve been on this ship, me and some other people stopped that thing"
The boy's eyes turned wide for a second before immediately switching to a disbelieving stare "bullshit, no way a student could pull off a banishment ritual"
"you`d be surprised" Jeffery said smirking. "oh and hold on I`ve got some people who would love to meet all of you" Jeffery said pulling out his spellbook and flicking to the page containing a mental projection spell "porvarum cortanus" transmitting a message to the minds of the others.
"hey guys you all need to get to the dining area right now, you will not believe what is here" Jeffery communicated before returning to his dinner.
Yeh, uh, sorry about that Terry. I do tend to go a little over-the-top with my complaints, especially when I haven't written much in a long time. [sub]Plus this f'ing stats revision could drive anyone up the wall.[/sub]
sorry for barging in, but did this really die? It was looking so good too...
Or did the zep start too early and now we're out of ideas?

Well it's the 28th and my exams are over, done, finished, so I can start RPing again. Provided that everyone is still in the mood to RP of course.
Oh, yeh, sorry for that double post. It annoys me as much as it annoys you.

I`ve been waiting and I`m ready so let me know when you wanna startrevolverwolf said:
EDIT: just PM'ed everyone who recently signed up.
alright fine I`l wait for you to get the ball rolling because you seem so eager to get started.revolverwolf said:
Well, I can't really start anything with you guys on the zeppelin which is kinda crap since I'm rather looking forward to being able to kill a few of your characters, but I can get Lilli and Nath back into stride. The sooner me and Quad finish this and CA and J1 finish their shared dream type thing we should be able to get all of our guys to wake up and go see the zeppelin landing somewhere in the school's huge grounds.
But anyway, Lilli's stupidity and indecisiveness know no bounds.

Lillith cursed inwardly at her own stupidity. Why had she said and done all of those things back at the party? "Am I going to be your first?" There was no doubt in her mind that she would have sounded like the sluttiest and least subtle girl in the entire school. She must have looked it as well. Showing up already half-wrapped around him, flirting the entire way through with him, pretty much raping him in the middle of the party and all of that was when she didn't even know what she was feeling about him. She turned red at the realisation, putting her head down and hoping Nathan didn't see. She would have closed her eyes and tried to imagine today, or maybe even the last month, gone from reality but she had no eyelids to close them with.
There was always the chance she had been feeding off the emotions without thinking about it... All the happy people meant that even without drinking a drop of alcohol she could have been getting drunk and drifting off slowly into a haze of blissful idiocy. Now that she had been away from the party for a decent amount of time, and was thinking clearly, she was seeing what an awful idea this truly was. It made sense but, like everything Lillith did, it didn't make any sense at the same time... Drunk on happiness? Maybe she was just rationalising and really she had just been made a victim of her own species? Either way, she knew that she shouldn't have gone...
Oh God, I'm being so stupid, I should just try to be normal for a bit. If he still likes me, it's okay, and if he doesn't, then it'll still be okay. I can figure things out tomorrow. I just have to last a night without doing anything I'll regret...
Who am I kidding? That's the same thing I said earlier and I did a bunch of stupid stuff after that...
"What's in the bag?" She forced herself to ask the question so that she didn't just stay quiet and in her own mind.
I predict, nay expect, that Lillith will have done something stupid and potentially lethal before the IC night is through via a mix of instinct, alcohol and an unnaturally absent common sense.
And yeh, I haven't written extended pieces of writing for a while, so that's why it's a bit... meh.

Jeffery sat in silence still silently devouring his dinner the newly discovered classmates making conversation around him. He wondered about each of them, usual paranoid stuff like whether or not they could be trusted or something like that, but his thoughts were soon interrupted.
"so what do you think is gonna happen at this school" One of the students sitting around Jeffery asked him, a girl possibly 16 Jeffery was unsure she had blonde hair and blue eyes and was dressed in what looked like a pair of black jeans and a black concert T-shirt with the details of some band's long ago tour, Jeffery slowly looked up from his now half-eaten dinner to respond.
"well I would have no idea, but if it`s anything like what I`ve encountered so far, then I`m going to be re-reading every single protection spell that I know...actually make that any spell I know" Jeffery replied not a hint of sarcasm in his voice, quickly returning to his dinner and denying any and all attempts at conversation.
"ha-ha yeah I know what you mean..." she quickly noticed Jeffery was back to eating his dinner and looked like he was completely ignoring her "hello...you in there?....weirdo" the girl said frustrated before returning to talk with her friends.
Jeffery finished his dinner and taking his suitcase with him rose up from his seat to find his room, so he could get some sleep, he always found it a little frustrating that how now that he was in a living body that he needed sleep it was one of the many things he was going to enjoy being rid of when he managed to unbind himself from his mortal form "well if they all hid in their dorms that means there are rooms on this thing where I`m not going to be disturbed and I`m gonna go find one for me to sleep in...I really hate sleep".
