The University was founded on ordinary, flat ground in the late 1800s in the country of New England. No one knows its original name. The fairy hill came later, around the 1920s. For the unknowing, Elsewhere University--EU or Elsewhere U for short--is a typical school, albeit with a few quirks. Iron washers on strings are given to all the freshmen. Green is noted as bad luck, but it's still the school colors (although the actual shades change frequently). Everyone must go by false names and never, ever say their true names. Ever.

About a third of the campus knows of the Gentry, the Fair Folk, the Good Neighbors, the Lords and Ladies. Call them what you will, call them even by your own culture's name for beings like them, for that is how they may appear to you, but always with reverence. Hailing from a magical world dubbed the Elsewhere, Fae come in all shapes, sizes, and scuttles of life.

A human may be unexpectedly swapped with a Changeling Fae. It happens. The Treaty says no severe harm shall come to or from the Changeling, and that the Taken human may be retrieved at the end of the semester. However, human, Fae, and Other will be caught up in a potentially disastrous Changeling exchange that will lead to an emergency rescue mission in the Elsewhere. Those on both sides of the divide will be tasked with helping one another with wit, bravery, knowledge, diplomacy, and of course, Deals.

Anna Monday Research

[triggerhappytraitor]

As per this thread Tachibana is going to ask around to see when Anna first showed up, and Red is going to check the newspaper archive in the libary to look for any news of a car accident around that time. Results of their sleuthing?

It's not been around long enough to be well-established in EU oral lore. It showed up not long after a car accident that killed Alayne's sister. The exact time is up to the players of the siblings, I'm going to see if I can get them to reply here.

Re: Anna Monday Research

They're not looking for lore. Tachibana is asking for a rough time when Anna showed up (aka, when people remember first seeing her,) and Red is checking newspapers. Exact time is a moot point if the accident was reported in the papers as the cross checking is the only thing they need it for.

The accident was very much reported, as it was Alayne's older sister who died and I assume she'd thus have been in line for the throne or whatever before her. It'd have made international news, too.

I was thinking probably a few years ago for the death, but it's obviously up to you.

A few years was what I was thinking, too - three or four?

Four sounds great!
