Elsewhere University Week 1 Summary/Week 2 Plotting
The school year has begun at Elsewhere University, and much is happening. Miss Shelly the librarian is here to keep things nice and orderly in the library, while Fennel the IT Guy is making sure that some notices get posted, while Foxglove tends the grounds. Trey is here to answer all your questions - for free, even. For those that are keen on extracurricular activities, The Teacher has some good suggestions for clubs to join. Well, one club. His club. Perhaps The Sorority Leader’s offerings are more interesting, if you care to visit her where she holds court. But many folk are just trying to get by and get their head around it all. Taurina is helping out the newbies, as the RA ought to do. Argentum is taking her bodyguarding job very seriously, and working hard to blend in to the oddness. Alayne is just trying to get by, despite the rumors about her enrollment. But it cannot be denied that things are very odd, on the whole. Dream-Eater’s portable shop of wonders is not your usual campus sales outlet… and what is up with Anna Monday, who just seems to be floating there?
Rowan upholds her own floral theme. Professor Rhodium tries out this year's new name and chills with crows, and Nye is ever so helpful. Professor Antinous is well-dressed and ready to greet his new students. Miss Reed has snacks galore, if you'd care to strike a deal. And if you need books, The Bookseller can help you... for a price.
Feste is angling for a particular role on stage; Casper is looking closer and making deals with him that might be risky. Gale is just otherworldly enough to almost fit right in. There are also some werewolves on campus, and a vampire, to add some variety to the supernatural spookiness. Also, there is definitely something up with Eagle One, given his dorm decorating choices. Meanwhile, on the opposite end of things, Bismuth and Rose Quartz get to try out being human.
Lyall soon realizes that Liminal Space is having lockdown issues. Gil does not like any of this one little bit, and he has taken some time to tell everyone on the network about the Fae he has managed to identify.
Next Week: Involved staff will find out that their royal guest has failed to keep regular contact with home due to being replaced by a Changeling. This could attract unwanted attention from the authorities. A Treaty-sanctioned and staff-approved emergency rescue mission will be mounted by the RA into the Elsewhere. The rescue is expected to last the rest of the Jaunt. If the first area filled with guard plants is solved in time, week 3 will proceed to Anna Monday’s glass-filled domain. Please sign your character up over here. Characters will be RNG'd and results posted on September 29, two days after the week 2 mingle goes up, to determine who will fail to remain with the rescuers and at which week they are separated. Players may also choose to pull out their characters early at any time.
Because the rescue party will need all the info, food, etc. they can get, much of the action will be in the form of help from those not in the party. Investigators may liken this rescue mission to Dungeon diving, but with outside help. Non-Fae helpers trying to stick with the RA and their official rescue party will encounter more Elsewhere dangers because they are not officially permitted by the Treaty to be around them. These dangers will follow them to the rescue party, thus the unofficial helpers will be motivated to draw these dangers away.
If you're planning any Deep Plot or Meaplot Poking this jaunt, don't forget to drop us a line about it here.

He's not really nose at all, but somehow all this shit just keeps on happeneing to him so feel free to pile it all up. His sense of duty's going to land him in the thick of it at least three times this jaunt. Jim'll be proud of his overlay!
Clayr will be helping out The Teacher with his lessons, providing what they call 'Fae legal counsel' and tips and tricks. She'll also be using this time to Recruit quick-witted students.
Anyone up for becoming one of her Taken?
(Her taken become linked to her, and are able to call on her power while still being in the mortal realm. The longer they are linked, the more like minded they become to herself and more malleable to her will, though she doesn't tend to impose herself on them. It's more of a status thing for her. Orion is one of her taken.)
