Oh. My. Gods. !!!!
This is amazing! Congrats everyone!

[lav]

THANKS!! OK SO IDEAS FOR THE TRAINING PLACES?

[Domitylle (can only update books rn. sorry), Headmistress, Kaylie, Shelia]

Some suggestions (they're not all good 😂):
- Climbing wall (with lava and fire and all)
- Archery range
- Forge
- Canoe kayaking
- DIY workshop (like they could create diverse things such as cosmetics, bags, clothes, etc.)
- Constructions (building of tables, chairs, doors, windows, etc.)

{ more ideas to come when I have some }

[lav]

those are greaatttt now let's hope my brain starts working so I can think of some too

[Domitylle (can only update books rn. sorry), Headmistress, Kaylie, Shelia]

😂 xD

[lav]

- Knitting (I'M SORRY-): basically to make them focus more and make their fingers more nimble. This will especially help people who have powers that use their hands (like my character Lu can make light balls appear in his hand) focus and control their power more.

Theater: To help hone their creativity and help them make stories and act them out in a snap. This can help when they have to makeup an excuse for mortals. (and also, i just really like theater)

Writing Workshop: Do I even need to explain?

We can also have it so that (once we have more teachers) each teacher is assigned 6-7 students who they have sessions with to check up on them.

Wow...... !!!!

[lav]

😅

[Domitylle (can only update books rn. sorry), Headmistress, Kaylie, Shelia]

That's amazing Laavi!

And even if the idea of having a teacher assigned to a group of 6-7 people is great, I don't know if it would really work with the time differences...

[ᏒᏋᎩ [Exam season :( (2 of 5 done)], Staff Member who has no idea what to do]

Yeah. That's true.

[lav]

Hmmm that's true... maybe when we do it we can ask people to add their timezones and kinda match them together??

[ᏒᏋᎩ [Exam season :( (2 of 5 done)], Staff Member who has no idea what to do]

I don't think that would work.

[lav]

yea i see what you mean... so no 6-7 thing?

[ᏒᏋᎩ [Exam season :( (2 of 5 done)], Staff Member who has no idea what to do]

I think that they should be allowed to come whenever they can. No specific time except for the limit of a few day. Then start it again a few days later.

[lav]

That's a great idea!!

[ᏒᏋᎩ [Exam season :( (2 of 5 done)], Staff Member who has no idea what to do]

draft announcement for oncoming plot twists:

(view spoiler)[

Hey everyone!

To make this RP more fun and exciting, your mods (mostly Rey (view spoiler)[Yes, I had to include you specifically (hide spoiler)]) have come up with a few plot twists. Of course, you are free to not participate in them, but the option is there! 

A Villain
(view spoiler)[What if an exiled God(dess) is now trying to get some powers? And what better place to do that than in an Academy specifically for Goddesses and Gods? Honored RPers, we have a villain. 

The idea is, that this villain will be controlling the headmistress, who in turn will be controlling certain students to weaken other students with opposite powers. Then, these students will be put under something like a coma, and their powers will be sucked. 

Their peers, who won't know anything about this, will assume the students have faded, which is the equivalent of death for deities. Naturally, this will cause an uproar. 
 (hide spoiler)]

An Example
(view spoiler)[ To make it easier to understand, here we have an example: 

Lucius (Owned by Laavanya) is a God of Light. Amelia (Owned by Rey) is a Goddess of Darkness. The headmistress puts Lu under her control, and Lu slowly starts filling and countering Amelia's darkness with his light. When she's very weak, she's given to the headmistress. 

The random disappearance after increasing weakness may cause her friend Laavi (Owned by Laavanya) to believe she has faded. The girl will feel intense grief, and intense anger. And then, begins the fun. 
 (hide spoiler)]

Hope you participate!
Happy Late Easter,
Your Mods

[ᏒᏋᎩ [Exam season :( (2 of 5 done)], Staff Member who has no idea what to do]
