[OOC] Witness Protection

[Mitheral]

Yeah, I still need to edit and post my character. Some nerfing to do. I think I am going to use the OP version parents, but nerf them. They just compliment him very well. And they would actually adopt. Plus, they would send him to the private school, where a foster situation really wouldn't.

[cthulu]

Awesome start, going to be posting when I can later on. I've put all 3 of my character sheets up for the time being. Will likely do one for her father and possibly her mother, although they won't be playing much of a part for a while obviously.

[Mitheral]

OMG .. I didn't notice the name Miller. That is the name of Duncan's foster and now adoptive parents. However, he has kept the name Moran. All his school records are under Moran, including his degree work. I actually created this character over a year ago for a post apocalypse RP.

[cthulu]

Haha nice! A funny little coincidence too!

[Mitheral]

Not sure exactly how you want them to meet up. The 2nd line you had in the list was meeting up at school. The way I started us that is about 12 days away, bit less for getting ID's etc ...

[cthulu]

Haha I know, well I'm thinking the guys will pop over to them to 'greet the neighbours' kind of thing.

[Mitheral]

Loving your posts. been struggling last few days because of work. Fatigue. But don't want to let the plot grow stale either. RP's always flow better when everyone keeps a steady pace. Gotta head out shortly to go deliver a load. Live unload. Then a drive across Atlanta to time off. I go home once a year to do taxes. T am taking a few days off. But all the business won't take long. Mostly it will be time off ... as in plenty of time to write.

[cthulu]

Not a problem hun :) drive safe

[Mitheral]

Just noticed I cut off over half my CS for Duncan .... fixed. Also shows his class schedule. Note that I used a college 4 day schedule. ie MW and TTH classes ... with Friday for extracurricular and tutoring. Albuquerque is very college prep with a high teacher to student ratio.

I have some of the teachers I used for Duncan somewhere. Unusual teachers most of them.

[cthulu]

Sounds cool, I'll be honest I have no idea how American school's work haha

[Mitheral]

Oh ... well, colleges normally use a MWF and TTh schedule. High Schools are a M-F schedule. I decided to be a little different and use part of both concepts. Privately funded schools like Albuquerque Academy have some summer reading to do to get ready for English classes. And you have to register a year in advance. (I am assuming Witness Protection got some leeway here.)

Oh one class I added was Equestrian. (No stallions allowed.) But it is second semester course for weather reasons.

[cthulu]

Cool. Any chance I could see the timetable/course lay out so I can get an idea what Isla would be doing?

[Mitheral]

For the teachers? Working on it. I have them on an old site - just pics and schedules. Their bios are elsewhere. LOL, some of them were dating each other ... and the whole school knows it. The keyboard teacher, Helen Arcane, had to show up one day dressed in biker leather after losing a bet another teacher (her fiance). He looks like one of those bad boys every father dreads his daughter bringing home. The bet involved getting the first teacher's best friend to make it through a driver ed test without running over the cones. She had tried once a month for a year to get her license. He actually got her to pass the test - blindfolded. It has been another year and she still doesn't have her license. No examiner would test a student blindfolded.

The guy called his method Zen Driving. Helen still claims her BF cheated. But she honored the bet.

[cthulu]

Cool, though I more meant just the subjects not the teachers, I don't know whats typical for a just turned 16 year old in America to take

[Mitheral]

Doh .. added the teachers as a Google Doc link in the Character's section. And I will add a course listing in a moment. Note: I think the official course list sucks. And the times won't jive with my ideas. So feel free to edit a bit.

Give me about a minute to find the course link for the school ... there is a map on their site as well.

[Mitheral]

Added some links - Course listing, campus map, city map centered on the school, etc ... All added to the Teachers' CS post.

[Mitheral]

Is Isla British? Or American? The MOD part threw me a little.

[cthulu]

She's an ambassador, she's worked in the Uk and its how she relates to things, she is fundamentally British. :P

[Mitheral]

Gonna be awile before I get a reply out. Work stuff. Getting pretty upset with folks here and don't want that to spill over onto my writing.

[Mitheral]

Less aggravated now. Finally got out of there. Receiver took 6.5 hrs to get my trailer unloaded. Typical unload time is up to 2 hours. And I am only allowed to work so many hours. But ... that is in the past. Now I can relax a little. (They still left me a mess by damaging some product and refusing to take it. But I will deal with that tomorrow. Hopefully work will tell me to toss it ... or let me take it to a shelter. It's food. Just the outside box in which the actual product was in was damaged.)
