Cancer Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Actually, I was friends with the Registrar for a while. He was pretty sharp and quick. Approximately all his staff was the opposite. He didn't stick around long enough to make much progress on replacing them. Old Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 Dr Destroyer is on record saying it is the fault of those using and promoting magic on the university as his department could have caused a death but not what came after. You see there is a ghost or spirit if you will that is obsessed with explosives and they are quite mad. Any mention of explosives or any phrases such as 'this will go like a bang' will invoke the spirit. Several near exorcisms have so far failed. https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Crazy_Harry This second clip is typical of its behaviour DShomshak and Cancer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShomshak Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Option: Board of Regents trustee Hermes Trismegistus Legendary founder of Hermetic mysticism. Possibly and Egyptian wizard, possibly a syncretism of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth. Mythical either way, but also the author of The Emerald Tablet, the foundational text of Hermetic magic. He recently wrote a lighter guide for interested laypeople, The Emerald Tablet for Dummies.

DShomshak Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Option Pick: The Dean's House Design is the "House for a Cosmopolite" (1783) by Antoine Vaudoyer. It seemed appropriate. Google it, and you can find sections and at least partial floor plans. The Paolini Institute itself occupies a larger building of a different style.

death tribble Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 For a faculty focused on destruction it is odd to have something that is pioneering and apt to be taken as a triumph. But with Destroyer around it could be used for destruction. It is a rocket. A full size rocket. Not a Saturn 5. But a rocket big enough to carry astronauts into orbit and onto another planet or planet sized object. It is painted in a red and white checked pattern for most of the body. And it has a gantry. How on earth the university got it is open to question but the Truman complex has mission control capability. It marks the university out and allows navigation as i 'When you see the rocket, you turn left' Or right as the case may be. It has something to do with Quatermass that is for certain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destination_Moon_(comics) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 "You okay, Walter?" The blond sophomore spoke in that strange way of his, "Those Barbarians behavior against you, a mere freshmen, was most unrighteous" "Oh I'm fine, guys, thanks to Aang stepping up. Thanks for getting him to help out," Walter found the two strange but nice. And no denying they were nearly inseparable "Oh, and thanks for getting him before I got all spindled and folded." The young freshman pressed his glasses back up against the bridge of his nose. "Excellent," The brunette sophomore grinned, "You are most welcome. One thing we learned in our own adventures was that you should never be too proud to ask for a little help." "Totally," the blond nodded in agreement with his friend, "It helped us with a school project before we came here." "Oh yeah," Walter tried to remember "You guys are from the order of Saint Dimas or something like that?" The two older guys exchanged a look with each other, then shrugged, and turned to Walter and said "Close enough." Walter rolled with it, the two seemed oddly innocent, a bit off, but also worldly at the same time. They were wanna be musicians, but spoke of philosophers, leaders and legends as if they hobnobbed with them every day. Then again, at Magus University, maybe they did? Also they were part of some great prophecy as chosen ones, even if they didn't look the type. "Got any advice to Amicitia-Mancy courses? " Walter asked, hoping he wouldn't bore these two but they did have like, gosh, a whole year on them. "Oh Walter, do not confuse our 365 days of extraneous knowledge and experience with expertise," the brunette said. "Yes," The other agreed, "We are, after all, Sophomores again. Which, as a friend once told us, means 'Wise Fool'" The Brunnette nodded, "We take turns." "Uh..yeah," Walter said "But I hear you're actually acing the classes ah, when you remember to show up. Got any advice?" "Oh, dude, " The blond said "We mostly follow two rules. It's not a secret." "yeah?" Walter inquired. Ted "Theodore" Logan put his hand over his heart respectfully, "Be Excellent to each other..." Bill S. Preston, Esquire mimiced the gesture, then grinned "And Party On, Dudes!" And the two jumped in the air, high fived, then came down making strange fingering motions Walter didn't understand. There must have been power in whatever spell it was though, because there was no denying the friendship of the two sophomores who called themselves WYLD STALLYNS! Option Five: Bill S. Preston, Esquire (Sophomore) Option Six: Ted "Theodore" Logan (Sophomore) Enforcer84, Logan D. Hurricanes and Old Man 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csyphrett Posted March 17, 2023 Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 I think I need two picks for my draft.

Logan D. Hurricanes Posted March 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2023 Due to personal circumstances, updates may be late today. Or even tomorrow. Also, all selections are open now. The timed part of the draft is done, so everyone can feel free to fill in their rosters at this point. I'm still disappointed nobody draft Sigried & Roy.
