Oh goodie! I love making new friends:)

Does anybody care about Ohno acting concerned and Erika being a jerk, or should I continue to not waste everyone's time with such things?

We care.

Write, monkey.

Yep, it's good to see this stuff fleshed out.

Sorry, umm what? I haven't read the post yet, but did you say mern would recognise Iriumi out of her disguise?

EDIT: huh, nevermind!

So, your resident drunk posted four days ago. Should the Autekka be writing some introductions, or should Arhra be making a post moving us along, or have I misjudged this as a lack of direction when it's actually that you're all busy?

To kick things back into action, I've decided to revise my initial plans to have an uneventful first day.

Instead, Time Godzilla!

It allows me to advance several plot points, mwahahaha! Like getting people who would like to get introduced properly introduced to one another.

Basically, yeah, time seems to be standing still. Now, only people with a fair amount of magic would be unaffected and even then the field will eventually freeze them as well. People with weaker magic first, of course.

I'd like two to four other non player class members to be unaffected. Keep in mind that they will turn out to have a magical ability, although almost certainly not a range of magic like a full mage.

The unaffected class members are also for the benefit of people wanting to keep their identities concealed - you can sneak out after the main groups leave.

There will be miraculous cases of amnesia too, so your excuses can be flimsy. This amnesia isn't ordinary however.

Yay, it still lives!

I've decided use Mia to fill one of the non-player spots, because she has a thing for the occult. Seemed fitting.

Though, since I'm expecting to have her turn into a monster of the week because of that call, I suppose it might not be the best move on my part. Oh well.

Also, yeah, Alex is moving pretty slowly. Not hard to stop or beat out the door.

Apologies, it's nearing my finals week, and I've had my lab unknowns practical today. ;-;

Been trying to rekick it for a few weeks now, and we finally formulated the idea to do so last night or so.

Addit: The only quasi-magical NPC I had planned isn't at our school right now, so I won't have either of Akari's friends immune to it.
Doubltaddit: I just noticed Alex gets a double extra whack of surrealness since my last post reveals to him that Mitsuko and Akari are sisters. (If he didn't already somehow figure this out, because I forgot.)

Alex...guessed something. He didn't really think they were sisters, he probably didn't really think too much about it. They just lived in the same house apparently, so they were probably related or maybe more then friends.

Arhra and your last post sealed and clarified it though. I'm almost sorry about that, the wild speculation of why they seemed close in that night battle, and why they were together in a phantom zone would have been fun.
