PARADE FLOAT CHECK IN #1

Parade Float Check Ins

Each day that ticks by is another day closer to to the big Homecoming Parade! Students plan and build throughout the week in their free time, assembling impressive flying floats for the parade before the big dance.

All floats are stored in the back of the Artificing Workshop to protect them from any inclement weather. Dr. Ranui does most of the supervising, but the rest of the Heads of House know how he can be. And they occasionally swing by to check on progress and make sure nothing's breaking the rules.

Today, it's Mr. Berzelius peeking in on what students have planned. Why don't you tell us a little bit about what he finds?

How This Works

• Just one member from each team needs to respond to the "RESPONSE" header with a description of the current state of their float
  • Completely empty floating base is totally acceptable
• You will get a bonus to your overall score for checking in. For each additional team member who checks in and describes how they're contributing, you'll get additional points to your final roll, averaged out based on how many team members you have.


• You have until Sunday, 10/13 at 11:59PM PST to check in for credit.


• If you haven't signed up for a float and would like to participate, there are floats that are open to members. We will also allow players to submit additional floats through this weekend. You just need 4 player characters to qualify as a team!

Of course one costume trunk isn't enough, but don't worry. A second one's coming with Chanel. She floats hers dangerously close to beaning someone in the back of the head, but mercifully does not actually. She rests it on the ground gently, and then sits on it, to guard her secrets. The rapid-grow plant gets eyed in some suspicion, but it retreats, and that's good enough. "And have a starring role." She casts it a fond look, to get on its good side. Just in case.

Eddy, who struggles enough with talking to humans, has nothing to add for the plant. He offers it an uncomfortable look that maybe possibly passes as encouraging. He'll find his way under the float eventually to fiddle with the more magimechanical nuts and bolts of this process, but for now he's resigned to an extensive wardrobe session with the twins.
