Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's some events.. so call me MAYbe.

There is no Maypole for May. Sorry everyone. Instead, you get a post about events! That'll make up for it right? Right. Right. Either way, it's a pretty relaxed month since we know a lot of you students have finals!

May 9th: End of Student Council Campaigns
May 9th-12th: Student Council Election Poll
May 12th: New Student Council Announced
May 21st: Interaction Log + GLITCH TEST #1: A Literally Small Glitch
May 29th-June 2nd: GLITCH TEST#2: Waking Up is Hard to Do
May 30st-June 6th: Activity Check

Student Council Campaigns/Elections

As detailed last month, your characters are free to campaign and try to win hearts in order to get themselves elected to the student council. Student council members receive the benefit of being safe from shadows during active student council meetings and also getting to plan some events! If you would like to sign your character up to run you may do so at any point until 7pm EST (4pm PST) on May 9th, the end of the campaign period. To sign your character up, click here! After 7pm, an IC poll will be put up for you to vote as your character. You will need to make absolutely sure you are logged in on your character's journal, as each character gets one vote. Do not vote for who you want to win, but rather who your character would want to win. (Otherwise all the campaigning would go to waste!) The new student council will be announced at the end of the poll on May 12th.

Interaction Log + A Literally Small Glitch

As usual, the monthly interaction log will be making an appearance this month on May 21st. However, during this log, there will be a small glitch. A very literally small glitch. As in for one of the days, all characters will find themselves shrunken down to the size of a tiny pebble. This is a one-day-only glitch but it's on the interaction log, so you can feel free to get to it as you will!

This is, without a doubt, a glitch. The only difference is how that glitch came about, of course. The short duration is suspicious, for one thing, and it is caused by something other than natural data corruption. Particularly since Ai should be preventing glitches, but since it's problematic for her to leave the safe area created in the housing zone she isn't able to prevent them.

Glitch Test #2: Waking Up is Hard to Do

If you thought that tiny glitch the week before was a pest, well.. let's hope you're not having any suspicious dreams that cause sleepwalking or talking in your sleep or other suspicious sleep activities.. Waking up is hard enough to do normally, but when you wake up in a strange place due to a glitch? Yeah, things can get a little weird. For the duration of this glitch, any time a character goes to sleep, they will end up getting teleported to a different spot in the afterlife. This can be literally anywhere (with permission if its in the personal space of another character, of course). On the floor in the bathroom? Sure. On the rooftop? Yep. On a library bookshelf with all the books knocked over? That's possible too. It's up to you.

The catch? This glitch works to draw people out of the safe housing zone without them being aware. You'd better be careful, or you'll end up getting taken by the shadows that are still about! And they are still about. So this event can be used for goofy fun times or it can be used to draw your character into a difficult situation with the shadows when they otherwise wouldn't bother leaving the safe zone. The event will last from March 29th until June 2nd and will be ended by an NPC post that reveals exactly what's behind these recent glitches.

Activity Check

Yep, I know, pain in the butt but it's that time again! Make sure you have 20 comments from each of your characters any time between the end of the last AC (April 6th) and the end of this one (June 6th).

That's it for May and as always, let a mod know if you have any questions!
