What: SCHOOL HAS BEGUN
When: All through September
Where: School bus stops, School bus, and Lofty Heights
Content Warnings: n/a

Some Top-Level Ideas:

• Faculty Preparations & Mingle (Before September 8th)
  The faculty of Lofty Heights has a lot to do before the school year actually starts — prepping their classrooms, working out a curriculum, getting to know each other, getting the office to order the right supplies.



• The Wormhole Projectors on the Bus Go Pew Pew Pew
  The bus stops for Lofty Heights students are peppered throughout each of the cities. Parents and students alike are waiting there to be picked up.
  
  Once you're on the road, things seem normal... until a womrhole opens up. The bus goes right through it, and suddenly all you can see out the window is clouds below... and the massive floating school complex on the horizon.



• In-School Interaction
  Are you lost on your way to your next class? Having trouble getting your locker open? See a friend and want to chat? Or maybe there's a pack of Seniors on the pros wl for new students, looking to do a little bullying hazing.
  
  Or maybe you're already in the classroom, trying to wrangle your rowdy students — or, perhaps, you're a student trying to make sense of the current lesson.
  
  When lunch time rolls around, do you sit alone? Or do you spot a friend or acquaintance and sit with them?
  
  Anything that would make sense in the context of the school :D

Why not? I'm the mother of a horse and the father of a wolf. A skeleton could very well be your actual parent.

[Also they all just finished multiverse hopping??? There's plenty of weird stuff going on.]

Anyways, I was clearly describing my personal circumstances, not that I actually think you'll follow suit.

[demigoth]

You're a god. That's different, and you know it.

[ Nico appreciates that Serrure is trying to help, but sometimes gods are a little godly about everything. While it's probably possible that Hades could've assumed the form of...

No, he is not going to consider that. ]

Why wouldn't I follow suit if it works? If you already had a good idea, I'm not going to waste time trying to think up something better. What I need is someone tolerable but apathetic and lazy, who doesn't cover their eyes at horror movies.

[thecoolerloki]

And you're the child of a god. The same logic applies.

[She doesn't get the issue here???]

Mine wasn't a good idea, it was something I fell into. My idea was to live on my own and construct a fake guardian, but I had protests not from those in power, but from those close to me. You can avoid such things and continue down the fake guardian path.

Greek demigods -

[ Nico falters and corrects himself. ]

Modern Greek demigods don't seem to have stories about how their godly parents took the form of a swan. If any of the other kids know about that, they're not saying anything. I try to avoid thinking too hard about it, or about where Athena's thought-babies come from.

[ Or Serrure's horse and wolf. He really doesn't want to accidentally picture anything. ]

If it wasn't a good idea... are you okay?

[ Not a good idea, something I fell into, avoid such things. Even gods get themselves in a pickle. ]

[thecoolerloki]

I ask again why that matters. The people here don't know the exacts of your pantheon. This is such an easy lie to pull off, so what's keeping you from doing so?

[She shrugs]

I'm perfectly fine. While I'd rather no cage at all, I can work within this one.

[demigoth]

Because I’ve never had to pull off a lie like this before. I don’t know how to do it.

[ Why couldn’t she stop poking at it so he didn’t have to admit that he can’t do it? ]

Nobody’s ever asked who was taking care of me before. I got to do what I wanted.

[thecoolerloki]

It's simple. You say your father has arrived in this realm and is taking care of you. You forge some signatures. Perhaps they ask to arrange a meeting, but that can be dealt with later.

The literal Goddess of Lies is assuring you that this will work.
