Thank you for joining us here in picturesque Glen Macalie, on the shore of Loch Leven in the Grampian Mountains of Scotland. We welcome you to the campus of the Glen Macalie School for Girls and hope that you will enjoy your stay.
This week will largely be unstructured; you are welcome to investigate the castle (which dates back to 1237 CE) and the nearby village of Glen Macalie. Some resources which will be available to you include:
In the castle:
Comprehensive Library
Modern Kitchens
State of the art Training/Exercise Room
Extensively landscaped grounds and gardens
Horseback Riding
Fishing
Hiking
In the village:
Shopping
Pubs and restaurants
Museum
Historical buildings
Golf
We ask only that you take care to observe the following rules:
1) Please do not leave campus near or after dark.
2) Venturing too far outside after dark, even on campus, is not guaranteed to be safe. You do so at your own risk.
3) There will be occasional evening events. Participation in these events should be considered of minor risk; however, anyone taking part should endeavor to follow all directions to ensure his or her safety.
If you have any questions, please feel free to see Mr. Giles or Ms. Summers.
Night Expedition
Date: 2013-01-24 03:05 am (UTC)"Buffy Summers will be leading a night expedition out onto the far part of the campus. If anyone is interested in coming along to find out just exactly what it is that goes bump in the night out there, please assemble in the Grand Entrance Hall at sunset."
Re: Night Expedition
Date: 2013-01-24 06:29 am (UTC)"But B, why do you wanna go so badly? Why can't we just stay here and have awesome sex?" She asked as they walked out of their room.
She has her reasons for not wanting to go parading out onto the far part of the campus. She would deny it if anyone ever asked, but she secretly terrified of vampires. Not even Brittany knew.
But she has never been able to say no to her girlfriend, so if this is something that she really wanted to do, she would suck it up and try to not show how completely terrified she thinks might be out on the far parts of the castle.

Re: Arriving in the Great Hall
Date: 2013-01-26 12:15 am (UTC)Let's get the ground rules out of the way before we go anywhere.
First: This is dangerous. This isn't a joke, and if you mess around out there, you can get killed.
Second: Don't wander off. Stay within arm's reach of me or one of the girls at all times.
Third: *holds up a handful of amulets on neck chains* Wear these. Our magic department developed them. They have repellent properties.
*offers an amulet to each person*
Any questions so far?
~Buffy
Re: Arriving in the Great Hall
Date: 2013-01-26 12:18 am (UTC)Um, weapons?
~ Janet
Re: Arriving in the Great Hall
Date: 2013-01-26 12:23 am (UTC)Don't worry; we're armed enough to handle anything that comes at us. Short of a demon Mayor, we've got it handled.
*grins*

If everyone could please group up, we're going to get this show on the road.
~Buffy
Re: Arriving in the Great Hall
Date: 2013-01-26 05:37 am (UTC)These are really pretty. Can we keep them?
~Brittany
Re: Arriving in the Great Hall
Date: 2013-01-26 05:45 am (UTC)If you want to. They'll help keep you safe when you're away from here. That's not license to go jaywalking in heavy traffic or cutting through alleys in the middle of the night, but it'll do some good if you're taking reasonable precautions otherwise.
*pushes the door open, holds it for everyone*
Remember, please stay together.
*points off the cobblestone walk, out past the gardens* We'll be going that way.
~Buffy
Re: Arriving in the Great Hall
Date: 2013-01-26 05:57 am (UTC)So what creatures do you think we can expect to see?
If we run into any trouble, I could probably help with this. *pulls out her wand*
~Luna
Re: Arriving in the Great Hall
Date: 2013-01-26 05:59 am (UTC)The purpose of tonight's expedition is not for any of you to be involved in anything. You are here as spectators only. If you can't abide by that, you need to stay here.

we're absolutely safe.
~Brittany
Re: Arriving in the Great Hall
Date: 2013-01-26 05:45 am (UTC)*though it probably looked to her like no one had much in the way of weapons, since most of them were just carrying stakes, she still hadn't parted with the knife on her belt either though*

Date: 2013-01-26 07:48 am (UTC)"I'm sorry I'm a bit late... I only just heard about this little jaunt and to be honest, I've been going out of my mind without something to do. Well... aside from the magic lessons..."
*there is a less than serious note to his voice, his demeanour is one who is more curious. He looks briefly at the stakes.... then shrugs - indifferent*

Re: Arriving in the Great Hall
Date: 2013-01-28 08:44 pm (UTC)Just stay with the others and don't get involved. You're here as a spectator.
~Buffy
Re: Night Expedition
Date: 2013-01-28 08:46 pm (UTC)Okay. I want all of you to stay here. Girls, take your defensive positions.
*waits while the girls take up places in a loose circle around the spectators*
*gives a slight smile*
Here goes nothing.
~Buffy
((I'm so sorry for the delay on this scenario, guys. This weekend was crazy for me.))
