Game

REMINDER: Activity check is closing tonight. Please check in if you haven't already! (If you intend to drop a character, it is preferable you use the drop page, as AC idles are not cleared until Saturday.)

Missions

The Cave: Weird noises and alarming vibrations have been coming from a cave near Trabia Garden. Investigate the cave and put an end to any dangerous creatures inside.

3 SeeDs and cadets total; up to 2 may be cadets. We have one cadet signed up from last week but still need at least one SeeD.

Sign up here!

SeeD field exam: The final test for becoming a SeeD is a live mission! (This won't be held until after the end of the trimester, likely from mid-May; we're just looking for an idea of numbers at this point.)

Only Cadets fifteen and over who have been in Garden for at least four terms and have completed all prerequisites for their specializations are eligible.

SeeDs may sign up to supervise closer to the time; right now signups are only for Cadets.

Sign up here!

Other playables

Open discussion post on how to bring spring to Trabia! This is connected to next week's surprise event...

School

It is week 9 of Year 3, trimester 1! Here are the syllabi for this week. LAN 101 (Foreign Language) is studying Old Centran (Latin equivalent) this trimester.

If you haven't already, please add your character's schedule to the master class schedule for ease of seeing who all's in each class.

World news

This information can be picked up IC by various means. These could include but are not limited to newspapers and magazines (available in Balamb Town, by subscription, or in the library), word of mouth, NPC BBS posts, and a news ticker on the network (which also relays school news).

While Trabia freezes, Centra burns: A bushfire has started on Poccahari Island, newly visible from Winhill and the Cape of Good Hope, and driving hovering or flying monsters onto Centra's main islands.

Protesters picketed Esthar government buildings to protest a proposed "Offworlder Rights Bill"; the proposal was promptly shot down by presidential review committee.
