msu activities

hello lovely!

hi everyone! as our second event ends tomorrow, you can all now start submitting your event points. with the event ending, this means you can no longer put out any starters relating to the event itself after november 7th at 11:59pm EST. however, everyone is still free to keep replying to the event threads if you wish to do so! reminder that the points awarded are 1 for each thread, with the addition of 1 bonus point if the thread is with a character your character had not interacted with prior to the event. there are also additional bonus points for the challenges added to the events. these special challenges each award you two points, meaning the use of the potion is +2 points, and the use of the quote is also +2 points. the potion and quote can be claimed for the same thread! only the user of the quote/potion gets the points, not the second person in the thread.

as we award these event points to promote interaction between characters, we ask that the thread has been replied to for the full amount of points to be rewarded, but if you wrote a starter and received no reply, you can still count it as 0.5 points.

we ask that all points are submitted by friday november 13th, 11:59PM EST. this gives everyone a week to get their points in! all event points should be submitted to the events blog HERE. please title your submission with what house you’re representing and how many points you’re submitting total. for points to be valid, we ask that you provide a link to the threads you’re claiming the points for. when claiming points for the quote, please make sure the reply/starter you link is the one containing the quote, to make it easier for us to see whether it’s been used or not. an example for how you can submit your points will be found under the cut, where you will also find a list of who’s submitted their points already! additionally, if there are any questions about how to submit your points, please redirect these to the event blog as well, so we can keep everything event-related in the same place.

— ACTIVITIES

apple bobbing are you ready to snatch up something delicious… with your teeth? look no further and come bobbing for apples! the apples are dipped into a large basin with water, floating at the surface as they wait to be caught. but the rumor around campus is that the apples are charmed, and if you unpeel it and throw the peel into the water again it’ll make a shape and reveal the first letter of your soulmate’s name…

mirror maze the great hall’s been transformed into a house of mirrors. tall mirrors, wide mirrors, distorted mirrors, and, uh, charmed mirrors? yes, if being stuck in a maze on the ground wasn’t bad enough, students are also able to walk up against the walls and ceiling mirrors due to a sticky charm! will you be able to escape this puzzle without clues? if not, just ask our sir hendrick the brave for one! if you can catch him…

haunted house were you hoping for a workout this hallow’s eve? too bad! the school’s gym has for one day been transformed into a haunted house, engulfed in a darkness so deep you can barely make out your own silhouette. the haunted house has been filled with restless spirits, and if you’re lucky, you might run into a few familiar faces!

pumpkin carving it wouldn't be a halloween party without pumpkins! come join us for a leisurely time in our pumpkin patch where you can make jack o'lanterns to take back with you to your dorms! whether you decide to carve or paint their faces is completely up to you! want to give them a personality too? charm them to speak after you're finished! they'll make a fun companion to carry around or even to decorate the campus with. just don't throw any or caretaker smith is going to have a fit!

carriage ride want a little romantic, but spooky getaway from the rest of the campus? come take a ride on our enchanted carriages! well, enchanted for those who can't see them anyway. these carriages are pulled by threstals that are provided by our very own groundskeeper lee. this carriage ride will take you all around mokseong university from the castle grounds to past the pool of the universe and back. with the carriages charmed to make the ride seem like the dead of night,  the fog and chilling sound effects just brings more of the spooky... so if you're riding with a friend, huddle up close because its going to be a bumpy ride!

movie night parties not quite your thing? not to worry, if you prefer a quieter night, the castle grounds will have an outside movie theatre, that will be showing off various muggle horror movies throughout the night. all students are free to bring blankets and snacks, and settle in for a horrific night!

costume party to end off the evening, get your costumes ready and head on down to the dungeons for a raging costume party! a rarity here at mokseong, this party is unsupervised, but prefects and head students are ordered to keep an eye on the students. alcohol will not be served by the school, but students are free to bring any if they so desire. come on down and have some fun, and while professor aurora says no funny business, remember that what she doesn’t know, won’t hurt her!

— SPECIAL TASKS

trick or treat it's not halloween without a little treat! come to the dungeons to grab a mysterious party favor before all the fun begins! nobody knows what are in these suspicious little vials (aside from professor jung of course), but be warned that they are only to be used at the event and nowhere else! any misuse of these potions will automatically earn deductions off their house points! but other than that, have fun! how to participate: members ask a # from 1 to 10 in the msuevents inbox. remember to specify what you’re sending a number for! admins/mod will send back the corresponding potion that matches the number. the potion can either be a hit or a miss which is part of the fun! it is recommended that these potions are used in-event only and have been previously plotted before introduced in threads (so there won’t be any godmodding/awkwardness). the effects of the potions last for one (1) hour in msu time meaning they can only be referenced once in one (1) thread to obtain two (2) additional points so use it wisely!

double, double, toil and trouble ever wanted to utter a ridiculous movie phrase without judgment? now you can! or, well — there may be some judgment, but it’s ok. in this task for an extra two (2) points, you have to pick a number between 1 and 20 and we’ll send you a quote from a famous movie, which your character will have to say in one of your event threads — without letting your writing partner know about it! are you up for the challenge? how to participate: members ask a # from 1 to 20 in the msuevents inbox. remember to specify what you’re sending a number for! admins/mod will send back the corresponding quote that matches the number. you can use this quote in any event thread you want to, but please don’t tell your thread partner about it! we’d love to see some hilarity ensue because of this. the quote can only be used once in one (1) thread to obtain two (2) additional points.

— MOKSEONG UNIVERSITY OF WITCHCRAFT AND WIZARDRY meme #2: honesty hour

ask my muse anything, nothing is off limits and they have to answer with complete honesty!

hi there! the bonus points do not applied to unanswered starters, no. our goal with the event was to promote interaction between characters, and especially characters that maybe usually don’t interact as much, hence why the bonus points were added. this is also why we ask that starters have been replied to at least once for the thread to be eligible for the full amount of points!
