Winter break is upon us, as is the Winter Solstice Ball.

It’s mid December and we all know what that means, the winter semester is coming to a close. We hope you’ve all been studying hard for your final exams because the semester will end this Friday. Just like the past semesters, students are welcome to stay on campus for the holiday break if they do not have the means or the will to go home, but are encouraged to make plans as the break between fall and spring semester is long in comparison to others. Spring semester will start up again on January 6th, but in the meantime, after your last final is taken, all students are free from academic obligations!

And before everyone leaves for their respective cities, kingdoms and countries for the break, the King will be hosting a Winter Solstice Ball at the royal castle. The Ball will begin at 7pm sharp on Saturday night, and all in Auradon City are welcome to attend. Food and drink will be served throughout the night. We are excited to see you there.

EVENT INFORMATION

The ball is not mediatory for every character, but it is encouraged to have your character attend. Anyone who will be in Auradon City the night of the ball will be welcomed through the doors, so if your character is in town, they will not need an invitation to attend. Just an acceptable outfit.

As this is a Ball, we’d love to see what everyone wearing for the night. So please feel free to make any edits or graphics to share with the group, and tag them with #auradoninspo

It will begin December 13st at 12pm and conclude on Thursday, December 19th at 11:59pm. Like always, if you have any threads you have not concluded by the last day of the event, you’re more than free to continue them to close them out, we just won’t allow any new threads to be made.

non-event threads and interactions are still allowed on the dash.

The following players have been accepted in Auradon University. You now have TWENTY-FOUR HOURS to create your character’s account and send it into the main! Please check out the NEW MEMBER CHECKLIST and follow everyone on the FOLLOW LIST. Auradon University welcomes you with open arms.

This is Halloween. This is Halloween. Halloween. Halloween. Halloween. Halloween!

Our favorite spooky season is back, and with it comes the chance to dress up as anything you like. From scary to sexy to funny, no costume is off limits when October comes around. And with costumes comes parties. As you all might have heard, Aurèlie Facilier was born on Halloween and her dear friend RIley Fitzherbert has rounded up a few accomplices and they’ve decided to throw a surprise costume party on campus. Come as whoever you want, with a mask preferably as it’s a masquerade costume surprise party - but also it’s college so who really cares about the rules, right?

The party will start at 9pm on Friday and will be held in the abandoned Tri Delt house. Don’t worry about trespassing or getting caught by faculty because a glamour spell has been created to make sure anyone randomly passing by will see nothing but an empty sorority house. Bring drinks if you want, friends if you got them and remember to have fun. 

Also, no costume, no entry.

EVENT INFORMATION

The party is not mediatory for every character. All students and alumni are welcome. If you think you have a graduate who will no be on campus, the Snuggly Duckling will be having a theme bar night and there are also pumpkin patches and haunted houses in the area!

As this is a costume party, we’d love to see what everyone is dressing up as. So please feel free to make any edits or graphics to share your characters costumes with the group, and tag them with #auradoninspo

It will begin November 1st at 12pm and conclude on Sunday, November 10th at 11:59pm. Both admins have noticed in the past that we often end up extending event’s for more people to interact, so we’ve decided to make this one a week to see how it goes. Like always, if you have any threads you have not concluded by the last day of the event, you’re more than free to continue them to close them out, we just won’t allow any new threads to be made.

non-event threads and interactions are still allowed on the dash.

Can you feel it? The excitement in the air? It makes your fingers twitch and your hair stand on end. It’s fight club baby, and it’s come to Auradon University.

An event that took place quite often on the Isle is making its way onto the mainland thanks to a handful of VKs that are in need of some entertainment and want to make a bit of money. Those who were told about the secret event might think the group is crazy for deciding to host it during homecoming, when royals and alumni are all over campus, but they’ll tell you they did it on purpose. What’s the fun if there’s no chance of getting caught?

During spirit week there has been whispers on campus of an underground fight night that would be happening on Friday, right after the Tourney game. With a lack of greek life and no one to host an after party, it seems the most logical option is to get totally wasted in an empty warehouse and cheer on a bunch of hyped up kids who feel like beating each other senseless. Why would they want to do it, you ask? Money. There’s a $50 buy in but the winner leaves with the whole pot... oh and did we forget? They also get to fight the current King of Auradon. Don’t ask Mitchell Roux why he’s agreed to go along with this, you’re not going to get an answer.

So, come to the secret location. Place a few bets, drink a few drinks, or maybe even throw yourself in the ring. It’s open to anyone with cash and the will to fight, just don’t tell campus security. No one likes a buzzkill this early into the school year.

EVENT INFORMATION

While your characters aren’t going to be forced to attend, the fight club will be open on the dash for threads and interactions. As it’s homecoming week, all current and past students of Auradon can attend if they so choose.

Students have all been getting anonymous messages throughout the week sent to their phone or email informing them of the upcoming fight, with promises of beer, gambling and the potential to see a classmate you might hate be knocked out. The address was in the message along with a time and basic instructions. Abandoned warehouse by the docks. 9pm after the Tourney Game ends. Don’t tell any authority figures.

There will be drinks for sale at the event and students can place bets on who they think will win, the fights will be posted on the dash throughout the weekend for more reaction time from players.

If you would like your character to be one of the fighters, please message the admins or reply to this post!

It will begin October 11th at 12pm and conclude on Sunday, October 13th at 11:59pm. Like always, if you have any threads you have not concluded by that point, you’re more than free to continue them to close them out, we just won’t allow any new threads to be made.

all members are allowed to participate, but it is not mandatory.

non-event threads and interactions are still allowed on the dash.

With three long months of summer ahead and characters scattered across Auradon, we’ve decided to introduce something new to the group: AU weeks! The first of three AU weeks begins next week! This event will run for one whole week and will have the following theme: Superheroes/Sky High.

What does this mean? For this week only, it’s a required summer semester at Auradon University, the only college in Auradon that (as of just this year!) accepts both children of heroes and children of villains (and their respective sidekicks). For seniors, this is their very last semester to prove themselves. For everyone else, it’s just a normal semester. What powers will your character have? Will they be in training as a hero or have they been declared a sidekick? The choice is yours!

EVENT INFORMATION

this event will run from 12:00am est on sunday, april 28th to 11:59pm est on saturday, may 4th.

while the AU week is canon to the present in the group (all connections and events thus far remain as close to the same as the setting allows), nothing that happens during this week will be canon after the week is up.

all characters have powers, but not all characters may have the most traditionally useful powers. those with more unique powers that may not have a use in everyday situations are typically considered to be sidekicks.

all members are encouraged to participate, but it is not mandatory.

non-event threads and interactions are still allowed on the dash, but must be tagged as such.

if making a starter, continue to use the #auradonstarter and #auradonevent tags

we highly suggest tagging any event threads with something along the lines as #event009 or whatever may fit with your own personal tagging system, so players know what is happening during the event and what is happening outside of it.

With the finale assignments behind us, the grades being calculated, and graduation upon the horizon, the school year is coming to an end. And as dorm room closets are being emptied into suitcases, and memories packed into boxes, we’re sure many students on our campus have questions about what the next three months hold. Specifically, where our students from the Isle will be staying. Well, Prince Mitchell has worked with numerous families across the kingdom to come to an agreed solution. All students from the Isle, graduating or still enrolled at Auradon University, will spend the summer living with host families they are assigned. If not obvious, these students will be under the supervision of these families for the next three months until the new school year starts up.

We’re sure you’re all wondering what will happen to our graduated students after these summer months end, and the future king has found a solution as well. Students are expected to use these months to find paid internships, jobs in their fields or save up any money they’ll need, and come August, they will meet with a relator who will help them find an apartment in the kingdom of their choosing.

So, please use the rest of this week to finish packing and expect correspondence from your respective host families.

Tatiana Beaufort - the family of Aurora Rose in the kingdom of Auroria

Sterling and Kaela Christensen - the family of Anna Bjorman in the kingdom of Arendelle

Students of Auradon -

With the unrest in the kingdom, we need to take precautionary steps. It has been communicated to the Auradonian Council that several parental compaints have been filed, alleging that we're not allowing students to return to the Isle for breaks. This is false. With mounting pressure from Auradon and the Isle alike, we have determined that all Isle residents must return to the Isle for Spring Break.

Have no fear! All Isle residents currently attending Auradon University will be welcomed back to school after the break. However, great care will be taken to ensure that this particular decree is followed to the letter.

EVENT INFORMATION

this event will run until 11:59pm est on sunday, december 30th.

all vk’s are required to return to the isle.

non-event threads and interactions are still allowed on the dash.

Regardless of you being aware or unaware, an official statement must be made. Last night as the Alpha Sigma Phi Rush event was underway students reported the smell of smoke and the warmth of heat before vacating the premises upon realizing the house was caught aflame. The local fire department was called to the scene and the flames were contained, but not before numerous rooms and belongings within the house were charred to a crisp. While the house still stands, it’s currently a hazard to the students who live in there, and has been closed for the next week and a half for construction.

The boys of Alpha Sigma Phi have been told to collect their things and were sent to a hotel for the night. Those who lost any belongings will be reimbursed by the school. This morning, Rho Sigma Nu has graciously opened their doors until construction has ended, and until further notice, all members of Alpha Sigma Phi will be displaced throughout the house.

It is still unclear if the fire was accidental, given the nature of events, or if it was an act of vandalism, but we would like the entire campus to know that a full investigation will be conducted and any student(s) responsible with be dealt with accordingly.

Further instructions about the rush process will be given later in the week, so please keep an eye on your student emails for further instructions.

Have a wonderful day,

Dean of Students,
