#seasevent

the  tide  of  vegas  ebbs  and  flows,  drama  and  excitement  all  tied  into  one  with  a  pretty  little  bow.  she  hesitates  at  the  front  desk  in  the  lobby  when  she  sees  the  face  of  someone  she  knows,  desperately  longing  for  company.  "  i  need  someone  to  come  and  see  hadestown  with  me.  i  can't  leave  without  seeing  it  now  i'm  in  vegas  !  "

howdy, students !  we hope you all have enjoyed your stay in honolulu, hawaii. to finish off our trip here, we will be having a haunted luau halloween event sunday october 24th, 12:30 pm on the waikiki beach. we will have popular luau foods, such as poke, lomi lomi salmon, and haupia as well as some traditional halloween favorites - candy, cookies, hot  ( and iced ) chocolate and cocktails. there will be a large bonfire set up where you can tell ghost stories, play ukulele, and hang out, surrounded, of course, by tiki torches. we will also have traditional Hawaiian music playing, mixed in with some spooky halloween favorites. wear your best COSTUMES !  

if you are unable to make it to this event, don’t fret. we will continue to host various events at different times of day throughout the semester to ensure folks in other timezones can participate.

time: sunday, october 24th, 12:30pm eastern.

location: ic - waikiki beach ooc - we will be using a site extremely similar to chatzy that does not limit the number of participants; link upcoming.

attire: halloween costumes !! 

sincerely, dean murphy

note — since this is many members’ first ic chat event, here are guidelines:

for this event, we highly recommend you use a computer browser and not mobile, if possible. i don’t know if chatzy works on mobile, but i haven’t tried it before.

to enter the chatzy event, you will automatically enter as a guest when you click the link. once you enter, click your name in the right sidebar and then choose the option “change nickname.”  format your nickname like this:  Name (referred/pronouns)

admin nia or cris will be talking ic as dean murphy during the event to help things along. other surprises may pop up if drama is lagging, but hopefully it won’t be necessary.

to interact in the event, simply write a sentence or two in the chat text link and submit.  it will appear in the chat room. if you haven’t used chatzy before, it is extremely simple and is literally just a private online chat room.

when writing in the event, use storybook type writing and present tense, as all things are happening at the exact same time in the event. the characters are literally in the ballroom moving about and interacting.

example 1: Mark gingerly walks over to the bar and looks at the bartender. “Can i get a rum and coke?”

example 2: “What the hell are you wearing?” Lena asks mark, eyeing his extravagant suit.

“Gr-great, first the panic o-on the ship, then the gh-ghost.” He mumbled. “I-I guess on a br-brighter side at least it isn’t a-a sharknado right?” He asked shrugging his shoulders.

propping her phone up on her desk, elle busied herself with choosing the perfect outfit to hit the club in. it was her first night back and she certainly wasn’t going to waste it. hearing someone pick up her call, she paused for a second and appeared on screen. “what time is it for you?” she asked curiously, never having gotten the hang of timezones. the only time that really mattered was whichever one she was in. “actually never mind, what do you think? there’s a new club opening tonight and i want to look fit.” ​

“i promised my mum we wouldn’t be caught in a hurricane and have to evacuate,” duckie said with a grimace, moving a checker into place on the board in front of her. she sighed, looking up at one of the other people in the lobby. “at least all that being dramatic was just being dramatic. and i bet costa rica’s beautiful when it’s not trying to kill us,” she pointed out, always keen on a silver lining.
