As the school year comes to a close, many students return home for the summer, make travel plans, find jobs. The University remains open to those who wish to stay, but most of the facilities operate at reduced capacity. The Point is slated to undergo what Ashlie calls 'routine maintenance' but in actuality is more of a repair job for the numerous areas that suffered explosive remodeling at some point or another. Too many for a high-tech facility, really. It remains open but might suffer outages from the head-mistress and the newly activated crystal computer remodeling the place to new specifications. In Maldon, an influx of tourists during the summer season means plenty of part-time jobs for remaining students wanting to earn some extra cash, but overall things are likely to be quiet.
We're fast-forwarding through bit of an accelerated downtime, giving people a chance to play out some vignettes of how characters spend their summer or summarizing it if it's not worth a full thread. This thread also serves as bit of a spot for people to organize things regarding who's around, what they might be looking to play out, etc. As well as just generally putting down what characters are doing or working on. I may also throw in some teasers about what the villains and other plot things might be moving towards once, conveniently, the new school year begins.
As usual, current threads can continue to play out before characters enter summer-break-mode and how long Summer Break will take in real-time is going to depend a little bit on how much on-screen stuff people want to do.
Ashlie
Staying at the school for the most part. Repairing and remodeling the Point and Campus alongside whatever administrative stuff goes into running a school. I dunno, paper-work and budgets? Might use her new-found freedom to take some brief trips around Europe.
Robin
Running around to try and get as many people as she can get to go back-packing or day-tripping around Europe with her.
Miriam
Sulking with nowhere to go.
Nika
Very much depends on how things play out in Symkaria.
Shari
Staying and getting increasingly restless about it.
Nailah
Says she's going home to Arizona to visit her parents but that doesn't really sound like the truth. Not going to be on campus. >_>
