the high school au meme   1. Post with your character with their name and series in the subject line. Optionally: include a small description of what they're like in the AU. 2. Roll 1-19. or come up with your own scenarios. 3. ??? 4. Play out high school AU times.     1. first day Catch up with old friends, brave new teachers, fight your way through the sea of students, and hope you're in the right classroom. Oh, you're the new kid. Well, that's okay as long as you've got more than enough summer vacation anecdotes to fill ten pages of Times New Roman size 12, single-spaced.   2. first period You're gonna be late! Or are you already there? Class hasn't started just yet, so chat it up or copy your classmate's homework before the teacher gets here.   3. lesson proper You're probably diligently taking notes, looking out the window daydreaming or reciting in class, much to your teacher's delight - or dismay. Try not to be too obvious when counting down the minutes and pass that note as discreetly as possible.   4. faculty Have a bone to pick with your terror math teacher. A crush on the cute chemistry teacher? There might be something you want to ask your homeroom teacher about. In any case, you plan on seeing a faculty member today. Or maybe they plan on seeing you!   5. lunch break Man, you are starving. Hopefully, today's menu has something good. If the crowded cafeteria's not your thing, try the rooftop.   6. hooky One of you is skipping class. You should try talking them out of it if that's your thing.   7. detention What on earth did you do to get this? Oh well. Detention can't be that bad when you've got all these very nice, approachable model students around to talk to.   8. p.e. Baseball, basketball, dodgeball - no matter the sport, just remember: you are the star. It's you. At least, you hope it is.   9. home ec. Sewing! Cooking! ... Try not to burn the school down!   10. lab work Frog dissections! Explosions!   11. school fair/festival Every school has one of these. What's your class doing this year?   12. theater Oh boy, oh boy, being the star of this play is your dream. It isn't? Oh. You're still helping with the props and costumes, right?   13. library If you need to look something up or just want some peace and quiet, this is the place. Whatever you do, shh, people are trying to read.   14. bully Whether they take the form of Nelson Muntz or Regina George, if you choose to meet them at the gym at four o' clock or else, be ready to face the consequences... or maybe you don't have to. Not when someone's here to help you out. (This can go either way - one of the participants can be the bully or someone helping the victim.)   15. tutor You're having trouble with a class or you're trying to make up for the days you were absent. It's a good thing someone was nice enough to offer their assistance.   16. clubs Assuming that you actually have one. Are you writing for the school paper? Part of the student council? The marching band? Maybe you're a member of one of those weird occult clubs or something...   17. prom Do you have a dress? A date? Who are you voting for prom king? Is being on prom committee is driving you crazy? Do you even care?   18. graduation Well, it was fun while it lasted. It's time to say those last words, settle those scores and get ready to grow up.   19. roll again/make your own scenario ( from here )

Er...that depends. [He didn't get that far, okay?] I guess. You could just come with me tomorrow? Everyone's pretty cool and...hey, Cynthia and Morgan's there.

[tolight]

Tomorrow? [ She pauses for a moment. ] Yeah, I'm almost sure I'll be available tomorrow.

Would it be alright to just... go?

[twitchyswordhand]

Sure! [Was he flopped? He's unflopping now to sit up and look at her better.] I mean, all you need to do is come. I guess you could work on figuring out your character ahead of time, but the campaign's pretty new so you don't have that much you'd have to worry about. Do you think you'll be more of a healer, or...nay, you'd be a knight. [Said with all the force of a papel edict.]

[tolight]

A knight... [ Yeah, that does sound pretty cool. Actually, just from the stories she's heard from Owain, it sounds really cool. ]

If you're sure. When and where will it be?

[twitchyswordhand]

We usually meet at the park near Morgan's place. You know the one? Golden Gardens, though, once we are in character, we call it the Ruins of Time. [The last is said with heroic emphasis. With feeling.]

[tolight]

By the grocery store, right? [ Nod. One of those important nods that's normally for important things. Though, in some ways, it was important... ] I'll be there.

[ Then a conveniently timed bell that signals the end of lunch. ] Oh! Are you coming over for dinner later? I think father mentioned something...

[twitchyswordhand]

Then yeah, I'd never hear the end of it from mom if I skipped dinner with you guys. [Great, classes.]

[tolight]

I doubt you'd hear the end of it from any of us. [ She smiles, grabbing her things for her bag. Yaaaay math class. Or something. ]

I should stop by my locker before getting to class...

[twitchyswordhand]

Yeah, same. Hey, do you have your math textbook? I, er, lost mine and I already got warned twice by teach.

[tolight]

I do. In my locker.

Oh - [ She paused, eyebrows furrowing together. ] I think Laurent had been speaking about how he found an extra textbook a week ago. Have you asked him?

[twitchyswordhand]

[!]

I haven't! You're a lifesaver! [He'd totally highfive if it wasn't Lucina, who, while his cool cousin, isn't highfive material. At least they'd have to work at it and he's in a ru- screw it, ATTEMPTED HIGHFIVE BEFORE HE RUNS TO CATCH LAURENT BEFORE CLASS.]

[tolight]

I'm almost certain he has Chemistry after lunch... [ Oh, er--

Lucina takes a moment to just... stare, before eventually raising her hand up to her shoulder in the most awkward attempt at a high-five ever because well... Yeah. ]
