Welcome to the Academy of Tactile and Directed Operations Arts! A multifandom, open RP group. Please read the about and rules pages for further information.
Ash Lynx has been accepted and placed into Predatore house 1. Welcome to your second year, Ash. It’s real crouching lion, hidden dragon in your house!
The academy encourages students to embrace their interests and pursue skills outside of murder and violence! Well, some of the staff does. Students are welcome to form student organizations, like one would find at any other school. To start a club, students will need at least two members and an advisor from our staff. Remember, student organizations are student driven. To form a club, message a moderator with your club name, members, staff sponsor, and a brief description of the club (two or three sentences).
TAGGING
We are proud to announce a new tagging system for discord. All content concerns will be privately given through applications and placed in the #content-list-and-tagging channel. There it will be assigned an emoji to signify it’s category.Â
All mentions of subjects included in the content categories must display the emoji before and after the post that it is contained within.Â
All use of subjects included in the content categories must display the emojis at the beginning and end of the post and the post itself, except for the emojis, must be placed under a spoiler tag.
Spoiler tags are created by placing || at the beginning and end of the content you wish to hide. To view the message, simply click on the black box and it will be removed.
This tagging system must be in use throughout the server, whether IC or OOC.
Here is how powers will be handled within the academy:
For the phantom thieves, there will be no access to the metaverse. Sorry, but we can’t have you changing the hearts of our lovely staff, can we? What you will have access to is your persona, which you will be able to summon at will as long as you are transformed. Since you’ll always be perceived as a threat, you can transform when ever you wish, and your persona will sustain a degree of damage that you take in your place. Oh, but if you’re caught before transformation, you’re as vulnerable as anyone else.
If persona wielders from earlier segments arrive, they’ll have essentially the same ability, with damage resilience depending upon whether or not their persona is summoned.
    As the evening rolls by, you receive a message on your phone, one plastered with way too many kaomojis to be salvageable. You manage, though, squinting through the distractions to see the list that the Principal himself sent to each of you, informing you of the items you must collect (and their locations) with your partner. Below it, a complete list of all the items, should you decide to steal them from other members. Sabotaging is great fun.
Below the cut are the item lists for each team! Remember, if you would like to steal items, be sure to message one of the team members OOC to ensure this is alright.

    To kick off the school year, the incredibly dedicated, incredibly motivated department heads worked together to fulfill the request of the incredibly kind headmaster. “Let’s have a scavenger hunt,” he’d said. “It’ll be fun,” he’d said, and would be a good way to get the students used to the school as well as test their abilities, they supposed. So, begrudgingly, they set to work.
    “What are they even going to collect?” “Who knows, maybe my shoe could work.” “Nobody wants to touch that.” “Where will we hide them, though?” “Somewhere guarded! Make it tough!” “How tough is tough?”
    After their collaborated efforts and a few death threats out of frustration, the set-up of the scavenger hunt has been successful!
    Caesar stands atop the school’s main gate, a grey-scale megaphone in one hand while the other sweeps across as he addresses the masses. “Good morning, my beautiful students! Today we start a game! A scavenger hunt, to be exact! Sound fun? The department heads slaved over this for the happiness of our glorious principal, so you best enjoy it!
    “Each of you will find yourselves in groups of two! You will be given a list with locations and items in each. The ones you’ll need to collect will be bolded. The others are available for you to grab, and trade with the other students… Or have them fight you to the death for them. Haha! What fun!
    “Winners will be rewarded with fabulous prizes, so hunt, hunt, hunt! The event begins this evening. Prepare yourselves as if your life depends on it. Tah-tah~”

Welcome to our first event!
You’ll need a partner before you can begin. Find one yourself, or like this post to be sorted into one!
Once you find a partner, message the masterlist and we will send you your list of items.
The event begins now and ends 11:59PM CST Friday, June 9th!
Below are the locations where items can be found, as well as the challenges you’ll face when at the locations.
Guidelines:
Unless directly interacting with a teacher at these locations, feel free to have the thread go as you wish; as long as you roleplay out how your character defeated these challenges, then we don’t mind how much of a struggle it is or isn’t. Use your best judgment.
If you are hoping to steal an item from a location that isn’t on your list, please OOC message the person with the item on their list to make sure this is okay, and to double check they haven’t already picked it up. Plotting is encouraged!
If you have found every item, message the masterlist to complete the hunt!
Please tag all event posts with #AAevent to allow ease of reading for mods. If your thread involves one of the teachers, be sure to tag their blog in your opening.
There are maps posted around the school buildings to guide you to these locations if you are unsure.
You have until 11:59PM CST Friday, June 9th to complete your event threads. You may continue your threads after this time, but your character must have their items in their possession by this time to be counted. If a teacher you are rping with is too busy to respond to you in a timely manner, it is possible for an approved extension as it is out of the student’s hands.
Each team’s list of items will be published in a post following this one.
For any further questions, feel free to message the masterlist!
Locations:
The Professor’s Office
Items to get: his left shoe, a black stiletto switchblade
The corner office has no windows, yet two separate and difficult locks on the door. When the professor isn’t doing security walks around the campus, he’s in class or here. If you find him in his office, you may step inside to speak with him. Beware, you may very well see a torture tutoring session in progress, the student bound tightly to the chair and shivering in terror and pain. Careful you wear non-slip shoes.
Items may be stolen, if you have the blind courage and skill to track his whereabouts and break into the room. Just know that he will know who you are. He made the lists. His items may be bargained for with ridiculously posed or mismatched bodies sent to the infirmary, or plain old, hard cash.
Infirmary
Items to get: a small oval diamond and a wooden staff with a curved top
A large room full of small hospital beds. Shelves on the wall hold various stones and crystals as well as bottles of medication and vials full of strange mixtures you can’t quite place. There’s a clear attempt to cleanse the room of the scent of death with cleaning substances. The diamond and staff are both set upon a desk, where Aileen is likely sitting. You can either take the item by force, which she will respond to by attempting to shoot you, or you can bribe her with chocolates, stuffed animals, or pranks against The Professor.
Clock Tower
Items to get: a ring from his finger, a vial of exotic poison
Perched atop the main building is an imposing stone bell tower. You find a staircase inside, just behind a locked door in a side room, but you would need serious firepower to blow open the bricked up entrance at the top. No way around it. You have to get in from the outside. Can you scale the wall, can you blow it up without harming the necessary items, can you fly in? You do remember the older kids always watch the tower warily. Something must have happened up there. Yet you know that is where you will find Mr. A waiting.
Items can be stolen at the risk of being trapped in a bell tower with a murderer. Alternatively, bribe him with a finger, a vial of blood, or the professor’s prized “Lovely Big Gun”.
Pool
Item to get: Pheynix’s tail rings (2)
A loud horn sounds from the scoreboard on the other end of the pool, the door slams and locks shut as the student enters the room. A 15-minute timer starts right as the door closes. The only available tools are swim fins and some fire-proof gloves.
The pool is a nice and toasty 4°C (39.2°F). There are visible lasers running the width of the pool at many different depths and angles and crossing one of these will cause a mini harpoon guns to fire from both ends of the laser towards the swimmer. The rings are sitting at the bottom of the other end of the pool. They weigh 15lbs each and must be carried back through the pool to the other end. Touching the rings will cause them to become extremely hot (hence the gloves from earlier).
Counselor’s Office
Items to get: A pen with Caesar's name and contact info engraved on it, and a file with useless information on gardening
When the counselor's office door is opened, there is no floor. The space has the same dimensions as the office, and the walls have remained, but everything else seems to be floating in space. There are little stones (about wide enough for two shoes to fit on) leading to two comfortable student's chairs, while Caesar sits in his floating chair behind his floating desk. To get the items you seek, you must cross all five hovering stones without falling (they bob once stepped on), jump into one of the two open chairs, and honestly answer some of Caesar's intrusive questions.
Saloon Cafe
Item to get: A coffee cup with a gun printed on it (x5)
A sign outside says “Western Cafe”. You push open the saloon doors and step into a setting out of a cowboy movie. The western-style room is filled with wooden tables and chairs. Liquor bottles full of colored water line the wall behind the counter and give off the false impression that alcohol is sold here. When you enter, the customers and staff stop what they’re doing to watch you. A bartender eyes you suspiciously as he slowly wipes down the counter, where you can go to purchase coffee if you choose to do so. The coffee cups sit on a shelf behind the counter. Only staff are allowed to touch them, and if you attempt to take the cups, everyone in the cafe will pull out their guns and begin firing at you.
Aquarium
Item to get: a very large, fake pearl (x5)
Inside the local aquarium, you will find the pearls sitting at the bottom of the shark tank. The pearls are enormous, and holding one will require the use of both hands. You must obtain the equipment necessary for your task from the facility, enter the shark tank, and collect the pearl while you are surrounded on all sides by large sharks of different breeds and the peering eyes of all the aquarium visitors who can now see you.
Teachers’ Lounge
Item to get: maneki-neko figurine (x5)
To enter the teachers’ common area, you must obtain a key card from one of the teachers. There is no other way to enter, but a card from any of them will grant you entry and you can obtain it how you like. Upon entering, you’ll notice that the empty bar in the room has several maneki-neko figurines lined across the surface, meowing incessantly. Good luck getting one of the “nya”ing charms without being caught by any of the staff.
To start, our first event will be officially beginning on Monday 29. The principal will be holding a school-wide scavenger hunt with great prizes! Try to find a partner to work with. Submit your teams to us through the askbox or like this post if you’d like to be assigned a partner to work with.
Our second piece of news is that, from now on, Saturday and Sunday will be meme weekends. Reblog askbox memes to get more interaction.
Don’t forget to follow your charismatic Principal Feraggio, an interactive mod account focused on answering IC question answering and information distributing. There is where you may ask for supplemental skills acquisition, direct world building questions, or keep up to date with events at a closer rate.
Faculty character admins are the only ones required to follow. While all students have mandatory school-issued phones that receive his group texts, they may elect to block him or ignore texts. Therefore student blogs do not have to keep up. However, it is a fun way to get involved and shape the schoolscape.
