I HEARD YOU ON THE WIRELESS BACK IN ‘52. Premiering on cable airwaves in 1981, MTV has taken music to a whole other level; with your favorite artists’ hits manifesting themselves both lyrically and visually, it’s like having a concert in your living room – so this Friday night, make your way to the gymnasium of John Hughes High for an (appropriately) music-themed dance and come dressed as your favorite artist. 

THE RULES

– There really aren’t many. The event can start at any point, the hub of which will span the weekend, but you can continue to roleplay threads taking place at the dance after the fact, as well. – You are encouraged to use the tag event: john hughes high to post initial starters/posts for the event in, but it’s not required. – No ooc drama is a given; ic drama is, once again, always welcome. – Have fun! If you’ve got any questions, feel free to send them in. :)

GREAT SCOTT! Voting for the first event will end tonight at 8pm sharp (EST) – that gives you a little over ten hours to cast your vote if you haven’t yet. So far, the themed dance is winning; if you have an idea for a theme for the dance, please send it in! Other than that, have a good day! :D

pretend this is a submission from @whoya-gonnacall – yay for sideblogs !!

name & age of muse: Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler, && Winston Zeddemore || roughly their mid-30’s 
class standing: — 
occupation/clique: History teacher, Librarian, Science teacher, && Vice Principal || staff 
movie/tv show: Ghostbusters 
face claim: Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, Harold Ramis, && Ernie Hudson.  
brief backstory: Booted from their COMFY jobs at Columbia University, the self-proclaimed GHOSTBUSTERS are down on their luck - but more importantly STRAPPED FOR CASH. In DIRE need of money for their bustin’ ghost business venture, Ray suggests finding employment in teaching ELSEWHERE. ( – namely, the high school at which his close friend Winston reigns as VP ).        FAST FORWARD — Egon secured the only open position teaching SCIENCE from the impressive victory won of a VICIOUS game of Rock-Paper-Scissors that erupted between the three. History went to Venkman, after some GENEROUS shuffling around of the current staff and Ray? Well he rather happily settled in as the new LIBRARIAN. ( – if, perhaps, there so happened to be a SIGNIFICANTLY LARGER section of the stacks of books dedicated to the OCCULT… could he really be BLAMED )?        That said — you can’t find your history teacher? Librarian out to an EXTENDED lunch? Try the science lab. ( – there are things happening, man, BIG things )!

name & age of muse: john alan bender / 17 class standing: junior occupation/clique: student / rebel / trouble-maker movie/tv show: the breakfast club face claim: judd nelson brief backstory: john bender isn’t exactly who you’d call a “social butterfly” by any means – actually, more the opposite. it’s not that he’s without his own charms, per say, he just doesn’t care to mix with most people who share the halls with him at john hughes high. he keeps to himself primarily, hanging with only a select few like himself (though you’d hardly call the majority of them ‘close’ friends). beneath all the snark and the clouds of smoke is a boy who cares a lot more than he lets on; a boy who everyday goes home to parents that are abusive (physically and mentally) and just don’t care. to john though, that’s nobody’s business (or burden) but his own, and why should it be? he’s survived so far after all.  name of mun: laurel

Behind her smile however, lies a teenager with a home life that’s lacking, absentee parents, and a soul crushing fear of being alone – but that’s nobody’s business but her own.  name of mun: Liz
