Kia ora — or hello for those of ya that aren’t familiar with Maori language. Just got off the plane and rolled right on in here. If ya don’t know, Beckett Weston, newly appointed Switch, but ya can just call me Beck if it’s easier. Definitely can say I’m glad to be back, nothing quite like being back in NZ but this is still nice enough. Any Submissives willing to help me with my bags?

@tgaimportant​

[quinntessentialsub]

Hey, Beck. Though, I guess I should be calling you Sir now, huh? It’s nice to see you again. How have you been?

[quinntessentialsub]

what’s your favourite hot drink?

Coffee. I can't live without it.

[quinntessentialsub]

if you’re treating yourself, what do you do?

A self care night.

[quinntessentialsub]

what’s your dream date?

I'd have to say April 25. Because it's not too hot, not too cold

[joyacaotica]

Let’s smash this off with a bang, nobody likes boring. I’m about to hit you with two truths and one lie, can you tell which is which? I’m a rebel, I’m a lover, and I come in peace. Your turn, I want to hear yours too. My name is Mencia, I’m a Switch, and I just came in from Spain so man am I tired and lucky I missed classes today.

@tgaimportant​

[quinntessentialsub]

I’m going to go with you don’t come in peace, and that’s mostly because I’m stealing everyone else’s answer. I’m not a huge fan of guessing games but I’ll play along. I read true crime novels in my free time, I won a couple pageants when I was 3 years old, and I’m not trouble. I’m Quinn Fabray, submissive. Nice to meet you, Miss.

[sumisopolito]

I’ve been asking for a transfer for years, I didn’t think this was how I’d get it. Still on the fence about being this far away. My name is Polo, I’m a Submissive, and it’s good to finally have a fresh start. I came in last night but I didn’t feel like being social so I settled in and charged my new phone that the school gave me. …How is everyone?

@tgaimportant​

[quinntessentialsub]

You’re one of the few people I’ve seen that’s actually excited to be here so that’s new. I’m Quinn Fabray, also a submissive.

Nikolai tilts his head in consideration, listening closely. The lack of title grates on him, the way she doesn’t even look him has him yearning to grasp her by the face to force her to look at him as she speaks. But he doesn’t move. This situation doesn’t call for a reactionary response, it calls for collaboration and even in his current state, a part of him knows that and that fact has him anchored where he sits. Nikolai is silent until the very last word leaves her mouth and she comes to a natural pause, giving her the time and space to express herself, as promised. When she finally looks up at him, he leans forward a bit, “One, you know I don’t mince words. You know I’m quite blunt when I want to be and I don’t waste time with frilly language. I don’t regret what I said but perhaps I could have been a bit more approachable. I’ll admit that. You have my apology for any hurt you’re feeling. And before you mention your sister, I have reached out to her already.” He pauses before continuing. “What would you like for me to do, Quinn?” His tone is even, not a hint of malice in his words. “What are you looking for here? Do you expect me to lay my head on your shoulder and pathetically regale you with the tales of how almost everything has gone to utter shit? I’m the Dominant, in case you’ve forgotten. You are the submissive. Meaning I make the rules and you follow them. I tell you what I want to tell you and you listen. I maintain control, I take care of you. And quite frankly? Even if I were the type to lean on a submissive, leaning on someone who left is a bit of a challenge, no matter what the reasons were. I say that not to throw it in your face but- that hasn’t gone away. It is still there, looming. Each and every time you spend the night and my eyes take longer than five seconds to find you…” I’m worried you’ve run off again. The rest dies on his tongue. A slight nod of his head to signal that he’s done for the moment and that it’s her move. 

There’s a muscle in Quinn’s jaw that ticks as she has to hold her tongue from lashing out. She isn’t sure how many more times she can stand to have her mistake brought back up as if it isn’t something he can move past. “If you’re constantly waiting for other shoe to drop, almost expecting me to walk out in the middle of the night, then why are we even trying in the first place? I’m not sure what else you want me to do to prove to you that I’m not leaving.” She sighs and leans back with her hands bracing her weight against the floor and her head drops back, her eyes staring up at the ceiling. Her movements seem to offend the little fur ball in her lap who hops up and trots over to curl up somewhere near Nik’s feet and resumes her nap. Quinn watches and rolls her eyes before looking back up the ceiling. “That is all well and good, but what good are you going to be to me if you can’t even take care of yourself?” Her hands comes up and to gesture around her. She is an observant person so it didn’t take her but a few seconds of being in his room and seeing even the faintest hint of things being out of place. She can only take that as an extension of his mental well being because he won’t tell her anything else. She realizes her words could be a little harsh and she sits up to look at him to let him know she has no ill intention. “What I mean to say is what happens, and I’m not saying this will happen, but what happens if you have a breakdown from shouldering the responsibilities for everyone else? How are you ever going to take care of anyone else at that point if it ever gets that bad? I’m not looking for you to talk to me in the same manner you would your family or even your Dominant friends. I’m not looking for you to become some soft spoken Dominant who thinks everyone is made out of sunshine and rainbows because if I wanted that then I wouldn’t be here. However, I am looking for you to let me be there for you. Yes I am the submissive, but you wanted me because I’m a strong submissive, correct? So then let me be that for you when you need it. Please.” Quinn is grateful she has long since learned to compartmentalize her emotions, or else she may have started to cry. She shifts in her seat, wanting to close the distance between the two of them to sit at his feet with her head in his lap. She knows it would ground her when everything going on in her head felt like utter chaos, but she wants to get all of this out first.

PM || Quinn&Ahsan

Ahsan: Uh, yeah. Horror is good with me. We'll have to check with Dan too, but I'm on board. If not there are plenty of other options.

QUINN: That's really all I want to do. Beyond that I don't have any other thoughts really. I didn't sign up with any sort of real expectations.

[quinntessentialsub]

[PM from AHSAN:] Hey there! From the looks of things, you're 1/3 of our Valentines Trio! I'd like to hear your thoughts, you can tell me what you're looking for from this, and we can go from there. Speak your mind, I'm not judging, just feeling things out.

[tgaheadmistress]

Good afternoon, students. As I’m sure you all remember, we’re in a school and despite the vivacity of the drama that permeates our beloved campus at all times, the education must go on. So on we go.

MARK LEADER ELECTIONS have arrived! 

What that means for all of you is that we’ve reached the part of this process where you all take a look at the names listed below and then send your vote in by responding to this to keep the votes organized and easy to find. You may either vote publicly or through a private response. 

May the best of each mark win. And of course, for all those that did not get the chance to run this time or do not win, there will be another election coming soon. This is meant to be a process that allows each Mark Leader two weeks with the title before another round of elections begin, but these things are also done based on interest, so if that is lacking it may be a monthly ordeal instead. It’s all up to you. While this is all an optional experience, you should all be voting and you can trust that I have my eyes on those that do and don’t.

Submissive Mark Leader candidates: 

Valeria Aguirre

Ambrose Eliot-Abrams

Eleanor Flanagan

Mason McCarthy

Switch Mark Leader candidates:

Darrean Anderson

Dominant Mark Leader candidates:

Campbell Clarington

Madison McCarthy

Also remember that running for Mark Leader has already given each student listed above ONE PARTICIPATION POINT, because they have proven their character by participating. The winners will be given an additional NINE PARTICIPATION POINTS for all of the work they will do as Mark Leader, bringing them up to a total of TEN POINTS. That should tell you how much effort the winner should be putting in, so those of you listed above and those of you considering running in the future need to keep that in mind. 

Everyone that votes will get ONE POINT as well. What can be done with these points will be detailed at a later time. Happy voting.

[quinntessentialsub]

Submissive Mark Leader: Eleanor Flanagan Switch Mark Leader: Darrean Anderson. Dominant Mark Leader: Madison McCarthy.

[tgadallaswinston]

This place sure is a riot. It’s real easy to ruffle feathers ‘round here, huh? Guess all places work the same at the end of the day. For those I ain’t talked to yet, I’m Dallas Winston. Dominant. They better not check my bags when I leave, I’m takin’ half the place with me when I go.

@tgaimportant​

[quinntessentialsub]

It’s a lot of hormones in one place so things do get heightened fairly easily. I can’t tell if you’re being serious about the bag thing or not.

[domnickandros]

From the looks of things, I’ve dropped in at a very interesting time. I’m trying to get all caught up, but while I do I saw nothing wrong with introducing myself. I’m Nick Andros, and I’m a Dominant. I’m from Arkansas originally, but I’ve traveled to a lot of different states, and most recently was going to school in Colorado. I’m here now though, and it’s really neat to be here! I don’t remember ever seeing a place this nice, wow! I’m really excited to get involved, meet new people, and make new friends, so if you’re looking for anything like that, let me know! @tgaimportant​

[quinntessentialsub]

Nice to meet you, Sir. I’m Quinn Fabray. Now, when you say a lot of states, how many are you talking about? I’m just curious.

[ofsundays]

Wow, many new people to meet in what seems like so little time! So let me just hit y’all with a quick introduction for those that are new or probably passed me in the hallways in years past. Hi there, I’m Fletcher Hudson. Youngest of the Hudson kids, Lesbian, formerly a Dominate mark, recently changed to Switch mark — I write for the school newspaper which is something I’m very proud of, and always welcome to interview interesting people. So, if that’s you, please share! But uh— sorry about the ramble; happy to be surrounded by beautiful Sirs, Misses and Mxs. 

@tgaimportant​

[quinntessentialsub]

Another familiar face. It’s nice to see you again, Miss. I’m assuming you’ve been settling in well so far?

[isabelevansguerin]

I’m sure I’ve seen less serious expressions on the faces of Death Row inmates, geeze. You would think someone had just collectively kicked all of your best friends or something. I’ll have my work cut out for me this year, that much is sure. No matter. I love a good challenge, and I don’t back down. Speaking of, what a great segue. For anyone who doesn’t remember me, which I’m hard pressed to believe is the truth, I’m Isabel Evans-Guerin, Domme. I’m looking for someone to assist me with my bags, however my one stipulation is that if you’re unable to do so with a smile, don’t bother volunteering. 

@tgaimportant​

[quinntessentialsub]

Welcome back, Miss. It’s been an interesting time to say the least but it seems like things are starting to calm down so I’m sure you’ll get plenty of volunteers. If I didn’t already have plans, I would volunteer myself.

[quinntessentialsub]

switchashton​:

Yeah? I see you got yourself a yapper. 

I’ve only had her for a day but I would already die for her.

And she finally speaks. He was wondering when she may open her mouth. The issue is that what comes out of her mouth takes him by surprise, though he doesn’t allow that to show on his face. Ah yes. The one hour allowance he’s permitted for her to say whatever she’d like, in whatever manner she’d like. Something he suspects may soon become the bane of his existence, if her opening statement is anything to go by. As per usual as of late, he wears a practiced yet cold look and glances up from his book after memorizing the page number. He places it to the side and gestures with a small motion of his hand and slightly raised brows. I disagree, but- “Continue.” 

Quinn understands she has the opportunity to say what’s her mind in a rude way if she truly wants to, but the problem is she doesn’t want to. If it were anyone else, she would be trying to cut them down, attack them where she knows it would hurt them the most, but she couldn’t bring herself to do that with Nikolai. Taking a few moments, she thinks about how to wants to articulate herself. “I get that you’re going through something because of everything going on,” she had figured that he had something going on with Genevieve given their spectacle a little while ago and the way he had responded only confirms her suspicious, but that isn’t her problem. “The problem is how dismissive you are when you are going through something. The way you worded things was rude even for you. It was almost hurtful.” And I can’t spend the rest of my life with someone who can do easily dismiss me. She doesn’t look up from the dog in her lap and the smile on her face doesn’t match the tone of the conversation at all. “I haven’t quite figured out if you know that you do it, but I find it hard to believe that you would be so unaware of who you are as a person so that leads me a line of other questions. Does he mean to hurt people? Does he do it because he wants to appear strong? Does all of this come from his traditionalist views? Or does he truly not know?” She finally looks up at him. “So which one is the question I should be asking?”
