Camping Trip Event || Tramping

You’re stuck on what to do? Probably doesn’t help that you’re at least two feet taller than the residents of the Kingdom, huh? But I can help you out with that.

[ All muses in the area/taking part in the event have shrunk to about three feet tall, with wings of course! Feel free to take creative liberty with the design of your character’s wings ] 

Now you’ll stick out just a little less. 

Exploration

Of course, this is the most obvious choice.This Kingdom is quite possibly nothing like you’ve ever seen before. It would be a waste not to reap this experience for all that it’s worth!

 All areas of the Kingdom are open to students to explore - except, of course, the houses of the Pakepakeha themselves.

Palace

There’s the palace, carved into the tallest Kauri tree in the forest ( and possibly, the world ). It is a formidable “building”, protected by a faintly pink bubble of magic and guarded constantly by strong Pakepakeha. It is in here that you will find the Queen, relaxing upon her throne and crafting discussions with the people.

If you have any questions about where you can go, what’s coming up, or if you just want to find out more about the Kingdom - you’re welcome to have a conversation with the Queen herself! Just send a question here and you’re good to go!

Library

The library is quite close to the palace, perched across multiple tree branches. The only way to move between each building is to fly - so hopefully you’ve got the hang of it by now! This library is home to hundreds upon hundreds of books, most of which are in a language that is not our own. But fret not, for you’re sure to find plenty of books in English.

There’s books on every single topic you could possibly imagine - from the cultural habits of each dragon type to the healing properties of shredded toadstool. 

Field of Flowers

Laying beneath the palace and the library is a seemingly never-ending field of flowers. These, of course, are not your ordinary flowers. They appear to be in a constant bloom, standing bright with shifting colours and a powerful fragrance. If you choose to pick one of these flowers, however, the changing colours will stop and the flower will forever be the colour it was when it was picked.

Be careful that you do not get lost! Many visitors, and even a few Pakepakeha themselves, have gotten lost amongst the flower - as their potent perfume has been known to disorientate and confuse.

[ Note: Please follow @queen-pakepakeha. And also, don’t feel as if you’re restricted to these three areas - you’re welcome to take creative liberty with whatever you do! ]

Hey, so like, there’s an ancient magical kingdom up in the woods.

Which, if you pay any attention in my damn lectures you’d probably know about already. But seeing as you’re all blank-faced let me explain.

Lore

Very few know when this Kingdom came into existence - rumors stretch anywhere from a couple thousand years ago back to the very beginning of our planet. There is only one person who knows for sure, the Queen, and she’s not coughing up any answers.

Most people believe that the Kingdom was created from what we’d probably call the ‘refugees’ of the magical world, a mish-mash of different species that couldn’t fit in anywhere else, banding together to create a community where they would be able to thrive.

However, the officially documented history of the Kingdom only begins at the tide of the War - y’know, the one your Headmistress and like...I fought in. Hoards of faeries, pakepakeha, and even your occasional te-tini-o-hakuturi, defended our cause and our rights; creating the world that you lot are lucky to be living in today.

About the Folk

As much as they would prefer to be called “Pakepakeha” they probably won’t slit your throats if you call them “Faeries”.

Standing at a modest stature of about two to three feet, with an incredibly slight figure to match, they don’t exactly stand out. It most certainly does not help that their skin is very much camouflaged, ranging from the faintest hues of pale green to the richest shades of golden brown. Each pakepakeha is different, but it should be noted that the majority of them tend to take on a rather pale complexion, similar to that of bone.

Their wing-span isn’t particularly large either, appearing to be similar to that of your common butterfly - although each wing is unique. The pakepakeha pride themselves in their wings. Even though they may be gorgeous do not touch their wings. They will not enjoy that.

About the Queen

The Queen of the Pakepakeha is a mysterious woman, who definitely stands out in a crowd.

No one really knows anything about her, other than the fact that she’s not from any race that we’ve seen before. Even I’ve never come across someone or just something that looks anything like her.

In comparison to the majority of her subjects, the Queen is massive, towering over even humans at a height of seven feet tall. Everything about her is exaggerated and regal - from her hugely pointed cheekbones, knee-length hair swathed in perpetually blooming flowers, to her ginormous wings which measure up to about the same length as her height.

Oh motherfu-

Where did Hulda go!? She’s the one who knows where we’re going on this bloody tramp, she’s the...the magic-y one. Why am I even here!? I’m the Vice Principal not some kind of teacher-

-

Perhaps we should follow the lights?  At this point in time there’s not really anywhere else to go.

...I’m sure it’ll all be fine though! Ah, don’t worry! I’m sure Hulda will pop up soon and everything will work itself out in the end.

Were you among the eager few to join in on the tramp? Worry not! Hulda is quite eager to include all students in this little adventure, easily teleporting students from their tents into the middle of what seems to be nowhere.

There will be another post with details coming up soon!

Camping Field Trip

Have you packed up all your stuff, put on your sturdiest boots and are carrying enough water to sustain an entire village? 

It is my deepest regret to inform you that today is the day we leave the comforts of our civilized society, wireless internet, and flushing toilets.

I swear this isn’t in my damn job description.

Camping Field Trip

The lush serenity of the billowing trees beckon outward, inviting people into the mysterious forest with a slight tingle of intrigue. Little is known about this outdoor world, little is known but mystery.

Hello, hello! It’s your headmaster here!

It’s time for our first big event of the year! The camping field trip will kick off on the 20th of March and wind-up on the 3rd of April.

What does this trip entail? Let me explain!

Camping

Yes, I can tell that your shocked by this! The camping field trip does involve camping. But, if you are someone who cannot normally camp - do not despair!

The forest floor in which the camp will be set out is unusually flat this year, a phenomenon that Hulda swears she knows nothing about. The trek itself is not particularly arduous either, which is also quite different from last year  ( let’s be real, we all know that Hulda messed with the track because she didn’t want to miss out - but don’t tell her I told you that ).

Magical Creature Spotting

Our native forest is filled with all sorts of wonders, home to both “normal” creatures and magical creatures and if you’re not from New Zealand - you’re sure to see plenty of creatures you’ve never even heard of!

We’re almost certain to see a few Nuku-mai-tore out here and perhaps even some Pakepakeha ( x x ).

Tramping

On the 27th of March, those who are able are invited to tramp up the mountain - the side that isn’t host to our Commerce and Law Campus, that is. The climb may be a little rocky, so make sure to watch your step and pack plenty of water.

Walking alongside our very own Dr. Hui and Ms. Vita, something...interesting is bound to happen.
