#asuevent003

[harlowtriton]

Harlow didn’t know how she’d wound up at a smelly fraternity party with her parents while they were in town for alumni weekend, yet here she was -- and there they were, on the other side of the room, playing dumb drinking games without her. And her mom was throwing underhand at beerpong, which was so embarrassing she’d gone to the keg to get herself a drink instead. “Are your parents being totally embarrassing too, or is it just mine?” she asked as she whirled around to face the person behind her in line, her beer cup now full.

Hi everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that our next event (asuevent003) will be taking place next weekend, May 4th-6th, in the form of an Alumni Weekend! Many of our character’s parents attended Auradon State University when they were younger, which means this event will be a fun chance to drop in storylines featuring parents on campus.

During alumni weekend, you’re welcome to reference the following events:

Friday, May 4th: Alumni may attend classes, so your students are welcome to mention their parents being in class with them.

Friday, May 4th: Alumni cocktail party with live music. (Although this event is strictly for our NPC alums, if a character wanted to sneak into the party, we wouldn’t object!)

Saturday, May 5th: Receptions at fraternity and sorority houses around campus for graduated brothers and sisters. 

Saturday, May 5th: Mini-fair. Similar to our Valentine’s Carnival, there will be booths, games, and rides set up on Saturday in honor of our returning alumni.

Saturday, May 5th: Cotillion! This event is open to all current ASU students as well as alums, so everyone has a chance to dance the night away and have a good time together.

Sunday, May 6th: Campus tours. For anyone who wants to see the changes made to campus up close since they graduated, there will be guided tours from current students for alums. 

Sunday, May 6th: Farewell barbecue. In the afternoon, there will be a meal out on the lawn served for all alums before they depart for their homes. 

If you have any questions, please let us know! We will post a reminder next weekend when the event begins, but you’re welcome to have your characters start talking about how excited (or not excited) they are to have alumni back on campus for a weekend.

Evangeline could admit that she might have been a little too excited for her parents to be coming to Auradon but she couldn’t help it when it had been months since she had last seen them. Between running around to help Ben set up for the alumni coming and trying to finish up with her finals for school, the young woman could admit she was exhausted, and she knew that having her parents around would be a big help with her relaxing. What she hadn’t been expecting was for them to bring along Louis, Mama Odie and her grandma Eudora, the grin on her face only expanding as she showed them around campus. She hadn’t been paying much attention as she led them to the grounds with all the booths and rides set up, walking backwards and bumping into someone along the way. “Oh! I’m so sorry! Guess momma was right ‘bout lookin’ where I was goin’.” Her accent always came out that much more around her family. “Where are my manners, lemme introduce you...”

Hey guys, just a reminder that it’s not too late to post starters for the alumni weekend event! I know we all had busy weekends and that a lot of people are tied up studying for exams, but we’d love to see more starters over the next few days (through the weekend!) and you can maintain threads as long as you’d like. They can take place at the cotillion, at the fair, at individual fraternity and sorority receptions, or even at the Sunday barbecue. Find a full list of events here, and have fun with asuevent003!

“So what are us parentless suckers supposed to do during this alumni weekend thing?” Vitani asked, glancing off in the direction of the Saturday afternoon fair. “Like, are we still allowed in there, or is it off limits to big bad scary Isle kids?”
