Welcome to Gaia! ::

Student Dormitories: Amityville offers mandatory on-campus housing for all students, divided up by their race (Demon, Ghost, Undead, Reaper, or Monster). Go here for more information!
Open for RP: Yes! Everything in the student dorms may be freely accessed by students.

Classrooms: Amityville offers a number of different courses, each taught by one of their esteemed faculty. All courses are held here.
Open for RP: Students must sign up for field classes (open RP classes that run 'live' at a specific time) in order to take them. Check the Classrooms subforum to see what classes are open!

Open Class Locations: Open classes are self-service, and can be run at any time. Go here for detailed information and instructions!
Open for RP: Yes, but you cannot RP in an open class location without doing that class at the same time. I.E. you can't just go hang out on the Thunder Road without doing the Thunder Road course!

The Gymnasium: The only place on campus where students can spar and otherwise do battle, the Gymnasium is a popular spot for those with a yen to fight, a desire for vengeance, or who just really like the smell of sweaty socks. Go here for more information!
Open for RP: Yes, but be sure to read the informational stickies first!

The Haunted Corridor: This isn't a real place... is it? Well, in case you happen to run into it, make sure you read the information here before doing anything else.
Open for RP: Yes, but be sure to read the informational stickies first!

The Creepateria: Run by Lunch Lady Ginger, the Creepateria offers a variety of delicious(?) food for all students to enjoy. What's it like? It's... a school cafeteria. Even in Halloween, some things don't change.
Open for RP: Yes! Just don't go in the kitchen.

The Library: Librarians Avery Chase and Hayden Simmons keep the Amityville Library neat and organized. Go here for more information!
Open for RP: Yes - you can use the Library itself as a setting for your RPs, but please don't post in the actual Library thread unless you're trying to contact one of the librarians.

The Auditorium: It's a school auditorium like any other. Events like school dances, school plays, etc. are often held in this space.
Open for RP: Yes, but it's pretty boring when there's no events being held there, so we're not sure why you'd want to...

Staff & Faculty Offices: Amityville's faculty and staff keep offices all around campus. Their office threads are stickied in the Classrooms subforum!
Open for RP: You can initiate RP with staff/faculty characters according to the rules in each character's individual thread; however, you cannot just RP inside their office without prior permission from the GMs.

The Nurse's Office: Nurse Cricket's office is where you go when you die. Or if you just get injured. Or whatever.
Open for RP: Yes, but read the rules first! The Nurse's Office is also the campus respawn point for characters who 'die'. Dice-rolling information for respawning characters can be found here.

The Co-Ed Bathroom: This terrible bathroom is the home of the Horsemen. Disturb them at your own risk!
Open for RP: Not unless you're a Horseman! Read the rules in that thread to find out what's going on with the Horsemen at any given time, and how to contact them for play.

The Groundskeeper's Shack: A ramshackle shack near the edge of the Weeping Forest, belonging to one Groundskeeper Breck. It's locked up tight, and while you can hear creepy noises from inside, you can't get in no matter what you do.
Open for RP: You can putter around the outside if you'd like, but you can't go in. Sorry!

The Waste Disposal Facility: A surprisingly large, unsurprisingly ugly warehouse on the far edge of campus, sitting in a bare patch of earth near the Weeping Forest. Garbage goes here, as does the school janitor.
Open for RP: Anyone can sneak around the outside; inside is only for Trashology 101 students.

AMITYVILLE: WHAT LIES BENEATH:



The Locker Rooms: During off hours, when the secretary is missing from his office, students can sneak in, and discover the Secret Locker Rooms. It is a large cavern, full of lockers. Some are already open, some are still locked, others will not be open unless students call out the locker's names. These locker rooms are two rows of lockers.

- For students who participated in DEFENDERS PART 1, they may open their lockers. Inside is a time capsule, a small box containing items that those students who participated in Trance have access to. That means if you were in Trance as Past Disposable Bob in Defenders 1, your current day student who watched that Trance now has access to Past Disposable Bob's time capsule items!

- ANYONE is free to rp in this setting as long as they know the location to the locker rooms. A PRP taking place in this setting/ discovering what they need is fine.

The Altar: A little further past the locker rooms is a trap door.

THE KEY: You will need to follow a student with a KEY for the trap door. Those without a key cannot progress further. Those who do will find themselves in a dark, dim room, with a single monument inside:

The water on top however, is entirely solid.

THE VIAL: If any students have a VIAL, it shimmers, glowing stronger as it reaches the altar, and then suddenly, the top changes forms, unsealing itself. It can now be opened. They may POUR A DROP inside the altar. This causes the altar water to change, turn liquid again. HOWEVER, it is corrosive to the touch, anything of Fear will MELT as it touches the water. This vial ONLY HAS a max of 10 uses per vial, for any IC situation.

THE CHALICE: Only students with a CHALICE can pick up the water. Or rather, the chalice is able to contain the water, to drink, or to be used. Only water INSIDE the chalice is non corrosive, otherwise the WATER WILL BURN OTHERS. That means yes, the water can only be used with the chalice, but there is no water unless you have a vial.

The Water Properties: Upon properly being splashed with/ drinking the water using the PROPER rituals (vial + chalice), Students will be instantly healed of all wounds, other than old ones (ie: missing limbs, etc). They will temporarily not feel the effects of Insanity (IC + OOC 24 hours) , or be cured of status afflictions.

The water can also grant them access through Deus Ex's barrier, though entering alone is extremely risky, and even once inside, if they find a portal, there is no guarantee they will head out...(This option is for plotting/ plot submissions ONLY). It will also grant them for OOC AND IC 24 hours MAX, immunity to the lowest class of Runic Weapons. Please note at the bottom of OOC if you are using this so others know.

You can only access these properties if you RP IT OUT. After that for the next OOC AND IC 24 hours, the effects will take place, however you want to rp it. After that, the effects are GONE.
