Q: What is the Twitter Feed? A: The twitter feed is basically Metric’s gossip blog. It’s run by an anonymous user who goes by Campus Sweetheart. No one knows who this person is, but whoever they are, they must be attending Metric at either the High School or College Level. The things said on the Twitter feed vary in terms of authenticity, but everything that is said on the Twitter feed exists to cause drama. Characters may reference the Twitter feed either in the IC cbox or in in-character posts.

Gossip Twitter is run by Kenzie and any gossip requests may be PMed to her. She will add them to the Twitter feed when applicable.

Q: What is the IC Cbox?: A: The IC cbox is basically like the regular cbox, except all posts must be in character on it.

Q: What is the plotbox?: A: The plotbox is like the chatting cbox except reserved for plotting. This way people can plot things among one another while also leaving the chatbox open for regular conversation. Please take plots/gushing about RPs to plotbox if other people pop on the cbox, this way both conversations can carry on and no one will be dwarfed.

Q: What is the Ghost rumor for?: A: The ghost rumor started on the original forum, inspired for Halloween and horror themed roleplays. You may use the legend of the Powell family to your hearts content for spooky type roleplays, though keep in mind writer Pierce has created a character for one of the Powell children .

Please PM Kenzie if you think there’s anything else that should be mentioned in this sidebar.

||Vinny's Clothing/ the Outfit Silas appears in||

Intro for|| pierce

He wasn't quite sure why he had let Clare talk him into this, but then again it wasn't as if he really had anything better to do. Besides, this was a chance to just hang out with her and get to know her better. At first the suggestion of them meeting in the forest came up but Vinny wasn't exactly too keen on being somewhere where one wrong move and he could get a scrape or worse. And Vinny did not feel like taking a trip to the hospital any time soon.

So instead they settled for meeting in one of the classrooms after hours. It would be relatively quiet and they always had the option of turning on the lights if they had to. Plus it wouldn't be too difficult to run back to the housing if they were to decide it was time to get back. The classroom in question was already empty by the time Vinny got there so he just decided to set his things in the corner.

~||~

The evening was just beginning and Silas had a relatively full schedule of things to do. Scare some kids walking back to their dorms, undo all those pesky messages Calvin kept on leaving behind, pull some pranks of his own, and maybe if he felt like actually staying on the campus grounds for a little longer he might hang around that theatre of theirs.

At the moment he was waiting for things to get dark, so he was leaning against a tree near the edge of Metric's campus. The students and faculty milled about as their day ended and a scowl crept its way unto Silas' lips. This school had caused him so much grief the entirety of his mortal existence and now it was just an annoying pain in his side.

Clare outfit

Clare was just a little too excited to get some spooky stuff going, after finding a mysterious Ouija board in her attic at home. She immediately called around to see who would be game and went with the first person who didn't technically say no. Vinny would definitely be fun to conjure up some spirits with, she was certain! Of course, she'd wanted to get as spooky as possible and play under the same tree that Silas Powell hung himself – but Vinny didn't go for that, so she compromised with him. At least they'd be on campus!

She arrived a little late, having to make excuses for her departure and fibbing about a late band practice. Well, as far as she was concerned it could turn in to a jam session! Clare would never leave Dex at home, even if the board game was a little hefty to carry. Hastily walking, she finally made it to the room about ten or so minutes after the agreed upon time. Clare opened the door and upon seeing Vinny, beamed a bright smile and skipped over to give him a tight hug. “I'm sorry I'm late! It was so crazy trying to talk my way out of my house tonight since my dad was actually home. Living with a detective can be difficult! Anyway, are you ready to get in touch with the ~outer limits~?” She asked in a low and semi-haunting voice, following it up with a little chuckle. “This is gonna be so fun!”

It was a usual night for Calvin. He liked the quiet of the Metric library after hours, so that's exactly where is roaming – sifting through the most checked out books and scratching in clues of his body's whereabouts. He didn't know how or why most of his messages were getting erased and blacked out, but he figured it was the librarians. If it were any other situation, he wouldn't be defacing Metric's property, but the afterlife was much more interesting when the living took interest. He watched as the librarians packed up and began their processes of closing, his favorite time. To get back at them he'd switch around their attempts at organizing once they left – then he'd meander through the hallways and consider the art on display.

Tonight he was in high spirits, not bogged down by the usual contemplations that he'd been doomed to revisit and mull over. No, tonight was different. The air seemed lighter, in a way, and Calvin moved through the doors with a satisfied expression. The night was so young, and there was much havoc to supply.

Being in a room all by himself when there was no one else around was one of the oddest feelings he had encountered. Perhaps it was the prospect of what they were to do in this room, or maybe it was the legend and the rumors that had floated around the school but somehow it seemed as if he wasn't truly alone. Of course it could also have been his imagination.

Vinny ended up pacing back and forth, trying to come up with ways to distract himself while he waited for Clare to arrive. It was when he heard the door open that he turned, at first not knowing what to expect. But it was Clare, so he smiled widely and waved at her in greeting. She, though, came right over and hugged him tightly which he wasn't exactly opposed to so he returned it.

"It's quite alright. I can sort of sympathize with that." He chuckled then ran a hand through his hair. "I suppose I am ready. I've never actually done anything like this before, so.. I will have to take your word for how fun this is going to be."

~||~

After a few minutes Silas decided he had waited enough and he moved across the campus grounds towards the large building. As he passed by a lone student he could not resist the urge to knock the books out of the boy's hands. Watching the confusing and slight fright on the teenager's face caused him to smirk in amusement. That was the first of many activities he had to keep himself busy all night.

Passing through the doors, Silas pondered where to go first. After all, he did have all night so he could in theory take his time. However he was certain he was not alone on the campus. More than likely his son was lurking around here somewhere. So perhaps it would indeed be best if Silas just got everything over with.

Having had the years to learn his way around, Silas easily began to make his way towards Metric's library. His first order of business was to go through the books as usual.

Clare could sense his nervousness, it practically radiated off of him! It was so precious! "Well I wouldn't steer you wrong buddy! You don't need to be worried or anything, I promise." she grinned in consolation - strolling over to the front most desk and emptying her backpack. The Ouija board came out first, then Dex, then a couple of water bottles wrapped in a sweater. She definitely didn't want to get Dex wet!

"You should do the honors, get acquainted with the game - open it up, get a feel for it. I'll play a little moooood music while you do~" Clare ended in a spooky tone, picking the game up bouncing it over to him before twirling back around and switching on Dex. It was already on an organ setting, which was intentional. She played a haunting melody, humming lowly with it, unable to keep the grin from her face.

Calvin breezed through the corridors, not necessarily looking for living beings to mess with but finding them nonetheless. Two girls stood beside a room, chatting about an assignment. He lingered over them, passively listening to their conversation until they agreed that it was much too cold inside the building and left. Moving along, he contemplated the drawings that lined the walls. One in particular caught his eye and he was determined to make a few changes to it.

He passed through a classroom door and maneuvered through the darkened room until he found a charcoal pencil. Calvin dropped it, rolling it under the door and picking it up on the other side - brandishing it in front of him as he looked at the drawing again, making several marks that were destined to be there.
When he finished he just dropped the pencil again and abandoned it, continuing down the hallway until he noticed the lit room.

Curious, he entered and was delighted to be greeted by the music that the girl was playing. Calvin quickly recognized the box that the boy was handling and a surge of excitement filled him. If they were about to get to some spirit summoning they definitely came to the right place at the right time! He would make sure to make it worth their while, as well as get some good scares to boot.

The box was heavier than he anticipated. He had assumed that a simple wooden board wouldn't weigh as much as it did. But then again, looks could be deceiving. The silence that followed was nearly unbearable and he began to whistle, not able to hide how nervous he still was. Clare's words might have been a touch comforting but they still did not do much to sway him. Still, things certainly didn't feel so odd now that he wasn't alone.

Vinny chose a desk and set the box down, carefully opening it and taking a moment to just look the boar over. He had only really seen these kinds of boards in movies and tv shows. It was eerie to see one in real life, touch one, use one. The music started up just as he touched the board and he jumped, a small squeak escaping the back of his throat. Apparently he hadn't heard the part where she was going to be playing music.

"Clare.." he cleared his throat and forced a laugh. "You startled me!" He shook his head and removed the board from its box, gingerly closing his hand around the triangular piece--he had never learned what it was called. Sitting down at a desk he set up the board and sat there staring at the thing for a moment. Looking across the room to Clare, he shivered. Was there a breeze in the room? No, the windows were closed and besides it was more than likely his imagination.

Hesitantly, slowly, he reached out and placed his fingers on the boardpiece.

The business in the library was not too difficult. The books he had learned to go through were usually the ones that were checked out more than others. Silas understood the logic behind it, but no he did not appreciate it. The notes and clues this time seemed to be written in pen, so Silas found one of those 'sharpies' the librarians had. More than likely it was for writing the labels. It took him a moment to concentrate enough so that he could manipulate the marker but once he had a grip on it he went through and blacked out the markings. There were some other crude drawings stuck in the pages that Silas could only assume students had scribbled inside. he blacked those out as well.

Once he was sure he had gotten all that had been left behind, he left the library. But not before he left the chairs all stacked on the tables. The thought of those librarians returning in the morning to that display made him laugh. Now, what other mischief could he get into? Defacing some of the artwork on display in the halls? No, seemed much too juvenile. He could go to the theatre and mess with the set the drama group was putting together. He was thinking... Red paint everywhere. Yes, that could be quite entertaining.

He roamed down the hallways, pausing once the sound of music reached his ears. Who was playing music at this hour, when the rest of the campus was empty? And why did it sound like the type of music people played at Halloween? That holiday wasn't for another several months! He could tell, by the foliage and the flowers that were in bloom. His curiosity peaked, Silas deterred from his original objective and followed the melody to a lit classroom. He hovered by the door, peeking in through that small piece of glass they called a window.

It was a couple of kids. One was playing some sort of piano-looking thing from where the music emanated. The other sat at a desk with one of those.. boards. Silas knew full well what it was: kids liked to use it at the site of his death. He never partook in the activity, really. Calvin seemed to be the one that enjoyed doing that. But.. the thought of scaring these children proved much too tempting. He decided to wait until the board was actually in use before making an 'appearance', not knowing his son was already there.
