SLEDDING

[goosemods]

SLEDDING

As 4:30 creeps closer, students begin to bundle up and sneak out into the woods behind Azurcrest. It's a new path this time, less well-worn, which leads to a new hill. Perhaps it's not the same dramatic drop as last year, but sledding is sledding!

It takes two hours before Mr. Covington catches them, and many of the rule breakers scatter and escape punishment. Those who stay lose points and earn detention... but at least it's just a forced study hall. You all ought to be preparing for midterms anyway, and Mr. Covington's not so heartless that he'd impede your academic success.

HOW THIS WORKS:

• Anyone who reasonably wouldn’t have stopped this in its infancy is invited, regardless of what house they’re in or whether or not they're a prefect!


• This is against school rules. If your character participates, they are breaking an explicit command by staff.
• However, getting in trouble is opt-in. Comment HERE if you want your character to get in trouble. They must attend a two-hour study hall in the lodge tomorrow after dinner, and they will lose house points, which will contribute to the end of the month House Cup calculations
• There are single-person sleds and two/three-person sleds, most of which were kindly transfigured by other students.


• No alcohol is available this year unless your character brought their own!


• Characters lingering at the bottom of the hill may be randomly informed that a recently rolled sled is about to crash into them. They may dive out of the way or be knocked down like bowling pins.


• Every time you go down the hill, write “SLEDDING, INJURY Y/N” in the subject line of your ic/ooc comment.
  • I’ll then roll on the chart below. If your character wipes out and you answered “Y” to injury, I’ll then roll a second time. There’s a 5% chance of sustaining an injury. If two characters are riding in the same sled, it’ll be a 50/50 chance which one is injured.
  
  
  • Last year was extremely dangerous, but this year the chosen hill isn't as steep, nor is it quite as perilous. Injuries will be limited to bruises, bloodied noses, and maybe a sprain or two.
• You may choose to make it down the hill unscathed, in which case write “PERFECT RIDE” in the subject line.


• There are also smaller hills nearby if your character doesn't want to take the big plunge!


• However, you may not choose to get injured. That can only be obtained by facing the wipeout table.


• Due to how huge this cast is, while characters can go down as many times as they like, if things get too busy we'll only roll two or three for each character. If we start skipping your character because they've gone a bunch of times already, that's why!

CLICK HERE FOR THE WIPEOUT TABLE

1-2	Mystery event. Ooooh~
3-5	Are you dead? You think you might be dead. Guaranteed injury. A second roll will be made to determine your wipeout.
6-15	Hit a tree, and then the branches above you dump copious amounts of snow on your sled.
16-25	Dumped into the stream. You’re now all wet. :(
26-35	Crashed into bushes, and sustained scratches and bruises.
36-42	Dumped off a small ledge and into deep snow. You need help escaping.
43-45	Nearly hit a deer. The deer looked more traumatized than you were.
46-50	Flipped the sled. Teenagers go flying everywhere.
51-53	Your sled hits a small incline over a log buried under the snow, and you go flying gracefully through the air! Once you hit the ground, though, you tumble head over heels into a snowbank. Bruises sustained, and you lost one of your boots.
54-55	Swerved to avoid hitting a bunny and flipped the sled.
56-69	Very rough ride, with several near-misses with low hanging branches and trees that you swear came out of nowhere. Your life flashed before your eyes. Somehow you made it to the bottom in one piece, though.
70-73	Duck! You quickly lie back as a low hanging branch flies over your head. That was a close one!
74-75	Duck! … Ouch, not quick enough! You get a faceful of branch and a bloody nose, and you’re knocked right off your sled.
76-80	Your sled careens out of control, and you (and anyone riding with you) tumble the remaining twenty feet to the bottom of the hill. Bruises sustained.
81-84	Where did that ditch come from??? No one knows, but you’re in it now. Bruises sustained.
85-89	When you reach the bottom of the hill, you realize something is missing… or someone. The person riding in the back of the sled fell off halfway down! (Reroll if solo rider.)
90-91	Perfect ride! Your exhilaratingly fast descent down the hill… went right through where everyone else is trying to climb back up. There was chaos and screaming as your classmates dived out of the way of your careening sled.
92-94	Perfect ride! No one can stop you! You keep going! Oh my god, where are you going?! Come back!!! Your sled has so much momentum, it zips past the finish line, under some bushes, and takes you about 300 ft. into the woods with nothing getting in your way. Walking back is going to be a paaaaaaain.
92-100	Perfect ride! Your exhilaratingly fast descent down the hill set a new record!

» top of the hill: This is where you’re least likely to get hit by an out of control sledder.

» Sledding: If your character is sledding, this is where it happens! Grab a sled and one or two friends, and hold on tight!

» Bottom of the hill: Pull yourself together and climb back up! If your character lingers here, there's a chance that the mod account may inform you that the most recently rolled sled is about to crash into them!

» Did your character get caught?: Comment here if you would like your character to get caught. There will be IC consequences.

OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[colemoss]

So excited! And also so proud of Spencer for his reasonable hill choices~

OH. AND. I won’t be around a lot until after work (except during my lunch break soooon), but Heathcliff and Cole are here if anyone wants them. I’m assuming that nobody told Casper and Lachlan is keeping his nose in a book. Sorry, fun friends!

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

I realized just yesterday that Jeffy hadn't been born yet for last year's sledding, so this is an exciting time for everyone involved.

OH YEAH ALSO Jeffy, Dinah and Riley are definitely here for sledding. Austin will probably hang out at the bottom of the hill and hopefully get wiped out. Today doesn't seem like a crazy busy day at work, though I guess I could do like...... real life Christmas things instead.... but YOU KNOW WHATEVER, HMU IF YOU WANNA SLED SOME SHIT.

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[iliya]

ALL OF MY CHARACTERS except Sy are available for sledding, if anyone wants them??? Yes, I realized my only responsible character is Sy, of all people. This is tragic. Maybe he'll walk by and realize all the other Quid captains are on the damn hill >:(

i have a bunch of work to do but i'll try to throw up open posts later maybe

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[racingstripe]

Sy has to go to the library and make sure his sister doesn't fall down a study hole and throw Ribbonfin into disarray again

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[ulixes]

sy is trying so hard to be good :(( he deserves nice things unlike some other captains i won't name

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[ferdie]

What I realized yesterday is that LAST year I had one character willing to sled and now I have like
Three to four
And they steadily got shittier
The moral of this story is stick with 2 characters and also Ira and Jade and Tuesday are available.
Addy...felt bad about last year so won’t do it this year, but she handed off a customized bruise paste to a volunteercrest this morning, looking wistful

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[heresie]

Todd respects Ira's need to fly solo on his first run but can they go together after that??

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[magitechnically]

I would v much enjoy a run with Essie and her fake bff at some point!!!

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[bitterlysweet]

If anyone wants Spencer or Archie, they're definitely here! Reid, Calvin and Kenzie I'm.... not totally sure about? But if someone wants some time with them I can justify their presence!

Spencer desperately tried pressuring all his roommates and acquaintances into showing up and having FUN!!!

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[stclair]

how susceptible is calvin to peer pressure :) :) :)

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[magitechnically]

UGH. Essie is the only one of mine that is 100% definitely here. There is no idea that is a bad idea to Essie. She will be obnoxiously encouraging about attending even though she broke her wrist last year, whoops. Pear and/or Ursula could maybe appear, idk.

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[racingstripe]

I'm just going to go ahead and do a sledding comment for Jeffy and Essie like the two very good friends they are. Y or N to injuring our sweet babies?

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[bubblewrapped]

It's Lucas, Griffin and Yancey here today of mine. Griffin and Yancey will sled with others if anyone wants them. If any of Lucas' braver friends could pester him into riding I would appreciate it. He needs it. I think Essie's going to bully him into going down at least once with her?

Nia is pretending she has no clue and Nisha is making sure that everyone SEES HER IN THE LIBRARY so she for sure cannot get in trouble.

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[odder]

I propose a Junior Jay Death Run, comprised of as many sleds as necessary

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[magitechnically]

i'm so glad that essie and bully appear in the same sentence so often.

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[stclair]

i just want nisha to know how much sy appreciates her dedication to not getting in trouble :((( my very good bad daughter

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[sheepish]

i want yennis to sled :( ennis is salty about getting caught last year after not even sledding, so he's like "FUCK IT, IF I'M GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE ANYWAY I MIGHT AS WELL SLED."

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[lilwitchhazel]

Hazel is here!! And Jaime... might be, I'm actually trying to decide how good he's being :,) but my dumb girl is ready to sled a few times and will be happy to use her fancy healer skills for minor cuts/bruises if you want some moderately acceptable bedside manner healing 😘

Like katie I won't realllly be around until after work, but iluuuuu

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[ulixes]

i'm here!!! almost!!! on the bus home lol

my sledders are marie, tobias, and gooseberry' worst captain, ulysses. since cash is keyed in, he might watch from the sidelines. zach is blissfully ignorant!!! don't ruin this for him by getting hurt!!!!!!! hmu if you wanna do a scene or whatever

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[quickbuck]

Todd, Tally, and Clem are here and ready to sled!!!

Ari could be talked into it by friends but is probably off studying if left to her own devices.

Reece is gonna chew everyone out about this later today so prepare for histrionics :c

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!

[odder]

Ariadne don’t you dare study

Re: OOC ❄️ Questions, comments, concerns!
