Starshine Whilst she had a bond with the alien bracelet that gave her power, Rosalind didn’t always understand what it was trying to say. So whilst technically she had a few moment's warning of what was going to happen, she hadn’t been able to figure out the meaning of its frantic clicks and bleeps before they were whisked away to Neverland. Not that it helped with the rather sweeping running of events and she fiddled with the strap of the dungarees as she gathered her senses. Only she could feel self-conscious wearing her uniform in a school for supers, choosing to wear it under her dungarees as if it somehow made it a little less cringe-worthy. “My best guess is that some cosmic trickster…” it was hard to remember which, there were so many “… has either taken us back in time or dumped us in a Kurosawa film! All in all, it is not good, glowing powers do not make for a stealthy approach!”

Starshine Starshine tried, with various degrees of success, not to show off too often but she figured in this one very specific circumstance it was worth it to get Rot’s attention. So with a quick check that they were clear of obstacles, she began to fly facing Consuelo just slightly above the other teen's speed. “I know it took me a while to work it out but sometimes you need to consider the activity of Freedom itself. We need to take a slight detour so we don’t spook Carter and Kendra, the hawks that keep the runways clear of birds…” She’d remembered a school trip, which seemed like a thousand years ago, where she was very excited to meet the birds of prey. She took her bearings a gestured emphatically in one direction “If we go that way we’ll only add a few minutes with the added bonus of not causing a kerfuffle with the winged beasties!”

Starshine Rosalind was normally a morning person, but she’d been burning the midnight oil to get a good head start on her studies. So a little bleary-eyed she’d answered the door in an oversized Freedom League T-shirt her hair a massive of red fuzz. She’d realised a smidge too late quite what a mess she must have looked like right now, still it was too late now and besides people had seen her look much rougher here. “Oh right good morning Consuelo, and Rosalind please…” she tried to lean nonchalantly revealing the Bracelet that she couldn’t help but wear, despite many attempts Rosie was probably going to stick “Will need me a few minutes to get ready, but now’s a good a time as any!”

Starshine Having been a hero for a couple of years, mostly here to be fair, she was fairly used to chaotic scenes. With a quick breath, she juggled everything that she needed to deal with right now. First, she tucked the card into a safe place, as fun as scientific adventures would be it wouldn’t be today. With a smile she offered a cookie to the newcomer, heaven knows what she’d think about all this. “It’s not normally quite so crazy around here! Let us know if you need a hand with things, I’m stronger than I look and my friend here can offer many, many, hands!” As she spoke she slipped on the friendship bracelet, despite the protests of The Bracelet, which may be because of her or the bracelet (she could never tell) but her aura glowed a deep purple. “Hopefully It won’t do that when we meet your parents…” she smiled at Rot “… because I’ll be more than happy to help out!”

Some strange event has occurred and you wake up to find yourself as the hero of a fairy/folk tale, not only that but all the other characters in the tale are people you know (who may or may not be the real people depending on the tale) and the big bad of the story is a supervillain you have some (however vague) connection with. Whether the tale is more like a Grimm tale, a cleaned-up Victorian version, or even those animated movies from a company we dare not name… is up to you, as if you play along with the tale or try and throw a spanner into the tales. Once the story reaches its natural end you’ll wake up to find your friends and family back to normal with only a vague memory of what happened. The definition of a fairy/folk tale has been left deliberately vague to include older media that might fit that mode, as a rough guide if it’s a public domain tale then suitable for use, though they should roughly be in a fairy/folk tale style of story (or reshaped to fit the style). Why this has happened is a tale for another time... Your fairy stories should be posted no later than the 31st January 2023. (As a reminder, vignettes follow the same general rules as posts in terms of content, player character limits, and so on. You may have only one vignette per player character. Each vignette should be at least one page (~500 words) in length; if posted in your thread counts at the end of the month, it is worth 1pp for the associated character. An especially long vignette, 1000 words or more, may be worth up to 2pp. Multiple players can collaborate on a single vignette - we recommend Google Docs for this, it's very useful - but the vignette should be about one page per participating player.)

Starshine Rosalind listened to the newcomer with some interest, it was always cool to come across people with powers however weird and wonderful. She often had to remind herself that she had power, or a little chirp would remind her instead. “How bad exactly? Because my bracelets project and energy field so we might be able to touch, without touching…” she held up her free arm and the bracelet projected a subtly yellow field along her arm and hand “… I mean if you want, not right this moment obviously. We’re not talking zero to full hugs straight away, um I’m going to stand back here and let you get settled in…!” she suddenly felt a little self-conscious she’d maybe be a little too forward.

Starshine Rosalind had been telling about her holiday back in Greece, with an almost exciting encounter with some European supers, when everything started kicking about. She’d been pretty distracted last year, and apparently missed some drama, she’d have to try and catch up what with her being Senior and all! The Braclet’s chripped what apparently a warning about the newcomer, though Rosalind decided to ignore it this time around. “No, she seems nice!” she whispered to the Bracelet before floating forward and offering the slightly diminished tray of cookies. “Hi, nice to meet you have a cookie!”

Starshine Moving In – Girls (1)

There was a smell of baked goods as a figure bathed in light descended from the skylight, normally kept open for days like this. Luckily the glow of light allowed Rosalind to look a lot more confident than she felt as the hero… Starshine “Grannie insisted I bring a fresh batch of cookies, be careful they’re straight out of the oven.” floating just above the floor she offered around the massive platter of crescent-shaped cookies “There κουραμπιέδες, butter cookies, though no almonds in this batch though just in case!” A new year and new start needed baked goods was always Granny's way of thinking, and had insisted Rosalind delivered the cookies before all the important stuff like her books and clothes. But then again her house was mere minutes away at her top speed!

Name: Rosalind Sommaripa Codename: Starshine Year: Senior Pronouns: She/her Current Intramural Team: - Current Roommate: Bernadette O’Connell (Multi-Girl) Reflection: To be more assertive, I think, though not to be pushy or anything... Independent Thinker:

Starshine “I’m afraid which such a low turnout…” not that she blamed anyone “...everyone’s going to have to pitch in…” except herself, being the director had to at least have one benefit. At least she didn’t have to worry about there being no woman here, a disturbing number of superhero plays seemed to be a boys-only club. Not she mused proudly, trying to convince anyone on her floor to try out. Rosalind shook her head to recover her poise after her protracted chain of thought, heaven forbid what everyone else thought of her spacing out. “Anyway in your own time...”

Starshine Rosalind finally let out a breath and slumped in her seat as people finally turned up. She should have remembered than then you gave a time that was when people would start turning up, not fifteen miutes early as not to suffer the embarrassment of being late and everyone already being ready and you not knowing what you missed! But maybe that was just her? Gathering herself up, she adopted the proper manner of a director, acting the part if you will. “Yes, yes I’m in charge for my sins! I guess we’ll start with people showing there acting chops, form yourself up and each give me a short piece if you please.” Oh hey maybe she could pull this off, as long as nothing else went wrong...

Starshine Despite her best efforts Rosalind was a natural worrier, she didn’t want to do all this but that didn’t mean she wanted it all the fail... “Maybe I could do a solo show, like the Liberty Monologes?” she mused to herself “I mean I don’t have to worry about lighting with my powers... and I can work the curtain with my feet!” she slumped, this was going to be a disaster. Still after a few more, infuriating minutes, she could call this a bust and go do something less stressful. Hopefully superhero groups didn’t check references it would suck to be denied onto the League beause she failed a theature credit...

Leonard Fox Auditorium, Claremont Academy Rosalind Sommaripa, reluctant director Roselind mused she had a special kind of luck, the ability to be at the right place at the wrong time. An offhanded comment that they put on a play this year for the parents, had fallen on the ears of an enthusiastic teacher. It ended up with her even meeting with the Headmistress with promises of extra credits for the idiot that would run the whole show, that idiot being her! So sitting in the auditorium, waiting for both whoever had been roped into helping and those who wanted to audition, she wondered what play they should pick. Worrying that she should have already decided this, if not the whole thing had been a little bit of a whirl since she’d mentioned the idea. Currently, she was flip-flopping between One with the Night and Centurion (if she only had a few shows up), at least they should have an advantage with the special effects...

Maddie Madrigal The sensible thing would have been to gently sip the drink, to get used to the tastes before delving into the deeper depths of taste sensation. Maddie wasn’t on to go into any challenge half hearted, kinocking back the drink and shivering at the burst of tastes on her tongue. It was like a bing blind and then suddenly seeing everything in minutes details. “Another, please!” more than that and she’d probably have to work off the energy for the rest of the day “I am from a place I believe is called here Terminus, not as exciting as this place called Denver I’m sure!” she felt clever at her attempts to include this new person in her conversations, it was still weird to have to deal with people as equals but she really was trying.

Maddie Madrigal This world was already confusing enough, but no it offered even more choices! If she had not been bought up to be a stoic at all time she might give a wail of despair. Still there was also so much new and exciting things to experience, she just had to take the first steps. “Growing up my mother thought that to be the best warrior I should eat on the gruel that they feed the servants and drones upon.” she explained in a matter of fact way “Though sometime the kitchen staff would allow me to eat some gel cubes, they tasted no better but at least they had a pleasant texture. They had a color not unlike this one, so that is the one I shall try!” She pointed to the green colored liquid not knowing what she was about to experience!

Maddie Madrigal So many people was somewhat overwhelming to someone used to quiet chambers of her home, so Maddie looked for somewhere a little less in the action. Whilst a few were gathered around the merchants booth seemed to be a little less hectic. Making her way to the booth she got out what she figured was the correct amount to pay for the refreshments. “I wish to sample one of your drinks…” her voice was booming, an advantage in the noise and bustle “...but I am new to this place and know any of these flavours! What would you recommend as a suitable refreshment?”

Summer been a little crazy for us all and we've fallen a little behind, so apologies to everyone for our failings.

Maddie Madrigal Maddie knew nothing of the chaos ahead of her as she wandered through the gate of Claremont, waving goodbye to the driver that had bought her from the temporary quarters the league had provided her with. She hoped she hadn’t given the driver too much of what apparently called a “tip”, all the little bit of paper considered currency here all looked the same to her. Really this whole world was strange to her, the sky was the wrong colour and distinctly lacked any floating island. And that was just the first of a thousand sights, sounds, and smells that made this world just seem so… alive. Talking of such things there seemed to be a mass of students around what she figured was probably their trainers. She had no problem seeing what was going on, at almost 6ft Maddie could look over the top of many of the students, but for now, she had no idea what this was all about. Maybe it was some form of training exercise?

Claremont Academy ~9 am, 1st August 2022 Being one of the premium schools for superhero teens in America, if not the world, Claremont had one of the most impressive computer system money and tech heroes could provide. But it wasn’t perfect and today of all day the system had mysteriously crashed, rumours were currently running amok with no theory quite winning out yet. That didn’t help for the students, new and old that had turned up to settle into their new (or old) dorm rooms. With no records available right now two poor interns had been roped in to do an ad-hoc organization of room for now. Smartly they’d also roped in a few of the older students to help guide the new students to what rooms worked for now. Tomorrow things might change, but for now, a general make-do method was doing the rounds of those directing students around.

(Remember we are a relatively family friendly site. Your story should be PG-13 at most.

GM Post As Copycat spoke Persephone face was neutral, looking to all the world like one of the Ancient Greek statue. When she finished there was a pause then her face broke into a smile, like the sun through the clouds on a spring morning. “You gift if greatly appreciated, and far to generous for our humble gathering.” with some grace she handed the gift to an assistance that seemed to appear at her side as she turned. “My family has had some issues with you kind, but I hope that this will in some way make up for past mistakes.” that last part was obviously as much to the rest of the crowd as just Copycat. She gently touched the heroes arm that was like the most sensual massage, if only for a few seconds. “Now if you’ll excuse me I need to mingle with the other guest, I’m sure we’ll meet again after all I need to repay you for the gift...”

GM Post The portal shimmered and out stepped a literal Greek Goddess, the fresh faced goddess of the Spring Persephone. Unlike some of the impressive gown other were wearing she was dressed in a sharp pin-stripped suit, it was however excellent cut and from one of the most popular Italian designers. Her only flourish was a garland of spring flowers, all obviously out of season for this equinox. “My husband is unfortunately detained by important business, so I am here to welcome you all to this Gala.” There was no spectacular effect when she threw her arms out in welcome, but she still had a commanding presence of a goddess of her status. She then spoke an Ancient Greek passage, the promise that all guests would be free of any threats of harm, the sin that led to Lycaon being sent to Tartarus. “Eat, drink and enjoy yourselves with the dawn you will all be able to leave freely without harm.”
