Bulletin Board

[ArianaBlack]

On the wall directly to the left of Professor Schmoe's door sits a plain bulletin board. Pinned to it you will find notices for upcoming lessons, homework assignments, and important announcements from your Professor. Finneas also keeps a "Post-It" on the right corner of the board with a "pun of the week". Ho, ho, ho. So many exciting things to look forward to.

Don't miss out on any announcements (or puns), be sure to check here frequently.

OOC: This is NOT a RP thread. It is only to be used by me, ArianaBlack, or other School Staff if necessary. Thanks.

Long Term Assignment | Babycare: The Muggle Way.

Head to the Muggle Studies Classroom to BEGIN!


Below are general instructions for the assignment, you can find further instructions in the phase one thread.

Quote:

IC Instructions

• Each student (or pair, if choosing to co-parent) will receive one baby doll to take care of over the course of the next 3 months & 1 baby bag containing all the essentials for babycare
• What to know about the dolls? With the aid of technology, the dolls have been programed to dirty nappies, need burping, sleep, get hungry, cry, etc. They have a mechanism that records all sounds and a way to alert your Professor should you think to take the doll apart in search of the recorder. The babies behave in a way that mirrors real children, and they respond to love and affection accordingly. They do not like to be left alone and are rather fragile.
• What’s in the baby bag? Nappies, bottles, dummy/pacifier, baby food, baby powder, wipes and flannels, etc.
• Over the course of the next 3 months, you must take your baby with you at all times. Take care to treat it with love (aka feeding it when hungry, burping it when needing a burp, soothing it when it cries, etc). You will be asked to check in with your Professor periodically on the status of your baby. By the end of the 3 month period you will be given a grade based upon how you treated your baby, the baby’s final physical state, and your overall effort in the assignment.

OOC Instructions

• This long-term assignment will have 3 distinct phases that can be sequentially completed at any time. This means that you cannot move to phase 2 until you have completed phase 1. You cannot move to phase 3 until you have completed phase 2. For each phase a seperate thread will be made (ex. THIS thread is for PHASE 1). If you can’t jump in right when the thread opens, don’t fret! ALL threads will stay open until the final day of the assignment (March 26 2020).
• For each phase of the assignment, you will simply have to post your character within the thread. I will post Finneas interacting with your character, which will in turn, be a short RP where he will ask questions or ask them to complete a simple task.
• For the second and third phase, you will be required to provide 1 link to an outside RP in which the baby doll is mentioned, being taken care of, or used.
  

  While I’m only requiring that you mention the doll in 2 RPs for the sake of the assignment, this could be such a fun opportunity if you’d like to take heed of it and use it for your own plotting purposes! Kid running his own babysitting business as a whole new way of paying a dude to do your homework? Bringing your child to class? Taking them on a casual stroll? HELP--I lost my child in the great lake! …… Lots of fun opportunities! If you can’t think of any come poke me and we can brainstorm together ^^

• I will unlock the phase 2 & phase 3 threads once a few people have gone through phase 1 in order to stagger things. I’ll post notices on the noticeboard so you know when the threads have been opened!
  
  This assignment will last until MARCH 26 @ 10 PM EST (gmt-5)
  

* Please note that the threads for PHASE TWO and PHASE THREE are not up yet. I will be staggering these threads as people begin to complete PHASE ONE.
