April Activity Check

[magicademymods]

April Activity Check Welcome to the April activity check for Diatu Magicademy! A reminder of our rules: You must provide one log thread with at least 5 comments from your character. You must provide either an additional log thread with at least 5 comments from your character, or a network thread with at least 10 comments from your character. If you have some activity during the month, but not enough to pass AC, you may request a strike. To clear the strike, you must provide double activity the subsequent month. Activity is valid for posts made between the close of applications in April and the close of applications in May -- so this month, any activity made between April 3rd and 8 PM Eastern time, Wednesday, May 1st. Activity must be submitted by Saturday, May 4th at 8 PM Eastern time. Also, as a reminder, the results of your Actions will be posted as a response to your activity check. If you haven't chosen any, you have until AC closes to do so. New Rule: For rewards for playing out the consequences of Research on the Sundered threads, please link to them here.

Cliff's efforts at Forging have resulted in:

An Item of Power: A Perfect Tool. The first item a serious Forger makes is a tool that will not slip, catch, miss, or otherwise fail to perform. Select one tool to gain these qualities; it is something Cliff has successfully made.

Isabel's efforts at studying her Item of Power have resulted in the following upgrade:

The Musical Force Projector (Upgraded)

A bizarre item that blends or rather confuses Fantastics, Discovery, and Thaumaturgy, the Musical Force Projector is exactly as it sounds. This bracelet, when worn, can project force in various ways -- a line, a shield, a wall -- so long as its wearer is directing its magic through a song of some sort. If the wearer's voice falters, so too do the effects, but it stays strong for as long as its wielder can do the same. When used by Isabel, the bracelet can project force in response to any music nearby; she does not need to continuously sing if another source is available.

V and Sho do not have enough activity. With the whole adventures thing, and waiting to see what was going on with that I dropped the ball and did not have as much activity as I thought. So I need to take a strike. (And somehow do double activity for both of them in a month that I'll be spending half of at Disney, lol. That'll be.... interesting.)

[magicademymods]

Recognizing our own culpability in these delays, we will not enforce the double requirement for those two in the upcoming month.

I have some AC for Lys (this post from april 18th, tagged through to april 25th) but as it would still fall short of AC reqs + I'd appreciate the boot-in-the-ass motivation of needing to make double AC in May, I would like to request a strike!

[magicademymods]

Strike granted.

We did not receive an activity submission for Lys for April. You may submit one now or receive generic benefits.
