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 August and the close of applications in September -- so this month, any activity made between Wednesday, August 7th, and 8 PM Eastern time, Wednesday, September 4th. Activity must be submitted by Saturday, September 7 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.

[magicademymods]

For Vaarsuvius, we consider all threads under one top-level to be part of the same thread. In addition, the second proof has only four comments not counting the top-level. Therefore we request an additional proof. (Understanding that the hurricane threat has been quite real for you, we will extend the deadline for which threads count till the end of this AC period.)

Xion's efforts at hunting Eagulls have resulted in:

A decent income.
An official commendation from City Hall, proclaiming her a "Significant Contributor to the Well-Being of Anastara", along with a plaque and a fruit basket.

Xion's efforts at studying have resulted in:

+1 to her House for the Colormarch.
Positive wildcard regard x2.

Sho's efforts at making trash sculptures has resulted in:

An Offer

Meliandre Tomekin has extended a deal to Sho: make his sculptures in a specific place, rather than wherever the hell, and she'll pay him a stipend. The sculptures will be used for improving her work on the groundskeeping golems.

Isa's efforts at learning to fight properly have resulted in:

A Special Connection
Alison Trand, Weapons Instructor

Professor Trand is, notably, not a wizard at all, but such is her skill with weapons of all sorts that the Magicademy retains her to teach whatsoever classes the students might want to learn, be it staffs or swords or glaives or hook-hammers or stranger. Your efforts caught her attention, and she stopped to give you several helpful pointers, with the offer of more to come should you care to spend some time learning with her.

[magicademymods]

Your efforts at learning about dragon ghosts and dragon magic have been stymied.

Nowhere in the Library of Starchime or anywhere in the conventional areas you search can you find any reference to any serious knowledge of dragons. This is no coincidence; unquestionably, this information has been deliberately and thoroughly purged. You will need to look somewhere less controlled, more secret, or dangerous if you want to find the information you need.

To compensate for the fact that we can't actually reward you for these actions, we offer two regains free of cost. (We noted in one AC thread that Noa was considering books, for example, so these may be used for such things -- they can be most anything from his world, not necessarily something specifically and personally his.)

Your efforts at honing your performances have resulted in:

+5 Fame.

On reaching 50 Fame, you are now a reputed performer. Most people who know entertainment know your name, and your performances are consistently well-attended. Both tavernkeeps and the owners of small venues seek you out to perform on their stages, and your income has taken a notably upward turn. You could now live solely on your earnings as a performer if you so desired (although with not studying magic having such dangerous results, we don't recommend this).

However, increasing your Fame after this will be more difficult. (We will roll a d100 + a modifier for your actions, and compare it to your current Fame level.)

Your efforts at using your Special Connection have resulted in:

+10 Fame. (Roll of 75, +15 for use of a Special Connection)

Yuki's efforts at trying to change Houses... have not gone so well. Such a request is almost never granted, it being assumed that students learn much, much more from growing within a House than they do trying to change to a new one.

Spyro's efforts to write to Ire have resulted in:

A letter back. Ire's answer to the two is that he has no idea how to keep people away from the ghost dragon because people are just not the wisest when it comes to doing that? He also reports he has no idea how to banish the ghost dragon because he isn't even sure how that's POSSIBLE. Either the dragon had outside help in returning or it is powerful beyond any reasonable measure.

On the upside, Ire offers to answer some questions; you may ask 3.
