“Okay, the food here is absolutely amazing! I have already tried all three restaurants and I can’t decide which is my favorite,” Kenzie declared, swallowing the last of her meal before she spoke. “It’s official. I love this place. I want to stay forever. Who needs an education when you can live in paradise like this?”

who: @luxorstarters when: first day of spring break. where: the mahé beach.

Wading through the low tides of the ocean, Marcello watched his legs disrupt the current, embracing the cool brush of the rushing water. It was easy to get trapped in moments like these, hyper fixated on the sound and the sight of a natural force so powerful and extensive. He felt a blunt force slam into the round of his head, practically launching his head forward as a group of kids gaped behind him. With a stifled groan, Marcello lifted his hand to the back of his head. A lone volleyball danced in soft circles in front of him, and he heard the shouts of an approaching student. “Were you aiming for me or are you just an idiot?!” Marcello barked at the assailant, his face etched in a deep scowl.

towards the end of the spring break trip, things seemed to have fallen into a pattern. during the day, a number of students would head down to the beach, choose someone’s private pool to lounge at, or congregate at one of the few lavish restaurants on site. mahé had brought with it days of replenishing relaxation parker hadn’t even been entirely aware she needed. often you could find her sipping an orange or peachy drink poolside, eyes set on a book or whichever beautiful person had decided to share the space.

and then the sun would set. sure, the days were undoubtedly nice, but the nights were when everything and everyone would come alive. it wasn’t at all surprisingly to find a bevvy of luxor students mulling around the nearby bars and clubs, and tonight was no different. still, parker’s eyes couldn’t keep from widening in delight at the sight of luca, enthusiasm aided by her last couple of drinks. “luca!” she called out, squeezing through the people that filled the space between them, body clad in a tiny green set that made her hair pop even in the dim lighting. “my caliente, the hottest person in the room,” she doted, leaning in to give a half-hug, opposite arm held out of the way to prevent any drink spillage. “what’s the feeling tonight? are we doing shots? dancing? getting invited to a sketchy house party? all of the above?” ample amusement and anticipation flickered behind her eyes, free hand coming to rest on their upper arm.

SPRING BREAK !!

The perfect time to let go of the stress and worries of Luxor !! This year, Luxor Academy is hosting their spring vacation at the Banyan Tree Seychelles Resort !! This beautiful resort is located on the southwest coast of Mahé, an island on the archipelago of Intendance Bay. The luxurious resort has an intimate view overlooking the Indian Ocean and private beaches to spend the long, sunny days. Each student will be paired up and staying in their own villa at the resort, and we hope you create fond memories with your temporary roommate. Feel free to explore the world renowned spa, the local town, the beach, or simply spend time in your private pool area. There are three different restaurants to choose from, with options like international dishes, Creole inspired ones, or even meals inspired by Southeast Asia. Get ready to sit back and enjoy the warmth and relaxation that the Mahé coast has to offer !!

Please be warned that this is a school sanctioned vacation, excessive partying and drinking, though it is allowed by the legal age limit, will not be tolerated. You’re here to represent Luxor at the end of the day, you never know when someone may be watching.

OOC INFORMATION

This is a dashboard event that will begin at 3 PM on March 11th. The event will continue for ten days, both ic and ooc, until March 20th. Feel free to continue non-event threads throughout the course of the entire event. However, we ask that all starters are event-related for the duration of Spring Break !! Please tag your starters with #luxstart and #luxspringbreak, and don’t forget to reblog them to the starter blog.

For this event, the students will be added to a group text to encourage interactions. They were added to this by the Luxor staff so that people can keep track of one another during this week and remain safe. We highly encourage you to use this group text as a premise for open starters, or in general to branch out into threads with other students. Along with that, there will be the fun of getting a new temporary roommate - at least one thread from this event will be required to be with them, allowing you to explore a possible new dynamic with someone you may have overlooked.

During this time the main is going to be putting a hold on all acceptances, have fun and enjoy our spring break !!

Please see below for some pictures of the resort to get your muse going:

who: @morgcnreyes​ when: evening. where: private beach.

Luca was relatively accustomed to having Morgan around, though it was rare they found themselves without the company of their mutual friends. Still, there was so much they didn’t know about her, besides his best friend being smitten with her. Luca could see traces of Rich in Morgan, a softness and a kindness they somehow mastered that Luca was certain he was incapable of. It was obvious Rich loved her, and it was only in Luca’s nature to grow curious about the details his friend refused to share. Their group of friends slowly dwindled as the night continued, and then they had asked if she’d ever smoked a Backwood. Luca laid flat on his beach towel, the blunt at his lips as they focused on the stars above them. They passed the blunt to Morgan, their elbow barely grazing hers. “What does happiness look like to you?” Luca inquired in an almost teasing tone. His eyes fell on her, debating how honest her answer would be. “Would you consider yourself happy?” he asked, his tone more serious than before.

who: @hardlygclden​​ when: one of the first few nights of spring break where: poolside bar

It wasn’t unusual for Nate to get into squabbles, even with people who he considered friends. Or at least, as close to friends as Nate ever had. That was exactly what had started to occur with Bowie, the two boys getting a little too rowdy (probably brought on by the alcohol, if they were to be honest), a couple shoves back and forth, and they quickly ended up pissing off a few of the other patrons of the bar. Which of course, reminded Nate and Bowie that they were on the same side. And now, they were fighting the other men together. Nate should’ve realized that all of the people who frequented the type of hotel picked out by Luxor would be rich douchebags, and god, were these guys infuriating, and Nate was not afraid to get in their faces. 

“Do you guys have a fucking problem?” Nate asked, leaning down at one of the men who had decided to challenge he and Bowie.

[sav-grey]

who: @marcelloderosa​​ when: right after arriving at the spring break resort where: marc’s villa

They had just gotten to the resort, Sav not even bothering to go to her room before being swept up in her plans with Marcello. They had quickly commandeered the private pool area attached to his villa, wine and charcuterie set up right on the edge of the pool while they frolicked in the water. At the moment, Sav had her arms wrapped around Marc’s shoulders as they floated lazily, planning on clinging to him for most of the vacation. For once they would be able to focus on what Sav wanted to, which was paying attention to each other over school. Him paying attention to school, that was. “You know,” she said, leaning in to press another kiss to his jawbone before she continued speaking. “There are some good - hard - hiking trails if we find it worth it to leave this villa,” Sav added, like it wasn’t Marcello and he hadn’t probably researched everything to find for them to do on the island anyways.

The Unhinged slipped this note to Maddie, paper clipped to a photocopied page from Kenzie Horton's file, parts of it hastily redacted with black sharpie, and a note scrawled on the bottom to the pertaining info they had left visible:

Kenzie puts so much value in how people see her, it must be exhausting. For someone so reliant on validation, the notes her therapist has on her would really make her feel like a failure. She must be used to it, considering everyone knows she’s a failure when it comes to being a good friend too. Maybe she could start caring more about herself, since no one else does.

The Spring Break Event has now ended !! You may continue your event threads, but there should be no new starters for the event.

[rhiannonindigo]

who: @grantdixons​ when: dusk. where: rhia’s room.

Maybe Grant wasn’t the ideal company to spend an exciting, jaw-dropping, off the chains spring break with, but Rhia couldn’t help but feel charmed by the effort. She didn’t question why he seemed content to compromise his morals for her, but he tended to be a little more talkative drunk, and hence Rhia had no trouble coddling this behavior. She clumsily poured another shot, as she leaned from the bed over her nightstand, using only one hand to stabilize her position laying down belly first. “Don’t spill it,” Rhia warned quite ironically, as she slid the glass to Grant. “And it’s my turn,” she mused with a crooked smile. “Truth or dare?”

who: @luxorstarters​ What: A drinking game

“So don’t look now, but this guy at the end of the bar has been falling asleep over his plate of fries for the past 10 minutes. I’d bet you a shot he’s only got another couple minutes or so before he ends up with a face absolutely covered in ketchup.” He mused as he leaned back in his seat, side eyeing the student who’d clearly had a few too many. “Some people just can’t handle their liquor can they?” 

She listened to his words, though her eyes slowly followed his direction toward the end of the bar. It was impossible for the blonde to hide the amusement in her face as she turned her attention back to Carew. “How long do you think he’s got? Then we can make a formal bet.” She raised an eyebrow, another laugh leaving when lips as she nodded her head. “Definitely, you’ve got to learn your limits, that’s how you make it out of the bar ketchup free.”

parker stood at the edge of the private pool, pupils absorbing blue as far as the eye could see. blue pool tiles, blue ocean water, blue skies. if she stared at it long enough, vision blurring rapidly at the lack of focus, she was convinced she’d be swallowed by it. not the worst thing that could happen throughout spring break, she thought decidedly—aware of the way her optimism had taken a solid hit over the last few months. or, more accurately, a series of jabs with varying force. some subtle and easy to recover from, others akin to a blow to the chest. the kind accompanied by such shock that it makes it difficult to breathe—to even remember to breathe, for a moment. and, of course, parker mulled over it all in the most ironic of ways: from the private pool of a luxury resort, nestled on an island in the indian ocean.

clearly, life was very hard at the moment. as though she had an audience, the redhead’s lower lip formed a pout. what could she say? with the sudden wave of loneliness that’d overcome her, it was hard to enjoy much today. well, save for her temporary roommate. her twin capricorn, her fellow artistic soul. a flicker of a smile managed to dance across her lips at the mere sound of her footsteps padding from behind. “i think i’m entering my gone girl era,” parker announced, coming to turn around a few seconds later. though sunglasses blocked her eyes, her growing smile hinted that she wasn’t all that serious. “how does... chopping off our hair and disappearing into town tonight, potentially never coming back sound?”

“I swear half of Luxor,” Jack observed nonchalantly, “needs therapy just to deal with their families. You’d think they’d be able to stick up to their controlling parents,” he emphasised the words, glancing at her as if to gauge her reaction. “Especially when it comes to, I don’t know, your image, your future…. It’s our lives, you know?”

This wasn’t the first time Jack had said something confusing, though this had seemed more specific. “Luxor flies them out so often that it seems pointless to waste the energy, most parents would be a bigger pain in the ass.” Lennon looked over at him, narrowing her eyes as he went on about futures. “We’ve never really worried about all of that together before.” It seemed weird that this was on his mind and oddly specific to her relationship with her own mother. She voiding help but wonder if it was a weird coincidence, surely Jack had a point when he brought up the subject all together. “My mother has strong opinions, usually conflicting ones…do your parents do the same?”

[lucent-luca]

who: @cfandromeda​ @luxornarrator​ when: evening. where: resort bar.

Luca didn’t drink much, but they knew Andie drank even less and maybe that would make this whole thing go down a lot easier. He’d never been one to insert himself in other’s business, and whatever weird, fucked up shit her file alluded to, Luca wanted no part in it. Still, they wouldn’t risk their own head for the sake of a girl he was friendly with. “Real shit, though?” Luca said abruptly, barely throwing the petite girl a glance. “You need to stay vigilant out here. You won’t last long just playing along and keeping your head down,” they warned ominously. Luca sighed and gestured for the bartender, their body hunched into the bar counter and away from Andie. “It’s why I wanted to take you out. We got some shit to clear up.” They tapped their fingernails across the countertop, lifting their head to offer a lackadaisical smile. “Let me get you a drink.”

[luxornarrator]

The Unhinged slipped this note to Parker, paper clipped to a photocopied page from Tiva de la Vida's file, parts of it hastily redacted with black sharpie, and a note scrawled on the bottom to the pertaining info they had left visible: 

Tiva has a vengeful streak, she’s so eager to get back at people who hurt her. She enjoys it even. So why wouldn’t she want to get back at the school? At the very least, her therapist, since no one stopped us from taking the file from their office. Or is that part all talk, just like her supposedly only being into girls?
