fhplotterywheel | Multiverse backpacking trip!

I posted an idea in the latest brainstorming post about a post-graduation dimension-hopping trip for seniors. The admins have approved the concept! We need to work out some details before final approval, so anyone who's interested, please chime in!

Here's the deal - Portalocity has a great deal on multiverse travel passes for students - the Multipass. (49 Days: Infinite Possibilities!) A group of recent Fandom High graduates decide to take advantage of the deal and backpack through a bunch of dimensions.

Each MultiPass would have the date, time and location of the next portal out, so characters could split up if they wanted and still make it to the next location. If we wanted to send the characters somewhere that they wouldn't have chosen to go (ex. Camelot, where they'd have to hide their modernness and any magic for fear of being burned at the stake) then Portalocity can make a mistake and drop them in the wrong time/place. Customer service will either be unreachable or politely unhelpful and their passes will show how much time they have to wait until they can take a portal out. (Unplanned destinations will have the same OOC approval process as the planned destinations.)

Accommodations would be a little rougher than the usual resorts they go to on breaks. Generally, they'd stay at the local equivalent of a student hostel or local motel. All planned housing would have been cleared with some interdimentional travel service as being safe and appropriate for students. (Of course, sometimes things get rough nearby, if you wander in the wrong direction.) They could also stay with alumni or relatives of Fandom residents, if it's offered.

The trip's for the seniors only, but anyone who wants to have a trip to their canon can have their characters join in for that bit of the trip. (Ex.: if they make a stop to Kaeleer, Karla could join them on that part of the trip.)

The admins sayeth:

*We'd consider going on the trip to be leaving the island for Term 1 (just like any character can in the summer). Thus trip participants couldn't ditch mid-trip and come back to stay on the island in the middle of term. If there was some need to visit the island, though, the general alumni rules of five days a month would apply.

*We encourage playing hard with Portalocity's established tendency of being annoying and occasionally unreliable at the level of your average major international airport. Go accidental stops in "unplanned" dimensions, and possibly a day stuck in the departures terminal at some point for extra facepalming.

So graduating seniors would leave just before the new kids arrived and the last stop on the trip would end right before the mid-summer break.

Questions I have for you!

- Does the seven-week trip work for you guys? I was thinking we could hit up some place mellow - maybe Priestly's Santa Cruz or something similar - for the first week, which would let the seniors relax and not divert too much energy from the new kids. We could always ramp up the ~~danger~~ fun later on.

- How long at each place? This may depend on individual locations.

Seniors and non-seniors: Are you willing to host a trip in your canon? We'd need a post each day for your canon's section of the trip, a guide to the area and NPCs for interaction. (

glacial_witch's trip to her home this weekend is a good example, actually.) Your canonmates (if you have them) would have to approve the visit as well. You're totally welcome to share hosting duties if multiple people are willing.

Or could you host a non-FH canon? Same requirements as a regular canon, just minus the need for canonmate approval.

There's probably tons of things I'm forgetting or haven't thought of yet, so questions? Comments? Statement of purpose?
