Welcome, welcome! Do wipe your feet before you enter - hah, just kidding. Could you imagine? We've got snow tracked from here to the janitor's closet. Good thing it just melts, anyway. You'd be hard-pressed to find a dry spot in this joint. The stairs to the basement have their own little waterfall - the Bergfalk Falls, the kids call it. Oh, but we've saved a dry chair for you - and some hot cocoa. Or do you prefer cider? We have that, as well. Eggnog? No, sorry. This is a teen institution, after all. Nothing alcoholic.
Anyways, welcome to the Lodge, as we call it. It used to be an actual lodge for an actual ski resort, right here in the scenic Cascade Mountains. Well, we're the only ones using it now - the place went out of business before the poor saps could even touch half the powder on this mountain. A shame, really. It's a great mountain. But when my old man said he wanted to start a school for snowboarders, he wasn't kidding. Bought the old place, fixed it right up. Now we're operating a lovely little business here. Teens from all across the country get out of regular old school for a month or two over the winter to go to Boarding School - good thing it's worth college credit, or else they'd all be flunking out of school.
I'm Felix, by the way - well, Mr. Bergfalk, really. That's what we tell the kids to call me, but Bergfalk is a pretty lame last name. Just call me Felix, eh? I'm the head instructor. And you are?

Well, it's nice to meet you! We're just prepping for the season right now, and we'd love to have you on the team. We've got staff positions open for all kinds of things - instructors, medics, cooks, ski patrol, the works. But then again, you might be here to enroll. If that's the case, welcome! Let me show you around the lodge.Snowboarding Academy

Over there, right where you were before - that's the entryway. Just a niche in front of the doors for your jackets and gear. Also, you've probably figured out by now what those drains in the floor are for. Try and kick most of the snow off here, please. We do our boarding outdoors. Speaking of which, stow your boards and boots on the racks to your left, your jackets on the racks to your right, and your helmets and goggles in the cubbies by the door.
Where we're sitting now goes by a few names - the cafeteria. The mess hall. Where's the food? It's about a lot more than food, though. Well, not really. Either way, I call it the commons. Students come here for their meals. Gotta carbo-pack, ya know? But they tend to do a lot of chit-chatting here, as well. As you can see, it's a nice, large, high-ceilinged room, situated in a corner of the lodge that enables half of its walls to be not walls, but windows. A nice scenic view of the mountain. The tables and chairs are a bit ramshackle, yes, but if some teen is going to tromp in here and plant their wet little butt on my chairs, they had better not be padded. We already have problems with sickness around here, and we don't need mold to worsen things. Ooh, and the fireplace! My favorite.
Now, you probably saw the hallway branching off from the entryway. That leads to a few things. First off are the bathrooms. What's there to know? They're gross. I'll spare you the details.
After that is the lounge. For the staff, of course. Students aren't allowed in there. It's got some nice, padded chairs, a coffee maker, and a nice little stove - like a mini fireplace. It's small, but comfortable. We're a hardworking bunch, yaknow? Gotta unwind from time to time.
After that are four identical doors, two on each side of the hall. These are the staff bedrooms. Again, a bit nicer than the student dorm. Each has two bunk beds and four sets of drawers - not to mention a personal gear rack? Still want to turn down that staff application?
Then we have a couple of offices at the end of the hall. One is my dad's. He works all damn day. No one is allowed to disturb him while he's working. God, he hates that office. The other one is mine. I hate it too. We'd both rather be on the mountain, but paperwork piles up. No one's allowed in my office, either, but especially not dad's. Seriously.
Okay, okay. Back to the commons. Did you notice the little staircase, over by the fireplace? I didn't, at first. It's a little dark. But lets go up - watch your step - to the den. Make no mistake, it's like the commons, only smaller and with better seating. This is where the students go to chill without me breathing down their necks. We've got some nice, comfy seating, and what I call the plotting table. We've got a laminated map of the mountain glued to the table with some whiteboard markers. It's for planning your route. Go nuts. Really, this place is just for bumming around, especially when we're snowed in.
Now, you may have noticed the two doors leading from this room. One goes to the infirmary. Yeah, we get injuries. People try the big jump. They screw up the big jump. They come here with bruises and bumps and even broken bones. You better hope it ain't broken, or else you're off the mountain. You can opt to stay with your friends for the rest of the winter, but you're not going near a snowboard. Or your parents can come pick you up, if you like. Your choice. Another big problem around here is sickness. Flu and Pneumonia are the big ones, but if WebMD lists "fever" or "chills" as a symptom, we've probably seen it around here. We've just got some slightly nicer beds, some nice, clear windows, and some lovely medics. Seriously, I'd take the flu over the splint if I were you. You can't enjoy the cute nurses when you're screaming in pain.
Last but not least, we have the dorm. It's a big room, almost as big as the commons, with enough bunk beds to support our entire population. It's not terribly comfortable if you're not lying in a bed, but what's a bedroom for, anyways? Under each bunk are two trunks for your things. You get one trunk and one trunk only. Seriously. All crap left out of a trunk will be confiscated by the janitor and held for ransom. Now, you may have noticed that there are no "girl" or "boy" dorms - just one big dorm. We do this because, one, we can't afford a divider at the moment, and two, we trust you not to do anything stupid. You're not little kids. And, um, don't tell my dad I said this, but... whatever happens, happens. I'm chill. In fact... and keep this quiet, please... if you really, really must, I have condoms available in my office. It's not as if I encourage it, but I'd rather you not get someone pregnant. Cool? Cool.
Oh, are you allergic to cats? 'Cause this our lodge cat, Burton. Heh, get it? Like the big-name snowboard brand? He's real nice. A little too nice, I'd say. He likes to climb on top of students while they're sleeping and take a nap right on top of them. We have to shut him out of the infirmary when we've got patients. Just be nice to him, okay?

Well, that concludes our tour. However, I believe we still need to go over the rules, correct?
Well, that concludes our tour. However, I believe we still need to go over the rules, correct?
IC RULES
-During class hours, keep within sight of your instructor, and above all, listen to him or her.
-During free board, or FB, as we call it, you're free to go out on your own, if you're experienced enough. If you can find an instructor who's up for it, you could also go out for a class extension. This is good if you lack experience.
-Respect your Academy, your classmates, and yourself.
-My dad doesn't like it when people swear or have sex, but I'm the head instructor, and I'm okay with it as long as you don't go flapping your little tongues to the old man, alright?
-Look, we don't ask much of you... don't be a douche, okay?
OOC RULES
-As previously stated, swearing and sex are both A-okay, but let's not swear 24 times in every post or have sex every night. Be reasonable. And if you want to actually post about the sex itself, put it in a spoiler so that no one who doesn't want to see it sees it.
-A little bit of OOC chitter-chatter in the roleplay thread is fine, but let's keep the majority of it to the OOC thread, right here.
-Don't be mean. Don't argue. Be good people. Please.
-Don't be discouraged from joining if you're not a snowboarder IRL. Seriously this rule is really important. I can teach you the lingo and stuff. Don't be shy! I may correct you if you break the laws of snowboard physics, though.
-I hate Mary-Sues and Gary-Stus. Nobody's character is a record-setting snowboarder in the olympics. Nobody has sooper speshul flying/telepathy/animal-talking powers. Nobody's parent named them Crystal Icemoonmoonfluff. I will have none of this Sue BS.
-Make sure your posts have decent length. We're intermediate for a reason.
-Be active and develop plots with us. We love you!
-Have fun. If you don't have fun I'm kicking you, telling staff, calling 911 and filing a report with the police. See you in jail SUCKA.
