"IANUIS CLAUSIS • "BEHIND CLOSED DOORS"
OVERVIEW
Overlooking the largest metropolis in Atlas, and overlooked by the third-tallest mountain in the Free Union, Mont-Chagrin Academy's history is one shrouded in mystery. It is generally agreed that the hallowed school was founded in 1128 - predating even the first iteration of the nation of Acronius, although MCA has since gone through numerous restructures and expansions. Choosing to isolate itself from the rest of the world, the school's surroundings have strangely enough been the host of eighteen major battles in history, from the Aegran-Montfortian Wars to Great War II. It has consistently ranked within the best post-secondary establishments in Acronius since the 19th century, but was inconveniently quarantined from any form of civilization for thousands of kilometers, affecting its attendance. This changed in 1967, when, after two decades of construction, the sprawling streets of a brand new metropolis, Defense, were opened to the public, breaking Mont Chagrin's isolation from the world. Attendance requests, especially foreign, skyrocketed since, and Mont Chagrin Academy became a university of choice for both the aristocratic and those who dreamt big.
The Free Union of Acronius is a highly-developed first-world nation in western Vaaldhaven. Mainly French culturally, albeit with a substantial English minority, French and English are the nation's official languages, and as such, are the languages of instruction at Mont-Chagrin Academy, save for language-specific courses. Acronian Francs are the national currency, with a 1.01 exchange rate to the Universal Standard Dollar. Defense is a sprawling metropolis of 28 million people with an additional 11 million living in the surrounding metropolitan area, making it the largest metropolitan area in Atlas in terms of population. Mont Chagrin is located in the northwest of the city, and is easily accessible from other parts of the city via the Defense Metropolitan Underground Train system (abbreviated to Metro) and its sub-network of Defense Skytrain, the latter of which has a station at Mont Chagrin Academy itself. The main point of entry into Defense for foreigners is Defense Metropolitan International Airport, located in the southeast of the city. The airport and the Academy are connected via the Boundary Line on Defense Skytrain, providing a direct and simple means of transportation to the institution.
Mont Chagrin Academy boasts a complete and extensive campus sprawling over 11 square kilometers of land. It hosts numerous bars, cafés, and restaurants on its grounds, as well as numerous sports facilities including football fields, tennis courts, and a multi-purpose stadium. Students will stay in spacious dorms, which may be shared with up to three fellow students.

PLOT: LA MASCARADE
It is a time of the year many loathe. The Christmas and New Year festivities have come to a close, and with the passing of the holiday spirit, the resumption of reality's tiring mundanities inevitably follows. Such holds true at Mont Chagrin Academy – but a silver lining blesses those within the confines of the exclusive institution: the fast-approaching Mascarade. Intrinsic to the school's identity for centuries, la Mascarade is one of the most exclusive balls in Atlas, reserved only for princes, princesses, scholars and other young socialites of prestigious background enrolled at the Academy. An unique set of rules governs la Mascarade:
- Couples only
- Every couple must have at least one person of significant descent: this is defined as any royal, child of a world leader, or child of a Nobel Prize winner (third rule added in 1906)
- All proposals must be conducted in the presence of the School Headmaster, who will validate the proposal upon acceptance
- If any prospective attendee is courted by more than one suitor, the suitors must compete against each other in a series of three duels: hand-to-hand combat in the martial art chosen by the Headmaster; fencing; and the Mont Chagrin Hunt, whereby the suitors must be first to find their desired partner, who goes into hiding
- Strict dress code: White tie/very elegant/ceremonial dress.

RULES
Same as last time, also same as Luey's Adenerov:
- Obey the OP. I promise I will not demand your soul from you
In all seriousness, a previously-overlooked issue may pop up during sign-ups or the RP, and I may need to address it. Anything I address or prohibit that is not currently listed in the rules will be added immediately. - Additionally, please check the OOC thread, particularly the OP, on a regular basis. The OP in particular is still a work in progress. Rules may be added or clarified and I am not necessarily able to notify everyone each time I change the OP due to the frequency with which I do it. I may also add more helpful information, and other little goodies, such as the section for the campus map that I put in during this particular edit.
- No OOC fighting. Self-explanatory.
- Avoid super short posts. Though I understand that it's hard not to write a one-liner in a particularly dialogue-heavy scene in the RP, I highly recommend that you try to flesh out your posts, instead of trying to churn out one-liners as fast as possible.
- No sexually explicit posts. It's common for intercourse, promiscuity, stripping, or whatever else to happen in most colleges; this college is not likely to be an exception, and I won't shy away from that fact. However, I will not allow posting about sex. It may be implied or hinted at, but the scenes/'sessions' may never be directly RPed.
- Yes, you may have multiple characters. Four characters max. However, I will not allow characters being RPed by the same person to room together, and I ask that those who RP multiple characters keep their characters' interactions among themselves to a minimum.
- Expulsion is a thing. I have no issue OOCly with people doing stuff that would warrant disciplinary action by the school, but keep in mind that actions still have consequences: if I have you expelled (as I will also be RPing non-instructor school staff if need be), then you may not post in the thread anymore as that character. You may, however, still RP any other characters you have. If you only have one character, you are allowed to sign up another after the first is expelled, provided the character is differentiated enough.
- Lastly, and most importantly, remember the Triumvirate. Their jimmies are eternal. None can rustle the Triumvirate.
