Because who actually works when they're at work anyway?<br /><br />Therefore, I am pleased to inform all of you that you have been accepted to study at the <br /><center><big><strong>Enterprise High School of the Visual and Performing Arts</strong></big>.</center><br /><br />It's April 5th and the Class of 2012 is looking forward to graduation. Now it's crunch time with finals, prom, and college admissions*. Senior year means BIG THINGS for our students. The annual Senior Showcase is going to happen on May 1st. And with just under a month until the big showcase, the faculty has announced that the student with the best artistic thingy will get a full ride scholarship to the Big Name Artsy College. Now the pressure is on to be the very best <strike>like no one ever was</strike> and the competition has pitted friend against friend (or has it?).<br /><br />But with our students having to juggle their regular academic classes with their more specialized courses AND a social life, it's almost like a certain someone has combined the best of Fame and High School Musical: Senior Year. Clearly this means great things for <strike>plot</strike> our cast.<br /><br />Suggestions for specialties for the students:<br />James Kirk: theatre<br />Leonard McCoy: harp (doctors are good with their hands, harpists are good with their hands IDK JUST GO WITH IT)<br />Nyota Uhura: voice<br />Janice Rand: art<br />Christine Chapel: dance<br />Montgomery Scott: film<br />Pavel Chekov: dance<br />Hikaru Sulu: theatre<br />Shawn Spock: art**<br />Gaila Orion: film<br /><br /><br />So who's overly emotional about their craft? Who creates an extraordinarily eccentric performance piece that leaves everyone else feeling vaguely uncomfortable even though they didn't understand it? Who angsts about no one TRULY UNDERSTANDING THEM? What other artistic stereotypes and high school cliches can we squeeze into this game before it dies? Who drops out? Who turns down an art school to go to a "real" college? MORE IMPORTANTLY: WHO IS DATING WHOM?<br /><br /><h1>So sit down, grab a character and type up their texts, compose their emails, and pass their notes in the middle of class, because</h1><strike>it's high school muuuuuu-siiiiii-caaaaaaaaaaal</strike> <strike>high school never ends</strike> <strike>they're gonna live forever, they're gonna learn how to fly high--FAME!</strike> <strike>it's gonna be totally awesome</strike> <strike>friendship dies and true love lies</strike><br /><br /><h1>Oh screw it--READY, STEADY, GO!</h1><br /><br /><br />* do not ask me why they are JUST NOW applying for colleges and auditioning and getting their acceptance letters okay it is ~MAGICAL MOVIE SCHOOL TIMING~ OKAY JUST GO WITH IT.<br />** I cannot be the only one who thinks "S'chn T'gai" visually resembles "Shawn the Guy," can I?

Something... refreshing.<br /><br />For the past year, Roger Korby and Andrea Sherrison have been building an android, Norm. And Norm has been, true to his name... normal.<br /><br />But things are starting to go wrong. Andrea has been moved into the empty bed in Caz and Jan's room (oh, did I not mention that? WELL. It's there. Not a convenient plot device at all) and when Roger's rommmate dropped out, he and McCoy decided to move in together.<br /><br />Now they're both starting to act weird. Of course, no one is normal, it's SFA and it's finals. But there's something seriously wrong, and our heroes are going to have to find out what.<br /><br />Did I mention that the top four students in each class get to go on a special training exercise? Well, they do.

In 1969.<br /><br />Why 1969? Well, my friends. 69 makes me giggle.<br /><br />Also, 1969 had <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969">a lot of important events.</a><br />January 20 – Richard Milhous Nixon succeeds Lyndon Baines Johnson as the 37th President of the United States of America.<br />January 30 – The Beatles give their last public performance, on the roof of Apple Records.<br />April 4 – Dr. Denton Cooley implants the first temporary artificial heart.<br />June 3- British singer Elton John releases his first album, Empty Sky, in the United Kingdom<br />June 28 – The Stonewall riots in New York City mark the start of the modern gay rights movement in the U.S.<br />July 20 – Apollo program: The lunar module Eagle lands on the lunar surface. Neil Armstrong takes his first steps on the Moon.<br />August 9 – Members of a cult led by Charles Manson murder Sharon Tate, (who was 8 months pregnant), and her friends.<br />September 2 – The first automatic teller machine in the United States is installed in Rockville Centre, New York.<br />October 5 – Monty Python's Flying Circus first airs on BBC One.<br />November 10 – Sesame Street premieres on the National Educational Television (NET) network.<br />November 15 – Regular colour television broadcasts begin on BBC1 and ITV in UK.<br />December 1 – Vietnam War: The first draft lottery in the United States is held since World War II.<br /><br />This was also the year that Women were allowed into the FFA and HIV first hit the United States.<br /><br /><br />Look at all that. So much that we take for granted. Imagine (all the people? Living side by side?) what a year like that would look like 300 years after, rather than 40. What amuses people, what horrifies them?

Yes, this is the HSAU, but this is the HSAU as you have NEVER seen it BEFORE. Now think back to just before Spock and Christine's wedding.

Have you ever wondered what happened to that strange Spock after he returned to his home universe?<br /><br />WELL WONDER NO MORE.<br /><br />The Place: San Francisco, CA<br /><br />The Time: One year after Spock's impromptu visit to our usual universe. It is several months after the events occurring presently in our HSAU game. Anyone who has graduated from high school is preparing for college--or Starfleet Academy. But is this the fate of everyone in this time? Or do our players have a different future before them? Did they even graduate on time? Are Bones and Spock still together? Is Kirk still in his hot sex triumvirate with Chekov and Gaila? Are Tony and Pike still banging like bunnies? Has Sulu been released from jail yet?
