About RPG
New Orleans, a historic town on the Southern Coast of America. A rich and unique culture with a history of delving into the supernatural world, what better place for a mecca of the supernatural? Ghosts, vampires, werewolves, and zombies all co-exist in with most of the human population none the wiser, except for perhaps the secret Founder's council which often wishes to wipe vampires from the face of the town. This is the story of the Original vampires, of Elena Gilbert and her friends' journey into the supernatural world, of supernatural house mates, zombies that can be our friends, werewolf family rivalries, and magic that runs deep in the veins of many residents.

7 am Cheer Practice | @elenagilbert-nightripper
[Sophomore Year]
Seven in the morning cheer practice was likely the last thing anyone wanted however Caroline was having one of her obsessive periods and she wanted everything to be utter perfection. After all she had just been made cheer Captain, perhaps not how she wanted to be as Sarah Middleton had been attacked by an animal or something and was in a coma making Caroline Captain, however she was going to be damn well sure that the team stayed focused and was whipped into shape. She couldn't have her first act as Cheer Captain being to fail or have the team get discombobulated. This is what found Caroline in the school gym at a quarter to seven in the morning next to a yawning Elena Gilbert.
"Oh come on, I told you to go to bed early last night, but no, you had to stay up talking to Matt, did you?"

Henry Ford considered Thomas Edison his personal hero and friend. Did his admiration for Edison provoke the admittedly idiosyncratic Ford to request the capture of Edison’s last exhalation when the great inventor died at 3:24 a.m. on October 18, 1931?
Acknowledging Ford’s interest in reincarnation, one source claims that “Henry Ford believed that the human soul exited the body with its last breath. Ford somehow convinced Thomas Edison’s son to sit by the dying inventor’s bedside, clap a test tube over his mouth, then plug it with a cork. Maybe Ford’s intentions were noble, and he expected future scientists to reconstitute Edison from the aether.”
The real story actually is more mundane—yet more poignant and laden with meaning. Ultimately, it is not about some bizarre capturing of a “dying breath” but, rather, about the very common process of memorializing deceased heroes. The sealed test tube, removed from the room where Thomas Edison passed away, was offered to his good friend, Henry Ford, as a symbol of Edison’s life and breath.
Image: The glass test tube from Edison’s bedroom is on display in Henry Ford Museum.

Sublimation of Ice in Martian Spring
In spring, the sublimation of the ice (going directly from ice to gas) causes a host of uniquely Martian phenomena. In this image streaks of dark basaltic sand have been carried from below the ice layer to form fan-shaped deposits on top of the seasonal ice. The similarity in the directions of the fans suggests that they formed at the same time, when the wind direction and speed was the same. They often form along the boundary between the dune and the surface below.
