It's New Year's!

2011-12-31T04:59:03Z

WHO: Puck and Link
TONE: Not gay.
RATING: PG-13
WHEN: December 31st
WHERE: Leeds, West Yorkshire
WHAT: Puck takes Link to a muggle party for New Year's.
STATUS: ongoing

What better place to be on New Year's than in a house full of people you barely know, where the air smells like whiskey and the building's foundation might as well be a subwoofer? According to Puck, the answer was "nowhere". Since Link was crashing at his place over the break, he was going to have to come to the party, too.

"Link, come meet some people!"

A Visit

2011-12-17T19:12:18Z

WHO: Roxanne and Melvin
TONE: ...Roxanne and Melvin. Somewhere between fluff and tension.
RATING: PG-13 at most.
WHEN: December 17th
WHERE: Melvin's home in Sheffield.
WHAT: Roxanne comes to visit Melvin. And make sure her owl isn't dead.
STATUS: On-going

Well. This didn't have to be a bad thing.

But Melvin couldn't help but worry as he paced up and down the hall, walking in and out of the living room where the fireplace was.

There was a lot of tension in his home.

There was a lot of tension, still, between himself and Roxanne.

It was bound to be an interesting situation.

But Melvin tried to look on the bright side. He'd be seeing Roxanne, at least. Maybe it wouldn't be a total disaster.

Maybe

TONE: Spirited
RATING: PG
WHEN: December 7th, lunchtime
WHERE: The Great Hall
WHAT: Amelia pulls a Christmas Cracker
STATUS: [ONGOING]

[As she's finishing up her lunch this afternoon, Amelia decides to give a couple of the Christmas cracker on the table a whirl. Those are always fun! She grips two of them between her knuckles and gives them a tug. Suddenly there is GLITTER. GLITTER EVERYWHERE. It explodes all over the Gryffindor table-- which Amelia has suddenly decided to leap up on.]

GUYS. I feel like singing! Let's start a spontaneous musical number! It's the most wonderful time of the year...

WHO: Rapunzel and Billy
TONE: truthful. Also lighthearted and painfully sappy.
RATING: G, probably. Maybe PG
WHEN: 11/19/11
WHERE: Library
WHAT: Here, Billy admitted that he wanted to steal Rapunzel away from her mom over break, since Rapunzel is reluctant to go home. Long story short, they are now a couple and this log is them getting together to discuss kidnapping Rapunzel over break.:D
STATUS: ONGOING

Billy skidded to a stop in front of the library, still a little bit giddy as he tried to seem like he hadn't just run there from the dungeons. He went in, unable to fully get rid of the dorky smile he was wearing, looking around for Rapunzel.
"Rapunzel?" he called, quietly enough to pass under the librarian's gaze with a stern, admonishing look.

WHO: Roxanne and Melvin
TONE: Argumentative |D
RATING: PG-13 probably
WHEN: Now
WHERE: Around the castle
WHAT: Roxanne is angry because Melvin was being Melvin. Truth event shenanigans!

She'd slammed the book shut after her last reply and stuffed it under her pillow and stormed out of the dorm without thinking about where she was going or what it was she was doing - she didn't really have a destination in mind.

Her hands were still covered in ink from when she'd almost spilled it all over the place when she'd read what Melvin had been writing. Melvin - the reason she was angry.

With an angry grunt, she flung herself down onto a flight of steps and shouted.

"You drive me crazy, Melvin McGrath!"

TONE: Celebratory!
RATING: PG-13 most likely
WHEN: November 5th, early morning
WHERE: Gryffindor girls dorm
WHAT: Everybody's feelin fine 'cause it's party time!
STATUS: [ONGOING]

[There are few things, in Amelia's mind, worth waking up early for. School is not one of them. Friends' birthdays, on the other hand, most definitely are.

Which is why she's perched on the end of Roxanne's bed before sunup with a wizard cracker in her hand and a devious grin on her face as she pulls the popper.]

Wake up, birthday girl!

Masquerade! Hide your face, so the world will never find you!

Match One: Gryffindor Vs. Slytherin Match

2011-10-23T17:18:46Z

WHO: Gryffindor and Slytherin Quidditch teams, with commentary by Rapunzel Gothel
TONE: Athletic, competitive
RATING: PG
WHEN: Sunday, October 23rd.
WHERE: Quiddtich Pitch
WHAT: Gryffindor vs. Slytherin in the first match of the school year.
STATUS: Completed

Hello, everyone! This is your announcer, Rapunzel Gothel, happy to bring you the first match of the school year! We've got Gryffindor against Slytherin today, and it promises to be an exciting match! Also, for those of you who don't know, we have two new captains for these teams -- Graham Specter for Gyrffindor and Noah Puckerman for Slytherin! I'm sure we all can't wait to see how the teams play under new leadership!

And we're off! Amelia is quick to gain posession of the Quaffle, and -- ahh! -- just dodged that Bludger from Noah... And she makes the score! 10-0 Gryffindor!

Oh my, looks like Slytherin didn't like Gyrffindor getting that first score! They're coming back strong, and -- Oh, close call there, but a save by Jason!

Wait, wait! Hold on! The seekers are off already! Will this be a quick ma-- Oh, oh, guess not! Looks like they've lost track-- Now where's the Quaf--

Oh, nice score by Jin! 20-0 Gryffindor! Slytherin's in posession of the Quaffle now, though! And there's a score! 20-10, Gryffindor!

Amelia's not taking that lying down! She's quick to get to the Quaffle, and-- Ooh, Lauren beats back that bludger from Axel just in time to save Amelia for a score! 30-10, Gryffindor!

...Oh, gosh! Speaking of bludgers, Gryffindor's other beater, Graham, seems to be having a heck of a time on the other side of the field! He just almost knocked a Georgia off her broom! And... She's fighting back! There's a call of cobbing!

Gryffindor makes the penalty shot, bringing the score up to 40-10, Gryffindor!

Everyone seems to be stepping up their game as we go on -- There's some really impressive flying going on on this field today! Oh! Graham gets himself a call for cobbing. Slytherin makes the penalty shot, and we have a 40-20 score with Gryffindor in the lead!

Georgia's got her hands on the Quaffle -- Oooh, Jason really missed that one! 40-30, Gryffindor! Slytherin stays in posession of the Quaffle but Jason seems more focused now -- That was a great save!

Georgia's getting a bit rough with Jin, and-- Grabbing the end of his broom! Foul for blagging... And Gryffindor scores! 50-20, Gryffindor!

Ah! That was a close call for Jin with that Bludger -- excellent aim on Noah's part -- but Lauren's got things covered once again! Jin manages another score, keeping Gryffindor in the lead with a score of 60-20!

But Slytherin's getting determined, and-- Oooh, that was some quick flying and a strong score! 60-30, Slytherin!

Ooh! And that's another foul for Georgia -- Cobbing once again! Wow, she and Graham are really going at it today... And Gryffindor misses the penalty shot. That keeps the score at 60-30, Gryffindor!

Alright, back to the action! Jin has the Quaffle, and... There's a score! 70-30, Gryffindor! Gyrffindor still has the Quaffle-- Ooh, there's Georgia! She hasn't seemed to be all in today, but she made intercepted that pass brilliantly! Axel saves her from a Bludger from Graham...

And-- Oh! Graham is flying right for Georgia-- Oh, God... Oh! She--She's just made it out of the way, but that's got to be called, right? Blatching? Ah, there we go, foul's been called...

Penalty shot made! The puts it to 70-40, Gryffindor!

Wait a second! Our seekers are off-- Have they spotted the Snitch aga-- Yes! Yes, Slytherin has caught the Snitch! That's the match -- Slytherin wins 190-70! Congratulations, Slytherins!

2011-10-21T01:41:20Z

WHO: Cierra, Billy, and Fai
TONE: Awkward dance intruction!
RATING: PG
WHEN: 10-19-11
WHERE: Fai's classroom (seeing as his office is a little small for dancing)
WHAT: Fai found out that Billy doesn't know how to dance and has taken it upon himself to teach him! He has enlisted the help of Cierra after realizing that he is at least a few feet taller than him and that makes dancing rather awkward.
STATUS: Ongoing

Fai smiled as he observed his classroom and smiled. With all the desks shoved to the side it was the perfect size for teaching someone basic dancing. He was only planning on teaching Billy the basics, seeing as the dance was only a few days away and he did not have time, no matter how good of a student he was, to teach him much more than the basics. He figured if they got i the basic waltz with a few turns and maybe teach him how to dip his date.

It's a beautiful night~ we're looking for something dumb to do~

Gilbert and Ludwig work their shit out (maybe)

2011-10-19T05:04:34Z

WHO: Gilbert and Ludwig

TONE: family? Angst?

RATING: PG-13 for probable swearing and talk of abusive childhoods

WHEN: 1 a.m., October 19, 2011

WHERE: starting in Ludwig's house, flooing to Gil's office, possibly moving to Gil's quarters depending on how long Ludwig stays.

WHAT: Sooooo this happened. Now Ludwig is going to try and make it better.

STATUS: ongoing

Ludwig paced the room, glancing at his journal every now and then. He had to fix this, but he couldn't just storm up to the castle at this hour. Well, maybe he could. No. Better to Floo directly to Gilbert. And he shouldn't come empty-handed, either...

He grabbed a six pack and threw Floo powder into his fire. "Professor Beilschmidt's office," he said, and held onto his beer.

Let's Make Some Magic Happen! (Without any!)

2011-10-15T00:28:50Z

WHO: Iroh, and whoever else volunteered for the office rebuild/redecorating
TONE: Lighthearted, possibly a little sad
RATING: PG
WHEN: Friday starting around mid morning, continuing on all day, and possibly having to be continued Saturday (I will post a reply in the entry for Saturday if it comes to that!)
WHERE: Iroh's Office, and the general vacinity.
WHAT: Rebuilding things and redecorating and painting and being awesome.
STATUS: Open and Ongoing until it's officially declared finished.
FORMAT: Action or prose-y, I will try and suit your preference. Sometimes I have trouble with prose, so I might switch to action for the sake of being able to continue the thread! I will start out with action, but feel free to use your own when you respond.

[Iroh is standing outside of his office, in front of a medium-sized table which has a pot of steaming hot tea, as well as a large plate filled high with cookies courtesy of the house elves. The door to his office is ajar, giving a view of the ruined, charred mess within. The remains of a few of the larger pieces of furniture can be seen, though there is hardly anything left of them, and the faint smell of smoke is slowly drifting through the open door.

For those perceptive enough, they will notice that Iroh isn't entirely like himself. The usually cheerful and genuine man appears slightly drained, slightly more tired than normal. He's trying to hide it, by looking delightfully anxious for the arrival of his team, but the mask isn't as thick as he would like to believe it is.
He's fiddling with the teapot, keeping busy, humming an offtune hum, and though no one might notice, he's avoiding looking toward his office. Not until he has to.]

he's my best friend, best of all best friends

2011-10-13T22:04:14Z

WHO: Axel, Roxas and Xion
TONE: Friendly banter.
RATING: PG-13, if only for Axel's mouth.
WHEN: Late afternoon, after classes.
WHERE: Quidditch practice field.
WHAT: Axel's not seen his sidekicks in a while, so he organizes a get together to catch up, and to have an excuse to throw bludgers at them.
STATUS: ongoing

[It wouldn't be a lie if Axel admitted that this year had swallowed up his personal life. Usually, he was good at keeping his grades up, practicing for Quidditch, and keeping up his many rivalries, but this year had been considerably more difficult. It had taken him until now to have finally gotten it into a place where he could easily juggle, when usually it should've taken him two weeks, tops.

No matter though, Axel had finally managed to set aside some time for a long overdue catch-up session with Roxas and Xion. He figured, since they were both on the Quidditch team too, why not kill two birds with one stone, and get some practice in as well? Which was why Axel was perched on his broom, hovering in mid air with one of his largest Slytherin scarves on, awaiting the arrival of the tiniest Hufflepuffs. He did feel guilty that he'd not seen either of them, but final year was sort of a bitch that way. He almost couldn't wait for it to be over, so he'd never have to read a stupid textbook again.]

C'mon guys, don't leave me hangin'.

2011-10-11T05:06:00Z

WHO: Sid and Crane
TONE: Angsty and probably horrifying, down the road.
RATING: PG-13
WHEN: October 10th
WHERE: Crane's office.
WHAT: Sid goes to talk to Crane about his guilt issues. For some reason.
STATUS: ongoing

Sid was nothing if not insecure. He was a ball of suppressed, confused feelings and second thoughts. Especially now, standing in front of Crane's office, he considered turning around over and over again. But Crane invited him here to talk. And avoiding him would be suspicious, wouldn't it? If Crane even had the slightest idea that they stole the spider...

Awkwardly looking around him, as if he wasn't supposed to be there, Sid took a breath and knocked on the door. This couldn't be too bad, could it? He was a counselor, even if he was a little off.

WHO: Cassie & Thijs
TONE: cute because of bunnies, maybe serious?
RATING: PG
WHEN: 10/9 dinner-time-ish
WHERE: Green Houses
WHAT: Lately, Cassie has been going to the green houses with her dinner, and giving her food to the rabbits.
STATUS: ongoing

Cassie's hand hesitated as she put an apple on her plate, placing it next to pile of raw vegetables. She tried to make eye contact and smile with all her friends at hufflepuff table, just so they remember that she was here with food on her plate. Food that she was going to eat. She is so, totally better, after all.

It's only a few minutes into dinner, when she sees Thijs at the faculty table. Suddenly, she has to dash, and rattles off some excuse to her peers about an assignment she forget. So, she grabs the food on her plate, and bolts out.

But of course she's not going back to the common room. If Thijs is in the Great Hall for dinner, he can't be in the green houses, at least for awhile. So instead, Cassie's there, cutting her dinner of an apple and some vegetables into smaller pieces, and feeding the pieces to the rabbits.

Hogwarts is finally living up to its reputation of nutbaggery

2011-10-08T15:29:48Z

WHO: Ludwig and anyone who has been harmed in this event
TONE: disappointment and mild concern (Ludwig healing people and judging them for being stupid)
RATING: PG-13
WHEN: any time between Wednesday and Saturday, he will have been camping in the hospital wing waiting for the ~~morons~~ patients
WHERE: Hospital wing
WHAT: Ludwig has realized something nutters is going on. He figures he'll be needed most in the hospital wing, so unless he's called out to fix someone on-site, he'll be waiting here.
STATUS: ongoing. If you would like your character to come in with some sort of damage, just reply to the main post with the date and time you arrive.

Ludwig had decided in the interest of fulfilling his oath as a healer, he needed to be at the castle 24/7 until he was sure that things had calmed down. He left Wilhelm with Hagrid for the duration.

Diagnosis: Um...

2011-10-07T13:53:28Z

WHO: Crona, Ludwig, and Fai
TONE: Not sure yet. Maybe funny, maybe serious. Depends on how things go
RATING: PG or PG-13 depending on language
WHEN: 10-6
WHERE: Hufflepuff Common Room
WHAT: The recent even has not been kind to Crona. Fai noticed her entry in the journal and thought it best to try to get whatever it was off of her...or at least try and get it to stop hitting her...
STATUS: Ongoing

Fai slowed down to a brisk walk as he approached the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room. After stopping by the medical wing and explaining as best he could the situation to Ludwig he had run to the entire way, hoping that whatever was going on hadn't hurt his student to badly.

Once through the passageway, he looked around, trying to find Crona.

So I've got a giant key, okay.

2011-10-07T03:28:40Z

WHO: Xion and whoever comes across her
TONE: Silly. Obviously
RATING: PG at the most ~~come on, it's Xion~~
WHEN: 10/6/2011
WHERE: An empty classroom or something, idk
WHAT: Xion discovers she has the weird ability to summon a giant key. SHENANIGANS ENSUE?
STATUS: It never ends

[The first time it happened, Xion was a little surprised. After all, it's a giant key. Although it sort of felt like a sword when she swung it around.

It was fun. Not quite as light as a rapier, but the key was evidently rather attached to her as it flew back into her hands whenever she put it down. No one would notice if she slipped away for a bit and practiced swinging it around for a bit, right? She was practically invisible after all.

Thus, Xion is in an empty room swinging her strange keysword around, possibly giggling at the swoosh sounds it makes as she does.]

WHO: Antonio and Sadik
TONE: A FATED REUNION OF... a dude who beat up another dude ten years ago
RATING: PG - PG-13 ish
WHEN: 10/6/11
WHERE: Astronomy Tower
WHAT: Antonio decides to take a visit to Astronomy Tower to visit the new teacher, only to find a... surprise waiting for him there.
STATUS: ongoing

Sadik thought that his classes had gone well the previous night. There was only so much that could go wrong when all you're doing is looking at the stars and writing what you see. He's going through his own observations from the night and comparing them to what the students handed in, trying to see what they are doing well in and what they need to work on. He sees a couple students who would do well in this class, and others who... well, they might need a bit more work. He lets out a groan and drops the parchment on his desk, getting tired of this already. He figures a break is in order.

He gets up and stretches, moving towards the observation area so he can feel the cold air outside against his skin. Sadik needs the wake up, already missing the coffee that his mother would make him.

but when I get to the doorway, there's no one in sight;

WHO: Ivan and Natalya
TONE: The antics of two rather silly and crazy people.
RATING: PG - PG-13?
WHEN: 10/6/11 - sometime after Ivan gets back from the hospital wing.
WHERE: Ivan's office.
WHAT: Natalya wants to visit her brother, and finds out that that door that's in her way isn't for long.
STATUS: ongoing!

Now, when Natalya had heard that Ivan was having some... difficulty with his heart, she was a little worried. But, her cousin had assured her that everything was fine, and he didn't need her help. Even the nurse had assured her that everything was alright - even if the circumstances were a bit strange. Still, she had watched him quietly from the door of the hospital wing, waiting until he trailed off, going back to his own office to attempt to approach him. There would be no annoying people to bother them in the privacy of Ivan's office, and Natalya could feel the excitement trickling through her veins as she neared his door.

Natalya soon reached his office - and hummed slightly in disappointment, finding that he had shut the door behind him as he'd entered. Well, that was no matter - she would find her way in one way or another.

"Brother," she called, a slight hint of worry to her voice. "Brother, are you alright?"

2011-10-05T19:37:51Z

WHO: Naveen and Lauren
TONE: Silly and strange
RATING: PG?
WHEN: Early on the fifth.
WHERE: Gryffindor Common Room
WHAT: Lauren finds a frog in the Common Room. Only this frog is one of her classmates.
STATUS: Ongoing

It kept going the same way. He'd call up to people, and they'd either ignore him, too caught up in their own strange changes, or look from side to side, see no one, shrug, and go on their way.

Even the rare one or two who looked down assumed they were looking at someone's pet.

Naveen wasn't sure why he'd awoken a frog, but he had. And, to his credit, he'd been quite alright just going along with it at first. He'd find a Professor and this would be fixed, right?

But then he'd made it down to the Common Room and it seemed everyone had something strange going on that day. Which meant, quite simply, that there was chaos.

The kind of chaos a frog could easily get squished in. Suddenly, it was a lot more important to get help, or at least get out of there. But the stairs to the boys' room suddenly seemed so far away; he'd ended up dodging feet until he was in the middle of the common room.

Speaking of dodging feet... He hopped out of the way just in time to avoid being stepped on, shouting in exasperation as he did so.

"Does no one look where they are going?"
