ONGOING: Dementors are still being sighted with more frequency across wizarding Britain. (CAROLINE, DEDALUS and VOLUNTEERS 1 for run-ins.)
22nd: Happy birthday, GRACE! Today you wake up and find your trainers have turned into clown shoes overnight.
23rd: Happy birthday, FLEUR! Today, when you look outside your window, you find a mob of sheep outside your door.
25th: A pair of giants pay HESTIA's town, Tinworth, a visit. They contact the DRCMC, but once again, no one is sent to help them. The damage is explained away to Muggle residents as being caused by a gas explosion.
27th: Happy birthday, ANGELINA! Today you're serenaded with "Happy Birthday" by a group of fans in a public toilet.
27th: Happy birthday, ZENOBIA! Today you keep finding handfuls of sand in your pockets.
28th: Hogwarts holds its first Hogsmeade weekend of the new school year. Madam Rosmerta wonders if it's just her, but do the students seem more tense than usual this year?
29th: The Daily Prophet publishes an article about Diagon Alley businesses they believe are flouting the law that prohibits citizens from helping Muggleborns. (BETTY to write the article. OBSCURUS BOOKS, WWW and BUSINESS VOLUNTEERS 4 to get caught up in this even if they haven't been helping. You can volunteer any business your character or NPCs frequent/own. Purist businesses are exempt!)
30th: Happy birthday, MOLLY! Today you find out you've won a year's supply of hot sauce.
31st: Happy Halloween! Starbeaks launches another limited edition latte to celebrate and this time they swear it does what it says on the tin. For one day only, customers can buy a Phantom Latte, which will grant the drinker ten full minutes of invisibility!
31st: For the first time since 2002, Godric's Hollow cancels its annual memorial ceremony for the late James and Lily Potter. MADDIE and HITWIZARD VOLUNTEER 6 are instructed to guard the memorial statue to make sure no one tries to revive the ceremony.
1st: In the early hours of the morning, an explosion rocks Diagon Alley. Residents might wander out of their homes to discover the brick wall leading into Diagon Alley has been destroyed. This renders the magical boundaries of the area temperamental and getting in and out of Diagon Alley will be unpredictable for the next three days. (IDK and LUCIUS to blow up the wall. GWEN to cover it.)
1st: The Ministry owls all Diagon Alley businesses not owned by purists, issuing a fine for assisting the Wandless regardless of whether they have been or not.
1st: Happy birthday, LEE! Today when you get dressed you find all of your trousers are two sizes too small.
2nd: Happy All Souls' Day! In honor of some of her biggest fans on their special day, Celestina Warbeck drops a new single called Any Spirit Will Do, a song about a lonely women at a bar, lamenting her lost ghost lover. The song has the magical side effect of being very soothing and calming to spirits.
3rd:PENNY is playing the new Celestina Warbeck single when they encounter a couple of dementors. It doesn't work as well as it does on ghosts, but it seems to pacify the dementors enough for them to escape!
4th: The Ministry bans the new Celestina Warbeck single. (MEDIA VOLUNTEER 11 to cover it.)
5th: Happy birthday, OLIVER! Today you find a festive infestation of purple mushrooms in your garden.
6th: Happy birthday, EVELYN! Today the occupants of a hot air balloon call out to you and wave.
9th:STURGIS breaks the Taboo on Voldemort's name. DEATH EATER VOLUNTEER 12 and DEATH EATER VOLUNTEER 13 respond to this alert.
NOTES
Just as a heads up, we're planning on closing holds during the month of December.
We'll be posting a log challenge on the 1st to help anyone who's doing the RPWRIMO challenge this year.
