April Fool's & Various
Me again, with several things to say:

1. April Fool's Day is coming up, so I thought we'd have another little event. This time WWW has a new product - Tongue Twisters! In the days running up to April 1st characters will see boxes of these beautiful chocolates lying around at Finnigan's, the Leaky and being sent as gifts to the Ministry, Daily Prophet, St Mungo's, etc with little 'FREE SAMPLE' stickers. On April 1st any character who has eaten one will suffer one of the following conditions:

a. Must refer to themselves in the third person.
b. Unable to use anyone's first name.
c. Must only use words of one syllable.
d. Unable to use the words 'yes' or 'no'.
e. Unable to use words which begin with the same letter as their first name.

These conditions affect speech only, not the written word, and will last until midnight. Unless your character is able to track down and shake hands with someone who is suffering the same condition, in which case both characters will be cured immediately. (Each character can only cure one other character.)

If you want to play, please comment with your character(s) before Tuesday 31st March. Conditions will be allocated randomly unless you have a special request.

2. Schedule - I've decided I'm going to start posting a weekly schedule which will look something like this:

Monday 30th March - Gobstones
Tuesday 31st March - Pub Quiz - General Knowledge + Potions Bonus Round
Tuesday 31st March - Duelling Club - Shielding spells + One-on-one practice
Wednesday 1st April - April Fool's Day
Wednesday 1st April - Choir
Thursday 2nd April - Wizarding Chess Championship - Mrs Wiseacre (NPC) v Tristan Travers
Friday 3rd April - Good Friday - Bank Holiday
Friday 3rd April - Open Mike Night - Instrumental
Saturday 4th April -
Sunday 5th April - Easter Sunday - Bank Holiday
Sunday 5th April - Millicent's Birthday
Sunday 5th April - Battlescars - Nightmares & Sleeping

If you have any ideas for themes for the quiz / duelling club / open mike night / battlescars, or any other special events or activities you want to have added you can e-mail / IM / contact me or comment to any of the other schedules. Ideas will be welcomed and appreciated by yours truly.

3. Activity Check is happening next Wednesday (April 1st) so make sure your characters have three journal posts / logs by then if possible.

Th-th-th-th-th-th-that's all folks!

Blaise, Hermione, and Marietta will all be effected.

Also, are we up for the thing on Saturday that Mari is planning?

I'd love for her to advertise by Wednesday. Teams of 2 with an entry fee that would cover the cost of 3 drinks per person. One team member is the Drink Maker and the other the Task Master. It would look like this...

Step 1: Drink Maker mixes a preselected random drink recipe and both drink
Step 2: Task Master must then using a toothpick only and their mouth move five lifesaver candies from the table top into a cup.
Step 3: Drink Maker mixes a second preselected random drink recipe and both drink
Step 4: Task Master has to climb through an obstacle course of chairs and tables by going over chairs and under tables. If a chair is knocked over they have to reset and restart.
Step 5: Drink Maker mixes a third preselected random drink recipe and both drink.
Step 6: Task Master has to put on an ensemble of muggle clothing from underwear all the way up over their clothes and then sucessfully undress.

First team to complete all 6 are the winners. Thoughts? I'd do a sub thread for each duo of tasks.

	I think the sweets you're thinking of for Step 2 aren't available in the UK, but Polos have the same shape and would work just as well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And that is why I need people who are UK knowledable. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Absolutely still up for Saturday fun. Is Mari going to judge? Is there anything she needs Seamus or Dominic to do? Also, you can take your pick of garden / roost. Caroline is right in that we don't have lifesavers here, but polo mints are the same shape. Other than that, it all looks great! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She'll need Seamus to set the entry fee so he doesn't lose money on the venture. Also, Dominic could design the obstacle course. Let's go for the Roost around 7 pm. Yay for people who know the ins and outs of making my American ideas British. (Reply to this) (Parent)
