lightning_war post recap: 1-14 November 2008
Game date and time: Wednesday evening, 16 September 1942:
Announcements:
* Lightning War is currently hosted on Insane Journal. If you are reading this on Live Journal or through an RSS feed, links will work, but clicking on journal names probably won't--or will take you somewhere irrelevant. A lot of our journals on Insane Journal have names we might have liked to have on Live Journal, but someone else had already snagged them.
* Since our last recap, there hasn't been anything else posted on the Lightning Watch LiveJournal. But it never hurts to check! (You may need to be a member of that community to access locked posts.)
* puzzlement's husband is participating in Movember and growing a ridiculous moustache in order to help combat prostate cancer. If you would like to help make his efforts (and her consternation, hee) worthwhile you may donate here. Donations over $2 are tax-deductible if you keep records of that sort of thing.
Completed/Continuing Open Threads:
Callista Lovelace thinks things haven't improved as much as they need to at Hogwarts, despite Goyle's best efforts. Her friends Mercuria, Dio and Jon try to cheer her up a bit. (Closed and complete.)
The Malfoys have returned to Hogwarts. Liane Malfoy and Valeria Zabini are sorted at luncheon, but Moruith myr'Steren is not. Kat and Lucius are reunited. Callista Lovelace breaks down, and her brother Ambrose and cousins Martial and Mercuria take her somewhere else. Colette Saint-Germain is not pleased to see Liane. Ianthe Pritchard and Arianwen Rosier are not pleased with Colette Saint-Germain, or Aurélien Jeannot. Moruith impresses Ianthe. Liane makes her peace with Reynard Saint-Germain; Reynard's girlfriend, Felicity Greengrass, is not happy about it. (Closed and complete.)
Colette Saint-Germain's ugly story about Liane is being repeated. When Benito Quirke overhears it, he is moved to action...but of what sort? (Closed and complete.)
Liane Malfoy, accompanied by Moruith, her cousin Charis, and a few of the fans she doesn't know she has yet, tells Colette Saint-Germain and Aurélien Jeannot off during tea in the Snake Pit. A few people lose points for inappropriate language at House tea. Amalthea Flint decides she's had enough and convenes a meeting of the Slytherin girls' prefects with Liane and Colette. Liane wins. Charis doesn't, entirely. Ianthe Pritchard takes Colette aside to help her get control of herself. Meanwhile, the gossip continues as Patty Rosier and Maeve Pritchard try to make sense of it all. Valeria also tells off Aurélien. Horace Rookwood, Reynard Saint-Germain and Austin Parkinson discuss what should be done about Colette and Aurélien. Dimity introduces Valeria to the boys, and Olive Hornby and Edouard Lestrange introduce themselves to Valeria after Dimity goes off with Horace (presumably to talk about Colette). Valeria comes up with a good lie to explain her engagement to Alessio. Austin Parkinson comes to a few unpleasant realisations. Arianwen chats with everyone, and then Valeria takes an interest in Tom Riddle. Lucius Malfoy does not understand why this bothers him.(Closed and complete.)
New Posts:
Ryan Pettigrew isn't pleased to see the Malfoys back in school.
Valeria Zabini wrestles with her identity and heritage.
In the Daily Prophet, the installation of Estrid Farryll as Lord Farryll's regent and the deaths of William Arundel Lovelace, Lydia Hawke Lovelace, and William Lovelace Jr are announced. There is also a letter to the editor from Estrid Farryll demanding that Hogwarts be closed.
Ianthe Pritchard is deeply upset at the inability of Aurélien Jeannot and Colette Saint-Germain to handle their emotions, and is trying to decide if she wants to save Aurélien or just his business from himself.
Martial Casaubon is trying to deal with his own feelings about the death of his aunt and uncle while taking care of his cousins Ambrose and Callista and his little sister Mercuria, and he dearly hopes that Liane Malfoy--his academic crush since 1939--won't hold that against him.
Rainer Pfeifenberger is feeling rather glum about the future.
Lucius Malfoy waxes philosophical about grief, particularly the kind you can't admit in public, which he knows is a problem for his little girlfriend Kat Lovegood.
Halász Sharolt thinks she spoke to Naszvadi Lili, even though Lili is in Britannia and Sharolt...isn't. She also thinks she sees a way to get everyone out but she isn't sure it will work. She hopes Lili will tell her girlfriend, Király Ilóna, where Sharolt and her friends are and that they need help.
Dimity Ducas is worried about her friends and feeling the sting of conflicting loyalties all over again, as if the mess with Crockford wasn't bad enough.
Joachim Piccard has work to do but he can't get the War Bureau to let him do it, and he's irritated as hell with his lover Viresh Patil's co-workers.
Igor Karkaroff is looking forward to going into business.
And he wants Raissa Kerensky to know this.
Lavinia Scalara questions Vincent Rosenthal about the Malfoy girls, and briefs him for the extraction he and St John Saunders are about to attempt.
Séverine Malfoy is genuinely frightened and at a complete loss for an explanation of where she and her party are or how they might have arrived there. But she thinks Peter Dolohov is involved and possibly present.
Liane Malfoy is afraid to trust Dracaena and even more afraid to cast an astrological chart for herself and Michel Rosenthal to see if their feelings are as innocent as she has always maintained they are or if there is something more to it.
Endymion Dashwood has harsh words for Aurélien Jeannot.
Annie Lovegood feels a complete failure at both prefecting and being a girl in general.
Jenica Popescu feels rather overextended.
Jael Moody is feeling a little unwelcome and a little uncomfortable with her current situation despite her gratitude for having been saved from certain death.
Austin Parkinson feels duped by Liane Malfoy and is confirmed in his belief that the Malfoys should never be trusted.
Ambrose Lovelace grieves his family and is worried about the Casaubons' motives.
Halász Sándor would like to ask Fujiwara Kenjiro and Joachim Piccard some very pointed questions.
New Journals:
None this time.
Here's the list of who's where on Insane Journal.
Renamed Journals:
None this time.
New Graphics:
Jack Randall, Kafziel and Nicolas de Marigny all have new userpics.
Please be patient with us as many of the new journals are not yet set up and do not yet have proper layouts. I'm 2/3 way done with my own and then I'll be able to help other people. Once all the old journals are laid out at all, new layouts will again be noteworthy.
Under New Management:
There are a lot of characters that are currently open. Check out the Adoptable Characters page for descriptions of the kinds of adoptions that are open and lists of characters available for each. If you are not sure, ask. :)
