I would just like to point out that I literally laughed out loud upon reading the responses to Flint's threats.

"Challenge accepted".

LOVE YOU GUYS.

*Note: I am in extremely good spirits as I am on a solid five day break from medical school. YAY! :D

Okay guys! Fourteen Shades is officially up and running. Pop on over to the OOC and read the intro, then feel free to start posting and whatnot. I'm going to be finishing up sending out the invites in the next half hour (I fell asleep last night, sorry :p) but if I missed anyone, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks!

On another note, Lockewood has been amazing, and I hope that my wonderful comod Maxi and I can continue to run this game with the same spirit and dedication that Mari, Myriam, and Vt did. We're going to do our best to make it just as much of a grand experience, and we're grateful to everyone who's coming over and entrusting us with this opportunity. I'm so excited to be doing this, I've probably annoyed the crap out of Maxi with my constant 2am messaging and emailing and blathering on about random ideas and plots we can do. ;) So thank you everyone who is coming over, it means a lot to us!

I'm going to be posting updates and last-minute pieces of information throughout the day, so bear with me please, but it'll be worth it!

So let's get this show on the road, shall we? >:D ONWARD!

♥ Holly

farewell, lockewood~ [May. 22nd, 2012|10:21 pm]

3 years, 2 months and 5 days ago, lockewood opened with its first thread between my teddy lupin and another player's regulus.

wowza, right? this loony idea i had became a game thanks to everyone who thought it'd be fun to toy around with their characters in a world where skeeter was the crazy bitch in control of everything. and i have to thank each and every writer who was a part of making it happen, past and present. you are all pretty fantastic people i must say. i was even fortunate enough to meet a few lovely lockewood-dwelling folks in person.

it's been amazing fun to run this game, but no game is without downs and drama and the whole shebang. there were times when i felt like throwing my arms up and letting the game go. luckily, i had two wonderful ladies supporting me and keeping the game afloat. i think they deserve the most recognition for how long this game has lasted.

veetee is truly an incredible writer. she commanded the voices of so many different characters in lockewood, i can't even wrap my head around how much talent she has as a novelist. it was her passion for the game that kept me inspired to keep going on the days when it seemed like lockewood was on its last limb. she's hilarious, inspiring, and brilliant. she provided the game with marvelously evil plots and heart-wrenchingly good storylines. in my experience of roleplaying, it's not all that common that you come across a player with her level of enthusiasm and commitment. i cannot thank her enough for all the ways that she has shaped me as a writer.

myriam is seriously the best. i love her endlessly forever. without her lockewood would have fallen apart about a year ago. maybe even earlier than that. she became the true moddess of this game. most of the plots that we played out were thoroughly thought-out and crafted by her. but she wasn't just the driving force behind all the deliciously wicked plots. her characters were incredibly developed and true to the books. their voices tugged on my heart, made me laugh, and even made a lot of onions appear out of no where underneath my eyes. thanks to her, characters that i didn't much care for or think about became fleshed out and engaging. i honestly didn't like harry all that much until she picked him up and then BAM i LOVED him. and out of all of this, i've acquired a really close friend who i cherish and adore and love like a gryffindor loves clobbering evil faces <3

it's been a pleasure, my darlings. thank you for sticking around for all the fun and mayhem we've concocted here. i look forward to playing with you all in other games. and i especially look forward to playing with you all in holly's game.

thank you, lockewood.

mucho love~

Have a good weekend y'all!

Hey guys,

So ...that whole, I'VE GOT INTERNET NOW! Thing? Lies. My ISP is a liar. I don't have Internet. I have a possessed router that stays on when you unplug it and makes odd static noises. My router belongs in paranormal activity. My router sucks. It's been acting up the entire week ish I've had it, and I can't get a tech out until next week. Raaaaaaaage. Ugh. So, sorry if I havent responded to anything. I'm still up for plotting via aim and whatnot. Please. Please do that. I want all plots. And something to keep me sane. I can has?

So um, I'll be back more regularly next week. Aaaaasghkskwiwjde. Sorries. D:

Hi there, muffins! It's Soph here, (I play Theo, Narcissa, Molly and Alicia) and I'm bringing my fifth and final character Ted Tonks!!!

His pastimes include trolling the Blacks by shagging Andy in various rooms of their house and living to tell the tale, being a doting dad to his (in his time) five year old daughter Nympha Dora, nursing sick puppies, kittens, and various other animals to health and being a Peter Parker type researcher for the Daily Prophet. He only really knows Rita by being that 'weird witch who starts all those watercoolery conversations, but do wizards have watercoolers?' Verbatim, really. He's very quirky, too. And extremely linguistic, even if he is a little bit dim. But he's prepared to make people happy and is very easy to make friends with!

He's working as a Mediwizard, and is living with Rowena Ravenclaw. I'm putting up a journal post soonly, so come over and say hayyyy!

Hey guys, it’s Amber! What’s up?

I have with me the ever lovely Hannah Abbott who is still years and years away from becoming Mrs. Longbottom. She’s twenty two year old, and she just started working at the Leaky Cauldron. She loves to cook and is terrified of clowns.

She’s pretty lovable. Very friendly, and believes almost everything that she’s told. She’s very much the people pleasing sort, and is always smiling. She is unfortunately Lockewoods butcher (she’s really not happy about that, at all). She lives at 26 quills and is going to be living with Professor Dumbledore, which she’s a little 0.o about, given that he’s supposed to be dead and all.

Plots? Yes? SHE WANTS ALL OF THE HUFFLEPUFFS.

OH! Her bio/personality/fun stuff can be found here. And her first post, which everyone should comment on, is here!

I have been gone for so flippin' long, I feel like I need flash cards to keep up with everything. But since our neighborly mods have been NPC-ing Euan Abercrombie in my entirely too long absence, I'm going to try my hardest to catch up. Quickly. A re-introduction and some discussion of old/new plotlines would be really, very helpful though.

Since it has been forever and a day, I'm sure there are new players/characters that I don't know — can't wait to meet you! I'm Rocy, and I've only got the one kidlet right now. You can catch me on AIM at 'ohrocy' some of the time, and I'm almost always available over email (ohrocy@gmail.com). As you can tell, I am super clever when it comes to naming my personal accounts. Woo!

Euan Abercrombie, on the other hand, can be found either in the greenhouse or underneath the counter at the Florist's. Yes, I said underneath the counter. It's dark and cosy. Don't judge. He's nineteen, has been in Lockewood for entirely too long, and enjoys spliff, making the most of life, along with anything borderline illegal — or 'naughty', as he might say. Everything else can be found in his journal, I think? Oh, and he prefers to go commando. Not strictly relevant, but you never know, right?

Plot? Plans? Undying love declarations? I'm not choosy!

Hi there. Just popping in to give you all an inactivity notice. I've recently been the victim of a traumatic incident (I'll call it workplace bullying and leave it at that), which has made me to decide to take some time to review my options. I'll still be tagging to posts and comments, but it won't be as often. Sorry if any inconvenience is caused.

Weekly Update

You guys are amazing. Thank you all for participating in our de-aging plot. We had so much fun, and it was thanks to you guys!

As always, if you have plot ideas, please don’t hesitate to throw them at us! It would be our pleasure to make your plot dreams come true.

Upcoming Plot

We shall name this one The Angst Plot.

It will take place April 1st to April 7th. It would therefore be completely understandable if your characters thought this was all some sort of cruel April Fools joke, at first.

Technically, that’s exactly what it is.

Picture two Lockewoods standing side by side. They are identical in every single way; the houses are in the same places, the businesses are in the same places, the lake is in the same place. They are identical.

Except for one important fact; while one is teeming with people, the other is empty.

So what would happen, do you think, if Skeeter were to decide to populate this second Lockewood with half the villagers from the first Lockewood?

Simply put, for a week, Lockewood will be divided into two places. What this means, is that approximately half the current residents of Lockewood will end up in L1, and approximately half will end up in L2. These two divided Lockewoods will not look any different from the Lockewood the residents have come to know. Essentially, it will appear to all residents of Lockewood that half of the villagers have simply... disappeared, been returned home, in some cases, to die.

RULES! (because we need rules...)
- No, your brilliant, genius, absolutely unbelievably clever character CANNOT guess or know that this is a ‘parallel universe’ situation. Everyone who has ‘left Lockewood’ has left Lockewood. End of story.
- Residents of L1 cannot interact with residents of L2 in any manner (including journals), and vice versa.
- Please write either L1 or L2 in the subject line of all journal posts during the week, to simplify matters for the other players -- ie. so that they know whether they can have their character reply to yours or if they cannot.
- Because a full half of the residents are missing, house elves will be brought in by Skeeter to fill in the gaps at most businesses, to keep them running. You may NPC them. We’d prefer your characters didn’t take their frustrations out on them through decapitation or other forms of violence, but if that’s what they really need, the elves will simply be replaced. Keep in mind though, your character may get a bill for damages at the end of the month if they choose to go that route.
- Characters’ possessions will move with them. They won’t be missing any of their stuff, unless they ‘borrowed’ it from someone who has ‘left the village’.
- Characters will wake up Monday morning (April 1st) exactly where they were Sunday night. There isn’t any clue whatsoever that they’ve moved.

So. Where are your characters?

L1
Alphard, Orion, Edgar, Susan, Karam, Cho, Antonin, Albus, Arabella, Helga, Lee, Rowena, Rodolphus, Alice, Neville, Luna, Remus, Draco, Alsev, Harry, James, Jamie, Theodore, Zach, Alicia, Charlie, Fleur, Molly, Percy, Septimus, Victoire

L2
Euan, Katie, Bellatrix, Regulus, Sirius, Walburga, Amelia, Colin, Cedric, Angelina, Teddy, Ben, Ernie, Gellert, Godric, Frank, Narcissa, Scorpius, Ginny, Lilu, Lily, Evan, Salazar, Nymphadora (:p), Emmeline, Bill, Fred, George, Ron, Oliver

How will they react to the news that their loved ones are gone? Who will they turn to? Think about it! You have a week. *starts timer*

Birthdays This Week

March 27th - Arabella Figg and James Potter
March 28th – Zacharias Smith
April 1st - Fred and George Weasley

Happy Birthday, lady and gentlemen!

New Characters

Elphias Doge disappears from the village Monday morning. Let me tell you, I’m heartbroken. Really, though.

But Emmeline Vance comes in to soften the blow, so it’s not all bad! Please welcome Leia who will be playing her for us.

Soooo, I can't justify dragging this out any longer. James muse hasn't left me, but real life was a little much so I'm trimming away my RP life to help compensate. Which means that, AS MUCH AS I LOVE YOU ALL FR RL BECAUSE OMFG YOU'RE AMAZING, I need to leave Lockewood. :[

I hope this doesn't cause any of you as much sadness as it does me, because OMFG MOONY AND PADFOOT AND LILY AND GEORGE AND JUST EVERYONE. ;___; Sigh. It's been fun.

Don't be sad, because James will check on you even if you run away to the loo. oyayimadearhyme.

I am so sorry that I dropped off the face of the Earth for several days! My computer got what my boyfriend calls one of the top ten, worst viruses you could possibly have and I thought it was totally dead. However, after working on it for several days, rescuing all my teacher documents (we're talking over two years of work that I would have been devastated to lose, omg!), and starting my system from scratch (and putting in anti-virus stuff so I can't pick up another virus), he finally fixed it! We totally thought it was dead, but thank goodness it's not because who can afford a new computer right now?

Anyway, I think I've missed out on the latest plot (which I hope isn't true!), so could someone catch me up?

Thanks y'all! <3

Hello team! Sorry I've been quiet for the past few days.

I got sick, then I went on an apartment-hunting trip for a couple of days, but I'm back now!

I don't think I have any threads running at present (if I do, please fill me in, because I suck). BUT if anyone wants one with ickle!Ced or with Angie or Susan, let me know!

Hi guys! *waves* Just wanted to say that I will be out of town the next few days on a mini vacay! I promised my husband I wouldn't take my computer *grumbles* so I won't be around until Wednesday morning at the earliest. See you all soon :)

Well! At the risk of jinxing myself, there seems to be free wifi in this building, at least for the time being. Unless me and a bunch of other people are being massively trolled, which is possible, but whatever. So I have internet! Whoo! Your regularly scheduled...whatever will now resume.

Good Morning all! My name is JenJen and I actually seem to know a fair number of you from a displacement game or two! Only instead of this guy most of you would know me as the Regulus player from Tricksters and/or Collectors though those of you from Collectors will also know this guy because well...he's Frank frigging Longbottom! Auror Extraordinaire!

Firstly Frank is related to like everyone...seriously, so there is potential for a lot of interaction there and secondly Frank is pretty darn awesome and is a popular Auror so even more interaction there! He's coming from 1980 from right before he and Alice were to find out the gender of their little Neville or Samantha; so he's 24; already an Order Member; Husband and all of that fun stuff! He's not the nicest guy when he's working...so if you had characters being trained by him in the Auror programme than I am reallllly sorry, but outside of that he is very approachable; is a Gryffindor Alumni that did annual year-end streaks...and mid-year streaks...and well he can't turn down a dare so he ended up streaking a lot. Sorry to anyone whose innocence was robbed because of this. He was Head Boy his 7th year so anyone who went to school with this kid probably knows him.

His app is HERE for your viewing pleasure if you have not yet seen the glory that is Mr Longbottom and/or if you just want to relive the glory days!

I can be reached via:

e-mail: ontheriaultj88[@]gmail.com

If you can't catch me on aim then don't hesitate to e-mail me as I have it hooked up to my phone so I will get it pretty quickly :)

Hi everyone! I bring you Alice Longbottom. Mrs. Longbottom has been a certifiable ass kicking Auror for a little over a year and enjoys dueling almost as much as she loves flying. She is friendly and energetic and loves most everyone. I think it's fairly obvious who she might not be so happy to see. *coughs* Bad people *coughs* but yeah.


And as for myself, I am Kat, I'm 26 and I'm from the great state of Texas. (Howdy Howdy and all that) I'm glad to to make all of your acquaintances and I can't wait to start writing!
