Hey there, people! This is bound to get a little long so I apologize for being a wordy bitch ahead of time. :P
Outside of two awesome parties, one for the Death Eater crowd at Malfoy Manor and one for the Order and unaffiliated at some warehouse?NOTSURELOL, there is also a game-wide subplot for Halloween and the week or so after it.
The night before/early morning of Halloween, James Potter will uncover a Metropolitan police plot to raid Diagon Alley in the near future, with the help of a group of rogue wizards. Their intent is to force all wizards at that location to either register, or go to jail. James will not have access to the list of traitors, because it is not at the local precinct he has been spying on, so he will forward what information he does have to Dumbledore.
Late Halloween night, James will be called to Dumbledore’s office to discuss the intel he gathered and Dumbledore will order him and (up to) four other Order members to sneak into Metro headquarters to find the names of the traitors. (Seniority in the order will decide who goes with James if we end up with more than four volunteers.) Because time is of the essence, the recon of Metro HQ will be set for Monday night.
Now this is essential to understand - every member of this team will be arrested, detained and forced to register. The raid plans, as it turns out, were leaked on purpose because Metro suspected they had a spy snooping around. (Up to) Five of the wizards who are set to raid Diagon Alley will be lying in wait for the Order spy team and they will assist in their capture.
Mi-X will be contacted to provide support at the jail location. An additional (up to) five guards will be on rotation at the jail with the five who captured them - for a total of (up to) ten guards for the Metropolitan police department. (Those that volunteer for any of the traitors must either register, already be registered, or be able to fake a registry, meaning they must be either wealthy or well-connected.) Death Eaters are encouraged to volunteer, as long as they stay disguised for the duration of the capture and guard duty. That means not in Death Eater masks since the police are aware of DE at this point. Think transfiguration, polyjuice, good old fashioned disguises, etc.
As for whether or not the Death Eaters are on orders to be there, the answer is yes, to an extent. Lord Voldemort organized the raid plans and the list of 'rogue' wizards (full of many fake names that are only registered 'shells'). He then sent the plans and list along through DE intermediaries, knowing Metro would jump on the chance. Once they accepted, he suggested Metro had a spy, and that they should draw out any opposition before moving forward. Voldemort obviously would not have carried through with the raid. It's just a decoy set up to pull some of the Order out of hiding. He has not openly ordered any one person to assist in the capture or guard team, but he has had the Inner Circle encourage the younger Death Eaters to volunteer.
Mi-X members can volunteer for rotation guard duty only, not capture team. All guards will be on call and will be expected to report immediately in the case of an emergency. Since there will be Death Eaters in one or both of the Metro teams, those on the spying team will be outed as members of the Order.
There is more to this subplot involving additional sign-ups, so if you don’t get in on this round, know you may have another chance! The second part of this plot will be released in approximately one week. We suggest you talk out the details with us and each other. We’d love to see a lot of activity with this, and will be glad to help you come up with ideas!
We hope you guys are excited! There are lot of opportunities for great logs and journal entries here and we’re looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Happy Halloween!
