( Who really knew what constituted as stare-worthy in this place? )

I've been trying to think of ways we can help the people here, what with the differences in magic and all that, and I think I might be onto something... but I need some help.

I grabbed a sample of the dirt from where the skeletons were being dug up, figuring I could test it for magical properties, however it's not responding to my magic. Would any other magic users like to take a crack at it? I had an idea involving weaponizing the land, for lack of a better way of putting it, by using whatever sympathetic magic might have leeched into the land to create a trap of some sort for anyone not native to these lands.

I managed to make a simple sleeping powder, but I haven't tested it on anyone but myself yet... and trust me it does a number on you.

Who: Draco/Caleb
When: morning, November 2nd
Where: the hotel
What: Draco meets another wizard

( Who are you? )

I have money left that I'm unlikely to spend. If you need anything, let me know here or in a private message. I can't guarantee that I'll get what you want, since I'll try to sort in terms of need and not want, but I'll try to get as much as I can with what I have.

Who: Cal Kestis and Roman Godfrey
When: November 2nd, late morning
Where: Amidst many shops
What: Getting their shopping on
Warning: None yet

( One of the people he had encountered that he particularly liked spending some time with was Roman. )

Who: John Connor and ANY
When: 1 November
Where: The Hotel
What: John's getting acclimated to wherever this is
( I didn't get killed and she didn't kill anyone. I'd say it was a good day. )

Bucky and I were talking about our stay here. As you've probably seen, I've texted the Conductor to see if there was some guidance on what we are meant to do, but none is coming at the moment, so we're left guessing.

Back in London, we needed to keep the status quo. Here, it seems likely that we need to do the same (yes, it's a guess). The status quo would mean to protect Necrohelm on a permanent basis. This requires more than fight whoever comes through. For this reason, I'm asking anyone with magical abilities if there's anyway you think you can help to create a more sustainable barrier and not just a temporary fix.

Obviously I know nothing about magic and its properties, so I'm opening this group chat up for discussion. Also Tony, maybe we can integrate technology with magic. I don't know if it's possible, but something to consider.

Also since Draco's phone is apparently not working, can someone let him know.

I was going through my rather large collection of items I have purchased and acquired while here in Necrohelm and I realized that transporting it all back to the bus, whenever it comes, might be quite a few substantial arm loads....

So I've placed an extension charm on my suitcase and space is no longer an issue. I thought I should mention it if anyone else might be interested in having their suitcase modified. No worries, the charm will stay. It may be useful moving forward. Who knows what you will find that you want and really who knows how much of a hassle it will be to transport home.

Let me know if you are interested.

Who: Open
When: Evening/Night, Halloween
Where: No Saints Cemetery
What: There's a game, a party and skeletons.

- The two teams are filled by monsters of all types, and the normal rules don't apply. Vamps mesmerize, wizards cast spells, giants try to step on their rivals. The population doesn't seem to care about the score, but how many are injured. Apparently the game never reaches a conclusion, because too many players are incapacitated. This year is no different.
- The cemetery is filled with flowers and candles. People have brought food and drinks.
- They start to dig up the coffins after the game.
- At midnight, the skeletons come back to life and meet up with their families.

So who's going to the game tomorrow? Apparently it's a whole affair that starts with football and ends with digging up skeletons.

Only in this place.

Who: Bucky Barnes
When: 29 October -
Where: The mountain outside the hotel
What: Things are confusing and Bucky is very confused and alone.
( It always ends in a fight. -- Bucky Barnes )

Who: Steve/Tony
When: morning, October 29
Where: The woods near Sky Valley
What: They spar and they talk

( Fighting and talking )

I need to do some training. What do you think about you and your suit against me and my shield? Tomorrow?

WHO: Sirius Black and James Potter, background presence of ghosts and such
WHEN: October 28, late.
WHERE: Drop off point from the bus, then Count Chocula.
WHAT: Sirius arrives and immediately sets about tracking down his best friend.
WARNING: So far: Swearing, brief violence against something hairy and bitey.

( Potion vials shift silently in the lining of his black-and-white pinstripe tuxedo, blood-red phoenix cufflinks gleam in the cuffs of his white dress shirt, and a tattoo of a lily opens and closes its petals across the back of his right hand. The suitcase with his leather jacket and drainpipe jeans is nestled into his trouser pocket, the size of a single silver sickle. The scent that clings to him is the sharp, unexpected tang of citrus. )

Who: Roman/Loki
When: lunchtime, October 28
Where: the veranda
What: A new encounter

Who: Draco/Remus
When: morning, October 28
Where: the library
What: They talk about the barrier

( Let's save a barrier )

Dear Remus,

I have an idea about protecting the barrier. It's rather complex and would require a lot of magic and work. Before I speak with the mayor, I wanted to run it by you and see what you think. At work, I'd run it by Bill, and we all know that all Gryffindors are interchangeable when you want someone to go along with a crazy plan.

Anxiously Awaiting,
Draco

Who: James/Prongs and Roman Godfrey
When: October 27, lunchtime
Where: Spooky Forest, Opalescent Mire
What: Fairy lights, anyone?
Warning: None yet

( James took a blissfully thoughtless step forward )
