What: Pepper is drunk and bored and rampantly traversing the journals being an arsehole just isn't as fun as visiting Aloysius.
Status: Complete

The problem with being a functioning alcoholic was that, no matter how functioning you were, you were still an alcoholic. Therefore it wasn't exactly a surprise that Pepper had been sitting in a bar since leaving work, getting steadily tipsier with each successive beer, but with the institution of the curfew it was getting harder to have a decent night out. While he could easily enough flash his badge and hedge his way out of being hassled, most people couldn't, so when the bartender announced five to eight the ambient population of the room sort of... started lacking.

Sighing, he paid up the last of his tab and headed out to the street. Home sounded unappealing right now, but luckily that was what he had long-suffering, endlessly patient friends for - and Aloysius' flat was near enough that he could just stroll over and he should be there by the time he arrived. This was particularly excellent.

He'd timed it well, as the time clicked over to eight as he headed up the Grindylow building, locating Aloysius' door and knocking firmly.

( A few cups of coffee and hangover potions later, Remus felt it was time to get going before they wasted the whole day away. )

SO! In an attempts to keep things organized and easiest for everyone, I figured it'd be easiest to set this post up ala the Order Meeting, and just have everyone chime in with what they did, any crazy fun interactions that might've happened from that, and so on. Feel free to plot things in the comments! This is just so that everyone knows what happened, so that those who stayed sober or who have a talent for remembering things even when drunk can bring things up later.

Just for clarifications sake, the party was at Old Suffolk Punch on the muggle side of London (v. much safer + no curfew!) last night at nine, probably going into the early hours of this morning. The whole big group sort of laid claim to a couple of tables and a booth in one of the back corners and shoved things together so that everyone would be sitting by one-another.

The pub also had this interesting newfangled contraption called a karaoke machine. It's this strange muggle thing that just came out recently, and for some strange reason intoxicated muggles seem drawn to its power, forced to embarrass themselves through song! While of course they only have muggle songs available to sing, it could be entertaining :D

The clock had never moved so slowly for Severus Snape. He sat in the chair at his desk, his entire body stiff with something between anger and dread. He had figured that the Dark Lord was an accomplished Legilimens when he'd learned about the magic, but he hadn't realised how accomplished, or how frequently he was likely to invade the mind of his followers. Yet, there was no other answer for it that Severus could tell. The only way the Dark Lord could know about Agnes, and about his meeting with Pettigrew, was through Legilimency. Well, it wasn't the only way - someone could have noticed the meeting and have told - but the likelihood of that occurring, particularly when Severus was typically on his guard watching whom was around when he was meeting with people, seemed somewhat smaller. Legilimency was obvious, and it infuriated Severus that he had allowed it to happen. Somehow all of his practise keeping his mind clear and calm had been utterly fruitless, which meant that he needed to actually have someone test him. He needed someone to practise with, to teach him, because this could not happen.

Death Eater Meeting

Tonight, the Dark Lord will summon his follows via the Dark Mark (and Rodolphus can drag along Marius and Fenrir can know about it ahead of time) so that they can discuss things. Oh, and so he can violate their minds and find out if they have traitors in their midst.

How this is going to work is that EVERY DEATH EATER needs to comment here with

A) Any issues they'd like to bring to the table, in proper grovelling terms
B) What the Dark Lord will see if he performs legilimency on their minds. He is specifically going to be going after anything he senses they are 'holding back' on, but will do a general sweep of the last couple months

The Dark Lord may respond if he finds something tasty and wants to know more/them to do something/to get jiggy wit it.

Carry on.
