Mod availability;
• Sporadic - I steal internet as I can. Current Em schedule:
8-2: Move into new home
8-3 until 8-7: Albequerque, internet!
8-8: internet installed
8-9 until 8-16: working ass the fuck off so when Ashley comes I won't get fired because I haven't exactly been researcher of the year this month
8-16 until 8-23: Ashley comes to visit! But let's face it, we'll both be BLing some of the day.
8-24 until 8-31: Continue working ass off so as to be less useless.
Mod Goals for August;
• Do not set anything else on fire (or get fired)
• Get applications finished and closed
• Plot, plot and more plot
Activity Check; • Will take place between 17 Aug and 23 Aug. • All characters will be required to have 4 weeks worth of entries/logs from the period 6 July - 23 August.
That means 2 pieces (log or journal) for peripheral chars, and 4 pieces (at least 2 logs) for main characters. That seems fair for 6 weeks.
Media;
• If you have volunteered to work on media posts, please write them and comment to the placeholders so I can add them. We need these done asap.
• Please don't volunteer for media spots unless you can complete them on time. It is important that the articles we get up actually go up when they are supposed to.
Summary post should be up in the next few days
thanks to Cate and her busy little helpers :)

Voldemort's 2nd Ultimatum
Rather pleased at the chaos he is creating in the wizarding world, and the peoples' failing trust in the government, Voldemort issues his second ultimatum: publicly reject muggleborns or an entire wizarding town will pay the consequences in the following week.
Aberforth goes on a search Worried about his missing vampire chum, Aberforth decides to leave the comforts of Hogsmeade and go on a camping trip - towards the wild west of the Welsh wilderness. He will spend about a week feeling incredibly useless.

Wizarding World Responds to Ultimatum
Terrified wizarding business and families begin putting up signs in their windows. Though the town of Tinworth is a typically strongly anti-Voldemort locale, there are some homes in which new signs can now be seen: Muggleborns go home. In Hogsmeade and Diagon, vendors begin refusing service once more to muggleborns, for fear of losing their shops. (Ted Tonks, Jo Savage, Grady Bell , volunteers & narratives needed)
Daily Prophet - (volunteer)
Voldemort calls a meeting with Lucius To have a chat with him about what Narcissa will be doing (see below). (narrative?)
• Tuesday [8/05]
Narcissa's Women's Group
In an effort to mold society's fears into something with a nationalistic tilt, Narcissa organises and leads a new women's group (called whatever she wants) to encourage cultural ideals and nationalism "in these troublesome times." The group will be inclusive to anyone with wizarding parentage - even halfbloods - and will focus on family values, children, homemaking, wizarding culture, and activism.
(Persephone, Astra, Chloris, Eva, Corbina, Betty, Gladys, Anzhelina, volunteer, volunteer)
DoM mind division/Moody's eye Rufus puts in a request (through Bartemius Crouch) with the Department of Mysteries, Mind Division, to have research continued on an experimental design commissioned and abandoned decades prior: magical replacement body parts. Dorcas is one of several put on the team.
• Wednesday [8/06]
Elle/Antonin drama-llamas Antonin Dolohov, in an attempt to quell some of his ongoing solipsism-related anxiety, returns to the scene of last month's murders, tripping off Auror-placed crime-scene/non-family wards. Elle Abercrombie goes to investigate and is promptly attacked, kidnapped, messed with, and later dumped off, relatively unharmed.
DMLE searches
With Voldemort's ultimatum hanging over their shoulders, teams of aurors are sent to investigate known wizarding locales for signs of - anything suspicious, really.

Safe Areas
With terrified husbands and fathers sending their families into safehouses with even greater frequency, the safe areas are quickly becoming too full. The ministry is forced to set up another area, further straining their numbers.
Daily Prophet - (Smith)
DE Antidotes
In order to promote obedience over those whom he has terrified, the Dark Lord orders a group of death eaters to go, in disguise, through Tinworth, to secretly cure those few who have put signs up in their windows.

DMLE Partner Ruling
Based on Elle's unfortunate experiences the previous day, an order is put through by Barty Crouch that all aurors and hitwizards are required to have their partner present before entering a dangerous situation; anyone disobeying the order risks suspension.

Order trap
In an attempt to get back their doohicky that Gideon so carelessly died with, the order sets up a trap for Rodolphus, indicating through the dogtags that there will be some hot action goin' down at Moody's place. Unfortunately for the Order, Rodolphus is not in the habit of doing his own dirty work when there are more important matters to attend to, and he contacts Fenrir to have the 'unsuspecting whelps' completely wiped out. What the werewolves don't realise is that it's a trap (!!), and several of them are summarily killed in self-defence.
