In Game (blue = character chosen; pink = volunteer needed) • Friday [8/01] Belby's bday • Saturday [8/02] TBA • Sunday [8/03] 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. Daily Prophet - Evening Edition (Betty) Quibbler - (volunteer)   Alastor returns to work   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. • Monday [8/04] 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, Mary, 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. (Alice & volunteer) • Thursday [8/07] 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. (narratives or NPC RP - Regulus, Aeneas, volunteer, volunteer, volunteer, volunteer)   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. • Friday [8/08] 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. (Elle & Kate)   Aloysius's birthday • Saturday [8/09] 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.   Order (Moody, Frank, Meaghan, Dorcas, Caradoc, Damocles, Alice ) Werewolves (Aaron, Tabitha, NPC volunteers)   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. (narratives or NPC RP - Severus, volunteer, volunteer, volunteer, volunteer, volunteer) • Sunday [8/10] Scheming Lucius is scheming After a chat with an 'old friend' from the ministry, he 'lets it slip' that he's heard word from the Averies. Cue vague references to Australia and lots of misleading information. The DMLE is further spread thin, forced to investigate the false information. • Monday [8/11] 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. (volunteer & volunteer)   Aberforth runs into some informants Still on the search for Rhisiart, Aberforth starts nearing the Welsh border, where he runs into stray vampires. There isn't much they can (or, perhaps, will) tell him, but he gets a vague idea of where he should be heading. It doesn't take long before he trips off some of Fenrir's poorly cast proximity alarms. • Tuesday [8/12] TBA • Wednesday [8/13] Poison begins to set in on the occupants of Tinworth. Only those who made the effort to denounce Muggleborns are free from the effects - though no one knows why. A wave of 'repentence' goes through the town, particularly among mothers and wives, who desperately wish to save their children's and husbands' lives. Many who survive will flock to the women's meeting on Saturday. Letters to the ministry/Prophet - Sabrina, volunteers/npc volunteers • Thursday [8/14] Hogsmeade, Diagon, Ottery St Catchpole, and other wizarding locales are rocked with loud and often violent protests regarding just about everything - anti-muggleborn, anti-ministry, anti-Voldemort. The protests often devolve into fistfights and street violence; the DMLE is forced to move in forces to quell the violence and enforce the curfew. narratives - Meaghan, Jacqueline, volunteers/npc volunteers   People in Tinworth begin to die; St Mungos doctors baffled. Daily Prophet & Quibbler - Smith, volunteers narratives - Raisa, Hestia, volunteers/npc volunteers • Friday [8/15] Protests pick right back up where they started when the morning begins. DMLE forces barely able to keep the peace   Aberforth vs the Vampires Sent by Fenrir, a group of army-loyal vampires intercept Aberforth as he makes his way to the Welsh border. Fun and games ensue. Vampires - Clara, Dorian, volunteers   Voldemort's announcement As if the DMLE didn't have it bad enough, Lord Voldemort makes an announcement through the Daily Prophet to the citizens; he will save any family who publicly denounces muggleborns, whether through journal or public action. Riots follow and six muggleborns are lynched before the DMLE can force everyone back into their homes. • Saturday [8/16] Curfew patrol attacked by werewolves on the full To drive home the point that the ministry is as impotent as it is ugly - but mostly to avenge last week's trap by the order - Fenrir leads some of his werewolves to attack curfew patrols. Werewolves - Fenrir, Aaron, Tabitha , volunteers Patrol - Frank, Gumby, volunteers   First women's meeting, headed by Narcissa Malfoy (11a) Participants - Julianne, Corbina, Betty, volunteers • Sunday [8/17] Sev/Voldy Voldemort calls Severus to him for an update on his information retrieving (re: Agnes and Peter). He does not find the results entirely satisfactory and puts more pressure on Severus to get results and get them soon.   DMLE recruiting In a desperate attempt to handle the surge in public violence, the DMLE holds a special recruiting drive. The effort is two-fold: Non-DMLE ministry will be drafted and paired with aurors/hitwizards in an attempt to spread the numbers available over the requisite area Non-ministry civilians will be recruited, tested, and trained briefly to provide further 'filler' in the front lines. Narratives, RPs, etc: Pepper, Lily, Gawain, Alana, volunteers • Monday [8/18] Wizengamot convenes The Wizengamot considers whether MoM Trimble is really doing the job the public need him to be doing. They put forth a proposal to Minister Trimble that he consider his course of actions and run them by the Wizengamot.

No apparent leader is in sight. Media post - Carlotta, Xeno, Adam (friday), volunteers • Friday [8/22] Auror/"Death Eater" fight Imperiused death eaters stage a midnight attack upon Hogsmeade stores that have not posted anti-muggleborn signs.
