feinted

Hey guys! Sorry for vanishing for the past few days. I had my interview with JET (a program for teaching in Japan) so I've spent the past few days preparing, stressing, and driving. I have a ton of work this weekend and since I'm home, my parents will also want to do things, so I will probably continue to be a little scarce BUT I should be able to get to all the tags I owe this morning. Sorry for disappearing with no notice.

Hell, to all you lovely people! My name's Ashley. I know I see quite a few familiar faces, so hopefully I can jump right in here!

This is Darcy. She's a medic intern from Salem, and she's got some anglophile tendencies, so needless to say, she loves being at Hogwarts. She grew up in suburbia New York, with two siblings. Her parents have a common law marriage so sometimes her dad lives with her mom, and sometimes he's up at Salem Prep teaching Potions. Her mother is an interior designers for Muggle and Wizard alike, and spends a lot of the time going into the city for clients.

Darcy herself is a bluntly honest person. She's rubbish at Quidditch, but likes the healing side, especially in regards to the emotional and how physical healing effects the emotions. She likes to kiss boys. She likes putting effort in to what she wears in and out of her school uniform. She doesn't really consider anyone an enemy, but knows that there are some who don't like her for being a little too honest.

She also swears she'd be a Gryffindor and is jealous of the entire house, ha.

A little about me: I work a daytime job of governmental subcontractor hell and so I'm available at night and on the weekends. Um...I'm a creative writing MFA too chicken to defend my novel of a thesis. I also play the organ and screw up at church every week. So, that's me. :D You can find me on AIM at rainydayadvocate or email starry.lites@gmail.com.

ANYway, I'm totally excited to start playing and looking forward to meeting all of you and plotting!

Run it! Please welcome Ashley with Darcy Shannon, Salem medic, and Kay with Leicester Aubrey, 6th year Slytherin!

Hello! I'm Kay and I bring to you Leicester Aubrey, a new Slytherin 6th year! Who happens to be your new resident werewolf. Played by Robert Pattinson. (Okay, so I've never seen Twilight but it's still amusing to me. But doesn't his scruffy hairyness just scream werewolf? >.> Maybe it's just me.)

But anyway, his bio is here, but some important things to know about him:

1. His full moon werewolf excuse is that he has doctor visits, and these happen a few different times during the month, so less suspicious, yeah? While the doctor visits are something that could be figured out with a little investigation, the actual problem he is seeing the doctor for isn't so easy to discover, but explainable by privacy rights, etc. etc.

2. He's not antisocial, but he's not always friendly. He tends to tease/pick on people (this is also how he flirts, ahah). He doesn't do besties of the let's share all our deepest secrets variety, but he certainly has some friends, both girls and boys. He doesn't tend to be selective on the grounds of blood status because there are so many other things that are important. Such as confidence, intelligence, goals, etc.

3. Romantically, he tends to be secretive. He's never been involved with someone at Hogwarts, which makes it easier. He digs both dudes and chicks, which also isn't known. Not because he feels ashamed or anything, he just doesn't think it's anyone's business unless they're the person he's interested in. There is a slim possibility he's head sex with one or two people at Hogwarts, which could be really interesting if you're interested!

4. Loves Quidditch. Doesn't play (except for fun), but is very supportive. Puddlemere United ftw, y/y? For keeping in shape, he jogs and hits the gym (jogging and/or gym partners welcome!).

5. Drinks coffee and smokes cigarettes in copious amounts. Doesn't care if it kills him, but there's also the werewolf thing, so he feels like he's doomed anyway. (Also, other smokers and coffee enthusiasts are welcome to join him. They can share smoking spots or favourite coffees or something like that.)

6. His family owns a home in France that they visit often, so he's pretty much fluent in both English and French and knows a handful of phrases in various other languages as well as Latin. So it's possible he's met some of the Beauxbatons kids before.

...And there are tons of other things, I'm sure, but that's good for now! SO. I would love to find some people he can be friends with, both girls and boys. Umm...I'm sure there are people he doesn't get along with, people he rubs the wrong way, etc. I don't know. Hit me up with anything! My aim is lecoeursebrise and my email is eristicor@hotmail.com. I haven't written in HP in so long, and I'm super excited for this! :D

(As an FYI, the internet in my dorm is sucksville, so sometimes I'm only on during the early morning and afternoon here, which is pretty much midnight to noon for most of the RPG, so if you need to get into contact with me, I've made a contact post, and you can also PM me or email.)

Can't wait to start writing with everyone!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to give you all a heads' up, Aidan's brother, sister-in-law, and their three children made an appearance in Hogsmeade today. Periodically various people would have seen him not only with his class assigned baby, but nearly-six year old twins and one year old baby girl. He was having a grand time, smiling, laughing, and playing with them all as his brother and sister-in-law were having a romantic/grown up time by themselves.

He was hanging out with his teammates/fellow Beauxbâtons students, introducing his nephews and niece to anyone who wanted to approach. If your character didn't, please feel free to have them speculate about who these children were/why Aidan was responsible for them.
