run the button please!

As noted, Rebekah has dropped Louis and Clover, and both Gina with Molly Weasley and Nic with Leo Tatting have left the game.

Here at the beginning of the Great Journal Fiasco of 2023 and again at the end (aka Tuesday night), please make sure to note in your entries when your wards have failed so we know at what time they were posted. This way your fellow players know what you're intending to torture your characters with and what should remain outside the parameters of this plot.

Along those same lines, we want to make a small distinction. It is the journal network which has malfunctioned, not the individual journals. Spells designed to work within the journal network (wards and "wave wand for"s, and in our specific case striking things out after they have been written) will not work. Spells performed on individual journals as objects or as paper/books will still work. So your characters can Accio their journals and they will be able to perform translation spells (if they know them) on words that appear in front of them. Make sense? Let us know if not!

The first sex ed session is next week! It's the introduction, which everyone will attend together, but we wanted to make sure you're all aware that it's coming up. If for any reason your character's parents would not have signed the permission forms that went home, please note that here.

Hey guys! A couple of things. First, it's that time again. Lauren adds Annabelle Hopkins and Sarah brings Maggie Wood. Unfortunately, we lost Sara with Jonquil Rosier, Lily Potter, Anais Beausoleil, and Jack Cardew

This also means there's an empty spot on the Hogwarts quidditch team. We're still discussing what to do but we'll keep you posted.

Secondly, it's time for the second multicultural relations project. This time, it's a cooking project. Everyone will be divided into groups of five and given a country. They then have to decide on a food from that country to cook. While the teachers will be a resource, they are encouraged to talk to someone from their given country for ideas. The groups will be assigned tomorrow and they have until next Tuesday to submit their recipe proposal. They will have to cook their foods by next Thursday. All meals will be judged by the Headmasters and the winning groups will get a prize. Groups are judged on taste as well as difficulty to discourage picking foods that are too easy.

Any questions? Feel free to ask!

Hey all!

So here's a simple rundown of what you can expect plotwise during the month of October (we know, we're a few days late). We decided this announcement set-up might be useful for everyone--and for future reference, if you didn't already know where to go, the upcoming events calendar can be found here.
