And Like the Phoenix I Emerge from the Ashes
I suppose I should start with apologies for my long, LONG absence. It wasn't an intentional one so much as a combination of life getting away from me a bit and feeling rather aimless as to what my purpose in game was but thanks to the awesome Alison I'm here to dust things off and give it another go.

This time around I reluctantly leave behind Morag and Edwin both felt flat and I honestly had/have no idea where I wanted to take them. I do return with Spencer and Mei both of whom felt a bit more real the last time I made this attempt and both of whom have a bit more interaction to give both myself and the rest of you. :)

So, to reintroduce my remaining two (who should be joined by one or two new characters...and perhaps a different old one before too long):

Firstly is Mei Chang

Mei is still working her butt off as a sous chef and taking cooking classes in her spare time because she's decided she wants to be a real chef. During my absence Mei has continued to be her usually doggedly cheerful self while working a bit too hard and not playing nearly enough. She's also been dealing with growing family tension as her older sister Cho has become increasingly close to her Muggle boyfriend and their family does not approve.

And then there's Spencer Quick

Anyone who's seen Spencer in the last six months has basically seen the blissed-out honeymoon version of him. He's rebuilding things with Yue and couldn't be happier. Don't be surprised if he zones out when he's talking to you, he just has different things on his mind these days. He should be coming back into the world a bit by now and will be taking more of an interest in things that aren't Yue.

Please, give me things. Lots of things.

YAY WELCOME BACK! *glomps*

I'm so sad to see Morag and Edwin go. :( But yay for Mei and Spencer!

Now plots, plots...

There's a small tabloidish gossip, as Rita Skeeter is spreading the "news" that there's something going on between Leon Beery and "scarlet woman" Natasha Erickson.

The Lovegoods went on an expedition to Sweden in search of Crumple-Horned Snorkacks and took Sage and Dean with them. They didn't find it, but it was still an instructive journey and everybody had a really good time.

Declan and Su are having a baby.

Also, we've been planning a plot revolving around an attempt to kill the Minister of Magic, which hasn't taken off yet because RL decided to attack everybody involved. This can be something Mei and Spencer can end up having an active role on, or at least a strong reaction to, since among many things Leah will be one of the injured. As soon as everybody is ready, we'll put the wheels in motion on this.

Oh, and also! I'm planning to add Gregory Goyle to this game, so keep your eyes open. I'm curious to see how Mei and Spencer will react to him...

They felt aimless and I'd rather focus my attention on characters who have something to do and say and reasons to interact with people. :) I think that Matt (my first newbie) will have a bit more interaction than Ed and Mo did.

Looks like there will be good things in the works. Mei and Spencer will both be worried about anything that might happen to Leah.

Ooh, looking forward to him, then!

Yeah, I figured they would both get upset over Leah. Spencer might also get highly busy over the incident because the WWN is bound to get involved.

I think he'll be fun. Do I need to send him to you before I intro him and things?

Spencer will resent a little if he gets taken away from music too often. He says he's not a reporter for fuck's sake. :P

You can just link him to me in the holds page when you're ready. I have the utmost confidence in you. :)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay *does Kermit dance*

I am going to go ahead and apologise for my auto correct in advance. Since it's ooc I'm not going to go back and correct. Hope it all makes sense!

Okay, I'll start with Mei:
Evan - cuts a pretty pathetic figure. He hasn't really done anything whilst you were gone. I'd like them to be friends - can your think of a goods reason for them top n't spending time together?
Jade - is lonely and desperate. She is glad Mei still talks to her, since Leah doesn't. She is going ti do something awful soon idk if you want to be on the know our to figure it out ooc as well as ic!
Romilda - her clowning stuff is going well and she's reasonably upbeat. She'll be friendly.
Lucy - is doing a lot if fundraising events atm - do your want for Mei to be involved in catering our anything like that?
Alex - recently got busted for drug dealing and is pretty angry.
Mel - doesn't have much going on, plot wise. Her career is going well blah blah.
Wayne - also not much plot wise. I duped him for a while and night him back, trying ti get back in the groove. Any ideas?
Dean - is excited he just found out he is getting some sketches published in a magazine. He's been working as a waiter so we can say he was working at Mei's restaurant before he quit to go traipsing after Luna? Also, does this Mei still like football?
Barney - is a pro quidditch payer and confused by media attention.
Lee - is a pro Quidditch commentator and hasn't done much since I picked him up.
Luke - has upset his bff s Leon and Natasha and is thinking of Career change because the Ministry is boring.
Glenys - is new and you can read her intro a few days ago. she will like Mei well enough.
Yakov - I want to be working as a waiter where Mei works so they can become friendly. He is obsessed with food and volunteers to test all her cooking ;-)
Valentina - works as an interpreter. She's pretty shy so unlikely to talk to Mei.

Mei

I don't need to be on my phone to make cool typos so I'm definitely fine with interesting autocorrects (my favorite ever was when mine changed maybe to Maru once).

Mei has been working on making Evan see people as people since they were still at Hogwarts I don't see that changing. And she's probably continued bringing him along to dinners when Cho brings her Muggle boyfriend so as to distract her scary mother from giving the poor Muggle the third degree. So don't be surprised if her mother starts thinking that he and Mei are dating. Something that Mei will very quickly nip in the bud but might cause some fun misunderstanding.

Keep me in the dark so I don't accidentally foreshadow something I shouldn't. :P If not knowing gets too much I'll bug you for an answer. :D

I can see Mei helping out with catering on the side. Someone really needs to make this one work a little less. :D

Mei still loves football and has started playing again. Or did until she got so busy that she hasn't had time to do anything but work lately.

I fully approve of Yakov and the waitering and food tasting.

Haha awesome. Evan is like, "Oh, Mrs Chang, I wish."

Cool, then Lucy will hit her up for some catering.

Awesome, well then I say she and Dean should be friendly and have played football together.

That was to be continued, not to be confirmed. Anyway! Spencer.

Evan - is kind of making progress on the homophobia. But not totally. So he is still fun to wind up.
Jade - hates how happy he is. Yeah she's bitter.
Romilda - loves Spencer! Buddies.
Lucy - likes Spencer and will be nice, but I don't know about any actual plot. Maybe he could dj at one of her fundraising events?
Alex - will be his usual asshole self but without weed.
Mel - likes him well enough but I can't think of any plot.
Wayne - yay Puffs! Maybe they could be friendly? Wayne is into music.
Barney - likes having more happy people around.
Lee - also a big music fan and would probably be a dj if he wasn't commentating quidditch.
Luke - probably too shy to know him.
Glenys will though! And she'll think he's adorable.
Yakov - probably won't know him.
Valentina

Spencer will probably continue to be pretty obnoxious about things around Evan. Unlike Yue he has trouble getting past what happened when they were in school.

Spencer adores Romilda. He hasn't forgotten her support when he was forced out at school.

He would be happy to help Lucy out. Like Yue he might not trust her entirely but he will give her the benefit of the doubt in public at least.

I can see Spencer being friendly with Wayne.

Spencer also took over Lee's job as a Quidditch announcer after Lee left Hogwarts. And I think that I'd had it at Purg that Spencer used to follow Lee around like a puppy before that.

That's all cool. Haha, Lee is happy to have a fan. Friends now?
