WHO: Gawain Robards & Edward Watkins
WHERE: A convenient Muggle pub.
WHEN: Backdated to last week, the day the news broke on the Unforgivables (after this ominous comment).
WHAT: Talk of murder, mind control and MAYHEM! Gawain and Edward discuss the recently legalised curses (and drink).

*********************************************
( Your hair.  Get it cut. )

As we discussed in chat a while back, it would be far preferable (and lots easier) if we just had one post where everyone could comment with the Christmas presents that their characters are sending to various other characters. That way we don't absolutely flood the friendspages over the next few days with Christmas owls, and it's also a nice handy-dandy reference place.

So! Comment with your character and say who they're giving gifts to and what they're giving. Links are totally not required (unless you want to) and pictures (which are also totally not required and are likewise an "only if you want to" thing) are to be linked to only, to avoid killing people's computers.

Comment at your leisure. :) Comments will be screened until Christmas Eve, so that it's a nice ~surprise~ to see all the gifts! Comments have been unscreened, but feel free to continue posting gifts!

WHO: Gawain Robards & Nora Alderton
WHERE: Outside the Harpies' locker room (oh my), then Gawain's flat.
WHEN: The evening of December 17th.
WHAT: Gawain Robards, MAN OF STEEL, apologises for being Gawain Robards, MAN OF BEING-A-JERK. Also they have a frank discussion concerning his romantic history, which is just as awkward as it sounds.
Rating: Asides from several mentions of physical intimacy, fairly low -- much to their mutual frustration.

Who: Morgan MacDougal & Gawain Robards
When: TEN YEARS before find_horcruxes
Where: I don't know. Some bar?
What: HAHAHAHA. The blind date that would eventually lead to BFF-dom! A year after Gayle committed her atrocity, and not too long after Morgan's finished Mediwizard school AND broken up with Hector Gibbons. This was done a while ago. E held me at gunpoint to post this, though. ;_;

( And all this was a terrible way to start a blind date. )

Rating: L for language.
