HI ERRBODY! I'm MK, and this is Wayne. He's only standoffish at first, and he's pretty excitable. Like a corgi.

Anyway, I know I'm in HST, which is six hours behind Eastern and 3 hours behind Pacific, so that's like, the opposite of waking hours for a lot of people, but I don't have a job yet (just moved here) and I DO have the internet which means I'm going to try to be online during normal people hours.

I'm also polishing my Parvati application if anyone wants to plot about her, or Wayne.

And if anyone finds themselves in Hawaii, please for serious let me know, because I'm bored to tears.

YAY STUFF

Since I work nights in EST, you'll be on with me at least some of the time! Never fear!

I'd love to plot sometime. Looking at Wayne's app, he would have overlapped in time with Rolf a bit, who was also Hufflepuff.

Pandora was above him and in Slytherin, so I don't know that he'd know her.

Open to random on both counts (maybe more comments later as I'm on my phone currently...)

Also, hi, I'm Jasmine, feel free to ping or email anytime :)

	Hi! Good to meet you :D Wayne's up for meeting and hanging out with pretty much anyone, once he realizes he won't have to hide anywhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Awesome :D It might be interesting for him and Pandora to hang out sometime, since she is a former death eater (extenuating save her family circumstances), and then have him find out. (Reply to this) (Parent)

MK! HI! Omg I'm so excited about Wayne again. Soo... I was thinking. He and Lucy have pretty similar backgrounds. She wasn't quite from a council estate but probably only one step up from that, they both lived largely in the muggle world before Hogwarts, both athletic, both studied hard but weren't great students. So basically I'm thinking they should have been great friends, yes? Wayne can call her Spinks, she can call him Hopkins. They need to reunite as soon as possible!

Seamus probably won't remember Wayne that much. He made his close ties with Hufflepuff mostly during 7th Year and Wayne hasn't been around. But I think he'd like him if he got to know him. They're also both into football / quidditch.

Dominic thinks he's cute ;-) but probably won't remember him either. Dominic's organising a casual quidditch match here that could use an extra person in any position and I'll shuffle things around to fit.

Goyle might vaguely remember Wayne from school, as one of those annoying Hufflepuffs. No love there, I'm afraid.

Bryony Capper (aka Orla reincarnated and aged up a bit... were you still in TLS for Orla? I don't remember) probably has no idea who he is yet but random encounters are good.

EEEE THAT SOUNDS FANTASTIC!

Wayne also enjoys films with explosions, if Seamus would be into that. He's seen Independence Day like a zillion times. And he'd TOTALLY be into casual quidditch too. Yeah, go ahead and sign him up for that.

And I can't wait to play with Lucy again-for-the-first-time! :D Their situations are still pretty similar, and while he isn't looking for a relationship right now, he could really use a good friend or two.

Hi MK!

I'm Kat, and maybe this time we get to be online at the same time. I'm 12 hours ahead of you, so... maybe :)

Anyway, I have 4 charries here. In alphabetical order:

Alicia - Gryffindor, 2 years older than Wayne, and left Hogwarts the same year he apparently did. This Alicia is a single mum too, and I think (if I'm reading Wayne's profile correctly - Rhys was born in 1996, right?) that her twins (Liam and Isla) are 2 years younger than Wayne's son (they're from December 1998). Anyway, Ali's a widow and almost obsessive when it comes to Healing - she's Healer for Pride of Portree and the co-founder of the Daniel Fawley Foundation, so she will help with anything if it could make people feel better/get back on their feet.

Finbar Quigley (

_finbar_) - my newest character (he only *just* got introduced). Ravenclaw '90, Beater for Ballycastle Bats, all round nice guy with a big ego. Recently moved to London to get away from his ex-wife.

Melinda Bobbin (

_melinda_) - Ravenclaw, 1 year older than Wayne, owns and runs the Sweet Nothings, the pâtisserie in Monument Alley. Melinda is sweet. Very sweet. And she makes sweets and cakes and dessert (not macarons, mind you9, but she's always smiling and happy to see customers or meet new people.

and finally:

Rose Zeller (

_rose_) - Hufflepuff, 4 years younger than Wayne. Rose is a Cursebreaker, doing her last year as a Trainee with the team based in Gringott's London branch. She loves people, she just doesn't trust them a whole lot, so while she'll happily chatter away with just about anyone, unless she knows you you won't be any the wiser about what is going on in her life or the past she has :)

Looking forward to seeing Wayne in game :D

OMG MK HAI!! *TACKLEHUGS* *coughs* This is Caroline. No idea if the 11 hour time difference works in our favour or not but we'll see.

I have two at the moment.

Charlie Weasley is now returned from Romania (as of about 7 months ago) minus just over half of his right leg, plus a snazzy fake one. He owns and operates Wingbeat, the club on Monument Alley which has been open about 2 months now. He's friendly, swears a lot and won't know Wayne. He might have work for him, but it'd be Thursday - Sunday, late hours, so probably wouldn't fit. See also the zero tollerance drug policy at the club.

And Dean Thomas (

artistdean) is, as the username implies, an artist. He also works at Finnigan's because a. he could do with the extra money and b. he and Seamus are a bit codependent. He also probably wouldn't know Wayne but might be the one serving him the odd drink. He has PTSD, in fact if you remember my previous Dean he's remarkably similar but several years down the line.

Wayne wouldn't bring drugs to the club, I promise. Bad business practice, shitting where one eats. Wayne working for Charlie would be fun, I think, but like you said, Tuesday-Sunday wouldn't work so well, unless it'd pay enough for him to quit McDs and he could guarantee one weekend a month off.

I feel like Dean and Wayne could be third-wheeling together, with Justin and Seamus, and that'd be kind of hilarious. :D What do you think?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

hopalongcharlie
2014-09-26 11:47 am UTC (link)

Gah, yeah. Charlie pays well, but maybe not well enough to compete with decently towards full time at McDs. Although I just realised there'd also be deliveries shift on Wednesday, if he could do that and either Thursday or Sunday (depending on what the schedule with Rhys is) Charlie might be able to get him a free weekend a month and I'd love played staff members.

Dean's official thoughts on Justin and Seamus is that he's pleased they have whatever it is but he feels a bit off about it. Not much, and not enough to say anything, just his smile feels a bit fake sometimes. He's also possibly sort-of dating his colleague, just about. He's oblivious to the fact he's in love with Seamus basically. So yes, third wheel-like things would be hilarious.

Hi! I'm Natasha and I've got three characters!

The first is this one, Bryn Cadwallader. He says a massive "Croeso!" To Wayne, as he is also of a Welsh persuasion. In fact, he still lives in Caerphilly. He was a year older that Wayne at Hogwarts, but also a Hufflepuff, so I'd say there's a good chance of him remembering Wayne. He'so a jack of all trades and current work at Finnigan's and Sweet Nothings.

The there's Emma Dobbs (

emmazing), also a Hufflepuff, but a few years younger. She probably doesn't remember Wayne, but she's very friendly and excitable.

Lastly, I have Lavender Brown (

angustifolia) who was in Wayne's year at school, but I don't know if she'd remember him too well. These days she works as a Hit Wizard. And she's very excited to get a Parvati, so it you want to plot the girls, all my contact details are on the contact page on the mod journal.

	waynecymraeg 2014-09-26 01:27 am UTC (link)
	I think Wayne would definitely have been friends with Bryn, with Welsh solidarity and all. Fucking saesneg, amirite? :D Wayne is from Merthyr and lives in London now but he supports the Catapults too. They seem to be similar spirits - sort of all-around useful but not specifically anything? What does he do at Finnigans? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

nowinaminute
2014-09-27 11:27 am UTC (link)

Great. :D Bryn will be glad to have someone to agree with him about the terrible season that the Catapults seem to be having. And then it comes to international Quidditch, all Bryn cares about is that they beat the English.

Yeah, that sounds about right. One day Bryn is going to figure out what it is he wants to do, but he's not there yet. At Finnigan's he's a bartender. And occasionally performs at open mic night.

MK!!!! Good to see you again, it's Jinx :)

This here is Marcus Flint, whom you might recognize, though he spent four years in Azkaban this time around and plays for the Appleby Arrows. Not sure if he and Wayne would have had any interaction, but we can always grow them together and see what happena.

My girl though, Stacey Rivers (

pinkyink) was a Hufflepuff of the '99 class, and she's a friendly, social able sort who loves talking to people, so they might have known each other. Stacey owns a tattoo parlor in Monument Alley, bounces around like a puppy on seven shots of espresso, and also lives in Muggle London, sharing a flat with Zacharias Smith. She's also big into pub quiz night, so she might try and recruit him for a team there.

I'm excited to see you again! I'm still EST so we'll see how the time difference goes, but I'm sure we can make it work. XD

	Wayne would get along really well with Stacey, I think, especially since he is a little...off-colour, so to speak, and might have a couple tattoos himself. And he's not looking for anything romantic or sexual, which means no pressure to have that "you're really cool but I'm not in the ugly-bumping business" conversation. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Hello MK, I'm Mercy! I have two here, Orla Quirke (this journal) and Zacharias Smith (over at

unspeakableness).

Orla's a Muggle-born four years behind him in Ravenclaw so I don't expect that they had much interaction in school. She's a beater for the Montrose Magpies (previously Appleby Arrows), intense on the pitch but friendly off. She's available for random run-ins and plottings with Wayne and Parvati.

Zacharias is a Hufflepuff a year below Wayne, so their paths could have easily crossed in the common room. He's not necessarily unfriendly so much as wary of people. He's an Unspeakable and a member of the Experimental Charms Committee. He, too, is available for random run-ins and plottings with Wayne and Parvati.

Welcome to the game!

	waynecymraeg 2014-09-26 01:41 am UTC (link)
	Wayne will definitely remember Zacharias, but if he's standoffish, Wayne might not think he likes him. Wayne usually exchanges information as a show of good faith in order to test someone to see if he can trust them, and Zacharias doesn't seem the type to do that. BUT, they could still interact and it'd be fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

2014-09-26 01:46 am UTC (link)

Zacharias doesn't trust easily and quickly, so it might not really be Wayne/personal outside of the bit where it kind of is personal lol It just takes time, and he always or almost always assumes people have ulterior motives because of the past. Part of him kind of wants to trust and try and to have friends and everything, but he finds it hard, and his way of trying probably isn't as conventional or may not be seen that way. He's still not sure how he has the like two or so friends he has now lol And when he tries and gets pushed away/rejected, it just makes him close up a bit more. So, yeah, friending him can be a longer process than normal people, and I fully get if Wayne's like "nvm fuck him I'm going over here with the biscuits" lmao

Hi MK! I'm Jess, and I think we've played together before at some point or another! I have 5 (!!!) characters here:

Ben Stebbins: He was in Cedric's year, and tends bar at Finnigans. He's a musician and has had a lot of jobs over the years. He's super friendly and likes hugs.

Pansy Parkinson: She's still a bitch, but she's managed to tame that somewhat. She's in advertising/publicity/etc. and has her hands in a lot of pies. She's still bitter over the break-up with Draco, but that's more out of habit these days than anything else.

Lisa Turpin: Muggleborn Ravenclaw who just moved back to the Wizarding world with her 7 year old son, and opened a bookshop in Monument alley.

Terry Boot: Quidditch star Ravenclaw, he's friendly enough but out super outgoing.

Harry Potter: Auror extraordinaire! He'd be friendly.

Hey! Nice to see another Hufflepuff about! I've got 4 peeps to play with:

Ernie: Shared a dorm with Wayne for a few years, so I'm sure they know each other a bit ;) Ernie's a healer now and forever loyal to his fellow housemates.

Percy: Fellow single father! Would totally be up for comiserating on parenthood if you're ever up for it.

Gemma: Probably no connection (she's older and Slytherin), but am always up for plottage!

Vikesh: Ravenclaw quidditch player so again not much connection yet, but also always up for plottage with!
