Finnigan's RPG

Activity check on 28th October will end here!

So today I get to celebrate making it another year and getting older.

I haven't really planned anything but if anybody fancies joining me I'll be heading over to Finnegan's after work, aiming to be there around 7ish.

[Warded to Alicia]

You wouldn't want to be my date for Greg's birthday party by any chance? I've missed you. (I spoke to Father, it didn't go well, I'm sorry that I've been so quiet and off lately).

[Warded to Draco]

Friend, are you available anytime soon to chat? There's been a development between my father and I and I could use a friendly ear...

[Public] -- I know some of you ordered things in time for the American holiday Thanksgiving (Mr. Summers, I'm looking at you). If you did - or had scheduled an end-of-November pick up with me - please schedule a time in the coming week to come pick them up at my flat. Christmas orders will be ready on time, please be sure to pick them up from me before December 23rd, on the 24th I'll be sending anything left over to St Mungo's. (They tend to need more around the holidays, everyone trying new toys and spells and so many family get togethers and all - and yes, this is your local potionsmaster's reminder to be safe in the holiday season).

I'll be taking a bit of time off after the 24th, so get your New Year orders in now and depending on your needs I'll have the first round ready by the third week of January.

[Warded to Alicia] -- I miss you like mad, babe, did you know that? I want to rectify this 'me working far too much' thing - how would you and the twins like a getaway after Christmas? I'll have to meet Sera's daughter by then, and we can spend the New Year skiing and then go to the Islands?

+++
[Warded to Draco] -- How are things going? Was the medical shipment helpful in the opening?

+++
[Warded to Michael] -- So you're working for Draco's new shop? Always new I saw talent there. What are your specialties? Do you freelance at all?

+++
[Warded to Susan] -- I still owe you a birthday drink but before you come stomping down my door to find out where I've been (which I have no doubt you can do), I've got some volatile potions going and they're needed by this month or next so I've scarcely been able to leave the flat. Let's make time soon though, yeah?

+++
[Warded to Millicent] -- Cousin, Mother asked that I get in touch (and in general I am sorry it's been so long). Sera's daughter is due next month and after the New Year there will be a small family get together at my parent's Island estate in the Caribbean. You're more than welcome to join us. I know it must seem odd to invite them rather than Cecilia, but I've my marching orders (and maybe Mother is inviting her sister to something else? I stopped trying to figure out her thinking years ago and Mother always was a bit odd). I'll be accompanied by my girlfriend and her children, as well, and hope you can make it over.

+++
[Warded to Tristan] -- Glad to see you got a journal. Does that mean you've been into Finnigan's Pub? I barely remember him as being a Gryffindor back in school, but he tolerates my very expensive taste in whiskey so I'm always glad to see him at the bar. How's Monday night for you? I should have a nice stopping place in my latest work by then.

The shop is still bickering with our potions provider. We don't use heavy duty stuff, but there are certain charms that use different bases and potions to keep a charm stuck on it or imbued in it, so the fact that we're having problems means I'm going to be behind on a couple of big custom orders. Does anyone want to bid for a new short-term trial contract?

Adrian, you still do potions, right?

Or anyone?

I have a couple of weeks of buffer room, unless I can wiggle more out of my customizations.


Also, I'm obviously a... geek, is it? I'm impatiently awaiting my Charms journal. Heh.

Mother thought it would be a good idea for me to post here advertising employment options in order to open the opportunity to my peers and potentially offer further opportunity to re-establish some familiarity with old school acquaintances. Fruitless though I think this may be given the circumstances, should anyone wish to enquire about any possible jobs, please send me an owl or pop into the shop since a slightly ajar door apparently means 'come right in'.
