Finnigan's RPG

Activity check on 28th October will end here!

Just in time for the start of the 2005/-06 Quidditch season and due to popular demand, Sweet Nothings will be adding the team cakes to the menu for the next three weeks, starting this Tuesday. Like last year, the cakes are a generous 1-serving size, however special orders for larger cakes are also welcome.

We're still looking for full- or part-time employees to fill the position Bryn left when he started up Crumbs (We would like to use this opportunity to give him our fullest recommendation and support: If you haven't tried his sandwiches, you've missed out!). Training will be provided and we will do what we can to find the best suitable tasks for you.

[Warded to Cho and Marietta]
So, ladies, we have some birthdays coming up. Same procedure as last year?

[Warded to Viktor]
Are you free tonight?

There are many people here who miss many people who have passed on in the years, I know. And I mourn many of the same people.

But next month is the anniversary of a death very dear to me and my family, and like every year it arrives, I do not know how I should handle it. Especially for Tsvetatanka. I want to have something done for her, and this is the first year we've really been out on our own without surrounding drama since everything happened.

I think I should figure out a routine for this, but right now I suppose I am just overwhelmed with the prospect.

[Warded to Viktor]
Oliver came into the shop today. Apparently he's going to Seamus' party tonight, which is going to be awkward. It's just a heads up, though if you don't want to go, I completely understand.

[Warded to Cho, Marietta, and Roger]
He came in today and there was a girl and I didn't handle it well. At all. This is all wrong! Just WRONG! I shouldn't care, right?

Heavens help me, my sisters are threatening to descend upon me for no reason whatsoever other than they want my company.

This means that one of them wants to take me shopping and the other wants me to show her more Quidditch moves, most likely.

Someone save me from sisters!

The time since the finals has been great. Celebrations and lots of end of season wrap ups.

But now it is back to sketching out a plan for the next year, and training, and possibly interviewing for a few new positions. Ah, the future...

Good game, Tutshill! Good games, everybody, in fact!

Montrose, I am so very proud of your playing! You have done fabulously, as I expected you would.

Everyone have fun with your celebrations (or consolations, depending on your teams). Be safe and have fun.


Go Magpies!

Forgive me for not owling like a proper gentleman, but the owl is currently out running errands.

I was hoping I might ask for the pleasure of your company for dinner sometime in the near future? It would please me greatly to get to know you better. If you have a preference for where you might like to go, do let me know.

Tsveta sends her thanks for those cupcakes you sent the other day. Misha would, but he's covered in dirt and that's where I'm headed next...

I'm not going to apologise for the Bats getting to the play-offs, even if it seems to be offending my favourite barkeep. Cheers to those who got free drinks on that account, and... you're welcome!

[Private to Cho]
You free tonight, babe?

[Private to Viktor, Roger, and Aidan]
In the past week, two teams have offered me positions... on their coaching staff. Thoughts, please!

I do not use this thing often, mostly out of media concerns. But I thought it perhaps an appropriate venue after recent articles.

No, I do not use PepperUp to enhance my play. As most any athelete would tell you, it really does not help much in any regard other than discomfort. I do no like taking it at all, myself, but any parent would tell you that after having ill children for two weeks, you are bound to get ill yourself, especially when one is much too young to take PepperUp himself.

That being said, my children also have no use being in your use, and the next time someone gets in my baby's face with a camera, sick or well, I will not be responsible for the shape of the camera afterward.

Thank you.
