| REPLY TO SKELLY'S POSTS OR THE HILLS WILL BE ALIVE WITH THE SOUND OF MUZAK. |
[25 Sep 2008|05:31pm] |
Okay okay okay, so Skelly's posts are really important and you have to reply to them or the world will probably end, but that aside, I thought it might be helpful for everybody to catch up if we went "hi, my name is Albert, and I play Grindelwald, and for the past two weeks he has been knitting fetching bodices." Only with who we really are, who we really play, and what those characters have actually been doing. (But really, aren't we all Albert, at heart?) This will help us get back into the swing of things instead of wondering what to post as, due to nobody posting, we have NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON.
I will start.
I am Caitlyn.
![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) twelfthson (Benjy Fenwick) has spent the past two weeks smoking and drinking too much and spending half his time at the Prophet office or doing Prophet related things, and half of it having intense discussions with his friends about the world coming to an end. He has been gripped by an intense feeling of helplessness because while he knows a lot of people with good intentions, he does not know anyone with a realistic plan for fixing this. (Barring Sirius's plans to blow up the Ministry, and Jack's plans that are probably there and probably involve concepts Benjy cannot understand. Who knows.) He has slept very, very little. He has had a lot of arguments with his superiors at the Prophet because they are already being encouraged to Write What They Are Told. Not in such a way that sets off serious alarm bells for most people; more along the lines of 'this is a very unstable time for the Ministry; please don't get people unnecessarily hurt by jeopardizing our position even more.' However, as Benjy is a Crazy Liberal Media Man, he foams at the mouth when so instructed, and his job is slightly precarious right now, not that he's admitting it.
hopped (Lindy Hoppenforth) has been spending most of his time wishing his friends would stop being so upset, and probably being really, really, really, really, really, really, really stressed out. He has been chainsmoking at an astonishing rate, and drinking lots of tea. He spends a lot of time looking helplessly at Jack wishing he could make things better. He still does not understand why Bellatrix is So Bad.
saidsid (Sid Demedici) is slowly admitting that Bellatrix might be something awful, having spent the past few weeks asking people why they're so upset over her election. She's been spending a lot of her time around Jack & Lindy's flat, discussing things with people. She's had a couple of arguments with her oldest brother lately, who has been getting on her case about Jack. (She has not mentioned this to anyone.) Her closer brother and her have been having secret discussions about the advisability of leaving the country, but at this point, they are not serious discussions.
bonedbones (Edgar Bones) has spent the past two weeks discreetly getting important people hired to the Ministry. Assuming Jack has not refused Edgar's offer, he is one of them. He has spent an astounding amount of time at the Ministry, working on various things, and, yes, occasionally discreetly destroying half-done projects of his he thinks it would be unfortunate for the present administration to get its hands on. He has noticed a higher degree of monitoring in the Department of Mysteries, and is not happy about it. He has only really been seeing people at work, and Rose. He is perpetually tired.
rodoofus (Rodolphus Lestrange) has been basking in the glory of the situation, having lots of sex with Bellatrix, and looking good in public. :)
Now GO.

hey all! BASICALLY it's gonna go like this:
CHARACTERS: (this would be your character.)
STORYLINES YOU WANT TO SEE: (this would be ideas you want to bring into the community.)
OTHER CHARACTERS YOU WANT TO INTERACT WITH: (this would be character storylines you want.)
for example I will start:
CHARACTER: evelyn baker (pushhimdown)
STORYLINES I WANNA SEE: more intra-ministry types of things! little memos, little conversations over rushed cups of coffee. you know. office crap.
OTHER CHARACTERS I WANNA INTERACT WITH:
::ALICE PREWETT, because she's a fellow auror! chats can be had.
:: JAMES POTTER, because he's an auror trainee and I like to imagine that he gets paired with Evie a lot for bigger projects. MAYBE?
:: EDGAR BONES, because he is HILARIOUS and I'd love to see him trying to explain some concept to Evie and it just going RIGHT OVER HER HEAD.
:: BELLATRIX LESTRANGE, because with her now being able to use the aurors for her personal whims, it would be fun to see the Minister giving some stupid order.
CHARACTER: sirius black (sosirius)
STORYLINES I WANNA SEE: definitely more setting within gringotts (sirius is training to be a curse-breaker). introductions to the ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, and because there's so much heaviness going on, I wouldn't mind a few light and funny scenes :D
OTHER CHARACTERS I WANNA INTERACT WITH:
:: MARAUDERS, because duh. Lily, too.
:: NARCISSA MALFOY, because I think it would be interesting to see them chat about the events going on in the world.
:: ANYONE ELSE, because for real sirius can talk to anybody.
and here are some UPCOMING PLOT POINTS that will be further discussed and then acted upon for the good guys:
:: over the course of a week, Dumbledore WILL be sending owls to potential order members, asking them for over for tea, asking how their families are, forming a secret society to get rid of evil.. you know the drill.
followed by:
:: the FIRST OFFICIAL ORDER OF THE PHOENIX MEETING!!! fanfare!!
:: Aurors discreetly place Millicent Bagnold's family under protective custody, as per order of Dumbledore.
:: Ministry workers have to deal with crazy things happening in London.
and there'll be some more. LET'S GET PLOTTING!

hey all (again!)! BASICALLY it's gonna go like this:
CHARACTERS: (this would be your character.)
STORYLINES YOU WANT TO SEE: (this would be ideas you want to bring into the community.)
OTHER CHARACTERS YOU WANT TO INTERACT WITH: (this would be character storylines you want.)
and again, i'll start.
CHARACTER: augustus rookwood (lefreux)
STORYLINES I WANNA SEE: unspeakable interaction, death-eaters-within-the-ministry, death-eaters-in-general!
OTHER CHARACTERS I WANNA INTERACT WITH:
:: BELLATRIX and RODOLPHUS LESTRANGE, because, while augustus hates them upper class types, he'd more than happily engage in conversation with either the minister or the..first..man. whatever.
:: ALICE PREWETT, because I can very easily see augustus becoming creepily obsessed with stalking her just to freak her out.
:: STUDENTS AT HOGWARTS, because I imagine sometime in the future Bellatrix is going to make people to to Hogwarts and talk about their jobs and try to hook kids into joining the ARMY.
and here are some UPCOMING PLOT POINTS that will be further discussed and then executed as far as the bad guys go:
:: soon enough, Bellatrix will cut funding to a few different departments in the Ministry, being games&sports, ALL muggle-related departments, and IDK what ever else.
:: Bellatrix's ministry will ALSO start funding propaganda in the form of pamphlets about topics such as HOW INFERI ARE BAD FOR YOU and WHY THE MUGGLE AGENDA IS EVIL
:: Aurors and Hit Wizards receive more funding so as to recruit more people. Rumour has it that Mrs. Lestrange is forming an Army.
:: Mrs. Lestrange also has appointed entirely new Department Heads, all are pureblooded and within her close circle of friends.
:: VERY SOON, a curfew will be enforced on the whole country, and quite voluntarily as it begins. We'll see where this takes us.
aaaand there will OF COURSE be more. NOW LET'S GET PLOTTING!
