! introduction, player: ali

HI, NEW FRIENDS! I'm Ali and my CDJ is aeris and has a big ol' about me page there so I'll spare you. I noticed a lot of you guys are on tumblr so I'll go ahead and link mine here.

I have Levi Kramer here, a senior Azurcrest and a Chaser on the Quid team. He was previously in Thunderbird at Ilvermorny, where he also played Chaser, and came to Gooseberry on a sports scholarship his sophomore year.

bio: the tl;dr edition

From a Wizarding island that's part of California's channel islands, wayyy off the coast of Los Angeles area. That makes him really suited for outdoor activities, especially swimming and hiking, but he also can't stand Utah's heat because he's used to consistent year-round temperatures of 70-50 degrees. His clothes usually have cooling charms on them because he's a baby.
His mom's a magizoologist and his dad's a musician and he's very much interested in both. He just wants to pet animals and play on the dumb instruments he brought with him. He's taking Magizoology and his advanced class is in Music. He also plays the keyboard/piano as well as providing backup vocals in Diego Morales's band.
In addition to Quid, his extracurriculars also include LARP and Drama Club. (Detailed a bit more in his additional facts section in his bio.) He's interested in starting an informal Quodpot team because QUODPOT RULES, but he's worried that might interfere with his Quidditch performance if he sustains any injuries from exploding Quods. That miiiight not stop him from doing the thing anyway, though.

wanted lines

PEOPLE FROM ILVERMORNY, C'MERE. They might've known each other at their old school and he was known as a show-off Chaser for Thunderbird which is why he (maybe unfairly) got the scholarship in the first place. There were other Chasers more talented at scoring goals, but he was a crowd favorite because he pulled stunts to try to make the games more entertaining to watch. To him, it's not really about winning as much as making sure everyone has a good time. Fairly, he's great at his role or else he wouldn't have been considered for a scholarship, but he's no Quidditch prodigy. Quidditch is a mix of sport and entertainment, in his opinion, and nobody would get so invested in a team if they were boring to watch.
LARP friends! Let's make storylines for our characters' characters. Levi currently plays a halfling bard named Mister Periwinkle, even though he's 6'3.
Tutors? Smart friends? He needs to maintain his grades in order to keep his scholarship and he needs someone to have helped him stay on track through the years. This could have even carried over from Ilvermorny, if they attended. Good on these now! Thank you!! ♥
PARTY PALS!!! People in any house he throws down with.
Rivals? Friendly rivals? People who will engage in banter with him either for the fun of it or because they're easy for him to bait?
A former fling. (Seniors and juniors only, please! He wouldn't have gone for a tiny baby Freshman last year, sorry!) He's had more flings, but they're gonna be handwaved as NPCs. They could've ended on good or bad terms or maybe it just fizzled out to an anti-climatic ending, it doesn't matter~ UNF, filled~
Who helped him with his shitty tattoo and these self-made piercings is what I wanna know.
FRIENDS, ENEMIES, ALL THE LINES, PLEASE.

OKAY YAY BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET ENOUGH OF BILIUS EITHER HE WAS AMAZING

but yes, everything sounds amazing. Chris is amazing at casual and it's not because he's a shameless flirt. It's entirely because he hates people lol. And I was actually gonna bring up Chris hitting him with a bludger, probably in the middle of a crowd pleasing trick because that's the kind of crowd pleaser he is. But yes. this is all perfect. Chris would be confused as shit if Levi had started sending finger-waggles at him, and it would have been hilarious and probably knocked him off his game at first.

But yeah, this all could've started junior year, and Chris is bold and blunt and doesn't care too much for games or indecision, so he would've bitten Levi's bait pretty quickly because he dgaf pretty much the same.

srsly tho, Mufasa not so low key, probably loves Levi more than Chris.

And also srsly, I would love for Chris to help Levi with history of magic only for the face Chris likely makes every time he actually reads an essay from Levi.

I love everything you just said. And I love you.

I just imagine Chris nearly knocking Levi off his broom and definitely breaking his nose and Levi's just like !!!! "WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A GREAT SWING!!!" 😍😍😍 and then the crowd roars with cheers and Levi is 👌👌👌 because great show, great show

Could Levi possibly, occasionally borrow Mufasa? Just so attached to this cat, he asks to babysit him for the night. Then if Chris seems comfortable, Levi just stops asking and leaves notes like "Mufasa wanted to play Wii." "Mufasa is helping me write my essay." "Me and Mufasa are going to chill in the gardens."

and lmao, Levi just LIVING for Chris's expression and reads his essays out loud to him in a dramatic film trailer tone. "IN A WORLD... Where unrest between Goblins and Wizardkind had reached its peak... One Goblin defied all odds..."

I am so obnoxiously excited about this relationship lol

I love him already. But seriously, my thing - usually with Jordan - has always been that perfect relationships have perfectly imperfect beginnings, and this, my friend, sounds like a perfectly imperfect beginning. And he also, likely continues to disrupt Levi's continuous shows every time their houses play against each other, because at this point - it probably amuses him to no end. But like ... low key amuses.

But yeah, at this point, Levi can probably kidnap Chris's cat whenever the mood strikes him. Though, it probably took a good few months after they first had sex for them to reach that point lol. Chris was probably like 'we can put things in orifices but I'm not leaving you alone with my cat, are you crazy, you could give him the wrong idea of how attentive his owner ought to be and I don't have the energy to live up to that standard.'

Chris will make no commentary beyond continuous groans at every plot point of Levi's essays and some random 'oh, I can see this part was clearly Mufasa's addition. Clever' but secretly he'll be amused by the fanfiction essays.

God, me too. And I love imperfect and messy and I just want to ~SET THEM FREE~ and see what shit they get into. Levi's probably caught on to his game by now, but also turns it into a game of mid-air dodgeball where he just feels Chris's eyes on him-- because he's looking for the look-- and anticipates it. And zips obnoxious circles around him to show off, because it's not about winning, it's about having fun.

faklsdjf and Chris wanders into the common area and finds that Levi wasn't lying about Mufasa and the Wii, and he has this giant cat lazily perched on him as he's flinging a Wiimote around.

He probably wrote letters to both Chris and Mufasa over the summer break and 100% expected Chris to write a letter back on Mufasa's behalf.

OKAY OKAY BUT

I'm completely serious, Chris 100 percent did write a letter back on Mufasa's behalf, and he sounded a lot like a very put upon british butler who dearly misses his true owner. There was actually probably a lot of prose and metaphors and it probably sounded uncharacteristically poetic. Like have you watched those Cat diary videos? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKffm2uI4dk This is gonna be the letter from Mufasa, just waxing poetic about his hard life of starving to death because his food dish is only half full.

Chris also wrote back as himself, and intends to not mention Mufasa's letter to Levi at all. Ever.

Chris's look when Levi zips obnoxious circles around him on the qudditch pitch tho. Their games are gonna be glorious shit shows, because Chris has half the mind to ignore the actual game in his attempt to hit Levi.

	I'M DYING, I'M DEAD, GOODBYE, THIS IS PERFECT. Nothing's more pure than the bond between Levi and Mufasa. Can't wait for these shitshows. AT LEAST THEY'LL BE ENTERTAINING TO WATCH? And if Chris is comfortable being out, then that makes it 1000x more entertaining if people know about their fling and are watching them jovially trying to kill each other mid-air.

CHRIS JUST RESPECTS THIS WEIRD RELATIONSHIP LEVI HAS WITH HIS CAT OKAY and he can have a sense of humor if he really puts his mind to it lol He probably sent Levi a picture of his cat, like how normal people mail pictures of their kids and what not.

BUT even better is that chris has made no attempt to hide his sexuality or any fling with anyone he's had, so the school can totally know about their fling and now their continued attempt to kill each other mid air. It's probably stressful for their teams but ... I mean, it IS a good show. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED.

Oh, also levi's in diego's band thing so for plot relevance - Chris and Diego have this weird relationship where diego initially thought chris hated him because of his resting bitch face so he tried super hard to fix that, which makes Chris actually hate him, when he originally had no problem with him. Diego cornered Chris into a three hour conversation on the bus to school, Chris contemplated throwing himself from the bus, since Levi's in their year, he likely witnessed it, probably found it hilarious and that's what you missed in the last two days. Chris passed the time by inventing new, outrageous facts about himself; he trusts Levi will confirm these facts, no questions asked.

Oh, God, thank you, I was a bit intimidated by the intro IC/OOC and I've been twiddling my thumbs and putting off replying. Can I butt into your lil thread with Levi? He was picked up in LA, which was in the last region to be picked up before Utah, so he missed most of their conversation but he definitely would've agreed with any stupid fact Chris gave about himself and pitched in with an elaboration in agreement to some of those facts.

	Yes, go forth, butt in. Levi's elaboration will no doubt be more creative than Chris's, but despite how ridiculous I'm sure that'll be, Chris can nod his head with a straight face to whatever the fuck comes out of Levi's mouth. I'm sure he's had a lot of practice lol (Reply to this) (Parent)
