HI THERE. My name is Jenny. I am absolutely a human and not a sentient neural network comprised of tumblr porn bots and smart refrigerators. I am freshly 31 and a professional intern wrangler and technology facilitator for physicians. I like cats, video games, making gifs and Sameer Gadhia's delicious voice, which is like the voice version of hair in a shampoo commercial.

I will be playing senior Ribbonfin meathead, Xavier Lewis. These creaky old bones are 8 years out of practice for online RP, so I appreciate your patience while I remember how to interact with other people. I AM REALLY EXCITED TO GET STARTED. Here are some KEWL FACTS about Xavier:

+ Zav is a mathematical genius. He is...not so great at most other things. But, by golly, if you need some large integers quickly calculated by a human being instead of a calculator, he's your man.
+ He is in the following classes: Hermeticism, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration, Astronomy, Magical Rudiments, Animagus Studies (Pangolin), Independent Study - Arithmancy
+ He is in the following clubs: Quidditch (Reserve); Boating; LARP; Dueling & Fencing; Gaming
+ He is constantly sustaining serious injuries because he is clumsy, distracted and not just danger prone but, like, idk, consciously re-enacting that "Dumb Ways to Die" video from Australia's transit authority.
+ He is originally from Huntington, WV but currently resides in Long Island, NY. He has an Appalachian accent. If you listen to any of the MBMBAM podcasts, Justin is the most likely to swing into it.
+ His mother is the MACUSA representative for WVA and she is A SHARK. Figuratively. His dad is basically a wizard CPA. He has a little sister named Nisha and he is pretty sure he hasn't actually seen her face in 5 years because it is always glued to a phone screen.
+ He is always eating.
+ Personality-wise, Xavier would make a good stand in for Pauly Shore in an 80s teen movie. He is very nice, fun loving, eccentric, a bit of an airhead and easy to manipulate. A little bit of a doormat.

JUST SOME PLOT THOUGHTS:
+ Xavier gets some amount of tutoring in every class but Transmutation (and Animagus Studies), so if anyone is interested in being a tutor...TADA.
+ I mentioned in Xavier's history that he has "found himself in relationships" via having an inability to say no to people and then was immediately completely miserable so it probably fell apart within a week. Suuuper fun, I know. If anyone is interested, let me know.
+ Xavier has been campaigning since September for a "Senior Jorts Day" in the spring, where all the seniors wear the top halves of their uniform as normal but also wear jorts (preferably cut off with the pockets dangling out of course). He keeps calling it "The THIGHlight of the year."

OKAY I HAVE RAMBLED ENOUGH. I'M OUT.

AHHHHH JENNYYYYYYYY ♥

Diego is a senior Azurcrest, who's a ditzy but very warm-hearted musician who just has a knack for making all his problems way worse than they need to be. Impulsive, overemotional, empathetic, intuitive. I'mmmmmm excited about Diego and Xavier being close buddies hopefully maybe? Diego and Zav have a lot in common (airheaded, social, a little quirky, not great judgement). I feel like they'll create a really great ("great") infinite loop of emotional validation and bad ideas.

I'LL COME BACK WITH MY OTHER 4 IN A BIT I JUST WAS EXCITED???

Okay. Now the parade of shame.

Rafael Ramirez (

firstposition) is a senior Coppertale. While he's definitely not on Zav's level, he's also mathematically gifted, but lately he's learning more towards Defence Against the Dark Arts than Hermeticism because he wants to be an Auror. He's a retired ballet dancer after he suffered a career-ending knee injury, but he still dances. He's a strict prefect, and although he's polite and poised, he's got a hard edge to him, plus he's under a lot of stress because his cabin has a ton of fighting in it. Rafael cares about everything way too much and has a poor grasp of his limitations. Zav's troublemaking means he's almost certainly gotten into trouble with Rafael in the past. They both seem super stubborn, but if Zav's mellow then he can probably stop Rafael from escalating shit with his bad temper. AND THEY'RE BOTH MIN-MAXING ASSHOLES IN D&D. Finally someone who plays on Rafael's level.

Calvin Evercreech (

evercreep) is a Ribbonfin sophomore, and a Hogwarts exchange student via Slytherin. Calvin used to be a little snotty Slytherin prince and bully, but he's way less cool in America. Now he has all these soft friends and he's gotten a lot less awful, and is mostly nervous and dorky at this point. He's still prickly and brusque, plus he's pretty whiny and quick to get into fights or become defensive. Buuuuut he's very very smart in an I'm-gaming-the-system-and-I-learn-my-teachers'-patterns-to-ace-every-test kind of way. The whole senior Ribbonfin cabin is very attractive and that makes him Nervous.

Mackenzie Prince (

princeprincess) is a junior Azurcrest, and she's basically if you took a class clown and a mean girl and stuck them in a blender. She likes the femme fatale aesthetic, but she's really kind of a mean, morbid weirdo. She loooooves humor and finds all sorts of things funny, but when she teases people she gets mean fast. She likes everyone a lot, but it amounts to nothing because she's an awful person and even if she adores you she's gonna pick on you. She's probably hit on Xavier in the past, and maybe could be an ex if you're in need? She comes on super strong, but luckily she has very thick skin so she won't take it personally if it fizzled.

Reid Wainwright (

unresponsive) is a junior Coppertale, and might have the least to do with Zav. Reid comes off like an ice prince, but he's actually just... horrifically awkward. His communication skills and emotional intelligence are just so bad. So bad. He loves parkour and Quidditch, though, and is known for getting in trouble climbing shit he shouldn't.

OKAY. Rafael and Xavier NEED to have a low key D&D rivalry where they are constantly trying to one up each other with alternately ridiculously strange niche builds (DM: "Are you seriously coming to my table with a character built around ranged disarm mechanics???") and over-the-top OP characters. Based on how their similarities and differences mesh up, I bet they make each other a little crazy, generally, but Xav definitely admires Rafael's drive.

Xavier loves all Ribbonfins even the ones who used to be bullies. He is probably just kind of like "AWW" at Calvin.

I could totally see Xavier being like *HOMER SIMPSON SCREAM* *HIDES IN NEAREST ROOM* every time he sees Mackenzie coming. Especially if they had like a 4 day "tryst" in the past and by "tryst" I mean Mackenzie jokingly came on to him and he said "Okay I guess???" and then promptly turned into a wooden plank. Zav is probably very intimidated by her. XD

And IDK if Reid and Xavier would interact much although I'm sure Xavier has tried to take advantage of Reid's being spiderman to enact one of his strange plots.

oh god I can't believe it's been like eight years since I've talked to you. i'm crying. but yes hello ♥jenny♥ I'm Marin, I'm a mod and I just drank a glass of wine~~~ And I have four characters:

Ravinder Dhaliwal (

paladins), Ribbonfin senior prefect. Ravi tries to be very Nice and Well-Behaved and Responsible and fusses over all the Ribbonfins like he's their fish dad. He's also secretly goofy and very intensely into LARP and fantasy novels. AND HE'S IN XAVIER'S CABIN!!! AND THEY'RE IN LARP TOGETHER!!! And Zav no what are you doing now, ARE YOU TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED. Ravi probably loves Xavier but also his blood pressure is constantly through the roof from all the times he's had to carry him to the infirmary or worry over whether or not he's keeping up in his classes or if anyone's being mean to him. :CCC Ravi might be... a little overbearing, especially since Zav has trouble telling someone to back off, but he's well-meaning, at least? Ravi does a pretty silly sense of humour if you get him to loosen up. Other things: they were Horned Serpents in the same year! They're both Indian (Ravi is Indian Punjabi, but still)! (Ravi supports all of your hopes and dreams but he does not support Senior Jorts Day. I'm sorry.)

Wilhelmina Tran (

resentfully), Ebonhide senior. Mina is an abrasive drama queen who rules Event Committee with an iron fist; she's more sensitive than she lets on but most people won't ever realize that because Mina doesn't believe in showing weakness. If Diego and Zav are bros, then most likely Mina's never had much of a high opinion of him. Mina and Diego's relationship is starting to get better, but she dislikes people who are messy/disorganized/tacky. On the other hand, she LOVES people she can steamroll into doing whatever she wants. (OK I know I just said she never liked him but... Past dating possibility???) They'll know each other from Animagus Studies and Duelling!

Sylvester Stoker (

stokers), Coppertale junior, Quidditch captain and Chaser. Sy is a hyper-competitive alpha male douchebag who swears and fights a lot and hits on girls obnoxiously, but he can be kind of fun if you're a really tolerant person. I'm not 100% sure how Zav might click with him? I imagine Sy's aggression probably has just made him clam up and he avoids Sy...?

Micah St. Clair (

auteur), Azurcrest sophomore, Quidditch reserve. Micah is an aspiring film director with abysmal taste in movies; he's exciteable, talkative, never seems to take anything seriously, and sometimes has a poor sense of boundaries. He'd be friendly to Xavier because he's friendly to everyone. Micah is ALWAYS DOWN for encouraging stupid ideas (if your life is an episode of Jackass, Micah's your cameraman), and he thinks literally all of the seniors are super cool. XAVIER IS THE COOLEST BECAUSE HE CAN DO MATH AND BACKFLIPS KIND OF. Micah has no taste whatsoever.

~GOOD MORNING~ WHERE DID THE TIME GO???

UHM HELLO DADVINDER DADLIWAL Xavier is here to be your most disappointing son and he loves you very much. Based on the fact that they have so many overlapping clubs and classes and a shared history back to Ilvermorny I am sure they are good friends!! Ravi is exactly the sort of having-it-together person that Zav would look up to. Xavier probably tries to bring Ravi over to the dark side from time to time (the dark side being the side that does questionable things in the names of SCIENCE! and FUN!) although I am sure Ravi is always like "No Xavier slip n' slides should not have ramps, nor should they be indoors." HE CAN BE THE CHAOTIC SORCERER TO RAVI'S LAWFUL PALADIN.

Zav is probably terribly intimidated by Mina and would absolutely be an easy target for being steamrolled. The fact that she probably finds him distasteful makes it worse, so if she ever does seek him out for her own purposes he would fall over himself trying to at least make her not look at him with ANGRY DISGUST EYEBROWS. Mina if you ever need boxes schlepped, Zav is your man. I'm going to go ahead and check her off as a "no" on Senior Jorts Day. ALAS.

Sy is...yeah Zav probably tries to stay off of Sy's radar. Of course, Zav is not above stoking the fires of quidditch rivalry.

ROOFL OMG. If Micah asks Xavier to do something stupid for his movies Zav will absolutely be there with bells on.

HI
AND WELCOME

i am kay and here are my three children:

Zoey Valentine (

valentinez), a ribbonfin senior SO VERY RELEVANT. calm, friendly, frankly super ribbonfinny w some sprinkles of rebellion (she's also starting to go a lil cray! welcome to the downward spiral y'all). she plays chaser for her quidditch team, is in a band w a couple of azurcrests, super super good at potions & starting up a lil business with a friend, kinda brainy/academic, annnnnnd also a wannabe seer (much to the dissatisfaction of her mother). BASICALLY she has all these ideas and dreams and talents that maybe don't mesh super well and it's killing her. most recently she's been falling back into some overworking tendencies & getting quietly disillusioned w things ;-; she tends to get along w pretty much everyone cos she's so chill ? annnnnnnd they're in the same house/year and in a handful of classes together, so!! i think they should be friends!! z would make a good potions tutor and actually just kinda helped organize a new study group including ravi, so!! perhaps xavier could be in it :D

then there's Laurel Templeton,

laaurell -- she's an azurcrest senior, super into drama & theatre & costumes and clothing charms, dancer, nerdy lil bookworm. she's kinda just a silly, straightforward, cheery type who thinks everything is funny and has a hard time taking anything seriously except her sincere interests (but lately she's v concerned re: whatever the fuck is going on in the woods). she also has an identical twin in ribbonfin (ivy!!), which is fun, and also means that she and xavier probably see achother a decent amount along w being in LARP and gaming together + some clases). she's generally pretty easy to get along with too i think, if a bit of a weirdo. her romantic history is kinda all over the place, but i can offer her as a one week thing long agooo if you're interested

last is this journal, Jonathan Wilde, who xavier would know from dueling/fencing. anywayyy wilde is an aloof, pretentious dude w a competitive streak who likes to write ~secret poetry~ and do sick skateboard tricks/risk his life for the daredevil lulz. reserve keeper for the ebonhide team. hides insecurities under a prickly too-cool too-smart exterior, or at least that is his intention. is actually kind of a good friend if he likes you. so many dumb feelings.

HELLO! THANK YOU!

Xavier loves his fellow fins so I am sure he and Z are pals. He can definitely relate to feeling pulled in multiple directions but if he tried to give voice to that it would probably come out not the right way at all so, HE IS ROOTING FOR YOU ON THE SIDELINES, GURL. He would absolutely be involved in study group.

I could see Laurel and Xavier having "dated" for a week as freshmen and then promptly drifted apart. Xavier would probably get along really well with Laurel, otherwise, I'm guessing!

I'm willing to bet that while Wilde and Xavier probably don't interact much outside of club, Xavier can definitely appreciate the need to be a daredevil.

heeeey I'm Roz

So first and foremost, the most active character in this game and 90 percent the only character I play (which is how he got to be so active, I have no life but a massive neglect problem with every character but him; it's a real problem; ironically, he's not at this journal)

Is Christopher Park. He's a senior coppertale. Chris is like the personification of a grumpy cat meme. He was WAY grumpier when this game started but these fucking losers have just ... worn him down with compassion and feelings and they keep calling him nice now, it's a real problem.

He's a beater on the coppertale quidditch team (the coppertale quidditch team has lost every game they've played this year, and they're about to play the only team that's won every game this year, if you care about quidditch, you picked a great time to join), and is in duelling and fencing and larp and gaming and also four of Xavier's classes. So the thing about chris is that he's super prickly, but he's literally all bark and no bite, except for the people he don't like ~~And also the people he does like that like to be bitten~~.

So I think he and Xavier should have this weird friendship, where Chris just lured them into a friendship one day in like freshman year, with tacos, and then too much time passed and it would be weird to stop being friends because they're already here so they're just friends now. Chris also does tutor, so he could help Zav with history of magic, potions and Herm.

I also felt like that comment was getting way too long so i decided to make a second one for the rest of my characters lmao (I forgot to add that in larp. Chris's entire character is Healer Mufferaw. He emulates their school healer to the point that he lectures anybody who gets "injured". It's great)

So AT this journal is Solomon Webb. He's a sophomore Ebonhide. He's on the quidditch team as a chaser. He and xavier probably won't have a lot of overlap because of age and year, but Solomon does enjoy interacting with people, and he's a walking encyclopedia of useless shit, so he probably finds Xavier fascinating. He's also in literally every activity Xavier is, I'm pretty sure. I signed him up for nearly literally every group. I don't play this kid enough, it's depressing.

Then I have Olivia Sanchez, who's a junior coppertale. She's in a few of the same activities as Xavier, and she's also a prefect, so they might have more overlap. Olivia was raised in a family reliant on boxing. So she's pretty badass, but really as a prefect, she just wants to help people be their best self, so she's not like a super enforceful prefect. She likes to award points to people when they tell a clever joke tbh that's her highlight here.

And LAST I have Matteo Diaz, who is actually a ribbonfin and who I probably should've started with. He's a junior. He's also in some groups that Xavier is, I think. Matteo is a little weird. He's - okay like I just realized yesterday that Matteo is basically Professor Trelawney. A lot of the shit he says doesn't make sense; it's a lot of hippie bullshit. But he's super loving, and he embraces people for exactly who they are or who they want to be, even if they're actually assholes. So he probably loves Xavier. So they're not in the same year, but they could be bros. Teo could be bros with a park bench if I'm being completely honest. He could have quite a lovely conversation about whether matter is destroyed in the process of reincarnation or not with that park bench.

So that's what I have. And I'm open to literally anything. The weirder the better.

	I'm sure Solomon, Olivia and Xavier have some basic interactions. He is very much a kill-you-with-kindness kinda person so he would get along with both of them. Matteo may bring out some slack jawed awe in Zav, who probably totally does not understand anything the kid says, but that's okay you do you my dude live long and prosper. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	ROFL This is why you shouldn't leave food out. You attract teenagers. I kind of love that idea. Xav is a fairly chill person so as long as Chris doesn't push any of his highly specific buttons I imagine they would continue to get along. (Reply to this) (Parent)

HEY HEY! My name's JJ and I ALSO love cats, video games and making gifs so I think we will get along famously. I have a super quick rundown of my characters here, but most relevant to your interests are probably Ivy and Reece.

Ivy's also a senior Ribbonfin! She's also super academic and studies a lot so she'd make a good tutor (maybe for hermeticism? It's one of her strong subjects). She's also in some clubs with him (boating, dueling & fencing, gaming). She's pretty laid back and kind of a people pleaser at heart so she gets along with most people unless they're like, actively unpleasant towards her. She can be a little bit of a busybody but she's generally good people.

Reece (

thingamabobbs) is a junior Azurcrest, and he's also a layabout genius. His mom's also the chief of staff for the New York MACUSA rep, so he knows most of the MACUSA families from social events and being around. He's also kind of hyper-cautious and is always trying to prevent people from hurting themselves doing dumb shit (full time job at this school), so any antics might give him a headache.

Clementine

neattrick is a junior Ebonhide, super competitive about Quidditch, and regularly bugs the other players, so she might get up in his business but they don't have much overlap besides that, and Ariadne

deimons is a sophomore Ebonhide and probably has, like, a vague concept of who he is? She hates this school so much, man. She wants to go home.

Xavier would absolutely appreciate Ivy's help with academia and probably enjoys her company so long as she doesn't pry too much. He tends to stonewall when people ask him about his parents, his future, etc.

I'm sure he causes Reece plenty of headaches. XD Also, some of the MACUSA-affiliated kids may be aware of the rumor that Xavier is not at GB because he's a smarty pants but rather because he's an embarrassment to his family and this was as far out of the way as they could get him.

HIIIII ♥

Ok first of all I literally just brought up Sameer the other day because in my head he's pretty much this loser character's singing voice so?????? I clearly also am in love with his voice I just want to listen to him all day wtf. I am literally listening to Young the Giant right now. So.

Now actual real person: I'm Rin! I'm a software developer! I too like cats and video games! And that gif is one of my favorite gifs of all time! :D

I haaave 3 peeps. This dude being the most relevant.

He's YOUR ROOMMATE, Asher Guthrie (

guthriegazette)! He's really into journalism (he publishes a newsletter by himself because he's a nerd), and is from NYC! He's a nice dude who is also not the best at sharing his feelings (their cabin is doomed) but likes to give advice and be helpful! He will happily try to help steer Zav (both in terms of his focus and literally as he clumsily moves around) when he needs it. And also will encourage him to do whatever he wants after school (Muggle shit legit ok?). Asher is good at school and will be happy to tutor in what they have in common (History of Magic, hermeticism, astronomy I think is it besides transfig and animagus). Also Asher loves karaoke. So that's a thing that happens occasionally. Generally he's kind of a goober but likes to be helpful.

My other two are pretty much irrelevant to you mostly but whatever here they are.

Jaime Castillo (

lupofiasco) is a Azurcrest Junior who is pretending like he knows how to be responsible when really he is just stopping himself from doing anything fun until he finally bursts and then does a lot of bad idea things. They have LARP together buttttt that's pretty much it. He's a nice kid though?

Hazel Keating (

lilwitchhazel) is a Coppertale Sophomore who literally has no overlap with Zav AT ALL. She's just a weirdo who is obsessed with sports and has a rat. She'd be supportive of Senior Jorts Day at least.

OKAY SO THE SONG SILVERTONGUE OFF THEIR NEW ALBUM. IS THAT SONG LIKE ... JUST TERRIBLY DIRTY AND SEXUAL OR AM I COMPLETELY MISINTERPRETING IT?? I CAN'T TELL. BUT HE IS PERFECT AND I LOVE YTG.

HECK YEAH FOR ROOMMATES. I am pretty stoked about coming in to a full cabin. Xavier can be weird about people talking to him about his future but he definitely appreciates Asher's support. Zav would totally participate in Ribbonfin karaoke or impromptu Ribbonfin dance parties. He would probably be great for Asher's goofy side but not so much when things get serious. ALSO, he would be SUPER SUPPORTIVE of the newsletter and may guest contribute articles forecasting like quidditch results using Arithmancy.

As for your other two, Zav is very friendly and has a reputation for being an oddball. He is probably passingly kind to both.

Yeah!! Welcome to the well-behaved cabin lolol. I'm so glad they'll have Zav to help mix things up a bit. But yes yes good, karaoke, dance parties, all the good stuff. Asher won't push the serious stuff most of the time but may occasionally be like: SO let's talk about impending real life. And any boosts to dorky Asher are greatly appreciated.

HELLO! WELCOME! WARNING: It's late and I was just had to drive for so long, so if this makes me sound dumb, let's factor that in a little please. THANK YOU. ANYWAY Hi! I'm Lyss and I have three here.

THIS ONE is Adeline Foster-Hayes, she's an Azurcrest Junior from Richmond VA . Her parents are each from really fancy families; her mom on the magic side, her dad on the muggle side, but Addy is the opposite of fancy. She loves Potions, parties, not listening to rules, adopting people who are probably perfectly capable of taking care of themselves, neon wardrobes, and textspeak on journals. She's very friendly and warm but she will totally yell at people if they need it. She will inevitably like Xavier a lot and talk at him even if it's annoying and not be sorry.

Then I have

challenge, and that's Leonardo Fiori. He's a senior, and the Ebonhide Quidditch captain. He's from Jersey City. Leo's a competitive asshole, and obsessively dedicated to Proving Himself in everything he touches, with the ultimate goal of being an Auror. When he's not trying to compete or achieve something, though, he can be a good coach and level-headed influence, and even manages Social and Charming sometimes. He has several classes, including Animagus studies with Xavier! He can turn into an alligator snapping turtle and has been able to do so since last month. It's useless but whatever. Leo doesn't generally bother with troublemakers unless they're on his Quidditch team, but if he figured out Xavier was smarter than he seemed, he would encourage this quietly and be generally respectful anyway. Maybe he is/was a tutor either now or in the past with something? Along with stuff Xavier's very good at, they overlap in History and Potions?

My third is Ferdinand Ayers over at

ferdies. He's the Junior Ribbonfin Prefect so yay same house. HIS mom was at some point years ago a reporter who basically Rita Skeeter'ed MACUSA with no-maj bugs instead of Animagus bugs. But then they found her out, and it was a whole thing, and now they live in Chicago and she's obsessed with her son being hated by MACUSA kids at his fancy new school. Ferdinand doesn't care about those warnings at all, and engages in the most lawful acts of rebellion in the whole world. Anyway.He's a very logical prefect, and if he spoke any louder, he'd be such a smartass. He will definitely have taken points from Xavier in the past I am sure, and he's not super outgoing, but he'll be friendly just as a Ribbonfin~

Xavier and Addie will totally get along. :] If Leo has tutored Zav in Potions in the past, that could give them cause to be more familiar with each other! Zav is pretty outgoing and chill and his troublemaking tends to be more self-destructive (with frequent inadvertent surrounding fallout), so they would probably get along, generally?

Xavier is a MACUSA kid that has specifically been targeted by the press in the past because his mother used to drag him around and show him off for being "gifted" but then he kept struggling in school and acting out and became an embarrassment. This was generally at the local level and not huge news, so I'm betting Ferdinand's mom was way more interested in high level stuff, but Zav may still be a bit wary of him.

(the difficulty i had in typing her name should have told me that i should not be doing this now! lol! no chance! ok! carrying on!) she's an azurcrest in his year, in some of his classes, also quid reserve (SAD.) she's an academic overachiever who studies HARDCORE and WAY TOO MUCH, but also spends way too much time obsessing over athletics and partying. :| basically she has no off switch? idk. she's a serious prefect (parties excepted, they are sacred) and has a very sarcastic sense of humour that may be misinterpreted as being mean. :( but she isn't always mean, i promise. :( idek. this isn't helping. she's at goose on an ~academic scholarship~ so if he needed a tutor in hermeticism or astronomy she'd be there! (don't ask her to tutor you in potions, xavier, it's a b.a.d.i.d.e.a. -- also the name of my new hip hop group.)

also kurt wolfhart (

lovekurts), who is a ribbonfin junior! he's very sweet and non-confrontational, a shy dude with a stutter. he loves the outdoors(!) and animals(!!!!!) and just wants everybody to have a good time, ok? this year he's trying to be New Kurt and break out of that timid shell. his dad works at the MACUSA headquarters in NYC and he spends some time there as a result. i can see him liking xavier a lot and wondering "how does he do it???" but also "can i do it, but without hurting myself so much???" he's also a drama geek.

and finally, casey patterson! (

sunsoutgunsout), coppertale junior! he is a BRO. he gets all his confidence from feeling In Control and doesn't feel bad if he has to belittle someone to get there. if he doesn't feel threatened he's a social (if not terribly smart) guy who dances CONSTANTLY and flirts with anything that might move. WHILE HE WOULD NOT NORMALLY HAVE MUCH TO DO WITH XAVIER... his nerd passion is a d&d campaign through gaming! current party is here! he loves to GM because of the challenges players present him, and if xavier wants in, he's in. :{ rafael's already in it and also a min-maxer so i'm sure their adventures are JUST SO GREAT, ALL THE TIME. (casey is also on the road to being woke as fuck thanks to his v patient tutor, cricket.)

HELLO Oh my goodness there are so many posts in this game wow.

Xavier is probably just sort of 8O at Quinn and her ability to do all the things and keep going. He finds it a bit intimidating. I'm sure she has had to dole out some PREFECT JUSTICE to him in the past. I would love to have her tutor him in Hermeticism!

Considering both Kurt and Xavier have a history of being dragged to MACUSA events they don't want to attend, it is possible they have bonded from time to time when stuck at those sorts of things? Xavier would happily listen to Kurt talks about bugs and horses and stuff.

AND YES XAVIER WANTS TO BE IN YOUR GAME CASEY. HE WANTS TO LAUGH MANIACALLY WHILE DROPPING 28d6 FROM A FOOT OFF THE TABLE FOR A SINGLE SPELL. Oh yes the delicious sound of scattering plastic cubes.

yes, hello, so many posts.

hurray! tutoring it is! and don't worry xavier, the end result is probably a lot of stress, dealing with it in unhealthy ways, and crashing and burning. yay. :3

yes, that sounds rad! kurt's also close to xavier's senior fin tabitha for the same reason, so there's probably been a fair amount of chances for them to hang out on breaks due to Stupid Stuffy Events.

AWESOMEEEEEEE he takes that as a CHALLENGE!

HELLO HELLO, my name is Alex aaaand holy hell I also have five characters lololol ok let's do this

Nathaniel Bird (

flyover) - is a senior Ebonhide prefect. Country boy who spends all his time in the library. Is smart and quiet and serious and does not know how to chill out, and sometimes he tutors people because he does not realize that he is seriously over committing his time. You are welcome to add to his building nervous breakdown by being one of the people he tutors, IT'LL BE FUN.

Riley Stamper (

rageahol) - is a junior Azurcrest cheerleader, aka immature party girl and also mean girl and also all around dipshit diva. She's obsessed with butts and has no boundaries. People shouldn't talk to her, she's awful.

Rosemary Stoker (

rosmarinus) - is a junior Ribbonfin prefect, and has probably tried to stop him from FINDING NEW DUMB WAYS TO DIE because she is a helicopter mom friend. She's also a sarcastic grumpass with a temper. It's a mystery to most people why the hell she is even in this sweet squishy house.

Robin Youngblood (

hanshotfirst) - is a senior Coppertale and he's from West Virginia!!! and he is..........ridiculous. Like. So ridiculous. He's a conspiracy theorist who grew up on a survivalist compound in the woods and his catchphrase has become DON'T TREAD ON ME. Don't worry, he has other catchphrases if you don't like that one (how do you feel about it's arm day, motherfucker?). Just...react to him like you would most people who start spouting nonsense at you. He's crazy, it's cool.

AND FINALLY Jefferson Key (THIS ONE) - is a sophomore Azurcrest Quidditch Chaser, and he's loud and excitable and just thinks seniors are so super cool. Like. So super cool. And he loves bad ideas. Do you have a bad idea? Jeffy is down for it. Or for watching it, IT JUST SEEMS SO COOL.

OK LOOK THAT IS ALL OF THEM WELCOME TO THE GAME & ALSO OUT OF ONLINE RP RETIREMENT, THIS IS EXCITING ♥

Um okay first of all Robin and Xavier may need to bond over pepperoni rolls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepperoni_roll WVA delicacy. Literally just a dense dinner roll with a half an inch of pepperoni in it. Xavier doesn't really believe the conspiracy theories but he will politely listen!

Xavier could totally do with some tutoring from Nathaniel. They are sort of opposites since Zav is more of a floaty "if it feels good, do it" kinda person so they may either balance each other out or drive each other crazy?

Zav is probably completely oblivious to Riley's being a mean girl.

Aaaand Xavier is ALWAYS LOOKING TO CORRUPT THE YOUTH INTO BAD IDEAS. WELCOME TO THE FOLD JEFFY.

JORTS DAY JORTS DAY JORTS DAY xavier and i would get along like a house on fire honestly

YEAH, so, hello hello, welcome to this game. i'm cameron and i'm turning the new player baton over to you. also, fun fact, i'm a professional intern, so probably the kind of person who you wrangle on the semi-reg.

i only have one wee childe and it's ulysses quayle. he's an ebonhide junior and there's not tooooo much overlap, although both are in boating club and also ulysses is on the ebonhide quid team, so they might see each other out on the field. they probably do know each other, though, because ulysses's dad (and therefore big sis cricket's (

cricketq) dad) is a MACUSA rep from tennessee and kind of a big deal. the hot gossip is that there might be a presidental bid in his future, so xavier's SHARKMOM may be aware of the quayle fam.

anyway, ulysses is a dumb baby who always trying to ~find himself~ and pretend he's cool and tough by doing ill-advised things and getting into shouting matches. he's a brat with Feelings, which is the worst kind, imo. luckily, he's pretty smart and sometimes entertaining and also look at that face! cute as a button. xavier and ulysses may or may not get along, lol.

	Oh man. Xavier's mom probably sees Ulysses and Cricket's dad as a POLITICAL RIVAL. Xavier himself would just kind of be like "HUH. Parents are goofy." about that, though. Xavier is big into ill advised things, so maybe they can do something ridiculous in boating club some time. XD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Hi Jenny, welcome to the game! And welcome back to RPing!! I'm Josie and I have four characters here:

This journal is Pippa Nightingale, a Ribbonfin sophomore and Hogwarts exchange student new to Gooseberry this September. She's a vegan and a pacifist and is on a so-far-unsuccessful mission to get herself a CUTE AMERICAN BOYFRIEND. This basically involves giggling and blushing around boys.

Henrietta Gray (

unregrettable) is a senior and the Azurcrest Quidditch captain and Seeker. She likes parties, flirting and having fun, but can be pretty blunt. She's also into sports and the outdoors. She's in Boating with Zav! And will support his campaign for Senior Jorts Day 100%.

Coralee Wong (

firecoral) is a Coppertale junior, and kind of a bitch although she tries to hide it under fake sweetness and passive aggression. BASICALLY she's a troll who loves stirring up trouble for the lulz, and Xavier should steer clear wherever possible.

And lastly, I have Irene Lovelace (

interlacing), an Ebonhide senior who practically lives in the library. She's outwardly quite reserved, but tends to open up a bit more in LARP. And she's also in Dueling & Fencing with Xavier, so there might be some interaction there too. :)

Hello and thank you! Omg I am sorry it's taking me so long to reply to everyone in this thread. Sob. XD

Pippa is adorable and Xavier will respond to any giggling and blushing with an awkward smile.

Xavier is very pleased to hear that Etta is on Team Jorts. He is not a heavy partier but will follow the crowd. They probably get along pretty well!

Xavier has probably learned to steer clear of Coralee at this point but I imagine he was a pretty easy target for manipulation in the past.

And lastly, Xavier is pretty big into (the number crunchy side of) LARP, so I'm sure he and Irene will have plenty of stuff to talk about!

	Hey Jenny! Im Callie! I'm in my phone and therefore can't really reply, but I didn't want you to go unwelcome for too long. I'll reply with my horde (I also have 5) later tonight, but welcome to the game!!! A++++++ PB choice btw XD (Reply to this)
