In Darkness - Network

The lights are off, and Tris is seated in front of the computer with his illuminated wand under his chin.

Huuuuuuuuugooooooo....we lost power here .... come help us ....

LilyLu's laughter can be heard off screen before she speaks

He won't buy that, you dunce. How's the computer working without power?

Tristan laughs

You could've seen if he could've worked that out for himself, traitor.

He grins

How're things in the grand jungle?

So ... I guess by now everyone's noticed there's something going on.

What I got from Lily is that a group of people have been moved to a new location, and both directories reflect everyone.

So if everyone could just sign in and say which place you're at, so we have some idea without having to go door to door. Or if ... someone wants to sign in for you. I know the following:

Here:

Jaime Davies
Tyler Simms
Ariana Dumbledore
Remus Lupin
Trini Kwan
Katrina van Tassel
Simon Tam
Tristan Moore
Roland Fisher
Corrine Fisher
Swan Prescott
Lily L Potter
Jake Chambers
Isadora Raleigh
Lucky Washburne
Jayne Cobb
Mercedes King
John Allerdyce
Rock Lee
Dave Stutler
Harry Potter
Salem Saberhagen
Luke Skywalker
Vance Astrovik
Lilly Rush
Reid Garwin

There:
Lily Evans
Ichabod Crane
Chase Collins
Hugo Weasley
Sir Didymus (and Ambrosius)
Severus Snape
Spike Spiegel
Faye Valentine
Magius
Matt Prept
David Banner

So if everyone not on the list could ... let us know where you are.

Thanks

Anyone made a list yet of who's where and what's going on? Can't find Weasley anywhere.

Hey Weasley? Hugo Weasley, if you can read this, please respond. If you're dead, please let us know what the afterlife is like.

No, seriously, is there something going on? I keep seeing things about people missing and still being in the directory? What bullshit is that?

Did we have another rush of people vanish? It seemed less populated in the kitchen than usual this morning.

Truth or dare?

Right, I know there's a cauldron floating around here somewhere. Can I borrow it? Or can I convince one of you potions-sorts to brew something for me?

Guys, check it out.

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine, I got a love that I know is all mine, OH, MY GOD I WILL SELL MY SOUL TO ANYONE WHO CAN TURN THIS SHIT OFF.

Seriously.

We've moved a bunch of mattresses and blankets and shit from the upstairs rooms we could get into.

Far end of the island. Way better than inside the hotel.

All right, you lot. Let's hear your chocolate stories.

I will be giving prizes to:

1. Who has eaten the most chocolate

2. Who has eaten the least chocolate

and

3. Who has done the most creative/strange/gross thing to their chocolate.

I'll start.

Think I've eaten around ten bars by now, honestly. Yesterday I put a bar between two pieces of bread to make a sandwich out of it. It was kind of good, actually.

As of last night, or early this morning, I suppose, we are now hosting a dozen dementors.

If the pattern follows, tomorrow will be the worst of it, and the numbers will likely increase further.

We are strongly encouraging people to stay in groups or pairs, and to look out for each other.

Private to patrollers

I want to have more than pairs out, but I don't want anyone taking on too much or wearing themselves out.

So I suppose we'll keep the schedule as it stands and those willing can volunteer to be thirds and fourths until this is over.

private to Harry

Harry, Lily wants to go back out tonight. I told her I'd ask you. She still looks a little shaky to me, but she's your daughter.

What do you think?

Right, so most everyone should have seen Sev's post by now. We apparently have dementors already. Thought they might give us until Tuesday like last time

I'd like those wizards and witches capable and willing to take patrol shifts to try to keep the dementors out. Right now we only have one, but given how things seem to operate here, I don't imagine it will be long before we have more.

If there's someone here you'd prefer to partner with, then do mention that and we'll try to put together a schedule of sorts.

So, hello.

For those I haven't actually spoken with yet, yes I am ... back. Though I don't recall leaving.

At any rate, if you haven't already seen, or guessed, there was a report from the lottery team and if this lottery is like the last one, there is evidence enough to believe we're about to be invaded by dementors.

I'd like all of the magic users who can cast a patronus, or who can maintain a cast one, to message back if you're willing to help out. For those who can't cast one, please talk to me anyway and we'll see if we can teach you at least the basic shielding bit of it, if we can't create a full corporeal patronus.

Again, we may be preparing for an invasion of nothing at all, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

If anyone has any questions regarding dementors, please seek out one of the Hogwarts wizards or witches. Any of them can at least give you an idea of what to expect if we are invaded.

Uh, hey?

So I don't know why anyone would want to kidnap me, but ... here I am.

Yeah. So I'm Hugo. Weasley. I like long walks on the beach, cheap firewhiskey, and bad jokes.

Right then. Bye.

[muttered]Oh, bloody hell. How do I turn this thing off. Maybe this
