lightning_war post recap: 27 July-8 August 2008
Game date and time: Monday afternoon and evening, 14 September 1942:
Announcements:
* If you have friended this community but have not joined it, you are not a member.
* We really suck at keeping this community updated here on IJ. Despite the fact that the game is here on IJ, most of us still spend most of our time on LiveJournal. If you have a LiveJournal, you should probably join the community there--the non-recap posts, polls, musical theatre crack and fic links are all on the LJ comm. (I'll try to be better about x-posting, but I can't enforce that on everyone.)
Completed/Continuing Open Threads:
Julie Peverell and Davy Longbottom talk to the first through third-year Hogwarts students about the drills and past crises, and are asked questions for which they were not quite prepared. (Closed and complete.)
Tom Riddle's loneliness is eased by schadenfreude, but his attempt to flirt with Arianwen Rosier goes totally sour. (Closed and complete.)
Funny notes in the upperclassmens' toilets. (Probably complete, not yet closed.)
The St Mungo's diagnostic team gathers to discuss Bilius Lovegood with his guardian, Isaac Diggory. (Probably complete, not yet closed.)
Jameson Wilkes and Isaac Diggory discuss Bilius Lovegood's chances of survival. (Closed and complete.)
Galina Lyubova has lots on her mind, and Verity Umbridge is not really helping with that. (Closed and complete.)
Alastor Moody is alarmed at having realised he nearly walked into a trap and is slightly chagrined to admit that Lucius is a better leader than he is. Lucius, however, is feeling the weight of responsibility rather heavily at the moment. (Closed and complete.)
New Posts:
Rainer Pfeifenberger has a better birthday than he feared he might. (Closed and complete.)
Alastor Moody misses his boyfriend, Dylan Mulciber, and sends him an erotic love letter. (EXPLICIT.)
Alessio Zabini wakes up after his treatment to find Yvon Malfoy lying next to him. Rosalind Clutterbuck discharges Alessio so they can go have some alone time.
Stephen Yang is annoyed about it, too; he has a lot of questions about Alessio's strange readings and Vikram Patil's research.
Jezebel Walsingham has some advice for her niece, Dolores Umbridge.
Mary Agnes Brocklehurst is worried about her ability to live up to the trust that's been placed in her as a prefect during these difficult times.
Yvon Malfoy has a very important question for Alessio Zabini, and he chooses to ask it in Nico's old flat. (EXPLICIT.)
Marlie Watkins and Edmund Diggory are all out of patience at the nasty rumour-mongering of Dolores Umbridge and her friends.
Nikola Tesla is absolutely appalled when he realises what the Axis has done with his lightning research, possibly even more than he is at having been kidnapped.
Ever the optimist, Jael Moody takes comfort in the fact that Tesla has recovered his will to live, even if this isn't exactly what she meant when she hoped she could get him to disappear into the wizarding world.
Endymion Dashwood is in terrible pain but he still answers his post, replying to his baby brother Jonathan, his fiancé Hadrian Kyteler, and Ianthe Pritchard.
Isaac Diggory advises his wife to bring Bilius' mother to Mungos' as soon as possible and informs his son Edmund of the situation.
Isaac Diggory has a talk with Bilius about the situation they're all in.
Surya Patil is worried about her brother Viresh (who hasn't been seen in days) and the possible fate of her young cousins, Rajinder and Anjali, if Hogwarts is closed.
Myrtle Dolloway now knows the ugly truth of what happened to her, and is not looking forward to the day when her roommates do, too.
Halász Sharolt is a little worried about the way Fujiwara Kenjiro cheerfully steals from futures he's trying to prevent, and is trying to make sense of the things she has seen in those futures herself.
Maria Dashwood has found an item she knows her brother Endymion wants, but isn't sure if she should give it to him freely or demand a favour. After all, it's powerful and dangerous.
Honoria Delgardie reassures Priscilla that there won't be any trouble getting her the papers on Marcus Weasley's children.
Poppaea Malfoy Rosier thinks Gloriana Black should definitely burn her son Yvon right off the tapestry.
Dracaena Malfoy really wishes her family were all safe at home--or that she could still go out to fight alongside them.
Corinne Allison goes out for a 'friendly, professional, platonic' dinner with former patient Eliot Gardiner. Which is interrupted by a lightning rain. And Viresh Patil's weird boyfriend. Who is he, and why does he think he knows how the lightning rains work?
Alessio Zabini and Yvon Malfoy are very rudely awakened indeed.
Even in an underground shelter during a raid, Gareth Rosier's always on the pull.
Paul Pettigrew thinks things are back on track now that the miscreants responsible for the Hogsmeade fire and the death of Pippa Brown have been punished and drills have been instituted.
Ryan Pettigrew is impressed by the punishments and worried about Bilius Lovegood.
Everett Meriwether would welcome a visit from Chris Howe while he's in hospital.
Frank Abbott's off to do an aerial survey of the trouble in Londinium.
Endymion Dashwood is hurting, terrified and sorely missing Hadrian, despite the best efforts of Andromeda Tzitzinia to heal him and Nicodemo Zabini to comfort him.
David Locke's so lost in his work (which isn't going well, and he can't tell why) that he doesn't notice exactly what else is going wrong.
New Journals:
eudokia Eudokia Tzitzinia is the younger sister of Andromeda Tzitzinia, who ran away from home in her teens to become a hunter. She ended up fighting in the Resistance under a former French wizarding diplomat, Thierry Jeannot, but of course, they lost. Jeannot, Eudokia and their associates ended up going back to hunting and doing whatever else it took to earn a living. Unfortunately, Jeannot died while they were working for Halász Sándor, who had hired them to help him get his sister out of Italy, and Eudokia and her husband, Rainer "Fife" Pfeifenberger, are now in command of what's left of the crew. (PB: Gina Torres)
fife Rainer Pfeifenberger is an insanely good pilot, Austrian by descent but not in his current political sympathies, who flies the aeroplane Eudokia Tzitzinia's crew depends on (at least when he and Halász Sharolt can keep it running). He is Muggleborn and madly in love with Eudokia, who is also his wife. (PB: Alan Tudyk)
meghan_owens Meghan Owens (Hufflepuff 1936) is an Auror working in Londinium who is just a little too prone to get mixed up in Mysteries' business for her own good. (PB: Eve Myles)
michelrosenthal Michel Rosenthal, formerly professor of harmonics at Académie Beauxbatons, has spent the last two years working with Lavinia Scalara, Frank Abbott and the Bletchley Park crew. He is startlingly young for his job. His closest relations this side of the pond, aside from his father and older brother, are the Goldsteins. (PB: David Krumholtz)
orvos Halász Sándor was one of the best healers in Europe, and he was unwilling to leave his research at Durmstrang even when things began to go wrong, because he loved his work and he was close to his parents and his sister. But then he got a cryptic letter from his sister who had been working in an experimental programme in Italy, and it turned out he loved his sister more. (PB: Sean Maher)
Here's the list of who's where on Insane Journal.
New Graphics:
Marlie Watkins, breadandroses, has a new PB, Zooey Deschanel.
Alessio Zabini, Alvaro Benedetto, Charis Malfoy, Dracaena Malfoy, Endymion Dashwood, Fujiwara Kenjiro, Isaac Diggory, Jack Randall, Jamie Macmillan, Léo Szilárd, Maddie Proctor, Maria Dashwood, Nadezhda Karkaroff, Poppaea Malfoy Rosier, Rob Mitchell, Valeria Zabini and Yvon Malfoy all have new userpics.
Please be patient with us as many of the new journals are not yet set up and do not yet have proper layouts. I'm 2/3 way done with my own and then I'll be able to help other people. Once all the old journals are laid out at all, new layouts will again be noteworthy.
Under New Management:
There are a lot of characters that are currently open. Check out the Adoptable Characters page for descriptions of the kinds of adoptions that are open and lists of characters available for each. If you are not sure, ask. :)
