lightning_war post recap: 27 January - 1 February 2009
Game date and time: Thursday afternoon, 17 September 1942:
Announcements:
* Things are going to be slow during February as we reboot to Lightning War 3.0. There will shortly be a post to help you keep track of things as the names of characters, places and journals change over the next two months. Very little of the actual plot has changed; it's mostly names and places, although some of the Leffoy-Malaspina backstory is different. Erasing all the serial numbers will be a lengthy process--but when we are done, Lightning War will finally be free of all non-deniable Harry Potter references.
* Until further notice we are not recruiting new players. It’s not fair to anyone new to expect them to start when we’re in the middle of this.
* If you have friended this community but have not joined it, you are not a member. This means you will miss locked posts. You will be unable to vote in polls. Also, your comments on posts will be screened until a maintainer unscreens them, which makes discussions less lively..
* We back up posts to this community and comments made on those posts. Please be aware that if LiveJournal fails permanently, everything will be reposted for the sake of continuity somewhere else, probably IJ. No profit will be made.
* Kiri's backstory fic for Lightning War, World Well Lost, is also being de-Potterised and is being posted in her fic journal, http://azalais.livejournal.com, under friends lock, because she is still editing it and hasn't made any decisions about the copyright/copyleft for it. She will friend back anyone she recognises (well, except the trolls).
Completed/Continuing Open Threads:
Not everyone in Michel Rosenthal's sixth-form arithmancy lecture is paying attention to the maths. (Closed and complete.)
Olivia Goulston is disturbed by her readings and even more disturbed by Professor Stuart's reaction to them. So are Dylan Vieira and Colette Saint-Germain. (Closed and complete.)
Alexiel Penrose badly needs a clue. Endymion Dashwood attempts to give him one, but is interrupted by his little brother. (Closed and complete.)
New Posts:
Paul Pettigrew warns Eifion ap Finndo not to repeat the false information he passed on to him earlier.
Yvon Leffoy wants to make sure that Arianwen Rosier's warning gets passed on to everyone who needs to hear it.
Dracaena Leffoy discusses the impending betrothals of her heirs with her cousins, Julian Delgardie and Cador and Augustina Trevelyan.
Even Jezebel Walsingham agrees that the Royal Academy needs to be shut down, although she doesn't think Lady Dracaena should have a say in the matter.
Nicodemo Malaspina and Dion Fortune exchange some harsh words about the situation at the Royal Academy.
Dr Taverner informs Edward Kyteler that she's hired Joachim Piccard and if Eliot Gardiner still wants to collaborate with him, they will need to go through her.
Joachim Piccard isn't dealing well with the memories of the things he did while he was possessed, now that he no longer is. While he's thinking it over, he meets his new co-worker, Agent Linden Hill. (Closed and complete.)
Michel Rosenthal and Juliana Leffoy try to talk to some of the students who got the bad readings in the divination class earlier in the day. Colette Saint-Germain isn't happy to see them together. Moruith tries to talk to Liane about being a queen while she gets out of her school uniform and into her little black dress. Michel Rosenthal discusses the applied mathematics of distractibility with respect to the little black dress problem.
Moruith myr'Steren warns Addie Kyteler to expect trouble and also that Michel and Liane are driving her bonkers.
Professor Stuart cancels the rest of the day's divination and astronomy lessons.
Dracaena Leffoy tells Nicodemo Malaspina how her talk with Kyteler went and asks him to come home via paired-slate. He agrees, and tells her how his talk with Fortune went. (Closed and complete.)
Annie Loveday has had perhaps the most awful vision of all, but she only tells her diary.
On account of this vision, Annie Loveday decides to make sure the people she loves know it.
Dracaena Leffoy is having an agony of guilt about her inability to do justice to all her duties as sacred queen, diplomat, administrator and mother. Nicodemo Malaspina comes home and comforts her. (Closed and complete.)
Alice Bradbury writes to Annie and Kat Loveday about Kat's impending betrothal and to Mercy Thomas about the Pendry-Leffoy curse and its potential effect on her.
Melly Merriweather reminisces about her first year in Caerleon with Katya, Rodrigo and Angelo.
Rosalind Clutterbuck isn't sure how to comfort Thecla Device, but she tries to give her some loving sisterly advice.
Cyneheard Frealaf is also having trouble seeing into the future.
Gillian Greenwood is settling into the Frealaf household and feels a bit guilty for being so happy when everyone else seems to be so upset.
Keresek is upset because his visions seem to contradict each other; his mother Steren helps him sort it out. (Closed and complete.)
Rainer Pfeifenberger misses Thierry Jeannot, but not as much as he misses the woman he married.
Steren is worried about her daughter Moruith, whom she wishes hadn't taken service with Juliana Leffoy.
Constable Benjamin Forrester doesn't know what to make of the dreams about ravens that he's been having, either.
Halász Sándor notices that his sister Sharolt's taken a sudden turn for the worse--in a way which implies that there is probably something coming for her. (In progress.)
New Journals:
None this time.
Here's the list of who's where on Insane Journal.
Renamed Journals:
Florian Leffoy's journal, formerly luxserpentis, is now prince_florian.
Yvon Leffoy's journal, formerly artisson, is now yvon.
(Please note: these are Insane Journals, not Live Journals. If the new journal links even work, they probably won't take you anywhere LW-related.)
New Graphics:
The Department of Mysteries shared journal has new userpics.
New NPCs:
Linden Hill (Pelby 1930) is a Mysteries agent who has recently been assigned to work with Viresh Ayyar on his interviews of potentially "gifted" subjects after the recent death of her partner during an investigation. (PB: Anna Torv)
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. :) We will be accepting new applications once we are done rebooting.
