Lockdown

So, my dears, this is how the Death Eater meeting is going to go down.

The Death Eaters will be summoned to the usual location, where Voldemort will give them the following rousing, scolding speech, after which he will be visiting with all of them privately. Those visits are going to be more like interrogations, with use of Legilimency and potentially the Cruciatus Curse to find out what his followers are keeping from him. Playing those out like a regular thread is definitely encouraged. :D There will be a mod-comment for general mingling and reaction to the scolding, and then a comment for each Death Eater, which is where the Personal Time With Voldiepants will be threaded.

Now, the consequences. Given the illegality of their work, it's reasonable for the Death Eaters to have some measure of Occlumency, so if there's something they really don't want the Dark Lord to know, they will be able to hide it with varying degrees of success. Of course, he's liable to realise that they're hiding something, so coming up with a plausible lie is probably a good idea.

Following those individual interviews, the Death Eaters will be receiving orders. We'll get those properly sorted once the interviews are over so we can pair and punish people properly. While we will be coming up with individual missions, if there's something you'd like to see done (and non-DE players, if you'd like your character or their family targeted) please drop a line under the "OOC REMARKS" comment!

( Voldemort is NOT HAPPY with you lot. )

Who: Minister Cadwallader, the Ministry folks, anyone who bought a ticket, the ridiculous amount of security.
When: December 20th
Where: The Ministerial Manor
What: A ball! Where nothing bad happened! At all!

After a long and trying year, the annual Ministry of Magic Fundraiser Christmas Charity Ball...thing... is undoubtedly the biggest event of the winter season. There's food, music, dancing, formalwear, lost of alcohol and more Christmas cheer than a country in such dire straights has any right to have.

Cads himself will be getting a bit tipsy, with his personal bodyguards on hand to ensure that nothing bad should happen, and will personally tell each and every individual Ministry employee how much he appreciates their hard work and dedication to their job. Depending on the time of night/how drunk he is/how friendly they are, they might even get a hug. All Ministry employees will also receive various gifts from the Ministry, usually something small and kitschy, like a mug that says "I <3 my M.o.M." or similar.



NB: Mistletoe was banned after the Holly Incident of 1937 (seven Wizengamot Witches and Wizards were fired after harassment suits, mostly from one another. Much damage control was done by all).
