No electricity I'm used to. Some lunatic messing up the city? Also used to. Maybe there should be some protocols in place if this happens frequently around here, and this is me assuming it does.


Filtered to Elizabeth:

Where are you? The city is a damn mess. I haven't heard from you and it's starting to worry me

Right then, been skulking enough for one week, I'm going out for a drink. Any takers?

I don't understand Harry seems to have gone. Both of them.

Just thought everyone might like to know.

They've started talking about contests to do for Father's day, since it's next month, at the radio station. Someone suggested a father-son look-a-like contest where people can email in their photos.

I can't help but feel like any number of castle residents with ickle selves would have an unfair advantage on a rather extreme level.

[Edited to filter against the Ickles]

What am I supposed to do with a nine year old? A nine year old me. One who doesn't know magic exists, one who is unable to do any magic himself whatsoever.

At least I have him out of the Dursleys'. That's a plus, right?

I just wanted to thank those who were able to make it to the ball last Friday. I'm sorry it seemed to have landed on a day during the latest strange occurrence. But thank you for those who were still able to donate or come out to the ball. It meant a lot to me as well as the women's shelter.

We've added everything together and were fortunate enough to raise - between the castle residents, the citizens of the Land of Make Believe, and the local organizations and business - $15,322! That was beyond our expectations! Thank you for your help.

To those who were unable to make it because they were transformed into a mythological creature of Earth, I'm very sorry. If there is anything I can do to help you, please let me know.

I think I might attempt to get a job at the University, if they'll have me. I'd like to have a good reason to get my hands on laboratory supplies.

Could anyone give me a rundown of what I have to expect when it comes to these experiments? What are the ones that have been done before? A complete least would be helpful.

Spring break just got loads better. Behold! The King of Snakes:

[Pretend THIS is a hastily snapped picture of Regulus the Elder as a Dracaena, angrily reaching towards the camera.]

Also, I think I need a new place to live for a while? Who wants to help a fifteen year old boy out?

Some of you may or may not know this, but I work as a communications coordinator for the Alliance of Global Justice. We're going to be hosting a charity ball in the next couple of weeks, and I wanted to extend the invitation to everyone in the castle!

I'm working on making personal invitations. However, considering I unfortunately do not know everyone who lives in the castle, I thought first it'd probably be best if I just try to get a head count of those who may be interested in attending. From there I can make the personalized invitations.

It will take place Friday, April 19 at 6pm over at the convention center. Tickets cost $15 each - to try to be reasonably priced - and the plates of food will vary from as low as $5 to as high as $30 depending on what you order. All proceeds will go to a local women's shelter. I'm inviting castle residents, but others in the city will be in attendance as well. Dress is formal.

If you are unable to attend but still would like to donate, you can contact me and I will set you up with that as well. All who attend and donate will have their name placed in a final list that will be given to the women's shelter as well.

I promise that even if you attend and donate to this I won't continue to bother you for more money. I just thought to put the offer out there for everyone.

Thank you for your time! It is greatly appreciated.

I forgot to mention that there will be a string band, made up of students from the music department of the university that will accompany the guests in dancing, as well as light music to listen to while you converse with each other.

Right. So guess what I've discovered?

Demigods can totally get sugar rushes.

Can't accurately deduce if I had a concussion upon arrival here, but I got, I got a gut feeling that says I haven't had one recently. So, I uh, I uh.. I wanted to say a serious and profound apology to anyone I befriended when I was previously here. You deserve better than a guy who forgets you, it's not--not cool. Just not. I can't help it, but I'm apologizing all the same.

And, I'd be wild about trying again, if you'll let me. I'd like that. It's pretty cool to find out I had made a lot of - a lot of friends.

Help! I went to find food in the kitchens for Kurt and me and the puppies but I got lost. I know those things aren't inside but I'm scared. I don't know where I am and I've only talked to Kurt. I don't know anyone else but I know there are others here.

Please, help?

I think I'm on the second floor. If I wasn't so freaked out by those things I'd feel more adventurous. As it is, I'd rather stay put until someone can help me...

What are these things?!

I'm in the castle right now, but I can feel - people are dying.

I am missing some things.

1. My miniature self
2. My House Elf
3. My cat
4. My pig

Who ever has these things of mine, please kindly return them. Thank you.

Why does everything taste like cardboard?

Seriously. I can't taste anything and this totally sucks.

But I guess it's good in a sense since I have to cook for myself now, right?

This place again?

Fucks and arses.

Reminds me, my arse itches.


OOC: Hello everyone, for those who don't know him, this is Squib Reggie. He was disowned by his family when it was apparent he had no magical abilities, and he grew up in an orphanage. He's rude and gross and scrappy. \o/ Enjoy. If you want more details, just ask me or watch him in play.

Tell me things, people! Tell me, and I will listen/read and (most importantly) I will understand what you said/wrote.

So waking up was was a bit of a shock this morning.

It's lovely to know that the castle is kind enough to include those of us who don't even live there in its little games.

Good news and more good news! Those ugly little furry things are gone now and I can smell again! Life is good at the moment and those flowers smell so lovely that I got from my date. Now to get some much needed rest I have classes and work tomorrow.

I'm glad to see that all the madness has gone away now from the castle. I did spend a couple days in a hotel because I don't like seeing animals being killed and there were just too many for me to deal with. So while I took my classes, and went to work, I watched romantic comedies. One was actually really good. Its always great to see the couples have their happily ever afters. I almost had mine here and back home. Maybe I will get it again someday, I am starting fresh and I have a date this weekend. A double date with this guy that is taking a musical theater class with me and Kurt is coming along too because he has a friend. So I think I'm heading in the right direction, its just dinner after all.
