Whizz Hard Book Launch
Who: Anyone related to Scottish Quid/Affairs/Press/Books in general (so pretty much all of you if you want) and all current and past members of both teams (NPCs welcome!)
What: The release of the Golden Neep companion book
When: March 16th 8pm
Where: Portree and Montrose clubhouses
Warnings: Language maybe? Drinking






This year marks the 400th anniversary of the BIL's most exciting rivalry: The Golden Neep! In honour of it, Whizz Hard books is proud to present a companion book to their world famous 'Quidditch Through the Ages'.

WELCOME TO THE RELEASE OF:



Neep themed decorations are throughout the cocktail party. Including intricately carved neeps, and hors d’ouevres served in small carved out neep bowls.

At one table on each of the Montrose and Portree sides of the party is a long table set up with the book of the hour! There are even special edition versions in Montrose or Portree colours available tonight. Everyone who has prepurchased their book will get it in a bag of their choice. Options: Montrose, Portree, Golden Neep (for those who like to remain neutral) designs.

If you’d like...try to get it signed by your favourite quidditcher, you’re likely to find them around here somewhere!

The Book of the Hour



Each side has a party!

Management offices on both sides are locked and heavily warded to prevent spies (we got your back, Fergus) from sneaking around. But the main areas of the trophies, historical rooms, and social rooms and lounge are all open to the guests.

Both sides have shined their trophies and old players have even lent their individual ones to buff up the display. On each side there are articles framed on the walls at various places, showcasing historic or significant victories or moment and each has even set up a historical showroom for it to show the uniforms over the years too. It’s a chance for both teams to show off their long history as BIL clubs and their numerous successes.

Just for tonight a dedicated floo connection has been set up between the two parties connecting the main rooms to allow people to move freely between each side. The floo will not allow you to go elsewhere and there isn’t even a requirement to name your destination, though if you’d like to leave please use the regular floo available around the corner.

PORTREE SIDE



MONTROSE SIDE

(aka. Arrivals) The main entrances in both clubs are open for you! Just because you come in on one side doesn’t mean you have to stay there though!

Also please note that the special themed cocktails on either side of the party are complimentary but anything else is a cash bar.

OF COURSE MAGGIE IS HERE. Dressed by Peggy(™), she's eager to celebrate a braw book about a braw thing and Support Her Team.

She tries to find Alec at the beginning to say hi and give him a quick and civil congratulations, but right as she does he's on his way to Montrose and she doesn't feel like going over there.

Oh well. Better luck next time.

Onto the party!!!

Charlie has his very own invite due to being press, but was going to come anyway for Dani. He drops by earlier in the day during some of the setup Montrose side to help Dani out and mess with Mick a little. Gina's at Dani's parents' place for tonight and Charlie's cleaned up to look dashing and get excited about seeing all the awards and history sections. And a book with all the fun stats that he's totally going to fact check!

He's ready and suited up for this!

Kenna arrives with David wearing a very slightly risqué green dress, but she's in the best shape of her life and can totally pull it off. Not a hair is out of place on her head and her makeup is flawless. Needless to say, she is feeling good and ready to be a social butterfly tonight.

Alec is at both clubs most of the day, once the floo is set up midday he's flitting between the two clubs helping with overseeing set up and making sure everything is in order. He leaves to get ready and arrives back ready to greet, play host, and triple check all the book stuff is good. He's in his classic tailored dress robes with an Urquhart tartan tie on.

Since he's busy flooing between clubs a lot and he can't greet everyone, there's usually a Whizz Hard employee at each entrance, ready to tell him when some of the ppl on the important list walk in on either side.

Ernie came to represent Montrose because there are very few things his aunt asks him to do and Ernie tries to do them so as not to draw either her or his grandmother's (whose arm he came in on) ire about such things. Imagine him, obviously, in various shades of black, white and charcoal gray.

Gwen is, of course, here for the Portreeset-up and all arrivals. She will give up her ~personal brand~ of black and white clothing over her cold dead body, but her concession to both her team colors and to the gold theme is a black dress with golden shimmer and a purple neck scarf fixed with a gold lion's-head pin. She specifically seeks out Alec early on to congratulate him on a job very well done and to find out if he needs her to put out any last-minute fires.

Peggy arrives on Georgi's arm. She has coached him on what to say if people ask him things so he's ready for any of the obvious press questions. While of course Georgi is wearing Montrose colours (those being traditional in men's dress anyhow) she is in a purple cocktail dress and ready to be photographed by the magazines.

Mick had to help organize and decorate all afternoon, so obviously he's at the party — and on time! (If a little pestered by Dani's tall and overwhelming husband.) He's repping Uplift support tonight in a blue suit with hot pink details on his bowtie and pocket square like a classy person.

Bart arrives with Kirsten on his arm. Since she's the fashion star and of course dressed in purple, he has turned up in purple trousers in an otherwise simple outfit to match her. They're not here to talk politics but quidditch and Bart and Kirsten both know how to cut off lines of conversation they don't want to have, so the focus is kept on Quidditch and the upcoming Neep.

Catriona McCormack showed up on the Portree side with both children in tow.

Meaghan is wearing a suit because no mum can win every time, but her hair is miraculously and almost unrecognizably tamed. What happened? Is she wearing a wig? (Probably not, how would she fit that over her actual hair?)

Kirley is wearing an almost piratey purple shirt and a kilt in the MacFarlane tartan. His hair is a mess because eff you, he’s a rock star (and possibly Cat was tired out from wrangling Meaghan’s, or maybe Meaghan kept noogieing him when her back was turned, who can say).

Hamish arrives, having taken a break from broom testing to shower and change then show up at this gala. On a normal day, he'd have been more enthusiastic about the opportunity to hang out and get free drinks. But thanks to A&K, all he wanted to do was be up in the sky.

Still, he shows up cause his Da asked him to do so. And he's cheerful enough because he likes quidditch and most of these people.

Gregor is there, but comes in by the field entrance, because he's not very comfortable on a golden carpet. He's wearing a suit and looks as if he's shaved within the last day or so.

Lorna arrived with Owen and looking fancy again in purple lace for Portree. Has it really been since the holiday season she's dressed up fancy? Well, they are getting ready for the Neep, and this is all about their rivalry today. And since things have stressful lately, Lorna is looking forward to enjoying spending time with Owen.

Having been assured that Bertie or Charlie or possibly both were walking Mum in, Mel apparated to the Park after work and freshened up, then walked down to the practice field and into the clubhouse through the lockers.

He'd had enough public notice for one week, thank you very much! RHIP and not walking the carpet is one of them!

Desmond and Janine arrived on the Montrose side because I already put Meaghan on the Pride side that's where Charlie was arriving so they figured they'd show up there and see Dani, then make their way to Portree to see Gwen.

He's wearing something fairly appropriate I think and is Remaining Neutral on all matters Neep, as someone who never played in it, or for either of the teams.

Apart from the fact that it's a grand Scottish tradition, of course.
