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

Each side has one and a Whizz Hard employee is manning it. You can pick up your prepurchased book (did you get regular or special exclusive team edition) or buy one there.

Comes with your choice of magically expanded bag:
Pride
Magpies
Neep themed (for those neutral folk)

Maggie pre-ordered the Portree book as soon as she was able to and has been looking forward to reading it more than is necessary, or appropriate.

She's a dork. Just go with it.

Alec can be found here some of the time! He's popping all over the place but can be stopped to have short convos and in some cases will be grateful for it! When he wants a few moments he likes to hang by the book table because that's the easiest thing to talk about and well...he's really proud (and a tad nervous about it so feel free to give him opinions).

Bart and Kirsten got the Portree edition, of course.

They have pens in their pockets just in case. They've been celebrity quidditchers for a while.

This book wasn't even on Kal's radar (sorry, Alec!)...but really, she doesn't much do books, so it's not a shock to her. She buys the normal edition but wants a Montrose bag.

Dani, of course, needs the Montrose special edition for her office. The question is whether Charlie also wants a copy for the house, and thus they have an excuse to also buy the Portree edition. (Neep bag, though, for reasons. Okay, okay, because it's green.)

Maddie gets a special Portree edition and plans to get a few people to sign her copy, too. If she does decide to retire, it'll be a a nice memento.

Des doesn't actually feel the need to own his own copy. One for the house is fine. But for the look of the thing, he did order his own -- to be kept at the office, in kind of dire and very specific emergency. It's the regular version, with the Neep bag.

He asks Alec to sign it.

Alec looks lost for a moment at the request and isn't sure if Des means him or if this is something to confirm the book's authenticity in the future. But he finds a quill to sign it for The Scottish Minister (he has to remind himself for a moment) and tries to do as neat a signature as he can! (And probably thanks him and Janine again for coming. And he likes the Neep bag best too.)

Dunbar preordered the Portree edition of the book, and to be contrary to the rest of Clan Dunbar chose to get the Neep themed bag - he's not stupid enough to be utterly contrary and go for the Magpies bag.
