At the northern reaches of the New York metropolitan area, nestled in the state's scenic Orange County, Mercury Falls was founded 1685. Traditional, the residents pride themselves on the peaceful normality of the town. However, not everyone sees this as a good thing. Children, growing and graduating, move on to what they see as bigger and better things. With nothing to bring in new blood, Mercury Falls, having celebrated its tricentennial and then some, seemed to have been given a "use-by" date.
Mercury Falls High, once the pride of the town, was now decidedly average. In sports, they were win some, lose some. In academics, they fell comfortably somewhere in the middle of the achievement continuum. At least, that had always been the status quo, until about a year ago. The election of the new mayor brought about change. In the high school, grades started rising steadily, new classes were introduced and the Panthers had never had a better season. Grant money is rolling in and with it, new families and life. The town is once again flourishing, but for a troubling trend among certain students. As much as the town would like to deny and ignore it, at a disturbing rate, students are disappearing - going missing, committing suicide, running away.
What is going on in Mercury Falls?
Opening May 2nd! Many PBs still open!

So we all know that Captain Jack Harkness runs Torchwood Three, that Torchwood One was destroyed in the Battle of Canary Wharf, that Torchwood Two is headed by "a very strange man" and that Torchwood Four is currently misplaced. Well that's all fine and dandy, but things are about to start changing. Torchwood One is reopening just outside of London and is now known as Torchwood 1.1 and Torchwood Two's leader has been replaced. Torchwood Three of course isn't any different, with the exception that Jack has been missing for a bit. The big thing is that Torchwood Four is back on the map, headed by the same person it had been before it was 'misplaced'.
It seems Torchwood Four, headed by one Major Charlie Sheppard, had a minor malfunction involving Cardiff's rift. In fact, Torchwood Four is located right near Torchwood Three, or at least it was until it and its team got pulled into another universe. Which is where Lucian Devereaux comes in. It seems that he got a hold of a Time Agent's vortex manipulator in the far future and has been using it at his own pleasure. Well, until it backfired and he was sent to the present and made the rift flux, sucking Torchwood Four into it. Luckily, Major Sheppard wasn't there at the time.
Now as for Lucian, he'd been jumping through time randomly and unwillingly as he tried to fix the vortex manipulator. During this time he realized that he'd jump from the present in Cardiff to some different point in time and then back. Along the way, he managed to bring back people with him who shouldn't be during that time, and that caused the rift to go haywire, also bringing people to the present that shouldn't be there: those that are dead, those who aren't born yet, and those in other dimensions. And so, Torchwood realized they needed to work extra hard to try and stop this and thus re-established Torchwood Four, somehow convincing Charlie to head it once more. And that is where we begin...

Monitor Duty: that assignment everyone loves to hate.
All JLA members know that eventually they're going to be assigned a night up in space. It can be pretty boring, but generally they're prepared for that. Some are fine with the silence, content to meditate while staring out at the multitude of stars. Some bring office work, those young enough (or just ambitious enough) bring graduate work. Some even bring their children and wives. Everyone has something that helps them get through the long fifteen hour shifts in space.
Of course, let's not forget the most important variable of monitor duty. Who you're paired with can honestly make or break the occasion. Some would argue that spending fifteen hours alone with Batman isn't worth the three years of therapy one needs in result. On the other hand, it's those odd pairings during monitor duty that can sometimes breed the thickest of friendships. It's always fun when new duty lists are posted each month and exchanging grins or groans depending on who you've been paired with.
Some are happy with the boredom and monotony of the fifteen hour shifts, while others secretly wish that something exciting would happen. It's a mixed bag and you never know what's going to happen.
![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) monitorduty is a social, character development game based around the relationships, both good and bad, that develop within the JLA.

Toujours Libérer is a role-play game based within the French Revolution. It is slash-friendly, focused on the intrigue and passions of the time. Play as any European nationality or an American observer, as a poet, politician or aristocrat. Even a serving maid. Will your character escape France and resettle in England or will they help French aristos to escape? Will they betray their ex-employers or will they risk all to keep them safe?
Toujours Libérer is open. There is a chance for characters to interact, alliances to be made and duels to be fought at The Ambassador's Ball
The game is open to players 18 and over, and is an original game set in Revolutionary France.
Toujours Libérer Character Wishlist
We would dearly love some revolutionaries, some servants, and some non-French characters. Some foppish poets, some soldiery, disillusioned priests, maids, criminals, and other characters along these lines would also be welcome. We have a full quota of female mistresses and female prostitutes and so will not be excepting any more of these sorts of character.

"There was never a good war or a bad peace."
With the Wizarding World in the hands of a stable government at last, everyone has gone back to living their normal lives. Suddenly, headlines such as 'Man Steals Ice Cream Cone From Ice Cream Shop' and 'Another Hot Summer Soon To Come' are the most exciting news stories of the day. The only criminals about are those whose arms are not marked with a deathly insignia but are simply out to stir up an otherwise quiet world.
After the war, a small, independent organisation was formed in order to maintain the calm between Purebloods and Muggleborns. It was a peaceful organisation, one whose aim was to unite the Wizarding World with their ideals, not to destroy it. It seemed as if all was going well.
Until it all started back up again...
Rejuvenated RPG takes place in the year 2007. The war against Voldemort has long been over. The Death Eaters were the enemies of yesterday. Who will be the enemies of today?
Currently Looking For : Hermione Granger, Lavender Brown, Ernie MacMillan, The Patil Twins, Lucius Malfoy, Sturgis Podmore, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Arthur Weasley, Bill Weasley, Molly Weasley, Gwenog Jones, Andromeda Tonks, Teddy Lupin and many, many more!
(If you're Muggleborn and you know it, clap your hands....)

The wizarding world is changing. Hogwarts is run by Slytherins and Purebloods while Halfbloods wear badges to mark them as different and Muggleborns are either in hiding or imprisoned. The hero of the age, Harry Potter, is on the run and the fact that he and his friends are still alive is all that keeps some people from going crazy. Not everything has gone wrong. The Order of the Phoenix is fighting back and doing what they can to help everyone, including creating a secret school in London where Muggleborns are hidden and taught. Ted Tonks plays the role of Secret Keeper. Then at Dumbledore's Army does their best to lift spirits and fight the anti-Muggle sentiments while things look to only be getting worse.
