This post is fluid time, meaning it is not set for a specific date - please state the time/date/location in the subject of your thread's first comment. There were a lot of thread ideas for the spattergroit breakout, so to help the friends list here's a group thread. Be creative, this can be the first early symptoms of Spattergroit, it can be a few days in, or toward the end of the disease. Perhaps something else entirely, but it should have something to do with the outbreak. OUTBREAK INFO

WHO: Sturgis Podmore and Emmeline Vance
WHAT: Talks
WHERE: A park
WHEN: This afternoon!

( Why are you still here, Emmeline? )

It's over.

That was all Emmeline had to say to the last remaining remnants of the once powerful Order of the Phoenix. She had come down from her bedroom early that morning, unsurprised to see the usual gathering. It had been a daily routine, when no word, no sign of...it had felt as if they still had some power in the situation, some sort of hand in the game, but...Emmeline stared down at the broken piece of wand she'd set on the table, knowing that all their efforts had been for naught.

Sturgis Podmore had let out a shout of anger and kicked over a chair before storming out of the room, Elphias had frozen in his spot until Emmeline told him to go, and he rushed off to find his family, and Remus...Emmeline couldn't pull her gaze up toward him, thinking...thinking that it didn't matter what he did now. What did any of it matter? The Order was done, it was over, so it didn't matter that she never saw these men again. They'd wasted their lives because of some streak of nobility they all innately had, and look at where it had gotten them.

Shambles, the Order was either dead or in shambles. In this moment, she regretted so much.

Still standing at the end of the table, Emmeline reached out to grab hold of the broken wand and put it in her cloak pocket. Her neck ached from being dipped forward for so long, and when she finally lifted her gaze she lost the coverage her curtain of hair had provided. There was no other way to look at Remus but sadly, and Emmeline diverted her eyes once again. She didn't want to lay this on anyone's shoulders but her own.

"You should go," she said, her voice unable to hold the conviction of the command. Her mind was sluggish, as if she was still dreaming, but the pain in her chest reminded her that she unfortunately alive and awake. Emmeline took in a deep breath, feeling dull waves of nausea come over her as she began to think about all that laid ahead.

Two nearly identical packages arrive at Emmeline and Derek's doors, the wrapping smeared quite obviously with blood.

In Emmeline's package, the wand-handle to Caradoc's wand is found. In Derek's, the blasting end. The middle portion is absent from either package.

Each has a note scrawled hastily on torn parchment:

Missing something?

WHO: OG ORDER WHAT'S UP
WHAT: SCREAMING
WHERE: LONGBOTTOM MANOR
WHEN: NOW RIGHT NOW

( Bravo Diggle, I think you just outwitted Dumbledore in my book )

WHO: Emmeline and Caradoc
WHAT: Reunited and it doesn't feel so good
WHERE: Longbottom Manor
WHEN: TONIGHT RIGHT NOW

( Caradoc wanted so desperately to whisper hot in Emmeline’s ear that they could run, they could go, leave here, and never look back. )

The patronus lit up the alley, and with a loud pop, Emmeline Vance appeared in the middle of the small park Sturgis had confirmed Grayson had been seen in earlier in the week. Whether or not the death eater was still around, it would only be a matter of time before he returned, because as soon as her feet hit the grass, her wand shot out producing a siren spell that had been hurled during their last encounter. The shrieking would be a minor annoyance to the muggles in the area, who would hear the sound as an equivalent to cats bickering in the night. To Wilkes, however, it would hopefully ring familiar.

Pacing, feeling odd in these shoes (not much walking about had been done since they'd arrived in England), Emmeline looked up to the sky, seeing a few stars through the branches of the trees. The patronus had given the go-ahead, which meant that Dedalus' rescue was being started.

While that was happening, it would only make sense to have Grayson Wilkes thoroughly occupied, correct? The logistics of the plan were figured down to the second, and...in theory...everything should work out in their favor.

In theory. There were many variables that could disrupt them. Emmeline raised her wand over her head, causing brightly lit sparks to fly about.

"I'm right here!"
