[quote=Doctor Belasco]With respect to Johann, I'd rather meet them somewhere other than Germany, since he's clearly going to be reasonably central to any arc we have in Germany anyway, so I'd rather sexy French veela to sexy German veela. In ideal Belasco world where Belasco gets everything Belasco wants with respect to Johann's character arc, the veela would be introduced in the short-to-middle distance. I kinda get the feeling that if he were to go on a bit of a rampage, he needs to have spent some time making at least some alliances in the group in order not to simply be abandoned.[/quote]

Though the group not abandoning him could be the thing that causes Johann's character development. I dunno'.

[quote=Doctor Belasco]There's definitely no Leps outside Ireland, though.[/quote]

Quick, someone that isn't me think up something we can do in Ireland! 

[quote=Doctor Belasco]Let me present France as a country with a reasonably right-wing government but a population (workforce) that really really really doesn't like it. Can you smell red riots? Suppose we get caught up in a massive protest that starts to get out of hand? I thought perhaps there could be a yearly wizardry festival (maybe even similar to a music festival!?) at an unplottable magical castle in France, which then becomes the target for a big demonstration. Think riot police. Think disaffected workers. Think carnage. Think chaos. We don't have to stick around to fix it; it can be as simple as turning up, pitching the tents, getting into a spot of bother then fleeing for our lives.[/quote]

Is this all leading to a "Switzerland is the only nice place in Europe." thing? Everyone else seems a bit busy coming out of their conservative shells. :newlol
