[OOC] The Salem Academy of Magical Arts (Harry Potter-Esque)

It is. It just takes forever to travel around the US. Not like it is in the UK

Maaaaagic.

I'm sure it can happen.

(To get to NYC for the start of each term, perhaps a portkey? Or no, Floo Powder, that seems more likely, to some place not too dissimilar from the Leaky Cauldron?)

[May]

Magic works fine if you have magical parents, but not everyone does :P

But I like either portkey or Floo powder from something similar I guess. Maybe even your own home? Because then you still have the problem of getting to the Leaky Cauldron similar place...

[Stitches]

I'm afraid I don't follow from "Maybe even your own home?" onwards. Could you elaborate?

And yeah, Tai's a muggleborn, so I'm in the same boat as you. But I'm sure they'd allow Floo Powder at that age, because it'd be silly not to be provided with it in such a large country like USA.

[StuartM]

I think I'll use floo powder from my house to the train station? Well, the bit of the train station that our train is at. I'll start working on it and try get my post up soon. (-:

Did anyone Like the Train I found for the Salem
I choose a Streamlined Steam Locomotive because our school is so much newer and American


For those that may have missed it here it is once more

The Salem Zephyr

As long as we aren't running around with iPhones and all this fancy tech then I'm straight (Y)

I adored the train you found us, and I think it looks -very- good. Much more..." 'MURICA" than hogwarts express!

Sorry, was typing one handed with a baby crying in my ear >.> I meant that it would be the same problem as getting to the train station as it would be getting to the 'leaky cauldron' And the maybe your own home meant floo network from home to the station. Make more sense?

[Stitches]

Makes more sense, but then you'd need a bunch of fireplaces in a station. I don't know, I don't usually see many fireplaces in a station myself, which is why I suggested some sort of american diner, or run-down 'abandoned' building, near the station with a fireplace and anti-muggle enchantments.

[May]

Oh, okay. I follow what you're saying now lol

Hi Tater

[NarcissisticPotato]

Hi, I'm officially working on the first post right now but I may be distracted by Poland Ball pictures because God I love them.

[NarcissisticPotato]

Posted! Stitches, you up for Tai and her posse showing up?

I was asleep.

Tai will certainly arrive, it's up to the others to post on -their- arrival. I just wonder if they're still around.

EDIT: My gang haven't posted in 3+ weeks in ANYTHING.

So, uh.

Who wants to be friends with Tai Lun? xD (I notice that Sylvia and Robert might be a good choice for Tai Lun. Juuust in case they want to.)

[NarcissisticPotato]

Right, I'll go and make a Foxglove or Gladium student. Maybe if we encourage people to make two characters each then it would increase our roster of characters. Also, is there too little professors to make that a thing?

I've already got a character and a professor. And yeah, I think there are quite a few professor gaps now.

[May]

I could probably whip up another character . Do we need more students or more adults? I've already got an old Hogwarts Ancient Ruins prof I could easily adjust for this if we need him.

Also, Sylvia would be friends with pretty much anyone so she can definitely be part of Tai's crew :)

Glorious. Tai made her 'crew' friends at the start of the first year, so you'd know Tai Lun. And you'd know her well. (and I'll adjust my posts accordingly for those who are part of her crew to be able to read Tai's body language.)

[Memories of Conquest]

Well, went missing for a while, glad that this hasn't died yet! Too bad we can't change the main OOC post.

For the record, are the professors on the Zephyr?
