Occult Regulation Office: A Mature Wizarding World Anthology

@BrutalBx funny, 'cause they're all dead.

@Xilaw

Exactly. Life expectancy for a Regulator is very short, hence why many refuse to actually work within the office.

I'm sitting on my hands to stop from posting Kaits response. We've got the born bitch vs. The born manipulator.

@Starwinter

With Roddy in the middle. This can only end great

Roddy Callahan - 2017

---

---

”Well I….” Before Roddy could even get his first word out, a familiar touch graced his arm, quite roughly actually. He looked briefly at his wife as she spoke. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to work out what was happening. Lanie and Kaitlin had never been friends, ever.

When Lanie had come to town, it was all about her. She was everything anyone could ever want and she knew it. Kaitlin on the other hand was a homegrown beauty. Things changed fairly quickly, as they often do when hormones and teenagers are involved. Kaitlin underwent a dramatic shift in personality as her body developed into something from a fifteen year old boys wet dream. Maybe was an idiot but Roddy, even then, had never seen her like that. To him, she was still that freckled little ginger kid who used to fall out of the tire swing in his backyard constantly. When Kait had gone full bad girl, she still turned to Rod to bail her out and he always did, cos she was his friend.

Lanie on the flip side, had very little time for Rod in high school, they probably only even said about six lines of dialogue to one another before the shooting. While she was off getting fucked up with Decky Boaz, Rod was reading Wordworth and punching his way out of depression. Of course in hindsight, he knew that his beloved was dealing with her own issues at the time and it was probably for the best that they got together when they did. Still, the hatred between Lanie and Kait seemed Shakespearean, it was far more than just high school drama.

Rod thought back, the trip to Sundance at the end of the year, Principal Payne had promised a weekend that the kids would never forget and that was definitely the case. Many secrets and dark goings on were revealed during that weekend getaway. Specific to this encounter, Lanie found out that Kait had tried to get with Decky. Well a cat fight in the snow was just the start, senior year was the worst of it all.

SEASON 3, EPISODE 1 – BROKEN KIDS OF BOSTON

Roddy Callahan – 2006

---

Young Roddy leaned his head against his locker, taking deep breaths as he did so. It was the first day back for senior year and Roddy was already having an anxiety attack. He had not spoken to any of his friends since the film festival that had caused so many problems. Lost in thought, he nearly didn’t notice the familiar sound of Derek O’Leary taunting him from behind. The ringing in his ears started up again and his grip on his hard cover text book tightened like his chest.

White hot anger bubbled in Roddy’s chest as he swung his arm around and bashed Derek in the head with his book before slamming him into the lockers. ”Say another word, O’Leary and I’ll shove that football up your ass” Feeling a tug on his sleeve, Rod turned to see Kait trying to pull him away. He dropped Derek onto his butt before backing away, following Kaitlin away from the scene. It was unlike Rod to lash out, something was changing inside of him and it was frightening. He raised his eyes for a second to see the sour look given to Kaitlin by Lanie Lancaster as they walked by.

Interacting with Everyone

---

---

As the room began to fill out with his fellow Regulators, Emory glanced down towards the scry map again. He watched as the Caretakers darkening blood spread out to the blank page next to it and began to scribble the information that had been passed on via the possession. It was extremely dark magic, the act of scrying. It entailed full possession of a beings mind, a far more painful type of hex than many of its siblings. Blood magic was dangerous and volatile and the Welshman was unsure why it was insisted by those in charge that it was used. The Caretaker had suffered through it for as long as he had been a part of the Office, it was something that darkened the hearts of those that witnessed it. Athos had been the first to arrive, questioning where the scry map had signified their cases would be.

”Both stateside, California and Texas”

Richard had been the next one to speak up, eyeing the map himself. ”We’ll split up into two groups, we can cover more ground so to speak that way” Swiftly following Gloves was Bunny, who for once didn’t seem overly chipper, that was a plus. Emory liked her, she was good to have around and kept spirits up when they were down but that didn’t stop her constant clattering around an annoyance.

Isa had done nothing to hide the fact that she had spent the night in Emory’s bed. Then it was no secret they had a physical relationship. Even Emory himself was unsure of what exactly was going on. Was it a comfort thing? A lot of sense had left the world for Emory and his memory had been giving him a fair bit of trouble lately. Blocks of time gone, like smoke in a strong wind disappearing before your eyes. A day apart might help him clear his head…maybe. Hearing the slight joyish tone of her voice, Emory knew what had to be done.

”I’ll take a team to Cali, Isa you go to Texas”. That girl did love her sweets.

Tariq and Zara were the next two to enter the map room. Emory had known Tariq the longest here, they were sorted into slytherin together and grew up at Hogwarts very much in arms reach of one another, not that it mattered, friends they were not. Zara was an interesting creature, beautiful and strange with such hints of sadness. She reminded him of Daisy, far too much than he was willing to share, the pain was still roar, it always would be.

Before long, Arthur, Kieran and Nickie joined the table. Three very different and distinct personalities. Arthur was the longest serving Regulator left in the office other than Emory, so usually it was those two that took on leadership roles, although depending on the case others were brought on point as well. He wad probably Emory’s closest friend. Nickie had been one of them for two years but she hadn’t really seen the type of things some of the others hand, she was in a way, an innocent. Kieran had his own demons, specifically one of the wolfie variety but he had been nothing but a godsend during his days as a Regulator.

Felix, Florian and Natalia were the final Regulators to enter the room. Felix was another one that Emory had known since his school days, he was a good friend of Daisy’s rather than Emory’s but he was a good guy non the less. Florian was someone he held a respect for, the dark arts were dangerous to be around yet Florian took it in stride. Natalia got shit done, which meant she was ok in Emory’s book. With all the Regulators now in place, Emory, being the first responder to the scry, had to take point as per their rules.

Picking up the now finished document of blood, Emory began. ”OK so, according to the scry we have two cases. In California, the famous Winchester Mystery House which has been plagued by so called hauntings has turned up a few bodies recently, all deaths unexplained. A friend of ours in their law enforcement is saying each body is lacking a soul. Fun stuff. Second job is Texas, child deaths, they seem ritualistic in nature, There’s a local legend of a Candy Lady which seems to be connected. Right then, we’ll split up and do our things. Isa will lead the Texas group which will be her, the Pink Elephent Squad, Kieran, Natalia, Arthur and Sebastian. Nickie, Gloves, Bunny, Florian and Zara are with me. You have an hour, get your gear, say your goodbyes and I’ll start apparating the house. Die well everyone”

“Die well” had become the motto of the ORO. Life expectancy for a Regulator was generally two to three years, so most who come in can only hope for a glorious death worth a damn. In reality, many die badly, in pain, alone and in the dark.

She'd try to fix him. She'd recognize the same pain in herself and try to rectify it, since she doesn't know how to fix herself.

@Sailorsadie

Interesting.

@Zahir


I know u said don't worry about it, but I wanted to fix it anyways! lol

@Angel Eyes

You are a sweetheart.

We've barely started and I'm already living for the dynamic we're building. You can expect my post soon. Also guys, I forgot to mention in the opening ooc post, there are no posting rules and there isn't a posting order but all I will say is wait for at least two people to post before you post again, just to avoid speed posting.

Occult Regulation Office: A Mature Wizarding World Anthology

Sorry guys, I was away for the weekend without access to a computer. Can anyone give me a quick recap so I can have something up very soon?

@Heretic

Right now all you've missed is people making their way to the map room to find out what's happening. You haven't missed much at all :)

Edenridge (Slice of Life with a Twist - Always Accepting)

@Dirty Pretty LiesYES. The bitch is back and I love it. Great post D.

Occult Regulation Office: A Mature Wizarding World Anthology

Righty then so, we only have Heretic to post an intro, so in that case I will have my next post up tomorrow with a bit of exposition and then we can move on to the interactions and the cases themselves!
