@BrutalBx

I'm still a bit sad the case for the gun people is not in Texas, would have Nickie making all forms of quips!

@Lauder

My apologies, I'll remember that for next time!

@BrutalBx So quick question before I start working on my post, do Kieran and Bunny share a workshop in the Domum or are there separate ones for Bunny's tinkering and Kieran's potion making?

I'm honestly fine with either, although the thought of the two stepping on each other's toes due to working in the same room does sound like it could lead to some fun shenanigans.

@Sarcelle Renard

That is completely up to you and @RumikoOhara. I myself don't mind either way since its something that pertains to your two characters specifically. As long as you guys make it clear to the rest of us though, you're golden.

OK guys, next round of posting should be moving your characters ready for departure. Then the cases will begin!

”Isa, I’m not upset ok?” Emory pulled himself away from her soft grasp. ”Listen what we do in our spare time is between us, I don’t care if people know about it or not but you have to remember, it’s what we do in our spare time. As soon as work starts, we work, there’s no room for whatever this is. When it comes to the job, it will always come first to me, alright? I care about you, we’re friends but I can’t and I won’t put you first” That probably came across more mean than he had intended but maybe it was for the best. Emory had come to terms with the fact that people die around him, it was a cold hard medical fact. The sooner Isa understood that, the better. ”Go and get yourself ready, we’ll be dropping you lot in Texas first” He leaned forward and kissed her forehead before descending a set of nearby stairs towards the apparition room.

The apparition room was unique in that it was mostly empty except for an old globe and a compass. These were artefacts that had been recovered from the wreck of the Queen Anne’s Revenge, otherwise known as Blackbeard’s ship. They held great power and could be used to move large amounts of people and things to wherever the wielder desired. Sauntering up to the lonely table, Emory drew his wand and aimed it at the globe, placing his other free hand onto the compass. ” Terra. Ignis. Aqua. Aer. Peto fine motus.” With a clear image of the scry map in his mind, the broken wizard began to recite the incantation and the globe began to move. The compass span violently and the lights flickered for a few moments before stabilizing. The house was now on it’s way, they would be in Texas shortly to drop the first team off.

Returning to his room, it was time for Emory himself to get ready for the case. Stripping out of the rushed ensemble he had placed upon his body before rushing to the scry room, the Welshman sat at his desk and looked upon his face in the mirror. It was a tired face, sleep often eluded him and he and refused all offers from Kieran of his sleeping draughts. He looked into his own eyes which seemed older than their years, he had seen so much in so little time. Scars had took shape across his toned body in shapes of bites and scratches and burns. Who would choose this life if they could be anything else? It was a question he had never asked himself until Daisy. He saw her face in the mirror staring back at him and he held his head in his hands.

”Accio ring” From somewhere in the room it flew into his palm, the meteorite wedding band that she had given him. He looked upon it with sombre remembrance of life cut short. The others all tried to hide their pain, to push it down into the deepest hole they could find within themselves. Emory did not possess the strength to do that, he wore his pain like an armour, something that was worse than the darkness he fought on the daily. He placed the wedding band upon his finger with a great sigh of despair before getting to his feet and heading to his wardrobe to change. Some of his contemporaries liked to dress rather garishly and others in the traditional robes of their wizarding forefathers; Emory had no such desire to be fashionable. He wore his jeans and his boots and a grey t-shirt. Once he was ready, he picked a book up from the table and left the room.

Descending into the dungeon, Emory looked upon the desperate frame of the Caretaker, exhausted from his pain, unable to sleep, unable to dream. “Master Emory, such a surprise” the creature spoke. “Is there something I can help with?” Taking a step towards him, Emory placed the book on the table in front of the cursed man. ”You’ve done enough for today, Caretaker. That is why I brought you something. Daisy used to bring you books to read, I thought you’d appreciate something to do while we’re away. It’s Wordsworth” The Caretaker looked upon the book that he had been given and opened it up, a message from Daisy.

”Beloved Caretaker, may the words transport you to meadows of green and bring about the love for you, the love unseen, Daisy Corrigan”

“Thank you, Master Emory. Truly. The Caretaker felt the young man’s hand on his shoulder and felt for but a second, for a whisper in the night, a sense of kinship. ”Good luck” Emory silently nodded before exiting the Caretakers chamber.

Placing his wand to his throat, Emory bellowed throughout the Dormum “TEXAS ARRIVAL IN TEN MINUTES”

Good God, you people move fast lol So many posts to catch up on.

when you're behind on the OOC

@Fat Boy Kyle

Don't worry, only thing you've missed is case assignments and now everyone is off to get ready.

So, how do we approach workplace romanticism? I mean, hooking up is fine, apparently, but what about having an actual relationship? I'm just asking since it'd be interesting to get into the subject given Natalia's past.

@Heretic

Having an actual relationship is completely up to the player/character. Its frowned upon by the brass but not forbidden. Emory was married to a fellow regulator until her death. So really, you can do whatever you want!

omg!!! so many new posts!!! Kill me!!! LOL I need to catch up!!

Also, I created a Discord so it will be easier for us to be in connection with each-other about the RP or whatever other random shit comes up! lol

Phone posting is fun

*phone kept changing Athos to ethos*

@BlackPanther

Oh my god, Athos is adorable. Literally when he and Felix start interacting, it's gonna be awesome.

Occult Regulation Office: A Mature Wizarding World Anthology

My post will be up later today! Actually at orientation right now- first day at new job!

@Sailorsadie

Good luck with the first day!

I'm curious as to how we are going to get to our cases from UK all the way to the US. Do we fly our brooms or does the house move, too (read it in the OP methinks). If that's the case then technically we shouldn't get ready yet until the house reaches the destination, which might take a while. Correct?

@Xilaw

As @Lauder said, Emory is moving the house "as we speak", the hour he gave for everyone to get ready is the preparation time for the house to make the jump from the UK to the USA. Once the Dormum reaches the US, the trips between Texas and California will be pretty much instantaneous. After that the House will need to return to Lundy to recharge. So while the Regulators are stateside, the House will return to the UK for a little RnR from the Caretaker so it's ready for the gang when they want to come home.

Just ask Emory's wife, she knew the odds!
