Hogwarts World Tour

yo, hectic couple of days. Hoping to get the IC up in the coming hours and then I'll be out of town for a week. Since it's been pretty quiet in the OoC, if I don't hear from each player an Aye or an actual IC post by the time I'm back, I will assume you no longer wish to participate and carry on without you.

Château de Lalune

Well shit that escalated quickly. :P

I suppose I should get Greg on the plane. Just got back from a weekend of intense hedonism and have just cracked into my last bit of green so I might either be feeling super creative and productive or just ennd up rallay sle[rg[ibe'dcfscsvcacxzxaxaz\xazxzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hogwarts World Tour

Yo yo yo, back from Scotland, sunburned and utterly frazzled from a crazy-good time that just kept coming up roses.

Gonna have a cheeky doobaroo and start thinking about putting together the IC either this evening or tomorrow. I'm then away for almost a week from Thursday, which'll give youse a chance to all post.

Hogwarts World Tour

Just so y'all know, I'm gigging on a small island in Scotland this weekend, which means there's a 0.00000001% chance I'll be able to be online before Sunday and possibly also Monday. I'll endeavour to start the game as soon as I'm back, whether y'all are ready or not.

Poll Results!

So, our top three are:

• Dragons
• Egypt
• Veela

Dragons and Egypt aren't mine, so I'd like to open the floor to everybody for ideas, because I don't know what you'll be wanting. I pitched loosely for some Dragon Jurassic Park, but (a) don't know if that's what you're wanting and (b) have absolutely no idea for Egypt. We also need to decide where the Dragons are, and what Egypt is like as a place to be. If anybody wants to take the lead there, go for it. :)

Further question: do people want to dive straight into the action or would you rather have a few turns of just chilling in some foreign town to get the chance to talk to each other and see what's what?

PS: excuse my no-show yesterday. Was still absolutely fried from the weekend which had two 24hr+ days in it, so I basically just got my zen on.

I'm regretting not voting for Nurmengard. :(

@ravenDivinity

After each/couple of episodes, I'll redo the poll. By that point, people's minds will have changed on what they're wanting, some people may have dropped out, and there'll be more/fewer things to choose from.

One thought I'd not really considered was, how do people feel about the group splitting up? There is a lot of us, and if some people want to do some episodes and other people want to do others, that might be a viable option. I wouldn't suggest we start off like that, but maybe there'll come a point.

POLL IS OPEN!

Click here to let your voice be heard. I think I've added everybody's suggestions, but if I've missed any or you want to make a late addition, click Other and you can write it in. Hopefully other people should be able to view and select that option (but I'm not super-duper certain).

The poll will be open until midday tomorrow, GMT. Ie: just under 36 hours from time of writing.

@HalfOfLancelot - Lookin' good. Throw him in the character sheet. I'm gonna suggest he and Beck are friends (they've shared a lot of classes and are in the same House), but have no idea what he'd make of Will, given that they'll have shared dorms for seven fuckin' years - but if Remington's perceptive, he'll hopefully realise that Will's a tool but not an asshole (intentionally), so maybe if Will's not too torturous to live with, they might actually even get on.

@Kirah - what're we saying for Kyle and Will?

Hogwarts World Tour

1) house party till five in the morning
2) have no memory whatsoever of either falling asleep or waking up
3) eat a chicken sandwich
4) drive 3 and a half hours to a gig we were expecting to be terrible
5) went really unbelievably well but
6) was so hot that I literally changed my clothes, twice and
7) scored the most atrocious blister
8) had only eaten a chicken sandwich so was literally shaking when we stopped playing
9) drummer dithered like a fucking goon when taking the gear down making it take literally twice as long as it should

Less chatting, more packing.

@Jig

You are never bringing your gear ever again.

@Jig

10) drive three and a half hours home, arriving at half three
11) sit down to some pasta, garlic bread and some leftover champagne
12) will be gigging again at 3 tomorrow

Guys, I've been busy. I'm really super-duper absolutely fried, both physically and mentally. I'll consider looking at this stuff once I've eaten (probably will) but my Laser of Justice^TM is going to be highly faulty. Sorry I've been away, but, well, hey, I've been away. Normal service should resume tomorrow night, assuming I don't just pass out from exhaustion and never wake again.

Hogwarts World Tour

Yo yo yo. Haven't died, just was partying last night (still absolutely smashed now) and I'm gigging this evening so I'll probably be on properly later tonight.

@Everyone

I'm hoping to get this started by the end of the weekend - even if the character sheets aren't totally done I'd still like to open the IC by that point. Therefore, it'd be handy to know where we're going first! So, I'm gonna call it 24 hours before opening a poll on the suggestions so far... most of which are mine. If you want to throw anything in the idea pool to be considered for the first or second episodes, please get it in before 04:30 GMT (23rd). The poll will be open for a further 24 hours, and then we'll get this show on the road/broom/chimney/portkey.

Character: Beck Routledge
Relationship: Knows her in passing, as being in three classes and the same house together. However, Beck was not the sociable one, so Elise hardly knows her. (Ideas?)

@kittyluna45

Sooooo, I missed that they shared subjects and were in the same House (and therefore, dorms). After seven years, they can't not know each other :P
Maybe friendly but hardly best mates? Perhaps they were a bit more pally-pally earlier on but in later years Beck started hanging with a different crowd? See: Darren

@kirah @McHaggis

Can't tell if that Like is an endorsement of the Will/Siobhan/Kyle situation. :P
