Hogwarts World Tour

Useful Info Maybe

So when collabing with Raven, we came up with the idea that the following day is the start of Le Voltour Massif _{if I told you it was voltour de france, I was lying} - a straight flying ripoff of the bicycle race. Your character may or may not already know this, or they might find it as events transpire. Meanwhile, there's a good chance if you stay in your rooms for more than ten minutes, you'll hear a bang on the door and Beck's voice:

“Courtesy call for bar crawl! Five minutes, by the front door!”

Happy posting :)

@Jig: Would be a good idea. :V

@ravenDivinity

Okydoke. Check me out via pm for a googledoc or something. Gonna pass out shortly because I've got the best meds atm but we'll work something out over the weekend. :)

Thanks for being a saint about it so far.

@ravenDivinity

Thank you for my prehumous beatification. :P
Seriously though you were so close to being booted to the point where I had almost recruited somebody else to completely fill your spot and retcon Ross out altogether. If it helps avoid this kinda thing in the future, feel free to PM me an email address to harangue you on so that if it comes to another RavenGoesAwol, I can summon you from across the aether.

Anyhoo, fancy a collab rather than backing and forthing shorter posts?

I take it you're sticking around, @ravenDivinity? Could you pretty^cherryplease be more communicative with the group? I get that RL's a thing, but I've tagged you and PM'd you and while I'm glad you're still here and that you've posted, checking in with the OoC is pretty important so I know whether or not to move on without you.

_{and also for my sanity}

Okay, I've got back in touch with McHaggis (who is here), and Kirah and Kittyluna are both accounted for, so, yay. That's most of us. As for Raven, I still don't know: he'll get a couple of days' grace, and then I'll have to say we're going to move on without them. At the same time, I've put out a couple (just a couple) of invites for people to join us - this means there might be a bit of a retcon, depending on how the cast changes (if at all).

I'll keep you posted.

Anyone still here?

The Twelve Labours: General Discussion

Write a story about your character being sought out by another. While both should be remarkable individuals, they are not to be equals - upon their collision, your character must perish, and either overwhelm or else empower their foe. Otherwise, your character might elect to evade the confrontation - afterwards, they shall wane and forevermore be fated to mediocrity, a pale shade of their former self.

@Terminal

To clarify, "your character" is the Mary Sue archetype? Or can "your character" be either the seeker or the sought?

@Roosan

Theoretically, yes. In practice, it'd be difficult, as this is only just about to properly begin.

It's likely that in later chapters I'll actively want to recruit some more characters somehow. If you want to participate sooner than that point, please put together a character sheet when you can, so when there's a junction to fit you in, we can do - most likely at the start of the next chapter, but possibly sooner. Since I can be ^ahem picky and will be keen to help your character work as well as possible with the rest of the confirmed characters, doing this sooner rather than later will make everything work more smoothly.

As it happens, @RavenDivinity seems to have gone AWOL, so there may actually be a free spot for a male character to be retconned in much sooner than I was anticipating.

I've just got back from my festival. It was unbelievably amazing. Our tent got ruined so I was cold and wet for the whole weekend, but it was 48 hours of consistent partying, interspersed by playing music to lovely crowds. Our first gig was a nice friendly one on a small stage in a local venue. Our second gig was in the beer garden of small but nice pub and it was pissing it down: we were under cover, but about twenty people happily stood in the rain to listen to what we were doing (which is commitment). Our show yesterday, the penultimate band on the main stage, must have been to well over a thousand people and we were treated, for the first time ever, like actual goddamn rock stars with all the trimmings and an arena of people screaming for more. Backstage pampering and spoiling, including unlimited access to jelly beans and beer, and after our show, we couldn't go anywhere or do anything without people wanting to take their photos with us. The night before, my band were boring after our gig and went to bed like sensible adults, while I thought Nah Fuck It I'm Going to Find a Party, found a party, where people took my cheapass dirty cider off me, gave me some great cider ("You're not drinking that shit: have this"), passed me joints, and gave me a blister pack of major painkillers - and I fuckin' love me some painkillers, and was still with them until easily gone eight in the morning. When I woke up the following day, I had some food and lay down by the side of the stage while listening to acapella sea shanties, because I was tripping balls. I don't know why or how I was hallucinating, but I'm pretty sure the sky wasn't actually sparkling. But my god, that was a very pretty twenty minutes. I'm currently buzzing so hard I actually can't sleep and spent last night half-dead on the sofa because I couldn't work out how to stand up and get to the bedroom.

I got paid for this weekend.

10/10 would recommend to a friend

Catch you all up later on once I remember my name, have something to eat, and double-check that I brought all my limbs back with me.

I'll also be festivalling again this weekend so I'll also be out for the count from tomorrow to Sunday evening/Monday morning.
