OOC: Calvinball Signups!

Okay, at long last, Calvin-mun brings you: Calvinball! The Open RP!
*cough*
Well, she will in a day or so, anyway. Here's the thing: playing Calvinball? Is almost entirely about making up the rules as you go along. But it's that "almost entirely" that's been stumping me for a while, since there are common elements (the flags, the masks, the croquet mallets, the Calvinball) in all the games shown. I didn't want to just say, "Okay, kids, go to it!" especially since plenty of the chars who'd be great players would really need more explanation than that. Which, of course, Calvin isn't good at doing coherently.
Therefore, at long last, Calvin-mun brings you: Introduction to Calvinball!
( Other kid's games are all such a bore! They've gotta have rules and they've gotta keep score! Calvinball is better by far! It's never the same! It's always bizarre! You don't need a team or a referee! You know that it's great, 'cause it's named after me! If you wanna...! Um...feel free to harmonize with Hobbes on the 'rumma tum tums'... )

Gert: Evening, cats and kittens. Gert & Chase on the wire at WART, bringing yet another unusual cross-sampling of music. That's one way of putting it, anyway.
Chase: So tonight, we're only playing songs that don't suck.
Gert: Which means you'll be getting a lot of talking. What were you people thinking? Anyway, first up is our opener, from the smart-assed boy in the dog house. He doesn't deserve any of the slack I'm giving him.
Chase: I deserve at least half the slack you're giving me.
Gert: Uh-huh. You keep telling yourself that, see how much more trouble it gets you into.
Chase: Anyway, this is Tripping Daisy - I Got a Girl. (Lyric)
( WART 15, with Gert Yorkes and Chase Stein, rockin' y'all out. )

Open rp to anyone in Ravenclaw
Magic really was amazing. Lucas wasn't so much impressed that the owl had carried his message, but that it had delivered it to someone in the year 2021. Even more incredible still, the owl had returned with a message and a small black box. Lucas set the box on a table in the Ravenclaw common room as he read the message from his friend, Lieutenant Krieg.
( Dear Lucas, )
Lucas stared at the box. A vague feeling of dread rose up inside him when he contemplated what might be inside of it.

Wiki time!
May. 11th, 2006 11:19 pm![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
So, a wiki has been in the works from a while. What I need right now is input from the players! Please write a short biography on your characters that include information about their canon and any important events from their time at Hogwarts. Please save these for when the wiki goes live. You can also post them here for other people to see!
