owl to Claire Tourneur

[mid-west-egg.livejournal.com]

Nick Carraway didn't know many people at Hogwarts. He had always been a fairly self-contained fellow, and quite happy to read and dine and study on his own. He also had a friend, of sorts, already at Hogwarts: Mr. Jay Gatsby.

That friendship wasn't much use when the problem currently troubling him involved Gatsby directly.

He didn't really need a sympathetic ear, to be honest. It would be more human and respectable to need one, but he didn't. What he wanted was a sounding board, and even a diary from Flourish and Blotts couldn't speak back to him when he asked questions of the empty air. And he did have one new friend, of sorts, even if he didn't know what to make of her most of the time, and even if she did occasionally remind him of Jordan Baker.

Therefore, it was to Claire Tourneur he turned when the drama of his pre-Hogwarts life finally caught up with him.

Dear Claire,

I feel I've neglected you lately, and I'm sorry for that. Would you care to meet me in the Hufflepuff common room for a drink? I'll be in the corner that still looks like what I might call a common room, not the "food libraries" part. I could use some company.

Yours truly,
Nick Carraway

Sharing the Wealth

Laura,

I got a pen for a bribe. You can have it. Since the end of July is coming up, should I be shaking down applicants for anything in particular?

Alan

Application: Vanyel Ashkevron

[vanyel-peacock.livejournal.com]

Character: Vanyel Ashkevron from Mercedes Lackey's Valdemar books. The character is being apped immediately after attempting suicide following the suicide of his lover, Tylendel. Rather than being Chosen, as he was in the books, he insetad woke from his suicide attempt to find himself here.



Vanyel was slumped in the corner, the fresh slices in his arms having just stopped bleeding. He was rather a mess, although to those with a good eye, it was rather obvious that he’d started the evening looking rather fashionable. His eyes opened, and he sat rather stiffly in the corner, looking at the room with an air of confusion, before a cold look settled over his features.. ( Allow me to elucidate. )
