Application: Ssillissa, Larklight

The door opened, and Ssillissa slipped into the sorting room. She glanced around, not recognizing her surroundings, and shrugged. Although Larklight no longer had its original alien gravity generators, it was still a large, strange house. She must have gotten turned around somewhere, she decided, and opened the door to get back to some part of the house she recognized.

A hallway, very different from the one she’d just left and far to long to be in Larklight, stretched off to either side. Ssil stepped carefully back away from the door, a shiver running all the way down her spine to the club at the end of her tail. Something very strange was going on. She carefully examined the room, looking for some clue as to what had happened. The sunlight at the window suggested that she was on a planet, which just made the situation weirder. Last she’d checked, she’d been orbiting Earth somewhere beyond the moon.

Besides going out into that unfamiliar hallway, which, for some reason, she was really not ready to do, the only remotely productive thing to do seemed to be to fill out the application.

Application: Mariella, Kate Nash's song 'Mariella'

Mariella knows about Hogwarts. She won't say anything to anyone to indicate this. Don't worry :)

The blonde-ringletted girl does not look as though she should be wearing all black. She looks rather...dare I say...preppy.

Except Mariella got some pritt stick and she glued her lips together; she doesn't talk. She's an elective mute. (She heard someone say once 'that means she could talk if she likes but she doesn't want to.' Mariella likes this assessment.) And she's had enough of her mother's begging to try and fit in.

So Hogwarts would probably welcome her. As she walks into the Sorting room, she's beaming. Oh yes, this is the Hogwarts she read about in books and fanfics. Too bad she won't feel like telling anybody.

( Mariella, Mariella, my pretty, baby girl, unglue your lips from being together and wear some pink and pearls )

::Open RP: The Unpopping of Lady Door::

She woke to the smell of some vaguely rancid chemical flavoring, and the textures of grit and grease.

Door looked down at her ruined dress, and wondered just where she was, and how long she'd been there. She remembered being acting prefect for Hufflepuff, but it got a bit hazy after that. There were... were those oversized popcorn kernels surrounding her? That seemed vaguely familiar as well. Distressed, she fled the room.

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

Masquerade post.

The Great Hall has been decorated appropriately for the Masquerade, many Transfiguration spells cast and the House Elves all on the highest of alerts, currently attired in toga-like napkins. The floor has been changed to white marble, with small green tables of food and drink lining the sides of the walls, interposed with benches and seats for those who'd rather talk than dance.

The majority of the hall is cleared for dancing, with a throne-table at the far end for Fillerbunny to sit and greet his guests, and a small stage on the left side for those who'd like to demonstrate their karaoke skills. On the right side, there's a DJ stand in place of live music.

Behind the throne, a red velvet curtain conceals a balcony that overlooks the garden, quiet and secluded for those who'd rather not leave the party entirely but would like some respite from the noise. The curtain is enchanted to deaden sound, so that nobody from inside the party can eavesdrop on the people on the balcony.

The decorations are in pale green, soft yellow, white, rose pink, and the trimming are in the four House colors.

((Comments are disabled, so make the threads as long as you like, or hop on to MSN/AIM and continue logs there if you like and post them afterwards. Party lasts until about 7AM, gametime, and runs for as long as needed IRL. Karaoke goes the same as usual: Post your char going up to sing, along with a yousendit link to the song in question.

Edit: Feel free to post any dolls of your char that you've made!))

A flock of owls.

((Okay, the Ryuuji-Nightwing thread isn't finished, but I had some people ask me about owls, so I'm having Ryuuji be back in school even though I'm not sure what exactly went down in Paris. ^^;; Just don't ask for details and it should be okay? XD))

The first owl is sent to everyone that got a postcard from Ryuuji (that's Bertie, Chii, Cthulhu, Edgar, Fillerbunny, Maturin, Mokuba, Oz, River, Sara, Shizuka, Tim, Victor, Seto, Nny, Teatime, Luna, Kira, Crowley, Aziraphale, Alucard, and Adam) during the trip to France (and hence a wedding invite), and reads as follows:

( First Owl. )

After that, Ryuuji sent out a bunch of smaller, scribbled notes.

( Owl to Kira. )

( Alucard. )

( Owl to Bertie. )

( Owl to Adam. )

( Owl to River & Stephen. )

( Owl to Nny & Teatime. )

Closed RP: Susan Sto Helit and Lady Door

( The boggart had been an interesting surprise )

Door,

Guess what -- I caught a boggart. It was in some room down in the basement. Ridiculous little beast. Anyway, this is a perfect opportunity for the practice of which we spoke, so let me know where and when would be convenient for you.

Solve et Coagula II: owls and RP (Ravenclaw common room, and anyone likely to knock on its door)

Identical owls from Dr Stephen Maturin to the Lady Door, Miss Susan Sto Helit, and Miss Ivanova:

( To avoid overtaxing the owls )

Having written and dispatched the messages, Stephen sank into an overstuffed armchair in the Ravenclaw common room, with some reading on Transfiguration. ( Read more... ) As he read and mused, he listened for a knock. He would open the door if anyone happened by.

Owls to everyone in his group + open RP.

( Same owl sent to Ran, Hawkeye, Door, Caesar, Susan. )

True to his word, Ryuuji had seated himself near the back of the library, at a table near a window. A few books were spread out in front of him, open to pages of illustrations and the boy was listing off possible plants on a piece of paper. An annotated copy of the riddle was on his left side, certain words scribbled over in red and others highlighted. Italian plants were his best bet, so he was currently going through them by region.

Solve et Coagula. (open RP)

Stephen has retreated to the beneficent peace of the library. As well-traveled as he is, there are magical plants of which he has never heard, and he needs to get more information on wizarding-style herbology if he's going to pass muster in the upcoming class. Concentrating fiercely, he is startled by the arrival of an owl which drops a parcel unceremoniously on the wooden library table before him.

Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, it reads.

Since arriving at Hogwarts, he has tried to use wizarding suppliers for his special needs whenever possible. These alchemists seemed a good prospect, so he had placed an order with them for embalming fluid and laudanum. The parcel seems a bit small; curiously he unwraps it, trying not to rustle the packaging material too much.

Nestled inside are tiny bottles marked "Embalming Fluid" and "Laudanum." He is confused and a bit irritated. Surely each could only hold 10 cc of liquid, 11 cc at most. He opens Embalming Fluid and takes a cautious sniff.

It smells like tea and lemons.

Very strongly so. The smell of the so-called embalming fluid wafts through the library. Other students busily working can probably catch it on the air.

There is more in the package: a small postcard with lurid imagery from the paintings of Bosch, and four small vials with plain white labels. Bastet. Bon Vivant. Dorian. Harlot.

Harlot?!

Open RP.

( ...Ineedtobejailed. )

Conjuring the karaoke machine to float into the Great Hall, noticing vaguely that it looked somewhat different than usual, Ryuuji clapped his hands for attention, then called out as blithely as he could, "Listen up, everyone! Let's put on an impromptu show so we'll have something to do besides mope around and wonder what happened yesterday. Pick a song, any song, then come up here and perform as many times you like."

To break the ice, he started off with Walk Away by Flogging Molly - nothing like a cheerful Irish song about being dead to brighten your mood - then bowed and left the stage for the next performer. I wonder if there's any way to make Anne ditch me?

((For all the people that weren't here for the original karaoke RP, you just upload the song to yousendit then post the link in your comment along with a little RP blurb about your char performing, if you like.))

Smitten Like Whoa

Devi stood excitedly at the school doors, ignoring the brisk air as she twirled around in her long, tight black coat. It swept the bottoms of her favorite, buckled platform boots as she came to a stop, inhaling deeply to get a smell of the air as she glanced down to check herself over. She'd gone with a semi-mini plaid skirt and fishnets, not to mention a corsetted top in attempts to show that she had somewhat of a figure. She hoped she didn't seem too forward as she paced, nervously chewing her nails and checking the door every split second for sign of her Lady Door.

FOR HUFFLEPUFFS ONLY

::Posted in the Hufflepuff Common Room::

(Kaylee, I hope this is all right with you?)

As we've seen, we've had a huge influx of students lately. This is great! But I'm sure most of us haven't had a chance to meet our new friends.

Hufflepuffs, a mixer is in order!

The last was a Gryffindor-Slytherin joint venture. We can't let them top us for hospitality, can we? So let's have some ideas. I think the karaoke was fun, and I'm sure people will want drinks and snacks. What do all of you think?

Entry tags:

Yay Hufflepuffs!

It seems we have a full Quidditch team! If you still want to play, please say so, it would be wonderful to have alternates.

The list, as I have it:

teatimeassasin - Seeker

kayewinnet - Chaser

avatar_aang - Chaser

sada_chan - Chaser

wooster_code - Beater

franciscrawford - Beater

the_lady_door - Keeper

Did I miss anyone?

I suppose the next step is to vote for a team captain.

Entry tags:

KARAOKE!

((Sorry about the delay but it took me a while to decide how to play this. If you think it's unrealistic for your character to have been drunk enough/influenced by Ryuuji, you don't have to play along. Otherwise, pick any song you think your char would have sung, upload it to yousendit, then comment with a link. Easy way to share musical tastes! And if your char was drunk enough, pick a song they'd never normally sing and upload that. XD))

Over the course of the evening, everyone had been roped into trying out the karaoke machine at one point or another. Or trying it out several times, since Ryuuji hadn't been quite sure if he'd caught everyone and had compensated for that by pushing anyone he caught onto the stage and insisting that they serenade the pub.

For himself, he'd ended up performing once to break the ice, once for the hell of it and once near the end of the evening to prove he was still sober. And the fact that he thought that would prove he was sober probably testified to the fact that he was more than a little intoxicated by that point.

Songs were:

Every Me and Every You - Placebo.

The Calender Hung Itself - Bright Eyes.

Irresponsible - Voltaire.

Current Mood: hopeful

To all the Hufflepuffs - The Quidditch team needs you!

kayewinnet,

goddess_bell, I do hope you don't see this as trying to step on your toes. I don't mean it that way!

But housemates, we need players for our Quidditch team!

As best as I can tell, our current roster is

the_lady_door - Keeper

kayewinnet - Chaser

avatar_aang - Chaser

teatimeassasin - Seeker

wooster_code - Beater

franciscrawford - Beater

Am I missing anyone? Please let me know if I am.

UPDATED! As of now we're just need of another Chaser and we'll have a full team. But if anyone else wants to play, we can always use alternates! It's time to support your house, Hufflepuffs! I know we can have a great team, and just to encourage you, there will be a welcoming gift for everyone who signs up.

neil_pye seems to be interested in getting a cheerleading squad together, so if that interests you, contact him.
