You Get a Letter! And You Get a Letter!

So that it's easily taken care of and put into play after decisions are made elsewhere, reply here and we'll know who's paired with who for receiving an Amortentia letter! You can also advertise here too!

I have Abigail Langley in Irvingly. She's a 21 year old deb and would be brazen enough to ask for kisses if potions were involved.

I also have Eleanor Rigby at Hogwarts. She's 28 and a widow. She's less inclined to ask for kisses, but she wouldn't mind if he made the first move. She lives in North Bartonburg in the evenings with her two kids so anything could happen!

I have a couple of options (all of whom have been mentioned in Witch Weekly in the past nine months or less). Ladies first (of course, where would my manners be if the gentleman proceeded them?):

Miss @"Caroline Delaney" is a wealthy debutante from Boston, Massachusetts, her family owns and operates a large and well known shipping business. She is 19 MCHB, currently residing in London. She has been mentioned briefly for fashion in Witch Weekly and was at the Aphrodite Soriee.

Miss @"Lucille Flint" is my girl full of day dreams. She's the heiress to her father's estate and UCPB, aged 19. She has been mentioned in Witch Weekly and is every social event she can be at. She is also the cousin to the notorious Bella Scrimgeour.

Then I have my lovely @"Nimiane Bellchant" born to an UCPB family but a squib. She has declared herself a spinster and retired from society. She was engaged at the age of 18 but the scandal broke of her being a squib and ruined that, she's had no prospects since. She is, unbeknownst to all, the author Isolde Bennet and lives in a cottage in Irvingly. (And really needs plots)

As for the gentlemen:

Mr. Rufus Bixby has been mentioned in Witch Weekly several times in the past nine months for his apperances with Rival quidditch player Magnus Lockhart's sister @"Fortuna Lockhart". He is a chaser for Puddlemere United and from a quidditch family (his father also played). He is 24 and MCHB.

Mr. @"Percival Adlard Jr." was recently (two weeks ago) mentioned on the front page of Witch Weekly as an eligible bachelor. He was the one who lured the troll to its doom in Fogsmeade this summer and earned himself a lame leg and a cane. He was recently promoted to Beast Division Head and his matchmaking sister Felicity Adlard convinced him to attend the Aphrodite Soriee. He is 31 and MCHB.

Jack is starting his baby leave tomorrow so I *should* be good for one or two things? Plot with me at your own risk, bby takes a lot of time xD

Willing to offer:
Ophelia Devine ; married but very prominent in WW/society. The most amusing case would probably be if her husband got a letter and she had to deal with fallout (she's HB and he's PB so maybe a motive there?) if Kit would be onboard.
Reuben Crouch can come back if someone wants him. MCPB and promiscuous, with a rakish reputation. Any women involved would almost certainly face a rep ding or at least rumors.
Ernest Mulciber probably wouldn't be a target but might touch a letter intended for someone else by accident.
J. Alfred Darrow has been in WW recently but not in any kind of good light so... could be a target but would probably have to have a partner who was "odd" or otherwise outside of society's norms.
Lupus Jameshill is WCHB but was recently featured as a fog expedition hero under the name Charlie Williams, and is #mysterious from WW's perspective, so a potential target.

Hit me on Skype if you have an idea!

Yell at me here or on skype if you have need of me xD

My highest priorities are:
— This is an excellent opportunity to force Tybalt Kirke into an accidental rebound. Probably MC. Hit me.

— Hahaha Lorcan Byrne was just sorting himself out but... Bonus points if the lady in question is hella single so he can question his choices after. He is always horny on main, fair warning.

— @"Calliope Riley", I would especially enjoy this if the man in question was someone she would ordinarily despise. So: MC or poor/stupid/a boring good guy with Reasonable Morals etc. Bonus points if they're a cripple. ALTERNATE OPTION: the total opposite of that, A Real Catch, someone she might consider continuing to dose up when the love potion wears off.

Other WW-mentioned people that might be fun, holler if they suit your needs:
Porphyria Dempsey. That should come with a blanket warning.
Elias Grimstone could always use more awkward in his life.
Ari Fisk, Carmelina Cramming and Jude Wright? They're all gay so I'm down for the lols, but they probably wouldn't make any moves except feel horribly awkward forever afterwards.

Uhhh... I don't even know where to start. I've had lots of WW mentions.

Clinton Podmore would be a top priority cause I got nothing going for him really.

@"Fortuna Lockhart" could always use a shake up. She's getting too happy and settled on her happy ending.

Magdalena Byrne was just getting her stuff with Lorcan figured out but like MJ said...hahaha.

Fletcher Langley and Eavan are getting too easy/happy, too.

Louisa Lupin could be another top priority. She needs things and she's been getting a wild hair for adventure so this could be interesting.

Una Walsh needs things, too. Maybe she can be proven to be some promiscuous American disaster after all? (She was on the front page once even.)

Felicity Adlard just lost her fiance and it was mentioned in the DP.

David Pettigrew Brendan Jennings Gideon Ollivander all have vague mentions I believe thanks to the Aphrodite Soiree and could be up for grabs.

EDIT: Catch me on Skype if you'd like anything in specific.

I have Thaddeus Davies, a MCHB widower in Hogsmeade who has been rather reclusive in society during the mourning period for his late wife, but who is due for getting back in the society game. He's more the tortured Romantic type when it comes to love: lots of brooding and passionate letters, and maybe kissing because the feels are too intense to be contained. I'm jonesing for all the potentially awkward/amusing threads! If you're interested, hit me up via PM or Discord (jackieinthebox).

I offer pretty much anyone on my roster because I am HERE for this. But especially:
GENTS
Roberto Devine - Lynn's on the same wavelength as me >D Married but like Lynn said very prominent. I'm thinking he gets a letter "from" a pureblood woman. Bonus points if she had a slightly more than passing interest in Quidditch.

Richard Gladstone - Team Likely To Suggest Elopement

Jack Humphrey-Mavis - he needs things and loves kissing girls so Wink

Esteban Zavala is working class but has had many mentions in both DP and WW.
LADIES
Clarissa Cosgrove, @"Hope Crawford" , PLEASE MAKE Loretta Browne EVEN MORE AWKWARD.

I've decided Ursula Black is taking part and there's a very high chance of a one way ticket to Boneville and getting the opportunity to flip a coin to father Cygnus. Purebloods strongly preferred because even a love potion can't completely override the fact that ONLY THE PUREST MAY ENTER HER LADYGARDEN she's a bigot.

kay I deleted my other post because I wasn't explaining my thought process very well, it's literally been like a 13 hour day my brain is fried.

Is this "matchmaker" doing their OWN matches based on people who have been mentioned in WW/DP (like Syd with a woman they think would work for him) OR is it based on pairs who have been mentioned in conjunction previously (so like Febric would be "paired") or maybe both of those are options? Neither? I'm kind of confused. I can read the event info both ways, sorry guys just need some clarification before I can commit to anything. It doesn't matter either way and I suppose, more just for my own brain/ I can figure out who I'm willing to sacrifice to the amortentia gods.

I have a handful of characters who have been mentioned in Witch Weekly and The Daily Prophet over the years:
    Bella Scrimgeour is WCPB whose negative reputation mostly (apart from her disownment and father's arrest, which you could argue was a result of this ...) comes from her notoriety in Witch Weekly. She's been attached to Reuben Crouch and Richard Gladstone in the magazines/rumor mills at points in the past.

    Edward Macmillan was mentioned in Witch Weekly recently.

    Finnian Byrne was, too.

    Handsome Whitledge is eighteen and has been accused of rakish behavior in Witch Weekly. He's unlikely to be matched with the purpose of marriage, but rather with a "awww-here's-your-true-love" sort of ~thing.

    @"Helga Scamander" has been mentioned multiple times in Witch Weekly re: ~love stuff~.

    Mathias Beaumont could be matched with someone! Apart from old, potentially retconned stints in Witch Weekly, he was also at the Aphrodite Soiree and was seated at Inès Valentine's table.

    Edric Umbridge is being paired with Febby, so fight me.

Clarification: Secret Cupid has been pouring over the pages of publications as though they were water in the desert, and as such, believes they ~know the people featured therein. They also have a keen ear for society gossip. As such, they largely do their own thing and may or may not agree with previously established "should-be couples".

Get creative with the reasoning behind your self-selected matches! Olive mentioned star signs yesterday which could be a fun place to start if you're not sure Smile

I have Audrey Balthrop - MCPB debutante who's a new character but has been a fixture in society stuff since her coming out ball. She's increasingly desperate re: finding a husband so this could be really fun

Jacob Babineaux has been in WW and the DP on account of being the seeker for Puddlemere a bunch and ALSO for his absolutely tragic social life. He has experience with being in Fake Enchantment Love before so let's do it again! He's UCPB.

Souri Corcoran writes for the DP? idk I'm sure I can figure out some way to justify her getting a letter lmao.

PM me, poke me on skype or flag me down in some way if you've any interest in my people.
