Did You Know?
One of the cheapest homeless shelters in Victorian London charged four pennies to sleep in a coffin. Which was... still better than sleeping upright against a rope? — Jordan / Lynn
If he was being completely honest, the situation didn't look good, but Sylvano was not in the habit of being completely honest about anything. No reason to start now.

The Room Where It Happens [Lynn's Plots]

about my networking...
My name is Lynn, I use she/her pronouns, I live in Pacific Time Zone.

I prefer to have fast-moving threads with posts of any length that feels appropriate (no need to match wordcount!). If a thread "dies," I generally prefer not to revive it unless it is plot essential. I love drama in my plots and am fairly comfortable with most topics and subjects as long as they are handled appropriately. Strong language, violence, and sex are all okay when the thread calls for it, but I don't usually thread any of the above just for their own sake. I have killed/injured tons of characters in the past and am willing to do so in the future if it's properly built up in narrative, but it has to be discussed offscreen first.

I'm pretty trash at networking so if you want something, please just keep poking me until it happens. I'm much better at high-drama plotting so also send those my way. xD

Best Contact: Discord, replies here or tags anywhere, PMs.
When starting threads please tag: Account in question (and Fortitude Greengrass if you feel like it but that's optional); alternatively, just use the discord channel. I highkey love getting tags in the discord channel because I work from home so I can usually go read things right away even if I can't reply <3
   
 
         
 
Oz

Ozymandias Dempsey
38 | 8★ | UCHB | Married
Minister for Magic

The son and heir of two romantic poets, Oz lived most of his adult life as a rake until he decided, for reasons unclear to everyone, to marry a woman he apparently despises. He lived in Ireland with the entirety of his extensive and eccentric family and occasionally invented things up until he decided to run for Minister and (get this!) won.

Don Juan

Don Juan Dempsey
31 | 5★ | UCHB | Unattached
Infamous Disaster

Don Juan is known as a drunk and a rake and would be far more excluded from society than he presently is except that his brother is Minister of Magic. He once infamously carried on an affair with a married woman and then got her husband arrested when the husband challenged him to a duel.

Ezra

Ezra Applegate
33 | 9★ | MCPB | Unattached
Unspeakable

Ezra has a reputation for moodiness and his family is known to be all different variations of "odd" - unbeknownst to most, this is due to a blood curse on the Applegate line. Ezra is technically available (though never really moved on from his former fiancee, Rosalie Hunniford, after she broke their engagement) and works as an Unspeakable.

Ford

Fortitude Greengrass
28 | 7★ | MCPB | Married
Spirit Division

Spirit Division employee who spends most of his free time fretting about his family's impending ruin (financial, social, emotional, take your pick depending on the day). Also, pining for his ex-boyfriend and feeling guilty about it.

Grimshawe

Diligent Grimshawe
35 | 3★ | WCHB | Complicated
Cursemaker & Card Dealer

A man of many names and few scruples, Diligent tends bar at the Jinxed Jackrabbit in Knockturn Alley and works card tables anywhere they'll have him. Unbeknownst to most, he also deals in curses for a pittance. He has a live-in ... girlfriend? and can generally be found in shadier scenes.

Magnolia

Magnolia Addams
21 | 6★ | WCHB | Unattached
Herbalist

Magnolia keeps to herself and collects herbs in the surrounds of London. She's entirely unassuming, but does look suspiciously like Zelda Darrow — and her past is one big question mark waiting to be uncovered. You won't see her around full moons.


↓ the back burner ↓
These characters are inactive or minimally active but their muses are still around! I am happy to discuss relationships between them and other existing characters, answer questions about what they would or wouldn't do IC, or even revive inactive ones for interactions/plot needs as necessary. Just shout if you need them!
Juliana Ainsworth | Reuben Crouch | J. Alfred Darrow | Emrys Selwyn | Ife Gbadamosi | Imperatrix Lestrange | Victor Daphnel | Edward Flourish | Gideon Ollivander | Tiberius Lestrange | Domitian Zabini  | Thom Pettigrew | Dorothea Twycross | Bellamy Echelon | Drusilla Pettigrew | Calvin Paxton

There will also be sailboat tours of the race course, which goes out over the water and along the coast.

Seeking 1-2 threads at this event featuring grumpy Alfred. Either he is grumpy because his resort is all crowded with people who don't actually care about sailing or he is grumpy because he and his wife have been fighting for literal months. Or possibly both!

I could start them as opens but figured I'd dangle the premise here first in case there are juicier things to be had that I can tailor to <3



MJ made the most Alfredy of sets and then two years later she made it EVEN BETTER
#5
Heavily considering Juliana Ainsworth or Magnolia Addams returning for werewolf shenanigans. Types of shenanigans they might be good for: fighting with anti-werewolf demonstrators, getting tense and on edge around people after mild comments, having stress attacks at people, maybe letting slip some secrets.

If you can provide shenanigans or have a strong preference of which one comes back shout at me <3

In related/unrelated news Ford is too distracted with baby to have a loud opinion but I would enjoy someone poking him enough for him to say something regrettable.

It's Magnolia~ I am seeking threads for her in the following categories:

2 (more) werewolf threads- you are a person with something to say (pos or neg) about werewolves and we're going to find a premise where it comes up

2 "she's got Zelda's face" threads- you are a person who would recognize/ regularly interacts with Zelda Darrow. Magnolia is going to try to steal another of Zelda's hairbrushes sometime soon (possibly using crowd of the hippogriff races for cover?) so one could be during hairbrush heist.

2 friend/hurling threads- you are *not* someone who recognizes Zelda (or at least not right away, if this is a newly developing thing). I'm happy to handwave/pretend they have had interactions over the past few years while she's been in London. Basically this is the "give her a reason not to pick a new face and start over if above threads go south" category.

I am happy to start when I'm back home in a bit!

Hello, can I have your NPC?

Need a name for someone to take advantage of the recent news to get a book published with crackpot werewolf conspiracy theories. I could just make one up but it feels way more fun if they have some connection to real characters. The person in question should either be anti-werewolf, or ambivalent and opportunitic enough to skew anti-werewolf for a quick buck. (YOUR character need not be; this could be your bigoted uncle Jerry whom you have always thought smelled weird!)

Could be someone with an ad or just a referenced character from your family/ history, I'm not picky. If they have an ad you should be open to including this development in their ad if it gets enough IC traction. (Maybe it'll make them more interesting and someone will adopt them sooner!)

Should be an adult, human, magical character most likely unless you can make a really compelling case otherwise.

John Operine is a jack ass with an opinion.

Edgar Rey is a hint less likely, at least to rush a novel. But a novel by him would be more well thought out.

That sounds excellent! I can start it when I get back from holiday, or if you would like to make one (anywhere in London) feel free!


Tentative to-do list post vacay:
DJ/Holly
Magnolia/Effie
Oz/generic family open
Alfred open during hippogriffs
DJ/Kaat at hippogriffs
Magnolia open

Still looking for more things! Magnolia and Ezra need things especially (also both can have hurling)!

Beans pointed out that I have both Noah and Gemma who would be Confused by a different Zelda if either interests!

Magnolia - 1 active thread
Dil - 6 active threads
Alfred - 1 active thread

how many threads did I say I was going to start? nobody knows. certainly not me. (If I recently told you I would put something "on my list" you have been deceived for there is no list, I'm sorry)

watch this space I'm going to try and do some damage on owed posts and then will come back here with thoughts about whether I want new things or want to burn everything down : )
