Centaurs Vs. Broomsports - Reuben Crouch - July 11, 2021

THE PLOT: After a Quidditch player (accidentally?) insults the honor of a centaur mother and child while practicing, the centaurs decide wizardkind is getting a little too damn cocky and superior ('they think a game is more important than a centaur child?!') and maybe they could use someone stepping in to knock them down a peg. This begins with Quidditch but might expand out to interruptions of other wizard sports if the opportunity arises. Chaos ensues until the Ministry can placate them.

This is a short term plot with broad reach — jump in to play a centaur, get your Quidditch players and Ministry workers involved in shenanigans, or throw anyone into some chaos threads to shake up their summer. OOC we're looking to wrap this up in late August or early September. Just a fun summer fling.

THE CHARACTERS: CENTAURS.

I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THE PLOT, I JUST WANT A FUN THREAD: Cool. Stay tuned. There will be open threads, group threads, lots of opportunities. If you want anything super specific to happen (ie 'Can Sally get trampled and lose her left leg?') then lmk and we'll see if we can find a space for it.

A note: this is just the bones of a plot right now but I'm very interested in other ideas and contributions! Have a nonhuman who wants to ally with one side or another? Humans who seize this opportunity to try and take away centaur protections at the Ministry? Throw your ideas at me and I promise to love them <3

Omg I love this idea. I would genuinely love to play a centaur in this. Maybe a rouser or diplomat?

I would cheerfully bring back Aeror back in his role as vaguely threatening centaur male.

I've had a bitchy centaur muse in the back of my mind with Lena Headey as the playby (circa 300). If you'll have me, I'd be down for the Madonna.


RE: Centaurs Vs. Broomsports - Reuben Crouch - July 11, 2021

Yes, my lovely centaur friends, I adore you all <3

Now we need some humans to mess with Wink

You can have Fallon any ministry needs if the issues escalated to the auror's office.


RE: Centaurs Vs. Broomsports - Holly Scrimgeour - July 12, 2021

Raphael Malfoy will be there in support of the quidditch league because obviously he sponsors a team, but also because he's an asshole who probably hates centaurs.

Delight Urquart is available to help with any chaos caused. You can also have Freddie Prewett, but he's probably better as comedic device rather than actual help.

Bella Scrimgeour will probably not be allowed to talk to the centaurs, but she will definitely try to.


RE: Centaurs Vs. Broomsports - Cassius Lestrange - July 12, 2021

you may have my quidditch players as needed

If this reaches the point of Ross needing to think about it he may actually kill Fitz


RE: Centaurs Vs. Broomsports - Sweetie Whitledge - July 12, 2021

Count on Charles Marshall if you need a lawyer at some point.


RE: Centaurs Vs. Broomsports - Dubhacha - July 12, 2021

Rabble rouser reporting in!

Mikail Karim could serve as an idiot ambassador. There is a 100% chance he would make matters worse and wonder why talking horses are interfering with his team.


RE: Centaurs Vs. Broomsports - Elias Grimstone - July 13, 2021

I have quidditchy connections w/ the Harpies, Magpies and Cannons, happy for any of those teams to be victims of sabotage xD

(Unrelated to the quidditch plot, but a general note of "likely to thread with centaurs" if anyone wants side-things: Ishmael for vampire vs. centaur forest neighbour pettiness; Savino Zabini for "ooh hey please tell me about centaur divination")

Once we're no longer at war Caiaphas would love to tell Savino crazy made-up divination shit just to see what happens. >D

A TIMELINE!

July 22 | Inciting incident: during a Hogsmeade Howler practice the quaffle somehow gets off the pitch and into the nearby woods where a centaur child picks it up to play with it. Mikail Karim manages to insult the centaur child and its mother Iolanthe. There will be a thread here sooner or later and it's open to cameos from Howlers players (fyi Arthur Pettigrew Mundungus MacFusty)

July 24 | Cai & Roisin are going to sabotage the Howler's locker room in the morning; affects the game that afternoon/evening. This probably mostly involves breaking things that are stored there.

July 28 - August 13 | Continuing sabotage of other Quidditch teams (if you're closer to Scotland you're earlier in this window, South England teams later in the window. If you're geographically located on Ireland we probably don't care enough to get there).
->> sometime in this window I would enjoy Ministry of Magic involvement (to discuss what's going on, try to stop it, etc).
->> I would also really enjoy a Muggle-area centaur sighting since they're traveling much farther than usual to wreak havoc
->> I'm open to threads with Quidditch players were Cai gets caught in your locker room <3


14 August | Escalates to the first (only?) time that centaurs interrupt a match. Did Appleby just score? Nope, that's a whole line of centaur archers! I'll start an open group thread at this event but also feel free to start your own threads avoiding arrows in the stands or whatever <3 (Quidditch players, do you want this to be your match? please let me know!)

The rest, TBD | Continuing escalation/eventual resolution TBD!

Chance that Anne Moony doesn't try and hang out on the edge of the forest to meet a centaur? Slim to none.
