YOU MAY RECOGNIZE ME AS KAYTE, THE MIA CHARMER & ADMIN. I would like to be more IA and less M now, so let's get to it! Many, if not most, of us understand the "back in the game anxiety" so I won't go into it at length. Here is how I'm doing my ILLUSTRIOUS RETURN:

• New threads only
  
• Not staffing until June
  
• Marie Kondo-ing my characters
  

Sorry for any inconvenience the above may cause!

On to the roster: I do have some Fresh Meat I want to bring in to Spark Joy, but also my current roster is TERRIFYING so. Her'es how we're going to roll:

STAYING FO SHO

Abraxas Crabbe
Aldous Crouch
Bellona Zabini
Clementine Greengrass
Elijah Urquart
Fitzroy Prewett
Felicity Riley
George Waterford
Hamish Darrow
Idunn Fraser
Lavinia Rose
Louisa Weasley
Lucius Lestrange
Madeline Bell
Wystan Pomfrey

VACATION MODE

Balthazar Urquart
Blythe Fairchild
Constance Neill — sorry to team SCREAM
Gideon Browne
Herbert Fudge
Iphigenia Adebayo
Lucius Lestrange I forgot he has stuff
Persephone Broadmoor
Roslyn Ross
Rufina Mulciber
Tatiana Macnair — who spawned today keep your eyes peeled for the appropriate announcement
The Lost Earl

LIMBO

Baz O’Rourke
Eudora King
Gaius Malfoy
Julius Scrimgeour
Langston Dashwood

I love my limbo crew but they're sort of just...there? I would entertain keeping any of them if there is a specific (low-effort) plot or (low to medium effort) thread that they're either better suited for than anyone else or that truly tickles my fancy.

WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR FROM YOU?
Anything I/my characters should know will be aces. Other than that, plz handle with kid gloves for the first fortnight or so xD

Other than Scamander-adjacent news, Eugene is starting the divorce on the grounds of abandonment from Astrild and will, after the appropriate amount of time, start courting Tilda.

Uhhh other than that, I got nothing.

I'll let you come to me if you want something?

MJ always makes her so pretty

Other than Elladora briefly being even sexier I don't think I have much to report. Let me know if you'd like any new threads, like my learned Bee I shall allow you to set the pace.

MJ: still raising the graphics bar as of 2022

Glad you're back, lovely! Don't think I have any important character news, but am around for threads whenever if there's anything you'd like! <3

look ANOTHER beautiful bee!set <3

About the only information I may have is I took on Malcorvus Flint who used to work with the Department of International Magic Co-operation, thus he would be known to Aldous Crouch (they could even be friends especially if Aldous has purist views.) He retired within the last year or two not long after his wife passed away. He's been a member of the Wizengamot since 1880 and currently teaches a select group of students at the Flint Institute of Advanced Magic. Lucius Lestrange is the same age as Malcorvus so they likely knew each other on some level since they were children. They are both in the Wizengamot as well. Depending on their relationship Malcorvus may have invited Lucius to become a member of the Knights of Walpurgis

Bellona Zabini and Edgar were only a year apart and he was also in Slytherin.

Hamish Darrow likely knows about Terence Higgs, who started teaching Art this current school year. He would haver taught Terence as well and likely found him a strange student and often inattentive student. He would have taught Walter and Edgar (at different times) as well but not sure if anything signifcant would have come out of it.

All your current Hogwarts students would also know Terence as the new Art Teacher and if any are taking art this school year, well, he'll be their teacher of course.

I'm always looking for new threads so if there's any threading you would like to do with my characters, just let me know. We can also just do some brainstorming to flesh out how well Malcorvus knows Lucius and Aldous, if that interests you. I'm typically available between noon and midnight Eastern if you prefer discord (PM for my ID or just inquire in the general chat, I should catch it and send an invite). Otherwise, DM to Walter's account is fine on the forum.

Can we "not and say we did" assume Lucius is trying to arrange a thing for Cash and @"Adrienne Selwyn" for this summer?

Zelda is pregnant.

MJ made this!

Would love to give you things for Dash if we can wrangle up an idea. I'm pretty scarce in general but when I am here, I'm generally posting Oz.

Ford/Clem maybe, re: graduation and debutante things? Could be letters if that's better!

MJ made this <3

Welcome back!!!

- I've nothing for Gaius right now but this time next year Serp will be getting ready for Hogwarts and will spend this upcoming 14 months #notshuttingup about the whole thing and will want her supplies/wand as soon as possible. She's also very committed to finding a way to have snakes added to the Hogwarts pet list with or without dad's permission.

- Other than that, maybe one day we can see how Idunn and Calla get along being they are cousins (a fact i have oopsed on till now sorry)!

- More general but Tavie is available as friend material (or notably not friends?) or hurling for the society types!

Thread Log

As of February 14th, 1892, Roman has been courting @"Benevolence Montague". I think that's the only Important Thing that your characters would be aware of when it comes to mine.

If you're game, I'd love to continue on with this thread. It can be as low effort as you please!
