Hi, would you like to be in a DP article?

Seeking: law enforcement people to make comments/statements for an article on Feb 11th, and;

Friends/family members/etc of one or more of the disappeared to give statements about the impact these events have had on their lives, for an article Feb 16th or so.

Also: no disappearances after Feb 19th. I edited this into the original post but just to cover my bases I'll put it here too Smile

Not sure if you're still seeking but if you are I happily volunteer Ida Chang's NPC father as tribute just on the basis of the ~*~drama~*~ it'd cause for Ida! xD Even better if her dad comes back in one piece and she has to admit she missed him.

Mister Chang was last seen the morning of Feb 9 (date can flex) at Hogsmeade Station, making his way to visit a client and deliver a special order. He did not make this appointment. Ida's big brother is abroad, her baby brother's governess was the one who informed Ida the next day that her dad had not returned for dinner. Ida reported this to authorities the following day. Mister Chang is known to travel with a bit of money on his person during business dealings, so she fears more of the mugging/murder angle.


Edit Feb 9: Hi hi! I think Ida might have too much going on for me to thoughtfully engage here Sad I might need to pull this disappearance out, if that's okay? Please lemme know if there's any issue with this and sorry for the shuffle <3 Reuben Crouch

If Charles Marshall was asked to make comment on Naeva's disappearance, please have it noted that he refused to make a comment regarding the matter. Other than that, he was 'unavailable for comment'.

HELLO, it is time for PHASE THREE.

I need one volunteer from among the missing to be the first one who returns. No requirements here except "is missing." If you're up for threadding something in a google doc and then posting it all at once the day it happens we can do that. Either way you get read in on the rest of the plot reveals and get to make some decisions / statements for the DP.

Everyone else gets to choose their own return date, this volunteer returns on Feb 20th.

PSA that I'm getting antsy and might roll the dates up on this slightly... again

Currently our last disappearance is Feb 17th, does anyone have strong feelings about going missing Feb 18th/19th?

Although it hasn't been "revealed" yet I'm sure you all can piece together where things are going based on the DP article today, so here's the OOC reveal. :P

The Timeline of Events
- Mortimer Lansing (NPC) got the bright idea that he ought to make his fortune running a traveling menagerie/circus, but hey, exotic animals are really difficult (and expensive) to acquire. Women wandering the streets of Hogsmeade are comparably less difficult and expensive. Bonus: maybe they'll be smarter than animals and willing to learn some cool circus tricks?
- This month he's been abducting people and transfiguring them into exotic animals (magical or non) to flesh out his collection. They've been living in a Newt-Scamander-style expandable trunk since they were kidnapped.
- Unfortunately human transfiguration was really the only magical niche Mr. Lansing excelled at and the expansion charm on his trunk malfunctioned, leading the animals to be loosed at the train station when he attempted to leave. (Afternoon of Feb 17)
- The Ministry initially thought these were all real animals, until a hapless DRCMC employee (cough, Ford, not that he's admitting to it) misfired a spell and accidentally un-transfigured one (Agape Lestrange). (Morning of Feb 19)
- At this point the Ministry looked into all the animals they had captured so far and realized some of them are transfigured humans, while some are in fact animals.
- Mortimer Lansing is in custody.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR ME?
I'm one of the victims:
Show

I'm a Hogsmeade resident:
Show

I'm a Ministry employee:
Show

Can I change my mind about something? Yep Smile If you didn't sign anyone up as missing but the animal thing sounds cool and fun, it's not too late to retcon it in if you want. Likewise, if you signed someone up to go missing and this now seems like the Worst Thing Ever, feel free to retcon it out. My feelings won't be hurt.
