Calling for a Winter Rescue
#1
HELLOOOO as some of you may know my life. Exploded? In the last couple of months-- good in some ways, bad in others, but 100% chaotic and I have dropped the ball all over the place and NOW I need to salvage my characters/plots in time for the oncoming AC! Because I would like to stay, and keep my precious children.

So here are the characters I need to piece back together! Please either reply to this thread or DM me on Discord if you have threads you'd like to do with them, OR threads I have accidentally abandoned in the madness that you would be down to resurrect!

Olive Norris - My fourth year Hufflepuff! An amnesiac with no background to speak of, dutiful and reserved. She is an introverted, private creature, but I would love to build her some long-lasting friendships! And maybe build some drama for her at school!

Ariana Dumbledore - Baby Seer! She's an odd one, traumatized, and contained to Godric's Hollow, so finding plots with her has been... difficult. And I will cry if I lose her! So. Any youngsters whose parents might visit Godric's Hollow? Anyone want to be friends?

Eilish McCarthy - My first year Hufflepuff! All bubbles and sunshine and just a little bit spoiled-- she's got that baby-of-the-family syndrome. I'd love to find her some friends in her year!

Ellen Ilkin - What happens when you've been taught your whole life to be proud of being a Muggle and then it turns out that, surprise, you're actually a witch, and now you're functionally homeless because your family lives in the part of town where witches cannot live, and you have to find yourself a place to live while also coping with your first year at Hogwarts? Anxiety. That's what. Anyone want to be friends with my poor Muggleborn Slytherin?

Hauke Bauer - A laid-back Durmstrang alumni, Professor of Magical Theory at Hogwarts, half-heartedly seeking a lady to court in spite of a wealth of gender-related complications on that front. I'd love to find some courtship opportunities for them, and also perhaps some students looking to dig into more advanced spellcraft/magical theory? Anyone want some private tutoring?

Prometheus Pomfrey - Death-obsessed Unspeakable introvert? Bisexual mad-scientist disaster? Someone give him some dark-magic friends.

Teodora Flores - My lovely flower. My absence meant this season was a bust for her, oops, and I'd love to get started really hurling her!

Titania Applegate - Former mean-girl turned curiosity by a family curse she can never speak of to anyone! Someone should totally be mean to her, like she would have when she was just a pretty little thing with no problems. Someone should also totally court her.

I can offer Phineas Black II for either (or both!) of your firsties. He is awkward and trying to figure things out, so there's that. XD I also have James Callum who will befriend anyone who seems nice enough. XD

I have my first year muggle Margaret Wallace who can play with your firsties or with your slightly older hufflepuff.

Joseph Knotwood could also use some threads to prevent his own demise at the hands of the AC

I can offer you Marlena here for Prometheus! She is also DoM and needs more friends.

Constance Sykes is the Slytherin matron and is returning imminently if she is any use for a Hogwarts based character Smile

MJ: still raising the graphics bar as of 2022

Charles Hutton is my first year! He can kind of a bully, but mainly to one person lol. He's also home sick, so he and Ellen could totally bond over that. I also have Gus, who is their DADA professor.

Cadogan Glynn is a year above Olive, but he's awkward and quiet, so they could be friends?

I have no hurls for Tedora, but I can offer Idris Oakby as a friend.

Drusilla Pettigrew is into dark magic, secretly, and is also a bit of a mean girl, less secretly. Thread with either Prometheus or Titania?

Ezra Applegate could also be of interest to either of them as an Unspeakable (Prometheus) or cousin (Titania) or even as technically hurlable (Teodora).

And then Don Juan Dempsey had a thread at Titania's debut if you wanted to do any kind of revival or follow up. He's technically a bachelor so could also thread with Teodora in that capacity.



Set by Lady!
#7
I have Mason Skeeter Ramona Pendergast Tennyson Halstead and Fiona McCarthy as my Hogwarts crew! All generally pretty open for new things, Mo would be especially kind to Ellen I think!

Sloane Bixby is close in age to Teodora and Titania! She missed out on her seventh year because of an accident but gets he social outcast thing like Titania. I've also got several mc gents available for hurling!

Prometheus is closer in age to a lot of my ministry gents, but they're all sort of normal and boring lol. Angie Swan just started working for accidents and catastrophies recently after a long stint as a cursebreaker so she knows quite a bit about dark stuff, but doesn't dabble in it herself.

Hello! I feel like Phineas Black II and Eilish McCarthy might make a good match? A little spark of mischief in both of them, I think they could get themselves into some fine trouble!

Let's save our professors together! Pff.

I think Margaret Wallace and Ellen Ilkin could be fun together. We can examine their similar but very different perspectives on this whole witching thing!

I think Marlena and Prometheus might vibe, actually!! Both odd, both Unspeakables, both varying degrees of quietly queer! Or not so quietly. Attempted-secretly. I would love to have them chat. What specialty is she within the DoM?

You're right, I bet Cadogan and Olive would get along! As well as anyone can when Olive's initial reaction to people is to ice them out with polite non-conversationalism. Perhaps they both chose the same hiding spot for studying?

And I bet we could have some real fun with Dora and Idris! I bet they'd be friends, and I bet they would clash. You know, the sort of friendship that frequently dissolves into bickering and then is mended again? (Maybe you can turn Dora more away from duty, who knows!)

I am interested in... all these potential tracks, which could make this a very long post! Okay if I Discord you?

Same with you-- I'm interested in many of these tracks! I'd love to see Sloane and Titania maybe bond over their misfortunes. Do you suppose they would have known each other in Hogwarts, prior to Sloane's accident?

I'd also love to hear about the potential hurlables for Titania and Dora.

And I would love to have Mo spend some time with Ellen! She needs friends, and also to feel less terrified of this new and wonderous world she has tripped into!

(And as a Bonus, Eilish should definitely hang out with her Mum.)

Re: Sloane & Titania, they would have known one another for sure, Sloane was a year ahead and in Gryffindor. I don't think they would have gotten along much at the time and Sloane was very much wrapped up in her own drama her last year at school (her 6th). Now might be a different story though! We should try and toss them together and see what happens!

My most plausible MC gents are Alvin Bixby, Noah Farley (though he's much too young to do anything official), & Tobias Ollivander. I have more, but they're rough matches at best lol.

I'm down for Mo & Ellen, we can also squeeze in something for Eilish & Fiona. I started something a while back we can revive or do something more recent, if you like, now that they're home for the holidays!

Let me know what you'd like me to start!

And you're very welcome, I hope it's helpful!

Sloane & Titania-- do you think they were actively OPPOSED to each other? Having bitchfits at each other? Or more ignoring each other? (Old enemies turned cautious friends?)

I feel like Tia in a thread with any of the three would be fun, though all in different ways. She's a bubbly airhead herself and I think loosing her into a room with Noah Farley would just.... end up with a bottomless stream of chatter, y'know? Drive everyone else up a wall.

Of them, though, I think she'd be most likely to try and strike up a conversation with Alvin? I think he would appeal to her, at least on first glimpse.

Yesss Mo & Ellen buddy time, and let's do a holiday thread for Eilish and Fiona! That'd be fun :D

Sloane is/was very much a guy's gal and was so deep into her own nonsense most of the time she probably just ignored Tia XD I think if she heard about the illness etc, she'd be much more sympathetic now!

I have an open Alvin thread here for whoever you'd like to toss in!

Let's do Eilish & Fiona, I can start, and save Mo/Ellen for when we get back to Hogwarts in January?

Not gonna lie I think being ignored might have upset Titania more, which I find hilarious. I'd love to explore them!

I will go read the open now :D

Will return to Hogwarts happen before the AC? IT's fine if not I'll just grab a different option for Ellen :D

Okay! Sloane's working at the zoo in Irvingly these days, is that somewhere she'd go or should I start something in town?

AC & Back to term are the same day (January 4th), I feel like it's probably safe to pre-date something, like start it now and set it for the 5th/6th of January! Why don't you start that one since you need to post her and I'll start Sloane/Titania, just say where!
