"Little by little the old world crumbled, and not once did the king imagine that some of the pieces might fall on him"

quote:

Someone's in love with you and has told you about their feelings. Gain 2 Strings on them.

There's this girl, Margot. Some guys were bothering her, nagging her about telling her fortune. Not sure if they were serious or if they were just bullying her. Anyway, I chased them off for her. Got enough of a reputation I didn't even have to knock heads, alright. She asked me whether I wanted to get my future told.

Thought about it for a second. I mean, it's a real thing, innit? But I told her to leave it. Gotta leave some surprises. I think she liked that. Said I might bring change in Hogwarts. Not a prophecy she said, just her take on me. I said that's a good thing, because there's plenty of shite that could use changing. Spent some time talking about Mugg.... normal stuff from back home.

She told me she likes me. Which eh... I'm not sure what to do with that. I'm not planning to stick around in Wizard World after graduation. I'm going back to South-East London, taking care of my mum. And I get this werid feeling like she's of two minds of the whole thing.

Does this sound ok to you LifeGetsWorser?

quote:

Someone is thinking about taking something from you - discuss with them and decide what it is. You each get a String on one another.

So yeah. I'm sure someone's planning to take my good times at football away from me because I'm threatening their posh sport. I know Cana has been keeping an eye on me.

quote:

_________ and I stumbled across / were involved in something dangerous one day - but made it out ok. Describe what happened and take a string on one another.

"Alright. So, remember two years ago. When everyone got really lovely and depressed? Dementor in Hogwats. Yeah, again. I was just getting lost again, when I heard sobbing. I don't stand for that, innit? So I go find it, and there's this Hufflepuff Senna girl, leaning over some other unconscious Hufflepuff girl. Big shade looming over her. Weird thing, it seemed to try to want to get closer to the unconscious girl, but couldn't quite make it. Now, seein' girls getting messed with like that, just sets me off, right? So I fuckin' spell I could remember at it, and it's just coming at me. So then, I just got loving pissed and took a swing at it. Weird thing is I loving hurt it too. Thing looked as surprised as me. So it grabbed me, and I grabbed it, and I'm shouting curses that ain't got nothin' to do with dark magic, right? But it's not feeling good.

Then the girl just stands next to me says I shouldn't do things in anger. Can you believe that poo poo? But then, I figured anger never feels good for me. So I just took a breath and calmed down. And suddenly, the Dementor wasn't doing jack poo poo except writhe in my grip. Though I think the Senna girl got somewhat to do with it too. Headmistress McGonagall herself showed up. Senna girl seemed to want to avoid any attention, and I don't wanna snitch, so when she didn't really go into detail about the 'she kept the Dementor of the other girl for a bit', I didn't clarify. Headmistress pretty curious about me. Asked me to keep mum about the whole thing. Which I did. Gryffindor got a shiteton of points for it though."

Analia Sableheart is a Gryffindor. She doesn't exactly have a good time, because her family had a shiteton of Death-Eaters, so she's getting a lot of dirty looks from folks, but her mother and her broke with all the pure-blood poo poo, and denounces 'her old side' perhaps harder than some, so not exactly making friends with the likes of the Horsemen. She's really nice in general, really nice to me. But it's one of her family which attacked my mother

Rupinder is a Ravenclaw. She's a pa... her parents are from Pakistan, and she's muggleborn like me. And like me, she's not too keen in giving up all she knows to become jsut like all the other witches and wizards here.

Eustace Black the Slytherin and Devon Meeks the Gryffindor have been added to the expansive class as well.

As for highlights, I'm a fan of the "everyone gets to highlight one other person" method. Some wonkiness involved, but with eight PCs that's bound to happen. Anyways, do assignments either in here, or with your first post in the gamethread.

Senna highlights for Cana
Cana highlights for Gwen
Gwen highlights for Zach
Zach highlights for Valerie
Valerie highlights for Lee
Lee highlights for the Mags

We'll be doing highlights every 3 scenes, which is also how long I'm defining a session to be. Just realized I hadn't announced this anywhere, even if it was pretty obvious already.

Secondly - if you're writing a post that extensively involves an NPC, I'm quite willing to provide dialogue for them if you want me to. Just message me on IRC and let me know what's up.

Taking Uncontainable as my first advance.
When you attempt to escape any form of physical entrapment, roll with volatile. On a 10 up, you escape.
On a 7-9 the MC will offer you a hard bargain: agree if you want to escape.

For Valerie's advance, I'll take the Wyrm move Broker.

You're attuned to how people value and weaken one another.Whenever you gain a String on someone with any Conditions named in a Skin move, such as blamed, one of them, morbid, dazed, snake food, like a sister to me, like a brother to me, moth to the flame, [outclassed or doomed], mark down 2 Strings on that person instead of 1.

Working on prompts now, should have them finished either late tonight or while I'm at work tomorrow. Will probably be moving everyone to next scene + advancing the time of day.
