Long time reader, first time poster, because OH MY GOD is anybody else reading this as it's happening?

(I should stop reading now and go to bed since it's past 1 AM where I am, but I simply cannot. Refresh, refresh, refresh.)

I expected the task to be the main event tonight, but am shocked by what's happening in the arena.
I hope no more die. Although judging by the fact that Voldemort cruciated Selwyn, Lucius and Crouch, I don't think there is going to be any happy ending from tonight.

I was out this evening, but I'm caught up now. It's so gruesome and sad.

The only good I can see coming from this is everyone realizing just how deranged Voldemort is, and that it helps bolster the opposition movement. You know he's bad when he's even got Lucius and Selwyn worried.

Harry's post just about broke my heart.

Congrats to the players. That was wonderfully disturbing. I feel a bit sick to my stomach.

Um.

Wow.

Um.
(No, sorry, no words. Fantastic job to the players, but...this was not what I needed to see when I first woke up.)

Had to skip-40 just to catch up on the last few days, and ... oh, god. I feel like I've been punched in the gut.

Please someone tell me Terry's OK? Everything else I can be patient on but someone please throw us a bone that Terry is all right.

Yeah. A bit of a wild ride, huh?

It does me too.

The cracks that are beginning to show are very interesting.

This, yes.

All the careful conversations this is bringing out in general, too.

I agree. By rights (well, by canon-parallel) the second Task should have been yesterday's big thing and an important mid-point in the tournament/year, but wow.

The Frost Faire went from being a background thing, an echo of plot themes, to looking a lot like a major turning point for the game.

Rabastan Lestrange as an honest, sane person still takes me by surprise sometimes.
