PLOT IS HAPPENING.

[annia]

 So I was worried about the Order meeting because of Barty, Raz and Tosha. I still am but I don't think Barty would call the Burrow a farm so don't think they're going to be storming the Burrow today. 

But GINNY! 


Looks like I'm not getting any sleep at all tonight. 

(Why do you guys have to start doing PLOT when it's nighttime in the UK? It's just not fair!)

I'm so excited! I really hope they didn't have a chance to hide everyone.

I don't think they're hitting the Burrow either, though Barty does mention the SW, which is where Ottery St. Catchpole is. I guess we'll see.

There will definitely be obsessive refreshing tonight!

[stormyhearted]

She's seen them!!

[annia]

Going to hunt back through the journals. (Even though I really do have important things to do right now, like sleep).
Tosha mentioned tracing the ink so I want to see if the Order mentioned where they got the ink from for the pure hunger book they distributed.

[annia]

Can't find any mention of ink by the Order but I'm not really searching that hard because I've found this: http://alt-sirius.dreamwidth.org/82925.html?thread=826093#cmt826093

So therefore in Alternity, Molly and Arthur were in the Order in the first wizarding war. So now I'm worried about the photographs again as I originally thought that Molly and Arthur joined later.

[annia]

Oh Sally-Anne. I love you. Meeting (or not meeting) Fu Lee is probably not the most important thing right now.

[cheyinka]

I love that Fu Lee sounds like he was the one who most kept his head - he wasn't yelling, hiding, wishing he could hide, or currently canine, so obviously it was a good time to welcome Ginny :D

Why do you guys have to start doing PLOT when it's nighttime in the UK?

Because we're all in the US, though in a variety of time zones. But don't worry, this whole week, many players have been up past 1 AM Eastern time, with work in the morning....

We're all kinda tired. But having fun!

[cheyinka]

...something terrible just occurred to me.

They're tracing magical ink, because Mundungus led them to black-market ink (I gather)... and they're about to go to a farm because of it.

Didn't the Order print the books on Luna's father's printing press at one of their two farms? Aldrich and Bedford aren't under the Fidelius, are they?

[ladyrelaynie]

THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO MY MIND.

Guess I'll be spending another night hitting the refresh button and reading past entries.

[cheyinka]

I've been trawling through past entries (but it is a lot harder to put together a narrative than one might think, since while there are recaps, there aren't straight "this is here, this is there, this is under fidelius, this is not") trying to see what I can find out about Aldrich.

...which, now that I think about it, must be what Ginny's been doing, except probably not Aldrich and not on Dreamwidth :D

[teceler]

I want to say Aldrich was under Fidelius, because they disappeared it during... something distracting, maybe Ireland, or the camp uprisings? And the same for Bedford. So unless they have an in on those..

[ladyrelaynie]

I hope Mundungus doesn't know the location! It has to be the secret keeper who tells you, though, doesn't it, so you can get in?

[cheyinka]

I could find Remus's order minutes about Aldrich, but I couldn't tell from them if it was under the Fidelius. I guess that was what he meant about nobody approaching the perimeter - not that no one was coming to take Aldrich back, but no one was coming to look for it (so as to take it back).

[cheyinka]

Okay, Aldrich definitely is: http://alt-kingsley.dreamwidth.org/15440.html has Kingsley wondering if the Fidelius will block the wizarding wireless. (Which is a good thought: how does the Fidelius make something un-findable? Radio waves and light waves are both the same kind of thing, at least to Muggles...)

[cheyinka]

Bedford is too: http://alt-lee.dreamwidth.org/4768.html Lee reports that they wanted to replant differently "because of the shape of the Fidelius".

So that's good, then - Aldrich, Bedford, and of course Saltash are all safe.

[teceler]

Okay, that's good. --on a less reassuring note, weren't the Strettons involved in some black-market stuff?

[ellemir]

That's what just occurred to me.

Not a disaster if it's them. But may cause some hairy moments.

I guess the perimeter stones are the anti apparition ones.

[teceler]

Probably less of a disaster than a raid on the Burrow in the middle of an Order meeting, yeah, but if Jeremy (or, hell, Sally-Anne, but she's less likely to be suspected of involvement) gets taken in for questioning...

(Oh, that would make sense, I was wondering what they were)

[ellemir]

I think the fact that Sally Ann called in MLE that time makes her look innocent.

So only Jeremy at risk. That is so much less scary than the scenarios I've been considering. And I have to confess I haven't warmed to the character as much as others. He's a little too dismissive of people before getting to know them.

[teceler]

One hopes.

It is a less scary scenario, but he is on the Lock, which I don't like the risk of particularly at the moment.

(Jeremy's... I'm kind of indifferent on him too, actually, relative to a lot of the others, oddly)

[ellemir]

I don't think its a bad thing that we like some characters more. Makes me realise how lifelike the characters are, when you judge them as if they were real. It's yet another sign of damn fine writing.

[teceler]

Okay, I just have to say, I am loving her comments as she reads stuff.

[ellemir]

Professor Brutka is ALBUS DUMBLEDORE ?

[jenett]

Replying to this mostly so people can have one of the appropriate icons for this circumstance.

[ellemir]

I loved the comment too much to try to comment myself.

It really speaks for itself.

[teceler]

Ron, this is the part where you show her the journal entry where the Order finds out about that. :P

(I just. Have I mentioned I end up laughing so much whenever Toshenka mentions Brutka in passing?)

[cheyinka]

I had a gigglefit when he said something like "has NO ONE seen Snape?" and I was all "no, dude, you saw him yesterday sweeping up mud!"

[teceler]

I didn't notice that one! Now I have! (Hee)

[stinaleigh]

And now she is going to go sit with Ron and not put her reactions in the journal. :(

Loving it, players.


(Dolohov talking about Brutka makes me grin too)

[teceler]

Yeah, I was enjoying that. Hopefully there will be some more fun on the meeting minutes (I'm assuming we're getting those)

"It's a bit like she's been a three day binge of Fizzing Whizbees."

(which I just noticed the typo in, thanks brain)

(There was the one time when he and Siz were talking about how there are practically no Griffindor teachers, and Brutka came up because... he's foreign and doesn't have a house!)

[cheyinka]

We're getting meeting minutes! " I still need to do Minutes, after all. Agenda Item 4: GINNY WEASLEY, OH BLOODY HELL." :D

[stinaleigh]

And Ginny is talking to Bill a bit about Percy. :(

[cheyinka]

"My whole family is in this secret organization of non-evil people! That explains why Percy has been avoiding us: it's his cover! Right, guys? Guys? ...guys?" :( :(

[teceler]

I just :(

[elisem]

Yeah. Me too.
