Aftermath (new post)

[keshwyn]

Hey look! Tosha's awake! Oh brave new world, that has such creatures in it...

ETA: And Slughorn has shown up to brew Cinnabaris! Wonders unceasing...

I am so looking forward to Tosha's reactions to everything. Especially since he doesn't have to worry about monitoring anymore. I wonder if he'd feel safe enough to reach out to Siz- on the one hand, it might make Bellatrix suspicious, but on the other, the accusations against him were from Hydra, and she doesn't seem to be upset (with Tosha) that the rite didn't go as it was supposed to.

[stormyhearted]

(Also, I am super paranoid that V had Slughorn holed up at Eton, and that it's not the real Slughorn with Sally-Anne.)

[teceler]

If Siz messages him no one will be able to tell if he talks back!

And if Siz doesn't do that without being prompted, well, Sally-Anne did pm him earlier...

[stormyhearted]

Ooh, good point!

[alt_player]

He wrote back to Sally-Anne (just wanted to link this, since the post is pretty far down)...

Aww, Aurors Brodie, Weasley, Malfoy, Finch-Fletchley, and Finch-Fletchley. *melts*

Rachel cracked me up there! Though Hydra's point is 110% legit.

[kiya]

I'm not sure anyone else in the world would describe Bella as "infamously hard to get along with", though.

Keep up that power of deadly understatement, Hydra.

[kiya]

Bella knows Stornoway's gone Order. BE CAREFUL, CHARLIE.

Gah! No more inferi...thank goodness. Well. Rivers and lakes of putrid flesh are better, right?

-les, GROSSED out.

[keshwyn]

Sally-Anne, mistress of the hard question! ::waits eagerly to hear what Tosha's response will be::

[stinaleigh]

And Aurora, here, saying the reason I was thinking of for coming to some sort of weird amnesty/cooperation agreement with Dolohov. He did spend the first 10+ yrs outside the wards and has extensive contacts in the worldwide wizarding community

[stormyhearted]

She's not pulling any punches today.

[elisem]

I know! I read that and messaged a friend "SA is SUCH a Slytherin! Well done, her."

[stormyhearted]

This doesn't look good for Padma. I wonder if she'll suspect Seamus and run (to Hogwarts and the Order, perhaps?), or whether she'll go to her death.

Called it on Seamus setting up to kill Padma. Fitting for these two, so intent of turning traitors in. This is gonna be good. Thank you, players for making me hate these two so much. =)

-les, at work and f5ing

[stormyhearted]

I don't know what to think. Has he come to his senses, or is he setting a trap?

[ursamajor]

God, I don't know. And Padma's probably naive enough to be like, "Sure, meet us at X location!" The question is, are Inderpal and Haruman in charge of the situation enough to be Dogstar-paranoid on her behalf ...

[kiya]

I'm not betting on him coming to his senses.

[stormyhearted]

I suspect you're right. Though he is at least remembering that he can't totally trust Bellatrix, it seems. (From the icon, anyway.)

[(Anonymous)]

... I almost want her believe him and run to seamus... Only to kill him in the crossfire. Let her live with the knowledge that her besties turned on her and would have killed her while she wastes away in azkaban.

-les, who is kinda relishing in this plot line.

[sugarjet03]

I love that idea.

[aedifica]

Dammit. If he were really trying to escape, I think he'd have told Padma what Bella asked him to do.

[annia]

I am so happy that Voldemort died screaming that it's scaring me.

Really annoyed me in the canon that he got a quick death.


Although, now I'm wondering if he sounded like Harry. Sort of hoping he did because I want Tosha to be ridiculously guilt-ridden.

[stinaleigh]

Oh, Snape, I hope you knew how much you were loved.

[stormyhearted]

So much going on there. Not to mention a lot of feels!

[sugarjet03]

Tosha and Siz are giving me so many feels. I am unsurprised by his continued loyalty to Hogwarts, his relief at Voldemort's demise, and his willingness to stand by Barty (though it made me gleeful that he's totally fine letting the Order have Bella). I am even more interested to see how that changes if Barty is killed.

Also, I really hope that Justin makes a public post about how he's muggleborn and married to Hydra, because I really want to see Tosha's reaction to the former (and Bella's reaction to all of it).

[ursamajor]

I just can't wait for the first time Hydra's addressed as "Hydra Finch-Fletchley" in public. It's going to be lovely and provocative.

(And of course, Justin announcing that he's muggleborn will cause all sorts of heads to explode. *popcorn*)

[teceler]

I've been thinking about that.

I think the main circumstances where he would consider surrendering is if Barty gets killed not by the Order, or if he gets a hold of something he thinks might be enough of a bargaining chip for the Order to let them both live.

I'm not sure what happens if the Order kills Barty, but I feel like it's more likely to be him looking for revenge.

Also I hadn't thought about Justin making a public post about that, that sounds delightful. In a 'watch everyone-who-didn't-already-know's heads explode' way. I now really want to see this too.

[teceler]

Potentially-relevant thing

[sugarjet03]

That could be potentially awesome, depending on which Death Eater took them up on it. It would be an interesting arc for either Tosha and Barty, or Rod and Lana.

[adeliej]

I love Rachel so much.

"I mean, not that I'm in any position to point fingers regarding adultery, but I picked men with wives who don't hand-craft horrifying day-long death spells."

[batrachian]

So very very Rachel.

[elisem]

And what she wrote to Bellatrix!

[sugarjet03]

The icon choice in her message to Bellatrix was amazing. Well done, player!

[teceler]

Rachel is such a delight to read.

[elisem]

Bill cracks me up with his comment on the skills he gained working in the Ministry.

I love Linus' poem.

[adeliej]

Linus, for once I actually like your poetry. Well done. And congratulations on coming to your senses.

[worthywords]

It's a sestina! Isn't it? Without an envoi. That's actually a pretty sophisticated work. Whoever's playing Linus knows their way around poetry. And it's also hilariously Linus.

[adeliej]

Yeah, I was really impressed by it! And, as you say, that metaphor is so, so Linus (and I also really like it; this poem just made me happy).

[alt_player]

For you, the envoi:

’Tis clear that single strength protects us not;
We are up to the task only in sum,
In arithmancy and life’s care alike.

Love,
Linus' player

[worthywords]

Yay! Thank you!

[adeliej]

Nice! Thanks for this!

I'm so loving the conversations between Bella, Barty and Rod. She's just such an unyielding bitch that I love and can't stand it at the same time.

-les, loving all the slitherins speaking plainly.
