Oh, Tosha.

which, so many complicated feels about him lately, but this made me laugh.

From:

janeite

Has Jason got a way to communicate with Rachel off-journal? Or did we just not see those posts?

On a different note, I wonder if the journal magic is "smart" enough to re-direct Rookwood's post to the right Yaxley. I'm going to be really interested to see what happens with the wards over the next few days.

From:

keshwyn

I'm guessing a patronus.

From: (Anonymous)

Check Jason's journal, one entry back!

From:

janeite

Do you mean the June 21 entry? I saw they discussed his Patronus, just didn't make the leap from there to sending intel that way. :)

From:

lapin_agile

Jason put last night's intel at the bottom of his last post to Miss Minx.

Presumably it's bad Mole behaviour to write any PMs in the interval between a unit call-up and the op that's going to be compromised by the intel you give the other side. ;p

From:

janeite

Ah. With the formatting on my phone I missed that. Thanks!

From:

keshwyn

Not the last hurrah, but perhaps the end of the first encore? Cry havoc, and let slip the hounds of war...

From:

agathi

Oh, Tosha indeed.

I was really hoping the inferi that dropped were Lana's.

From:

cheyinka

Me, too - that, and hoping unconsciousness would drop them, and not just death. :/

From:

fmsv

Rookwood and Tosha are gone, both killed by people I would not have expected to be their deaths.

I wonder if Barty will survive the night?

From:

agathi

Wondering if Tosha maybe jumped? Sirius said he wasn't sure who/what hit him.

Or, better yet, severed the link himself and took off?

From:

keshwyn

It seems unlikely he would not respond to Barty, if that's the case. I think he's really gone.

From:

kiya

Oh, Barty. Wrestling with the prayers so hard.

From:

cheyinka

So presumably Seamus passed out due to the ritual... is it bad of me that I more want to know how that turned out, than where Charlie and Hermione are?

(Also, how awful is asphyxia as a curse? There's no doubt a half-dozen counter-curses... if you could draw the breath to cast them...)

From:

keshwyn

I find myself trying to compose a poem for Tosha. He was, all in all, my favorite villain - I like bad guys who are COMPLEX.

ETA: Siz did it for me.

From:

kiya

Oh, the ritual, yeah, duh.

I was thinking he might have run into inferi, which are his boggart, y'know? (Well, his mother as inferi is.) But duh, the ritual.

Siz has made... minor comment on the ritual.

From:

keshwyn

Oh Siz...

No poem required now.

From:

ursamajor

With Tosha now in the lands beyond, I wonder if that affects the accessibility of his rooms/the Headmaster's office in Hogwarts, at least partially because of the Book. Are there still muggles/muggleborns trapped with Protectorate supporters, especially ones whose births would show up there?

Also, Siz. Oh, Siz.

Edit: Apparently, Hogwarts has decided to recognize the death of its former headmaster.

cheyinka

So furious, so sad, and I'm right with her - I liked him! He was a great evil guy! And then he made inferi and all of a sudden I didn't really want him to get to see Albion finally victorious, after all.

From:

edschweppe

I was really hoping that part of Alternity's winding down would include the Redemption of Antonin Dolohov.

Well, you can't always get what you want...

From:

kiya

I didn't have hope of that. I was hoping that he'd live long enough for Siz to give him that piece of her mind non-posthumously though...

From:

ursamajor

I wasn't sure *Siz* would. Live long enough, that is.

As is, with Barty on the rampage, I'm not sure the world will survive the afternoon. Would Sinistra be enough of a target in his mind? What about Bellatrix - after all, wasn't she the one who compelled Tosha to revive the Inferi project? And Hydra's surely a target of "I will take everyone down with me ..."

From:

ursamajor

Also, looks like the Protectorate's not aware of the ward issues yet if Lana Sandoval-~~Pennifold~~Lestrange(?) is telling her family to use the Floo. Wonder who's going to get caught in *that* little net.

Edit: Rats, it's not going to be Lana or Rod. Oh well :)

Oh Linus. Poor complicated Linus.

From: (Anonymous)

When Bellatrix tells you it's time to stop (http://alt-bellatrix.dreamwidth.org/22270.html), you know you've *really* accomplished something.

From:

ursamajor

When Bellatrix compares you to Sirius Freaking Black, burrrn.

From:

janeite

I found it equally telling that Bellatrix wants to discuss "exit strategies." To me that doesn't sound like someone who still thinks she can win.

From:

keshwyn

I find myself wondering if Barty has developed a death wish...he seems to be calling Hydra out, and I have to wonder if it's at least partly a plea to kill him, since he's been going 'round killing everyone he ever cared about in addition to people who might get Hydra's attention in one way or another. He was in love with Athena, he killed Daphne's family - Maebh should be *really* grateful she's locked up right now.

From:

kiya

If the Order were a little more ruthless I would expect them to bait a trap with Maebh.

From:

cheyinka

Possible. It's not just that Hydra may be right that Dolohov was making the inferi for him; he told Bellatrix that all Dolohov needed was field time.

From:

kiya

Yeah. Hydra's theory is sound, I think.

Barty persuaded him not only to do something that he found damnably evil (make inferi), but got him to push himself past exhaustion and then took him out into the field for a break, where, again, Barty did not sufficiently guard his back.

Barty thinks he damned his father.

And I missed this was foreshadowing when it was posted, of course.

From:

synecdochic

Hydra is absolutely killing me over the past two days with all her messages to Barty, but the last two in particular were like a bludger to the stomach.

From:

keshwyn

Barty responded to that last one.

Where do you suppose Justin is? And what do you suppose Hydra wants with a unicorn?

From:

sugarjet03

I think (but I hope I'm wrong) that she drank its blood. She probably thought it was the only way to stay alive long enough to kill him.

From: (Anonymous)

Sadly, it looks like you're right (http://alt-draco.dreamwidth.org/52437.html)... Complete with dark ritual and all.

-- Keshwyn (at work again)

From:

cheyinka

I really hope Justin's there in the hospital wing with her, and just hasn't said anything. :(

From:

kiya

OH SIZ.
