goose_ooc | PETITION EVENT: Meeting Martin Pratt

In response to the upcoming event where everything written in the journals will suddenly be anonymous, Martin Pratt (the Gooseberry graduate who invented them) will visit the school to fix the damage. Everyone will see him wandering around campus from time to time, but he'll mostly be distracted and unhelpful when taking breaks from his work.

However, one student will get an opportunity to speak with him on the morning of the 11th, right before he leaves. They'll be passing the office he was lent, and he'll call them inside to ask for a little help. Finished with his responsibilities, Martin will be much more open to holding a conversation. What this means is that whoever is chosen as a result of this petition event will get to roleplay a complete scene with the NPC Martin Pratt, who knows a lot about the journals, Anonymous, their brother, and the history of Gooseberry itself.

RULES AND GUIDELINES

Fill out the form provided and post it here.

You have until May 5, 11:59 PM. After which we'll choose, and the winner will be contacted.

You may write as much or as little as you like, but we're looking for thoughtful responses to get a good idea of what your character would do with this information.

You can enter as many or as few characters as you like.

We're looking for characters who are both active and appropriate within the narrative. All this means is that we need you to justify why giving your character this opportunity would add to the story of Gooseberry.

Having received previous spooky/metaplot events does not make us less likely to choose your character. Please apply if it interests you!

What is currently known about Martin Pratt: He's a Gooseberry grad (former Ebonhide) and a Muggleborn. According to Mr. Elmasry, who was an underclassman when Martin graduated, he was eccentric and spent a lot of time alone in the woods. There are rumors he married a vampire. (Yes, Martin's graduating year is a slight retcon of previously released information, just roll with it!)

The magical journals first came into use in the summer of 2011, i.e. just before our current seniors started sophomore year, and the first anonymous post didn't appear until January 2012.

Meggie will be playing the role of Martin.
