HEY HEY EVERYONE! It's JJ, and here's my sixth character! She goes exclusively by JD Pitchford and will look at you funny if you call her Janet, because that's what her dads call her when she's in trouble. Here's the quick and dirty facts:

Presents herself as the very sweetest person in the world, which is 80% true. The other 20% is raw efficiency. She sometimes get frustrated with people if they're not moving as quickly as she is, but she'll tell you to hurry up with a smile.

Aspiring MACUSA rep. Super overbooked. Lots of activities. If she wants to be a senator by the time she's 30, she's gotta get serious.

Your Ribbonfin Junior Prefect! She's kind of a hardass about things like curfew and uniform violations, because she wants her whole cabin (and the boys' cabin) to reflect well on her, personally. But she's also a willing ear and very invested in her girls' well-being. She knows something weird's going on with you guys, Ruby and Madison.

Rosy Stoker's Junior Class Consigliere. If she finds out about something, Rosy is going to find out about it too. No exceptions.

Also your Outdoor Education TA! Look out for mini IC/OOCs for OE students!

A reserve on the Ribbonfin Quidditch team. She plays keeper and seeker.

Classes: Charms, Hermeticism, Outdoor Education, Potions, Transfiguration, Magical Rudiments, DADA, Occlumency.

Clubs: Boating, crafting, outdoor exploration, D&F (only attends fencing).

Her interests include collecting pretty rocks, making clothes for her elderly Sphynx cat, maintaining her bullet journal, and reading true crime novels. Her dad also writes true crime novels, but she doesn't read his. It's opposition research!

I need everything for her! All she's got so far is her stinky twin brother, Jonah.

Hey guys it's JJ. M&M gave me a super senior.

This is Faye Turner, an extremely privileged child who is way too self-assured. She's a Coppertale senior, chaser on the Quidditch team, and a one-woman rumor mill.

( deets & plot ideas under the cut! )

OBJECTIVES FOR FAYE:
- Mack on cute girls
- Be super gossipy on anon post
- Win that last match for Coppertale
- Generally raise hell
- Don't fall in love

HEY Y'ALL. I was going to post this on the OOC post but it got long and I know not everyone checks the chatter posts, so HERE IT IS IN YOUR FACES.

Ari's not doing well in school, which she was not concerned about since she had no intention of returning next year, but after having sit-downs with her brother and Ms. Rhee, she's reconsidering. And that means it's study time.

She needs tutors for all her classes: Charms, Herbology, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration, DADA, and Divination. Ms. Rhee recommended students specifically to her, so volunteers will have to be in good standing. I'd also prefer it if they had an established interest in their suggested subject, because Ari needs to catch a little enthusiasm from someone.

I know I'm the beggar here but I'm gonna be a little choosy about these because I'd like them to be lasting plot lines for her that roll over into Y2 - she's not all that approachable or sociable, so I don't get many chances to expand her social circle. (Seniors are still welcome tho!!!) ❤

After I have some people figured out she'll contact you guys in-character, probably sometime next week.

Ms. Rhee is also encouraging her to consider taking different classes next year, and she'd like to talk to students in Aesthetics, Artificing, Outdoor Education, Magizoology, and Wizard Lit about their experiences with the classes.

THANKS EVERYONE I LOVE YOU

ROOMMATES MEME!

Cam asked me what Clem has on her desk and I have no chill so here's this

( meme q's )

NAME: I know all your middle names 
CABIN: Year/House/Boys or Girls

TIDYNESS: Do they leave their shit all over? Take their shoes off at the door?
PET PEEVES: Is there something their roommates could do that would absolutely drive them nuts?
SLEEPING HABITS: What's their bedtime? When do they get up? Do they snore? Grind their teeth? Spill crazy secrets sleep-talking? 
BATHROOM HABITS: Morning or night showerer? Do they have bad personal hygeine? 
SHENNANIGANS: Are they seeing somebody? Do they drink? Run an illegal betting ring out of their cabin? Is there a drawer they absolutely do not want anyone else to open? Does this affect their roomies?
SHARING IS CARING: Do they lend out their school supplies? Clothes? Other possessions? Do they ask permission before borrowing their roomies' stuff?
FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC: What's their general relationship with their roommates? Do they look for emotional support from them? Are they icy but civil? Are these just four people you see for half an hour every morning and evening?
CABIN STANDARDS: Do they have any peer-enforced cabin rules? Designated study time? A chore wheel?
DECORATIONS: How did they personalize their space? What's on their desk? (Keep in mind that there are some school-enforced rules about how they're allowed to decorate.)
FAMILIAR: Does their pet live in the cabin with them? What's that like for everybody?

ANYTHING ELSE? I want to know everything about these bad children

A CHILL GIF: Or some <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/explore/desk-inspiration/">deskpiration</a>. Or a meme. I'm doing memes.

This is a monster post because I'm two weeks behind, which is entirely IJ's fault

( THREE WEEKS OF PRO QUIDDITCH GOODNESS )

Hey TEAM GOOSEBERRY KIDDOS! I totally zoned and forgot to post about the mandatory team shindig Clem had you all participate in this afternoon.

It was a fairly low key affair in which her primary goal was to get people to relax and have fun, because we're all competitive perfectionist assholes here and she knows that a couple of you are probably stressed out about the game (SHE IS FOR SURE). Activities included:

Human Knot, the teambuilding game where you all hold hands at random and then have to untie yourselves.
Spider Web, a physical puzzle in which you have to get each member of the team through a different hole of the web and can't touch the threads of the web. This is usually a low ropes course thing but in this case was done with a ~magically conjured~ web, because fuck it, we're wizards. Clem set up the web so that there are only 4 holes you can feasibly get through without someone picking you up.
Freeze!, the improv game in which two people improvise a scene and anyone watching can "freeze" them, tag in, and unfreeze improvising a totally unrelated scene with the same positions.
A game Clem calls Mountain Lion, in which she is the mountain lion (natch) and you are all deer. She stands in a marked circle (the watering hole), which you may approach from any angle. You can only move when she's not looking at you. If she sees you moving, you're out. The goal is to get part of your body into the circle without her noticing.
Ten Fingers, which is like Never Have I Ever without the alcohol. She's gonna try to keep people on task asking non-dirty questions for this game, cause her intention is that you learn about some cool life experiences your teammates have that you didn't know about, not gauge their sexual prowess.

If you guys wanna discuss how that all went this is the place to do it, but it's just gonna be an OOC and not a IC/OOC because it's been a long week and I am very tired.

Go go Goslings!

VICTORY SCREECH

HEY FRIENDS IT'S JJ! Three things. First of all:

PLACE YOUR QUIDDITCH BETS! by Monday, 8PM MST.

I'll usually post Quidditch stuff on Sundays but I forgot to post that reminder so HAVE AT IT. Anyone can place bets and if your character doesn't want it to be known that they did so, they can place a bet through someone else. Or do it double under the table. Clem won't rat you out. THANKS GUYS ILU ALL.

Secondly, this is Todd! Say hi to Todd.

( including his face since icons are broken and you can't see his face! )

Lastly my 2 jobs are both gonna be super crazy for the next few weeks so I might be around a little less on weekdays. Be back soon!!

Since her freshman year, Clem's been running a Pro Quidditch betting ring for Gooseberry students. And guess what? The Pro Quidditch season is starting this weekend! Miscreants and sport enthusiasts unite!

As this is her third year doing this, she has a pre-established ward for participants. If your character participated last year, or has been vetted in this year by a reliable member, drop me a comment on this post and I'll add them to the list (which is going to live here on the betting page).

I have some information on the 24 teams playing available here! (PS let me know if you can't see this gdoc I've been having some trouble with it). Last year the top three teams were, in order: Drake Kill, Sweetwater, and relatively new team Klamath, which was an upset.

XAVIER LEWIS placed the correct spread bet last year despite the long odds on Klamath, and won the entire pot of 350 dragots.

MEAN GIRLS PART DEUX. This is Ariadne Flint, she's awful, and she's here to ruin your day.

( bullet points! )

Plotting with her is going to be a little tough because she's a new exchange student and she's been a little isolated since arriving, but other mean girls? People she doesn't like? People who don't like her? Hogwarts connections? A long-suffering senior who showed her around on her first day and feels the need to check in on her wellbeing every now and then? Or whatever else you have to throw at me!

Me, 100 years later: I'm back! And I missed everything!

Apologies for my prolonged absence, but I'm back on my feet and at full health. I'm reading through everything I missed and that might take me a day or two but I'll start getting my characters back into stuff going forward. Let me know if there's anything in particular you'd like me to backtag! I'm totally up for it. I'm gonna go through all the intros I missed today too.

I missed you guys! Hi! How have you all been?

HEY GUYS sorry I'm going to be MIA for a teeny tiny bit, I've been sick and I can't really bring myself to do more than dramatically drape myself over the furniture and complain. But I'll be back in tip top shape shortly!

GOT DISTRACTED BY VIDEO GAMES BUT NOW I'M BACK ON TRACK. It's time for even more intros

This is Reece! He's a junior Azurcrest. He's from New York. His mother is the chief of staff for the MACUSA rep from NY and his father is a nomaj journalist. Everyone in his family YELLS A LOT but that's how they show they care. The whole environment growing up was a little chaotic, esp because he was a shy child, but it did prepare him for being surrounded by Azurcrests. He's a little more introverted than some of his housemates but he's more sociable than he used to be.

His primary hobby is ~inventing~ which is fun when it's successful. Which is a solid 50% of the time. He promises not to blow anything up (while he's at school). He also enjoys MUGGLE ASTROLOGY, an obsession he picked up from his older sister (who recently graduated from Azurcrest as well). She owls him Teen Cosmo just for the horoscopes. He's a Capricorn.

He's also the other junior prefect for Azurcrest! He's pretty lenient on minor infractions. His main mantra as a prefect is "let's all have fun, be safe, and be nice to each other". JUST FOLLOW THE GOLDEN RULE, GUYS.

I'm open to any and all kinds of plots

HEY it's JJ again I will make this super quick!

This is Ivy Templeton, Laurel's twin sister. She's a Ribbonfin senior and a SUPER SCHOLAR. She's very academically focused, but doesn't really know what she wants to do with her life yet, which has been the source of a lot of anxiety for her recently.

( A FEW FUN FACTS )

She's in charms, hermeticism, history of magic, transfiguration, potions, magical aesthetics, defense against the dark arts, and Animagus studies. She stops by the juniors' Angimaus lessons regularly.

Her extracurriculars are archery, boating, fencing & duelling, gaming, and event committee.

For plot-stuff: friends of course! An academic rival/frenemy! Maybe an ex boyfriend or two if anyone's up for that! And whatever else you have to throw at me.

THANK YOU ALL for giving me a very warm welcome I'm so excited about these characters ❤️❤️❤️

HELLO HELLO! My name's JJ and this is my first character here. I have another character in the pipeline also but I'm super impatient to get playing so I'm just gonna be spamming the OOC comm with intros. I'll try to keep this short!

SO this is Clementine. She's from a weird small town in California that she doesn't like that much. Luckily for her, her parents love rocking the boat, so they let her go off to Ilvermorny, where she was a Wampus. Now she's an Ebonhide junior and one of the chasers on the Quidditch team. Quidditch is definitely her thing. She wants to go pro after school and she's at Gooseberry on scholarship to play.

She's got an attention-seeking streak, and it's probably a good thing she's out of touch with muggle culture because she's pretty much the physical embodiment of "do it for the VINE". She'll do pretty much anything anyone dares her to do, no matter how dangerous or ill-advised. SHE'S GREAT AT PARTIES.

On the flipside she's also kind of hotheaded and a super sore loser. She was kind of notorious at Ilvermorny for getting in fist fights with other students. She's been better about this since being at Gooseberry both thanks to getting better support from the staff and because she doesn't want to lose her scholarship, but she's still a little ball of anger and energy.

PLOT STUFF: Quidditch people! She'll obviously like her teammates better than the other house players but she probably looks up to some of the older players regardless of house. Maybe a QUIDDITCH ARCHNEMESIS? People she knows from Ilvermorny. Party friends. I feel like her propensity for dares would probably be a bad mix with Azurcest influences, so Azurcrest friends.
