Elysium Vampires: Amara Vaughn, Lars Beckham, Finnigan Cross, Cecily Faulkner
Site change
I know we’ve posted it on the site but not here, but it’s about time that we do so. Lumos Alliance is closing its doors and moving on to a new, free hosting site as Elysium Borrowed. It wasn’t easy for us to come to this decision as Lumos has been around for nearly 10 years and has a lot of history, but we feel that it was the best thing we could do given the situation. Being our own independent site meant that we had to pay for the hosting and for our url and we were also script dependent. Unable to pay the costs and without any more people willing to script, the site was stuck in a limbo state where we literally couldn’t do anything to fix it or move it forward and so we knew something had to be done.
Though Lumos Alliance won’t be around anymore, that doesn’t mean that it’s history will be forgotten, in fact, we’ve taken a lot of the history and weaved it into the new site so that it’s still there in some form. While this is a rather huge change, we hope to see everyone there and that you’ll bear with us as we work on continuing the story of LA in its new chapter. With that being said, we’d like to welcome you to Elysium Borrowed and hope you enjoy your time on site!
RP of the Month!
In this month’s winner, Feed a Cold; Starve a Fever, we find that Elizabeth McLaggan has finally been released from Azkaban after being found innocent of the crime she was originally admitted for, however, her arrival back at Hogwarts is anything but pleasant as she gets into a heated argument with her wife, Lilliana Devane, and things go even further downhill from there. How will this story play out? Make sure you read to find out! Let them eat cake – or wear it if that’s what takes their fancy! What starts off with Rosalind Scott searching for a snack to satisfy her sweet tooth soon turns into an evening of mischief and confessions when Nicholas Grant helps her find it. However, confectionery isn’t all they find! After trying the cake – in more ways than one – the pair end up locking lips in the middle of the kitchens. Find out what happens for yourself by reading Lost In reality, this month’s first runner up. For our second runner up, the title doesn’t quite do the content justice. Yes, the speckled band happening to belong to the newest Ravenclaw Prefect, Oliver Scott, is brought into question by the ever brilliant Cecily Faulkner. In fact, most of his tattoos are, but that doesn’t seem to be the focus and it makes us wonder - is she sizing him up as a snack or is there something else behind her alluring dark glare? Oliver certainly tells all and speaks his mind leaving us with the tantalizing notion that Miss Faulkner’s notorious icy cold heart could someday be warmed - as long as he can keep up with her undying wit.
And the cup goes to...

Can I pleeease eat Huffie's prefect? I mean. I seriously don't think anyone will miss Halsey much.
No, you can’t go around eating other students just because you’re a werewolf, Nash :p
Roleplay of the month
After the derailment of the Hogwarts Express, Claudia Visby is at St. Mungo’s hospital. She’s asleep when Dorian Faulkner visits her. The Hufflepuff clearly doesn’t feel comfortable, not just because he hates hospitals. There seem to be more unspoken things between the two Hogwarts students. The moment Claudia wakes up, she is surprised to see him as they didn’t have any contact in months. Does he care for her after all? What about the rumors that surround the Hufflepuff? Find out the answers in September’s RPotM, The Woman. a well-written, emotional role-play. Romance seems to be in the air at Hogwarts – just maybe not for this pair! What starts off as Michael Halsey turning in a challenge from Charlotte Baker lands the guy in what could soon turn out to be more trouble than he can handle. After his life stops flashing before his eyes things seem to be going Mikey’s way, at least until his infamous mouth runs away with itself. Find out what happens by reading this month’s first runner up, Mission Accomplished. Taking the second runner up spot is a trip down memory lane from Matt GreenSpark and Meghan Frisk in Past Interests. After escaping the riot, the pair must find a way to treat Meg’s injury and flee Hogwarts’ grounds before they’re discovered. If avoiding capture by the professors isn’t enough, it seems as though Matt has a few pursuers of his own to deal with. Who are these mysterious figures, and will the rebel duo make it out without being caught? Make sure to read it yourself to find out what happens!

Sebastian hadn’t managed a single healing spell in his entire time at Hogwarts and non-verbal magic was harder than getting a smile from Cecily Faulker – an impossible task.

Roleplay of the Month; August
This month’s decision has been tough as there have been mayn outstanding RPs. We wish we could mention all of them but as rules have it, we had to choose the top three and here they are: In August’s RPotM, two of our Quidditch Captains are breaking stereotypes by just getting along. But that's not the only thing they're breaking being in the Forbidden Forest after dark in a Quidditch practice. When Sebastian Rosenthorn and Nash Jennings make a bet on the flying that's happening overhead, things start getting romantic. Only, the mood doesn't last long when Ashton McAlister finds the two out after dark. Find out what happens to the two rule breakers in Trouble is Brewing. Enemies, a small catastrophe, drama, heroes - our first runner up has it all! The Hogwarts Express derails. You're in a boxcar with someone you don't get along with, to say it nicely. As you lay there counting your injuries, you're probably expecting to be left there- but not if you're Nathan Jayne and your enemy is Arabella Caverly. Be sure to check out this incredible RP,Wrecked, to find out how these two manage to dig themselves out of the mess they find themselves in! August’s second runner up is Come Hell Or High Water where our newly appointed Muggle Studies and Muggle Defense Professor Damien Blackwood visits his wife Abigail in the hospital. Called because of ‘suspicious activity’ at Ollivander’s auror Abigail Blackwood was hurt during the explosion and is now at St. Mungo’s to recover. Her worried husband tries not only to comfort her but also to convince Abigail to give up her job and to come to Hogwarts with him as his Teaching Assistant. Of course, we are not going to tell you the outcome of this emotional, considerate and very well-written RP. Make sure to check it out yourself and find out about the surprise at the end!
Apparently Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Gryffindor student staff are going at it :p

Almost a week into the term and it’s already neck and neck!
