Thunder cracks. The sky opens up. Heaven pours its waste out onto the Earth and leaves death in its wake. For the month of March, uncommon weather events rock the world. It’s unclear whether these phenomenon are the fault of someone (or a group of someones...), a sign of the times, or just sheer bad luck and worse timing on top of the Statute of Secrecy’s demise. One thing is certain. No one—Muggle or Wixen or any combination thereof—is safe from nature’s wrath.
March’s event is a “lockdown” that comes in five parts. Each week a new location will face a cataclysmic “natural” disaster, where the designated characters will be stuck for 72 hours IC and approximately a week OOC. The schedule is as follows:
March 1-5. Tornadoes capable of spewing flame tear through the Scottish Highlands. The JWL’s Wimbourne House opens its doors as a sanctuary.
March 6-12. Earthquakes in London leave many high-rise buildings and their occupants in danger. This is the case for Tremblay Tower, a historically magic hotel that now finds itself in danger of collapse and full of people from every walk of life desperate to make it through.
March 13-19. Ice storms and sudden freezing trap the Ballycastle Ferry between the jagged shores of Ballycastle and the Rathlin Island docks. Those aboard must do their best to stay warm, stay fed, and stay sane as they reconcile with the that ancient terror of going down in sight of land.
March 20-26. The highly anticipated Puddlemere United vs. Appleby Arrows match becomes the first Quidditch game cancelled in a century when a flash flood threatens the lives of spectators. Players work tirelessly to fly people to safety from their brooms, but a team of fourteen and a crowd of four thousand make long work of it. Most people must fend for themselves until a path to safety clears.
March 27-31. When snowstorms hit Cardiff and a cold lightning begins to strike buildings and people alike into crystalline horrors, The Church of the Holy Sorcerer and Prophet Goyle exploit the people’s fear and need for protection with open arms and shelter... for the low, low, price of a little brainwashing.
Please plan carefully and only reply to threads and post starters you can commit to! We did our best to prioritize new connections and relationships when we divvied everyone up. If we missed a character please let us know so we can add them in; we are not taking transfer requests.
