“ ... pardon ? ” every elegant line of a lithe frame angles towards figure she’s ended up tucked in this corner with, crown of her head flush against the wall despite curious cocked angle. hues glow hazel in dim light ( though they shift in the murky light, a constant kaleidoscope spiral ) ── “ must’a MISHEARD you there, darl’. someone’s done what, where ? ” not entirely sure whether it’s body shots or battery uttered beneath the noise ; is she convinced she wants to hear the answer ? stay tuned.
saoirse in flat #22b is under the impression that everyone gathered is commiserating yesterday’s montrose magpies loss at the quidditch league. her friend, roger, considers what’s happening to be more of a celebration of the falmouth falcons unlikely win - this disagreement will be heard all the way up in #35b, where eloise is treating the open tower block party as a slightly belated birthday bash. sarah, still at home but soon to show, receives a very confusing text message from a friend who received an equally confusing owl, earlier that night. something, something, the demiguise ddnt turn visible so sumemr is fucked. she won’t get an explanation on that one, but she will get a location : BEAUMONT COURT, MARJORIBANKS ROAD.
WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE :
only ONE thing is really for sure, and that’s that nobody is actually all that sure on how or why the tower block party on marjoribanks road kicked off. everyone that turns up gets another version of an everchanging story, to the point where even the most simplest of facts, like where it even started, are lost by the time it’s in full swing. someone says an apartment on the lower floor got a couple of kegs at a discounted rate and wanted to put them to good use. someone else says that someone farther up the building just got fired from their clerking job at the ministry of magic, and this is where it led. no one seems all that concerned about the lack of information going around, but then again, with so few and far between reasons to celebrate, of late, why would anyone in their right mind turn up the opportunity to really let loose ?
beaumont court is a 37 floor tower block at the heart of marjoribanks road. it’s not the tallest of the buildings that surround it and as one of the first ones to be built in this wixen settlement, it also isn’t up to the same sort of standard as some of the newer buildings - but what it does have going for it is the willingness of its residents to throw a hell of a party, when given half the chance. rules are established very early on in the evening. wix that want to get involved throw open their doors and invite partygoers ( many of whom are apparating in from farther afield than the surrounding london area ) into their humble abode. wix that don’t keep their doors charmed shut and throw up a ward to keep the noise out, letting everyone else have their fun without doing something silly like calling in the aurors. there is no dress code, and the overall code of conduct is a little shaky. some fights are expected to break out, but as long as the people involved deal with it without involving anyone else, no one is expected to be kicked out or anything. obviously, the statute of secrecy remains at the forefront of most people’s minds - or, some people’s minds, at least - but since most properties on marjoribanks road are already somewhat protected, as long as everyone keeps this within regular party bounds, everyone should be fine.
news travels by word of mouth. residents tell their friends, who tell their friends, who tell theirs, and that’s how it got so big, so fast - whoever did kick off this night of festivities probably didn’t expect the turnout that they got, but there’s no denying how magnetic it all starts to feel, after a while. as the first blowout event since the christmas attack, it’s obvious that everyone is glad to have an excuse to drink with their friends and laugh over drunken antics, and nobody can really deny the good it seems to do.
OUT OF CHARACTER :
it’s time to celebrate noxtms’ birthday, and this is an event that i have wanted to do for a really long time - so i hope you guys are as hyped up about it as i am ! the beaumont court tower block party is a little different to things we’ve done before, but the premise is much the same. this is your chance for your characters to let their hair down and get up to some - probably troublesome - antics, so make sure to take full advantage of that !
it may feel difficult to slot characters into this, especially those on the older side, but don’t worry - there are ways you can do it ( aurors could be making sure everything stays within the statute, for example ), and even if there ultimately aren’t, this is only the first of two events. the other one is a staple of the rp, and anyone who couldn’t dive in here will be able to dive in there ! go forth and enjoy, folks !
this event will kick off on thursday the 20th at 6pm gmt and will end on the 30th. click this sentence to find out what that start time translates to for you ! in game, this is happening on the 8th of april ! happy birthday nox !
no character is actually required to attend this event, nor are you required to take part, but you are heavily encouraged to !
this event is DASH ONLY, and starters should be tagged with nox.event033 or nox.beaumont ( or both ). the location for anyone who tags it is broadly marjoribanks road, a wix settlement located in south london comprised entirely of flat blocks and a small housing estate, with a handful of community areas ( allotment gardens, a plaground & a park ). you can find the channel for outfits on the main discord !
if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to message the main, and just give this post a like once you’ve read it !
