EVENT: Dedalus Diggle's 24th Birthday
Dedalus Diggle, a well-loved member of the Order, is to celebrate his 24th birthday, coincidentally on the 24th of July, 1980.
In light of the recent tragic death of a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Caradoc Dearborn, nobody feels much like celebrating. However, never being one to let terrible circumstances get him down, Dedalus decided to have not a party, but at least a gathering, for his nearest and dearest.
The gathering goes unbeknownst to the eyes and ears of the Dark Side; quite luckily, as it surely would have been targeted due to the amount of Order Members present.
TIME FREEZE - For our players, this event will take begin at 12am on the 24th July, British Summer Time, and conclude at 12am on the 29th of July. We have installed a clock on the main RP, so all times we refer to will match that.
General alliance group directions below:
ORDER MEMBERS: Your character should attend the event if possible, but if you are unable to take part then please write a self-para or some kind of interaction explaining your absence. Other characters who would otherwise be present e.g. Kingsley Shacklebolt, are still open characters so it is up to you whether you make an excuse for their absence or simply mention that they are there in passing but do not involve them very much.
DEATH EATERS: This event is not known about by the Death Eaters, so none will be involved.
NEUTRAL: It is unlikely any non-affiliated characters would be invited, unless they are particular friends with Dedalus or other Order Members e.g. Charity Burbage.
ORDER ALLY: Please attend if possible, as it is likely your character will be invited. Some people's other halves e.g. Ted Tonks or Arthur Weasley, are still open characters so it is up to you whether you make an excuse for their absence or simply mention that they are there in passing but do not involve them very much.
DE ALLY: The event is probably unknown to your character, so you will not be involved in this event.
As there will be no attacks or Death Eater presence, the event if not expected to have any drastic results or consequences.
It is simply a gathering of friends and acquaintances of Dedalus Diggle.
The location is to be decided by Dedalus Diggle.
During the course of the event, the layout and occurrences of which are down to players, mainly Alix (Dedalus).
The general happenings will involve conversations, perhaps speeches, and interaction between characters.
It is as much a celebration of Caradoc's life as Dedalus', because the group felt they should remember him somewhat.
Interaction can be done as gifchats towards the start of the event, but we would prefer if you could use mainly paragraphs as the event progresses.
You may start gifchats and para sets.
Tag all posts for the event, whether chats or paragraphs, as "tmwstarter" and "dedalus24"
Please interact with as many people as you can without backtracking over something you've written previously.
This is a medium where plans for other events can be made - e.g. planning a revenge attack on the Death Eaters. Any plans or suggestions for the future should be sent into the main and cleared with both of us.
Please do use the OOC to coordinate.
If you have any questions at all, please let us know on the main! :D
