Characters Involved: Aidene Kieran, Talbot Clifton, Firmin "Lore' Deadman

Usernames of each character, respectively: Diamond Wales, Addaellis

Have each of the above listed members fully agreed to the following plot?: Yes

What is your plot idea? Please explain in great detail: So, Talbot's cousin Terry has been basically driving Talbot further and further into debt as the years have gone by, and have culminated in Talbot losing his home to Terry's unmitigated spending habits. Because of this, Talbot has been trying to figure out a way to get out from under the crushing debt that Terry's leaving him with. He decides during a Hogsmeade trip that he'd stay behind instead of going back to the castle when he should. Aidene, curious about what Talbot's up to, decides to follow along and discovers that he's staying out later than he should. When Aidene discovers what he's up to, she offers to help by being a lookout and, failing that, a distraction while Talbot's trying to pickpocket people. Things go okay up until Talbot tries to pickpocket a seemingly middle-aged man. Talbot, using his metamorphmagus abilities to disguise himself, doesn't realize he's pickpocketing a vampire until Lore, smelling him, catches him and discovers that he's actually a student at Hogwarts. Eventually it comes out that Talbot is trying to do this to get out of debt, and Lore admonishes them to return to the school. However, this does plant a seed in Lore's mind to investigate exactly who the human child that pickpocketed him actually is, leading him to discover that Talbot is one of his descendants.

When do you plan for this idea to go into effect? Soonish.

What are the idea's drawbacks? (e.g. Does anyone get killed? Is Hogwarts going to have to suffer? etc.) No one dies, though Talbot and Aidene do get in trouble for staying out of the castle when they were supposed to come back from their trip into Hogsmeade. Terry, on the other hand, might have issues stemming from a vampire that just can't. Stop. Picking away at what's really going on.

Why are you interested in doing this idea? Mostly cause Adda wanted Aidene to meet Lore, and I wanted to start the ball rolling on Terry's ultimate downfall.

Anything else you would like to share about this idea? I just want pickpocketing shenanigans and people getting caught and hilarious distractions from Aidene X'3

Characters Involved: Dixie Lynn Walker, Miles McLellan, Clay Walker

Usernames of each character, respectively: Cara MiaKitty, Diamond Wales

Have each of the above listed members fully agreed to the following plot?: Yes

What is your plot idea? Please explain in great detail:
Annoyed that her brother has gone off to school and she has not, Dixie is going to take advantage of a busy night at TTB to sneak out and try to get to Hogwarts via The Forbidden Forest. Unfortunately for her, it's a full moon, and the Aconite pack is in the forest for their monthly run. Fortunately for her, they're all properly potioned-up, and not actually dangerous. Unfortunately for her, they have their wits about them. Miles (in werewolf form) catches Dixie and, recognizing her as the daughter of TTB's owners, promptly forces her back to the pub and returns her directly to her very annoyed father.

When do you plan for this idea to go into effect? ASAP

What are the idea's drawbacks? (e.g. Does anyone get killed? Is Hogwarts going to have to suffer? etc.) Dixie Lynn gets like, super grounded.

Why are you interested in doing this idea? Because it'll be nice to have werewolf shenanigans that don't end in a bite, and this is absolutely the exact sort of thing Dixie would do. Also it'll be funny later when Clay puts two and two together on who the werewolf that brought his daughter home was.

Anything else you would like to share about this idea? Nuh

Characters Involved: Ashton Bardsley, whoever wants to join in.

Usernames of each character, respectively: Diamond Wales, whoever wants to join in.

Have each of the above listed members fully agreed to the following plot?: I hope so, I warned everyone this was going to be wild 8'D

What is your plot idea? Please explain in great detail: Ashton has a very... not healthy home life. Between being blamed for his mother's incarceration and his father leaving the family high and dry, Ash has finally decided to stop being the good kid and just be as bad as everyone thinks he is. Because of this, he's going to start engaging in risky behaviors, such as drinking, getting into trouble, etc... He's also going to rope others into it because hey, if he's having fun, why not others? After a while it's going to become obvious that he's hiding something, because any discussion about his risky behavior is going to be deflected or joked about. However, a lot of his behavior is likely going to carry into the rest of his school years because hey, it feels good to actually let loose instead of acting like he's a meek field mouse.

When do you plan for this idea to go into effect? During fifth year and beyond.

What are the idea's drawbacks? (e.g. Does anyone get killed? Is Hogwarts going to have to suffer? etc.) Ashton does a lot of things that would make a nun blush, other students might join in, Amata and Steele might develop a drinking problem, nothing really violent or deadly however.

Why are you interested in doing this idea? Because for one, I haven't done this kind of character in a long time, and for two, I like seeing my characters suffer. (AlsoIneedtoapologizetothestaffandsuchbecausethisisn'tgoingtogoawayanytimesoon)

Anything else you would like to share about this idea? I'm sorry Amata and Steele! 8'D

Characters Involved: Yukon Knolle, Sparrow and Wren Winchester (more tangentially, friends of theirs like Eion Delacroix). Also NPCs Nimbus and Aria Siddall.

Usernames of each character, respectively: Stefan Lee Salvatore, addaellis. (more tangentially Cinnabun Gryffie)

Have each of the above listed members fully agreed to the following plot?: yes

What is your plot idea? Please explain in great detail: At the end of the summer 2052, tensions came to a head between Nimbus and his abusive stepmother. A confrontation turned violent and led to the deaths of both parents and, more tragically, his younger sister Aria. Wren, who lives next door, and Moira arrived too late, their skills too limited to save anyone. (All except Wren are npcs) In the aftermath, Yukon, Aria’s fiance, and Sparrow, Aria’s best friend, take it the hardest.

Yukon, only vaguely suspecting the abuse, had proposed to Aria earlier that week but not gotten a response. He arrived at the scene only in time to see she had accepted before dying. Yukon is devastated thereafter. He turns to alcohol in his grief. In the winter, Wren tells him to shape up, and he gets better for a few months before relapsing over winter break. Gets better only to relapse again in February due to associations with Aria’s birthday and Valentine’s Day. By mid-March 2053, he’s realized the alcohol isn’t helping and mostly pulls it together; by NEWTs he’s only drinking on the weekends and in much better shape.

Sparrow mourns the loss of her oldest best friend, and blames herself for being entirely oblivious to the abuse going on next door. After spending her 4th year in a rebellious fit after breaking up with Chadwick, Sparrow is basically an emotional stress pit wracked with guilt, hate, and grief. She tries a bit of alcohol (per the Drinking off the Rails plot), gets into spiking her drinks, and starts spiraling into risky sexual behaviors. This abates a little by the end of March, when she starts dating again, and she’s level-headed enough to take and pass OWLs. She relapses occasionally over her sixth year, but is mostly working towards a better lifestyle.
Yukon and Sparrow will have a conversation mentioning suicide, love, and grief on top of the Astronomy tower one day in Winter. Neither do anything besides talk, eventually drinks are brought out. They fall asleep for some poor prefect (Eion volunteers) to find and send them back to their dorms.

Other people in Nim/ Yukon/ Wren’s main friend group would have found out about this early on, and others might have heard about the tragedy. Wren does his best to be there for everyone in the aftermath, but is wracked in his own guilt, having discovered the abuse beforehand and not doing more to stop it. He’s sober and responsible through it though. This doesn’t break him.

When do you plan for this idea to go into effect? over the 2052-2053 school year (This is kinda a retro-plot XD)

What are the idea's drawbacks? (e.g. Does anyone get killed? Is Hogwarts going to have to suffer? etc.) Aria dies. Yukon and Sparrow grieve. Yukon indulges a little too much in alcohol and Sparrow spirals. I feel bad for anyone looking to these two for good examples.

Why are you interested in doing this idea? This is part of some of Adda’s long-standing plans to break Sparrow a little and do some NPC cleanup. Yukon and everyone else is kinda collateral, but also it seems to fit really well with the Drinking off the Rails plot!~

Anything else you would like to share about this idea? We’re focusing on the grief of our PCs rather than details on the death itself, although details may come up. Sparrow’s stuff has a lot to do with her own stuff as well, but it all kinda gets tied up here. I’ll also be submitting another plot request in about 2 years in regards to her. We're also open to whatever interactions with anyone else during this time!
