IT'S BLOODY HOT IN HERE
(no, really. it's seriously hot.)
it's the summer holidays! a perfect time to travel, relax, spend time with loved ones and bask in the sun. the wizarding world is lively with energy at this time of year. everyone seems to want to make the most of their break before september comes around the corner and life returns to its normal, mundane pace. it has been especially exciting with the sporadic and strange appearances of old and new faces. some claim to be from a different world while others claim to be from a different time. then, there are the ones who have simply found themselves waking up to be remarkably younger or older. just remember to keep to your curfews, half-bloods and muggle-borns! those eerie disappearances are still happening in an increasingly alarming rate...


MINISTRY OF MAGIC



for the ones who don't have the good fortune of going on holiday, you won't have to worry about having nothing to do, especially if you're part of the ministry of magic! with all the anomalies happening, you're going to have your hands full registering, documenting, interviewing and/or helping with a multitude of busywork relating to the newcomers. or maybe your job doesn't have anything to do with that. maybe you're on the opposite end and you've been brought in. or maybe you're just a tourist and you want to see if you can catch a glimpse of the minister for magic. whatever your reason is, welcome and stay out of people's way!


DIAGON ALLEY



everyone loves to go shopping and what better place to do it than diagon alley? you'll find mills of people looking at all the different items on sale or on display in store windows. maybe you're here to purchase materials for the upcoming school year or you're out on a date with your significant other. or maybe you actually own or work at one of the many shops here. whatever your reason is, you better be ready for the crowd and the heat.


KNOCKTURN ALLEY



oh no! what are you doing here? turn back right now! knockturn alley is no place for you to be. well, at least it isn't if you aren't a dark arts practitioner or you're not part of some nefarious secret group. just turn around and go back to diagon alley. it's much nicer there, friendlier and safer. have you not heard about all the disappearances going on? you're only asking for trouble stepping into a place like this, even if it's remarkably cool here.


M.I.A.V.I.



not in the mood to go out? or maybe you're stuck in the waiting room at st. mungo's trying to figure out why you're suddenly 10 years older and you need a distraction. disregarding the reason, it's sure a good thing you've conveniently brought along your m.i.a.v.i. so feel free to browse the public network, create your own post, or private message someone!


OTHER

not interested in any of the options above? feel free to make up your own! the wizarding world is huge, so get creative with it. the setting is the summer of 1980. have fun testing out and shaping your characters, mingle with others, and start getting those crs down!

gasleaks: "love me love me" (his little whispers)

. . . Credence. [The reply comes after he's been led to the side of the street, like he's finally remembered you have to reply to people when they talk to you.] Sorry, I. Where am I?

[It sounds like a genuine question, at least partially because his accent is definitely Not British. He also looks really, genuinely confused at the whole situation so there's that.]
wolfymcwolf: (but not if you go with me)

[personal profile] wolfymcwolf 2017-07-30 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You're in Diagon Alley, in London. [He's heard about the people showing up from different times, people waking up older or younger than they'd been-- Credence must be experiencing something like that.

He's reluctant to send him to the Ministry, Merlin only knows how they'll shuffle him around. He can't just leave him here alone, though.]
Can I help you get anywhere, or find anyone?
gasleaks: (turn the sheets down)

[personal profile] gasleaks 2017-07-30 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
London. [He repeats it like an unbelievable thing, because to someone who has never been farther than the center of New York city, being across the ocean somehow is . . . sheer fantasy.

If he's that far from home, then . . . then of course the necklace doesn't work. It's probably works a bit like a telephone, you can't call someone across the ocean.]
Oh. Of course he can't find me here. I . . . does London have a MACUSA? Or some way to, to contact someone in America?
wolfymcwolf: (but the thought of fresh meat)

[personal profile] wolfymcwolf 2017-07-31 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the MACUSA is only in the United States. [Remus says kindly. It seems like an obvious fact, but he's not gonna pick on the boy when he's already clearly lost and confused. Especially if he's meant to be in the United States and suddenly found himself across the ocean. That would be disorienting to anyone.

Again, the natural place to send him is the Ministry, but Remus doesn't hold much fondness or trust for it these days. He doesn't really have any other answer to contact another country's wizarding government, though.]
Here, we have the Ministry of Magic. You could try sending a letter by owl, but that'll take a few days, and there'd be a fee to send it overseas... [And who he's trying to contact may not be there anymore, if he's one of the ones who's been displaced in time.] This will probably seem an odd question, Credence, but what year is it?
gasleaks: (creatures lie here)

[personal profile] gasleaks 2017-08-09 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. [Well, he does. He saw the date earlier on someone's Daily Prophet, but he's been having a little trouble reconciling the date with say from the last date he remembers - it's a long time from 1926 to 1974, and he's not entirely sure how that's even possible.] It was December 1926 yesterday, but . . . It's not anymore, is it?
wolfymcwolf: (they're gonna keep us alive someday)

[personal profile] wolfymcwolf 2017-08-10 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, it wasn't a difficult guess to make. He shakes his head.] I'm afraid not. It's September, 1980. You're not the only one this has happened to, there's been many reports of confused people showing up from the past or future. No one knows what's happened to cause it, but the Ministry claims to be working to fix it.

[Well that's an interesting choice of word there, Remus, they "claim" to be... Clearly he has the utmost faith in their ability to achieve results.] I'm very sorry, but the people you want to contact more than likely don't work there anymore. [Wizards may tend to live longer than muggles (barring unnatural causes of death), but it's very likely they've retired if nothing else.]
