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!

Of course, mate. Hey, maybe you could go into business, yeah? I could help you put together some fliers, maybe some business cards. Moony's Magical ... something or other. What's another name for 'pests' that starts with M? Never mind, the point is, I'm sure there are loads of people out there who'd need a service like that.

[Peter grins. He's trying to help, to offer a solution to Remus' problem. Peter can't understand why anyone woudn't want Moony around. He's far more talented at everything over Peter. Just because he's a werewolf shouldn't matter. It wasn't like Remus was dangerous.]

Then I'd have to pay for a license, and handle all the Ministry fees and deal with all the restrictions... [Remus shakes his head, waving it off. Despite the dismissal, Peter's enthusiasm makes him smile.] There's only so much I can earn without doing all that, but it's better this way, to keep it low-key. Appreciate it, though.

[He really does appreciate it. It's always good to know he still has people in his corner.] I've just been putting in everywhere that hasn't already turned me down, at this point.

Something will turn up, I'm sure of it. [It's easier for Peter to remain positive when it came to his friends. They were full of talent while he had only barely skirted by at passing. If it wasn't for the others, Remus in particular, Peter never would have made it through. And thinking of Hogwarts gave him an idea...]

You know what we should do? We should go on an adventure, you know, like old times. Messers Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs back at it again. No talk of jobs, or families, or broken hearts - just us mates. I think it's what we all need.

[Remus chuckles, slowly making his way through Peter's chips.] Sounds lovely, Wormy, but there is the matter of curfew. I definitely can't afford to get a fine for breaking it, and it puts a bit of a damper on adventures, restricting them to the hours of 6 am to 10 pm.
