Magical Hogwarts

These plots all sound really fun. I like the way they connect into one another and create new tensions for the magical world overall.

I whole-heartedly love all of that.

me too!

me three!

nah moving playtime too. We have been in this one for long enough. XD

Since the illness incedent happens at the end of the ball, i don't see a problem with it starting now. although i don't see any of my actual characters attending... Gabriella wouldn't go without dermod, Lara's... got Lara issues... and Niki wouldnt go unless someone invited her to go, considering dieter and konrad were both DEs.

and i like carys's idea of him not even realizing he's sick

I'm cool with starting the ball going.?á Will invitations have been sent out to all the adults and what not?

is the ball going to be for students from all three schools still?

I think we need more than one person actually doing the infecting, though we can still have just one bad guy. Imagine if twenty people want to be "initially" infected - that's a heck of a lot to dump on poor Morrigan if she's got twenty excited people all wanting a post from her NPC!

Disease spread - I like the idea of it being spread by physical contact or at least closeness rather than being airborne. If it's purely airborne then everyone will get it just from being in the room. The same virulence of a standard cold virus should be reasonable I think. That would also take two or three days for the first people to show up, and of course others can get it from that.

A cure - I would say they have a cure for one strain, but it isn't particularly effective and needs to be worked on. This gives those playing healers the chance to come up with something interesting and play out finding a cure if they want to.

New strain - see above. I am wondering about http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Scrofungulus' rel='nofollow noopener' target='_blank'>this as a disease we can work from. Little is known about it so we can add other symptoms. Personally I like the idea of coughing up something in the advanced stages, but something funny like glitter or daisies. Imagine instilliing a fear of glitter or daisies into the wizarding community! Plus I would also love to see one of the symptoms as temporary loss or weakening of magical ability. Imagine the panic! Everytime someone gets a spell wrong they don't know if its normal or if they're coming down with the disease!

symptoms - see above. Plus whatever else we can think of!

for the poison/disease thing, maybe those who are infected could develop visible 'magical' symptoms... maybe like a distinct rash purple and blue in color orr grows some weird thing on their body like antlers or a tail orr something like that with a more 'magical' touch to it [/quote] QUOTE ('Gabriella Costello link' dateline='1326248817') an idea i had, since diseases tend to move in stages.... first they're dizzy. this lasts for about an hour or two, depending on the person. accompanied by noises seeming either too loud, or too quiet. than, the whites of their eyes turn bright yellow-green and they start leaking black tears. shortly after this, maybe an hour or so...fever sets in, along with a caugh... as they gradualy get little red welts all over their body... several more hours later, they begin caughing up the same stuff they're crying.... start feeling incredibly weak, lathargic, like they have weights tied to their limbs. 12-18 hours after the dizzy spells set in.... Death. [/quote] QUOTE ('Ariana Laurier link' dateline='1326249077') Freaky.

Okay.... I tried to get things sorted out in my head... but we're having so many ideas floating around and we need some decisions. Are we having more than one bad guy?

Okay.... I tried to get things sorted out in my head... but we're having so many ideas floating around and we need some decisions.

Are we having more than one bad guy?

- is this a new strain of a known disease?
