No Sugar, All Spice

[Ariane Chan]

Meh, I'm a lot more freer now, since most of my hectic life has calmed down, thankfully. :D So I'm looking for a few more posts... Even though I've got quite a few left to reply to, some of my characters are still itching to be roleplayed more. My roleplaying activity really has gone down over the last... year? And I've so many characters that I only give a little time to each, and they're complaining. ;)

I'm only looking for interesting posts, though. Not necessarily a plot post, just something interesting to keep the inspiration and thread alive. :) Boring ones are so hard to write for, after all. So, if you think you want a decent post with one of my charries - fast replies not definitely guaranteed, but I do guarantee my best (it just depends on schoolwork really) - then yay! :D

Charries who want to be on the loose (and uh, it would make sense if charries were 5th Year or upwards:

Ariane: she's always so hard to post with, so she'll only post with characters who can deal with her distance - characters who will either challenge or annoy her. Basically, I need characters who can actually evoke a reaction from her that isn't just, Go away I want to be on my own *walks away*. Lol.

Aurora: my happy-go-lucky kid would like a postie with someone she doesn't know - so probably a Slytherin. Something slightly confrontational. Aurora never confronts people, so someone who'll also challenge her in a different way to Ariane. Someone needs to break Ariane's distant walls - with Aurora, they have to break her smiles.

Seth: my dorky boy has really been neglected lately and he's very sad. :( So, well, he's the most flexible. He's amusing, whoever I post him with. He's so clumsy and silly... so, either someone who'll laugh along with him will do, or someone who'll berate him. Not a bully, though. I don't want his feelings completely hurt... ;) Seventh Years preferably, methinks.

India: okaaay, do not post with India if, like Ari, your charrie isn't going to provoke a reaction. So Slytherins only, methinks. With girls, she will react to understanding now, so she may make friends... (I say that vaguely, lol). But most likely she'll just end up coldly arguing with them. She reacts well with frustrating, annoying Slytherin men. Goodness knows why. Cyrus and Drake are two great examples. xD;;

Dakota: D is pretty flexible - she'll post with anyone, but to make it interesting, she wants either men she can flirt shamelessly with or girls she can gossip or smile sickly at. I haven't had a thread like that yet. *nod*

So yeah. Tell me if you're up for it. And remember - interesting threads, interesting ideas! :D I'm up for anything crazy. Once, I had an idea to have three characters switch bodies. It didn't work out because 1) too complicated really and 2) didn't have the time. But yah. Craziness is good. :D

Oh, and any number of posts should be fine... Heh. I've taken a lot worse. ;) (Then again, I didn't have exams. Yeah. xD)

[Julius Lionheart]

I'm pretty sure I could post with you as Julius, I have tons of free time lately, and so I'll be catching up with everyone else I post with today and tonight. As to who to post with, I think I will let you decide. As for ideas on the thread, I usually wing it, yeah I know that sounds bad, but that's how I usually do stuff, no planning at all.

[Oscar Flynn G7]

I owe you that post still. >.< I actually wrote it! Promise. It was alright too. But these freaking powercuts wiped it. We've found the trigger - having the dishwasher and the dining hall's dimmer lights on at the same time shoots it, but also because our lighting man hammered a nail into the light switch that was pushing against the dimmer light's wire, which is stupid and dangerous and apparently we could sue him for 987249384 billion. Or just report him to his company, but yes. :3

Uhhmm. What was my point?
Oh yeah. I actually want a post with Dakota and Oscar at some point. Not right now, but at some point. Or Oscar and Ari - he'd be amused because he'd know about the Jez+Ari stuff - but would be too indifferent to her hostility to care, thus just ramble like the good little Flynn he is... on the other hand, a post with D would annoy her because he would be utterly immune to her charms, seeing as his head is full of his darling little dancer 24/7.

Up to you. Perhaps in a couple of weeks though... *stares at piling coursework and revision* Ooer. And yes, after that post I still owe...

[Ariane Chan]

Justin: Oh, I don't plan posts anymore so much either - I just meant, to have a good idea for the post, like, I don't know - have Seth fall into the Lake with someone. xD;; Would make the post much more interesting than two people having an awkward, typical conversation. ;)

As for charrie, well... I don't know much about Julius. Tell me a bit more about him? :)

I will reply with Theo at some point, but it's rather low on the priority list right now. That and Theo has no inspiration... oddly enough. Hence why he's not listed up there. He doesn't need anymore posts, lol!

@astrid: Oh no! :O You should definitely sue that guy!!! D< He got rid of your Cyrus post! ACK!
But, lol, don't rush if you don't have the time. I do want to post my darling India, though. ;)

Looool, D/Oscar is a very odd and funny combo. Throw Theo walking in on them and it would be totally hilarious. xD As for Ari/Oscar, yeah - she knows who he is anyway. I don't quite know she'd react to him, really... Rather indifferently, I suppose. He would have to do something outrageous or the two of them would have to be locked in a room for something to really unfold in an exciting direction. ;)

Oh yeah, we should totally do a Cyrus/D post a few months later when D is all dark and scary. :D

But yes. Later. :D

[Oscar Flynn G7]

Aeeee, Theo would just find it hilarious right? Aahha that could be a totally cute post. And a major downer for D, given the fact that someone genuinely doesn't want her. Poor girl.
Mmm Cyrus would be disgusted. She's too young. But maybe amused - see her as a pretty toy or something.


'Sometimes, it was hard being Ariane Chan's best and only friend.'
That was nice. :K

[Ariane Chan]

Lol. Aw, thanks. I think Aurora does sometimes feel... suffocated. She's the one smiling, the one keeping her chin up. I think she wants to scream at the world that she gets sad too. Heh.

Haha, indeed. She'd be like, Whoa, a fit guy doesn't like me?
Then when she figures out he's gay, she'd find it totally hilarious and would forget all about it. xD;;

Well, D won't throw herself onto Cyrus. Rather, she'll hate him to bits. Men in general. So. Yeah. xD Even more than India, which is saying something. Stephen's going to ruin poor D. *dramatic sigh*

[Julius Lionheart]

Hmm, Julius is my flirtatious jokester who loves to meet and greet. He's pretty easy going, although he can sometimes be a bit of a hot head when it faced with shall we say, snobs. He likes to help others, and is musically artisitic. He likes to make friends, and considers it his goal to get people to be friendly.

[Oscar Flynn G7]

Aww. Julius should try and break my little Ruthie. (: She's not cold in the sense that India is - but she's... wary of opening, of people knowing her secrets. :3 So she'd readily accept new people for conversation if they're not total idiots - and if she's in a good mood and he manages to make her laugh, she won't hide it...

And ohhh okay Viv. More interesting. Pfff, but how can she resist Cyrus? -shudder- Dang I love my Slyth ahha. He's so beautifully repulsive. I want him. :K

[Julius Lionheart]

Sounds good to me Astrid, the more I post, the better my quality will get. It would be fun too, if you want to we could post in a few weeks when you're not busy.

[Esmeralda Mendez]

Hmm I've got a few possibilities for you.

Dakota/Carson: That would be an amusing one. No explanations needed.

Dakota/Riley: Godric's Daughters, Queens of Slytherin--I'm thinking these girls are bound to be enemies. Oh one more thing. Maybe Angela could join in on that little group?

There’s more, but I’ve got to run. Pm if you have any more possibilities.

[Derek Alsbrow]

Derek could use a post with Hermie...=P xD

Totally understand your position though Viv.

I wish we could get a post going, I've always loved writing with you...Just don't have any ideas. All I've got is Jack, Matt, and Derek. Valmer will be back as soon as Derek's at 10 posts though, so if you're up for helping me bring him back to the fold...;D

[Ariane Chan]

@justin: Hm, lol. The obvious pairing would be Julius/D, but such a post would be rather typical. If Julius likes to make people talk, he'll find India and Ariane a challenge. India will be more willing to talk, but Ariane is less cold than India, definitely. *shrug* I leave the choice up to you. Just don't bank on getting a new friend in either girl, haha. Would you be all right starting? If not, I'm sure I can get something up within the next week. :) Oh, and any ideas of what situtation to throw them in?

@astrid: xD Indeed. Well, after Stephen, I think D will be able to resist any man. *cackles darkly* Death to all men! I think my characters are all afraid of love. What does that say of me?! xD (I'm the complete opposite, psh.)

@nat: Myu, I haven't posted with you in ages! So a post would be great. Both sound really good, but Dakota/Riley really appeals to me. D even mentioned Riley in her post for August (and I apologise for what she called her ><). I think D would really rile Carson and she's already done that to Stephen, so something fresh with a girl would be cool. You start or shall I? And any interesting ideas on how to start the post?

@justin (the other one xD): Oh yes, a Hermie/Derek post. ^^;; I kinda forgot... I'm putting her off all the time and have yet to even start on replying to Adam and the other threads I owe! *bites nails* Gah. Sorry. I'm just really not feeling her. But of course, I'm up for a post - we need to, hahaha. Do you mind starting? Since it would make sense for Derek to approach Hermie. Hogsmeade, methinks? That would bring Derek to ten posts. :D

[Julius Lionheart]

Okay, then I believe I shall choose Ariane, seing as she is a fellow Gryfindor, I think it would make the most sense. As for the situation, I think this calls for old falls out of the sky routine. I'm not sure why I like this idea, but it sounded appealing in my head. I can get a post up tonight or tomorrow maybe, so if I do I'll send you the link.

[Riley Coxen G7]

Hmm none really. Maybe we could do like a sort of summit meeting post? Like the Queens and the Daughters recently got into a huge fight (Dakota or whoever the Queens' leader is stole Erica's boyfriend maybe?) and Riley is sent to come up with some sort of compromise but all they end up doing is fighting? Or it could go another way of course.

Or we could try something else...maybe a detention? Or....hmmm. Hogsmeade? Dakota could develop an interest in Jack and Riley could try to err...."protect her territory?" hehe. I dunno. You choose.

[Casey Allen G5]

Hmm, well you have a pretty good little list going but I can't help myself. Plus I haven't posted with you in ages aside from Lori/Theo posts. Oh I owe you a reply and it will probably be up in the next few days because I only owe one post right now.

So ideas:

We'll Casey is temporarily unavailable. So that leaves Lori and Damara.

Aurora/Damara: Hmm how well does Aurora do with death threats? Damara would only do so if there was a reason...hmm maybe Aurora walks in on a meeting of Damara's 'group'? Haha. Aurora and a gang together makes me giggle. Then again this would be interesting because Vincent would defend his fellow Huffle and Damara would feel conflicted for once.

Lori/Seth: Dunno why this seems cute to me. This could be fun. Perhaps Seth helps raise Lori's spirits? Ha wouldn't be too hard for him methinks. Specific ideas: Seth could attempt to teach Lori Quidditch..that would be hilarious to watch, hmm that whole falling into the lake thing you mentioned earlier, or an idea you can think of cause that's all I've got.

Damara/India: This could either be a very good thing or a very bad thing. No specific ideas yet, but I'm sure something could be thought of. Damara isn't really in the gossiping or popular crowd at all, but I'm sure India could find something to be annoyed by. Or if the other girls melted down they could actually act civilized..but I don't know if that could work.

One day I want a post with D, but Damara would want to strangle her and Lori would just smile and then politely walk away unless she was insulted so those are probably not good ideas for now.

So watcha think?

[Ariane Chan]

@justin: Sounds good to me. :D Thank you!

@nat: I think the Queens are much too civilised, unfortunately, to get into a fight. Technically Mary is the 'leader'... There is no leader really, unlike for the Daughters, but she is the oldest and most experienced - probably the one with most influence. D, Jo and Kailyn are newbies, so they're just learning the ropes. I doubt any of them would get into a physical fist or wand fight 'cause Mary and Ruby are too sophisticated for that, and the younger three aren't particularly aggressive... Just spoilt, uptight and whatnot. ;)

But I think something along the lines of D versus Daughters is good for now. D could probably steal one of the Daughters' boyfriends and Erica can send the group onto her - or just Riley herself to deal with D. To be honest, D will flirt with Jack but I don't think she'll find him interesting or fun enough. She likes toying with taken men, but let's just assume she's tried to flirt with Jack before. ;)

Or... Actually, I have a rather amusing idea. We could have D grab Jack and before he knows it, plant a kiss on his lips. And thus, Riley would react, hm? ;D And although D will not usually take your wand out, if Jack and Riley do, she may do so herself... along with any minions with her. *snickers*

@maryn: Aurora and Damara is such a good pairing, but I really like the idea of India and Damara. I'd like them to become friends, actually. Just because they are both very insecure people... Yes, different sorts of people, but similar in weird ways. xD I could imagine them to be very odd friends - not acknowledging a friendship but still talking to each other, confiding things, etc. India can talk about Drake, Damara about Nico? We could have them have a mini confrontation first, but eventually realise there's no need to fight... Well, India's not the fighting sort. She'll probably see sense first and tell Damara to calm down. Lol. Situation-wise, we could have the two girls locked somewhere and they're forced to work together. xD

I think Lori and Seth are adorable. I can see him liking her really, if he wasn't already technically with Willow. I can at least see them being good friends. :) I love the lake idea, but I think the Quidditch one sounds just as good.

So, it's up to you if you want to do both or just the one. :)

[Casey Allen G5]

Hmm I can handle both if you can. I agree with what you said about India and Damara. They are both sort of broken in kind of similar ways. And I can see them in a round-about way becoming friends, like you said it. And that idea of working together after being trapped sounds good.

As for Lori and Seth. Yea they are too cute. If Lori wasn't so confused right now she would probably really like him but I can defiantly see them becoming friends. Hmm I think the Quidditch idea gives more to work with in terms of them having a good time. So lets go with that.

As for starting, I can start the Lori and Seth one fairly quickly. I basically have the week off due to underclassman testing. I can start the other if needed but I do feel like I would mess up the beginning. But I could always try.

[Ariane Chan]

Of course I can handle both! (I think. xD)

That'd be great, thanks. :D And I'm happy to start the India/Damara one, no probs. I'll owl you when it's up or post it here. :)

[Angela Merciano S7]

Lol I love the last one especially. Would Jack actually post in that one? We might wanna ask him abou that.. But yeah sounds like a plan. Riley would be pissed.

[Lori Leigh R6]

Post up in the Grounds though I doubt that Seth will be able to do anything but laugh when Lori gets on a broom.
