![](https://i.imgur.com/6XEkgEJ.png) The Ministers cordially welcome Kingsley Shacklebolt and Travers to the ORG of the Phoenix! While the exact scope of the adventure ahead remains uncertain, you are both fortunate indeed to be undertaking it together! The bond between you is thicker than blood, thanks to a lifetime of familiarity and the buildup of trust strong enough to endure even the most fundamental of disagreements. As family members, you will be... ...what's that? You don't recall - you don't... Wait! ... You WHAT? Well. Ah. It seems there may have been some unexpected ummmm side effects of your transfer to this realm. There were after all a small number of memory-related charms employed in shielding the arenas and... well these seem to have exceeded their limits and backfired... somewhat. You have our sincerest apologies. As recompense, the Ministry can offer you the gift of time: three full days during which you may reacquaint yourselves with one another. Consider this period to be a kind of extended Day 0, if you will, before we kick off the Games properly this Sunday the 1st of May at 8:30pm AEST. On that official Night 1 you will be introduced to the other participants, learn more details of what shall unfold here, and begin the regular structure of The ORG of the Phoenix. But until then you have only one another for company, and only in this Floo Network board. This space is yours to do with as you wish, but we hope that over the next three days you manage to accomplish at least the following: 1. Read and sign the Rules & Expectations thread. In addition to these Game-long rules, you may not send any PMs during Day 0. 2. Get to know your partner! Please do not share any IRL or casting details which could compromise Closed-ID rules. Until we have found a way to disable the Memory Charms, it is wise to treat these wayward charms with extreme caution, unless you wish to die a very painful death. (See the House Points thread for more details.) But also... don't let that stop you from bonding together! Talk about yourselves as the marvelous characters you are, discuss your plans for this game, buy a magical pet together, and do try to puzzle out how exactly you are related. 3. Once you feel ready, have a crack at the Opening Challenge. All the details you need are in the designated thread but the key things to keep in mind are that it must be completed before Day 0 ends, and that you should arrange to play it at a time when both of you will be online. It is in part a test of your teamwork, so we encourage you not to rush into it; get to know one another first and leave it for later in the weekend. 4. Enjoy yourselves! Relax together while you can, because come Sunday night things will take a turn for the... fantasmic. That's all for now! See you on Sunday.

I think you mean the more space there is for to hit ya when I'm aimin! Next time I find a big ole ripe one, I'm gonna use your colossal dome for target practice, then we can be a REAL team and have matchin' blood stains on our clothes. I mean, raspberry stains, yeah! Surely not blood on this one, no not me! You're not a NARC are ya, Shackie?

Waittaminute, ain't you like literally a wizard cop? I don't know much about me recent history since I been takin' the grand ole Azkabanishment Tour, but I know's a cop when I see's one!

The last thing either of us wants is for a hoard of dementos to show up, so we're gonna make this WORK or die trying, ya hear!?
When do you want to do this challenge, fool!? I need to throw my times into a calculator because I'm also on the Alakazam tour and probably not lining up one hundo percent. But when the time is right, Kingsley Shackleboot will be there!

Oiiii don't threaten me with a good time, ya bumblin' lumbergiant! Speakin' a calculators, I need one to convert everything to AEST. What? Never said I was an arithmetic genius, I'm clever in other ways...okay, well maybe not so much. Gonna warn ya lad, not so great at the challenges (obviously me great looks are what get me by), and it's a pretty busy weekend for yours truly, so I'm trying to figure out a time I can be on here to do this.
I should know by later on tonight, so keep your big dumb ears open!

And you think I'm not a walking disaster? Hahaha don't make me laugh! Oh wait I just did, guess it's too late for that! But it's fine, Travers, we may be a couple of juggalos but we'll still bumble through this like a good ol buddy cop film! Even though I stand by that All Cops Are Mugbloods, I still love a good odd couple teamup film!

Of COURSE you'ra walkin' disaster, I have me eyes, don't I?
Cutting to the chase, I'll be creepin' about the board for the next couple hours, so let me know if ya wanna set up a time to get this done in that time frame.

Oiiiii NARC, I'm gonna head on off here because I requires me beauty sleep - gots to get my shuteye in if I wanna keep these immaculate pores, yeah? As I said, I'm fairly busy tomorrow but we might be able to set aside some time to do it if we can pick something early. If all else fails, just go ahead and try it without me, but I'll do what I can to be here - we gots to start this thing off right, RIGHT?

Post by Kingsley Shacklebolt on Apr 30, 2022 15:57:36 GMT 10
RIGHT!!
Busy is the word of the week, but I'll try to crawl onto the board early in the morning for some buddy cop action.

Beauty sleep was a success. I feel immaculate now, practically glowing, ya? I'll be around for the next two hours or so, but then I gotsta go Muggle huntin' which will take most of me day here. I'll be checkin' back to see if we can manage to be here at the same time for a change

K lad, there's brooms that needta be riddin' and blood that's waitin' to be cultivated, so I'm afraid I'm off to perform my duties to society. We might be able to find a window while I'm slaving away under the MAN today, but otherwise I'll have about an hour window around 7ish hours from now? How to math? Like, around 8am on the AEST accordin' to this here board clock.
And if not, ya can always try to do it alone, but if you're free during that time we can put this teamwork magic to the test, yeah? Try not go NARCing on me while I'm gone! Ole Travers has eyes n ears everywhere round these parts!
