[I]Blood. The carrier of life energy. Too often they ask that it be shed, sacrificed for the ambitions of the powerful. But with the right knowledge, it can be used to heal. To create life. This ancient witch knew this... how did she do it? Was it hereditary, and if so could she have any living...

[I]I have received a message from Britain. It appears I must postpone my investigations until a later date. The vampires have finally shown their hand, as I suspected they would. But I cannot return just yet. There is one more stop I must make for now, to equip myself with the knowledge...

I am distinctly not a fan of the character limit on posts in this website. Breaking up a post into multiple parts is never fun

(3/3) For those who believe they would be a good fit for Ursanor, here are some extra details to support your newfound pride. Ursanor's house colors are purple and white, and its crest is a white bear on a purple field with white stars (to represent the milky way). Ursanor's Head of House...

(2/3) Utgard prized creativity, spiritualism, and independence, and taught that magic should be used to create beauty and express the soul of the mage. He was famous for his work in divination, particularly Rune-casting which he adopted from Norse wizards and perfected, and enjoyed many talks...

(Non-RP) (1/3) So, I had an idea for a thought-experiment that I wanted to pursue, and I wanted to share my results here. That thought-experiment poses a simple question: What if Hogwarts had a 5th house? The easiest part of this was the primary house color, which I decided should be...

[I]I grow in knowledge, but true understanding still eludes me. For every clue I uncover, another mystery springs up for me to chase down. For every milestone I cross, another lead appears to throw me in a different direction. And all the while the dark forces gather and plot, readying their...

[I]East and south my travels take me, far beyond the borders of the known. I travel most often under cover of night, keeping H and Scout out of sight. I have been stopped a few times by Aurorlocks of other countries, but they have never detained me for long. We are all so different, so varied...

[I]It has taken far, far too long to find a method of bypassing the ench[/I][B][I]a[/I][/B][I]ntments here, but at last I have what I've [B]b[/B]een searching for. Recent events have taken away too much of my attention, and rightly so. Violence has reached even the st[B]r[/B]eets [B]a[/B]bove...

[I]A strange set of runes mark this stone, barely perceptible. They are a warning of some kind... possibly a curse. I must find a way to either bypass or nullify the magic here. I know there is danger and dark magic here, but the very presence of these runes makes my heart race... for why would...

[I]Day after day I return here, digging through rubble, water dripping, fires long gone cold. I begin to wonder whether anything useful is left, or if it was all destroyed. But surely he left behind something... something that could be of use to me now.[/I]

Day 19: No... this can't be! They can't seriously be planning... I have to get out of here, now! I have to warn them. If only I had found the files sooner... It's so obvious now. The decreased number of guards, the papers that were recovered from the Aurorlock Manor... they've been planning...

Day 18: It took longer than anticipated, but Scout has retrieved the special item. The Aurorlocks were smart, it took a lot of searching to find where it was stashed. But when you've got an ally that can morph to mimic any key, no lock stands a chance. There seemed to be less Aurorlocks hanging...

Day 17: Over the years, many people have attempted the "smuggle a prisoner something useful in a cake" trick. This may be the first time, however, that the useful thing IS the cake. They never saw it coming! The "chocolate cake" arrived in my cell earlier today, already cut into by Aurorlocks...

Day 16: It is finished. The subject's vital signs are normal, and it appears to be reacting to external stimuli. I've directed H to perform a few tests on the subject. Cellular recombination and regeneration seem to be operating as anticipated, though it does not show any reaction akin to pain...

Day 15: After so many days of radio silence, H has finally returned to London and within range of the link! I am so incredibly relieved. I was beginning to believe he had been captured or destroyed along the way. But not only has he made it back in one piece, he has also acquired the necessary...

Day 10: The lab has run out of a number of crucial components: mandrake root, phoenix tears, and mercury just to name a few. H will need to venture out to gather these materials, or else the plan will not succeed. Naturally I am concerned... H will be traveling out of range of the link, so I...

Day 9: H is making steady progress, but I still feel a sense of unease... there are too many things that could go wrong here for my liking. If the Ministry figures out what I'm planning, it'd be the end. If they spot H in public, it'll raise too many unwanted questions. And then there's the...

Day 6: It's taken some time, but I finally managed to pry open the ventilation system. It's far too small for me to fit through, but perhaps something smaller could make it... I've sent H back to the lab to begin work on the new project. He is a fast worker, just as fast as me, so he should be...

Day 3: There are certain advantages to my current predicament, as I am now discovering. While I myself cannot move about freely, I am also protected from any assassins or assailants by the thick metal bars. Moreover, I'm at the heart of the ministry... a perfect place to discover the truth of...
