Hey folks,

I went on a wander through the remnants of Hogwarts today and remembering all the good times. Kinda bleak imagery too. There was like a golden snitch with a broken wing, half a dozen or so discarded Blood Sucker wrappers, the Hogwarts express is derailed but the sex-stains are still in the upholstery (You know who you are). Yea it was depressing stuff. Just being back in this dark text box brings back so many memories. I miss it. I just wanted to reconnect and see if there are any of you Hogwarts folks still kicking around. We should reminisce over a Butterbeer sometime. Also what's good around here? Any new topics in the works? I'll be lurking, just wanted to let folks know I'm here.

I'm Zakk by the way, Also Locke, Mathias, Alex, Arian, Cyrus, Uhhh the Australian in Knacks, and Auguste Poe
Role call!

Aw yeah, good old Hogwarts. The floating candles in the great hall long since burnt out but the memory still shines on! Though it still makes me sad, I mean I know some of us Graduated or floated away to foreign schools or other hobbies but do they really have to put up the tomb stone when you type in the URL? Ouch. My heart strings. Also, my estranged friend, we're just starting up a new gothic-y adventure thread. The Department 7 stuff. Nice to see you again.

Signing in for Cordellia Brown, Morgan Neifion, Anya Penn, Kevin Sherbrooke, Claudia Blackwood, Cassandra, Sepia and all the little side characters in the past and future.

It's hard to save you from yourselves when the school has crumbled to dust but it was mostly worth the effort.  Tatyana Ravnos has long since graduated in an explosion of colour and Michael Styx has moved on but Amir Al Azif ibn Abdul-Aziz ibn Abdul Alhazred, Blossom Rose and Heinrich Vladimir Johannes Faust still lurk in those old shadows.  Even Devon Blackrose can still be seen stalking the night and trying to teach stray passersby to think for themselves.

Department 7 isn't exactly the same thing because instead of being a school it is a government department dedicated to 'bumping back', when things go bump in the night....

Yeah Cody had to delete the old site. Steph kinda ran it into the ground after we left with having no patience for new comers or wanting to do much to make them feel welcome. However, I have stated if you guys want to start something here and run it I am down for that. But I wont be throwing my hat into the moding ring on this one.

The other thread I'm kinda sad we lost was the one chani was running beyond gods and demons or whatever...

Department seven is a thread based of the white wolf world and a blend of basically Hellboy Zakk so it might be something to consider if you are bored.

Chani got married on Saturday, so I think she can be forgiven for slacking (but not on that thread!).  We might be able to coax her back. 

Personally, I miss changing of the guard and the Knack thread....

Matthias met up with his father's old companion and took the coffin plunge and is now a full fledged fledgling. Arian is all growed up but in need of some kind of story that get him away from his gorgeous puppetmaster Morrigan as her writer is busy living happily ever after. Anyone else I played can be scattered around. Crazy how I managed to post almost exclusively with Chani. I'll make new friends I promise!

Department 7 just made my face do one of these shapes :D and I'm totally up for COTG and or knacks, but since I'm in a work-heavy design school and being a superhero FOR REAL a few nights a week. (It's true, facebook will reveal Captain Wow! and as of tonight his arch nemesis The Cock) I'm not wanting to moderate as I wasn't very good at it when I wasn't super busy, but I'd love to get back into the writing mode.

Although much of the world is worried that something has happened to Hazmat Man because he hasn't been seen in a very long time. Did the villains actually win? Where are you, Hazmat Man????

The villains are many and devious but Hazmat Man will prevail, unlike Jimmy, the Angry Garden Gnome, who fell prey to the hose of a vac truck and is currently in hospital trying desperately to keep his arm....

No, I'm not kidding.

He was working alone and the hose kicked up, catching his arm.  He managed to get to within four feet of the truck controls before the hose got caught on something.  He was caught there, likely flopping around like a hooked fish until somebody working nearby noticed that he was in trouble.  God help him.

Don't feel too bad for him, he was probably trying to foil the mission from the inside. =_= Lawn Gnomes can't be trusted.

Also Shadow Lad, Dr. Temptation, Jingle Bitch (or Jingle Belle suggested by Bitty is also awesome), and Helvetica the disgruntled designer and her henchman Slug and Bleed. There's a comic coming out in a few months. I'll pass on a copy when it's done

Ah Hogwarts, where it all started...at least for some of you.... I miss it. And I miss my characters. Shalyn Lyons went off to Canada when her dad got sick, and has now graduated. Kali Case is miserably in love with Mathias eventhough they'll never be together. Lily DeWinter still harbors feelings for a certain Prefect, but knows it was just a school girl crush, and is now grown and working at the Ministry to hunt down Dark Wizards...one of which is her twin brother. After causing the curse that almost killed multiple people at the school, Liam tried to hide who he was and what he was becoming inside, but failed and dropped out of school and went into hiding. He has many kills to his name and is a top priority for the Ministry to find.
Cynara Nimrah raised her younger sister Layla in her small cottage in England, untill the girl was done her wizard training and moved out on her own. Now a black leopard can be found prowling the empty grounds of the school sometimes, especially the small island where a certain greenhouse that held special roses is located.
The other randoms I made all lived happily ever after.
