I won't make the Quidditch team... (And links for slash writers and RPers)

[thistlechaser]

Oh happy day, I did lots of work and wrote lots of stuff for the MUSH and did RL work, so I played some of the Harry Potter GC game! Woo. Today's school day: Flying lessons! Alas, I sucked some serious, serious ass. The controls needed a gentle hand, and whenever I missed a ring I needed to fly through, I tensed up and got wild with the joystick. Ah well, after twenty or so tries I finally got a C. Heh. I saved at that point. Eventually (maybe) I'll go back and improve it.

Before flying I found a mini-game where I could throw gnomes again! Yes, throwing gnomes is still (oddly) the most fun I've had in the game. I love zapping and stunning them, then grabbing them up and throwing them. Fun!

Oh, and I meant to link to this in the other post I made today. Check this out. Is that RL slash/TS or what? Man. It's sort of amazing and surprising to see someone living what I read, write, and (sometimes) RP about... I envy. :)

And this I meant to link to a while ago. I believe I found him off the friends list of satyr69 (from the link above). If you write/RP m/m and aren't male yourself, it's a great, great read. Gods, sometimes I want to be a guy so I can have sex with guys (eh, as a guy. You know what I mean.). Isn't there something really messed up about that?

You are one sick woman.
And so, obviously, am I.
This "one body per person" thing is tiresome, isn't it?

You are a freak, but we won't go there. I'd rather talk about the HP game. :)

The game somehow learns to compensate to your hand movements during that first lesson, so I might've actually advised *not* saving it, but oh well. You can go back and practice with Madame Hooch at any point during the day during the game, so no worries.

Wait until 'tomorrow', though. Heh heh. Heh heh heh heh... :)

There should be two mini-games where you can do that, the gnome tossing and gnome dunking. I'm replaying the game trying to get better at the gnome tossing. :)

Losing all my house's point-- eh, saving my housemate, you mean? I (poorly) snuck around the library, then went to the greenhouse, then saved him.

Yeah, but dunking costs five beans, and I only have one bean, so I haven't had a chance to play it yet.

Nope, that was Night 1 if I remember properly. Day 2... :)

You can get Bertie Bott Beans by casting flipendo at several vases, urns, and other things on pedestals throughout Hogwarts. And there is some place (I'm forgetting exactly where it is in the map) where you can Flippendo a couple of objects and get 10 beans/visit, as opposed to the rest where you generally only get 3-4.

Ah, silly me. I was thinking "ICly", not, eh, video game'ly. Hogwarts is my school, it's where I live, I wouldn't think I was supposed to flipendo things within it. :P

[tersa.livejournal.com]

Heeheehee. :) This is Harry Potter. He breaks the rules all the time! ;)

(Flippendo some of the students. They get cranky. It's amusing for a short while. Especially fun to Flippendo the Slytherin students. :)

I've read that in his LJ, yeah (and saw lots of photos!). And was he a roommate of Mallen's? Or a friend of a roommate or something? That's how I "discovered" satyr69, through Mallen's LJ.
