Subject: BURN AFTER READING.
To whomever it may concern,
If you are reading this, it is because we believe you may possess the skills and temperament desired to join
ꂵ ꍏ ꉣ ꌗ. Our objectives are simple, and twofold.
The first is what it appears like on the surface. A twisted guild for like-minded spirits. M.A.P.S. hears the whispers spread across the castle and investigates, even if it means venturing beyond curfews and boundaries. Perhaps we'll storm the kitchens to emancipate house-elves, follow rumours of a Kraken in the Great Lake, or try and talk to centaurs in the Forbidden Forest. Hogwarts boasts a rich history of unexplained magical occurrences, incidents and events, not taught in History of Magic. M.A.P.S. enlists its members to explore the school grounds, interview persons of interests, and responsibly document our findings. For those in the pursuit of forbidden knowledge, beyond the sanitised version taught in class, we can help.
The secondary role, one that is less advertised, is more of a way to connect resourceful students and to create a group of skilled individuals who are at one another's disposal. An underground network of sorts. People might be adept at retrieving or spreading rumours, others may be skilled at charms or potions, some might have access to restricted texts or ingredients. Looking for something? No problem, we know a witch or wizard who can help. Looking for answers? Fortune tellings, readings, and a seer’s intuition at your disposal. Looking for thrills? We can be of service, if evenings of betting, elusive meetings and nights of revelry pique your fancy. The prerequisites are that you bring something to the table and you are willing to get in some trouble; this creates a sense of group loyalty and deters those who aren't willing to commit. For those who are not faint of heart, it might also interest you that M.A.P.S. will collate intel, keeping tabs on the entire school machine.
M.A.P.S. is multi-functional, a swiss-army knife at your own disposal. And it is exactly as it appears to be - a map, connecting students in the shadows.
Our first rendezvous shall take place on the second rise, where corridors thin. Where knowledge sleeps without witness. Knock on the door that answers no one. Find me before mouths are busied out of words.
We hope to hear from you soon.
Regards,
👁
Events ...Exploration of the Castle's Secrets - mini-adventures, investigating the grounds as a group, Nightly Patrol - prefects aren't the only ones who need to keep tabs of the castle... Trading Favours - penny for your skills? perhaps we can make some connections, A Living Map - tracking the locations of students is one thing, but mapping out the movement of information is another... Odds & Omens Night - an evening of cards, bets and glimpses into the future.
... OOC infoThink of this society as a plot hook and opportunity to RP with an array of people. Perhaps we really can use our network of skills to trade favours. I would like to build a society that grows in ranks, with more regular RPers forming an 'inner sanctum'. Meetings will be held sporadically and members will receive invites through coded messages/riddles. IC detention is a high risk, so join at your own peril. RPs may vary from nightly escapades, to organised events, routine meetings and possible overarching plotlines.
Notes from Regent...Thank you all for your eager show of interest and applications. Your suggestions have been invaluable in fully realising the potential M.A.P.S. has. Our operational headquarters has been set up. I look forward to working together. Please look at the following requirements before making your application - M.A.P.S. is an exclusive and demanding society after all.
(1)... I kindly ask that applicants have been on-site for 1 month before applying.
(2)... I will perform regular activity checks to ensure current operatives are engaged. If a user has been inactive for over 1 month, they will be removed from the roster.
(3)... In order to partake in RPs with initiated members, you must complete the Inauguration RP and/or the Letter to All Initiates Challenge! Please tag me in both posts!
(4)... Once you have RPd in both challenges, you will be added to the 'Known Operatives' list - this is the green light to join any RPs with the society!
- Regent
