ORDER ONLY: Odds and ends
Jan. 12th, 2014 07:14 pmWe got the last of the women to Sherwood early last week, and we shall see how everyone settles in their various locations. Kingsley, Mac, Lee, keep an eye on them all, please? Sylvia asked for a wand at once, as did Jason, but several of the others are holding off until they get their feet under them, and some, I feel, will be staying away from magic for a good while yet -- both Aldrich and Sherwood have enough of a mixed population that it won't be a detriment, and we don't have enough wands to spare, so that's a blessing.
Pilar and Clara are finding their way at Moddey. There's a sizable group of girls around their age there, so I'm sure they'll slip in easily enough, and it helps quite a bit that Tricia, Lisa, Maureen, and Portia were in service until recently. Judith and Laura are seeing where they'd fit best in terms of their coursework -- Clara is a bit further along with her reading and writing, but Pilar is very good at picking up on Latin as she's got a good ear for languages.
Charlie, Bill, Melli’s received a missive from Ragnok the Pigeon-Toed regarding his nephew, Ragnik, who wishes to apprentice with her. He's written up a rather extensive contract (do all goblin contracts include a complete family tree? Apparently, this family traces back to Ragnuk the First, which seems to be a point of pride). I'd like at both of your eyes on it before we sign anything. Regardless, it's certainly a step in the right direction, and I'm pleased.
Frank’s been talking to Saltash about keeping Otto Strangeweale there permanently. He’ll be spending the next week there to sort out the remaining details, and figure out contingencies. There’s a risk, of course, but even were he to get free, we’ll make sure he’d be unable to recall how he ended up in Saltash, and I am convinced he’d be unable to contribute in any meaningful way to recreating the research his son was involved with. (Although, as I’ve said with Lee, simply knowing such experimentation is possible is quite dangerous in and of itself). He’d be isolated enough, but Order members with covers to maintain ought to be careful to not go out of their way to see him as a precaution.
Ron, Hydra, Draco, Pansy, Harry, I understand you’ve had quite a week of it. Please let us know what sort of help we can provide, no matter how small. I know it’s an unexpected turn, and you’re facing certain decisions rather sooner than I expected, but from what I’ve seen so far, you all have taken a rational and thoughtful approach (as much as one can with so many unknown factors) which is much appreciated.
Lastly, thank you for all those who could make it out to our Terry’s birthday dinner. It was so lovely to see all of you, and I believe we pulled off our surprise rather nicely! I know it's a few days away yet until your proper birthday, Terry, but many congratulations on your coming of age.
