❝       AMORTENTIA finally opens its doors this week, and you don’t need the gift of second sight to see the greatness in their future ! i was lucky enough to be given a private tour of the refurbished & freshly charmed building by the visionary behind it all, madam amare - and it definitely didn’t disappoint. the themed rooms are an absolute delight, and the drinks menu ( lineup wholly dependent on the room you find yourself in ! ) puts the three broomsticks to shame ! i don’t want to spoil the treat you’re in for when you make your way through those lacquered doors for the very first time, but make no mistake : i fully encourage you to put aside your inhibitions and get down there as soon as possible ! you won’t want to be the last person you know having the full amortentia experience !       ❞

WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE :  

young wix have been complaining for years that there’s nothing worth doing for their age group on diagon alley. with no trendy hangout spots available, their business has long been taken elsewhere & into the streets of muggle london, which has never been ideal, but has always been the best they had available. their complaints were always valid, of course, but nothing ever really seemed likely to change until last october when the poison apple on knockturn alley was at the center of a newsworthy event. the successful nightclub ran into difficulties pretty immediately, when it became obvious that even though the werewolf attack had nothing to do with the location of the club... no one wanted to risk it, anymore. it took a long time for business to pick back up again, and eventually, the poison apple began to draw crowds again - but it was too late. one woman saw a rare business opportunity in their brief period of suffering, and like it or not - the concept of amortentia, soon to turn into their only real competition, was born. 

DIAGON ALLEY’S newest and only nightclub opens its doors this week in what first appears to be a cramped stone building but boasts over a dozen themed rooms in the spaces that have been charmed to be twice - sometimes three, four times - the size. among them, there’s one dedicated to cabaret, another that looks exactly like a stereotypical muggle speakeasy. everything in the aptly named love room is bubblegum pink, and small amounts of their namesake potion is added to hidden vaporisers - it’s not enough to do anything too worrying, but they’ve got research to back up the theory that walking in and smelling your deepest desired is the best way to sell drinks. there’s a room of mirrors, a dance hall of strobe lights, a classy rooftop lounge - and the vip area with its silver shelves of expensive liquors, private dj & blacklight covered dancefloor was booked out months in advance of opening by mikaela karkaroff for her shared birthday. 

whether you got your invite ( and the rooms password ) for the karkaroff twins bash, are part of the weasley family pub crawl for percy, are joining the gang to celebrate theodore’s belated birthday & draco’s early OR, godric forgive, are just looking for a night on the town - there’s something for everyone at AMORTENTIA, and on opening night, the back of hand stamp ( a bright pink picture of a familiar vial of potion ) is the hottest ticket in town. 

OUT OF CHARACTER:

information regarding mini event requests can be found in the server that i’ll link you all to when i link this post, but i’d just like to take this opportunity to explain the concept as thoroughly as i can ! we’ve always had the ic channels ( and enjoyed them ), and i’ve always wanted to find a way to incorporate member driven events to an rp where ... members feel comfortable enough to approach me about them, and where they’re able to be given their dues ! discord - and your willingness to engage with what i put down - has encouraged me to try this one more time, and trial the concept of what i’m gonna dub ‘mini events’.

they’ll run the same amount of time as any other & they’ll be treated as seriously, but they’re going to be based in their own server opposed to on the dash. you’ll have full control of the server - no worries there, you’ll be able to create channels for private & open conversations - and you’ll be able to rapidfire, but it’s allowing an opportunity to have something fresh to get into without overwhelming you, on the dash. they’re not meant to take away from regular rping at all - just keep the juices going, and provide an easier setting for anyone who might be on hiatus, or who just wants to do even more writing but can’t on mobile ! 

i’ve always been looking for the best middleground between ... under stimulated and over, and i’m really looking forward to trialing this new idea ! this first mini comes from me, and future ones will have to come from you, that’s where the ‘member driven’ comes in - but we’ll discuss it more later ! maybe do a vote ! for now, please just enjoy the amortentia opening ! 

the event starts today ( with the posting of this message ) and will end two weeks from now. 

on dash does not have to be paused, and please keep in mind that no event threads should be posted on the dash.  

it’s up to you whether your characters would attend or not, but i definitely encourage everyone to give it a whirl ! even if you’re just creating outfits and posting them in the relevant channel, you’re giving it a chance ! 

if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to message the main ! please like this post once you’ve read it.
