[thisonetime_withellis]

WHO: Hogwarts student body!
TONE: Partaaaay
RATING: Who knows where this might go, let's say NC-17 to be safe
WHEN: April 10th
WHERE: Keith's place in Portsmouth
WHAT: Keith's family is away, so of course he's throwing a crazy party. Everyone is invited. If you don't know him, no problem! If you don't like him.. there's free food, booze and a good time, come anyway! Chances are you won't even see him. Maybe.
STATUS: Ongoing!

[Of course the first thing he's going to do upon finding out his parents are going away for a few days at the end of the holidays is organise a house party. In one of the rare occurrences when what he plans is actually what happens, he even has food and drink and some awesome music, and has already plied the neighbours with a bottle of wine so they'll not call the police when things inevitably get too loud.

Always thinking.

He'd made sure everyone knew what he was doing, do you really want to miss this? Do you want to deal with his face after the holidays if you don't show up..?]

You can borrow anythin' you want, just get them back to me at school.

[He grins.]

That's cool. Most wizards don't know what an Xbox is if you drop one on them.

[marshall_lee]

Oh it's okay. I have a pretty big collection of games and music. I have shit I haven't even finished yet. I tend to get sucked into one thing for a while and then forget about finishing other games.
[Marshall nods.]
Too bad. I like video games. They're a great way to zone out for a while.

[thisonetime_withellis]

I know, right?

[Keith is one of those perpetually cheerful people, where you always wonder how they're managing to stay so chipper all the time.]

Hey, maybe I can borrow some shit from you?

[marshall_lee]

There's always too many cool things put out at once sometimes.

[Totally okay with Marshall. He's usually an upbeat guy himself despite his unlife.]

Sure! I can zip up some mp3 files and send you music over the summer if you want. Game wise I can just send stuff to you.

[thisonetime_withellis]

Wicked, I'll give you my email before you go, you can send 'em to me, right?

[+10 cool points for you Marshall.]

[marshall_lee]

Sure thing. [Marshall pulls out his cell phone and hands it over.] You can go ahead and put yourself in my contacts. I have unlimited everything so you can message me too.

[Tech savvy vampires ftw.]

[thisonetime_withellis]

Awesome.

[Tech savvy wizards in general, ftw. The biggest similarity Keith's found between wizards here and wizards in the US is they have no idea what to do with a cell phone if you give them one.

He taps his number and email in and saves it, handing the phone back.]

You still thinkin' of heading out to Europe in summer?

[marshall_lee]

It's nice to see someone else who knows how to operate a phone. Maybe in another hundred years Wizards will catch up.

[Marshall fiddles with it for a second by adding a ringtone to Keith's name for a moment before putting it back in his pocket.]

For sure. My place is slightly south of the Fens so I won't have too far to travel. As soon as summer starts I'll make a few calls and get the tickets to the festivals for everyone.

[thisonetime_withellis]

My parents are muggles. Brothers too. It'd be pretty fuckin' weird if I didn't know how to use this stuff.

[He digs into his pocket for his own phone and offers it to Marshall for him to put in his own info.]

I miss it when we're at school, though.

[marshall_lee]

I'm a half blood myself. Dad was the wizard, but he split when I was a baby so it was just me and my Mum.
[He takes it and enters his number, email and IM info into it and hands it back.]
Me too. I miss my recording equipment and my electric guitar. I always feel bad leaving her behind.

[thisonetime_withellis]

You'd think the wizardin' world would have thought of a way to make sure muggle tech works around magic.

[He fiddles with his phone, assigning a specific ringtone to Marshall, then pushes it back into his pocket.]

[marshall_lee]

You'd think. I know there are ways to modify Muggle stuff so magic works on it but it's a lot of trouble.
