Tom Clancy's Harry Potter and the Muggle War (FF: Wizards Vs. Muggles)

The Troubles, Mark Two. Ireland will have such great fun with it. O'Connell should still be a valid character, I think.

I can barely remember him, might as well throw in another Irishman.

EDIT: Well, I think I know what I could do with him, apologies for what's basically going to be a huge change in personality.

>Troubles Mk II
NAE WAND, NAE FAIRIES, NAE MAGIC. WE WILL NOOT BE HEXED AGAIN!

Also, Wysp. I'm sorry for sucking really hard, but I did pull a fast one on you, though it onion sky wasn't fast enough.

Your response now makes little sense (or rather, it could, but I don't know how you meant it to sound). Would you like me to edit the post back to reflect its original meaning?

EDIT: Obviously, not onion sky. But I just can't bring myself to change "onion sky" in that sentence.

And done.

Good Friday's been hard on the poor lad. Can't blame him.

I was going to award bonus points to anyone who can rewrite Drunken Lullabies into something thematically appropriate for WvM, but then I remember Rena's other filks and what resulted therefrom, and I thought better of it.

Order received, will do!

It'll be almost as good as when I started singing on-the-fly Sabaton rewrites.

So one thing I learned today is how badly we got the geography of King's Cross station completely wrong; from the place where our team made entrance to the Platform portal is less than a hundred meters and a completely open and clear sightline.

...oh. Oopsie. Welp.

brb, hara kiri.

To be honest, I was fully expecting that I'd hosed up the geography of King's Cross somehow, but being a third of the globe away, there wasn't much I could to do confirm distances and sightlines for myself.

Today was the first time I'd hung around there for any appreciable length of time, so...

Goddamn faulty Intel...

I think I'll post at the end of the current section of the firefight. Probably with a comment of "First time being shot at."

You know, April Fool's is easy to fall for when you've just woken up and the "news" you're being told wouldn't be something you should lie about normally.
That's why my dad waking me with "North Korea has entered the DMZ." was so effective.

But it got me wondering: What's the chances that North Korea are trying to train an army of Wizards?

...Trying? Not bad. Succeeding? Slim to none.

Especially since any wizard worth their salt would apparate the hell out of there.

Oh man, could you imagine? North Korea's wizard manages to make fire after ten years of trying, newspapers go crazy with how strong NK has become, and the possibility of war.

Also, NK entering the DMZ is more feasible than Japan finally admitting that Dokdo is Korean.

To be blunt, North Korean politicians are so crazy I expect to see the Korean War igniting in my lifetime.
Though, another point has been raised in my mind: What of other totalitarian dictatorships training their own Wizards?

I imagine most totalitarian dictatorships have a very small amount of wizards living there because they can very easily just... leave.

Also, most of society's going all "Wizards are real! WTFF!! Kill them!", which would probably make training them kind of... hard. Since you'd have to find them in the first place and most of them are probably either fighting back, doing the "do unto others before they do unto you" thing, or hiding away somewhere.

NK wizards? Don't you put that evil on us.

Also great points.

And also, Ireland's Post-Reveal Civil War would probably be less Troubles, more Revolutionary/Civil War. That was worse. Quite worse.

So who are we waiting on?

I'm not gonna post yet, feels awkward to butt in just now.

I could whistle up a recap/tactical situation for you, GCR. I'll be posting at a (hopefully) fairly steady rate.

Ya dude, it's high time to merc some bad guys.

I recapped on my own. It was less than twenty pages. We're in Massachusetts, heading for Innsmouth. We're at an airbase, fighting off a wizard attack, in night and snow. We've got Machine Gunners and Carl Gustavs covering us, a guy with a CLU guiding us and multiple hostile in front of us, who as far as I can tell, are torching Helos and are using firearms.

Yeah, sounds about right. BTW, it's cold as fuck.
