The Classifieds Meme

[concierge]

(A Test Drive meme with a little Most Wanted flavor.)

Instructions:

1. Comment with a fake classified ad from your character. It could be a personal ad (if your character is looking for someone specific, like a canon mate, or someone in general for friendship/romance), seeking employment or anything else, selling something...basically anything relevant. (Here are some funny or bizare examples of ads: one, two, and of course there's always the potential horror of Craigslist.)

2. Have your character reply to other ads that pertain to them or spark their interest, and go from there!

ANY character can leave an ad or reply to an ad, whether they are already part of all_inclusive or not! You can use this meme as a test drive for potential characters, to request canon mates, or just to have fun! :)

Wanted: 1 bird, ginger preferred but not required.

[deepmagic]

I really can't decide whether I ought to be relieved or insulted by this.

[prongsdefiant]

Look! It's Evans come to answer my advert. Although, really, if you poorly transfigured a tabby into a toucan you might have a ginger bird.

[deepmagic]

Well, that's sorted, then. I'll be certain to send one your way.

[prongsdefiant]

Now, now, Evans, when was the last time you transfigured poorly? Once upon a never? I'm afraid your toucan has not even a trace of ginger in its plumage.

You're just going to have to come yourself.

[deepmagic]

Ah, but your advert clearly specified that ginger wasn't required. I'm certain you can fool some poor non-ginger girl into thinking you're clever, seeing as you've half the school fooled as it is.

[prongsdefiant]

But none of it matters if you don't think I'm clever. Will you help ease my sorrow that my toucan is black and gold?

[divinestsense]

That may be your worst line yet, mate. Dignity, Potter. Dignity.

[prongsdefiant]

There is no dignity in love or war.

[tobeliked]

Evidently.

[prongsdefiant]

You too, Remus? I'm wounded.

[tobeliked]

I'd much rather cheer you on, Prongs.

Perhaps after some revision.

[prettysure]

I am so confused right now. And maybe a little worried for the avian population.

[prongsdefiant]

Have you or would you consider becoming a redhead?

[prettysure]

No, but I'm considering never finding you charming ever again, so there's that.

And what's with the accent? It doesn't even sound real.

[prongsdefiant]

Are all Americans this prickly? It's real. I'm from God...uh, Surrey.

[prettysure]

Is this supposed to be cute? Because all things considered, it's really not, Peter.

[prongsdefiant]

Uh, sorry. That's my mate. Short, mousy looking? I'm James.

[prettysure]

You hit your head, didn't you? I knew this would happen, I knew it.

[prongsdefiant]

I'm not currently concussed. Who in Merlin's left buttock is Peter that looks like me?

[prettysure]

He's my- He's a guy I know. Who does really stupid things sometimes.

[prongsdefiant]

Such as pretending to be a world-class Quidditch player?

[three_two_one]

I was torn between a call to the SPCA and trying to figure out...well, never mind the last part.

[prettysure]

I'm not sure I would completely rule out that call.

[legendthatwas]

Trust me, I'd be calling the RSPCA if I were you--less for the bird, more to collar this dog. *gestures up to original ad*
