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! :)

SWF science lover seeking awkward-but-endearing boy in tights. Reptile enthusiasts need not apply.

WANTED: Attractive male partner for friendly, no-strings romp with sexy-but-busy female twenty-something. Please no creepers or relationship-seekers. Must bathe daily.

FOUND: 1 copy of "101 Uses for Grease: Expanded Edition" with inscription on the inside reading Property of S. Snape. Looks to have an abnormally large nose imprint between the pages of the hair care section. To claim, please send 2 galleons shipping to Mr. P. Foot, esq, care of the front desk.

Wanted: 1 bird, ginger preferred but not required.

[prongsdefiant]

Are you really expecting him to claim it, though? I say we send it collect on delivery.

[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.

[divinestsense]

But then I'd have to look at him. I reckon most people would interact with Snivellus through the post were it an option.

[prongsdefiant]

We could send it by owl and have it peck him until he coughed up the gold.

[rangerbecket]

I just got out of the shower ten minutes ago. Am I clean enough or do you need me to wash behind my ears again?

[deepmagic]

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

[not_lost]

I don't know, do I get to watch?

[tobearwitness]

Required: One investigation partner, experience in supernatural matters and knowledge of scripture preferred.

[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.

[rangerbecket]

You could take over if I'm not doing a good enough job. I don't mind a little direct supervision.

[deepmagic]

It's ridiculous, you know, how everyone else seems to have grown out of these sort of cruel and petty jokes but you lot.

[prongsdefiant]

I'm guessing you did not see what that git hexed me with last week when I was leaving Charms? I missed Quidditch because I was growing my toenails through my trainers.

[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.

[deepmagic]

And what had you done to him first?

[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?

[not_lost]

I hear I'm pretty good at hitting the right spots.


…and I officially can't believe I just said that.

[divinestsense]

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

[prettysure]

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

[prongsdefiant]

Nothing!

[prongsdefiant]

There is no dignity in love or war.
