Sample of writing
Please respond in-character to the following example role-play post from Peeves the Poltergeist. The scene is set at Hogwarts so if your character wouldn't normally be found there, please work a reason for them being there into your post. Treat this as if it was a role-play post on the board: don't control Peeves and don't feel you have to finish the scene, just have your character react to what is happening.
This isn't neccessary for players who are already involved in the game.
If Peeves the poltergeist were to tell anybody his life story (and if anybody were to be incapacitated enough to listen), they would have realised that Peeves had been at Hogwarts since before it was built. They had built the castle around him, and often in spite of him, and that was part of the reason that he felt so purely that he owned it.
What a lark it had been, pushing the stones out of place, tipping the moulten lead out of its tureen, being chased by five-hundred angry skilled tradesmen each brandishing his own tools... he missed those days! They had been ruddy brilliant. It wasn't like that now, it was all boring and school work and prefects and ruddy Bloody Baron.
Peeves mouth spread into a wide, obnoxious grin as he discovered his new favourite words.
"Ruddy-bloody-ruddy-bloody-ruddy-bloody Baaaron," he hummed to himself, safe in the knowledge that the Baron himself rarely ventured into the entrance hall, which was where Peeves was lurking, armed to the back teeth with dungbombs and waterballoons.
Floating rather aimlessly around the chandelier, which, to the disdain of the caretaker, was frequently misused as a fort, he didn't notice immediately that he was no longer alone.
"Ruddy-bloody-bloody-bloody-bloody-ruddy-baronnnn... Oi!"
He was poised, suddenly, like a hunting dog snapped on the scent, as he realised someone below was watching him. With a shrieking cackle he zoomed out from his stronghold defense, leaving the chandelier rocking in his wake, and immediately began to pelt his intended victim with dungbombs.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh! Look at you! You're AWFUL. Disg-u-u-usting!" Splat, another landed and missed the target, but spattered over their shoes with a sickening sort of 'squelch'. "Why don't you have a BATH?"
And with that, he opened fire with the water balloons.
