[X] Plan Doing the Mystery Justice
-[X] Case 2: I am afraid of dying – Your first case has given you a new perspective onto things. When someone dies, how are they turned into ghosts? Are they fully here or is it only an afterimage, stuck in between both worlds. Professor Binns often calls students by the wrong names and gives the wrong houses points… but does he? There is system to the madness. (Costs 2 actions)
-[X] Quidditch Round 1, Ravenclaw vs Gryffindor – It's time for the first game of the year and while you have a lot of things that you'd like to focus on, most of the school will be present here. Go and watch the Quidditch Game. It could be interesting and if it is not, well you will be high enough up to watch the clouds instead. Win-Win.
-[X] Business School of Hogsmeade (Multiple Actions on this count as multiple rolls stacking) – This is the first year, in which you can go to Hogsmeade. Good that you've been planning for this since first year: Buy Books, Ingredients, Joke Shop Articles, Instruments and other things. Go and look, if you can make some money by buying things for first and second years. Roll for how many are interested and then for how much they want to spend. Take 10% of their spending as a fee. x2
-[X] Stage I, Dreams of old (Takes 2 Actions) – The book your father gave you is one without adornment as decoration, nor is there any title to find on the old leather binding. There is not one word written on the pages of the old tomb and your father gave you nothing but one clue: It has something to do with memory magic. What is this riddle about?
-[X] Stage II, A Shadow behind the Paintings (Multiple Actions on this count as multiple rolls stacking) – Most pupils go through their life at Hogwarts without ever looking beyond what they can see. You have already taken a first step in getting a better understanding of the structures surrounding you. Now you only need to dig deeper. (Find passages going out of Hogwarts.) Multiple DC thresholds to see how many you find, from low to very high. x2
-[X] Write In: Clear the Air(Ravenclaw) - Megan let you realize something. Sally-Anne's disappearance would have affected many of your fellow students, and Skeeter's lies are doing them no favors if they researched the matter of their own, with deliberate deceit muddying the waters. Detail and present the mystery and the evidence you've found in the Ravenclaw common room, particularly for the students of the affected years(and of course, letting the teachers know beforehand). See if anyone can turn up additional facts relating to the case, to get more precise timelines, who were affected and how it happened.
-[X] Train, Learn, Achieve – Defence Against the Dark Arts
-[X] Train, Learn, Achieve – Transfiguration
-[X] Train, Learn, Achieve – Charms
-[X] Do your research – Reparo (Needed for exams at the end of the year)
-[X] Do your research – Avifors (Needed for exams at the end of the year)
-[X] Free action: Write a letter to your parents detailing the recent event.

Okay for guys wanting to smack Skeeter, an anonymous tip isn't going to do anything. Furthermore, we've zero contacts in publishing or the like, theres going to be THOUSANDS of similar letters in the wake of a nationwide shock like that.

So why not make the truth go out to people who're actually interested in the truth? Who know us personally as the key person involved. It takes a full action because well, this is basically a Ravenclaw Years 1-3 social, and the audience are preselected for being interested in mysteries and knowledge. We're not very social, but are passionate about the mystery, which overrides our normal reluctance.

And also Luna can relay it to her dad if she feels like it. We don't know her well enough to ask her directly.

And as a footnote, attending the Quidditch match so we have a chance to spot Sirius in his Black Dog form(he's why the Dementors swarmed the match)

My main concern with letter sending is that the pool of suspects who have actionable info isn't all that large. It's the teaching staff and Jacob basically.

All it takes is Rita poking around where she can, a quick skim says she's not banned from Hogwarts grounds until next year, and finding an enterprising Slytherin who's still sore over Ravenclaw getting a heaping helping of house points. "Oh yeah, Jacob Basques was at ground zero of The Incident yelling at a ghost or something! You should probably slander his family."

I'm fine with DRAMA either way, but I'd prefer not to bother haha.
 
I'm fine with drama, but seriously the letter does nothing. Right after such an event every news outlet is swarmed with a 'tip' from every single attention seeker and mystery maniac in the country with their pet theory. Do it properly. We can make it a House activity(at least the house of nerds would listen or at least politely ignore it).

I think you have an extra action there, is Clear the Air the free action or a normal action?
 
[X] Plan Doing the Mystery Justice

Because I want to see it happen.
It's not even directly calling out Rita.
It's just telling the truth.

Doing The Mystery Justice is extremely out of character for us. It involves actually approaching and speaking to people. So yeah I don't think it'll work out as well as some of you may think.
 
Why do you guys want to do something majorly out of character for Jacob? I cannot see this ending well.
 
Not even sure about this plan tbh. Our character hates attention to the point of fleeing from every class he's in for days.
Why would he do this?
To put it more bluntly: this seems way the fuck out of character and I hate that shit (OOC stuff).

How else does one grow? And this can be characterised as him being offended enough (you can add in Megan's reaction causing him to look again at the lies Rita wrote and have it be, ever so slightly, personal), to break out of his comfort zone and do something drastic and... talk to people :)

Sorry for double post, but as a free action, @veekie , what about writing Jacob's parents about what happened? #worriedpeoplearetiresometoreadabout :)
