Safe house - Ouroboros [COMPLETED]

[Admin Sora]

Dear parvati patil macmillan,
You've agreed to take on the mission safe house. This is a stealth mission, and your organization's stat is currently 0. The background of this mission is:

You've been charged by your leader to find, and set up a new safe house for your organization.

(since you were unable to get a third party member for this you will be completing the missions alone and use npcs for the group section.)

We wish you luck!

[Admin Sora]

Your current assignment is:

Locate a suitable location for the safe house. (you don’t have to actually find a location/pictures. We will give you the name of the location if successful)

Please write a post of your character in this thread working on this step. This post is due in 7 days, or the mission will be deemed abandoned. For convenience please tag me in your post!

Being tasked with finding a safe house for the use of the group now known as Ouroboros was—to say the very least—daunting. The Order had been so firmly established, so finding anywhere for a faction that had split off from it was going to take even more effort. Still, Parvati was happy to do it if it meant taking something off of everyone else’s shoulders. She didn’t work during the summer, either, so she had more free time to search for a location—and two others to help her to ensure that it was done clandestinely.

Gathering as many sources as they could, most of them newspaper listings or flyers with properties printed onto them, Parvati and the others sat down in front of what they had found, going through it property by property. The first criterion that they had deemed necessary was that the property needed to blend into its surroundings enough that it wouldn’t be missed if magically hidden. That knocked out just about anywhere with any historical value.

They could go with a city, Parvati thought. She, for one, knew London well, and she knew the Muggle areas well enough to know where might have worked. Still, space was at a premium, and the price would be considerable for anywhere large enough to house their entire group, if they ever needed to.

Numerous lists of pros and cons later (and more ink and parchment wasted than Parvati cared to admit), they had settled on a spot. It was almost too good to be true; it checked all of the necessary boxes. Parvati didn’t want to think that maybe they had missed some minor details, but that it had gone so swimmingly was too much of a shock. They had to be met with some hiccup.

With the assistance of two other members of your organization (you can use actual played characters if anyone wants to participate, or NPC's) set up protective wards at the location to prevent any unwanted guests from popping in.

Miraculously, everything was going as smoothly as Parvati could have hoped. The location, which they had christened Safe Harbour, was officially theirs. To be of any real use to Ouroboros, however, it needed to be secure. The most important decision would be whether or not they would choose to have a Secret Keeper, but the incredible implications of that would take more time—and more discussion with Finn—than any of them had at their immediate disposal.

For the time being, security charms that weren’t in any way tied to the Fidelius Charm were what they needed, and those would do well enough until they were able to solidify a plan.

Once Parvati and the others arrived, it was decided that Unplottability would need to come first. The deliberate concealment of their location would keep them from being found by Muggles or others in the magical world. An anti-intruder jinx would be beneficial for the building itself, as would an assortment of defensive charms, including a Muggle-Repelling Charm, possibly an Imperturbable Charm, and a Caterwauling Charm (if they cared to subject themselves to the noise of testing it out).

Actually putting all of the protective enchantments in place would be difficult for one person to manage alone, which was why Parvati felt fortunate to have help in getting it all done. Taking it one step at a time, they moved as far as they could on the property and began to secure its perimeter. Once they felt certain that they had made the place Unplottable, they moved on, casting the next enchantment and so on.

Working in tandem with the other two people who had joined her, Parvati found that they were able to make considerable progress. They had gone from having no base to having a location where they could meet and possibly house their members if they needed it, Merlin forbid. She hoped that they would never find themselves in that position; living out of the Room of Requirement once had been enough. Still, it seemed that they had done what they had set out to do.

By the time that they actually pulled out a map to check if the location was still on it, it was getting quite late in the day. Planning was always more of her sister’s strong suit, Parvati realized, though it would have done her good to have taken a page out of Padma’s book with that. The Unplottability hadn’t stuck, and neither had any of the other protective enchantments that they had spent their time trying to set up, from the way things were looking.

Parvati had two options, and getting frustrated was the option that she wasn’t going to take. They needed all the security that they could get, and there was frankly no excuse for them not to get it right. “We can’t rush this,” Parvati made clear, as much as going through the motions again wasn’t what any of the three of them wanted to be doing; they had to make sure that they could leave there with the knowledge that they weren’t risking anything.

All of the enchantments that they had intended to use before—plus a few more added on for good measure—cast, Parvati pulled out the map again. If they were successful in making it Unplottable, then all they would need to do would be to check the strength of the other protections.

It wasn’t just beginning to get aggravating; by the end of the second go-around, Parvati was ready to be done with the whole thing. Either the map was slow to reflect the enchantments that they had just tried—again—to put into place on the property, or they hadn’t stuck for a second time. She breathed in, exhaled, and looked around. If there was any bright side, it was that she was familiarizing herself with the location.

“Alright,” she breathed. “Let’s try this one last time…” It was just her luck, she thought, that two times of having gone around and done the same thing that they were preparing to do again—for their third time—hadn’t worked. It would be mortifying to go back to Finn and tell her about their lack of success, but Parvati was already beginning to rehearse that conversation in her head.

Hopefully, though, it wouldn’t have to come to that, and the third time would be the charm.
