ooc • timeline for bete noire
May
- 27 • Draco makes his arrival in the city of Bete Noire, much to his own chagrin. He also meets Percy Weasley, a doctor, some nameless jerk, Merlin, and a female Oliver Wood who claimed to be Katie Johnson, whomever that is.
31 • Draco discovers that dragons are present in the city, and meets an injured Christine Chapel.
31 - 4 • Draco trolls the Magistrate.
June
- 6 • It's the day after Draco's birthday, and he found his window, and consequently gets trashed. Thankfully, he met De that night. Oh, and Scott, Dana Scully, and his supposedly dead cousin.
8 • Draco is pinged by talk of illusions, and meets Zero for the first time.
9 • True to form, Draco welcomes Dr Chase by trolling him.
11 • Pinged by chipper people, Draco goes trolling and decides to eventually find out what kind of talents people prefer.
12 • Draco realises Snape is there. And promptly freaks out. He later goes out and runs into De, who takes him to a sex shop and then home for a fabulous night of shagging.
16 • Draco is called out as being a grumpy wizard, and this somehow ends up endearing him to Zero well enough that he bothers to leave the house and teach him magic. And then they go on an ice cream date for completely unknown reason.
19 • Once again, Draco is compelled to troll the Magistrate. He unwittingly becomes confidante to the man by asking the right questions, and begins to rethink if he wants to continue trolling.
20 • Compulsion week sends Draco to De's doorstep. Sadly, he runs into Jimmy first, and starts a fist fight.
26 • Draco decides he needs work, and is promptly recruited to Hellsing. Also, Zero is clingy. He also meets Gaila, who strikes him as a weird girl.
27 • Draco's interview with Hellsing goes well, and Zero kidnaps him for a tour. He meets Scott again, actually learns Zero's name, and meets Spike.
28 • Draco doesn't take well to Snape meddling in his life, and decides to say it out loud.
July
- 1 • Draco feels bad for Zero, and decides to humour him.
3 • Flagg suggests they eat the dead, and Draco gets squeamish.
4 • Draco wonders why it isn't common sense to avoid trouble and gets along with Owen. As much as anyone can get along with Owen. He also finds out that Merlin was the one behind the windows, and doesn't take very well to the revelation.
6 • Draco is told to take the day off...
7 • ...and spends it reading romance novels, until Zero shows up unexpectedly. Then they both read them. He also trolls Percy again, but it backfired slightly.
11 • Snape is brewing potions, and Draco's just sneaky enough to be able to get a copy of his notebook.
12 • Draco thinks that Scott' warnings are unnecessary, but pays attention to them anyway, because he's terrified of dying. He also goes over to Zero's place for an impromptu game night, during which both of them cheat at pretty much everything.
13 • Hellsing decides to have a bit of a party to celebrate the barrier's re-opening. Draco ends up getting iced coffee from Ianto, deems it delicious, then disappears off with Zero for ice cream. Again. He also asks about talents, though he doesn't get much out of it.
15 • It's the week of parties. Percy throws a city-wide party, and Draco briefly meets Ruth, and runs into De again.
18 • Draco finds out about Zero's birthday, and promptly trolls him about it.
22 • Zero has his head up his arse about a hole in the ground, and Draco feels the need to say so. He's secretly concerned.
23 • It's Zero's birthday, and even though there are horrible things running around Bete Noire, Draco goes to hang out with him anyway. The best birthday presents? Clearly sex.
28 • Snape and Draco discuss the notion of Draco's potionmaking. Snape is clearly concerned with the fact that he works for Hellsing, and Draco doesn't care.
31 • Draco sceptically deals with people who are overly concerned about safety.
August
- 02 • Draco runs into a mute Scott post-death, and actually manages to help him calm down a bit. He also bonds with Gaila by laughing at blushing virgins.
03 • Zero's been avoiding Draco since his birthday, and Draco decides to track him down. Remus accidentally walks in on them.
04 • Draco and Ichigo run into each other at Hell House, and things get awkward. Scott asks about ice cream and porn; Draco thinks that's a very odd combination. He also quietly bleaches his brain after the prank war between Snape and House begins.
08 • Draco meets Irene Adler, and they decide to meet in person for a drinks date.
09 - 13 • Fantasy week takes its toll on Draco. His life flashes before his eyes, he continues to troll Percy, both Zero and Ianto come by, and he later meets Irene for drinks.
11 • Bonnie asks what people would need in a magic shoppe, and Draco obliges with a simple request.
12 • Zero drags Draco to a beach party. Sirius also inquires after Percy's whereabouts, and Draco responds with the usual trolling.
16 • Draco casually trolls Spike after the reveal of his horribly plain name, but it backfires. He's also a complete sceptic, and thus begins the tale of Chris besting Draco.
17 • De's out working on her Impala, and Draco comes by to have a chat. Tosh also lets people know about Ianto's birthday, and Draco is awkward with her. He later gets thrown in jail for throwing a hissy fit over the Magistrate's raid.
18 • After Draco and Zero get bailed out by Ianto, he finally replies to Owen's text. They get along oddly well considering. Zero is inordinately pleased about having been arrested, and Draco is accused of making up words again.
19 • It's Ianto's birthday, and Draco wants it known that he cares. He's the absolute picture of casual, especially when creeping up on people.
21 • Draco wakes up as a girl, AKA Gaila and hits the town. Rather unhappily, in fact.
22 • Bennett discusses it publicly, and Draco is perpetually anxious.
29 • Draco, in Gaila's body, decides to ask the world about Orions. Zero also officially asks Draco out, and they go get naked in a forest. Good times were had.
September
- 03 • Charles - one version of him, at least - invites the affected for a trial to see if they can't get their memories back, and Draco hesitantly takes it up.
06 • Merlin asks very stupid questions, this time about knowing your own future.
06 - 12 • Draco hangs around Hellsing and confuses the general populace. Oh, and makes out with Spike.
09 • Draco takes up Charles' earlier invitation, and shows up for what will hopefully result in him remembering himself. He also wonders how many people Gaila has slept with. Meanwhile, Zero's accidentally killed Some (or Scott in Some's body, rather), and was dumb enough to talk about it publicly. Draco consequently soothes him as best he can while remaining absolutely terrified that Zero will accidentally kill him with fire.
10 • Draco-in-Gaila runs into Gaila-in-Draco, and they have an oddly pleasant conversation, considering they feel like they're talking to a mirror.
14 • Now back in his own body, Draco is only somewhat wary with Zero. He tries his best, and mostly just blames the fact that he actually cares about Zero.
17 • Gaila is selling herself on the network, and Draco is amused. The beginning of Draco's scepticism at Saix thusly begins.
18 • Snape and Draco re-ward Hell House, as a precaution against more raids. Zero asks Draco to come camping with him, but Draco is a douchenozzle who is unsure about himself, and says he's not sure. Zero is very clearly disappointed.
19 • Remembering Scully's existence, he answers her video on the supernatural.
21 • Draco tells Pasha about his time as Gaila, and they discuss how odd she is.
23 • De shows up at Draco's place with a bottle of whiskey, and the pair lament life. Draco realises that he is indeed dating Zero, and goes to join him where he's off camping to say as much.
26 • Chris did something to himself, and chapter two in the Great Troll-Off goes to Chris.
29 • Claire blows up a potion, and Draco goes to see if she isn't dead.
October
- 01 • Owen announces some details about Hellsing, and Draco decides to comment.
03 • Zero asks about traveling, and Draco feels like he should be a good boyfriend. He asks Zero to the Gala in hopes of cheering him up, and it seems to work. Percy is apparently back from the dead and drugged within an inch of his life, and Draco can't help but make fun of him.
04 • Draco finds out Scott's leaving security, and ends up showing off his fear of being eaten by Laphroaig. He also mocks Amy's previous career as a kiss-o-gram. Really, a kiss-o-gram?
05 • Draco and Zero go shopping. At a sex shop, much to Zero's surprise. They then process to have very kinky sex.
08 • Tony hosts a Gala. Draco trolls the Doctor over spinach puffs, has a brief chat with Ianto, helps Zero put his waltzing skills to use, is perpetually sceptical of Percy, fixes Pepper's initial impressions by dancing with her...
10 • Draco goes to a grocery store to get Zero something called a Red Vine, and runs into Saix. Half a grocery store is destroyed, but not actually.
13 • Draco dares ask Snape about his class, and finds out that Snape knows quite a bit more about his life than he lets on. Later on, Zero comes by to try and make him feel better.
16 • Sirius is back and uglier than ever. What does that mean? It's trolling time!
18 • Snape holds a private Potions class that reminds Draco of Hogwarts, save the fact that it's just him and Granger from their world. Pasha asks about a job, and Draco wonders if he can deal with working with her.
20 • Scully's gone, and Draco can only muster the barest amount of care.
23 • Draco's earlier question about how many people Gaila's slept with is answered when she asks if anyone has a copy of her sex tapes.
28 • Vampires strike, and Draco is concerned. As always, it's Ianto to the rescue.
30 • Fascination week strikes, and Draco finds himself staring at walls while Zero collects bugs.
31 • Bonnie threw a Halloween party! Draco gets freaked out by Snape, shares a drink with Christine, and hangs out with Zero. Needy comes by too. He also trolls Hermione, but that's not new. Then he becomes a pirate, thanks to a spell gone wrong, and tries to steal a mermaid. Later on, they torture the populace in various ways.
November
- 05 • Snape cancels his Potions lessons, and Draco is eternally confused. Meanwhile, Sirius announces the tragic loss of Percy and Lily. Draco still doesn't put two and two together.
08 • Owen invites everyone out for a Hellsing get-together and Draco gets sarcastic. He and Zero also discover a hidden cache of rum on the island.
09 • Zero is tiny, and that is bad. Freya also asks about curses; Sirius and Draco have an unpleasant chat over a healing spring.
11 • Adventures with the small: this time, Pasha. Just as frustrating as she is when she's older.
12 • More people Draco knows are tiny: namely Snape. The things Draco never wanted to see. He then attends the Hellsing beach party, because everyone needs to chill out.
13 • Draco's lost Zero on the island, and paranoia makes him think the worst of it.
15 • Draco discovers that the island does weird things. For example, Ichigo is female.
16 • It's Conrad's birthday, Draco's an asshole, and inevitably gets called one innumerable times during the duration of the conversation.
17 • And then it's Saix's turn to be tiny. Much to Draco's chagrin, he has to get him and transport him to Ianto's safe haven.
18 • Zero's back to normal, but Draco's still wary. They settle in for some ceiling!stargazing, and eventually Zero lovingly shags Draco.
19 • De, oddly young for some reason, shows up at Draco's flat when he's out of his mind delusional. Not a good combo at the best of times. He later goes out and finds Ianto getting hammered at a bar.
20 • Some and Draco discuss souls, and find out they work together. Apparently Draco needs to get out more. It also turns out that Gaila's soul is a peacock, just while they're on that topic. He later crashes Sirius' birthday party.
23 • Hermione and Draco bicker, this time about Snape's lessons and the nature of concern. What's new? He also goes out despite better judgement and gets creeped on by Flagg.
24 • It's American Thanksgiving, and De invited Draco and Zero.
25 • Snape reinstitutes his Potions lessons and the topic inevitably moves back to Zero.
26 • Draco honestly can't believe that Merlin is a moron.
December
- 01 • Zero wonders if Christmas is going to be normal, and Draco feels the need to comment. It takes a turn for the depressing when Zero later comes over, and Draco finally tells him what happened to make him so guarded about his past RE: the Dark Lord.
04 • Percy's back, and Draco gets into the Christmas spirit by trolling him. What else is new?
06 • Paul's gone, but Draco didn't really know him. Not that he knows Ruth any better, but he still makes a weak attempt at making her feel better.
07 • Hermione goes shopping, and unfortunately runs into Draco.
11 • At Snape's newly reinstated Potions lessons, Draco decides to swipe some Felix Felicis. This will totally come back to bite him.
