[Temp. banner until I get the time to make a better one]
Welcome to the School Kitchens! The kitchens at Hogwart's are located directly beneath the Great Hall in which the students and teachers eat the delicious food prepared here by those known as House Elves. To get here, you must take the door to the right of the main staircase in the entrance hall and follow the corridor until you come to a large painting of a a bowl of fruit. After you tickle the pear, which becomes a door handle, step inside and gaze at the high ceilings and a great brick fireplace at the end of the room. This is where you House Elves will be working until you can be sorted into the guild. 3nodding
Everyone in this guild who hasn't been sorted, or isn't elligible to be sorted, is a house elf. House elves can not participate in regular classes, play Quidditch, earn house points, post in common rooms, or do any activities that have to do with the students. After repeat offenses, you could be banned. But, what can they do, you ask? Well, they can post in any of the game, discussion, and event threads. They can also sign up for the one House Elf class that we are offering this term! Check at the bottom of this post for the link to it. It will teach you to become a proper House Elf before you become a student.
Students, feel free to post here as well. You are just as welcome as the elves themselves. I encourage all house elves to try and become students. It allows you to do a lot more than post in the game threads and what not. We are always needing more students, so elves, post post post! Until the meantime, I hope you can cook us up some delicious meals!
ATTENTION ALL HOUSE ELVES!!!
You now have your own class where you will be able to learn how to cook and clean properly! Please report to Professor Alasse Anwamane's classroom and sign up! House elves need to be taught too! (Plus it's an extra chance to rp)

The Entrance Hall mini Q&A post
I don't want to be a house elf! I want to be something else! Don't I have ANY other options!? what about that guy from a different school, he's not a house elf. And I think I read somewhere that you can have ghosts? I DON'T WANT TO BE A HOUSE ELF!!! scream
Note from Katie: Being a house elf simply means you're new. Our exchange student has been a loyal member for a while now. He discussed his request with Pinkie and I before he joined the guild.
As for ghosts; that's just an idea for now. Ghosts are going to be our most active members, to be trusted with putting together our guild's events. So you wouldn't be able to just walk into the guild and be a ghost. You have to earn your position just like everyone else does.
I believe Pinkie said: "If you expect to walk into Hogwarts on your first day and expect some glorious title, then I don't think you should be here."
I'm not saying you shouldn't be here. I'm just saying that it's somewhat rude to expect special treatment when there are many other members who are elves just like you.
It feels especially rude to me, because I'm the one who goes through the lists and keeps the member lists organized so the members can enjoy our unique little spot in Gaia. So, if we were to accomidate your request, it would involve a lot more work for me, because once we do it for you, we'll have to do it for anyone who asks...
And finally, ask yourself this: Which would you rather the mods discuss; making multiple titles for new members, or finding ways for new members to be more involved? It's your choice...
