Eliza knocked over her cousin when the bus gave a nasty halt. Which resulted Zyra's chocolate drink spilled all over Eliza. She said as she stood and looked down at herself, "Oh! Great! I am karma's easy target!" She looked out the window, "Where are we?" she said. "I can't see anything." as she squinted her eyes.

ooc: the part "I am karma's easy target", i was trying to translate "ang bilis ng karma" unfortunately, the grammar part of my brain is disabled.xD

ooc: nice translation

Baki was startled when the bus suddenly stopped. "What was that?" he asked. "We can't be there yet, can we?" He tried to look outside too but he couldn't see anything either.

ooc:lys, ubos na yung choco ko!

Zyra took out her wand and pointed it at the stain on her cousin's clothes. she thought of a spell and the stain disappeared. "All gone!" she said smiling. "Where are we? I cant see anyhing outside!"

00c:
it is tuesday...


what the ..!?

Nica, all by instinct, grabbed the nearest candle post.
She steadied herself and took a glimpse outside the window..

nope... not there yet. she thought.

Jalane had slid down the bed and hit her face on one of the bed posts.

"Ouch! What was that about??" She looks out the window and along with the other passengers, said out loud, "Where are we? Are we picking up another passenger?? But I don't see anything outside..." She unconsciously clutched her wand from inside her robe as she felt a sudden strangeness about the place....


ooc: *dun dun dun* hehehe

Like a set of dominoes a group of passengers up front toppled one over the other as the bus screeched to a stop. Of course, Jen spectacularly fell over her seat and hit her head--again--on a pole. With a big, angry, red welt on her forehead she stood up dizzily, and squinted as she saw that they were on a deserted road.

"We already stopped and I haven't got any sleep at all!" Zyra said struggling to make out shadows from the outside.

ooc: i want to be kept!!!

bic:Zyra gave a sigh of relief. "I thought---never mind, at least we're okay!" she said smiling to her cousin. she sat back down. "Hot Spot huh? well, the ministry has been busy! wonder what they're looking for?!" she asked no one in particular.

Zyra could make out a shadow figure approaching her.

ooc: parang mumu.. hehe...

Nica finally reached the girl's bed. She smiled, almost hesitant and vaguely thinking if this girl will talk to her.

"Hi."
She held out her hand.
"Im Nica."

Eliza stared back at Steve then to her cousin, who's sitting on the bed. She has this kind of look that she really is having a hard time absorbing what Steve had just said. "Oh! ok!" she finally managed after a few and sitting back down beside her cousin. "Hot Spot.. Right.. Nice term.." she said, nodding. "Erm, Miss Jalane," turning to her, "do you have any idea on why the Ministry chose this place? I was just thinking since you're working in the MoM, so." she politely asked Jalane, shrugging.

ooc: lol..my character is weird..one minute she's stupid and the next she's all "thinking" and the like..lol!

ooc: maaan, lala why you gotta say MoM for?? i knew i was gonna get asked!

bic:

Jalane noticed her hand still in her robe, clutching her wand. She quickly takes her hand out so Eliza wouldn't panic. "Huh? Oh, this place..." She tries to remember something someone said in passing, but she couldn't remember the details.

"You know, I did hear someone talking about it - but this is something outside the Wizengamot. Since I work at the Wizengamot, I only see the
cases that go to court. Like I said before, I'm pretty new at the MoM, so I don't think they trust me with these kinds of information yet..." She tried her best to answer, hiding the fact that she has NO idea what's going on. She wanted to appear knowledgeable, but failed as she stumbled on her words.

I hope they buy it, she thought.

She tries to jog her memory on the conversation about the "Hot Spot", trying to remember the details. Oh no, I hope Zyra isn't reading my mind...

A passenger went up to Steve and asked him.. Well, Mr. Ernie said to me that this bus just needed one simple spell. After that, were back on track and we are nearly there at the leaky cauldron. So I guess we have to wait for him. It would take just minutes Then he leaned closer to Baki and in a low voice, he said he's also making something for a drink then Steve winked.

After that, he heard Jalane talking.. he went near her and smiled Hi, I heard you're new at Wizengamot. Wow thats cool and at least you're in, know what I mean? He sat at a bed near them all and continued Ernie said to me that the Hot Spot is a place wherein the MInistry needs to keep an eye on. I guess where we are right now is under surveillance. But I assure you all, just as Ernie assured me, were all safe...

Then a soft sound was made at the front of the bus. It sounded like someone had accidentally broke a glass. Steve turned his head at that direction and thought "Oh no, Ernie must have made a slight error there as he was trying to make a tea for himself" He looked back at Jalane and to the rest of the passengers. Oops, Ernie needs me I guess So he stood up and went to see Ernie

ooc: Lai

Nica nodded to Eliza.
"Hot Spot huh? Ever heard of it?" she asked Zyra and Eliza.

Jalane sees Steve carrying Ernie back on the bus, and carefully putting him on one of the beds. A slight panic was rising inside her.

She takes her wand out and starts walking towards Steve and Ernie. "What happened?" she asked in a whisper, "is he alright?"

She looked out the window again, but still saw nothing. "Ok, everyone, remain calm. nothing to worry about. Please stay where you are right now," and as she said this, she looked at Zyra and Eliza, and all the younger passengers.
