Senior Reprobate... Williamson was still woozy, but not so woozy that he couldn't give Elder James a bit of a half-grin. "Good one, kiddo. Glad to see that time you got KO'd by the Squad didn't keep you down for the count."

Heh. He was feeling better already, cracking jokes, being Mr. Wise Guy once more. Who was next on his (actually sweet) roast list?

Ah. Cecelia. He glanced at her and felt immediately terrible for his casual language earlier. WWW heaved a big sigh @ this childe. "Lighten up, Summers. You're supposed to be our ray of sunshine in the room. Why don't you help Phoebe and Kale," he stifled an ill-timed yawn, "with decorating the place a little, to make things look homely?"

Noah. That boy. The best-intentioned Gryffindor could still rub ol Williamson wrong on the worst of days. And Williamson recognized right away why Noah Nam was calling him delirious. "I'm NOT delirious," the old man bellowed a bit. "There are no guards in the room. They left, ok? We're safe. Ish. For now. We just have to be smart. So let's make the most of this mess, alright?"

Lil Mamie. "Pleeeeeeeease," he groaned at the girl, "you can do your homework with your classmates. We're all in this together. You KNOW you're going to be let out and taken to lessons, right?"

Oh hey, someone from his old house. Violet Blackthorne! WWW snagged the potion from her, chugged it in one gulp, and then let out a bit of a belch. No offense to his niece, Louise Bones, but he might've accidentally just burped in her face. "Thanks, Violet, you have no idea what that meant to me." Well, he COULD tell her, but no, that wasn't his style anymore. He was not so emotional. "They might be watching, but I think this room confinement will be as bad as it gets." Did he have to say that the next step was... death? Er? See, they COULD talk freely in here. There was nothing else they COULD do, as long as they were smart about how they spoke to each other.

He smiled congenially around at Blaze, O'Neill, Yoon, Fox, Donovan, O'Hanlan and even Littlest James, or at least, as best as he could smile right now, and that smile possibly looked like a grizzly grimace, but there it was.

"Enough apologizing," Williamson concluded, feeling the potion kicking in already and deciding to get up and stretch. "We're all in this together, so let's make the most of it." Yeah yeah, he was repeating himself, but he was nearly 60 years old. And look at him as an example of making the most of things. He'd just been crucio'd and now, thanks to that strengthening solution he was feeling like punching a wall and making a break from this place. Speaking of walls... Williamson scratched the stubble on his cheek with his left hand, feeling a certain ace up his sleeve....

OH! HIS WAND? He still had his wand?! The man made a surprised face, a bit like but didn't say anything out loud because...

Well, what had he just lectured the kids about? He'd told them to be smart about what they said in here, even if they could speak freely. Yes, that. He blinked a few times but kept the disillusioned wand in his left wrist holster to himself. It was possible that only the kids nearby him even saw these subtle-ish facial expressions.

A FEW IMPORTANT OOC NOTES:

1. You can RP in any of the threads here in this subforum. Set your own TL in the other threads. Find others to RP with.
2. You can still RP in other threads in the School. Like I posted in the Wizarding World chat, just don't act like you're suddenly free or suddenly in areas of the school where the Neo-Alliance wouldn't take students. RPs in the kitchens or common rooms, for example, might be out of the question. If you're unsure, PM DaniDiNardo. But I think mainly we'd just like to see y'all playing along with what we've created for your enjoyment.
3. There are no guards in the room. I wasn't lying nor having WWW be delirious when he said that (though, kudos to those of you who wrote him off as such because it was really funny. Hehe).
4. WWW does indeed have his wand. Ahem.
5. I think that's all. Sorry for being slow to reply; I'm super swamped IRL atm. But I am here to help facilitate RPs for you if you'd like. You dun need me though. You're all amazing, creative people on your own.
