"Look! You found your calling. Marcus Branxton: Granian whisperer. Ooooh. Sounds legit." Cat jumped down from her perch and hurried over to grab up Mo's camera. She was getting a picture of this. |
Text Cut: OMG XD This wasn't a place she'd choose to visit, really, mainly because her favorite animals were along the line of dragons, and she believed none would be found here. However, she found another specimen that was just as impressive and interesting as dragons. Even Aidan would agree, surely. And since Ascanius was the next impressive thing in the festival then the direction she took was extremely obvious. To Ascanius. She cleared her throat the moment she stood next to him, since the fellow seemed to be deep in thought. "Hey, A." Because why not? And he was looking at llamas? Probably not. Hey, Tag's sister likes llamas. And that was very random so she'll keep that to herself. "Finding you here. It never crossed my mind." Not so random thought. That one she could share. |

Henry crawled through the crowds and stuffed that bag into his own, which was all extended and stuff and could fit a billion and a million different things in it. He'd look and see what was in it later. Quote:

Can't grab a camera that has disappeared, unfortunately. Bag, camera, and little boy, disappeared into the crowd and away unseen. |

Nonononono. That was his Alice-camera birthday gift from last year, one of the first camera's he'd ever owned and the only one small enough for stuff like this and it was gone. Mo gave Cat a completely devastated look before pointing in the general direction of his camera. "Come BACK with my camera, you rotten little... rotten thing. I'll call the constabulary immediately." The Aurors, in other words. He knew one personally. |
SPOILER!!: :3 There were so many types of beards and he knew deep in his heart that every single one would look good on him, but the puzzle was in which one he wanted to achieve. He needed to set goals, which he would achieve 'cause he was a Slytherin and all. And they achieved their goals without whining and the like. So he just needed to decide. Maybe he would invest in some beard education. Yeah. Smirk. Whilst he was in the midst of beard contemplation, a familiar voice came up beside him and Ascanius threw on his charm like a well broken in jacket, "Hello, gorgeous." And Lottie did look just that today, then again she did everyday. Charm on. He pushed his back up off of the change so he could loiter standing up at his full stature. Briefly he wondered if he now was starting to smell like the petting zoo, but he supposed he was good on that end. Everyone around here did. Oh wait, comment by Lottie. "Yeah, I'm full of surprises, beautiful." He threw her a wink as well. |
Text Cut: XD Charming, yeah, whatever. See, the usual greeting. Except, remember the ever-smirking Ascanius? Lottie was actually kind of content with the fact that he wasn't smirking at her. He'd been smirking before, sure, but not now. It was good. It was different. It was...slightly dull, truth be told. The Hogwartian just nodded and looked around. Honestly, what are you doing here, Ascanius? Had he, like Lottie, hoped to find something else? Llamas weren't that interesting, you know? Unicorns were more interesting than llamas, by far. You got that right. He is full of surprises, "I bet," she said, adding a winking at the end, she always winked back. Unless she was certainly not amused. "I do think you wandered here by mistake." Just a comment. Lottie did have a question to ask him, though! "How's that motorbike, car, whatever thing doing, by the way?" In other words, how's your summer going? And, no, she wasn't asking so she could go and tell Aidan all about it. She was going to try and stop that for a while. |
True Life: My Life Is A Katy Perry Song Quote:
Schuyler bit her bottom lip as she smiled at her, a dead giveaway that she was pleased. And happy. And just glad that Olly confirmed their new friendship. Not only would they be confusing together, but they would make confusing look GOOD. "Of course it's a thing," she answered, slinking her arm around Olly's and lightly tugging them both in the direction of the festival. "It's like one of those unwritten rules.." At least when there were festivals around. And when one of the friends was in the mood for cotton candy. ----------------- The candy man handed them their cotton candy at his little stand that was situated just outside some sort of zoo. Odd placement, but he got their business. And not only did they get pink cotton candy, but they had also gotten its equally tasty counterpart: blue. It had been swirled around and created in that strange machine, and now each color was sitting atop a little white, paper cone. "You do like cotton candy, right?" Schuyler had never really asked.. |
SPOILER!!: Rusty and Lola Though she was focused on entertaining Lola, and ensuring said llama didn't eat the girls fingers, she did spare a few glances at the girls father. A small part of her wanted to roll her eyes at him, but she didn't. Instead she returned her gaze to Lola's hands. "That's it... see this way, while it eats the food it won't accidentally get your fingers caught between its teeth." Not that a llama would actually eat fingers on purpose. Emily wasn't the llama expert Rusty made her out to be, but she figured mundane beasts such as these weren't exactly on the finger eating list. More to the point, while she was a kick-butt auror, Rusty was an unknown. How protective of a father would he be? At any rate, she wasn't about to let the girl be harmed on her watch. Emily couldn't help but chuckle though. Menace? Punished by dragons? Merlin Lola was cute. A little fire cracker in the making, no doubt. "That's it, keep your fingers curled down and let him come to you a bit," she encouraged, "he might sniff at you a little bit, but that's just his way of getting to know you." SPOILER!!: BAH! Call it paranoia, or constant vigillence, whatever... Emily's head snapped up as a figure raced past, snatching her bag!!!..... "Oi!" ..... .... Between watching Lola, and looking at Rusty, Emily didn't bother getting up to chase the little brat, she was off duty, and it was petty theft... boring. It wasn't as if there was anything valuable in the bag anyway. Just a copy of the Prophet, some receipts and half a box of Bertie Botts. Anything of remote importance she kept on her person. Money, keys, misc. |
you're so hypnotizing, could you be the devil, could you be an angel... Quote:
At least the cotton candy stand wasn't like BAM right in the middle of the festival. It was somewhat to the side which meant that there weren't THAT many Slowly wandering on towards the entrance of the petting zoo they were close to, Olly immediately noticed what was in the first cage. Flobberworms. Not exactly doing much. Except making mucus. With her head slightly cocked to the side she watched them for a moment. "That's oddly.....both really gross and fascinating at the same time." She commented without looking away at first before daring a glance at Schuyler next to her. |
SPOILER!!: Lottie :3 He smirked broadly when she winked back at him. See, he didn't need the beard to elicits a response obviously, but he amused by the thought of what would happen when he grew one. There was something really dapper and he dared to say manly about a beard. Being that he was both, this would work. Perfectly. As for the wandering here by accident, he shook his head. Had he wanted to end up here? Yeah, no. But he didn't do anything without purpose so if he was here then he was here. Yeah? So no, Lottie. Wrong. And he could have replied to that comment, but he was just going to smirk. 'Cause, they didn't do the talking thing much, did they? 'Ceot one time. And that was all summed up by one word- mauve. "The repair shop?" he clarified. Aka, his summer job. He had gotten a job assisting in a muggle repair shop, which was dirty and disgusting and manly. "It's good. I'm helping build a motorbike from scratch. And you?" The summer thing. |
Imma get your <3 racing in my skin tight jeans, be your teenage dream tonight Quote:
Cotton candy was almost like magic for muggles. Instantly melting in your mouth like that. And every time Schuyler ate it, she felt like she was a little kid again. She tore off a bit of the pink and a bit of the blue and placed them both in her mouth. Was it bad that she could not distinguish between the two? They tasted the same. Hmh. She would ask Olly. "Is the blue supposed to taste different from the pink?" Olly's comment, the one about not spending money on things she didn't want, hadn't really registered in Ky's mind until a second or two later. Perhaps the pastel pink and blue had distracted her. But when the words did sink in, and her mind skipped to the mirrors they'd just bought, the corners of her mouth turned up. Her eyes moved up from the cotton candy to consider the other girl, and Schuyler thought she was much sweeter than she let on. Schuyler found herself in front of the flobberworm cage with Olly, and she pushed her lips to the side as she examined the closest one. "Mostly gross, though.." She scrunched her nose up a little. Or at least the mucus grossed her out some. But she smiled then and shrugged. She still thought flobberworms were very nice creatures. Harmless, just rather sloooow. But next were the nifflers! "Oh, they're so cute." With those tiny, long snouts. She swerved around the corner of the cage and got a little closer. She took her wallet from her bag and retrieved a knut. Maybe it would be shiny enough to catch the attention of one of them. And sure enough, a niffler snapped its head towards the coin and even began creeping towards it. "They sure like their bling," she grinned. |
Text Cut: Future Ally for the cause! ... "Um..." What's a Clydesdale? Olivia, in a fleeting attempt to not show weakness, decided to keep talking. Yeah. Keep talking. Something will eventually come. That's what the lady said, right? "Pfft.... No! What I was going to say was... that... They, um. WE... could stand here, and tell them to... free them." PRONOUNS! "Me and you... tell the zoo people... to free the animals." "Oh! And I don't know how to cast charms. But good thinking!" She paused, "Future ally..." Olivia looked over her shoulder to make sure her dad couldn't see her. He wasn't in sight, but Olivia took a confident step back toward the girl, to try and recompose her position. Text Cut: LAUGHING CHILD NOW OLIVIA WAS BEING LAUGHED AT! No, no, no, this never happens to those girls... I should get out of here, she thought, now embarrassed. Her cheeks were bright red, (NO, COLOR, GET OUT OF HERE!) and she could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Olivia turned back to the two people. One last ditch effort, "I hope you're happy." LAYING ON THE GUILT! |
+ a bit of Emily and Mo! Quote:
Kids. Who'd have 'em? "HEY! HEY YOU, LITTLE MR!" Rozan yelled as she actually ran after the little thief. Looking like an utter fool as she did it. She slowed down along the way by the victims of the crimes, "So so sorry, I will have your things back right away!" She sure hoped so anyway. Aaaaaaaaaaand... she was off again. BUT WHERE DID HE GO? HELP.... SOMEONE HELP........ is what she wanted to shout, but instead, she offered the guests warm smiles along the way. Because she had this TOTALLY under control... totally. |
Quote:
Donning a long white maxi dress and slipping on her heels, she apparated directly to Diagon Alley from Hogsmeade, and scanned the area. Where had he said to meet again? OH ... Creatures! Durrrr...! Then she saw him, just as his gaze flickered down to his wristwatch, which meant; perrrffecct. She could sneak up on him. Cautiously walking closer from behind him, she reached her arms up swiftly, to cover his eyes with her hands, thankful her heels made it easier, and whispered into his ear, softly. "Guess who?" |
There were clearly people in front of them and in fact everywhere but she'd chosen to ignore them. Her mind was fixed on the petting zoo that she was currently having a bit of difficulty finding. Fingers entwined with Felix's she pulled him along, trying to get him to keep up. This wasn't just a regular petting zoo, it had magical creatures!! "I hope they have all kinds. Do you think we'll see a unicorn or are those hard to source?" She'd seen them at Durmstrang but she didn't know how available they were or what licences were required in order to have one. It was for that reason that she settled in herself that even if they had none she would still enjoy everything else they had. Freya was just about convinced she'd led them in a circle when she spotted IT. "Eeep! Come on!!" And of course there was more pulling. |
Quote:
Out of all the places, she chose the petting zoo. He let Freya tug him along as he looked at other things while they passed by. The mechanical hippogriff looked cool. The pie eating contest looked cool. All the food looked amazing and his stomach agreed every time he got a whiff of the deliciousness. But the petting zoo... "I don't know." he muttered, looking longingly back to the vendor selling meat. Though the sudden tug had him jogging a little to catch up. Oh, she found it? DID THEY JUST PASS WORMS?? What kind of place was this!? He really did make the effort to catch up with Freya, walking along side her as he warily eyed everything. "You see any unicorns yet?" |
Quote:
"Hmmm...Aurora?" he questioned, suppling his older of two sisters that were in fact younger than him. At least she was a safe guess given the female voice maing it fit but not a way to get Fina jealous at him naming another woman. Though of course, given the fact she was shorter then the arithmacy professor and didn't usually wear too high a heal, it made the suggestion more laughable. His face rather neutral despite the amusement. |
Quote:
Except his sister, apparently. Chuckling quietly, she removed her hands and used him for support as she wheeled herself to face him. "Yea, if Aurora decided to wear ginormous heels and was planning on meeting you here..." Fina rolled her eyes, and leaned up to give him a small peck. "You miss me?" Cause you know the brief meetup when school let out was hardly long enough. |
Quote:
Deciding not to let that bother her, she was going to head for the winged horse when she SAW them. Eeeep!!! "Look!!" Freya was almost too excited to speak so she simply hurried over to the fence by them. "There's no point in coming if you're not going to pet it. This one's even more friendly than the ones in the forest." Just trying to reassure him. He didn't seem very enthused about petting them the last time they'd run into one. ...Something about the horns and them not liking males as much. Pfft, no. Her day was technically complete now. Just had to pet it then feed a few winged horses. "We can grab something to eat and watch you take on the mechanical hippogriff but fiiiiiirst the unicorn!" It was of the very most importance. |
Quote:
"Well she could..." Addison mused, chuckling at her rolled eyes. "Though you're right...Allegra's the more likely candidate for doing that." The weirdness and joy of being the youngest and the wild child of the bunch. "And you're the only badger I was expecting this afternoon," he added after she pecked his cheek. His favorite badger actually but he wasn't about to be all cheesy, especially so out in the open amongst plenty of her current and former students. "Did Wenlock live in the 13th century?" AKA duh in arithmancy talk. It was tough at times being separated by the school term and each person's separate responsibilities. And usually it had been his job overseas that put distances in his relationships. |
Quote:
So...there were unicorns here. Yaay................. Though he couldn't help but smile when Freya got all excited about them. Plus her deal was a pretty good one. "Alright, alright." Rubbing the back of his neck, Felix took a few steps closer to the fence, glancing around. No one was watching him, right? Just his luck for someone to snap a picture while he was petting a unicorn of all creatures. Look at that HORN though. Jeez-o. "Are you suuuuuuuure it's friendly?" O__O |
Quote:
So she gave him a hug cause well... what else COULD she do? "Can't we like... get an adult to do some magic to bring it back?" Like ACCIO CAMERA FROM EVIL CHILD? Or something in that manner? No? Quote:
|
Quote:
His question had her giggling. "If it weren't friendly they wouldn't make it so you can pet it. He's probably been bred in captivity, harmless. Might not even know how to use its horn." She ended with a teasing grin. The odds of him being viciously attacked were slim...well actually no they weren't but given the look on his face she wasn't about to tell him that. Instead she reached her hand toward him. "Come on, you've pet a wild one and got away from an acromatula, this should be nothing." Except it was everything and completely amazing and she couldn't see how he could NOT like unicorns of all creatures. She wanted to have one one day, and not a stuffed one either. |
Quote:
Freya was right though. He HAD pet a wild one before AND got away from an acromantula. A smirk slowly started to appear on his face as he nodded his head to the side a little, trying to play it off while being cool. Adjusting his leather jacket. Running a hand through his hair. Yea, he totally did that. "Alright. I got this." Clearing his throat, he glanced to Freya momentarily before scooting closer to the fence, hand reaching slooooooooooooooowly out to the unicorn. His gaze never left the horn though. Holysnapsmotherofcandydonteathishand. |
Quote:
Theeeeere was the smirk she liked seeing. Her little pep talk worked, yeah? It looked like it. He just said he had this so even with him only barely inching toward the fence she had no real reason to not believe him. When you thought about it, even if he freaked out the chances of the unicorn freaking as well were also slim. He was fiiiiiiiiiiiiine. She held her breath waiting for him to give himself the final push but just when he was close enough she saw the unicorn rear up on its hind legs. Knowing fully well that the fence was enough she didn't flinch but her mind was now actively worrying about the boyfriend who'd only just gotten enough courage to step this close. Freya shook anything negative out of her head. He said he had this, the fence was in place. No overreactions. They would wait for the unicorn to settle then try again. Nod. |
