Open RP: Happy Easter!

[tourettesbunny.livejournal.com]

Although the Easter Bunny arrived in time for Easter, he was rather woefully late in spreading the Easter joy to Hogwarts. This may have been because he was sleeping 16 hours a day, because he'd tried playing DDR in the Gryffindor common room, or just because he was extremely lazy.

Today, anybody that wandered through the Great Hall might actually find their eyes hurting from the sheer amount of shiny-wrapped chocolate eggs, piled in dozens of baskets and of many different colors. Some of the eggs had items inside, detectable by the rattling one would hear upon shaking them; the items would range from anything from more chocolate to any kind of toy one could imagine. Attached to all the baskets is this note:

Happy Easter, biznatches.

Don't moan and whine about how it's late, I KNOW. I had better things to be doing, so you get your chocolate now. If you need me, just holler. I'll be around the room somewhere.

The Easter Bunny

((OOC: Chocolate plot! As is usual, any chocolate that is consumed may or may not have magical effects upon the character that consumes it; what happens (or doesn't happen) is entirely up to the muns :) ))

Aayla was usually on her guard against unknown food and drink. In fact, she made it a policy to advise others to be on their guard as well. However, this particular morning she was distracted by a text on defensive magic. Instead of a plate of miniature muffins, she grabbed a plate with some unwrapped chocolate eggs on it instead.

Belatedly, she realized that in the blink of an eye, she was tiny, and... craving more chocolate. And something cute and fluffy to play with. And she was getting the urge to run up to the nearest person, smack them while screaming "You're it!" and running away.

*Erky throws the returning-ball, which rebounds just short of Aayla. Thinking she'd hit the other child, she runs over.* Sorrysorrysorry!

*The fact that the person she's apologizing to is blue doesn't really upset her. After all, lots of people she knows have blue hair, so why shouldn't someone have blue skin?*

[blue-ataru.livejournal.com]

"It's okay!" Aayla levitated the ball over to herself and threw it back, less accurately than she normally would but still more accurately than a normal five or six year old child would. "It didn't hit me."

[mageofanima.livejournal.com]

Oh. *Fears assuaged, the miniature mage smiles widely.* Hi! I'm Erky.

[blue-ataru.livejournal.com]

"I'm Aayla." She frowned. "Normally I'm taller."

[mageofanima.livejournal.com]

*Erky considers this for a moment.* I think I am, too.

*She frowns. There was something else... After a moment, she shrugs. The difference she can't put her finger on is, of course, the fact that she is normally he (and wouldn't be caught dead answering to "Erky").*

[blue-ataru.livejournal.com]

"This is such a weird place." Anything else in this line of thought is lost as her newly childish brain shoots off on an abrupt tangent. "I want a ball too!" She started cracking open eggs, looking for ones with toys in them and smudging herself with chocolate.

[mageofanima.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's secret passages everywhere. *Erky jumps up and down on a patch of floor, just in case there's a tunnel under it, then decides to start helping Aayla find a ball.*

[blue-ataru.livejournal.com]

Aayla didn't find a ball, but found a wind-up pink rabbit and decided that it was better anyway. She left the pile of discarded empty chocolate shells and wrappers on the table. "Found something!" She tried jumping down from the table, only to tangle in her robes and flop to the floor in a very un-Jedi-like manner. "Where's my wand, I think I need to shrink my clothes..."

[mageofanima.livejournal.com]

*Erky hasn't actually managed to start helping, since she's busy with her own clothes. By now, one boot is on her head, the other's nowhere to be found, and her cloak is reduced to a picnic blanket with sleeves. She says something muffled, then pulls the boot off her head and repeats herself.* That sounds like a good idea.

[blue-ataru.livejournal.com]

By this point, Aayla had managed to wrestle her wand and lightsaber off of her belt, dredged up the memory for a shrinking charm, and had charmed her clothes and boots to a more manageable size. They were still slightly too big, as her current attention span was a fraction what it usually was, but they weren't falling off of her as much anymore. She left her lightsaber the same size, though. The remaining adult part of her mind politely pointed out that shrinking it might harm it, and she had none of the correct components with which to make a new one here. "Want me to do yours, too?" she asked, brandishing her wand.

[mageofanima.livejournal.com]

Yes, thanks. *Alright, what Erky actually says is "Mmph, mmph," but this is because she's managed to get her head stuck up a sleeve. But she probably means "Yes, thanks."*

[blue-ataru.livejournal.com]

Aayla aimed her wand out, said what she hoped was the right words, and waited. "Is it better yet?"

[mageofanima.livejournal.com]

*Erky nods, having managed to get her head out of her sleeve just in time to avoid being strangled. The outfit is back to normal, if you discount the fact that one boot's still missing and it's on a five-year-old girl instead of a teenaged mage.* Lots better.

[blue-ataru.livejournal.com]

"That's good." She looked around, not seeing anything particularly interesting other than more unsuspecting people eating chocolates. "This place needs a playground or something."

[mageofanima.livejournal.com]

*Erky nods decisively and pulls out her own wand. She pauses and stares at it oddly for a minute.* Is there a spell that makes playgrounds?

[blue-ataru.livejournal.com]

"I don't remember one." She thought very hard. "We should get some rope and make swings."

[mageofanima.livejournal.com]

Um... Um... *Erky points her wand at the ceiling. Actually, she points the back end of the wand at the ceiling.* Incarcerous! *Ropes snake out of thin air, and in a moment Erky is quite firmly bound. She wobbles for a moment before falling over; luckily, her head hits a basket rather than the floor.* Darn.

[blue-ataru.livejournal.com]

Aayla had no idea of what type of spell to use to get rid of the ropes, so she fell on an old stand-by. She fumbled with her belt until she managed to pull her lightsaber off of it, made sure it was pointing the proper way (after all, safety is a Jedi's first responsibility) and took aim. "If you hold very still, this shouldn't hurt a bit."

[mageofanima.livejournal.com]

*Erky's eyes widen. She holds still, more because she's fascinated by the glowing sword than anything else.*

[blue-ataru.livejournal.com]

The balance was different than what she was normally used to, so she had to be very careful while cutting the ropes. "Can you get out now?"

[mageofanima.livejournal.com]

*Erky pulls her gaze away from the lightsaber.* Um... Yes! Thanks!
