open RP: music is infectious. No, really.

Having been unknowingly infected with a self-replicating spell by the mischievous Simkin, Camilla went about her day quite as she always would. Since she'd heard inexplicable music in Simkin's presence it didn't seem to her strange that she should continue to hear it now. And because she happened to be in a fairly pleasant mood at the moment, the music she heard was not disconcerting. At the moment it was some nondescript and upbeat jazz, actually.

Being a fairly sociable person, she'd say hello to people she ran across in the halls. She had no way of knowing that her presence would also transmit the spell to them -- that was the self-replicating bit -- and that their own personal soundtrack would consequently follow them, mirroring their moods as hers was doing for her.

(( OOC: This one is Simkin-mun's idea! He says it's "a self-replicating meme, that attaches to people as they interact with one another, and plays music depending on their mood. ... if they've got a song stuck in their head, it'll play that. But if they're feeling predatory, it might play the Jaws theme, for instance."

If you feel like uploading songs, that's cool, but you don't have to. You can just describe them, as I've done, being lazy as I am.

Once a person is infected, they can then infect other characters. Eventually the spell will fade away and so will its effects. Have fun! ))

"I did. He ran on ahead of me, and boyoboy can that cat move."

She looked around the walls and ceiling. "I thought maybe it was your music he was after - I know he loves our windchimes. Is this a charm of yours? It's really neat."

"No, Simkin made the hallways musical." That was Camilla's story and she was sticking to it. "I don't know how, really. I don't think his magic is the same as Hogwarts magic. And it's an odd sort of spell. Mostly I just hear one kind of music, but then sometimes there are two songs playing at once, like now. He needs to work the bugs out if he's going to do this again."

Actually the spell was doing exactly what it was supposed to do. Camilla just didn't know it.

"Well, it beats messing around with the school's chocolate supply, that's for sure." Laura shrugged. "I better get back to the cat hunt. Thanks."

She waved and went past Camilla, the music (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=7AB927C351880375) shifting into a darker tune as she began worrying about her treecat's well-being.
