::Open RP: House of Cards::

[cardarchitect.livejournal.com]

Still stinging from that tense... was it really an argument, or something else?... with Matt an Mello, Near had wandered down to the library with the intent of studying.

He gave up the seventeenth time he caught himself reading the table of contents of Wilson's Apotropaics.

But he had thought to put several decks of cards (tarot cards, at that!) into his pockets, and what better way to calm his mind than to build a house of cards?

He made his way to the Great Hall and found an empty corner away from any doors, and started stacking.

Wishbone was in the Great Hall for no reason at all. Absolutely none. He certainly wasn't there to sneak into the kitchen and steal some food.

But it was no fun, really, the house elves let him get away with it.

So he managed to make off with some steak, which he ate down to the bone. She's about to start to gnaw on the bone, but he smelled a familiar scent.

He carefully picked up the bone and followed his nose to Near.

Ah! Sir Wishbone is on duty, sir! he exclaimed on seeing Near building card buildings. He jumped on the nearest bench and started lookout.

"Huh. Cool!" Konata was reading about the Polyjuice potion. It had given her ideas about cosplaying and disguises and what not....now if she could find a victim test subject...

She heard voices over in one corner, and noticed white hair peeking out from there. She crept over there.

Hey, it's Near! But...hey, what's with the not-white shirt?

"That's out of character for you!" Konata yelled, making Wishbone turn and growl at her.

Cuddy was fine with anything that took her attention away for a little while. Anything at all, it didn't make any sort of difference to her at this point. So the cards, their climbing stack and apparent order, were something to detain her for the time being.

Not moving too quickly so as to avoid upsetting the delicate balance, she took a position a few feet away and watched. It was careful construction, really .. more careful than she'd seen anyone be in awhile.

So he'd played Metal Gear for as long as he could, but... yeah, still feeling too restless for it. Matt then thought it might be an idea to go looking for a computer lab - wandering around at least got him moving - and since computers labs tended to be located near libraries, that's where he was headed.

He was preoccupied enough to barely even notice the card tower until it was right in front of him.

Ah.

"I'll just... yeah," he said, backing up. There was probably some other way to the library anyway.
