The Baron leaves the sorting room (Open RP)

[i-am-harkonnen.livejournal.com]

The Baron was exceptionally relieved to leave the sorting room, which had been getting rather cramped.  Although it had been a somewhat enlightening experience, he now found himself filled with a great deal of questions, such as where to find decent rooms, where that library was, and, how to find the Muggle Studies Department. The hat had left him with a burning need to watch something called "The Maury Povich Show". Not understanding things was troubling, and this needed to be remedied.

He recalled that A did say he'd show him around, and, didn't say when, so, he decided now was as good a time for any, and looked around for one of those weird little house elves. Unsure of just what to do, he barked out, "House elf! Come here, now!", feeling rather silly about this. He made sure to not act surprised when one did actually show up. "Go and tell A that I need to know where things are." It ran off, presumably to do so. They sure are ugly little things, he thought, but, at least they do take orders. And looked easy to kick if they did happen to disobey.

Adjusting his suspensors slightly, he straightened out his robes, and took up a good portion of the hallway while attempting to wait patiently. This wasn't one of his strong points, unless it involved being patient with long and convoluted plans within plans.

"Here, I probably wouldn't be sure- there may be strange and unfamiliar things. Which I'd be very pleased to try." He smiled at A appreciatively. "I'm rather open minded with culinary matters, provided it's made well. Meals really should have meat of some sort, though." It was always good to be reminded that one was on top of food chain- the Baron had found cultivating a predatory outlook to be a useful thing.

"I'm pleased I won't be stuck down here- I wonder if it's the hat's idea of a joke." He smirked disapprovingly. "Ah well, finding something suitable will give me something to do, and, I don't have to see green while I'm asleep." Not that he was sure if he'd be able to- the lack of guards was likely to keep him awake for awhile.

"When I was in Hufflepuff, my room was not yellow and black, and my room in Ravenclaw is not blue and bronze," A told him. "So hopefully you will not have to see it."

He made a mental note of the Baron's meal request and started mulling over a possible meal. There were a few dishes he was perfecting, and some things he wanted to try...

"Ah, well then, that's good at least- I figured it might be a consistent decorating motif. It's not so much not liking the color, it does have it's place, as, a reminder of things that would prove very irritating to dwell on. For now, I expect those house elves can at least find somewhere quiet and comfortable." He'd have to make sure to mention that it couldn't be near the bar.

"They are very helpful that way." As they reached the entrance to Slytherin, the bar in question came into view as well. The door hung ajar, and strains of jazz drifted out, as did some suspicious-smelling smoke.

The Baron had to chuckle at what was an obvious bar in the basement of what was supposedly a school, even if an apparently chaotic one with an unclear purpose. "I suppose that there is the bar, very good to know." Admittedly, he wasn't the bar type, but, as many people were, he'd have to force himself to stop by one day. Building up connections would be important- so far, it at least had been interesting, and A was a pleasant one, even if not one in any position of power- cooking at least was a very admirable art.

"And, I also suppose I should flag down one of those house elves." He of course hollered loudly for one, despite the fact that one had actually emerged the first time he mentioned it at a reasonable volume. He was again impressed at how fast the creatures were, and, began to dictate it out a rather long list of requirements for "a" room, which happened to include three, one with a bath, preferably no green, and a window. Despite it being a basement. Considering this, he added "Well, the window is preferable, but not necessary." He hoped the house elf would manage something, and, figured he'd work on finding a wing to take over in the morning. Along with that Muggle Studies department.
