Jack wandered down into the common room it was at some point in time, he didn't know quite what it was anymore, the choices he figured were that it was either disgustingly early or disgustingly late. Either way was awake. He's also got books. Which means he's thinking, that could be the reason he's not asleep. He dumps them on a table haphazardly and making a noise before sitting behind them. Where to begin, he sighs.
Open RP: Kate Goes for a Walk
Jun. 1st, 2006 12:39 am![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
((Following the events of her conversation with Sawyer (which, admittedly, isn't finished yet)))
Kate gets quiet when she's mad.
The normally life-filled sounds of the corridors and stairs and rooms of the subterranian wing of the castle usually filled Kate with a mood of pleasant irony... a silent small joke on the decades and centuries of dark Wizards who had called Slytherin thier home. Evil, she surmised, seemed to prefer silence and brooding contemplation and hidden grottoes where small groups can conspire inconspicuously... but whoever had designed the long corridors and hollow spaces in the bedrock beneath the school had instead turned the entire place into an echo factory.
And normally, she'd love it.
But today, the stairs rising from the dungeons seemed restless to her, too filled with echoes of dripping water and the faraway sounds of footsteps on smooth stones. It drove her a little mad to be surrounded by so much random sound when all she wanted to do was think... to be alone with her thoughts and away from him.
So she climbs quickly, almost jogging as she reaches the hallways of the first floor, breaching quickly into the entrance hall and through the doors onto the grounds. Sitting heavily on the steps, she sets to retying the laces on one of her shoes... but stops almost immediately to just breathe, head propped up on an arm splayed awkwardly across her knees.

Owl from Agent Cooper to the Sorting Hat
Jun. 1st, 2006 01:34 am![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
Agent Cooper knows from his investigation into Sortings that you can't go wrong by flattering the Sorting Hat. He's also gleaned an inkling of what the Hat likes. Therefore he eschews his normal brisk memo format, and pulls out all the stops.
Most esteemed Sorting Hat:
A colleague and I are conducting an investigation into the nature of your puissant institution, Hogwarts School. We think the results will greatly enhance the school's international reputation.Incidentally, that would increase the number of applicants who are wealthy and prone to cause drama. There is no one better placed in the Hogwarts community to assist with this investigation than you, since every applicant to the school must converse with you during the Sorting process. Would you consider lending your formidable skill and charm to this endeavor?
Respectfully,
Special Agent Dale Cooper
Ravenclaw

Ooc: Elizabeth Swann

One of my friends used to play Elizabeth, but she got too much for her. So without popcorning her, she gave her to me. I haven't quite got round to getting her back into action: I've not really had the time. Now, however, I can give her my full attention. Sorry for the unexplained hiatus. Anyway, just letting you all know that there's a new Elizabeth-mun.

Wood-mun,
Nothing spectacular, just icons from screen-caps. I'm damned tired nowadays. But if I hit a creative bit, at some point this year (after the move and the tired and the brain melt) I'll just post it up.
( 4 Would-be, Wood icons. Pick whichever you like or all. )

Detective Ron: On the Case!

Several crumpled up parchments lie on Sirius's Ron's desk. He had to get a meeting with Harry's "parents" and keep the heat up on Malfoy. He couldn't let them know he was suspicious, either. Even if Lily and James weren't paid off by Malfoy, he couldn't let Harry's parents think that their son's best mate didn't trust them! What if they forbid Harry from seeing him again? Could they do that?
And he couldn't let Harry in on it, either. It would probably crush him! And no way he was letting Harry know that he was meeting up with James. He might think that Ron was abandoning him. The Slytherin knew about heroes and their daddy complexes!
It was all very confusing.
