Open RP - The Muggle Studies Department

[i-am-harkonnen.livejournal.com]

The Baron Vladimir Harkonnen enjoyed his 'walk' (he was floating, so it was a somewhat inaccurate term) to the Muggle Studies department with Octavian as his eloquent and informative escort. He was intrigued to hear of the apparent technological focus of the place, and even more intrigued to actually see it when they arrived.

Vladimir took in the surroundings with interest- there were a number of screens that caught his notice, possibly the televisions? And apparently, there was indeed a kitchen. Which was a very useful thing to have around, even if he wouldn't use it himself. Proximity was what mattered, and, he anticipated spending a good amount of time here.

Octavian explained what he was familiar with, and Vladimir noticed that despite the technological devices and unusual culinary accoutrements, it did have standard classroom trappings like shelves with books, and things that resembled books. He'd have to look into those later, as, when Octavian turned on one of the televisions, which appeared to be stuck on CNN, Vladimir was immediately fascinated. There were advanced technologies in his era, but for some reason, they didn't have television, and amused themselves with almost medieval forms of entertainment. So this was a remarkable discovery.

It wasn't just the oddly-dressed announcers explaining the current events of the day that were fascinating and informative, there were advertisements too! How ingenious! The Baron was baffled as to why the Imperium did not have this technology- the ability to stream information at people in such an easy to ingest format, regulated of course, along with telling them what they wanted as consumers, would have been a remarkable asset. It did not take long for the Baron to tell the house elves to bring him dinner and a couch. He was curious about the things that Octavian didn't know how to operate, but, figured that someone at Hogwarts was bound to know, or he'd figure it out by experimentation later. But for now, he was sitting on the couch and staring at the television, entranced.

The Transporter Delivers ((Closed RP, Akabane, Kurama, Karasu))

The job had been quite entertaining. While seemingly simple, pick up a box and return it to Hogwarts, there had been very entertaining guards and detractors along the way. At first, the maker didn't want to part with it for a 'mere human'. Akabane's signature on his lackey's back had changed his mind about that protest. Akabane had tipped his hat politely before he turned to leave. Sadly, it was too late for the maker. Ah, well. Jackal smiled as the J exploded just as he closed the door.

The box seemed to draw out many other demons, they didn't appear human enough to be otherwise. Most of them were frightfully straightforward and dull. A couple presented quite the challenge. The blades he'd purchased in Scotland before leaving seemed to hold up quite well, though they lacked the utter finesse of his scalpels.

All in all, Akabane was quite pleased when he returned to Hogwarts, the box safely under his arm, only a few stains on its surface to mark his entertainment of his journey. He went to the greenhouses and sought Kurama, thinking he'd find the professor there.

Owl to Glorfindel

Dear Glorfindel,

I've heard that you have been sorted. I'm glad you didn't get thrown out of the school.

Are you still interested in tea with me?

Signed, Princess Toadstool

Peach!

Table for Two (Closed RP, River/A, possible NSFW)

Another day well-spent studying, exploring, and playing with cats and a very solemn tarsier was coming to a close when River noticed a note left for her on her desk. It was an invitation from A to join him for dinner (and so sweetly formal it was, too) and obviously an offer she wouldn't dream of refusing.

She was about to turn around and leave immediately, but paused. Wouldn't be such a bother to wear something nicer than Hogwarts-brand salvation army Room of Requirement stuff. So she raided her closet, found something a bit nicer (probably left behind by another student, or the her that had been here before, considering the fit) and then set on her way, quite content.

Application: Rat Lord Vishnu's Love Handles (book)

The small young man paced back and forth in his cell. He'd already inspected everything in the room. The chair and the table could be used as weapons. If he stood beside the door long enough, he could hit whoever came in and escape. But if he did that, he still might not get out anyway. Better to patiently wait and listen to what they had to say, even if he lost the element of surprise.

Right now they were probably torturing Sage and would kill her and he'd never see her again and it was all his fault and they'd come and torture him too. He paced faster.

Even taking a test started to look better than sitting here doing nothing.

( Alright, I'll do this. )

"Well, see. If you have my sister and you haven't hurt her I'll go back to working for you. I won't track you down and kill you like an animal or anything." He checked his pockets "And I have lottery tickets." He waved the bundle. "Lottery tickets, right here."

((Rat, like Sage is an empath and an Influencer. He also has amazing waif-fu IC. If you're supernaturally fast or strong, you can beat him, no problem. If you're some kind of master ninja, you can beat him. If you're good at martial arts, he probably has a chance of at least landing a punch.
