Sock and closed RP: Dinner dates - Brienne/Methos

( But first, indulge me in some socking )

*********

Well, here she was, and here was the moment of truth, when she'd finally learn if Oly's advice had been sound. Brienne was still dubious about this prospect. She was in Muggle jeans--something she'd bought herself because wearing armor indoors was not always pleasant for everyone else around her, and she found the trousers more comfortable to move around in than wizard's robes. Over the jeans she wore a simple cotton tunic-style top. She didn't appear as if she'd rolled off the sparring field, but neither did she look dressed up.

The one concession to femininity she'd allowed herself had been a splash of perfume, and even that didn't have a terribly feminine smell.

She stood waiting at the entrance to the Great Hall, feeling lost, even though it was a room she'd been in dozens of times before. Nervousness was not an emotion that suited her, and it was one she was particularly uncomfortable with. She told herself over and over that she could handle this. Everything would be fine. She just needed to relax and have a good time, and not assume that Methos had any expectations other than the same thing.

When she eventually spotted him, she straightened her shoulders and marched across the room. Though she never would have put it this way, 'fake it til you make it' seemed like a useful idea, and she certainly didn't want him to see that she *appeared* as nervous as she was.

[Open RP] Making plates

[gourmetchairman.livejournal.com]

When Chairman Kaga opened the door to the Room of Requirement to find a replica of the house he had learned to make plates so long ago, he had been surprised, but not displeased. While he hadn't been any good at it, he DID find the time there enjoyable.

And this way, he could keep his wand at easy reach, in case of emergencies, and leave the door open so people could visit.

Having come to that decision, Kaga changed into more clay-friendly clothes and set to work.

Application: Shoggies! (The Unspeakable Vault of Doom)

[shoggies.livejournal.com]

A very concise history of the Shoggies.

The Shoggies are a cracky version of Lovecraft's Shoggoths, and when they speak of other Mythos creatures, they will be speaking of the cracky UVoD versions, hence "Cthulhoo" instead of the proper "Cthulhu", "Nyarly" instead of "Nyarlathotep", etc. There's about 20-some shoggies currently swarming the Sorting Room, but with Shoggies, this is a very mutable number.

Shoggy: "Sooo cool!"

SPLAT! The sound of a Shoggy, falling, through a non-euclidean hole in space, and hitting the floor to break into multiple Shoggies.

Shoggies: "Oooh, hi there Shoggy!" "Oh hi Shoggy, are you new or am I new?" "Oooh, what's this?" "Sooo cool!" "Tekeli-li!" "Did someone summon us? Can we eat them?" "I need an eye! I don't have any eyes!"

The sound of multiple Shoggies, now scattered around the Sorting Room, most on the floor, but a few are draped over the furniture. The strange beings are amorphous masses of quivering pink flesh, spotted with seemingly random and shifting eyes and and teeth- although a few of the Shoggies haven't been lucky enough to end up with an eye after the splattering impact. Even the tiniest bit of Shoggy quivers with a unearthly sentience.

The shoggies mill around the Sorting Room, apparently fascinated by their new environment, which is apparently 'sooo cool' by most of their estimates. Amidst a idiotic babbling of 'new' Shoggies introducing themselves to the others can be heard the occasional pertinent statement.

Shoggy 1: "What's this, Shoggy?"

Shoggy 5: "It's a paper! It's sooo cool! I bet it invoked us!"

Shoggy 7 3/4 : "What's it say? I don't have an eye!"

Somehow, despite the general cacaphony of stupid babbling, a few of the Shoggies manage to focus their attention, if not their non-existent intellect, upon the application.
