Experiments and Propositions ((NSFW, closed RP Yukimura and Kuronue))

Yukimura considered for a while just how and where to show his newly acquired skill to his lover. For some reason, the room just didn't feel like the right place, the bare candles not fitting in with his more traditional Japanese decor. It would be too obvious. But, a change of scenery wasn't unheard of between them. He paced the hallways around the Room of Requirement for a while, thinking and making sure no one else was in it.

He also wanted Kuronue to be receptive to the rest of what he wanted to propose—being the 'prize' in an archery match between him and V and being willing to meet with the vampire. He knew his lover well enough that he had to tread carefully about the fact that he had needed help to walk to the Great Hall after allowing V to drink from him. But, if he was diplomatic enough, and he was sure he could be—it was his life, his job.

He sent a note to his lover and went in. The room accommodated him well. Along the wall, sconces with bare candles flickered. A four-post bed was in the center with tables on the sides, both holding three armed candlesticks, dark red candles flickering in them. The rest of the room was lost in flickering shadows, the walls only obvious because the sconces were on it. Above the bed, a candelabra flickered, thirty candles casting light over the bed. Yukimura walked around the bed, noting rings in each of the posts and in the drawer of both tables, lengths of rope waited.

He changed into a simple black yukata with a golden obi while he waited for Kuronue to join him.

Inside the castle, a table was set for a grand feast, and at the head of the table sat the most handsome prince imaginable. She sat down and ate the feast, but the food tasted like ashes. The prince's tongue flickered in and out of his mouth like a snake's tongue. Scatterheart shook her head.

'You're not my white bear,' she said, and left the castle.

Hannah had found the Hogwarts layout ... confusing. She had become lost multiple times, even finding herself opening a door that held a massive three-headed dog, in a desperate attempt, she had tried shutting the door only to be grazed by a gnashing tooth. The house-elves had helped her to the Hospital Wing to get bandaged. It was an ugly thing, white gauze was around her upper arm with a growing spot of scarlet leaking through. She sighed. Hannah needed help.

One kind house-elf had ushered her to the Computer Lab, where she now sat in her Hufflepuff robes, staring at a white box with a black face. She stared at it as the house-elf explained technology and computers and the specific speed of the 'Internet'. Hannah had never felt so lost, or so stupid. It took a lot of patience and coaching from the house-elf but she finally managed to post a message to the Hogwarts server:

Hello,

My name is Hannah Cheshire; a new student and Hufflepuff. The grounds of Hogwarts have been utterly confusing, and very difficult. I humbly ask if any student would be willing to help me, to show my the grounds so I don't find myself in trouble -- again? I've already had a situation with a giant, three-headed canine, so please, will anyone help me?

I shall await anyone willing, in the Computer laboratory.
