"Candy?" Cela offered, an innocent expression on her face as she held out the seemingly harmless bag of candy that she had so obviously been enjoying. Most people found them so hot they practically breathed fire and had steam shoot out their ears.

Her eyes widened as he put on another show, this time reminding her of her brothers when they came home after being out 'studying' all night.

"How many people you got in there?" she asked curiously, tipping her head.

Samson put a hand to his chin and started stroking lightly.

"Hmm, I like the way you think, candy girl," he said, grinning at her. Come to think of it, he and Gavin had such talent, not only with Sherlock and Watson, but with a eckload of other impersonations and stuff. They could really make a fortune out of their talent, considering that pranks were a part of their every day routine.

Then the girl offered him candy and his smile faltered slightly. He eyed the bag cautiously, and grimaced. "Eh. No thanks, candy girl. Sugar makes me high, and I don't like myself when I'm high," he relayed, wrinkling his nose slightly at the horrifying thought.

At the girl's last question, a corner of Sam's lip upturned once more, if only slightly. He stepped one big step in front of her, and grinned exaggeratedly wide. "I'VE GOT A TON," he started in a loud voice, "of people in here," he continued in a whisper as he pointed to himself. "I've got Americans, Brits, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, and whatever foreignese you can think of," he then spoke in a quick manner, effectively incorporating the proper accent as he spoke the country. "And if thou shalt be willing to see them," - he knelt down in front of her in a Romeo-ish way, then jumped to his feet. "I'd be more than happy t', lil' lady." And he finished in a rodeo-ish accent, tipping forward a pretend hat.

No joke, doing these things were exhausting! Perhaps he should get paid.

"Sorry mate, I don't know you ..." Antwone said shaking his arm off his shoulder. "Just be sure to play nice alright ..."

Samson was not surprised that the guy was immediately forgetful. Oh well. It wasn't like he couldn't renew the image.

He stepped in front of the guy, gripped him by the shoulders, and looked at him with wide, frantic eyes. "Johnny? Johnny?! Why don't you remember me, Johnny?! Oh geez, what've they done to you? Oh no. Oh no! We were too late, weren't we? Weren't we, Johnny?! They took your brains out!"

One of his favorites, surely, was the calling other people random names and introducing himself as someone else.

Nia tilted her head thoughtfully. She would not let this guy get to her. Just because she was a first year, it didn't mean she was stupid. Though this guy evidently though she was. Gah. Were all guys out there to be annoying? Theo certainly went out of his way to frustrate her, and it seemed this boy was too. Even Elan had managed it with keep laughing at her in the Leaky Cauldron.

"I don't believe everything I read," she said with smile. Else I'd think all boys were like Prince Charmng, which they're definitely not she added mentally with a smirk. "As for the giant squid, didn't you just say 'as far as you know another tentacle grows ten seconds afterwards? Doesn't that mean you're not certain and therefore not seen it yourself?" Ah yes, Nia was sure she was onto something good here. She might be young, but she was well read beyond her years, and she knew it. She smiled. "Perhaps then you'd like to show me the correct method for examining a Giant Squid sometime, so you can be certain on the time it takes, and teach me a few things at the same time? I can provide the stopwatch."

"You people? What others are there?" She looked about her, wondering if Barry was being classified into the same group as her. "And what's wrong with competitiveness? You don't win anything without that. My Daddy said so. He played Quidditch for the Ballycastle Bats." She smiled. "Don't you studying is fun? I do. I love to learn new things." It was true, she did. Usually to show off her knowledge, but here it had the added bonus of points as well. Why else would she have been sorted into Ravenclaw?

"Funnier things than moving staircases and disappearing steps?" Nia smiled, proud she hadn't been caught out by either of those yet. And then the guy winked at her. She looked slightly taken aback, before giggling. That guy was funny. "Hang on," she said slowly. "Would these funny things be to do with the castle...or other means?"

"Yeah, yeah. I'm sure you don't," Samson said with sarcasm, waving his hand in the air once more. He evidently had no intention of believing her. "And as for the Giant Squid, I have seen it for myself, thanks very much. For the 4 years I've been here, I've surely seen it. And I have seen a cut-off tentacle, too. You should try exploring Hogwarts more. Like, the grounds and all the floors and stuff." He didn't like to elaborate. He was getting bored and lazy with all this explaining. And besides, the girl was another classic know-it-all, using words that first years weren't supposed to use yet.

It reminded him of Issy. And then he couldn't help but steal a glance at the girl. She had been particularly quiet.

Anyway, the only thing that gave him humor at the moment was the mental image of the girl's horrified face if she ever stepped onto a moving staircase with the trick step with no one around to help her. That would be priceless, and Samson was so going to be there.

"And, well, I'm not exactly going to say anything, but Hogwarts is truly a funny place to be. Weird, and screwy, and all that strange stuff, y'know."

Quote:

And then he completely changed. Ah, if she managed to get past the 'stupid first year stage' with this guy, she reckoned he could be quite a good laugh. Someone who'd definitely ensure she wouldn't get stressed. She couldn't help but giggle at his new 'character' as it were, and getting into the scene feigned shock and then the said shame. She looked worried, and blinked her eyes repeatedly.

"The headmistress?" she said pathetically, as part of her 'weaker' character. She couldn't take him seriously in that voice to actually believe him, so instead she mocked a faint mixed with a damsel in distress on the seat beside him. If he was having fun, Nia was so going to join in.

Aww. No. Samson wasn't that bad, to actually mean to tell on her. Besides, he was the trouble-maker and prankster wasn't he? Why would someone like that tell on someone innocent?

Oh. That's right. Because he wouldn't tell, but he'd let the girl believe he was going to. Heh.

"Yes, the headmistress," he mimicked the girl's voice, coupled with a pathetic impression of batting eyelashes. He never was good at that. It was so... girly. "So you behave, or else I will send you up to your room!"

Quote:

Wow, another change in character? Nia sat up, smiling. Her association with Sherlock Holmes was correct by the sounds of his strong accent. "Ah, but my dear sir, that is understandable, I would not which to embarrass either myself, or indeed for that matter, you." She smiled, enjoying speaking with a slightly posh accent. Her cheeks flushed slightly at being called 'my lady'. She didn't why, they just did.

"I would be Miss Newtington, Mister Watson. Nia if you so wish."

She dropped her character, and grinned at the next guy that came in. And the girl who was giggling. This is was fun...so much better than acting out Toy Story with her brother. Not that she understood Watson's words to the other guy. Oh well, you couldn't have everything.

And finally the girl's name. Nia, was it? Nia was a know-it-all, for sure. One of the true blue Ravenclaws, who looked at themselves as smart, and lived and breathed books and education. Of course, he was an alright fan of reading, but the books he read weren't the ones required for school. Fiction was more of his forte, and since Hogwarts didn't have that subject, he didn't entirely bother anymore.

"Pleasure, Miss Nia Newtington," he said in is Watson-voice.

He had to resist the urge to take her hand and, ugh, kiss it.

Watson was channeling into him too well.
