Game on. Hadley Denaker couldn't take being cooped up in the tower a moment longer. She'd reached her max for the day. That castle itself was huge and spacious so it was better, for now at least. Asher was, naturally, on her shoulder. The ash grey ferret was cleaning his coat at the moment. In a way, Asher had become her Pebbles over the summer. Only he didn't need a leash and sometimes bit her hair.
Not that Haddie minded. She'd trained him off biting her, or others, and that was enough.
She, herself, was merely wandering restlessly, headphones over her ears, really old rock from 100 years ago or more blasting on her enchanted iPod. The moving staircases were perfect, since she didn't really have a destination in mind, and they kinda just were random where they connected to and... ...
Um?
She rounded a set of steps and stopped. There was a professor... A PROFESSOR...lying in the middle of the stairs, face down. She slipped her headphones off her ears.
Um...
Should she get help? Go to the headmaster? Was he dead!? HE LOOKED DEAD!!!
0.0
Wait... the man was breathing. This was dupe! "Professor Flamsteed!!" She was channeling Rachel now, hands on hips and the whole bit. "Get up. You can't die without saying a proper goodbye to Pebbles! REALLY!" She scoffed and rolled her eyes.

| We'll play his Game Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. Torrance was to hurry down! He had to go see this Headmaster for himself! Nothing was to stop him. He'd go find this man! Sit outside his office until he either passed him by or invited him in. To which Torrance would then barrage the man with countless questions! It did not matter what questions would be asked just anything to make the Headmaster continue to talk!
Since the feast the Young Lion had become increasingly fascinated with the Old Guy's accent. He wanted nothing more than to just hear it over and over and over again until perhaps he could pick up on it, then proceed to impress his Cousin, and his Housemates with how awesome he sounded too! As he neared the staircases he hurried down a few flights before one began to move.
Dang it! Now he'd have to wait until this set would re-attach itself to the path he would need to get to the second fl....Is there someone on the Stairs laying face down? He moved over to the body and looked it over? He noticed another Girl was on the stairs with him as well (Hadley) so he looked at her briefly and smiled at her.
He had to lean over it and inspect the back only. Worried that maybe the Body was asleep, or worse. "You think he's Dead?" He looked at her curiously. He doubted that was the case.
Oh it was Mister Professor Head of House! That's what Hadley had said anyways. "Hi Mister Professor Flamsteed!" Torrance said with a Big smile. "What the Hell are you doing?" he knelt down squatting beside the Man and looked at him curiously. "Are you asleep or Dead? Did you fall on down the Stairs, that must of hurt? Loads of Stairs to fall down too. You know I fell down Stairs once at my Grandpa's scraped my Knee real bad because they're carpeted and I was wearing shorts. He had to get some Alovera or something and put it on my knee. Weird Stuff that. Not sure why you'd need it...Need it...Kneed...Knee.." He laughed "Knee get it. I hurt my knee." He stopped. The Joke probably wasn't funny. He looked over at Hadley once more and just shrugged. Did he ramble on again?
No seriously...what happened here?

If there was anything that the man had learned from the past minute or two it was that Hogwarts' students observational skills were lacking. No wonder so many odd things occurred at the castle right under everyone's nose. How did the one saying go again? Constant vigilance? Yes, everyone could use a good helping of that.
Dramatics of the duo aside, Airey was...curious as to how they would react to his Petrificus Totalus-like state. Still visibly breathing and with his eyes open - although the latter was difficult to notice with his nose pressed into the edge of one of the stair - the Astronomy professor remained silent to their inquiries.
Pity that both were too young to recall his shenanigans from his earlier terms here at Hogwarts.
Or they could...just join him. That was his ultimate goal anyway. Little collection of trendy plankers.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Andromeda Renzler-Denaker Gryffindor First Year | Fluttery Pegasi "No! I don't think he's dead." She folded her arms and tapped her foot impatiently at the Head of her true House. Where was the fun and excitement in this? He was acting like a log! "I think he's messing with us." Clearly.
Hadley nudged the man with her foot. "But... if he is dead, Pebbles is an orphan, and one of us should probably take him. He doesn't need to see Professor Flamsteed like this..." Yes, it was a thinly veiled threat. She was Ravenclaw, after all. There was no way that Airey would let any of them walk off with Pebbles. The man would move the second he thought Pebbles was being taken.
She nudged him with her foot again. "I guess you're dead!" She declared, loudly and dramatically then turned to the boy (Torrance). "Do you want to take Pebbles away from...this, or shall I?"
Your move Space Cadet.

| Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. He agreed. No way was Mister Professor Flamsteed Dead. He eyed the man on the steps briefly and noted that he was indeed breathing. "Yeah look there. his chest his rising so he's definitely not Dead."
Wait. "No he couldn't be?! Would he?" Actually "Okay yeah, maybe he would."
He sat down on the steps beside his Head of House and listened to this girl continue on about how now Pebbles would be an Orphan. He sensed some kind of sarcasm in her tone. Which to some could be viewed as a thinly veiled threat. Torrance was on to her. Don't forget he Hat Stalled the Sorting Hat Last Year. he could have gone to Ravenclaw. "I can't let you do that." Torrance declared. "As a Student and underling to my Head of House, if anything I should be the one to take care of Pebbles, and bring her back to her kind."
He eyed the Professor once more and gave him a wink. Tory's got your back. "What if...what if he's petrified? You know like he lost a duel to another Professor over some dumb adult argument. He could be messing with us, but we should cover all the bases too.
He leaned down further resting his arms on his legs as he young lion looked into the the Head of House's Eyes. he may have been sitting close enough that his fro brushed into the Professor's face as well. Whoops. Torrance went back a tad so as to not let that happen again. "Professor. Blink Once if you won a Duel but were tricked in the end and get Petrified. Blink Twice if you're a Loser?"
Blink once Professor BLINK ONCE!

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf Plank. Not a log. There was a distinct difference you see.
There were also other variations he COULD go with at a later date, but some of them would be more entertaining with a bit more of a crowd. Flashmob teapotting, for example.
But he digressed.
He was also making a bit of a mental checklist as the pair spoke and Miss Denaker had just lost herself some points for using the improper pronoun with Pebbles - thank you Mr. Spades for not doing that, but you were not in the clear either for improper tone with speaking with a professor. Thankfully, usually, the man was very efficient with keeping a mental checklist...as long as he did not get too distracted by other things which, well, would be quite difficult to accomplish given that he was nose down to the floor. Helped with the whole lack of visual sensory overload.
Although the stairs did NOT smell all that stellar. He would need to inform the house elves after this. Along with remind them about the shoe polishing festivities to take place in the Gryffindor common room later.
Gryffindor's shoes at the feast were STILL haunting him.
As for Pebbles, well, precautions had been taken care of in anticipation for a threat such as this and she would NOT be leaving his person. Spells and enchantments were a beautiful thing and the man not foolish enough to leave his companion defenseless while he had a bit of muggle fun.
As for Mr. Spades' er....questions...he was going to do neither as neither was the appropriate answer. So, no. No blinking.

| Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. Torrance continue to stare directly into the face of his Head of House. Not even getting a single blink out of him. "He's not responding." he said with a frown on his face looking back up to Hadley. He looked down to Flamsteed once more. Okay, the guy had to blink at some point right? "Well I guess no blinking is an answer in itself. He's definitely either petrified or just being weird." He quickly jerked his head back down! Did the Professor just move his Head....no, no just his imagination. Dang it! "Let's move him." the young Lion spoke as he stood up from the steps and took out his wand. "Petrified or just being stubborn, he's gotta be uncomfortable laying on the steps. Once the stairs set we should get him onto a Corridor Floor."
MMmmHmmm. cold hard and flat, is still better than cold hard and jagged

Hogwarts RPG Name: Andromeda Renzler-Denaker Gryffindor First Year | Fluttery Pegasi Hadley rolled her eyes. Boys were so dense. But still...maybe he was petrified. In which case she was really coming off insensitive and cold, like Katherine Moss. That's not good. "Uh, okay. There's an easy way to tell." Haddie pulled out her wand and aimed it at the Professor. "Finite!"
He still wasn't moving. So either he was faking it, or...Just to be sure she aimed the wand at him again. "Finite Incantatem!" She nudged the Professor with her foot again. Nope, definitely messing with them. "Yeah, I don't think he's petrified. Your Head of House is just weird." Though, in all honesty he should be her head of house too. Maybe she was a bit too hard on Kitridge last year. Sure he could be a bit rigid and uptight about things that were fun, but at least he didn't enjoy sniffing the stairs, or whatever this is. "If you steal Pebbles he'll definitely move to get her back." Apparently she had used the wrong pronouns, unless Torrance was using the wrong ones. But he was in Gryffindor, so she trusted he was right.

| astronomizzle ♧ gryffinDORK | & the rest is drag ♣ #badluckDerf The astronomer was going to take the use of 'weird' as a compliment right now. He had been petitioning to get some school memorabilia that read "Keep Hogwarts Weird". He would, probably, not don a suit for a day and wear a t-shirt with that on it. Maybe. Absolutely no promises there.
Maybe UNDER a suit? That seemed more probable.
And now the man was finding himself a bit distracted by thoughts of a previous conversation he had had with a certain former Head Boy over being referred to as a 'nerd'. It was amusing how much power people could give to something as simple as a word and associate such negativity. NOT that he was labeling either of the two in his presence of doing that. It was purely an observation of human behavior he had experienced.
Kind of like his associations with the words 'Ravenclaw' and 'female'.
But...what was going on? He had become lost in his thoughts he had missed essentially everything the pair had been discussing. Although he was sending pseudo metal signals at them to not knock anything until they had tried it - like planking. Certainly was a conversation starter. Har har.

| Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. So Hadley tried to reverse the petrified Professor, but nothing came of it. UUUUUUUUGH NOW THIS WAS JUST GETTING ANNOYING! Torrance sat back down and holstered his wand. He looked at the Ravenclaw displeased with her association with the Professor as being weird. The Professor wasn't weird, he was just different. Mister Professor Myers was WEIRD.
The Young Lion place a hand under his chin and rested his elbow on his leg, then huffed into a pout. He didn't want to admit that Professor was just being weird yet. Something kept urging him to find some other solution to this dilemma. Well maybe all but one solution. He'd rather not get to the final one he had in mind. That would make him very sad.
speaking of very sad. "Maybe he's just severely depressed. Something must have downed him so hard the gravity of it all just pressed him down against the steps here. He's unable to move just out of having little to no motivation to carry on until he's properly motivated with Cheery attitudes." Yes that must be it. "Can you sing and dance and be merry while I go bring Flamsteed his pet rock. Maybe a familiar face will bring him out of depression." He wasn't sure that Ravenclaw girls could do any of these things. Noting Kate Moss in the back of his mind as a prime example. He'll just have to trust that she's nothing like his academic rival.
He stood up from his spot on the Stairs then hurried off to the Professor's Office to retrieve Pebbles. She's their only hope now!

Hogwarts RPG Name: Andromeda Renzler-Denaker Gryffindor First Year | Fluttery Pegasi Seriously? Why did she have to be the one that...oh, there goes Torrence. And now it was just her and a severely depressed professor. Singing and dancing. She's got this. She's kinda been doing these since the start of the school year, mostly in private or to tease Drapes, but still. She's got this.
Hadley started out by dancing. Really hamming it up. Going all out. She felt completely ridiculous, especially since the Professor was face down, looking at stone steps and not her. Yeah, she was done with the dancing part.
Hads stopped and sighed and sat down next to Airey. "I'm sorry you're depressed." She wasn't expecting a response, nor did she get one. The silence lingered on a bit longer. Singing, then? Uhhhh... " Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. She was looking kinda dumb, with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead. "
Even though the Professor couldn't see it, Hadley made an L on her forehead. " Well, the years start coming, and they don't stop coming. Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running. Didn't make sense not to live for fun, your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb. " She was really starting to get into it now. " So much to do, so much to see, so what's wrong with taking the backstreets? You'll never know if you don't go, you'll never shine if you don't glow! "
Now, she was full-on belting it out, diva style. " Hey now, you're an all STAR, get your game on, go play; Hey now, you're a rock STAR, get the show on, get paid! " Every time she sang star she nudged the Astronomy Professor. He loved stars. " All that glitters is Go-old, Only shooting STARS break the mo-old! "
Was this working at all?

| For Jer! Browncoat l Extra Syrup l Kita's Strong Confident Other Half l Lemon Patch One of the few things that did fascinate Echo about this castle were the stairs. Aside from the fact that there were far too many of them, he thought it neat that they at least moved on their own accord. At least he did until he was stuck midlevel waiting for them to align themselves so he could go to where he thought the infirmary would be. Or was it on this floor? Damn school needed a map for it's size.
Until that happened, he was stuck. So he leaned against the stationary railing and watched the stairs move.

| Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. Torrance had returned.
A huge disappointing frown plastered all over his face as he descended the moving steps once more until he was within Earshot of what Hadley was doing.
This certainly brought a smile back on his face. "I love that song!" he said as he jived on over to her.
Unfortunately it did not seem to be the same case for overly depressed Mister Flamsteed. "No Luck? I had none either." he shrugged. "I couldn't get into his office. I kicked the door a few time to try and break in, and even tried just picking the lock."
To this he had a theory. "Maybe That's what's got him down. He's been locked out of his office, and that's where Pebbles is. Alone and in the Dark of the Office." he knelt down beside his Astronomy Professor and pat the poor man on the shoulder nudging him slightly while doing so and rearranging just how the man was laying down. Hopefully he wasn't lying on his keys, or anything hard and painful.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Andromeda Renzler-Denaker Gryffindor First Year | Fluttery Pegasi Hadley was really into it now. She was up and dancing in a rather goofy fashion. " Somebody once asked me could I spare some change for gas, I need to get myself away from this place. I said yep, what a concept, I could use a little fuel myself and we could all use a little chaaaange! " Oh, yeah, she was embarrassingly into it now. It wasn't like anyone was around to see it. " Well, the years start coming and they don't stop...errr."
She wasn't blushing. Nope. Face was red from the exertion of dancing... "How much of that did you see?" Because that was important, and stuff. "Um, so the office was locked? I might be able to pick it." She'd successfully picked her garden fence lock in an escape attempt over the summer. "Should I give it a try, or do you think we should try something else?" And forget about how embarrassing she just danced.
Hadley made her way back over to the steps, and sat down next to the professor, opposite of Torrence. "Professor," she said, nudging the man. "If you cheer up, I'll try extra hard in Astronomy!" When all else fails, bribe the guy!

| Mom says I have no sense of direction, so I packed my bags and right. He smiled. "I heard you from the top of the steps. Saw you dancing when I got closer." He added with a nod also again nudging the professor just slightly. "It was great. Had I known your were going to sing that. I'd have never left." "Totally Locked, like hardcore Wards and stuff I guess. I Alohamora'd the lock fifty times" He exaggerated the 3 times he attempted it. Torrance was sure he had that spell down since last term when his Uncle taught them how to use it. "Look here." He pointed at his feet. "I tried to kick it down but then my Foot got stuck to the door." If Hadley looked she would notice he down one of his school shoes now. "I bet if I tricked my Uncle he could show me how to break into Mister Professor Flamsteed's office." This was a highly unlikely scenario of course. Uncle Julien always suspected Torrance was up to something.
The young lion. Now totally bummed about the Astronomy Professor also began to resort to bargaining. "I'll go to Space. That's like Flying time two. I'll credit you entirely for my success in making it there." He figured it would be uncomfortable, but Torrance readjusted himself so he was now lying face down on the stairs. his eye contact not leaving the Professor's face.

The stairs were just one more thing on Nicky's growing list of things she hated about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Ridiculousness. Stuck on a landing waiting for some stairs to appear - to anywhere, frankly, she wasn't picky at this point so long as it was down - Nicky was just a level or so up from Echo. She peered over the railing of what was now practically a balcony as she waited. And waited. And waited some more. It was as if the stairs were skipping her in their rotation out of pure spite. "WHY IS EVERYTHING HERE SO IMPRACTICAL?!" Nicky groaned and slumped against the wall as her voice reverberated off the stone.
Any time now, staircase. Any time now.

She peered over the railing of what was now practically a balcony as she waited. And waited. And waited some more. It was as if the stairs were skipping her in their rotation out of pure spite. "WHY IS EVERYTHING HERE SO IMPRACTICAL?!" Nicky groaned and slumped against the wall as her voice reverberated off the stone.
Any time now, staircase. Any time now. He heard her before he saw her. The echos vibrated through the air and got picked up by his ears rather quickly since they were so close. "Impractical, but sorta neat." In his opinion. Shrug. Not that was overly impressed, but it was the only interesting thing here.
His eyes searched out where she was, both still waiting for the stairs to align. "This school isn't very useful when it comes to getting somewhere fast."

His eyes searched out where she was, both still waiting for the stairs to align. "This school isn't very useful when it comes to getting somewhere fast." Was... someone speaking to her? She sat up just a little bit, peering in the direction of the voice. It was.. a boy's voice? Maybe? Yes, she thought so. And then, that was quickly confirmed as she looked down a level and spotted him. "It would be neater" - she said the last word somewhat sarcastically - "if they could be summoned. I swear they conspire to keep me from class."
She pushed herself to her feet and again leaned over the railing to look down the stairwell. Too high to jump? Probably. "You any good with a levitation charm? Cause I'm just about fed up enough to chance it."

| For Corney~! A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
One of the things that truly amazed her were the moving staircases. They could also annoy her so much when she was already late for a class and the stairs decided to move in a different direction than where she was supposed to go. Today though, she had another free day as it was another weekend and she wanted to explore the place Professor Draper not Drapes had recommended. Somewhere behind the lake.
Dressed in her cloak less uniform this time, the Gryffindor bounced down the steps coming from the the top floor where her Common Room was to make her way downstairs. She waited , not so patiently, when a staircase began to move and then would continue on her journey to get outside in the fresh air--- "AAAH!" She only had time to scream shortly as she felt her legs go THROUGH the stair near the bottom and she had grasped the other stair with her arms. She had completely forgotten about the Disappearing-step. It was near the bottom of the staircase though so if she fell, she didn't fell down hard but she still didn't want that to happen. So instead she tried to crawl out of the trap but her arms were too weak to pull herself up. She should seriously get in to shape... "Can anybody help me?!" she shouted , her tone was more annoyed than frightened.

| for anyone Treat Yo Self | +2 | Enabler | Nerd | Blink Dante was bored and well everyone he knew was busy with something whether it was personal relationships or homework or whatever it was annoying. Even his girlfriend was busy. Though maybe she was just in the hufflepuff common room and Dante was too lazy to bribe someone to get in. That could be true. Anyway he was sitting down on the moving staircase and had the brilliant idea to practice his non verbals. Since well it would be nice to learn them
What he would be doing is changing everyone's hair color to a random color. He was that bored. He was not that successful at first. But he started to see some results and it was amusing.
This was a much better idea than napping .

This was a much better idea than napping . "Hey wait!" Down the staircases he ran, trying to beat the set that was about to depart without him. As it so happened, the boy NEEEEEEEDED those to get him to the next drop off location and didn't fancy taking the long way around. As it ALSO happened, the Universe was not on his side and with only a few steps left, the other case had swung off to rest at a new platform.
Crud.
With a huff, Blaise turned and headed for a set that led up before going down. It wasn't until he got onto this new set that he realized there was someone sitting here. An opportunity perhaps? Yes, it did seem that way.
Willing to forgive the moving staircase its earlier blunder, the Third Year marched up this new flight, his stack of fliers in hand. "Hey Dante. 'Chu doin'?" Did he want a flier? Surely he must have noticed the change in the girls around the castle too.

Surely he must have noticed the change in the girls around the castle too. Dante was not really expecting anyone to walk by him or even talk to him. Since well he was not even talking at all. Just looking like he was brooding on the staircase. Though he was getting decent with the spell after like an hour or two. Merlin how can one easy spell be this hard. Still the effects were amusing since nobody could really know it was him. Well they could connect the dots. But still.
Wait who was saying his name. Blaise. Was he skipping another class?
Not that Dante cared. "Practicing a spell. What have you got there?"
Dante ask pointing his wand at the stack of fliers in his wand.

Dante ask pointing his wand at the stack of fliers in his wand. A spell? Practising? But...but surely he'd have noticed something like that and made a beeline in the next direction. Blaise tried to think back, considering that he simply might not have heard the incantation in all his rush. Still...you'd think he'd notice something like that. "What sort of spell?" Not liking to cast magic didn't mean he was averse to the idea of others doing it. Hardly. It could sometimes be entertaining--so long as they weren't trying to force it on HIM.
The boy's question drew the Gryffindor's attention back to the fliers in his hand. "Oh! Here, have one. You can duplicate it and pass it along too if you'd like." Blaise handed him one...then another in case he lost the first or something equally as tragic happened. "Me and Bentley are trying to spread the word. There's a conspiracy going on in the castle. The Professors are doing weird stuff to us and it's already affecting the girls." Because naturally boys were immune to everything and that's why they were still normal despite eating the same food.
Obviously.
