The Ancient Runes Office that had once belonged to Professors Iccunnav, Rierdan, Opterix, De Luca and Clark could no longer be recognized in its new state.

The walls had been painted a sassy lilac color, and pictures of medieval renaissance of ladies and their knights had been strung all around. Alessia Nicoletta Lupa had always had a flair for the romantic.

She had set up a Neapolitan Moka espresso pot in a corner on an old fashioned cast iron parlor stove she never left behind. The small iron stove had etched in it the Sowilo rune for warmth and the Ingwaz rune for familial love.

There were bookshelves, but they had been disillusioned and there was no desk and no chairs, but in the middle of the office there was what could be best described as a very large round fluffy ottoman. The odd furniture piece was shorter than knee level and from the circumference to about a foot in, had been upholstered in fluffy lilac faux fur, the softest anyone ever felt. In the center of it, was a round wooden piece, same height as the rest of it. On it, placed neatly in a circle, were ten antique demitasse cups, overturned on their saucers and in the center a large platter, in the same pattern, on which the house elves would deliver daily cookie, or cake, or anything sweet that fancied Alessia at the time.

The china was a gift from her mother, who’d received if from her mother before that… and so one from generations, and she was to give it to her daughter… a sore spot for her.

Alessia doesn’t believe in closed doors, unless who she is meeting with at the time needs privacy to talk. So if she is alone on her office, she is no doubt meditating on her ‘fluffy’ (the name she calls the ottoman like piece of furniture,) so the door will be open, if there is someone in the office with her, the door will be shut.

"Oh." Copernicus was mortified, and his cheeks burned bright. How was he going to ask for what he needed when he'd already proven to be a complete idiot in front of this professor? He gulped and shook his head. "No, thank you, ma'am. I couldn't eat a thing." It would stick in his throat and he'd die.

Droo · 01-26-2009, 04:48 AM

"Would you prefer a cup of espresso?" she asked petting the boy's head. "I could also get you some... water." Why was this boy blushing. Did she embarrass him? "Copernicus, why did Rey send you to me?" She asked curiously.

Cassirin · 01-26-2009, 04:51 AM

"Water, yes. Water would be good," Copernicus agreed, wondering why she was petting his head. He fiddled with the fur on the top of the fluffy thing they sat on. "I'm on a quest, and the Headmaster said you could get me some lotion." He said it very quickly.

Droo · 01-26-2009, 04:55 AM

"Uhmmm..." what?? "Lotion?" She repeated and stood. "What kind of lotion? I have different kinds..."

Cassirin · 01-26-2009, 04:58 AM

"I don't know. She didn't say," Copernicus looked distraught. "The sort of lotion you might get from a poltergeist, please."

Droo · 01-26-2009, 05:04 AM

"Poltergeist?" She asked. But it was more to herself... what would a poltergeist use as lotion... "I would think the lotion a poltergeist would possess would be a stolen one... Something he could smell, something fruity..." She summoned a berry scented lotion. "Would this be alright?" She asked him, putting a little on her hand and rubbing it on his hand.

Cassirin · 01-26-2009, 05:10 AM

And now he smelled like... fruit. Copernicus sniffed his hand with interest. "Yes, Professor. I think that will do quite nicely. I doubt she'll believe a poltergeist gave me anything, but hopefully she'll enjoy the story as it stands. Thank you so much."

Droo · 01-26-2009, 05:12 AM

"Oh," she smiled... he was doing this for a little girlfriend, was he... "It was my pleasure, and I hope she enjoys it my dearest."

Cassirin · 01-26-2009, 05:14 AM

"Thank you again," he rose and bowed slightly. "If there is anything I can do to repay you, I would be honored. A quest for you, perhaps?"

Droo · 01-26-2009, 05:20 AM

"A quest?" she said intrigued. "I cannot think of one at the moment, but if you would be so kind as to let me 'rain-check' it, Brave Sir Knight, I will come up with something for you to do for me."

Cassirin · 01-26-2009, 10:04 PM

"Thank you," he bowed one last time and headed for the door. "Good day to you, Professor Lupa."

Rey finally found the ancient runes office and knocked on the door. He was wearing the lotion.

Droo · 01-28-2009, 02:40 AM

Alessia moved to the door and as she did she could smell the rose scented lotion. She opened the door and leaned against the door frame. "I see you got my gift." She said with a smile.

Biochemkris · 01-28-2009, 03:06 AM

He laughed. "Yeah. Thanks. I guess that kid... Kettleburn... found you?"

Droo · 01-28-2009, 03:08 AM

"He did," she said straightening up. "Would you like to come in Rey?"

Biochemkris · 01-28-2009, 03:10 AM

"Sure, I have some time for once. You hear about my beginner's class?" he asked as he stepped inside and looked around.

Droo · 01-28-2009, 03:13 AM

"I did not... oh no..." she said closing the door behind him, "Oh please don't tell me some student set fire to your classroom." She said thinking of a prior incident at one of the other schools.

Biochemkris · 01-28-2009, 03:22 AM

"Oh, even better than that," he grinned and slapped his hands together, then rubbed the together, vigorously. "Peeves showed up and splattered Masterson with Singing Suspension!"

Droo · 01-28-2009, 03:30 AM

"You are joking!" she said with a smile. "Let's see, Masterson is the... Groundskeeper, right?" She asked, "So? Did he sing?" She asked curiously,
"Scratch that, stupid question... WHAT did he sing?"

Biochemkris · 01-28-2009, 03:32 AM

"There's no business like show business like no business I KNOOOW!" Rey gave a rather poor imitation of Masterson's lovely voice. "And some Greased Lightning in between singing everything he said," Rey cracked up.

Droo · 01-28-2009, 03:37 AM

"Oh that poor chap," she said giggling right along with him. "Coffee?" She asked sweetly. "Did any get spilled on you?" She asked curiously. She would have enjoyed watching the Headmaster's performance.

Plymouth was wandering around aimlessly through the halls. Which actually meant that he couldn't find the seventh floor and kept losing the battles on the staircases. So, when he found an interesting sort of office, he knocked to see what lived inside it.

Biochemkris · 01-28-2009, 03:47 AM

"No, I just got pooped on," he laughed and pointed to the door. "I think you have more company so I might have to take a rain check on the coffee."

She put her hand on his and smiled not saying a word. She stood and went to the door. "Hello there, How may I help you sweetheart."

Mad Eye Touz · 01-28-2009, 03:58 AM

"Ooh." Plymouth did a running tally of the teachers he'd met so far. It went like this:

1. Very scary, very senile old man - probably wore a diaper and was bitter about it

2. Very, very pretty blond Arithmancy lady that liked to smile and wink at him

3. Another blond that already had a pet name for him and a hint of slightly eccentricity.

After that inner head stuff, Plymouth finally answered, "Um... I was literally just walking up and down this hall. Your door looked nice. So I knocked. I wanted to say hi?"
