| | Portraits  The walls in the first-floor corridor are covered in tapestries and, hung over them, are portraits of numerous wizards and wizards. Whether you are trying to get to class or are just browsing around, the portraits here will try to start up a conversation with you. If you manage to get on their good side, they'll be willing to reveal secret passageways, share the latest school gossip, and more.
If you have time to spare, definitely go on a brief tangent from whatever it is you are doing. Google Stump is your man to go to if you're looking for answers about the mysteries of the castle; Beaumont Marjoribanks can tell you everything there is to know about gillyweed; and Elizabeth Burke ... well, it would be best to just avoid her for reasons that will be obvious should you strike up a discussion with her about magical blood status. There are other portraits here as well, each with their own unique personalities, and figures from other portraits happen to invade their frames from time to time. OOC: Please do not role-play for the Portraits.

So much so that she sometimes strolled through the portrait gallery to see if any of them were particularly talkative. Because she had questions. Many questions.

Keeping up with studies, being prefect, AND distracting herself from her feelings for Noah was almost like having a 24/7 job. She had also made time to practice without her gloves every so often, and writing back and forth to both Paige AND her therapist...it was all very busy.
She was down from the Astronomy tower and as passing by the portraits as she saw her. By the time she realized, however, that it was Val, it was too late to turn around without it looking completely obvious that she was avoiding her. So she just...tried to slide by, but that, too, was awkward.
So she just sighed. "Val."
And that was the greeting the Ravenclaw would get from her.

And that was the greeting the Ravenclaw would get from her. Valencia was busy looking at all the portraits that she didn't even notice Aboli until the Slytherin greeted her. What did one even say to someone who made it very clear she had no desire to be friends? Was Valencia supposed to ignore her? Act pleasant? Act... normal?
She had no idea.
She stepped to the side. "Aboli." she said simply echoing the other girl's greeting.

She had no idea.
She stepped to the side. "Aboli." she said simply echoing the other girl's greeting. And in ABOLI'S HEAD, she was under the impression Valencia care to not be friends with her. Aboli had spent whole EVENINGS crying over her loss of Valencia; not that she would ever tell Val this. She hadn't even really told Royse this. Royse was not a help at all when it came to her and Val's friendship; in fact, she'd argue that he had made their situation much worse the last time he tried to get involved.
It was hard trying to get someone to understand how you felt when that person could see the depths of how emotions worked. Val thought I was mad she was studying so much...I wasn't mad about that. I was mad she made me feel quite CRAP about my own scores and my badge. And now...who knows what she thinks. She often wondered if Val even had the capacity to miss her. Currently, Aboli thought she didn't.
Instead of trying to just awkwardly slip by, she decided to make conversation against her better judgment. "What are you doing here? Looking at the portraits?" she pointed at one of them, an empty frame. She wondered who belonged in it and where they had gone!
Luckily she was wearing her gloves so that her hand!sweat was hidden. Yikes.

It's endlessly fascinating -- they're snapshots into bygone times that, possibly, are just like their subjects." She'd formed quite a few thoughts on magical paintings during her magical theory studies.
She stared up at an empty portrait lost in thought. She wondered what it was like to be a portrait. She wondered if she'd ever go through the process herself. Although she couldn't really picture herself as anyone noteworthy enough to sit for one, or teach one.

And the answer was also totally on par with something Val would say. "Yeah...it would be interesting to interview them and stuff. Anybody hooooome?" she called out, suddenly, at the portraits. It would be NICE if they were here when they needed them to be. "Seems like whenever I don't feel like talking to them, they're annoyingly around...and yet.." she gestured at a few of the empty frames. Alas.
The Slytherin finally glanced over at Valencia. "Do you miss my presence in your life at all?" she asked softly, as if she wasn't being accusatory because she wasn't. She was curious.

Valencia kept her eyes on the portraits. "That was my plan." she said slowly. But it seemed like the portraits did not want to cooperate with said plan. "Maybe I'll have to try some other time..."
SIIIIIGH.
She blinked a few times not sure how to answer that question. Was... should she answer that honestly? There wasn't a reason not to, she supposed. "I miss the person I thought I had in my life." she replied simply.

She was much more interested in the next statement, which made her stare for a loooooong time at Valencia. Had Val lost her mind???? Aboli was starting to think so. "....I can say the same about you." She sighed and shook her head.

"....I can say the same about you." She sighed and shook her head. Valencia was very confused by that response. "I'm not the one that suddenly decided they didn't like the other's personality." she snapped. Valencia hadn't changed at all. School had always been very important to her. She'd always been somewhat of a perfectionist and hard on herself. Just because there wasn't giant exams where her future hung in the balance this year, she was determined to ace the ones that came next year.
She then turned her attention back to looking at the empty portrait.
Hmph. She was fine. Totally fine. She wassss quite enjoying herself actually.

Aboli glared. "I didn't realize part of your personality was putting our friendship on the backburner. I apologize. I guess since you have Royse you didn't need me anymore," she shrugged. "Which is fine." It wasn't...but ok.
Ok.
Aboli was not going to cry or show emotion. She could be a robot, too.

Aboli was not going to cry or show emotion. She could be a robot, too. Valencia raised an eyebrow. "You can't seriously be jealous of books." she said with a near eyeroll. VALENCIA LIKED BOOKS. EVERYONE knew that. It's not something that was going to change.
Really? "What does Royse have to do with anything?" Other than he understood things that were important to her.

| A Poop * k8 * "I can damn well be jealous of books once they've surpassed me in importance to YOU," she suddenly was LOUD. VERY LOUD. And flailing her arms around. "Jesus - I WISH just - that I could get YOU to feel MY emotions - because MERLIN, Val. You just don't GET IT. I can only repeat myself so many times. I'm over the blowup about your grades - whatever! Cool! Study more! Whatever. But ALL these months as I've been CRYING myself to sleep most nights because I have NO ONE to talk to about all my stuff happening - and you don't even seem REMOTELY curious or wanting to check on me. Royse talks to me still. All the time. You, though? Nope. And that shows me where I always stood with you," In the dirt. Not important.
It brought up old emotions she didn't like, ones she and Royse had bonded over.
What DID Royse? Have to do with???? "It seems like since you have Royse you don't need anyone else, and you've pushed EVERYONE away."

Aboli was yelling at her. "So you're mad at me because you haven't talked to me. That makes no sense." Really. What? "If you were so worried about it you could have said something." Aboli, in fact, often pointed out how perfect Valencia's life was and that she never had problems. So Valencia never had anything to talk about. So Valencia didn't need to talk about things. Nor did she honestly need anyone's presence. She was perfectly fine on her own. "I haven't done anything. Royse is perfectly content just sitting next to me and reading or doing his work while I do mine."

And that's why I don't - because CLEARLY I mean nothing to you." She was sooooOoo done with this conversation. She wanted to bite her. Like,. HARD. Bite her and HURT HER. She couldn't shake the urge, but she did because like, only crazy people bit people as an attack. "...Have fun enjoying life with literally only Royse. He's the only person who will enjoy your time. You're a horrible friend, Valencia," Aboli managed to say before turning in the other direction, gritting her teeth and squeeeeeeezing her fists together so tightly that it hurt.
She had NEVER wanted to clock someone more than just now. Mature people handle their violent urges with magic.......don't do anything stupid....you're a prefect....and mature....and nice....remember?

Okay. Aboli had serious issues. Valencia was starting to think that it was a good thing the other girl had overreacted to her study schedule. Did she really want to be around this? Nope.
She didn't react to the snake's further insults. She didn't care. Aboli had said some terrible things to her and Valencia was over it. Instead, as soon as Aboli turned, Valencia turned her attention back to the portraits.
Valencia did NOT care about Aboli or Aboli's anger issues, or those poor first year Slytherins that were now forced to look up to her. Valencia had her future to worry about and some silly girl from when she was a teenager was not something that was important.

| open post *shifty* doesn't proofread tweets | #wrongaboutcereal | #siriusly? | emo to the extremo Finneas schmoezied his way down to the first corridor, where he stopped in front of the portraits who were currently receiving their share of touch ups. The paint brushes were making excellent work flying up and down on their own. Their precision was truly immaculate.
To be quite honest, Finneas hadn't ever been one for the lavish. He had an eclectic taste that was best served via the second-hand. But when one has a chest full of gold to serve the castles needs!?! And the portraits were looking rather refreshed... They probably hadn't received some proper TLC in hundreds of years.
Oooh.
New, gold frames were a nice touch. Were they real gold? He had to lean in to get a better look.

She noticed someone up ahead as she walked. "Hello Professor." she greeted. "What... are you looking at?"

Myrtle popped out of the frame Schmoe was leaning in to expect, letting out a good and loud, "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE is meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
She swooped up through the man, making sure he got a GOOD and COLD blast, and then hovered near the Ravenclaw girl. "Booo hoo hooo hoo hoo!" What did she have to wail about ? WELL, surely someone would ask? ? ?

| lol valencia and myrtle! doesn't proofread tweets | #wrongaboutcereal | #siriusly? | emo to the extremo Finneas greeted Valencia with a nervous smile before returning his gaze back to the particular portrait he was inspecting. ”The new gold frames! They are very shiny… And new.” And rather excessive, but he wasn’t going to say that lest Malachi hear him. The man might not take it well if he heard anything other than praise in regard to the new renovations.
Something else that was not taken well?
Myrtles ENTRANCE.
Finneas jumped back properly SPOOKED. ”I—Er—I—Er,” he stammered.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Stuart Kynaston Ravenclaw Sixth Year Hogwarts RPG Name: Rome Keller Drechsler Gryffindor First Year | Sardine VIP || Shark Attack! || D A R T E R || Captain Oblivious Valencia tilted her head to the side. Shiny and new frames? She didn't much pay attention but was now thinking that maybe she should have.
She was ABOUT to mention it when she stumbled back a few steps at a sudden surprise.
Erm...? "Is... everything alright Myrtle...?" she asked a little hesitantly. It clearly wasn't and she had a feeling that she was about to receive a lengthy explanation. Today was just going to be a weird day for the Ravenclaw.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Myrtle Elizabeth Warren | Haunts the Girls' Loo | Senstitive & Loud "Is ANYTHING alright is the better question!" Myrtle cried, despite no tears appearing on her translucent face. She began tugging at one of her pigtails, floating closer to the Muggle Studies professor as though he could protect her, and fluttering her eyelashes from behind her thick specs. "Once again, the staff and students of Hogwarts have -hic- gone meddling in things that don't belong to -hic! HIC!- them!!"
Her hiccups got the best of her then, so she turned herself upside down to float at them as though she were hanging from one of the portraits herself. This could help with anxiety-induced hiccups.

Finneas wasn't good around the undead in general, but Myrtle was an entirely different ordeal. As she floated closer, he took a few apprehensive steps back. "Oh, er, the..... renovations... You don't..... like them?" Finneas Schmoe was properly stummed. "I think they're rather nice." He looked over at Valencia, hoping she would agree and that the two of them together could stop Myrtle from her tear-less cries.
The courtyard pool was proper fun. Perhaps Myrtle was less enthused because ghosts could not... swim?

Valencia tilted her head to the side as she watched the ghost float closer to the Professor. Then she went to hang... in a portrait. "I haven't done anything..." she said slowly, watching. Should she have? Was there a sign up sheet she missed? She quite enjoyed doing things. Although she wasn't quite sure what Myrtle was referring to exactly.
But the Professor seemed to know. "From what I've seen." she replied. Although, she wasn't sure how many of these renovations she had seen. She also wasn't sure why that would cause issues. Surely renovations are done fairly often. "Is there something specific you're concerned with?" she asked, looking at Myrtle again. That was always the best way to solve a problem -- you know, with identifying it.
