| Term 46: May - August 2017 Term Forty-Six: Guests from Ilvermorny (Sept 2092 - June 2093) |
04-21-2017, 11:24 PM
| | Hallway Maze Once through the double glass doors that have the patio hangout on the other side, you might find yourself a little overwhelmed. From where you stand, a maze of hallways stretches out as far as the eye can see. Numerous intersections can be seen, and it appears that not a single sign or any inclination of where anything is has been given. It goes without saying that, if you are unsure of where to go, wander around until you find what you're looking for or simply ask someone -- another student or a professor. You'll soon get the hang of this place and know it like the back of your hand. Maybe.
The second intersection of hallways in the quickest way to the boys' and girls' sleeping quarters, which can be accessed after walking through a series of -- you guessed it -- more hallways. Just to the right of the seventh hallway is a large trampoline park, a definite favourite for all the parkour enthusiasts out there. Directly at the end of the main hallway, you will find a Pukwudige-ran coffeehouse that will satisfy all of your brewed drink needs and more.
Don't forget to say hello to the portraits on the walls, ranging from Seraphina Picquery to other notable Ilvermorny alumni.

| Lissy/Ezra! Otter This World ♡ Catpurrccino ♡ Slotherin ♡ Pandamonium It may have sounded dumb but Samara was lost. Every single hallway looked exactly the same. She was absolutely positive that she had passed this very spot at least three times. Letting out a low groan and turning on the spot right there in the center of one of the intersections did little at all to help her. Why hadn't anyone thought of putting up at least one sign? Would it have been so difficult to do...no. No, it wouldn't have.
Pushing her long brown hair from her face and off her shoulders, Sam once more shoved her hands into her pockets and started walking away. This time she went left instead of right at the next intersection. Maybe if she would've been counting how many hallways she had already gone through she would've stood a chance at knowing just where it was she was right now.
Even if she hadn't the faintest idea where she was right now it was still better then being surrounding by all those Hogwarts kids she didn't know.

| curly haired prefect - "sometimes I get angry!" - 30/90 - *chicken emoji* - probably @ Disney - I speak dog Ezra felt like he had walked SOOOO much in the past month since they had arrived. Normally he just lounged around his dorm at school, and while the rooms provided here were awesome, he wanted to soak up as much Hogwarts as he could during his time here. When he was bored, he went for walks!
That was what caused him to venture out today. He was trying to find all the supposed secret passages here in the castle...even the ones that were caved in. Simply so he could brag about it. As he ventured through the hallways, he came across one of his classmates...and he grinned. It was pretty obvious she was lost. He didn't blame her, this place was a real maze. He grinned and approached her. "Lost?" he asked with a chuckle.

| Milesssssss you wanna fite? | 💚 nickleback 💚 | Uh, anyway. Kathleen wasn't exactly lost but she was kind of lost. The hallway loomed around her. silent, empty. the Korean-American wasn't surer she had passed through a worm hole and ended up in some alternate cold world dimension where she was the only breathing living human for miles, and miles, and miles.
Okay, Yikes. She was freaking herself out, but what had Professor Moxinator been thinking? A maze of hallways? This was as sci-fi creepy as it got and Kathleen knew all about sci-fi creeper, it was her second favorite genre after romance, you know?
Pursing her lips together, Kathleen let out a little ppppfffft of breath to cover up the quiet of the hallway and the buzzing in her ears. She was just trying to reach the coffee shop, it wasn't this serious- okay? she didn't have to freak out- literally any second now she would turn a corner and find Alohamocha and she'd grab a cup of some really choice frothy green tea and then she'd slink back to her bunk bed and finish that chapter of Naruto and the world would be right as rain-
Totally, yeah. moving quicker now. Yep, light but fast footsteps because she was close and she really wanted green tea, it's not like she was scared. She Definitely Was Not Frightened.

Miles was like...SOOOOO angry. Never in his pretty 15 years of living did he ever feel so angry. Like not even the chillest Dirty Heads song could calm him down right now.
WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THIS HALLWAY?! WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE ALL QUIRKY AND ORIGINAL?! IT'S JUST TAKING HIM LONGER TO GET TO BED.
He had been roaming this maze for so long that he had finished his hot chocolate that he went to Alohamocha to get in the first place. Miles tossed the empty cup aside, belching loudly.
What he would like to know is what made STUPID kATHleeN SOOO spECia--OWWWW!!!!
WHO THE HECK ISN'T WATCHING WHERE THEY'RE GOING?!!?!
Oh, great....speak of the devil.

Oh, great.
Kathleen had well near nearly run smack dab into none other than Miles Jonesy, the one guy in the whole of two schools that wouldn't have thought twice about locking her away and throwing away the key. UGH. Kathleen blushed, shame and anger coloring her cheeks as she tried to step fast as she could to get away from Miles.
She wouldn't say a thing. Nope, not her job and not her department and REassLLY, Seriously of all the times in the world??? Miles looked super angry too and Kathleen had noooooo doubt the next words of of his mouth were gonna be a disparagement toward herself, her culture or langley if he was feeling SUPER kerky
She was panting now, she needed to chill.

She was panting now, she needed to chill. He stepped to the right, she was there. He stepped to the left, she was there. This wasn't cute, okay!?! This was making him twice as angry.
He tried to step by her again and it was the same thing. "CAN YOU MOVE?!!"
Miles paused, taking a deep, DEEP, breath and exhaled. He was literally such a chill soul, but KATHLEEN just made him so MAD.
WHY, WHY, WHY DOES SHE GET EVERYBODY HE'S EVER LIKED??
LANGLEY.
NATHAN.
MADDOX.
Next thing you know, she'll have his whole family in the palm of her hands and he'll have nothing. Absolutely nothing.
This concoction of frustration, sleepiness, and anger was brewing tears behind his eyes. WHAT MAKES HER SO SPECIAL?!?! WHAT MAKES HER SO SPECIAL!!!!!!!?

By the time she heard a voice that she somewhat vaguely recognized as one of her classmates, Sam had been contemplating just sitting down right there in the hall. The slightly older boys laughter didn't make her smile like she normally would have but she also didn't exactly go on to show him how annoyed she was. "That would depend on whether or not you'd believe me if I said I just purposely walked this very hallway three times already," she answered somewhat jokingly.
"Maybe if some of the hallways were a bit different looking it wouldn't be so a problem." A little variety never hurt no one. Then she'd at least have something different to look at while she was lost.

No- LEFT- every step was matched like they were doing a spontaneous angry dance. Kathleen drew in a sharp breath and squared her shoulders, unmoving now lest Miles of Poop suggest it was all her doing.
It definitely wasn't- it took two to tango, buddy. "Y-You MOVE!" She stammered, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose with a furious huff. UGH, he made her blood boil like no one else. She hated him as much as she hated bad fanfiction- as much as she hated Nathan Way- As much as No-Maj born kids hated Pureblood crazies-
She. Hated. Miles Jonesy.
WAS IT A CRIME TO LIVE HER LIFE?? APPARENTLY IN HIS EYES. Kathleen couldn't count the times he had exploded into her life just to throw metaphorical dung and then ditch and she hadn't cared, she really hadn't but then he'd been a royal jerk to Langley and that was when the gloves had come off. No one was mean to Langley Crabtree and got away with it.

..................... *SHOVES*
Ooh, he did that. He shoved her. "You move!" Shove! She thinks that she can just take everybody he's ever liked and get away with it??

The shove didn't send her flying but Kathleen stumbled back, tripping on her shoelace and falling flat on her bum with a hard thud. She felt and looked like an overwhelmed toddler sitting on the floor in her jean overalls with an expression caught in the middle of embarrassment. anger and surprise. "WHAT. IS. YOUR. PROBLEM." She asked for the millionth time, scrambling to her feet and shoving him back as hard as she could- he was much more solid than she was but she was a hell of lot angrier.
Her wand lay forgotten on the floor where she'd fallen.

Her wand lay forgotten on the floor where she'd fallen. He stumbled back, grabbing her by the arms. "YOU'RE. MY. PROBLEM!" Miles struggled to keep the smol girl away from him, swatting at her hands.
"You just take, take, take!" Tears pushed at his eyes. "You never let me have anything!" He shoved her shoulder again. Miles sniffled loudly, "You stay away from Azul and Layla! Don't you dare take them from me too!" WHAT MAKES HER SO SPECIAL AND HIM NOTHING?!

That was the problem with coming from such a LARGE school. You remembered almost everyone's face, but never anything else about them.

That was the problem with coming from such a LARGE school. You remembered almost everyone's face, but never anything else about them. Sam let out a slow breath running a hand through her long brown hair. A frustration induced headache, not something she wanted or needed right now but there it was. Right above her eyes making her want to slip down against one of the walls and have a seat right there in the middle of the hallway. So quiet and darkness would be amazing right now but that wasn't about to happen standing here. At least she wasn't alone anymore though.
Wandering around a giant suitcase? The teen ended up laughing softly. "It's close enough, isn't it? I mean we're into the trunk of a car." That was weird enough really. At least the accommodations are nice if not a little bit...annoying. "I think it's more like something from a horror movie. I keep expecting something to jump out and get me when I round a hallway." Magical or not this place had a weirdness to it.
Ezra. That was his name! Samara smiled softly. "It's alright, not many people do. It's nice to meet you though, Ezra. I'm Sam...Jeremy's twin sister." If he happened to know Jeremy that is. Or perhaps one of her other four siblings that also went to their school. There was no hard feelings that he didn't know her name...she was used to people forgetting or calling her by one of her sisters names.

| Melanie :) The event taking place on Merlin's Pride had guaranteed one thing: the Beetle was empty. This seemed like the best place to have a small conversation that wasn't likely to be overheard by any nosy eavesdroppers. However, that didn't stop Duncan from checking each and every hallway he marched through. The labyrinthine hallways were proving to be useful, after all.
It wasn't until he was along the fourth hallway, round a corner and down another few conjoining hallways that he stopped and turned to Melanie. The spell Muffliato was nonverbally cast to shield them from any nosy students who happened to be nearby. "So, it's arrived? The present?" The French slipped out almost automatically but this was a situation that called for it.

Melanie followed her brother. Her heart raced with excitement, pumping against her ribcage with an erratic beat. Her hands trembled around the package. “It has. We can begin.” She smiled haughtily, showing her brother all her teeth while doing so. “But not tonight. We will wait for our chance. Keep up your work.” She looked around curiously. “I want to open it….to examine it. But...I fear now is not a good time.” Melanie tucked it back under her arm. “I think I’ll be keeping it with me.” She hoped her brother didn’t take that to heart, or with offense. She was used to being in charge; she was the more dominant twin and she always had been. “We will come up with something foolproof. For now...let us go back to your room...and celebrate.” Perhaps with a well deserved message to home.

| Now that he wasn't rushing to find safe place to hold this conversation, Duncan's eyes stared at the package. There was a flash of hunger behind his dark and usually judgemental eyes. They could begin. In a surprising twist of events, Duncan smiled genuinely for the first time that evening. They could begin. Three very simple words but three words that held a lot of weight to them. They could begin.
Melanie had always taken charge from their childhood. It was why she had come out of the womb first, why she convinced him and why she was most entrusted with this. "Patience, Melanie." A trait the woman didn't have an ounce of in her body. "We'll open it soon, I promise. Anyone could see us here." Promises were futile but this was one he meant. She had to realize that. "I'll do what I can and keep you updated."
Celebrate. It was a simple word but it was one that made him smirk at this moment. "We have donuts to celebrate." Dunkin Donuts. "Come, before anyone sees us."
