4th Floor Common Room - Evening

Kiki is curled up on the couch, Jiji snoring beside her, with a notebook. She seems to be working on an essay, or maybe a poem, or both, but in reality she's more focused on the show on TV, The Adventures of Dixon Hill (Tonight's 2-hour special: Murder on the Occident Express).

Wandering John finally located his quarry: someone with mystical powers. And an obnoxiously large and cheerful red bow.

He flops in a nearby chair. "Hey. How's things?"

"So... you're avoiding homework by watching murder mysteries?

((I wasn't even able to finish that comment. *kicks computer*))

"Yeah, I should be working on stuff, too, but... it's all good. I don't think I've seen Dixon HIll before, but he looks like a smooth mofo--er, character."


John lets a few more minutes go by before turning to Kiki. "Listen, um. I've got a question. Or a favor. Or something. I dunno. Do you know anything about seances?"

"I'm just wondering." He takes a deep breath, and exhales. "I'm just trying to find my mom, as stupid as it sounds. LIke, if she's dead, and then I know, then I KNOW, y'know? But.. I'm not sure if this'll work."

"Do you know anyone who'd know more about it, then? Cuz... yeah. Sorry do just be all 'seance' but... yeah."

John tries not to think about necromancy.

"Yeah, sure, I can stop by the store tomorrow," he nodded, then stopped. "Um, what store? And what powers?"

(woo! thanks for the kikihelp. One step closer to John freakin' out. :D)

"Angel?! Demon?! Like, wings and horns? That's not possible." John thinks for a second. "Okay, here, it's possible. But still. Wow. The hell?"


"So you think he could help me? Anyone else, offhand, that you can think of? Sorry, I'm interrupting your TV."

"Hrm. I'll have to check them out. I think Draco's in the JA with me... which, come to think of it, I haven't been going lately."

"THanks for the heads up."

(afk for a few, may be back tonight, may not. slowplay?)

"I don't think Draco and anyone mix particularly well. He's just not good kitchen stock, y'know? I'd like to see a Metal Cook episode with Draco as the secret ingredient. Well," John said, sheepishly, "not like cannabalism, but you know."

(niiight)

"I'm sure he's good at what he does, but I'm just not sure what that is. Wait. He's a wizard or something, right? I should ask him, see what he knows about this. And it's not like I can just waltz into Hades and check the death records or something."

[identity profile] apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hrm. I never thought about it like that. And it's not like they have computers, but like the olde schoole card catalogue. Man. I wish I could just ask Death or something."

"And yeah. I wonder if Draco's snark is genetic or something?"

[identity profile] apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com 2005-12-15 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wait. Death?" John is confused.

[identity profile] apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com 2005-12-16 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Wait a second. Wait a freakin' second. There's an Anth-Morpork anthropomorphic Death?! As a STUDENT!? What. The. Hell??" John wonders where teh hell he's been (and why he hadn't been paying attention in Shop class)


:D

"Wow. And I never knew. Crap. I didn't even know that was an option."

He looked down at the book in her hand. "So do you want to go through with this, then? I mean, what all's involved?"

[identity profile] apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com 2005-12-16 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay. That sounds like a good idea since we're all starting and stuff. And I don't think that dorming it would be safe. Too distracting."

[identity profile] apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com 2005-12-16 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay. I'll drop in after that." He asks for directions and such.

"I need a dashing hat like that."

[identity profile] apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com 2005-12-16 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, they're so dashing. Like that Michigan Smith dude, in the movies."

[identity profile] apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com 2005-12-16 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"It's like it's stapled to his head. I wonder if they get some sort of hero surgery, get snaps or something in their heads that match the snaps on the hats? Or... head/hat magnets?"

"I know. They're so unrealistic, though. I mean, there's no way that some of those things could actually happen."

[identity profile] apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com 2005-12-16 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. This place is just too wierd sometimes, y'know?"

[identity profile] apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com 2005-12-16 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
"YEah, it feels like home, oddly. Of course, I'm used to a home with more firepower. Eh, not a normal home life, y'know?"

[identity profile] apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com 2005-12-19 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey, I'm suprised you even want to try. I know it's sudden and all. Um. Thanks."

John watches about an hour more of the tube and leaves.
