5th floor common room, Thursday morning

River lay on her back on the common room floor, arms and legs spread out, watching the octopus she'd painted. Oh, and the nice symbols she had added around it. And the yellow fish.


The painting was still the same. Not that it shouldn't be, but her conversation with Giles about books with symbols had had her a little worried. Just a little.

"I wish Proty could," River said. "It would make the watching more comfortable.

Pippi regarded Proty with a critical eye.

"If only there were a way to... Turn the wall around." she mused. "Then we could swivel him around when somebody wanted to watch him from outside."

"That would be nice, but difficult to do," River replied.

"Sometimes I wish my paintings could come alive."

"Me too." she said, "I bet it would be fun to play with Proty... And the fishies... What language is that there by the way?"

"Those symbols." she said pointing at the wall.

[[ooc: What sorts of symbols are they btw?]]

"They're dangerous magic symbols," River said.

((ooc: Similar to the painting over Buffy's bed (http://moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com/1896.html#cutid1). Magic symbols from a book Giles accidentally sold to River.))

"Oh! Exciting!" she said, "Do ya think it'll make Proty come to life? If it does he can help us make the wall rotate! ... Or guard the common room from poachers."

"Maybe. I have to take the book back though." This was beginning to feel even more disappointing.

"You got the symbols from a book? Why do you have to take it back?"

"Giles thinks its dangerous, and I promised. Didn't want to upset him."

[identity profile] strongestgirl.livejournal.com 2006-06-15 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ohhh." she said, "Yes, he is very wise in the ways of things which are dangerous. You're very nice to not want to upset him."

That was rather dissapointing.

"Yes, it's disappointing."

[identity profile] strongestgirl.livejournal.com 2006-06-15 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Pippi nodded.

"Wull. It's prolly not so bad! I'm sure he has something just as good though for you instead!"

Like a book about Japanese paper folding or maybe one that shows how to make puzzle boxes.

River shrugged. She wasn't sure about that.
