4th Floor Common Room [Monday Night]

Proto was hungry. That meant it was time to raid the common room for food!

At the moment he was sitting on couch surrounded by a couple of dozen boxes of assorted junk food. Twinkies, cereal (with marshmallows), crackers, cookies, more cereal (this time no marshmallows), cupcakes, oatmeal cream pies, and at least three or four things that were simultaneously unidentifiable and obviously past their expiration date.

What? The boy was hungry. And it's not like he knew how to cook.

"That," Jack observed in a friendly way as he went to poke at the contents of the icebox, "is a rather tremendous array of food."

Proto's eyes narrowed just a bit as he looked over at Jack. But then he decided that the newcomer probably wouldn't take all the food back, so he grinned. "I am rather tremendously hungry?" he suggested with a snort.

"You want some? It's not like even I'm going to manage all of this." Besides, the cereal without marshmallows wasn't all that great. Jack could have some of that.
bitten_notshy: ([neu] B+W what's that?)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-02-02 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
Jack sprawled in a chair to evaluate the offer. Food was food. He didn't turn down food.

"A cupcake and some of the cereal in the blue box?"

The one WITH marshmallows, Proto.

"I'm Jack," he added. "You're in my Dark Arts class."

"Proto," he sighed as he handed over the delicious marshmallow-y cereal. And a box of cupcakes. "And, yeah. I've seen you there." Proto didn't miss much, really.
bitten_notshy: ([neu] listening)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-02-02 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Neither did Jack, but he didn't expect as much frm his fellow students. Proto had passed a first, small test, and he smiled as he took a cupcake and peeled back the wrapper.

"What do you make of it so far?"

"It's... interesting." Proto frowned just a bit. "The thing last week was a surprise." He hadn't actually thought he was scared of anything anymore.

He examined Jack carefully as he unwrapped another twinkie without looking.
bitten_notshy: ([neu] flirtatious)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-02-02 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Jack studied him right back. He didn't think he was being flirted with, but he'd missed it before. And that, as always, left him with the interesting question of what to do.

"Mmmmm," he agreed lightly. "I spent the whole time worrying about one thing, and then what I saw was -- a bloody great squirrel."

No, it hadn't been.

[identity profile] make-the-shot.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Proto snorted in amusement. "Oh, you saw that too? Scary squirrel." Yeah. Sure."

"Don't eat all the marshmallow cereal. It's really good, and I want more."
bitten_notshy: ([neu] hood up)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-02-02 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
"I've been terrified of them since I was little," Jack supplied calmly, and went over the the cabinets to fix himself a bowl of said marshmallow cereal before handing it back to Proto. "I'm just glad to know there's more than one of us."

[identity profile] make-the-shot.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. I bet it's a rather common fear, really." Or a lot of people would claim it, at least.
bitten_notshy: ([neu] on the edge)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-02-02 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
"With the whiskers and the tails ..." A hint of a smile graced Jack's face as he passed the box back to Proto. "Do you have magic at home, or is yours a strictly academic interest?"

[identity profile] make-the-shot.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Proto's eyes flashed completely dead for a split-second before returning to their normal expression. "We have it back home." Then, almost too low to hear, "Damn witches."
bitten_notshy: ([neu] always on guard)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-02-02 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Not a fan," Jack observed calmly. "Us, too, but we call them sorcerers."

[OOC: Very pretty icon!]

[identity profile] make-the-shot.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Proto cocked his head, considering that. "And how do you deal with them?" he asked. It was a test of sorts. One intended to see just how similarly they thought.

[Thanks. And thanks for very pretty Eastern European models.]
bitten_notshy: ([neu] vaguely bemused)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-02-02 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
"License them and let them be, as long as they don't hurt honest people," Jack answered promptly (And accurately, at least in terms of facts.) "They have their uses. What do you do with them?"

[identity profile] make-the-shot.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Proto's eyes flashed dead again for a moment. "Shoot them," he growled. "Or knife them, or blow them up, we're not too particular."
bitten_notshy: (Default)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-02-02 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Surprise flashed across Jack's face. "So -- you don't even find them a useful nuisance."

Interesting

[identity profile] make-the-shot.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
"They're far too dangerous to be a nuisance." Proto made a face. "Just like any other enemy: it's best to take them out before they can get to you." Or, perhaps more importantly, someone you cared about.
bitten_notshy: ([neg] unimpressed in hat)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-02-02 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's not like that at home," Jack said. He wasn't arguing; he was just stating a fact.

[identity profile] make-the-shot.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Lucky." The comment was off-handed, and Proto accompanied it with a one-shouldered shrug. "Next you're gonna tell me you're not from the middle of a war zone," he tossed in with a teasing sort of smirk.
bitten_notshy: ([neu] listening)

[personal profile] bitten_notshy 2010-02-02 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Strangely, enough, I'm not," Jack said easily. "You are?"

[identity profile] make-the-shot.livejournal.com 2010-02-02 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Most days." Some days, though, there was a blizzard, and not even the Reds tried fighting in those anymore.
