Open Post: Gryffindor and Ravenclaw

[courageous_wit]

Gryffindor
[your common room is hidden behind the portrait of the Fat Lady. She will only open for you if you give the password. Once inside, you will get to hang out with lots of comfortable seats and a cheerful fire. The colors are in gold and red, all very warm and welcoming.

If any Gryffindors have issues, your Head of House will be around to help you!]

Ravenclaw
[your common room is up in a tower. An eagle doorknocker will only let you inside if you answer a riddle. The colors here are a cool blue. It can be a bit chilly because of being so high]


[Gryffindor | Ravenclaw feel free to make your own sections, too!]

[she can't believe that they're here... That the castle is actually pretending to be Hogwarts. She honestly doesn't know how to feel about it. There is a pang of homesickness just being here, but there's also the knowledge that this isn't real.

After all, she's too young to be both a professor and the head of a house. Yet here she is, both. She's sitting in the common room, ready to help anyone who looks lost. She's responsible for an entire house of students now]

[wilder]

[Yep, have one rather loud fourteen year old (?) with very red hair coming down the stairway and less than happy about all this. ]

Okay, this is seriously not cool! Where are we!?

[scarredglasses]

[When Harry woke up this morning, he couldn't believe where he was. It was like his wish come true. Grinning broadly, he came into the common room to see who else was in Gryffindor with him. He assumed Hermione would be here but what about the other people he'd met on his arrival?]

[waterproofed]

[okay, so where are they this time around? He just puts on a shirt and pants, not bothering with the rest of the uniform. Screw ties and sweaters, it's July and he doesn't know how to do ties]

Swanky place we've landed in this time.

[backchats]

[Sherlock is sprawled in a chair by the fire -- upside down, his feet on the headrest and his head leaned against one of the armrests. His robes pool awkwardly around his torso and hang over the floor. He's reading a book that he's propped against his legs.

Or, well, he was until all these people came shouting and carrying on into the common room like Muggles who got lost. He lifts his head, then swings himself to properly sitting so he can watch.

After a moment of consideration:]

Whatever's happened, it wasn't me this time.

[gentleidealist]

[Lloyd isn't entirely sure what's going on, but he's currently wrestling with the outfit.]

What's with the bathrobe? And this stupid tight collar? And what is this-- a tie, or something?

[He freezes.]

... Th-that painting. Did anyone else see that?

[pompous_today]

[Simon is somehow not all that surprised when he wakes up in a strange, unfamiliar castle- and is young again. He had on robes with a lion emblem, and after asking around a bit, found out that they were in a magic school and where his common area was. So he made his way there, climbing in through the portrait and exploring.

... that is, until he tried to go up a set of stairs and found himself falling down as they turned into a solid slide, landing on his face at the bottom of them, his butt sticking out in the air. How undignified!]

[princelyspirit]

[Utena, meanwhile, is lounging sideways in one of the chairs, her legs dangling casually over the arm as she flicks her wand towards the floor. She's dressed down for the day, abandoning her robes for the kind of shirts and slacks usually reserved for male students, and her tie... well, her tie is inching its way across the floor, following the movements of her wand, raising itself up like a cobra hypnotized by a snake charmer. If anyone is wondering where she learned a trick like this, it's simple: she's had about four years of practice! Or at least, the castle's convinced her of such. Say goodbye to Utena Tenjou, former eighth grader at Ohtori Academy, and say hello to Utena Tenjou, Muggleborn fourth year, and one of Gryffindor's newest chasers]

[OOC: AU profile can be found here, in case there's any other AU students who'd recognize her :> ]

[goingrogue]

[ This was too cool. Too cool. She was a really real magykkal wizard thing! With a wand, and a cute uniform and everything. It was more than she had ever dreamed of! Only problem? She was a 6th year in O.W.L. classes and quite frankly had no idea what she was supposed to know. But she was determined, that's for sure.

Roxy placed herself cross-legged in a chair close to the fireplace, several books lay open around her as she read various bits of history and technique. She flicked, squished, twirled her wand as she read through page after page of spells. She had a knack for it, but sometimes a particularly lazy motion caused her sparks to come out when she least expected. ]

Ow! God damnit, some of these are harder than they look!

<sub>[ If nothing else, Ashura was glad enough to wake up in a tried and true bed. Small blessings, and all that. He was less pleased with the wardrobe. Jeans and trousers and things with two legs. Oh how he hated this sort of thing! Never mind that his Talent felt... different, inside of him, like it had gotten turned sideways.

Well, it could be worse.

So he worked himself into the dreaded pants and the most drab clothing he could possibly think of (not by choice), his one ornament a red ribbon he braided into calf-length hair and the gold studs in his ears. He swept down the stairs, his stomach gurgling loudly in demand for sustenance.

Say hello to one of your resident Seventh Years, Gryffindor. ]</sub>

Well, well, what new adventure do we embark on today?

[samson]

[The moustache makes him look older and distinguished, okay.

Anyway, here is your seventh year prefect, Gryffindor! He is in the common room, hunched over a table and scribbling on some parchment. He probably has an essay due in like an hour and conveniently forgot about it until now... but that doesn't mean he won't stop to help some lost and confused underclassmen.

Or stop and give somebody detention for being annoying. Whatever.]

[rose_of_battle]

[Unlike many others, Sheena doesn't remember anything else at all. As far as she's concerned, she's a half-blood in her final year of schooling at Hogwarts. Like many students, she had both her favorite spells and subjects and those she can't like--no matter what.

Right now, she's combining both by using one of her favorite spells Lumos as she pored over one of her classbooks, as though the extra light would help Arithmancy make any more sense to her.]

Dammit! Damn, damn, damn! Why isn't this making sense?!

[staggeringego]

[ It's good to be back! James wasted no time making himself at home in his favorite chair. Studies can wait, because at the moment he's got his wand out and is sprawled back in the chair with a proper broomstick in hand as he fusses with it to make sure it's in tiptop shape. ]

Ravenclaw

[courageous_wit]

[cyan_maid]

[The common room really IS chilly! Jane's got a blanket wrapped around her shoulders over her robes as she scratches away at a piece of parchment, a Charms book open on her left.

Really, another change like this should be absolutely confounding, but Jane doesn't seem bothered at all. Wonder why that is...]

[luxe_can_kill]

[Mitsuru was awake for a while now. While it looks like she's not so surprised about the world change, she is in deep thought. She is looking outside the window, free to be bothered]

[toobravehearted]

[It doesn't take the Doctor very long at all to figure out that something is amiss. Granted, something is always amiss in Paradisa, but more than usual.

It doesn't take him very long either, to discover that there's something definitely off with his body. He hasn't been in a body this physically young for a very, very long time. No. No, thank you. He would like to get back to his usual self, instead of being fifteen.

He holds up the satchel he's been carrying, yes, that's a nice one, but who is Tim E. Smith?

It doesn't take him very long to figure out that that name is meant to be his.]

Oh, bal-- derdash.

[babyaliendaddy]

[Tucker really thought that he had gotten over being knocked unconscious -- but apparently this place had other ideas. So for his first castle-cluster fuck, he found himself lying in a boy's school dormitory - with birds and blue and fucking really long bathrobes, and his sword nowhere to be found.]

...Well, shit. This is gonna be a bad week.

pretend he's aged down in all his icons ok gr8

[thebestseller]

[Castle had barely registered that he was a teenager again and was dressed in robes when he came to a striking realization- OMG MAGIC.

So he was sitting in one corner of the common area he'd found himself in, his wand out, amusing himself by making objects float around.]

[nerwen]

[There is a very disgruntled looking little witch in your common room today, Ravenclaw.

It's not enough that Galadriel's now human, this change had to leave her as a child as well. At least there's magic. It's a plus that she's not completely helpless.]

Tell me that you do not all intend to waste your time milling about this room. We should at least discover the nature of this place before we make ourselves comfortable.

[deductiongeek]

[Conan was really getting tired of all these changes.

But that wasn't enough to stop him from investigating this new situation. Almost as soon as he wakes up, he is poking his nose into every corner of the bedroom and common room. Eventually he end up on a couch in the common room, carefully taking note of all the other people moving through the area.]

[kungfuwitch]

[Should anyone look over in the corner they might spot Phoebe Halliwell with a few books open on one of the tables. She's not actually studying anything, though. She seems to be etching something in the surface of the table with the tip of her wand.

What?]

[princeandwizard]

[Another change so soon? But they'd only just gotten out of Tokyo. What a strange place Paradisa is.

Stranger still, while Ohjiro's sitting beside a table, he's watching in utter fascination as his doll Wizard is moving entirely of his own accord in front of him- he had watched Wizard do a dance routine all too familiar to Ohjiro that they always did for Angelic Layer practice before.

Between Wizard's own movements, waking up in robes and having a wand on him? That only meant one thing. And even though it couldn't be read on Ohjiro's face, on the inside? He was a bit excited.]

[wizard_redfive]

[Waking up in yet another strange place was starting to get on Dairine's nerves. At least this time it still looks like a castle. And hey, the castle gave her new books! Sweet!

Dairine takes a few minutes to pursue the titles, then any papers in her possession. A notice about the first... Quidditch match? (Hasn't she heard something like that over the journals before?) A class schedule?? Finally she reaches her list of supplies and notices one very familiar word: "Hogwarts."

The castle sent them to magic school. You have got to be kidding her.

Well... mixed feelings about school aside, it couldn’t hurt to see how other wizards lived, could it? Grabbing a few books, she swings down to the common room to read, starting with “Quidditch Through The Ages”. Every once and a while, she looks up at her fellow classmates to see what they’re up to.]
