[Dictated/Action] How to expect the unexpected.

[unexpected_adventures]

Room changes? People going missing and leaving without any warning? Are these going to be events which will keep on happening? I must say I was lucky in not having my hobbit hole moved. Thank you very much. I would rather have my home right where it is, thank you. The castle doesn't have any right to move people's home about, as it is not funny in the least. [He'd heard about people spending the night in the castle grounds of all places! Whatever next.]

It's rather worrying, don't you think? What else might happen that we can't stop? I mean- [He paused and sighed. He was thinking about bad things that may not even come to pass. Stop worrying, Bilbo.]

-well, things should just stay the same. [So there.] That aside, does anyone know if there is somewhere I can grow some vegetables? I've been pondering on the idea for some time now. My hobbit hole isn't really the right environment for outside plants and I suppose we're not allowed to plant vegetables in the castle grounds, are we? [A shame.] I'm a keen gardener, so if anyone knows, please let me know.

Thank you.

There's a garden on the castle grounds, actually? Or there was. People plant vegetables in there.

[Curiously.]

What are you planning on growing?

[unexpected_adventures]

Oh. I didn't know people were allowed to plant things in the grounds. Well, mostly potatoes, carrots, that sort of thing.

I know a giant kangaroo was growing carrots somewhere on the grounds.

[ And by giant kangaroo, he means the Easter Bunny. Hobbits don't have Easter though, do they? Not that Sirius knows hobbits anyway. ]

[unexpected_adventures]

A giant kangaroo? [Bilbo will now be staring and thinking you mad, Sirius.]

[Spike really should have said something to Bilbo before, when Frodo left. Apologize for helping to drive him away, at least. But when he sees this, those words don't quite come out. -- He's still a work in progress.]

Talk to Brock. He should be able to help with the garden.

[unexpected_adventures]

Brock? What does he look like? [Because Bilbo has no idea who Brock is, dude.]

[gottaknockhard]

[Just your friendly neighborhood gardener.]

Tall guy, blonde hair. [...Tall should be a given. Anyway--] He has something set up in the woods. Send him a filter sometime, he'll see it.

[unexpected_adventures]

Alright then. So, I ask for Brock to give me some gardening advice then? I don't want to be a nuisance, of course. [Bilbo was excited about meeting this Brock though.]

[gottaknockhard]

[It's the least he can do after what he did to Frodo.]

Mention 'Spike' when you talk to him. He'll probably appreciate the help.

[unexpected_adventures]

Spike? Uh, alright then. Thanks for helping me out with this, as I've no clue to what I am doing here most of the time. I'm a hobbit far from home.

[gottaknockhard]

[He doesn't deserve a thanks, but he just pauses for a moment before replying.]

Yeah, no problem.
