fifteen detention slips

[delincuente]

[It's been about two weeks since Alex arrived back at the castle, fresh from a bizarre and unsettling three month stay in Paris, and much to her relief those muddy, missing memories have finally started to return in full. The layout of the castle is different, and a few names are still pretty jumbled up, but for the most part her previous stay in Paradisa is clear as crystal. 

Except that she can't, for the life of her, figure out why her teleportation magic isn't working.]

Dude, this is so not the kitchen. 

[Confused, she flashes back out of the room, appearing right in front of-] 

((ooc: open to the entire castle and its grounds - feel free to have her appear in front of your character, wherever they may be!))

[Hermione is only a little startled by the girl suddenly flashing in front of her]

What are you doing?

[delincuente]

Not going to get dinner, apparently.

[She gives her wand a shake, as if that will help the problem.]

[courageous_wit]

You can just walk from here. We're only on the fifth floor.

[delincuente]

Hey, first rule of magic - never walk in if you can flash in.

[Pause.]

Okay, so that's more of an Alex rule than a general thing, but you get the drift.

[courageous_wit]

Then maybe we can test to see if my magic still works?

[delincuente]

Sure. Good luck with that.

[There's no way that it's just her magic. That would be stupid and unfair, right?]

[courageous_wit]

Come on, then. I'll take you down to the kitchen. [hey she's trying to be nice here]

[delincuente]

[Alex is totally appreciative, too. She's showing it by not making fun of Hermione's hair.]

Okay. Show me what you got.

[courageous_wit]

[hopefully Alex won't mind the super uncomfortable feeling of Apparating. Because that's what Hermione will attempt to do! She's never tried it with someone else in Paradisa so hopefully they'll end up in the kitchen]

[delincuente]

[This all catches Alex so off guard that, with the exception of a brief, strangled, "Holy crap!", she barely has any time to react to this, until they reach their destination, whatever it may be, and she tumbles quite expertly to the ground. Apparating was not made for wearers of four inch heels.]</i?

[courageous_wit]

Careful. It is a bit disorienting.

So, did we make it to the kitchen all right?

[delincuente]

Can't tell yet. It's a bit disorienting.

[She's still trying to get up off the floor, which is hard when you're dizzy.]

[courageous_wit]

[offers her hand gently] Let me help you.

[delincuente]

[She takes it eagerly, stumbling to her feet.]

What the heck was that?

[courageous_wit]

Apparating. It's what wizards in my world use to move from one place to another quickly.

[delincuente]

Well, I guess it seems pretty convenient if you're within arm's length of a barf bag.

[An exaggeration on her part, thankfully, but she is still pretty woozy.]

[courageous_wit]

Sorry about that. A lot of wizards choose slower means of transport because of it.

[delincuente]

I can see why.

[She gets her bearings and finally looks around.]

Awesome. Unless some castle resident feels more at home around cabinetry, I'm pretty sure this is the kitchen.

[She makes a beeline for the pantry, to find some sugary cereal.]

[courageous_wit]

Brilliant. Well, best of luck with your magic.

[delincuente]

Thanks, I guess.

[Of course, her magic works perfectly when she uses it to open the pantry and retrieve a box of Cocoa Puffs.]

Hm. Weird.
