[ Or if you really want to see him in person instead of talking to him over the journal, James is outside on the front steps, watching the night sky and the little fairies that keep flittering about the place. ]

Now I can't say I'm an expert on magical creatures myself, but I've taken enough classes to know a thing or two about the basics, and I know for a fact the average fairy doesn't exactly operate the way these ones have been behaving. Not sure what their whole building kick is all about, I didn't even know fairies were the industrial type.

Who would have guessed? Friendly lot too. They're very fond of gift giving, aren't they?

While I'm on it, speaking of things going on, anyone got a spare dress robe lying around? I could always wish one up, but I'm not too keen on that.

All the fairies I've known were pretty friendly ...

And what the heck is a dress robe? You're a guy, just wear a tuxedo.

ye

[staggeringego]

I can't say I've ever met one with the sense to be friendly in the first place.

And a what now? What's a tuxedo?

[ Pure blood wizard boy... ]

[ino]

The sense? What, so the fairies you know are really dumb?

... You know, a suit? You've really never heard of them?

[staggeringego]

I wouldn't say dumb exactly, unless you consider a cat dumb for being a cat.

Like the ones muggles wear? Those dull black and gray numbers?

[ino]

Yeah, the fairies I've met are more like ... really tiny people with wings. With tiny people brains and stuff.

"Muggles"? [a pause] Oh, right, you're one of those Hogwarts people. Look, they don't have to be that boring at all -- you just have to know where to shop.

[staggeringego]

They're not exactly the sort I'm familiar with.

Are there more of us here? Here I was thinking I was only one of two. Happen to remember any names of those "Hogwarts people"? Might as well ask about where I can get one of your suits too if you've got shops worth visiting.

[ino]

You see all sorts here.

I don't know about right now, but plenty of people have come through here. I used to be friends with Sirius one of the last times her was here -- I think you know him, right?

[she'll draw a little map to a nice tuxedo shop in town] That one's probably the best for a nice tuxedo. But you need a mask, too ...

[staggeringego]

So it seems.

[ Sorry, Ino, you're talking about tuxedos and masks and all that, but suddenly James doesn't actually care about any of that at all. ]

Sirius was here? In this castle?

[ino]

Uh ... yes? It's been a few years though.

[staggeringego]

[ WELL THAT'S... really disappointing ): ]

He hasn't been back since then?

[ino]

I don't think so, no.

[staggeringego]

So much for that.

[ Getting quiet for a moment, that was a bigger let down than he expected it to be. ]

So then, where were we? Tuxedos and masks?

[ino]

[bawww, james :(]

.... Sorry.

Yeah. There's a shop in town for tuxedos. [she'll draw an arrow up to the map she drew] But do you have a mask?

[staggeringego]

[ It's hard being attached at the hip to a guy and suddenly losing him. ]

Can't be helped.

[ He is trying to take this all in step though. ]

I'll make sure to give it a look. And I can't say I do, but I'm sure there's somewhere I can get one of those as well?

[ino]

Yeah ... there's a party store right across the street.

[lmfao, she feels bad now ... ;; she understands, though; it's just that she's seen sakura come and go so many times that there's almost nothing left in her to react anymore]

I'm sure the ball will be fun, though.

[staggeringego]

Should be something. I'm looking forward to what this King of Autumn fellow has in store for us.

[ino]

So am I. He's never shown his face before, so it should be interesting~

[staggeringego]

Heard of him before, have you?

[ino]

Not until we got the invitation, no.

[staggeringego]

Not a well known man around these parts then?

[ino]

Nobody had heard of him until now, from what I can see.

[staggeringego]

Well that's reassuring. Good reason to trust this all then.

[athha]

[Have a familiar blonde walk over and glance down.]

Like a bathrobe?

[staggeringego]

[ Looking up. Oh hey, pool girl! Nods in greeting. ]

Bathrobe? 'Course not. I'm talking proper dress robes here.
