imperturbatus | You're a wizard, _

It doesn't matter what you were doing before you wake up here, how you managed to get here at all, or where you arrived at. All that mattered now was that you're suddenly in a new location and people are so insistent that you're a wizard. Whether or not that sinks in just yet, you may as well go through the motions and humor whomever -- or whatever -- brought you here.

Here are a few prompts to get you started, but there's no requirement to use any of the given prompts. If you feel that you would like to use something besides the prompts that are given, you're more than welcome to do so.

Also, there's this nifty little post to introduce who you are to the others out of character, so don't forget to check it out!

Prompts

Prompt A; Okay so maybe being dropped off in a bustling street in front of some old, broken down looking building isn't the best way to start your day, but inside there seems to be a number of curious customers. Given the state of the building, this place seems pretty busy otherwise. The Leaky Cauldron huh...? Guess there's no time to ponder where that is, because the man behind the bar seems particularly interested in you. Soon enough, he's leading you to a location. Great, maybe some answers... until you come to a brick wall...

Great. What are you supposed to do at a brick wall? Surprise! After a few taps on the bricks, there's suddenly a pathway opening up and then... another street? What's going on?

Prompt B; Well now that you've been taken to a place called "Diagon Alley", you seem to be left there by the man who was supposedly going to help you out. If you're lucky enough, a tall man with a bushy beard might happen to come to the rescue. All this talk about being a witch/wizard.... Are these people out of their minds? Clearly they don't think they are, because he'll happily help you find your school supplies and books.

Or maybe you decided to wonder around by yourself and check out the shops after figuring things out from the other people on the street going through the same process. Just be careful not to carelessly use up all of the money that's saved in your vaults in Gringotts though.

Prompt C; Nine and Three Quarters..... Supposedly you need to get to Platform Nine and Three Quarters, but everyone is telling you that it doesn't exist. How can it not exist when so many people were looking for it? Have people been playing with you for a fool? Well, that seems to be the case until you notice people running into a.... Were they running into a brick wall? That's completely stupid but yet... they disappeared? Apparently you must be stupid for trying it, but somehow or another it works out and... There's more people with trunks and supplies like you have. More importantly as a train that wasn't there before.

Hogwarts Express.

Once on the train, finding a place to sit might be a pain depending on how long it takes for you to find it, but why not make a few new friends and maybe try to find out just what's going on? Meanwhile there is a trolley going around for anyone who wants a snack.

Prompt D; Boats.... Why did it have to be boats? And didn't you refuse to put on those robes that you were required to buy? Why has your clothing disappeared in substitution for these robes? Just don't rock the boat. Pretty sure the others riding with you won't be happy if you tip it over. At least land seems to be coming closer along with a giant castle.

Prompt E; After being sorted into your houses and sitting at your respective tables, you'll be given more freedom to move about and talk than you have been this entire time. Use that time to figure out if anyone else was in the same predicament as you are. Surely you can't be the only one confused. And this large spread of food that never seems to run out is a bit too tempting to decline.

Or maybe you've already returned to your new dorm common rooms? Take your pick.

Prompt F; Make your own prompt! If you'd rather do something else, feel free to do so!

Just please put your Character's Name in the the subject line! Happy wizardry!

[ Gokudera may look like he's not paying attention, nose buried in one of the books he'd bought in Diagon Alley about the history of the Wizarding world. But he was paying attention. It was easy with small compartments and somewhat interesting conversation about things he knew nothing about.

When someone actually talks to him, he looks up to the frog in the other teen's hand and... ]

What is that?

[ Normally he's in so much worse of a mood, but he's in a new place with a new set of rules and he's way too curious. His nerd brain wants to absorb everything. ]

It's a chocolate frog.

[He pauses, considering.]

It's not an actual frog, but it's pretty good, plus there's a collectable wizard card that comes with it. That's why most people eat them.

[ after a moment of silent hesitation, the look in Gokudera's eyes unsure of whether he should be taking something from a stranger or not, he finally reaches for the chocolate frog. He doesn't open it immediately, instead looking at the intricate packaging. ]

Thanks... [ Don't be mistaken, that T-word was hard to say and comes out kind of awkward. ] Stuff like this is normal?

Yeah, of course it is.

I mean, it's not actually a frog, if that's what you're wondering.

[ Huh. Gokudera peels the package open curiously, and checks out the frog. At first it doesn't move and it has him wondering why the hell a frog of all things. Then, it springs to life and makes him jump, and soon enough the thing is clinging to his face, little froggy feet melting against his skin. ]

Ack! Wh--

[ He grabs it and it goes limp in his hand, the enchantment gone now and chocolate melting. ]

What the hell?! How is that normal!?

[Roxas shouldn't laugh, but he does. Sorry Gokudera. That was rather silly.]

Well, it's magic. Stuff like that is pretty normal.

[This must be another of those new people. Roxas is starting to detect a theme.]

[ Good call, dude. Gokudera stares down at the frog, not sure now if he even wants to eat it. Wouldn't that be a little... weird? To bite into something that was just alive even if it was made of chocolate? His impression of the sweet is that it's definitely creepy, though.

He sets it back on the packaging and licks the chocolate from his fingers a little curiously. ]

Tch. It's creepy.

Well, it's not like it's a real frog. It's just chocolate with a spell on it.

[Roxas shrugs.]

Most people are after the cards anyway.

[ Gokudera moved the frog and finally noticed the card. He was too late to see who was on it, sadly... They'd already moved. So needless to say, his impression of wizard sweets was not necessarily the best so far. ]

Uh. Thanks then... Did you want the card? I didn't see who was on it but I wouldn't know who it was anyway.

It's okay, you can keep it. I already have lots and you can start your own collection.

[Because once you get over how weird they are, chocolate frogs are pretty cool.]

Unless it's Agrippa. She's pretty rare. Then I might take it off your hands.

It's just this guy named Harry Potter, whoever that is.

[ Here Roxas, Gokudera will extend the card anyway. ]

Oh, I've got about six of him. It's fine, really.

I think he's in charge of the Auror department of the ministry, or was anyway. Took down a dark lord a long time ago.

Fascinating.

[ The history of some guy didn't really interest him, and neither did what he was doing with his life at the moment. Or even if he was alive at all. Instead, Gokudera took the card and put it back with the frog since Roxas wasn't going to take it. ]

I'm kinda new here so it's like you're speaking a different language.

Sorry. I guess you're one of the new people then? I probably should have asked.

It's not like not knowing about the magic frog wasn't a dead give away or anything.

I guess, but you never know. There's still a lot about the wizarding world that I don't know about.

[Granted that knowledge is probably less conventional than a chocolate frog.]
