imperturbatus

[ The night had been agonizing in one way or another. From teenaged hormonal libido to the humiliation of everyone in Ravenclaw finding out about Rin sneaking into the tower. The only thing he can be glad about is that none of the professors found out.

Yet.

But with the way everyone's spreading the word, it's only a matter of time. Gareki can kiss his free time goodbye soon, he's sure of it. So instead of going into the Great Hall, where he's also sure that he'll get stared at by everyone and talked about IN FRONT OF himself... He skips breakfast.

Instead, he stays at the scene of the crime (his bed), where a vote has been made to strip his bunk of the curtains so last night would never happen again.

Gareki, good student and someone who preferred to keep his head down, is now notorious for a love life he's still not sure he even had at the moment. How about that shit.

He spends the morning in his bunk with his mechanics book. When he ventures out of the tower into the rest of the school, he gives anyone who so much as looks at him a murderous glare. But he doesn't stay in Hogwarts for long. Instead, he makes a b-line for the sanctuary that was Hogsmeade. Away from a majority of stupid people looking at him like some god damn horny rule breaker.

There's a book in his hand, butterbeer on the table in front of him, and he's nicely tucked into a corner of the Hogs Head. Here, he hopes to take comfort in the fact that only the bravest of souls decide to visit. ]

Morning, Slytherin Dormitory

[That Sunday Rin wakes up with a snotty nose and a skull-splitting headache and groans. He supposes after what happened last night he should have expected it, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. He'd been thrashing around all night, but only managed to fall into a light slumber in the wee morning hours dreaming weird dreams of frozen cucumbers, and being convicted at court with his pants down. If he was feverish, that explained those at least.

He dreads the Great Hall. He left Ravenclaw tower in a hurry and has no idea how things progressed from there. Maybe Gareki managed to convince everyone they saw a ghost, but somehow, Rin doubts it. He should just say he's sick and not go to breakfast, he's not hungry anyway. But that would be admitting he's sick, which would cause Sousuke go into full blown mother hen mode, which Rin can't stand. And he's worried about Gareki. He feels sorry for leaving his boyfriend to weather the storm, and he needs to know he's okay and just how much trouble Rin's idiocy has gotten them into. He should man up and brave the giant. Although he's pretty sure by now all of the castle knows.

Rin groans again.]

Breakfast, Great Hall

[Saying bravely he'll face the giant and bravely doing it are however two different things. Rin sits at the Slytherin table, convinced his head is about to explode. The food in front of him keeps turning his stomach, the glare of the morning light from the ceiling is too bright and the chatter is louder and livelier than ever before. Even worse is, that he can hear every single word from the neighbouring Ravenclaw table, every single ONE. They're loud and unrestrained and when Rin had stumbled into the Great Hall several minutes ago, ready to just sit down and not move, not a few of those nosy people looked at him for a brief moment, before continuing to talk louder.

He can feel the stares boring into him, as he sits with his back to them.

He had wanted to find and talk to Gareki, once he'd be safe on his legs again, and wasn't likely to collapse in the middle of the Hall, but now he's not so sure that being anywhere close to the Ravenclaw table is a good idea. It's bad enough it neighbours to Slytherin's already.

Rin groans for the upteenth time that hour, bangs his head against the table and keeps it there. The wood is at least cooler than his hand. Small favors, really.]

Bonus: Infirmary

[He ends up being dragged into the infirmary by the pains he calls his friends and teammates, when he almost collapses from fever that morning. This is also where he spends the complete week, because Madame Pomfrey is relentless. The first few days are spent between half-awake and restless sleep, the rest he's lying in the bed, snotty, grumbling, week and frustrated, waiting for his body temperature to get back to normal. He'll bark and complain a lot during this time, basically, if you brave a visit, expect behavior of a giant baby.]

((ooc: He's referring to this incident from last night, which is NSFW (but so, so hilarious), so read at your own caution, I am jst putting it here to make sense.))

((EDITED! Because Sousuke, Adela and Kise are major pains and Rin almost fainted from fever.))

The excitement in the air is sizzling, with the Quidditch match about to happen.

Today's match is a between two rivals ruthless in their encounters, their heated rivalry legendary from way back when Hogwarts was only starting. Gryffindor and Slytherin have never been on friendly terms. Certainly not in quidditch. It's sure to be an intense match up.

Flying your house colours? Figured out who you're going to support?

It's time to head out to the pitch and settle things.

[OoC: There will be threads for pre, during, and post game activities. In other words, pregame your character could be in the dressing room or at breakfast, during you could play out a game thread or be in the stands, post you could be celebrating or moping, depending on how things went]

( And the winner is... )

The game lasted 2 hours 43 minutes and ended with a final score of 350 to 160.
Slytherin caught the snitch.

[The win was determined by player vote and the rest of the numbers by a RNG. A number between 15 and 300 determined the length of the game in minutes, numbers between 15 and 50 multiplied by 10 the final score, and a throwdown between 1 and 2 who caught the snitch (based on odds/evens, with each team having their assigned number for all the matches).

Slytherin was 40 points in the lead, before the Seeker caught the little golden ball.]

Quidditch Pitch
[Hinata was sitting in the stands watching everyone practice to begin with. He couldn't help but be amazed at how they trained at this school. It was so different than what he had been use to back home. The storms, the aeroplanes he had to avoid for the most part, most of the time quite narrowly. It was always tough training at his old school, but seeing none of that here... His eyes widen and his mouth shaped to an o. He was interested. perhaps a little too fascinated considering he might not necessarily be watching the house he is in practice.

When it was Hufflepuffs practicing, Hinata can be found on the field, broom in hand and a wide grin on his face. He was honestly looking forward to it.]

Hello and welcome to Mana and Willow's first real event of the year! We hope you enjoy what we have in store, so look below and hop right in~

The ghosts are multiplying. Professors and the head mistress have no idea why, but they are. A small influx of new ghosts will crop up to join the likes of Nearly Headless Nick, Peeves, and all the others running around on the 26th. As the 31st draws nearer, Hogwarts castle will start to feel crowded. A small handful of ghosts will multiply into dozens literally over night, and by the 31st it may be next to impossible to find peace away from them. But, by midnight of the 31st they'll start disappearing and will be gone all together by the 2nd of November.

BOO!
26.10. - 02.11.

PROMPTS

The Walking Dead.
Among the spirits visiting the school this year, some may likely be ancestors and relatives. They may either seek you out or you them, but it's up to you if you'll let them. It's up to you what happens afterward.

Something wicked this way comes. Maybe.
Some spirits may be benign and not realize you're there. They may not even realize they are in Hogwarts castle, floating as if mindless and sightless. Some may be like Peeves and try to cause mischief. Your suffering is their amusement or just a good way to pass the time. They may torment you or they just may trick you. Other spirits might just want some company, but beware of these ones. They all have a tale to tell and won't let you leave until they're finished.

Classes are canceled.
Due to too many spirits interfering, classes have either been suspended for the day of Monday the 31st or moved outside. No one can think straight, let alone breath normally, and space inside the castle is cramped and limited. But don't count on classes staying this way, since the next day with the noticeable disappearance of spirits classes will continue on as normal.

Enjoy your freedom while you can, kids.

Make your own fun.
Don't see anything in this list that interests you? Feel free to play around and make your own fun out of this scenario. There are plenty of spirits running around and lots to do with what's going on. Have fun!

PARTY TIME
31.10.

HALLOWEEN / THE NIGHT OF SAMHAIN

It's that time of year again where Hogwarts celebrates the most coveted of holiday's for witches and wizards; Halloween. Some may call it Samhain, though. But either way, it's a day dedicated to celebrating all that the magically gifted have to offer. Hogwarts does it with a yearly masquerade, though this year may be a little more somber for some due to the ghosts. Your characters are encouraged to have fun still!

Inside the Great Hall

Food and Drink
Where the headmistress and professors usually sit has been transformed into a buffet of food and drink. There are traditional items such as pumpkin juice and butterbeer, but among them are bubbling concoctions that practically glow as fog overflows from cups. Inside are ominous liquids, but upon the first sip will offer exactly what your character wants a drink of. There are no limitations when it comes to it - coffee, tea, soda, juice - all the flavors of the world are open.

The food being served are typical treats. Pastries of all varieties, savory or sweet, cookies and cakes. But, in the center of the table where the headmistress usually sits, is a large bowl of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. Care to try your hand and see if you got something that tastes good or foul? It's the ultimate Trick or Treat.

Dance Floor
Behind the refreshment table instruments have been bewitched to play music. It floats onto the dance floor, the Great Hall's ceiling high above sparkling with clear skies and beautiful view of twinkling stars. The mood is set to have a great time, the floor of the Great Hall free for movement.

Would you care to dance?

Wallflowers
There are small round tables placed near the entrance of the Great Hall that arc into a U-shape around the dance floor, chairs surrounding each table. They're the only seats around, but there's plenty for those who are too stubborn to move onto the floor with a partner or ask someone to dance with them.

Outside the Great Hall

The hallway.
From inside the Great Hall music drifts outside into the halls above the light chatter of people having fun. There is also the smell of delicious foods and promises of fun inside. But despite this, if crowds are not your scene and you want some peace and quiet, the hallway is a great place to gain some distance from it all and still be considered a party-goer.

Courtyard.
In light of Halloween being upon them, the courtyard is decorated with what could be considered glittering lights if electricity was a common place thing. Instead, they're small candles inside of appropriately small lanterns. It's a thing of beauty, seen only once a year by students around Halloween. It's not the ghoulish holiday the muggle world makes it out to be, but it is steeped in rich history and Witches and Wizards celebrate accordingly.

It's not encouraged (though it's not discouraged either) to move out into the courtyard so late at night. Always have your wits about you, children.

Hogwarts at large.
The masquerade not enough for you? Do you just feel like going back to the dorms or wandering the halls? That's perfectly acceptable too.

Make your own fun.
Don't see anything in this list that interests you? Feel free to play around and make your own fun out of this scenario. There are plenty of spirits running around and lots to do with what's going on. Have fun!

[ Cell phone. Mobile. Whatever you call them doesn't really matter because it's not something to expect in Hogwarts of all places. Yet Gareki's fingers fly across the small on-screen keyboard of his. Which works, despite technology being a foreign concept to the general populace of the Wizarding world, who still rely on methods of communication developed in what felt like the stone age.

Gareki's leaned against a wall in the courtyard, allowing the crisp October breeze blow through his hair. There's a small box beside him, resting on a low ledge, and he looks nonchalant but there's something about the way he allows the volume of the buttons to pierce the quiet between the shuffle of other students feet on the ground and over the murmur of chatter.

It's obvious he wants attention, probably for the first time in his school career. It's obvious he wants someone to ask him what he's doing or how he got his phone to work.

So c'mon. Give him what he wants. ]

((OOC: So, Willow prompted me awhile ago and then I wrote this thing. Then I loved it enough to want to share it, and Willow wanted to bounce a taggity session off it, and after a bit of talk, I decided to sell it as a "joint post". I hope you guys are all alright with that. ~~In case it's not, tell me and I'll private it between the two of us.~~ You can tag both characters - if you want to -, in the aftermath, or straight after the cut off, I'm okay with everything. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing this. I hope the colors are okay.

The prompt was, as follows: first day back at school, Gareki chooses to sit by Rin at lunch and Yogi feels passed over so he takes it on himself to say hi, wherein draping himself over him and proceeding to be his normal self))

YOGI

[When September finally rolled around, Yogi had been ecstatic. Finally, finally back in school, back with his friends and everyone he cares about. Not that he doesn’t care about Hirato, or Tsukitachi, but he really just misses his friends, each moment they are not together. Especially Gareki. Everyone, really, but especially Gareki. And since this is Yogi’s last year, he just wants to enjoy it with the people he loves. One last year together, before they split apart and enter the real world.

So when September comes and the halls of Hogwarts open again, one blonde Hufflepuff (not like there’s that many of those) can be seen bouncing around the corridors, giggly and happy and greeting everyone. He spent most of the morning draped over people’s shoulders and is now heading to lunch. It’s a tradition with him and Gareki to sit together during some of the meals, and the Ravenclaw table is pretty much used to him hijacking them on a regular basis.

What he doesn’t, however, expect, is to not see the familiar mop of black hair at the usual spot at the blue-bronze table. Momentarily he’s struck with disorientation, looking around for his best friend. Is Gareki skipping lunch? Yogi doesn’t know about that. But then he spots his best friend over at… huh. The Slytherin table? Gareki never sat at the Slytherin table before. Yogi knows his best friend has a friend or two in the serpentine house, but he never sat at their table before. Very strange. Very unusual.

Yogi cocks his head to the right.

He needs to know more about this.

A mischievous smile spreads on his face, as he approaches the table with long strides, hoping to pounce on Gareki, but as he comes closer, the people and their expressions become more apparent and… well… Yogi stops dead in his steps, when he notices the gentle expression on his best friend’s face.

Gareki is… almost… smiling…

The blue eyes are tinkling strangely and there’s a hint of color on the otherwise pale cheeks. The boy next to him, a redhead with very scary teeth, is grinning, talking animatedly. They look… happy.

Something strange and painful pulls at Yogi’s heart at the same moment as the warm feeling of happiness makes him smile. It confuses him. Why would he feel pain, if his friend is obviously happy? Gareki desperately needs more friends to make him happy, Yogi has always thought that. But Gareki is almost smiling and Yogi can recount the times that has happened on the fingers of one hand, each and every one of them a precious, guarded and treasured memory. It makes him feel strange to not be a part of it, and at the same time curious.

He really needs to know this person.

So without further ado, he puts the grin back into it’s place and bounces towards the table, not bothering to announce himself. That would spoil the surprise.]

Here you are! I was wondering where you were!

[It says something about his and Gareki’s friendship, that the other boy doesn’t even flinch, a thing, that cannot be said about the rest of the table. Especially the redhead looks like he just spit his heart out.]

Merlin’s bloody beard, are you INSANE?!

[Yogi flashes him his brightest grin and slides effortlessly between them.]

Hi! We don’t know each other yet, but I’m Yogi, Gareki’s best friend and you seem to be close, so I thought I should introduce myself! You are?

[The redhead just scowls. Hm, guarded like Gareki then? Yogi wonders how they spend time together.]

Rin.

[The redhead - Rin - finally grumbles, so quiet that Yogi almost doesn’t catch it. Oh, he’s shy then? That’s cute! Yogi smiles encouragingly and quips.]

Hi Rin!

[Rin looks away and across the table. Yogi follows his gaze and sees a brunette with an unusual shade of blue eyes share a look with Rin. Oh, wordless communication, that’s pretty cool! So Rin is able to form such a kind of bond? Maybe that’s how he communicates with Gareki as well? There’s that strange pull again, but the part of Yogi, that appreciates the beauty of such a bond, is stronger.

He waves a hand at the brunette in greeting.]

Hi!

[The brunette’s face goes blank. Oh, he’s shy too then? Maybe all Slytherin’s are and that’s why they keep their distance from everyone? Aww, that’s cute! He tells them this aloud. They stare some more.]

RIN

[After the first five minutes Rin is pretty sure, that he actually died and landed in hell.

Because.

Yogi. Won’t. Stop. Talking!

The words just flow out of the blonde’s mouth in a torrent now, and he’s practically draped over Rin, as he keeps talking and talking, while still being able to eat without being disgusting and Merlin how does he do that? Rin is pretty sure he looks pleadingly at Gareki several times, but it turns out his… what are they exactly? … his no-idea-what-but-not-actually-important-right-now is a little shit and just ignores him completely. If Rin didn’t know better, he’d say the Ravenclaw is trying not to laugh at him. The nerve of him!

What’s worse, Rin’s head is starting to hurt and he’s starving. Sousuke has dragged him out on the broom this morning and Rin had said yes, because why not, and he obviously had no idea it would turn into a competition, because it’s not like everything turns into a competition with them. He’s tired and starving, and Yogi is making his head hurt.

Okay, but the way this guy keeps talking is getting creepy. Creepier than Sousuke’s schoolboy crush on their coach, which Rin sometimes could swear is reciprocated (and okay no, he did not need that mental image over his lunch, thank you very much), and that is already giving Rin enough chills as it is. But this? Where does the dude even find that many words?! And holy spirits of Uhuru, how does Gareki deal with this every day?!

This is insane.

Sousuke isn’t helping either, the traitor, trying his best to make himself as small and invisible as possible (you know, with everything his best friend packs and whatnot), after the goldilocks’ has waved at him, like they are best friends.

Yogi is dangerous.

This is the conclusion Rin has reached so far. And if the blonde menace gets any closer, Rin will demand a restriction order, or better yet, put up a protego totalum each time Yogi is as far as down the hall. Rin usually doesn’t mind physical contact, but this is too much. He barely knows this guy, so why does he have to put up with having him all over his back?!

That’s the exact moment when Yogi’s hand moves from where it’s been resting against his shoulder to put his arm around them and oh Merlin, does this guy have no idea about personal space whatsoever?!]

You don’t have to be shy, don’t worry I don’t bite. [Yogi says with a smile and in a voice that’s probably supposed to be quiet and reassuring, which, surprisingly, hits the note quite well, but the problem is, his breath tickles Rin’s ear, and Rin is just. So. Done.

That’s the figurative last drop, right there.

The fact that he feels heat in his cheeks does not make it any better either.]

Oh my god, can you just get off my back?!!

[He springs to his feet, arms raised from where he straightened up to shake the blonde menace off. The blonde menace, who gives him a look like Rin has punched him between those… oh wow, purple eyes. Almost like a rainbow and- NO, MATSUOKA, YOU ARE UPSET, GET IT TOGETHER.]

There’s this thing called personal space!

Uh… I… Uhm… I’m sorry… [Yogi stammers, cringing, looking like he almost… expects that punch and yeah, congratulations Matsuoka, you made and asshole of yourself. In front of your no-idea-what-but-not-actually-important-right-now’s best friend. Very mature.

The idea to apologize crosses his mind after he’s already stormed out of the great hall.

He’s halfway back to the dorm, when he realizes he’s still starving.]

Sydney, Australia

[The one thing Rin hates about summer break? He's too far away from everyone. He loves the summer break, but he misses his friends greatly, and this year, he's got a boyfriend to miss as well.

The good thing? He's got great foster parents, who allow visits. And the fact that the portkey and floo powder system developed a lot in the last decade, allowing effective long distance travelling, with scheduled times and public exits. It still is a pain though sometimes, especially when there's a line all the way to the barrier to the Muggle world.

Which is why Rin had spent the last weeks of the school year, convincing people to come and visit. Sousuke, Adela, Seth... basically anyone. Russel and Lori always prepare the guest room, Winnie, the dog, jumps up and down, feverishly welcoming the new visitors, Gou is a satan's child in angel's disguise and everything is perfect.

They go to the beach, even if it's winter in the southern hemisphere, because the beach is one of the best parts Sydney has to offer, they spend their evenings in downtown Sydney, or even camping in the outback, if it's snot too cold. You know. As long as the environment doesn't decide it wants you dead.]

A. Just Like a Circus.
[ Diagon Alley. No matter what time of year it was, this particular part of the wizard world seemed to never stop being busy. The streets were thick with people, some he recognized from various places (dirty dealings or school, take your pick) and some were strangers. But it was the two rambunctious children that raced squealing past him, their mother yelling after them to behave or their father would be cross with them, that caught his attention.

It wasn't a forethought, per say. But somewhere in Gareki's mind, he wondered if he could have ever had that kind of normalcy in his own youth. Instead, his mind was filled with the knowledge that his parents sold him off and that he had just enough good fortune to wind up with adoptive siblings, albeit very poor ones that often left him feeling guilty.

The children giggled despite their mother, and he silently stuck his hands in his pockets as he sidestepped their angry mother, keeping himself forward toward Gringotts. ]

B. Too Hot, It's Really Too Hot!
[ The thing about summer was that while Gareki didn't mind the heat, it also didn't mean he liked it. Some days just made him feel like he was boiling from the inside out, and today was one of them. This only meant he was in a miserable mood, wishing more than ever it would cool down already. ]

Tch. Even a little rain would make this better.

[ Sweat beaded on his brow, leaving him to reach up to wipe at it with his forearm, a small disgusted grumble following as he rolled his shorts higher and slipped his feet out of his shoes. He waded into a fountain, not caring how it would look to anyone. ]

C. You're the City Lights
[ It's night time in the middle of downtown London. If Gareki bothered to look at his mobile, it would probably tell him that it was sometime around 9 PM. Not that time really mattered, when he promised to be there in ten minutes.

While the daytime was uneventful, Gareki had business now. Business of the strangely legitimate kind. Sort of.

In a dark alley, he rested against a brick wall waiting. And, within minutes he was greeted by a man with mousy hair and a shifty nature about him that set him apart from Gareki. The meeting didn't take long, but there was an exchange of money for a slip of paper, and a promise that Gareki would get his shipment of phones by the end of the week.

Gareki pocketed the paper and made his way back out, down the street. ]

Anywhere

[Rin can't believe his luck. Two weeks ago he was cursing his fate and now he has been rewarded with this joy. With someone to hold, to kiss, to love. It's a complete 180 from two weeks ago and it shows in his mood. He's grinning and laughing everywhere he goes, feeling mischievous and in a good mood. Suddenly he's nice and practically beaming at everyone he talks to, probably leaving not a few people confused. He's almost skipping on his toes and his game is better than it had ever been and he has a newfound motivation in lessons. Except... his grades haven't maybe changed as much, like he doesn't learn as much as before, but anyone who has seen him with a certain white haired Ravenclaw student can probably guess he's got better things to do.]

Dark corner

[Except there's one catch. That whitehaired Ravenclaw was a boy. And though Rin tried not to promote it too much, he isn't hiding it either and answered honestly to everyone who asked. Yes, he and Seth were dating. Usually people were okay with this... But not always. Rin has long ago learned that what other people said, or thought is by no means important, but that didn't mean it couldn't hurt him... or worse. His usual reply to any form of discrimination is a flash of sharp teeth, a warning growl and a seethed 'Get lost', but some people are just really resilient to that. Especially the ones who may not be taller, but had twice as broad a chest as him.]

What you a pansy?

[Is what he would face at least thrice a week, pushed against a wall and surrounded, and that is still the better case. He'd fight back, but usually he's gravely outnumbered.]

Toiletts, yet again

[Since encounters like that begun to happen in quite the frequency, Rin started to carry some make up with himself to be able to cover up the bruises. Taking a trip to the nurse's office each time it happened would be like begging for the teachers to get mixed up in this and he doesn't want that.

Thus, usually after such an encounter, he can be see hurrying to the nearest rest room, covering a part of his face, or keeping his head down, hair falling into his face, concealing it. This heightens the risk of bumping into someone, of course, but if he does, he just hurries further, not wanting to deal with the various looks of pity, or contempt.

Once in front of the mirror he washes his face and dibs the marks gently with powder, staring at his reflection in the mirror with an angry look, tears shining in his eyes. But these tears he doesn't let fall. He keeps telling himself that they're not worth it, that this is the kind of situation that - as a certain friend would tell him - can be solved with punches, no need to loose precious fluids over it. But it still hurts. Hurts to be hated for who you were... Rin wonders what was so wrong about loving someone, but he can't find an answer, or a reason. So he just bites back the hurt and let's the anger contain in, as he quietly sneers at his reflection.]

HAVING FUN, Anywhere

[Usually it's very easy to spot Yogi, a bright, sparkling smile a mile wide and his cheerfully loud loud carrying through the halls, golden blond hair shining in the light of the sun. He might be coming from class, or hanging out with friends. Maybe he's on his way from the kitchens, where he begged a bag of sweets out of the housel elves and their new head cook. If he's alone he's most of the time found either sewing one cute thing or another, which is most likely intended to be a gift for an unfortunate soul, or playing in the dorms with his yellow tabby cat, recognizeable by her trademark pink bow.]

FENCING, Outside probably

[Yogi hates violence, which is why he was never temped to try quidditch, but he does like to keep himself in shape. In spite of his adversity to the sport, Yogi is a decent flyer, but what he does regularly practice, is fencing. In his spare moments, he can be seen practicing on one of the courts, the basic thrust and parry, along with some advanced moves,but his training is never too vigorous, but more elegant. Most usually he doesn't practice too long, easily distracted by more important things to do, like spending time with his friends.]

HARVESTING ROSES, Around the Greenhouses, I suppose?

[Those who have been in Hogwarts for a year or two, and those that take time to wander around aimlessly, will have noticed the thorny bush in one of the hidden corners of the castle. They're obviously well-cared for and tended to even during the cold winter months, handled with special care. Maybe you're in your luck and can spot Yogi shuffling around them, making sure they have all they need. It's his small secret, his little rosegarden, that he wants to grow.]

A) SLYTERIN COMMON ROOM

[Rin lies huddled on the couch, his school cloak wrapped tightly around him, as he sleeps. Ever since Rin came back from Australia, he can barely sleep at night, lieing awake and trashing around. Nghtmare plaguing him are nothing new, but it's been a long time since he had bouts of insomnia during the night. During the day he's lifeless, eyes averted to the ground, never looking up, when he talks, or even when he's asked.

When he does find rest, usually during the late afternoon, or during the breaks between lessons, he dreams. He dreams about drowning and then about tigers, purring white tigers, that craddle him, like they want to protect him. Usually he startles awake, with a gasp, only to find himself even more exhausted and going back to sleep again, only to have the entire cycle repeat once more.]

B) SCHOOL GROUNDS, ANYWHERE

[During the day he can barely focus, falling almost asleep even during his favite lessons like Potions and Arithmancy. When he gets called out, he doesn't know the answer, but it doesn't even seem like he particulary cares. He just keeps gazing out of the window, or into the ground, with an unbelievable sad expression on his face.

He has lost his appetite and barely eats his meals, fork listlessly poking at the juicy steak - his favorite - as he keeps staring into the ground. Occassionally his gaze lifts up a little bit, only to take a glance at the neighbouring Ravenclaw table, to see if he can spot a glimpse of silver hair, but usually he quickly averts it again, as if in fear of being noticed.]

C) A PRIVATE CORNER, TOILETS

[Sometimes the feelings overwhelm Rin too much and that's when he excuses himself, only to run to the nearest restroom and hides in an empty stalls, to let his emotions a free go. He hates being weak like that, crying like a baby, but he can't help it. That's the worst part. It's been over half a month since he last talked to Seth and it's tearing him apart. It's obvious that the Ravenclaw has been avoiding him and it's so painful, that it feels like he's gonna die.

He's so stupid, so fucking stupid!

How could he have ever let that happen? How could he have ever done that? How could he have ver though that...

Rin wailesand sobs, hiding his face in his hands, mourning the loss of his friend. Seth surely hates him now. And it's all Rin's fault.]

Ravenclaw Common Room
[ It's the middle of the night when Gareki climbs out of bed and slides his feet into a pair of warm slippers. The castle's not frigged, he's felt worse, but it's enough that he pulls the blanket off his bed and drags it with him as he makes his way to the common room. Quietly, he flops into one of the old worn out sofa's and throws the cover over himself, only to stare a the glowing embers of the fire.

So much for that idea. And he left his wand by his bed. ]

Tch. Insomnia could have hit at a better time.

[ Y'know. Like a time he didn't have to wake up and take one of the classes he hated. ]

Library
[ Gareki is no stranger to the library. If anyone knows him, they know that's the first place to look for him when they want him. If they know him even better, they know his hiding spot is the furthest table away from people, where he could read in peace. Well. Most of the time.

Today is no different. Gareki is currently reading one of the smuggled restricted area books, not particularly caring if anyone found him. It's not like he couldn't use a confudus charm on them, and not like he hadn't spelled the book's cover he was reading to look harmless. ]

Great Hall
[ Among the other ravenclaws, he sits eating dinner. Well, more like picking and choosing what he wants to eat. It's not that Gareki is picky, but that despite the food being good, he's still not as used to, even after years of acclimating, things like pumpkin juice and Flobberworm fritters.

Honestly, he'd love a good burger. ]

Oi, how the hell can you eat this? [ He's pointing to a fitter. ] It's disgusting.
