Who: James Potter [

misterprongs]
Broadcast: Fleetwide!
Action: The Marsiva.
When: Now!

[ james potter now has access to a wand.

whether or not he asked for remus' wand, it is not known. the answer is probably not, but look, remus is a very forgiving individual, and while atroma apparently did not trust james with his own wand (rude), his much more responsible werewolf friend has his. and as remus is so kind, surely he wouldn't mind if james borrowed it for a moment or two.

which means --

if you are wandering about the ship, in random hallways, near rooms -- it is snowing. there is no rhyme or reason, but mysteriously, james seems to be present in the affected areas, his hands in his pockets, looking astonishingly calm for such freak weather occurrences. and once he leaves, the snow seems to leave with him, as if it were never there.

also, he might have left a snowman in front of your door, if he particularly likes you. it may also look exactly like you, with a few exaggerated features. and a mandatory hat.

it may also shriek NOOOOOOOOOO when you attempt to knock it over or move it out of the way. alternatively, the snowmen may follow you, but whenever you look at them, they stop moving and look awfully shifty.

weird, right.

after about an hour of this nonsense, james sends out a text message: ]

Anybody need warming up?

Where's my wand, Jamie?

[He isn't all that annoyed. He was a little, when he woke up and his wand was gone, but after the panic had subsided (and the snowmen had appeared), it was all right. It's an amusing enough prank, and all the cleverer because he hadn't used his wand.]

I have no idea what you're talking about.

[ how dare you accuse him of such villainy ]

To be honest, I'm more impressed they all look so eerily alike to people. Well done.

[Allen steps out his doorway in the morning, and while there is no snowman at this door- he does notice the snow in the hallway, and the numerous snowmen down the hall. And this surprise he takes...extremely calmly!]

Ah. Magic Snow.

[He'll step back in to grab the jacket Atroma had let him bring, and then he'll step back out, close his door and head down the hall to get some food y e p.]

Much thanks!

I'm quite the artist.

[Beverly, for one, is delighted with the snow, especially as it doesn't appear to be ship wide or causing any malfunctions. Though she does wonder for a minute if it is something to do with the environmental controls, until she sees the snow centering around this one young man. Hmm. Maybe he is like Anders? (Can Anders actually make it snow? She doesn't know. Either way, magic doesn't throw her as it would have when she first arrived).

Grinning, she approaches the young man.]

Did you do all this?

Now give it back.

[ that

is a disappointing reaction, and james is almost affronted ]

Get magical snow often?

[ he calls out down the hall, arching his eyebrows ]

What's the magic word, Moony.

[ james considers feigning innocence, but look, she looks happy, and that's truly the goal, now, isn't it?

so james removes his wand from his pocket and flicks it neatly, a tiny cloud appearing to sprinkle snow on the ground ]

Guilty as charged.

[ but !! ]

It's entirely harmless, and I'll clean it up once I'm done. Honest.

[Well. This is... new. And cold. Alex gives a little hum of acknowledgement, pulling the sleeves of her sweater down over her hands. Just another day living in the clutches of an anonymous supernatural force.

... Not that she isn't going to have some fun with it. Pulling her wand from her boot, she mutters a spell. The snow intensifies, falling in a larger radius up and down the hallway, and piling more heavily on the metal floors. Magicking up a parka and some mittens, Alex grins. Now this is a little more suited to a snowball fight.

Be wary walking down the halls this morning. You might just get hit by a handful of snow, hurled out of seemingly nowhere.]

[ thunk.

there is a slight moment of stunned silence, because james potter, hit with a snowball? and after quickly removing his glasses and shaking the snow out of his hair, he cleans them with a quick tap of remus' wand and immediately flicks his wrist.

james, the clever wizard that he is, could normally do this without a word. but as it's not his wand -- ]

Wingardium Leviosa!

[a dozen chunks of snow levitate -- and james rolls them neatly into balls with a roll of his wrist. and so they hang there. menacingly. ]

Come along, Miss Alex.

[ taunting. he knows it's you, you little shit. ]

You're challenging a professional.

[He looks when he hears someone call out to him. He looks vaguely familiar...but Allen can't put his finger on where. Eh. Probably from just the hallways]

You do when you lived in a magic castle for awhile.

[ While snow is most definitely familiar and welcome, Winter is not sure how he feels about the snowmen. They look like some of the people he's seen on the Marsiva, but there's a weird feeling about them. He's a little paranoid that he's being followed, though no one else is behind him. Just the snowmen, but that's ridiculous.

The snow isn't localized, but it's indoors only in certain areas. Awfully suspicious that James happens to be in the same area, too. Unfortunately, he's also seen weirder things happen. ]

It's been a while since I've seen snow.

A shame, isn't it?

[ mildly. totally innocent. 100%. ]

I'm a bigger fan of spring, but winter has its moments.

I have lived in the most magical of castles, and we only got magical snow once in a blue moon.

[ SIR. though the ceiling snowed through much of winter, but james hardly considers that special. it's just a ceiling, duh. ]

Which magical castle did you find yourself in?

Edited 2015-11-16 17:42 (UTC)

[After spending a good few minutes being followed by a snowman, Nightingale just turns around and lifts a hand, and the snowman is consumed in a pillar of fire.]

Snow monsters. Seriously? What the hell.

Did you?

[Now that perks his interest a little]

Which castle was that? I was at Cair Paradisa.

[ Yeah, he's not buying that. ]

It does. [ Ah yes, the man of many words. ]

I miss it, sometimes.

[ Nova steps out of her room into the snow, and actually cracks a smile, talking mostly to herself ]

Of all the weird things, this is one I can kind of get behind.

[Is that... A wand? Wands are something she has only ever seen in a holodeck program, and even then not that often. Fantasy programs are not really her cup of tea.]

Oh I'm not worried about that! They reset the ship every night anyway, remember?

[Snow, eh? Al can definitely work with that. When he sees snow in the hallway outside his bedroom door, he smiles and claps his hands. As blue energy sparks between them, Al touches his hands to the floor, and a snow sculpture appears.]

did you do this because if so i will hunt you down and kick you right in the arse

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

[ without missing a beat, though that name -- ]

You were at the same castle as Captain Alex, then?

Oh yeah, that's the school with the houses and that sport with brooms. Quidditch?

[Whatever it was. He gives a slight strange look at Alex being called a captain, but hey whatever]

That's the one, yes.
