Open RP - Unpopcorning room

He sat on the edge of the pedistal, staring at the ceiling and taking some stock in his life. Here we go: fact, he was covered, head to toe, in some kinda oily... gook. Fact, he was kinda woozy and disorientated from the whole adventure through whatever kinda hoodoo they'd gotten their fingers into back home ( Read more... )

Fraser, with Diefenbaker at his side, was just on his way back to Gryffindor after a most productive evening in the library. Though it wasn't exactly on the way, most days he let his route take him by the Popcorn Room. Not only did it let him check up on things, but it was really a very scenic and pleasant walk by comparison; and as he no longer had the 20-odd blocks from the 27th to the Consulate to contend with, he welcomed the extra bit of exercise. Every little bit helped!

Most days, it was a fairly standard walk, but today things were slightly different. Most days, when Fraser passed the popcorn room, he smelled salt and the grease and terribly chemical fake butter, and beneath that the faint burnt smell of popped corn, and beneath that the scent of slightly damp stone, and that was usually it.

Today, he smelled hair gel. Well, he still smelled the salt and the butter and the popcorn and the like, but underneath all of that there was hair gel, aftershave, and a whiff of car interior that could only have come from a 1967 GTO, ( ... )

"Whoa whoa WHOA...!" Ray nearly scrambled back up onto the pedestal again, but managed some dignity at the very last second. "Fraser!" He was torn between the 'good to see you' and the 'get your wolf guy off my kicks'.

He settled on a comfortable in-between. "What the hell is goin' on around here?" He sized up Fraser thoughtfully. "And why aren't you covered in this stuff?"

Maybe Canadians really did have some kind of anti-mess shield.

Fraser loped over, beaming as though he had just seen the RCMP Musical Ride go through the hallways of Hogwarts. "I'm sorry, Ray. Diefenbaker's missed you terribly." He understood how the wolf felt, really. Well... He cocked his head to the side, sniffing. "Or it might be possible that he smells the grease on you," he conceded. "I've been trying to improve his diet lately. Dief, let Ray be." The wolf backed off, although his tail wagged furiously as he sat down.

That taken care of, Fraser looked back up at Ray and grinned all over again. Ray! Ray was here! And... oh, Ray was asking him questions. "Ah, well, I've been here for quite some time, actually. Plus, I appeared down in the Sorting Room and not here, and there's not a great deal of salt or hydrogenated soybean oil down there."

.... what?

".... hydrogenated?" At least with the wolf not sniffing his leg he could regain some dignity, right? He gave Fraser a bit of a look. "And here is... where? How come you got here early?"

Fraser smiled a bit, zipping the bag shut and sliding it across the bed to Ray. "As it turns out, Ray, magic is a very useful tool. Actually, it only took one very simple charm to take care of the grease." He nodded to the bag. "I took the liberty of sending for some of your things. I assume it wasn't Turnbull who packed the bag, though; there's far too much practicality and coordination here." Two words that had very little to do with Renfield Turnbull. "The GTO is in long-term parking, and your turtle should be under the care of your landlady. I think that... should take care of everything?"

He dug through the clothes and found something worthwhile, heading back down to the bathroom to at least get his pants on. "I think so. Except what I was wearing should be cleaned, and..." his hand froze, reaching for the now-missing weapon. "... what happened to my gun?"

That taken care of, Fraser went to attend to some of his letters, and was sitting at his desk when Ray returned. At the question, he glanced up. "I'm afraid I had to confiscate that, Ray. You don't have a permit here. It's not legal for you to carry a gun."

"... are you kidding me?" He stared. "I'm an officer of the law on a legit job here, right? I bet that's an exception, c'mon."
