In The Old Man's head, the word "Doodlebop" somehow translated itself to "Digdogger," an old acquaintance of his.

"DIGDOGGER HATES CERTAIN KIND OF SOUND?," The Old Man asked.

[rooney_r_doodle]

"Uh..." Rooney put on a perturbed look but then smiled. "I like all kinds of sounds! What's a digdogger? Is that anything like a rare bandy-legged boobie bird? Those things are REALLY hard to find! Did you know they're among the rarest birds in the entire world!"

He paused. His infinitely ADHD personality finally took hold of his surroundings.

"Wow...this isn't the playhouse... I wonder where Deedee and Moe are." Rooney scratched his head dramatically. "Huh!"

[eastmostdodongo]

Hmmm, so Digdogger was lost? "PATRA HAS THE MAP," The Old Man said helpfully.

[rooney_r_doodle]

"A map! That sounds like a lot of fun! My sister, Deedee, and I use a map a lot to find Moe! Moe likes to hide. Like, every day. Not that I'm annoyed by it. It's not like," Rooney paused, taking a moment to laugh insanely, "he's the most popular person in the band or anything. Just because he has millions of adoring fans both old and young, doesn't make him anything special. And, really, is break dancing really all that cool? I mean, I play a guitar and do in air splits! He flails on the ground...I mean...come on. Are ya with me?"

[garu_sama]

Wandering absently around the halls, Garu seemed to have ended up... Exactly where he started.

"Great." he muttered to himself.

It was then that he noticed the room was not empty. Indeed, it seemed the school had another applicant. Glancing over the parchment, he folded his arms over his chest.

"What would make you think that Harry is short for Harriet?" he asked the strange-looking individual.

[rooney_r_doodle]

"Uh...well," Rooney said, and fidgeted. He leaned over to no one in particular and nodded, "My CBC representative says I don't have anything to say about that."

[garu_sama]

"Is that so?" Garu asked, turning his head a little sideways at him as though it would also help give him a little new insight into him.

"So you mean to tell me that you don't have your own ideas about things? If that's so, maybe your representative should be attending the school instead."

But he still gave the blue person an encouraging smile, to let him know that he wouldn't bite. At least, not hard.

[rooney_r_doodle]

"I have lots of ideas about lots of things!" he insisted. "In fact I've been thinking about making an invention that will make words that you say into real words!! Ummm, I think I'll call it...the Word Maker Realer. Working title." Rooney nodded sincerely.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?"

[rooney_r_doodle]

"I'm a Doodle!" Rooney said enthusiastically and not one bit phased by the man's tone of voice nor his apparent shouting.

"What are you?" he asked, jokingly, with a giggle.

[wright_phoenix]

Okay, still slighly horrifying, but at least this person didn't go around killing lawyers. Yet.

"I....I'm a lawyer. Phoenix Wright."

[rooney_r_doodle]

"Oh wow! A lawyer! That's so cool! Do you work on cases and stuff! My brother once lost his drumsticks and blamed everyone he saw. He found them finally at the concert. We coulda really used a lawyer then, prolly. Oh! And we could prolly also use lawyers for all those parents who think we're propagating the homosexual agenda..." Rooney finished with a blank stare and an empty smile.

This guy looked like the rejectiest of Arkham rejects. Like, not even fit for Guy Gardner's rogue gallery.

Still, he vaguely resembled an evil clown, and needed to be dealt with accordingly. Evil clowns and Robins did not mix!

"There's a no-kill spell in place," she told him, without bothering to read the application. "So any heist you might be planning isn't going to work out."

Good detectiving there, Steph.

[rooney_r_doodle]

Rooney blinked once.

"Is that anything like spell-check?" he asked, innocently. "Wait! I know! My sister Deedee does magic too!" His eyes got big and his mouth did a good representation of the 15th letter of the alphabet at the realization. A huge vacuum sealed gasp emitted from his mouth. "Do you do MAGIC!"

[busty_robin]

Ah! Terrifying! Steph half expected poison to shoot out of his mouth. It was a completely reasonable assumption.

"I do." Hmm. Deedee. She couldn't think of any hoods that went by the alias of Deedee. That still didn't put him in the clear! "What brings you to Hogwarts?"

[rooney_r_doodle]

Hogwarts? Ew. Gross. Was that some sort of disease, he wondered. But thanks to his keen observation of sentence structure, he thought safe to assume it was a place.

"I don't know..." he admitted dubiously. "Maybe...I invented a machine that can transport me places! Yeah! That's it. Wow! I'm a really good inventor!...If only I could remember actually inventing it...hm." He tapped his chin dramatically in thought.

[mageofanima]

Erk blinked. The man was blue. And very, very loud. "Why don't your inventions turn out like they're supposed to?"

[rooney_r_doodle]

"I'm just a kid," Rooney protested despite his height at 5'11 and well-developed body. "I still need a lot of practice. But I really like inventing things! Do you like inventing things?"

[mageofanima]

Awfully tall for a kid. I guess this just means he's not human. Erk shrugged. "I can't say I'm much of an inventor myself. Any mage comes up with a couple original spells, though."

[rooney_r_doodle]

"Spells!" he exclaimed. "That's so cool! My sister Deedee knows magic too!"

He paused, thinking.

"Wow, is this, like, a magic place or something?"
