Welcome to the Hot Tubs of Diversity! (Open RP)

[adm_zex]

So said the sign the elves were putting up. That extra bit of Ravenclaw tardis-like space had really been useful. Zex admired the large tubs (with shallow ends for the shorter students and elves), the fluffy towells, the lockers, and the emergency supply of rubber duckies. The last bit puzzled him, but the elves seemed to think it was important

George didn't exactly know what a hot tub was. He just thought it was a really warm bath. Hence why he showed up in a bathrobe, carrying a rubber duck, which George had heard was a good thing to have in the bath. Who knew that they were so popular this day and age!

"Hello!" Zex was playing gracious host. "I see you brought one of those things-" A head tentacle pointed to the ducky. "We have plenty already, though- the house elves said they were neccessary. What are they, some kind of intimate cleaning tool, mmmm?"

George did not hear a single thing Zex said.

"BY GEORGE!" he cried, looking in horrified fascination at Zex and his tentacles. "What are you?"

[adm_zex]

Fear or delight? Who was George?

"I'm a VUX!" Zex carolled proudly. "But- ah don't worry, I don't share the prejudiced views of most of my species. My name's Zex and I'm a prefect of Ravenclaw."

[tallyhopippip]

Presumably, Saint George.

"What's a Vux?" George asked eagerly. "And what are these...long, green, wormy things?"

[adm_zex]

"I am- that's my race. And these things-" Zex waved his head-tentacles "-you would probably call them tentacles. Some humans find them disturbing."

[tallyhopippip]

"They're fascinating!" Then again, George has been stuck in a trench for a few years. His sense of 'disturbing' is skewed. "I bet you could juggle easily with those!"

[adm_zex]

Love!
Zex beamed and did his best to approximate a smile.
"Maybe I could- what's juggling?"

[tallyhopippip]

"Oh, you know," George picked up another duck. "Throwing two or more things in the air and keeping them in the air as long as possible." George tried to juggle and failed miserably.

"Well, that didn't go well."

[adm_zex]

"Really? What, ah..what were you trying to do?" Zex trailed one of his arms lazily through the air. "Whatever it was, it did look clever."

[tallyhopippip]

"I was trying to juggle. I never was really any good at it though. What I did in the minstrel show was sing, after all."
