business cards

Mar 15, 2006 08:46

All over the school, business card size rectangles have appeared. Some of them are in really strange or inaccessible places. Any time someone says the word "wish", the nearest one will slide over to them along the wall or floor.

Down on your luck? Karma kicking your ass? Yearning for a special someone?

owl! mightymorfin March 15 2006, 19:55:30 UTC

Morfin is kicking his heels outside the Hufflepuff common room, wondering what to do next. As he sometimes does, he is talking to himself. "I wish I knew the best way to start that schoolwide support group the Hat asked me to start!"

At the word wish, a small card whisks right up to Morfin. He picks it up, puzzled. "Goddess Technical Help Line?" Maybe this will help him!

He composes an owl right away, writing in large block letters.

DEAR GODDESS TECHNICAL HELP LINE

I AM SUPPOSED TO TALK TO SOME PSYCHIATRISTS AND START A SUPPORT GROUP BECAUSE THE HAT THINKS I SHOULD DO IT AND IT WOULD HELP PEOPLE. I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE! I DON'T KNOW WHO TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS. CAN YOU HELP ME?

SINCERELY
MORFIN JONES

Re: owl! goddess_bell March 15 2006, 20:16:46 UTC

((OOC: *howls* This is exactly what I was hoping for.))

Tiny, cursive script appears on the back of the card Morfin is holding. It reads, 'Please hold while we process your access request ...'
'Processing ... '
'GRANTED.'
'A technician will arrive at your location shortly. Please remain where you are.'

About thirty seconds later, the shiny, reflective metal surface of a set of armour nearby begins to glow dimly. The glow brightens, and Belldandy, in full Goddess regalia (from the Hogwarts uniform she was wearing immediately previous (if anyone wants to see her vanish)) appears. She touches down lightly, clasping her hands in front of her, and bows to Morfin. She then presents her personal business card. "Hello! I am the Goddess Belldandy. What is your wish?"

Re: owl! mightymorfin March 15 2006, 20:25:22 UTC

Morfin is shocked and awed! "It really is a help line run by a Goddess!" He takes the business card and tucks it away carefully in his cardigan pocket.

"Well, you see, like I said in my owl ... the Sorting Hat made me promise that if it let me into Hogwarts, I would start a schoolwide support group. I have a lot of experience being in therapy, and there are so many people at Hogwarts that need help! The Hat told me all about it! There are addicts in Ravenclaw and emo kids in Gryffindor and and and ... I don't even know where to start! And the Hat wants me to arrange it under a psychiatrist's supervision, but the only doctor I know here so far is Dr. Wilson, who is very nice but isn't a psychiatrist. I heard some bad things about Dr. Lecter and I won't even go near him." Morfin is afraid that Dr. Lecter will manipulate him into a relapse from his hard-won state of medicated tranquility.

Belldandy was inexpressibly relieved as Morfin began to speak. At last, here was a situation she could be of some use in. /This/ was her duty -- bringing happiness to the lives of mortals.

"So ... your wish is to find a psychiatrist who will help you with your support group?"

Re: owl! mightymorfin March 15 2006, 20:38:24 UTC

Morfin sighs. "Yes, but -- a nice one. One who really wants to help people, just like I do. Not a nasty mean one," he stresses, thinking of the rumors about Dr. Lecter. "And it should be one who is available a lot of the time in case people need help."

Re: owl! goddess_bell March 15 2006, 20:53:37 UTC

Belldandy closes her eyes, clasps her hands, and prepares to send the request to Yggdrasil. A beam of light spears from the diamond on her forehead, slicing up through the school to the heavens. Whirlwinds of light lift her off her feet for a moment before the show diesdown.

"Your wish has been granted. Here is a list of the doctors in residence at Hogwarts at this time. You should pay special attention to the ones marked with stars." She hands him a parchment with a list inscribed on it.

'Doctor Who, 4th incarnation
Doctor Who, 10th incarnation*
Doctor John Watson*
Doctor Stephen Maturin*
Doctor Gregory House
Doctor Hannibal Lector
Doctor Frasier Crane*

Alternatives:
Mister Spock
Shepherd Book*
Esmerelda Weatherwax
Aziraphale*
Albus Dumbledore*
Anne Shirley
Minerva McGonagall
Remus Lupin'

"Thank you for choosing the Goddes Helpline." Belldandy bows and turns to go back through the armor's chestplate.

Re: owl! mightymorfin March 15 2006, 20:57:27 UTC

"Wow ... that's a long list! Thanks, Goddess!" Morfin beams happily. "Hey, if I can ever help you, let me know! Just owl me, I'm Morfin Jones in Hufflepuff!"

Re: owl! goddess_bell March 15 2006, 21:01:03 UTC

Belldandy pauses, then turns back. "You're also in Hufflepuff? That's very good. I'm so glad! You're best suited there, I think." She smiles brilliantly on Morfin, her clothes morphing back into the Hogwarts school uniform.

Re: owl! mightymorfin March 15 2006, 21:04:30 UTC

"I am! You're a Hufflepuff too?" Morfin is even happier to know that there's a nice person in Hufflepuff. "Are any of those doctors in Hufflepuff? Maybe it would be easier to talk to one of them if they were in the same house."

Re: owl! goddess_bell March 15 2006, 21:09:05 UTC

"I think you may be better off reaching out to other Houses," Bell tells Morfin gently, but she reaches for the list anyway. "The Tenth Doctor Who is a Hufflepuff, and so is Aziraphale and Watson-sensei." She looks more closely at the list. "It seems Heaven agrees with you, Jones-san. All the Hufflepuffs have stars by their names." She hands the list back.

Re: owl! mightymorfin March 15 2006, 21:14:36 UTC

Confused, but always receptive to gentle guidance, Morfin accepts the list gratefully. "Reaching out to other Houses?"

Re: owl! goddess_bell March 15 2006, 21:16:22 UTC

"If the Hat asked you to create a support group, I'm sure it meant for the group to be accessible to all, not just Hufflepuffs. There are sure to be many in other Houses as well who would be grateful to have a listening ear." Bell pats Morfin on the shoulder. "I'm sure your group will be a wonderful addition to Hogwarts!"

Re: owl! mightymorfin March 15 2006, 21:17:57 UTC

"I'll try my best! Thanks, Goddess!"

Re: owl! goddess_bell March 15 2006, 21:19:23 UTC

Bell bestows a final smile on the beaming young man before she vanishes back trhough the reflection.

Re: owl! has_great_ties March 16 2006, 06:07:30 UTC

((OOC: You missed James Wilson. Who's in Slytherin, but isn't on the student roster, for some reason.))

Re: owl! mightymorfin March 16 2006, 07:00:34 UTC

(( Can I take this as OOC approval to have Morfin pester Wilson about his support group? ))
