[Video; Action for Hufflepuffs]

[no1troll]

[Wow, amazing. Everyone has always wanted to see the wall of the Hufflepuff common room, right? Because that's what this video seems to be about, at first, before the camera tilts a bit, following one of Tavros's oversized horns until his face comes into view. It's really something. Pointy ears, jagged teeth, oversized horns, yellow eyes... this

What's a... Screechsnap? I've seen those creatures around, though.

It's a plant that gets really mad when someone breaks it.

[He glances down at the niffler, then back up at the screen, keeping his voice low so as to not disturb it.]

They're nice looking. I think it's Professor Sprout's, since mostly all of the plants here are hers.

Um. Plants can get... mad?

[This is news to Roxas, he doesn't pay attention to this kind of thing. But he's more interested than anything] I mean, I guess... I wouldn't like to be broken by someone.

Re: video

Yeah, um. I definitely understand how it must have been feeling. But it isn't like he did it on purpose, the niffler, I mean, and someone fixed it right back up, so I don't know why it yelled so much. And it nearly uprooted itself, too, it was so angry. Someone else is looking after it, since I don't know much about plants and things.

Maybe it didn't know the niffler didn't do it on purpose? I mean, it's a plant. It probably can't think that much. Can it think?

Re: video

[no1troll]

[He considers it for a moment.]

I have no idea. I don't think it has a think pan, so probably not, unless it keeps it underground. There are a lot of things here that I don't really understand.

[shardsofmemory]

A think... pan? There's a lot I don't get, either. ....actually, it's most of it.

[no1troll]

Umm. Its sponge. Like in here.

[He taps his temple with a finger, smiling nervously.]

Humans use different words, I think, but I don't remember the right one.

[shardsofmemory]

Like... your... brain? That?

video

[no1troll]

Yeah, that's right! I don't think the screechsnap has a brain, but maybe it's really small, like in some really big animals and things, or maybe it's in the root. It would be safer underground, in theory. I should ask Professor Sprout.

video

[shardsofmemory]

But it's a plant. Plants don't have brains. ....do they?

video

[no1troll]

[He shrugs.]

I've never met a plant that yelled and moved before, either, but um... well, there it is. Magic makes things weird and confusing.

[He sounds excited about it more than anything else.]

video

[shardsofmemory]

Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of weird stuff here-- like the stairs. They keep moving. And a suit of armor tried to attack me.

Re: video

[no1troll]

I knew about the armour, but the stairs seem kind of inconvenient, and maybe dangerous if they move at the wrong time. I wonder why they do that.

Uhh, have you seen the ghosts, yet? I think they are especially exciting, especially the first time you see them, when you aren't ready. I saw one go right through a girl, and she was not happy about it.

video

[shardsofmemory]

I just think they're gonna get us lost. It's like this castle has a mind of its own. [Which, honestly, the last castle Roxas lived in did too. Only this one, he can't just portal around. How inconvenient]

The ghosts are those white, see-through people, right?

Re: video

[no1troll]

Yeah, and they're dead, which I think is kind of interesting, because they still are excited, and feel things, even though it's not in a physical way, it's mostly emotional. I talked to the Hufflepuff ghost for a while, and we discussed death and he's really nice. He's called the Fat Friar, but that's probably not his real name.
