1st Snorkack - Introductions

[Well, isn't this interesting. This isn't the Forbidden Forest at all. This actually appears to be quite a nice hill with quite a lovely breeze.

Luna opens her eyes, the mysterious voice that had led her into blackness still echoing in her ears. Finally, after the world stops spinning, she tries to sit up. As she does so, she catches sight of

[Link had returned to the garden from his exploration to the mysterious cave. He had really wanted to explore it, and he almost did, except for the fact that he had no supplies in case he got lost or ended up running into something.

As he came over the hill, he saw the little village in the distance. He had walked through it before, but he hadn't bothered to take a good look. There was something else there though. A funny looking....dog? It didn't look dangerous. Link trotted towards it.]

Hey, do you live here?

[dirigible_dear]

Hm? [She looks one way, then the other, before finally focusing on Link. Luna tilts her head curiously, scratching her head as she plays back the question.] No, I don't live here. I wouldn't mind it, of course, it seems like a lovely little village. But I only just arrived here today. I don't know how.

[triedforce]

You too, huh?

[Link notices her tail, and then the blue paint splattered everywhere.]

[She follows his gaze to her tail, and then to the trail of paint and:] Oh. Yes. It's a bit heavy. Certainly heavier than a wand. I'm afraid I seem to keep forgetting about it.

I'll clean it up.

[triedforce]

Oh, just that we both turned up here today.

[Link tilts his head.]

A wand? So, you study magic?

[dirigible_dear]

Yes, I do. At a school called Hogwarts. It's not a very nice place now, but we were hoping to sort things out with our new headmaster.

[triedforce]

Hmmm. You think people there had something to do with turning us into these things? That would have to be some really powerful magic though.

[dirigible_dear]

Oh, no. Transfiguring people is one of the most difficult levels of transfiguration there is. I think only Professor McGonnagoll could have managed it, and certainly not this many of us.

[A pause as Luna muses on this, apparently lost in her own thoughts.] We could all have drunk the same potion, I suppose. That would take much less time. It would be temporary, if this were caused by a potion, but it might still last rather a while...
