*BOOM!*

[splodyscientist]

*Anyone who is awake and has reason to be out in the halls in the middle of the night might hear a muffled explosion. Those close to the potions classroom will notice a thick cloud of green smoke.*

*is wandering aimlessly through corridors and manges to duck and let out a half yelp half scream without thinking when she hears a nearby explosion* I DIDN'T DO IT!

[splodyscientist]

*still coughing* Of course you didn't, Peeves did.

[spacethief_vala]

Sorry, force of habit I guess. *embarrassed smile* What did Peeves get up to now? You all right?

[splodyscientist]

Oh, he knocked over one of my experimental cauldrons when I wasn't looking. *coughing* And possibly some other mischief, I'm not sure. I'm fine, I think, but that batch is ruined. *coughing sigh*

[sirprofessor]

*Hurries over and opens the door*

*Shouts while waving the smoke*

Watari! Are you alright?

[splodyscientist]

*also fanning smoke*

More or *cough* less. At least, I don't *cough* think that this smoke is dang*cough*ous. But I've lost a month and ha*cough*half of work.

[sirprofessor]

What happened? I heard you yell.

[splodyscientist]

Peeves thought it would be funny to knock over one of my more volatile experiments. At least the smoke is starting to thin out.

*always having trouble sleeping, Miranda had been wandering through the halls to pass the time- as a result, she had been quite close by when the explosion occurred* Oh no! Oh no no no no no... I didn't think walking around the halls would induce explosions... although I don't see why I didn't, it would certainly keep students in their rooms... oh noooo...

[splodyscientist]

*trying to dissipate the smoke*

*puzzled and still coughing* What are you talking about? Peeves knocked over one of my cauldrons. *coughing* It's not your fault.

((A winnar is you!))

[badluck_lotto]

Eh- eh? Really? *looks rather confused at this fact- something went wrong and she wasn't the cause? That was new*

[splodyscientist]

*nodding* Peeves is our resident poltergeist; he likes to cause problems. I'm actually rather surprised he hadn't got around to me before.

[tastefulsilence]

*is 'innocently' wandering the dungeons, is just outside the potions classroom door, freezes at the explosion*

What th-... no one was supposed to be here tonight. Damn it, I'm gonna have to get those ingredients later. *shifty*

*debates if he should bother enquiring after the health of the person inside*

[[strike isn't there]]

[splodyscientist]

What do you mean, no one was supposed to be here tonight? I'm usually here at night.

[tastefulsilence]

Oh. Really? *tries not to sound disappointed* I didn't realize you were so dedicated! *sounds suitably awed*

*feins concern*
You alright?

[splodyscientist]

It's not so much dedication as it is not wanting to expose everyone to this sort of thing. *indicates smoke and destroyed cauldron*

I'm fine, I think.

... Were you looking for something? I don't usually see you down here.

[bobthewizard]

..Oh no.
