Brienne had apparently also forgotten that the first rule of Hogwarts was not to eat any of the food lying around. Which was why she was now eating a piece of cake, her tribble cheeping in annoyance as usual

[iam_beowulf]

Did somebody say Wiglaf? Wiglaf, Wiegraf, same difference. Beowulf came charging in. "I HAVE NOT SEEN WIGLAF! IS HE HERE?" Wiglaf was indispensable as a wingman to Beowulf. It was probably due to Wiglaf's absence that Beowulf hadn't fathered any more dragons since he came to Hogwarts.

There was not Wiglaf, but there was cake. Mmm, cake.

"YOUNG MAN, DID WIGLAF GRANT YOU THIS CAKE?"

[margrat]

"I don't believe so." He blinked. "He's not the sort to have cake. Not the one I know. Actually, I don't know if it's mine. I mean, all of it. I hope a bit of it's mine, seeing as it looks like I've been eating it."

[iam_beowulf]

"WIGLAF LOVES FOOD!" Beowulf objected. "HE WOULD NOT MIND IF I HELP MYSELF."

Beowulf picked up a piece of cake with his hands and took a bite out of it. Forks were not a thing used by the Geats of his day. He didn't mind the frosting smeared on his hands.

For a while, he was quiet, absorbed in his cake-eating.

[margrat]

"Well, he appreciates it all right-" Years into his future, he would revise this assessment.

For now, Gustav stared a moment before returning to his own slice. It was good cake, he thought, and it seemed rather unfair that he couldn't remember taking the first few bites on top of how he couldn't remember how he came to be here at all. But while he was here, he might as well finish it.

Yukimura wandered into the Great Hall in search of food. Doing his duty, trying not to think too much of those he left behind, trying to see things coming that he would need, if not necessarily want, was more exhausting mentally than he expected. But, as he'd told Octavian, the predictions and advice of his people's seers was to be relied upon. Even if it wasn't what he wanted to hear or had hoped to hear.

Cake was something new to him here. And it was plated up as if it were meant to be eaten. He rather liked it, though not the frosting. The frosting was too sweet and sticky for his tastes. He ate out the cake portion, leaving behind the frosting. A strange sensation passed over him and he felt younger and much chillier. He looked down to discover his clothing had left him. "Well, this is unexpected," he said, his voice much younger than he remembered hearing it. He was maybe as old as Sasuke now, about 18 or 20, just barely legally an adult. And the cold was not kind to his anatomy.

[maid_brienne]

Brienne was quietly freaking out. She had a penis! She had been carrying Tyrion Lannister around as a pet for several weeks! Of these two, she could not immediately determine which was the worse fate.

Then she noticed Yukimura. Relieved at someone sympathetic being around, but concerned that he looked cold, she approached.

"What... happened to you?" she rumbled in her now much deeper voice.

[elegantsamurai]

Yukimura looked at the man approaching him. He laughed, perhaps a touch nervously. "I'm sorry, have we met?" he asked. The nudity didn't bother him, it was the familiarity with which he was addressed.

[maid_brienne]

"We did," Brienne said resignedly. "Before we both ate chocolate. It's Brienne." She waited for some sign of recognition, and fought hard not to commence pacing.

[ra_tilt_chimera]

The fact that the person who the cake apparently belonged to should really have been a sign to steer clear, but Zel hadn't quite absorbed that occasionally food that was associated with someone might still be enchanted.

Zel was capable of being as big an eater as Lina and Gourry, though he was generally more polite about it, so it wasn't until he'd finished his slice that he registered that he appeared to be... balanced somewhat differently. He groaned. "Not again."

[omg_sunflora]

Sunflora was not spazzing anymore, but she was moving her fingers, now that she temporarily had some. "Not what again?"

[ra_tilt_chimera]

Zel shook his - or rather, her head. "I think I'm going to have to swear off chocolate for good. This is the second time I've been turned into a woman, not to mention all the other stuff that's happened."

[omg_sunflora]

Sunflora wiggled her fingers. "I got turned into a human." These extra appendages were too weird. She wanted to be back in her body.

A party. It didn't look like the social events of the UES. There were hardly any haute couture around, and no one seemed to be trying to score any social points. And besides, there was cake. A growing teenager was always hungry, so he cut himself a slice, oblivious to the chaos around him. As such was with Nate.

He finished the plate and set it down at the table, while he moped beside it. Hogwarts was a much needed break from his homelife. His family was in financial ruin, and the duchess left town for reasons he was still confused about because Blair was talking really fast. Furthermore, his best friend sounded more and more like an assassin lately.

Nate began to mutter, "Everybody's always talking at me." And, god help us all, he began to sing: "Everybody's always getting in my head." He twirled around to the sound of drums and spread his hands apart. "I gotta listen to my own heart talking." He jumped in a pirouette. There was also twirling. "I need to count on myself instead!" The teenager then began to dramatically stomp

[daisy_inthesun]

Daisy hurriedly walked over to a slightly familiar face after her encounter with The Weasleynator and tapped the boy's shoulder gently.

"Nate Archibald, right?" Her new style fit more with Nate's world, as well as her confidence. "What on earth are you doing, my dear?" She laughed heartily, with a hint of sexy undertones and a breath of old New York still present.

[bad_date_nate]

"~Everybody's trying to get in my heeeeead~." He placed both hands on his temples as he made a wide circle with his torso, accentuated with a few hip thrusts. That was what he was doing, evidently. He then strode past her to thrust both arms into the air before crouching theatrically. He looked at Daisy as the voices of background singers backed it up.

DID YOU EVER...

Nate looked at one of his outstretched hands as he moved them upward, before clapping them while continuing the jazzy hip thrusts. "~Lose yourself to get what you want?~"

DID YOU EVER...

The boy crouched down and smacked the floor before slowing rising to gaze sorrowfully into the distance. "~Get on a ride and wanna get off?~" And then he ran dramatically down the hall. Again. That's how Zac Efron dances, sadly.

[daisy_inthesun]

Daisy giggles and shakes her head after the boy running away. "What odd things going on."
