Unpopping a Pixie! ((open rp, Jenks - the Rachel Morgan series))

[pixie_jenks]

There was a shifting among the giant kernels of popcorn. A single large kernel appeared in the corridor and popped with a rather loud bang. Instead of a normal-sized human, a pixie about the size of a large dragonfly appeared out of the resulting mess. A very handsome, but grumbling and butter-sodden pixie.

Jing was wandering the castle, looking for things that might catch his interest and wondering if it were time to retrieve a particular item or if there was still a purpose in delay. He followed his ears to a rather new sound, wondering what secrets it would offer him. He hadn't seen a flying person in quite some time, not since his stay at Seventh Heaven, though this one lacked a diaper. "Hello," he said pleasantly enough.

[pixie_jenks]

Jenks tucked his bandana back into his belt. The first person that made a crack about his being covered in butter was going to get pixed. No doubt about it.

The first arrival seemed friendly enough, "Hey," he said, coming to land on the edge of the popcorn plaque. It wasn't wide enough for him to sit down, but he could stand there easily. "Call me Jenks. I don't think I remember you from before.."

[kingbandit]

Jing nodded slightly. "I'm called Jing," he said, smiling, leaning against the wall across from Jenks, sliding his hands into his pockets. "You come from in there?" he asked, gesturing with his chin to the Popcorn Room.

[pixie_jenks]

"I guess so," he answered. "I'm not sure when it happened or how long I was.. where ever I was.." he rubbed his forehead. "One thing I do remember is that this place can make your head hurt if you try and figure too much out."

Wishbone smelled butter again (and really, he's going to get fat at this rate).

When he got in the room, though, he was immediately distracted by Jenks.

Butter! But, flying thing! But butter! But flying thing! BARK AT THE FLYING THING!

And so he did.

Jenks immediately zipped out of the dog's range, "Fantastic, a dog," he grumbled.

When the dog spoke, it startled Jenks enough that he dipped a bit in his hovering. "Hey, you can talk? Are you a witch? I've never seen one that could do something as big as a dog!"

[woocha]

No! No, I'm a wizard not a witch! Well, technically, cause this is a magic school, but I'm a dog! Note that Wishbone's still barking at Jenks.

[pixie_jenks]

"Yeah, I can see you're a dog," he muttered. Jenks looked around for a place to land, wondering if that would get the weird talking dog to stop barking at him. Finally, he landed on the edge of the plaque and stood looking down at the excited dog.

"Better?"

Jenks probably did smell elf, but what approached him instead was... not an elf.

Amaranth, fresh from another exciting tryst in the Forbidden Forest with the centaurs, was walking back toward Hufflepuff, humming to herself, when she caught movement from the popcorn room.

Having had good luck there lately, the nymph turned on her heel and approached.

"Ooh, a pixie!" she squealed. "Aren't you just the cutest thing ever!"

Thankfully for everyone, the centaurs had been more than satisfying in the random sex0rz department, so the audience (not to mention the muns) need not concern themselves with how exactly pixie sex would work.

[pixie_jenks]

Jenks whirled around at the squeal, ready to dodge anyone who tried to catch him. He was startled to see a naked woman approaching, cooing over how cute he was.

"Whoa! When did the school go with a clothing-optional rule?"

Sure, he was a happily married pixie with 54 children, but he wasn't dead. "Call me Jenks, good lookin'."

He hovered a bit closer, scenting the air again. Nope, not an elf either.

[nerdsexgoddess]

Amaranth smiled. "Nice to meet you, Jenks," she said."I'm Amaranth. And, you know, I have to say, you're taking the whole... coming back covered in butter and salt better than most. Do you remember your time here?"

[pixie_jenks]

He shrugged, "Believe me toots, I've been working with IS for a few years now and I've seen a lot of strange things. After awhile, you just gotta take it in stride."

Jenks frowned and rubbed his forehead. "Not much," he admitted. "And I don't think I was hit with any potion.. it's just gone all fuzzy."

[serrulata]

It was the sound that brought Kurama towards the sorting room - like the wingbeats of a very large bug, the noise made the fur on his ears itch. He paused in the hallway, looking about until he caught sight of just what was making the noise.

"Are you... no, you can't be a Yosei." He looked at Jenks with a mixture of bemusement and confusion. "What are you?"

[pixie_jenks]

Jenks paused and hovered near Kurama, regarding him curiously. He didn't smell like a were, but he didn't smell entirely human either.

" ' fraid I don't know what a Yosei is. I'm a pixie," he declared proudly. "And I guess I was one of those," he remarked, indicating the large kernels of popcorn. "Call me Jenks."

[pixie_jenks]

Jenks immediately perked up. "Herbs? You have a garden?" Pixies loved gardens, and made their homes there while attending to the plants and keeping them healthy. "I'd love to see it, we pixies are great with plants," he said proudly. "And we're great for keeping faries away."

He wondered if the professor was going to stick out a hand or give him some place to land. "Good to meet ya. Yeah, it's an improvement over.. whatever happened. I don't remember much. I know what this place is, but Turn take it if I remember what I was doing here."

Demyx's eyes widened as he saw someone he recognized fly out of the Popcorn Room. "Oh, no... not you."

[pixie_jenks]

Great. He had no idea who this person was. Hopefully he didn't pix them..

"Um, yeah. It's me," he said. "And you are..?"

[soggynotecards]

He had, but Jenks had thought it was justified at the time. After all, there was an insult involved that was a lot more serious to the pixie than it was to him. Probably better not to bring it up.

"Demyx. Never mind, now that I get a look at you I think I mistook you for someone else."

[pixie_jenks]

He wasn't telling the entire truth, but since Jenks couldn't remember, he decided not to press the issue.

"Sooo, you get a lot of pixies coming through here?"
