Open RP in the school grounds

It was a nice morning. Gogo swung her manriki with a complicated underarm twist at an invisible opponent, smiling. She'd been neglecting her practice, lately, which was silly; she had to be on top form for when she found Black Mamba, and that could be any time. From now on it was an hour a morning at least. Just like old times

Granny was Borrowing. It'd been far too long since she'd done it, especially with bees. Which is what she was doing when she saw that Gogo child swinging around a bloody ball and chain.

Perhaps just a closer look would be in order.

No need to scare the girl by a sudden onslaught of bees, though. So, quickly and efficiently (as if bees could work any other way), countless bees gathered together to form a pitch perfect replica of Granny Weatherwax.

Gogo had been feeling fairly serene. A nice morning and a decent training session and fresh Scottish water --

And this.

Gogo scrambled to her feet, swearing loudly in Japanese. She went into attack mode almost automatically, swiping the manriki from her midriff at the -- bizarre bee monster thing's chest.

Well, she'd like to have been able to say this was a surprise, but the girl was far too reactionary for her own good. Most people would try to find out what was going on first. On the other hand, Granny'd never put much truck in being like "most people" as most people were far too much like people for their own good, if you asked her.

But still.

The bees parted swiftly, the manriki flying through harmlessly. Then something odd happened; briefly the bees lost coordination, as if no longer interested in being a shape. That was when the voice echoed in Gogo's head.

Really now, was that called for?

And then the bees were back into form.

Gogo blinked. The double surprise of the -- bee monster thing breaking up like that (which she should have expected, really) and the voice inside her head made her pause. Well, sort of. The manriki was still swinging, but she hadn't thrown it yet, which counted as a pause to Gogo.

"I -- Mistress Weatherwax? Are you making bees attack me?"

The teenager is returning from his downtime at Hogsmeade, still wearing muggle clothes, stomper boots and pants and the magicked t-shirt with a changing panel (it currently shows a large smile-face). His arms are laden with bags and packages as he passes by, heading for the main gate.

Gogo sighs and rubs her head, good mood evaporated. She sees Dib and begins to wave, assuming for a split-second that it's Nny - which, of course, it isn't. She cocks her head and stares.

"Who are you?"

[dib_worm]

"I'm Dib."

He watches the Japanese girl tilt her head and blinks in confusion. "Uhm, is... something wrong?" The resemblance really is quite uncanny, except for the hair...

[manriki_chan]

"Oh - not really. You just look like a friend of mine. I'm Gogo." She frowns at the boy's name, certain she recognises it from somewhere - but she's sure they've not met.
