Secrets Board Four

Jul 01, 2006 00:21

There is a noticeboard up outside the Great Hall and one by one, images are appearing pinned to the corkboard, with students tacking up thoughts on the images on index cards. Nobody can ever catch anyone posting an image, only the comments, and there is no way to use magic or science to know who posted what.

( OOC: what is this thing and what are the rules? )

That explains Garfield.

Repressed. I use an alternative method to Wolfsbane. Chanting, meditating, bringing the wolf into myself, stuff like that.

There's also lots of tea.

Garfield? The comics cat? I thought it was just Muggle humour.

My mate's a werewolf, and he's rather repressed. He also likes tea. Is this something just anybody - well, any werewolf - can do? It sounds too good to be true.

Re: Screened for the werewolf and the anonymouse ringoate_mybaby July 2 2006, 08:56:15 UTC

You thought it was a form of humor?

It is. A side-effect is that I can transform during the days surrounding the full moon, if I lose my temper. But I think it's something anyone can do, yeah. Being naturally low-key helps.

Re: Screened for the werewolf and the anonymouse anonymous July 2 2006, 08:59:10 UTC

One man's bad joke is another man's kneeslapper. But I didn't find it funny myself, no.

My mate rarely loses his temper, so I can't imagine the side effect would be a big problem for him. I wonder if he might be interested in trying your method. I hear Wolfsbane potion tastes terrible. But it's up to him, of course. I just don't want him to hurt himself.

Re: Screened for the werewolf and the anonymouse ringoate_mybaby July 2 2006, 09:10:08 UTC

I like them better when they are like this.

I already told all the werewolves on campus about it; the ones that I know of. But I'd help if I'm wanted.

I haven't tried Wolfsbane.

Re: Screened for the werewolf and the anonymouse toujours_sirius July 2 2006, 15:35:50 UTC

Those comics aren't funny either, although it's nice not to have to read all the asinine rubbish about Garfield's eating disorder. Was that the effect you were going for?

Ah, if you've already talked to all the werewolves, then I'm sure he knows.

I don't think he'd recommend Wolfsbane, at least not on taste alone. Haven't tried it myself, of course, but it seems like pretty foul stuff. Tea is much better.

I hope this is not too forward (and I've revealed my identity to you for this purpose), but if the wolf ever comes out - you know, in you, like by accident - and you'd like some animal company to help tame it, run around with, have a bit of fun, I'm glad to help. I'm an Animagus, a dog, and you and I met before, at the evil clown hunt. My mate, the one who's a werewolf, he and I and another mate used to do that years ago, and it really helped. It was actually a lot of fun.

Now that you know who I am, can I ask you to keep my earlier remarks about the joys of fast food private? It's kind of embarrassing.

Re: Screened for the werewolf and the anonymouse ringoate_mybaby July 2 2006, 19:06:25 UTC

Yeah, that's fair.

Thank you for the offer, but if it does come out, I'd rather you just hit me with a tranq or a sleeping charm, or get Ryuuji to take care of it. I'm not the same kind of werewolf as Lupin or Grant, and besides, my last bout of cheerful romping didn't end too well.

I'll try, but I can be a chatterbox. Might get on a roll.

Re: Screened for the werewolf and the anonymouse toujours_sirius July 2 2006, 19:53:39 UTC

If you'd prefer a Sleeping Charm, I'd be glad to help you there, even though it would be much more fun to run around in the Forbidden Forest. Just owl me.

I didn't realise there was more than one kind of werewolf. That's not what I learned in Defence of the Dark Arts class. Then again, it was the Ministry of Magic that set the content for the course, so I shouldn't be surprised. Arseholes and wankers, the lot of them. Bloody incompetent.

Well, your best effort would be greatly appreciated, especially now that the Burger King has arrived.

Re: Screened for the werewolf and the anonymouse ringoate_mybaby July 2 2006, 19:56:39 UTC

Hard to do in that situation.

I'm from America, so maybe that's it? Not that it's my thing to stand in the way of a good rant against incompetent bureaucracy.

Done.

Re: Screened for the werewolf and the anonymouse toujours_sirius July 2 2006, 20:05:51 UTC

Good point. Got a better suggestion?

America does seem to have quite an incompetent bureaucracy of its own. I lived there for a year, you know. Wasn't particularly impressed, except with the fast food. So an American werewolf in Scotland, then? I know, bad joke.

Re: Screened for the werewolf and the anonymouse ringoate_mybaby July 2 2006, 20:10:54 UTC

Not get into the mess to begin with.

No, I meant maybe I'm an American species of werewolf?

I like bad jokes. They're comforting

Re: Screened for the werewolf and the anonymouse toujours_sirius July 2 2006, 20:14:21 UTC

Well, if there's anything I can do to help with that, then...

I know, I got it. Still, you think the Ministry would have taught us that. Scratch that. Of course they wouldn't. Fucking xenophobic bastards, the lot of them.

If I think of any more, I'll make sure to pass them on.

Re: Screened for the werewolf and the anonymouse ringoate_mybaby July 2 2006, 23:58:51 UTC

I'm handling it ok on my own, but thanks. Some more bad jokes might help, though.

Eddie narrows his eyes.

Re: 73491 anonymous July 1 2006, 21:43:41 UTC

Have you hunted evil clowns before? Did you drink Evil Clown Repellent beforehand?
