At first, Naminé hesitated when she saw the Colosseum - too many bad memories, so much she didn't want to remember happening at all, even though she knew she shouldn't run from it, no matter how dark... but when she heard Sirius's voice, she decided to make her way over. Besides, it didn't sound like anything dangerous was going on, so surely it would be okay.

Ignoring the chills that went down her spine just by simply being near the building at all, she continued her way inside until she saw Sirius. And the chocolate. Her eyes went very, very wide.

"Wow...! Where did you find so much chocolate in one place?"

[seriousmarauder]

Sirius offered her a smile, glad to see that she was alive and well. "I didn't, actually! I created it. See, there's a spell that makes things swell up, including food. And another one to reduce the size. So if nobody finishes it, I can just shrink it back to normal, and not have to worry about what I'm going to do with all this extra chocolate," he explained, feeling rather proud of the idea.

[breathenothing]

She smiled as well, still staring at the chocolate, obviously impressed. "I see! Having magic must be very useful. Isn't it?"

She studied it a little longer, then looked up at him. "So, is it really safe to eat?"

[seriousmarauder]

"'Course it is," Sirius agreed, nodding. "Wasn't able to use it for a long time since they snapped my wand, but now I can do things without one for some reason. I've got no idea why, but I'm not complaining."

He broke off a piece of the chocolate for her. "Completely safe. The proportions might be a bit off, mind you, but it still ought to taste alright."

Christine likes talking to anyone she comes across, especially those more knowledgeable about the Plane than herself. Today finds her at the Coliseum, which she hasn't visited before. She sees the chocolate increase and steps forward slowly with wide eyes. "How did you do that?" She wants to ask outright if he's something other than human, but she thinks that might be rude.

[seriousmarauder]

"Magic, of course," Sirius replies, and it's clear he isn't joking. "Care for a piece? It's perfectly harmless, promise." He eyes her curiously, trying to remember if they've met before, but he can't place her. She's pretty, though, which is always a plus in his book.

"Sirius Black, by the way, I don't think we've met," he adds, offering her a hand to shake.

[rightawaydoctor]

As a nurse, Christine looks for a scientific reason for everything. What's more, everything should have a logical explanation. Magic isn't logical, and her first instinct is to laugh, but she keeps it in, reminding herself that there are people from different worlds and universes, and on or in theirs, maybe magic is the norm.

"Magic." She looks at the chocolate, then to him. "Maybe later, thank you." Stepping closer, she extends her hand. "No, I don't believe we have. I'm Christine Chapel. Nice to meet you."

[seriousmarauder]

"The pleasure's all mine," Sirius replies, shaking her hand warmly. "And I could give you a demonstration if you don't believe me. It's why I'm here, after all," he explains, gesturing at the Coliseum. "So I can test my abilities."

[seriousmarauder]

Sirius shrugs. "I don't know about the quality, but the proportions are obviously a bit off. Engorgio isn't exactly the same as just scaling it up," he replies, gesturing at the chocolate. "It's more...swollen than enlarged. I can shrink it again, though."

[seriousmarauder]

"Nope, it's all the still the same stuff," Sirius replies, glancing at Jade curiously. "Does it really matter?" Whether or not he had basic "scientific" knowledge was debatable -- he'd been fond of Astronomy, but hadn't paid much attention at all in Potions. Not that either of them really followed the Muggle standards for scientific knowledge.

Buildings.

Buildings are... boring. Very much so.

But the Plane has some pretty interesting ones Box has only seen in pictures. He never thought he will be interested in drawing them, but since he is interested in animation lately, he's got interest in drawing backgrounds too, and that meant drawing buildings.

The Coliseum was the number one thing that held his interest in this matter. So Box has his sketchbook and a pen to capture the beauty for this building for the sake of his next doujinshi.

Only to see that there is already someone there and-- What is he doing putting food on the ground just like that?!

"Hey what--" Box starts, but then the chocolate starts to... move. No, grow?! "Eeeeeehhh!!" Box gasps out loud, and... well just points at the giant sweet as if wanting to say something, but he so can't...

[seriousmarauder]

Sirius laughs at Box's expression. "You alright? You look like you've never seen a gigantic bar of chocolate before," he teases, before walking over and breaking off a chunk, and tossing it at Box.

"Go on, have some. It won't bite back, promise."

[boxtheotaku]

"Wha- what, what are you doing--!" Box gasps. Gah, giant mutant chocolate incoming! A normal person would maybe catch that piece of chocolate, but not Box, he's actually stumbles away from it's way as if it would be some kind of bomb or anything. He even shields himself with his sketchbook. "You- you just made it like-- third of it's size, excuse me if I won't believe it won't bite!" he stutters staring at the piece at his feet... "Wow..."

[seriousmarauder]

Sirius takes pity on poor Box, shrinking the large piece of chocolate back to its original size with a "Reducio!" He picks it up, smiling. "See? It's just a normal piece of chocolate. Completely harmless."

Remus goes to find Sirius as soon as he leaves that horrid altar, secure in the knowledge that he at least didn't throw anyone else to the fire. He wouldn't have voted at all, but there are too many people in his own world who need him.

Sirius had mentioned practising in the Coliseum, so Remus heads there first. He arrives just in time to hear Sirius' jaunty offer, and it puts a smile on his face despite everything.

"I don't know, what else have you done with it?"

[seriousmarauder]

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Sirius asks, his lips curving upward into a playful smirk. He knows Remus has to take his mind off things (and so does he, but he's doing it by living in a state of denial), and he has every intention of providing the distraction he needs.

"I can think of lots of things to do with chocolate," he adds, eying his -- boyfriend? Lover? They never really got around to that talk... -- appreciatively. Honestly, Sirius didn't particularly care how they defined their relationship, as long as Remus was his. ...Or theirs, really.

[oncemarauder]

He feels himself flush, and it's a bit like being a schoolboy all over again. It's a nice feeling, after everything.

"I'm sure you can." His voice is wry, but there's a glint in his eyes as he comes closer. He's not entirely sure what they are, what they're doing, he and Sirius and Diva, but he's afraid that if he looks too hard it'll disappear.

"...How much have you done with chocolate, precisely?"

[seriousmarauder]

The truth, actually, is not that much, and Sirius looks a bit awkward for a moment. But he doesn't really want to admit that he isn't as experienced as he's claimed to be in the past. Never mind that Remus has probably been able to see right through him the whole time.

"If I told you, it would spoil the surprise of finding out for yourself, wouldn't it?" he responds lightly, drawing Remus closer still and looping an arm around his waist. The gesture is a casual one, offering comfort and support more than anything else.

"What do you think I should test next?" he asks thoughtfully, glancing at the pile of food. "It's been...what, six years since I've been able to do magic? Give or take? I barely know where to start."
