fortieth

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

[there's a small sound of contentment, the sounds of stretching, and a little thud as Albus throws down his quill, and picks up the journal to dictate]

If there is a line, I think I crossed it quite a while ago. I feel like I haven't spoken to my friends in ages! [can you hear the smile, and slight guilt in his voice?] Purely my fault, I'm afraid; I was caught up in work in my room, then busy with our findings beyond the borders, only to come back and find myself with a roommate, (thank you again, Ken, for accommodating me) and then to throw myself back into work again.

[there's some whining, and whuffy sounds. Albus laughs]

Oh, yes, it's partially your fault too, Dro, but I don't blame you a whit for it. You needed the attention. I'm just glad you're feeling a bit better now, after some time outside and some rest. Isn't that right?

[there's a pause, and a soft growl, which Albus is going to take for a yes 8D he ruffles Dro's mane]

We'll go get you a good dinner in a bit.

[directs himself fully at the journal once again. warmly:]

Now, as for you folks. How are you all doing?

[is in like. a random good mood. 8D even ... more so than usual. talk to him or something]

I was wondering if you had gotten yourself stuck in a closet again.

/seeeeees what you did there

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Thank heavens, no. Even if I did have stacks of books to keep me occupied again, I'd hate to miss the last of the warmth.

closets are bad albus :x

[bluespells.livejournal.com]

Good to hear.

If you want to get out of your room, we're playing a game in the maze tonight.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Ah, I've put myself to the task of formulating a new, working spell everyday. And I have my daily research to take care of, of course.

What have you been up to?

[DX]

[kindnessing.livejournal.com]

Eh? Um, of course! You were definitely a good roommate. I'm just glad you didn't mind my company.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Of course I didn't. We got along swimmingly.

[kindnessing.livejournal.com]

[tap, tap, tap...] I'd like to see more magic, someday. If you don't mind, of course.

[ruin-mania.livejournal.com]

Well, it does happen, you know. Though I can see you were fortunate in roommates - I stayed with some delightful children myself, Edmund and Lucy from across the hall.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Perhaps a bit too often on my part. I might have missed Halloween, and not noticed.

I certainly was. I can't say I've had the fortune of meeting an Edmund or a Lucy, though.

[ruin-mania.livejournal.com]

With what others have said about the probability of something dire happening? I somehow doubt it would have been that bad, Albus.

Oh, they were simply a delight to be around. Very well-behaved, even if one of them is a teen-aged boy. [She's maybe teasing you, Mr. Teenager.]

[videres.livejournal.com]

You sound well.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Ah, I do... I feel like I've been bludgeoned with the corporeal equivalent of good cheer. Just one of those days, I suppose.

How are you settling in, Lady Morgana?

[videres.livejournal.com]

Quite well actually, it helps that there are a few whom I know from Camelot here.

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

Ah, work?

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Well, I call it work, but it's very enjoyable to me. It's mostly research, and the development of new spells.

[thirteenth.livejournal.com]

Oh, you must be another wizard?

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

Oh look, you're not dead.

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

The immense relief and happiness in your voice is like a buoy to me.

[onlyanapple.livejournal.com]

It just goes to show how much I care, Albus. We should hug.

[time-lady-fred.livejournal.com]

Beyond the borders? I'm afraid I haven't explored much beyond the castle itself; I've only just arrived. Would you mind filling me in on your findings?

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Certainly! It would be no trouble at all.

Ten minutes away from the castle is the town, City Royale. You've probably glimpsed it once or twice; it's fairly large, though without many tall buildings.

Beyond that are the farmlands, and if you travel for some time, you will meet the forest, which is quite large. Beyond that, the mountains, on the other side of which lies a large, grassy plain. There are several sites of interest out here, like the a crumbling tower, a lake with a little Pier, and the Pillar Fields, the main point of this latest excursion.

I haven't been much further beyond that point, but it does extend, even to the ocean. Powers, however, start disappearing, a little beyond the Pillar Fields, I think.

Sir...do you have a dog?

[lifeandliesof.livejournal.com]

Of a sorts, yes. He has both canine and feline characteristics. Were you here for the pokemon week?
