Winter

[ever_yanagi]

In this sort of chilly weather, there is nothing better to pass the time with than sitting at the common room's kotatsu with a cup of tea and some tangerines, while watching the new students attempt to untangle themselves from various House furnishings. I suppose one full term is insufficient to learn that the decor tends to be a bit temperamental.

Maybe we have taught it bad ideas, Yanagi

[ever_yanagi]

I think, rather, that there is much to be learnt from them.

[accioswallow]

Then, I shall study them more closely. I would hate to be out done by a sofa.

[ever_yanagi]

Perhaps you would like to join me, then.

[accioswallow]

You're asking me to be eaten by a chair with you? Perhaps we were put together as room-mates for a reason.

[ever_yanagi]

I am asking you to join me in drinking tea and eating tangerines while watching new students attempt to escape the clutches of the furniture.

[accioswallow]

In which case, I would be delighted.

[notanlines]

Sort of chilly? That's the understatement of the year.

[ever_yanagi]

I meant that it was that kind of chilly weather.

[notanlines]

I hope so, because I'm really starting to question how so many people can be so unaffected by all this.

[ever_yanagi]

Well, it is my sixth year here.

[notanlines]

That makes you an honorary Eskimo.

.....although, I admit, it could be worse.

[chinmoku]

How do you peel a tangerine without getting your hands sticky.

[masaharu]

Magic. Duh.

[chinmoku]

But I might not have a tangerine left after I've magicked one.

[masaharu]

Yikes. You need to work on that.

[worldofice]

Your questions get ever more ridiculous.

[ooc: I love that was what Hiyo took away from Yanagi's post XD]

[chinmoku]

Peeling fruit without leaking juice is an essential life skill.


[ooc: It was an extremely pressing question.]

[worldofice]

That should have been mastered before now. Do not practice near my bed covered.

[chinmoku]

I will try, but juice can squirt pretty far...

[worldofice]

It cannot pass through walls. You will squit outside.

[chinmoku]

What if it freezes outside and the frozen juice shard penetrates the dorm room window?

[worldofice]

Should it be that cold, you will doubtless freeze first.

[chinmoku]

While the adult male human body is 60% water, the liquid is thankfully internal.

[worldofice]

Then there is nothing to fear. Outside you run.

[chinmoku]

It's cold outside. The point of the tangerine is to stay under house arrest.

[worldofice]

It also provides you with vitamin C.

[chinmoku]

So do supplementary pills.

[ever_yanagi]

With the application of a little creativity.

[chinmoku]

Elaboration would be much appreciated.

[ever_yanagi]

As strange as it might seem, one can modify a wandless flaying spell to peel tangerines.

[chinmoku]

I admit I don't know my flaying spells as well as one should. Perhaps this is something I should practice.

[ever_yanagi]

I don't mind teaching you the modified spell, if you like.

[chinmoku]

Well, who am I to pass up tools of destruction such knowledge?

[ever_yanagi]

I am glad to see such a thirst for learning.

[ooc: Sadly, Yanagi's version only works on produce. May peel off clothing if used on people ;x]

[chinmoku]

We are but students, are we not?

[ooc: Watch out in the hallways or coats might go flying off...]

[ever_yanagi]

Indeed we are.

[ooc: At least Kuebiko is already hairless...]

[masaharu]

The furniture just wants someone to cuddle for warmth. Don't be so hard on it.

[ever_yanagi]

It has plenty of first-years to hug.

[tarundoru]

I think you spend far too much time in your common room if you're starting to derive entertainment from animated furniture.

[ever_yanagi]

They are quite interesting, for furniture.

Besides, it is too cold to be outside.

[tarundoru]

Hn.

It's excellent flying weather.

[ever_yanagi]

Too cold for the common man, Genichirou. You, however, have the constitution of an ox.

[tarundoru]

I would argue that none of us are common, Renji, but I thank you for the compliment.
