Thirty-Fourth Hex [Voice/Action]

[Draco Malfoy was starting to go a bit stir-crazy. After four straight days of snow, then cold, then more snow, and more cold, he had realized that staying in the confines of House 25 wasn't doing him any good. Hence today he's decided to head to the Battle Dome and test his programming skills. He's gotten pretty good at it, he likes to think.

When his journal clicks on, anyone viewing it will get a good glance of the front of a large manor.]

So...you really can recreate anything, can't you. [He's going to go ahead and walk down the path toward the front door of the house, and as he enters into the front hall he's going to continue talking to the village at large. This may just be a test to see if he can continue communication inside a simulation.]

How are the rest of you coping with the snow we've received over the last few days? I'd like a few back-up plans in case this doesn't serve to satisfy. At least when it was warm I could fly a bit, but this is starting to get ridiculous.

[And he's going to turn down the halls, wandering through the maze that is the manor with the ease of someone so familiar with the area. There are the sounds of other footsteps behind him, but if he hears them he doesn't seem to care.]

What's next, anyway? They've left us alone for a while...may as well start to prepare for something big to come. What are the chances they've grown bored with us? New Feathers. You might be the next targets. You ought to have a fair warning.

[His attention's drawn away from the journal then as the footsteps stop, and he finds himself facing a masked figure.] I was wondering when you'd turn up. [And he's withdrawing his wand, closing the journal. Though the picture's no longer available, the last thing heard is the sound of a spell firing off and ricocheting around the room.

[Though he'll stay in the chamber for the full allotted hour, he will be taking a break between enemies appearing and after his hour's up to answer anyone who's contacted him via journals. People are also free to find him in the main lobby of the Battle Dome as well after his simulation's over.]

I suppose that means I will not have to concern myself with autopsies and the reports involved. Good. [The dead do not stay dead? That is...disconcerting on several levels. Adele makes a note to read up on teh subject more in the future.]

They stay dead for a week, and then they come back missing important factors. Reports may still benefit, actually.

Especially since I am not all that familiar with the inner workings of the more...fantastical denizens of this place.

And how long have you been here?

Less than a month, more that three weeks now, I suppose. The days blend together after awhile.

And the next important question is have you read the guide?

I have. It was as informative as it was infuriating, though that is no fault of the author's.

Professor Sage is one of the few residents that has been here since nearly the beginning. If anyone has knowledge of this place, it's her. Her or that Silverberg person. [He means Albert, but he can't be arsed to remember the first name.]

...perhaps she can offer more insight to the physical aspects of the wings. failing that I will find this..Silverberg?

Ask Professor Sage about Silverberg. There are two of them, if I recall, but only one of them has been around as long as she has. What else could you possibly need to know about the wings?

I'll have to remember that.

Why the nerve connections seem so arbitrary and yet any action against them is so intense, their construction, ways to mend, etc. Surgeon's questions. I cannot repair what I do not understand.

They repair on their own. Why would you need to repair them yourself?

Forgive me if I do not trust the organization's surgeons or intent. Even should they heal on their own with no assistance, who is to say they heal correctly? Have you ever seen a limb that was set and mended improperly? Rebreaking a leg to mend it is painful. Rebreaking a wing would be agonizing. I wish to prevent this if at all possible.

I think you underestimate the things I've seen. [Never mind the fact that Draco's a dirty cheater; being a wizard and having a vampire girlfriend whose blood heals you up almost immediately isn't exactly a normal circumstance.] Have you spoke with the other doctors that reside here?

No doubt I have.

...

I'm afraid not. I cannot seem to be able to catch them when they'd be available. At least not yet. Perhaps tonight will be different.

You've visited the clinics and everything?

I've sopped by between destroying a possessed sofa and moving in with Ginia. Though I may have to work harder at finding...I think Law is the head of the clinic, yes? I will have to try harder to catch him.

He may be. Law I believe mans the clinic out here at the battle dome, though he might go back and forth.

...I didn't realize you were a housemate of hers.

I will have to visit the Dome then, since I've had so little luck catching him at this clinic.

...

It's a very recent development. The blame falls on the aforementioned possessed furniture. Once I was rid of it, she invited me to stay with her. It is a kindness I've yet to repay.

I can tell you this; he doesn't seem to be here today. Not that I've seen, anyway.

Possessed furniture. [Sure lady, whatever you say.] She tends to do that. Extend kindness, I mean. That's just who she is.

Then I shall check the clinic on this end.

[Adele snorts and shakes her head.] I have video clips of the event if you doubt it. Helios himself assured me that it was possessed and/or cursed.

All the better for her to be so well thought of in the village. Her presence here is to our benefit.

Good luck with that. [That's not the part he's really concerned with, anyway.]

I don't care much, to be honest. Though I do trust Helios' judgment a bit more than most people. [If only because Helios knows magic. Magic users have to stick together. Or something.]

She hasn't been here for that long either, if you can believe that. Not even a full year.

First impressions aside- [Adele still cannot help but shudder at the memory.] I would have to agree.

Truly? She seems so...integrated with the populace. I can honestly say I don't think I would be able to envision this place without her.

She's good at adapting. That's just what she does. There's a handful of people in this village that need to be here in order for the place to function.

And when they are gone...chaos. Perhaps that is what we need fear most.
