Heh heh. Nein, only Maxim is younger den me. He iz beeg enough to look after himself. Also Hy dun know vere he is.

[eighttimeshandy]

[Tormenting muggle parents is never a bad thing, in Eriq's opinion. He's rather fond of switch regular soap for Frog Spawn soap. They don't really appreciate it.]

[However, the main reason he's allowing himself to be seen in a joke shop is that his chess set has wandered off again. He can't figure out where they keep disappearing to. It is a mystery. And now that he has his replacement set, he really should leave]

[But nope, just going to hover awkwardly next to Georgia, pretending to be terribly interested in the tea cups while watching her out of the corner of his eyes.]

[Yep, those sure are some teacups]

[eighttimeshandy]

[two can play this game. And Eriq's really good at not blinking.]

[eighttimeshandy]

Oh, that's great. Very responsible of you. Your mother must be proud.

[syned_a_brik]

Heh heh. Yah, she seem fon ven ve is hafink our lessons.

[He hisses as he gets stuck yet again.]

[The employee looks rather taken aback.]

[syned_a_brik]

Hmm. Hy dun know about de bow. Find a bow und Hy tell hyu how it looks.

2/2

[syned_a_brik]

[ladyliberty]

Wow! What were you doing with a bear?

[syned_a_brik]

[Oggie shrugs.] He is beeg boy.

[syned_a_brik]

Me und my leedle cousin vas fightink dem! Hy vanted to stuff dem for Gerta und Phila, but a professor pointed out dat bears is comink on too strong, so ve chust ate dem.

[eighttimeshandy]

[Sob no, he was hoping to avoid this. Quick, what's someplace Oggie wouldn't enjoy going to?]

I'm going to Flourish and Blotts. I'm going to spend a lot of time there. You know, looking at books.

For fun.[Yeah, that should shake him]

[ladyliberty]

I dunno, I'd be pretty impressed if someone gave me a bear.

[syned_a_brik]

Dat's vot Hy tot too! But pipple kept sayink it vas bad idea.

Mebbe Hy gets dem bears later.

[syned_a_brik]

Hokay! Mebbe Hy find niz beeg book for hittink tinks.

[When the alternative is being alone again? Books really aren't that bad. Some of them have pretty covers, too.]

[eighttimeshandy]

[This is the most scandalized expression ever in the entire history of scandalized expressions] Ogniaaaaaaaan! You don't hit things with books! You read them! You treasure them! You gently stroke the bindings and inhale the sweet scent of fresh ink! Hitting them against things is just...

Well, it's just awful!

[ladyliberty]

Good idea. I definitely think they'll like it.

[syned_a_brik]

Iz hyu sure sniffink ink isn't bad for hyu?

[Yeah, that's all he's going to pay attention to. Big book = weapon, sorry Eriq.]

[eighttimeshandy]

Yes, I'm sure. [He rubs his eyes before moving to walk down the street] Let's just... get this over with.

[syned_a_brik]

[Oggie tags along happily, humming slightly.]

in the street

[syned_a_brik]

Does hyu vant eny help mit dose? [Hey, it's a 6th year Hufflepuff.]

[moirailcompass]

[Nepeta was looking at the Puffskeins. She had always thought them an odd pet--cute, definitely, but unfortunately most people didn't seem to think they had much 'personality'. That's probably why they were all stuff in the back corner of the shop.

So it wasn't especially hard to spot Dipper when he came into view. She pulled her eyes away from the glass cage and smiled at him, giving a wave]

You look a bit lost.

[moirailcompass]

[She lets out a small snort in a failed attempt to keep from laughing.]

He really will! [Probably not the best thing to say but she could not help it]

[mysterytwin]

[Was that a girlish scream that left him? Nope. Nope, it certainly wasn't. When he realizes it's just an older girl talking to him, Dipper gives a small sigh before raising a hand to scratch the back of his neck a bit sheepishly.]

Well, it's not me that lost. Mabel ran off as soon as we got here and I can't see her anywhere.

[moirailcompass]

[.......................snerk. She straightened up and gave him a cheeky smile]

Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. Who is Mabel?
