Stop and smell the grass

WHO: Kurloz Makara
TONE: somewhat macabre
RATING: PG-13
WHEN: 13 October, early evening
WHERE: Library
WHAT: Kurloz is taking advantage of Hogwarts' massive library and delving into the medical biology section. (btw he's not wearing his makeup, just his eyeliner)
STATUS: ONGOING

Kurloz had decided to spend the majority of his Saturday sketching. Not completely unusual, and some of the sketches had even been lighthearted ones of the outdoor scenery. He'd even bothered to collect one of the autumn leaves and draw it out in exquisite detail, but then he'd gotten lost in the veins of the plant. Veins had led to thoughts of blood, and blood had led to here, the library, in the shadowy section on biology. He hadn't bothered with the general Healing tomes - he'd gone straight for the titles regarding the transformation and distortion of anatomy through spellwork, staring fascinated at the images depicting various gruesome twisted creatures and failed experiments.

He sat at one of the desks, several of the books piled at his arm as he scanned through one in front of him, eyes fixated on the detailed water-coloured painting of two wizards that had been merged to share one spine, both of their faces in agony as the writer noted that the subjects had not lasted long under the pain.

people can do some pretty fucking stupid or twisted shit with these spells, bro. guess it's just one way to try to keep the stupidity levels down.

[preanimator]

But it doesn't, really. All it does is keep it out of the hands of people who can't find some way around the restrictions. And the kind of people that would use it for ends that are more focused on personal gain aren't going to care much about rules, are they?

[innocent_insanity]

[Shrugs because some of that legislation mumbo-jumbo almost always flies over his head.]

it's complicated as fuck all. maybe when we get a new grand poobah for the ministry things'll change.

[preanimator]

It won't, things never do. [bitterly]

[innocent_insanity]

never say never, bro. it might just come to bite you on the fucking rear. :o)

[preanimator]

I doubt my saying that is going to have any effect on my life in the future, one way or the other. [dryly]

[innocent_insanity]

[Smiles and shrugs.]

you got a knack for scrying bro? if you don't, leave the future to the motherfucking future. it don't make a lick of sense to speak for it before it's time.

[preanimator]

You were the one that brought it up first. [irritably]

[innocent_insanity]

didn't mean no disrespect by it, bro.

[Grins, shrugging again and standing.]

you'll get the telling on more of this shit for me some other time yeah? only a fucker's got homework he should be getting onto tonight... [Looks a bit regretful at that.]

[preanimator]

Oh. Yes ... fine. [Herbert's pretty sure Kurloz will forget, or will think better of talking to him again.]

[innocent_insanity]

[Beams.]

is it cool if I sit with you at breakfast then? you can get all that explaining on before classes.

[preanimator]

All right? [Looks a little uncertain, and adjusts his glasses to try and cover.] If you haven't got anything better to do.

[innocent_insanity]

sweet. see you tomorrow then, my wicked cool brainy bro!

[Puts the notebook away and gives a sloppy salute to Herbert, grinning happily before leaving the library.]
