Breakfast in the Great Hall

[shnpc]

[Oh no! There's been a mishap caused by Peeves. The Poltergeist planted some magical eggs in the kitchen and the House Elves, not knowing any better, used them to prepare breakfast! So be careful what you eat, your pancakes might cause a random magical effect at the breakfast table!]

[toocoolforthis]

[Egg hunting has been frustrating, to say the least. Dirk's ready to be done with this whole egg hunt thing, after all the shenanigans the eggs have caused.

It's why he's being vindictive by eating scrambled eggs this morning.

His breakfast choice doesn't turn out to be the best plan, because his hair has apparently been turned into a rainbow over the course of the meal. He must not have noticed yet, either, since he isn't reacting at all.]

[seeringlight]

And here I thought I just happen to come upon a rather large egg.

I didn't realize how into this you were, my dear brother. It's refreshing to see someone so vibrant as you. You are a breathing and living example of what happens after a rainy day. [Rose is nothing but damned amuse about this.]

[toocoolforthis]

I'm so glad to see you too, Rose.

[Said in a deadpan.] Now please, explain what the fuck brought this on. You're never this happy to see me.

[seeringlight]

I am always glad to see you. My days would be meaningless without your presence. What are you talking about?

[She hands him the compact mirror she keeps in her bag.] Perhaps you should witness it for yourself.

[toocoolforthis]

"Vibrant." I believe my assessment is justified.

[He takes the mirror, barely glancing at it at first- then he does a double take.]

Fucking dicks.

[seeringlight]

Should I refer to you as more doom and gloom? Unfortunately, I have already situated that spot in specific, so you can't really claim it.

[She let's out a chuckle.] I think it fits you.

[toocoolforthis]

[Time to ignore the argument over adjectives in favor of staring at his hair a bit more.]

Even if it does, I would have rather enjoyed getting a say in the matter.

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Bro is in a similar position, to be perfectly honest. This egg thing has been more of a chore than anything. When you have a partner who likes to sneak off to find eggs on his own and/or get drunk, it gets old fast.

He's striding into the great hall looking tired and irritable, but stops when he sees Rainbow Dash-

Oh it's just Dirk.

Bro steps over to him.]

I know you like MLP, but I think you're bordering on obsessed now, man.

[toocoolforthis]

[Dirk just gives Bro a blank look. It doesn't help that the fringe of his hair is light enough to look its normal color when seen through his shades.

So he has no idea what Bro's talking about. Seriously, he left his Rainbow Dash figurine all the way back in his room! Can't risk it getting damaged at the breakfast table, after all.]

Obsessed how?

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Oh, Dirk. Dear, sweet, naive Dirk. You should know to be on guard when Bro acts like this. He just splits into a devious little grin.]

Well it's either obsession over Rainbow Dash, or you decided to become a walking pride flag. Both of which I can get behind.

[He isn't going to give any indication on what he's talking about. You'll have to figure it out yourself.]

[toocoolforthis]

If this is you trolling, you might want to put in some actual effort.

[He does glance down at his robes and tie, but they're normal- black, and Slytherin colors. He's really unimpressed right now.]

[plushaeusrumpified]

[Bro holds up his hands, shaking his head.]

Fine, fine. Don't believe me.

[He's just going to be a butt and reach over and take a handful of Dirk's scrambled eggs and shove them in his mouth. It hasn't occurred to him that these might be the cause of Dirk's little problem.

And speaking of little problems, when he's swallowed the eggs, Dirk has a little problem, because he's suddenly staring at a Bro who is nothing more than about four or five inches tall.]

Wh- holy shit! Son of a bitch, DIRK! What the fuck did you do to these eggs, you bastard!

[toocoolforthis]

[wow, RUDE.

Dirk doesn't even get a chance to stop Bro from grabbing a handful, and he means to elbow him, but that doesn't happen, because Bro's side is no longer where it was.]

Fucksticks.

[Okay, first things first- time to grab Bro and move him away from places where people will step on him. Which means setting him on the table.]

I didn't do anything to them, why the hell would I tamper with my own food?

[Then he pauses as the implications sink in.]

Shit, which stupid effect do I have?

[strideallknight]

[What's that? It's a bird, it's a pla--

No, it actually is a bird. A very flamboyant bird to match Dirk's flamboyant hair. The only difference is that this bird has bright red eyes.

He's also covered in Dirk's breakfast after crashing gracelessly into it. Dave shakes himself, sending food flying from his feathers, and looks both annoyed and unimpressed.]

[toocoolforthis]

[That was unexpected. It's a good thing none of the food got on Dirk, or he wouldn't have waited long enough to figure out that this was his brother.

As it is, this isn't any bird he's seen around the school before, it doesn't have a letter tied to its leg, and he's not expecting mail anyway, so it's probably an egg like the one that affected John.]

... So who're you?

[strideallknight]

[Rude, Dirk. He'd have made sure to get his revenge if that had happened.

Dave gives him a look. Dude. He's got nothing to "write" with and, sadly, this is not a bird that can talk. Otherwise he would have more fun with it.]

[toocoolforthis]

[It's good for everyone involved that it didn't happen.

The look isn't a very informative answer, but considering all the red on this bird, and the eyes, he can take an educated guess.]

Dave?

[strideallknight]

[He trills and nods his head.]

[toocoolforthis]

[After John got turned into a cat during their egg hunt, Dirk can recognize which egg effect this is, but he doesn't connect it to his breakfast so easily.]

What the hell are you doing looking for eggs right now?

[streetsmarts]

[Nick is so goddamn sick of eggs, he's taking a pass on them in favour of plain toast and juice. Fuck eggs, seriously.

He's taking a big gulp of juice as he glances up at Dirk and he's lucky enough to taste it again as he chokes on it, struggling not to laugh as he tries to catch his breath. There's a short moment of hacking and table slamming before he can just start pointing and laughing at Dirk.]

HA! Lookin' good, Strider.

[toocoolforthis]

Smooth moves there, Giovanni. You always this competent and coherent in the mornings?

[He has no idea what Nick is laughing about.]

[streetsmarts]

[He lets out a few more struggled coughs before taking another swig of juice. He calms himself...before he gets another look at Dirk's hair.]

Nice hair. You do it yourself?

[toocoolforthis]

Considering it's the same as always? Yes.

[The fact that he's refusing to check it is mostly out of pride, at the moment. Did it get messed up somehow? Did Nick put something in it without him noticing, as a prank?]

[streetsmarts]

The same as always, huh? Guess I just got over being colour blind, then. Cause it looks like a damn rainbow just barfed all over that duck butt you call hair, buddy.
