The Dripping Kettle

A small, rugged inn where wizards and witches (and students) with not much money to spare end up at when they pass by Colema. It has three floors- two for the itself, on the top, and one on the bottom for the restaurant and bar where the occupants eat, though it is open for the outside as well. The food they serve is of very average quality.

  1. [Bryn seems really grumpy :|

    Shiina cried in a hole and died.]

    The two girls walked into the inn, looking around for a place to sit. Shiina quickly pointed out an empty booth in the corner, and the two sat down across from each other.

  2. (She's... her usual self. I decided to make her suit her description more. She was getting soft. XD)

    Bryn sighed and ordered butterbeer for both of them in order to not seem suspicious and pressed her index and middle finger to her sinuses. "We should have been more careful," she muttered angrily. "Can't believe we were so careless."

  3. [Eep.]

    Shiina closed her eyes, leaning her chin on the table. "We had to have a plan," she said quietly. "But instead we just charged into the battlefield." The girl sighed, opening her red eyes. "But what do we do now? We don't know what they're planning to do next." Shiina picked up her glass of butterbeer and took a small sip. But the heart warming liquid did nothing to lift the student's spirit, and she closed her eyes once more.

  4. (Yerr)

    Bryn growled once more and took an angry swig of the butterbeer and sat back in her seat. "How did they know we were coming, though? It's not like they post sentries there and see when they could ambush us."

  5. Shiina looked at her friend. "Do you think there's one of them in the school? They could have been eavesdropping on us.... Like, you know, Gwen..." The girl's voice trailed off and she stared out the window at the bleak gray sky.

  6. Pollux burst into the inn, butterbeer flying all over the place onto the floor and everyone within a 2 meter radius of him (including his familiar Castor). He bounded up to the inn's manager and dragged him into the closet room.
    "Where's my special package?" he whispered.
    "I have it. Wait here."
    The manager soon came back with a bucket full of bottles of butterbeer, mead, and tons of firewhisky and an unknown green substance. Pollux giggled and stuff the whole basket into his right pocket. Meanwhile, Professor Corwyth found his way to the counter and asked for a glass of mead. He saw Shiina and Bryn secretly having a conversation. He raised his eyebrows a bit but turned back to his drink.

  7. Leon had been stalking Pollux and stood outside of the inn, hiding behind a section of wall. Kirino floated next to him. "Are you going to go in, Leon?" she asked, staring at her friend. Leon shrugged and continued to stand outside. He had a sudden urge to have a seizure, but he remained calm, his urge only showing through the frantic movements of his eyebrows, which were going up and down rapidly.

  8. Pollux needed to fart. He decided to show a bit of courtesy and backed out the main door and farted exactly where Leon was. He did not notice and went inside the inn once more. He saw Professor Corwyth sitting at the bar table drinking mead.
    "Sup, Professor."
    "Hey Pollux. How are you doing?"
    "Fine."
    Pollux had a seizure and started twitching madly, falling onto the floor, foaming at the mouth. He suddenly went back to normal. Professor Corwyth stared.
    "I'm afraid I have to go........"
    He went out the door.

  9. Leon stared at Professor Corwyth's retreating figure and spazzed into the inn. "POOOOOLLUXXXXXXX!" he called, taking a butterbeer out of his cloak and shoving the mouth of the bottle into his friend's mouth. He tipped it backwards. "Chug! Chug! Chug!" he called, drinking a bottle himself.

    [LOL I say that to JTTCOTE when he drinks Vitaminwater :D I wonder what Stormy will think of this...]

  10. (I think... CHUG! CHUG! CHUG! *forces mouth open and dumps entire bottle of virtual firewhisky into it*)

    Bryn spared the two slightly insane Penniluffs a glance, rolled her eyes, and turned back to Shiina, shaking her head. "What's wrong with them?" She muttered. "Anyway, I don't think that they have a student spy. My mother wouldn't have taken the risk of another betrayal. Krumiage couldn't have known, because he was teaching Herbology the entire time- I asked Taki."

    (You've got to make a profile for Taki, btw)

  11. [Too lazy DX I'll write a description later. And find a picture]

    Leon had taken a very weak mind reading potion. "She thinks we're insane!" he exclaimed, drinking another bottle of butterbeer. Just then, the potion wore off.

    Shiina nodded. "But there are others...." The seer's mind started thinking about the other professors in the school. "Definitely not Professor Smith," she said. "But the other professors..."

    ReplyDelete
  12. (LOL fail Leon XD)

    Bryn frowned. "Not Farwill. She was the one who gave us the prophecy, and she's a muggleborn. Mapps? He's half-blood. Yamamoto? Akai? Nah, he teaches Muggle Studies. Corwyth?" She named all the other professors.

  13. (I dunno how to comment... unless Amanda just walks in and sits next to Bryn, her Housemate, making it impossible for the two to talk with her there...)

  14. (You can XD I'd hate it if we couldn't let you RP just because me and Stormy are having a conversation... Or you could be in the Wyvernlor common room and have a conversation with Devin [I play him] or something...)

    ReplyDelete
  15. Shiina sighed. "Right now there are too many possible professors," she said. "Maybe we could watch them more closely over the next few days to see if any of them act suspicious? We could say we want to pay very close attention in class now so that we can pass our N.E.W.T exams."

    [Except they won't find out ANYTHING because the traitor is Krumiage and he doesn't teach any of their classes :|]

    ReplyDelete
  16. (Yeah XD *sigh* clueless heroines are clueless...)
    (Cel, comment wherever. I wouldn't want you to not comment... you're a blogger fwend, and there are too little people on this RP blog as it is. :D)

    Bryn frowned and nodded. "Alright. Well, it's all we can do, anyway. I'll get Dev to watch 'em as well... Damien should as well."

  17. Amanda walked into The Dripping Kettle and spotted Bryn Reedwing. She walked over to the table and her stomoch turned over when she saw Shiina.
    Amanda wasn't the type to judge, but somethingabout her sent a chill up her spine. "Hello." she said as she pulled out a chair and sat next to Bryn.
    "Amanda Farthing..." she said, holding her hand out to Shiina.

    (Okay.)

  18. Shiina looked up at the fifth year and nodded politely, ignoring the held out hand. "Shiina Natsumoto," she said quietly, staring straight into Amanda's eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Bryn frowned at Shiina. "Don't try to read her," she hissed out of the corner of her mouth to her friend, so that Amanda wouldn't hear. She gave Amanda a quick calculating look before nodding as well. "Hey. What're you doing here? I thought 5th years were supposed to be in class." Bryn waved a waiter over and got everyone a bottle of mead. "You're underage, but whatever. Nobody cares, anyway. The Penniluffs have been drinking since they were in the second year." She rolled her eyes.

    ReplyDelete
  20. "I don't drink." Amanda replied. "And we're on break." she told them.
    She tapped er fingers on the table. "So different compared to Golden Gate." she said, nochalauntly(?). "My parents hate England. I kinda miss Vera and Kay. Speaking of Vera you really remind me of her, Bryn."

    (We'll just say she's a transfer from GGWA. Makes it easier.)

    ReplyDelete
  21. (okay)

    Bryn raised an eyebrow. "Is that so? And who is this 'Vera' you are speaking of? She would not happen to be Veratis Delron, would she?" Her voice had a tinge of sardonic tone in them, because she knew the answer.

    ReplyDelete
  22. (OK.)

    Shiina remained silent, staring at Amanda with her piercing red eyes. "America, huh?" she muttered, realizing why the fifth year's accent had sounded a bit strange to her.

    ReplyDelete
  23. (We're in England, by the way, so we're pretty close to Hogwarts in Scotland. Most of the people at Lyreade are either Asian exchange students or from all around Europe. Though most people go to Hogwarts because of its fame, Lyreade is an equal school when it comes to academic and quidditch success)

    ReplyDelete
  24. (LOL... okay)

    "Yes, Veratis Delron. Why?" Amanda asked. She knew the answer though. Shiina's voice broke her thoughts. "America, huh?"
    Amanda blushed. "Yeah. Taxes were getting too high there so my 'rents moved to England." she admitted. "Pretty normalish idea of why they moved. My mum works at a restraunt and my dad works on broken computers."
    She went a bright shade of red when the two girls looked confused. "Er... muggle magic." she told them.

    (LOL.)

  25. [They all have laptops, by the way XD Just saying.]

    Shiina nodded. "I've seen it before," she said. "So... your parents are muggles?" The girl hoped she was not offending the fifth year, but it had been a while since she had a decent conversation with anybody besides Bryn, Damien and Taki.

    [Won't comment until friday.... :| Bye...]

  26. "Yeah. I have a nine year old sister named Rosemarie. My mom said if her calculatins are correct she should end up here in two years. I dunno why she doesn't want her in Hogwarts though..." Amanda continued.

    (She will end up in Hogwarts. And forgot to mention that her moms sister went to GGWA.)

    ReplyDelete
  27. (Bye, Moon! XD)

    Bryn smiled brightly. "We have a muggleborn teacher here, you don't usually get much of those anymore, with roaming dark wizards and such. Selena Farwill. You saw her at the opening feast- she's the one who had blonde hair, blue eyes, and was wearing dark grey robes." She finished her butterbeer and took a swig of her mead. If anyone could handle alcohol well, it was Bryn Reedwing.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Amanda nodded. "One of the teachers at Golden Gate is German. Thats where the TWT is being held. I really liked him. Professor Greenstone was the name. Arther Greenstone. Hard to beleive he's German. And we have er... Professor Delron, the headmaster..."
    She kept telling them about er old school and hadn't even touhed her buttrbeer.
    "I'm rambling, aren't I?" she asked turning a bright shade of red.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Bryn shrugged. "I don't care. It gives me something to think about." She exchanged a look with Shiina, each of their expressions showing nothing, though the bond they had explained everything to the other. They were both thinking the same thing. They needed something else to think about, otherwise they'd go mental.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Amanda nodded and started guzzling her butterbeer down.
    "And we are kinda like Hogwarts. The head of Dragonmore is Professor Tonkins, Wolffang is Professor Silverwater, Phoenixtalon is Professor Brown, he's muggle-born, and Aspenclaw is Professor Greenstone." she told them.
    She liked having someone to talk to. "So, I guess I've kinda forced myself onto you guys havn't I?" she asked.

    (Also giving you info 'bout the school without emailing you... lol)

    ReplyDelete
  31. (haha LOL)

    Bryn shrugged again. "Like I said, it's nice to have the distraction. School work and job applications and all." It wasn't even a lie. With a horrified pang, she realized that with everything going on, Bryn had forgotten about the two essays for Farwill and Yamamoto due the next day. She swore under her breath.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Amanda smirked at Bryn. "Homework probs?" she asked.

    (SO an American figure of speech! LOL)

    ReplyDelete
  33. (hehe)

    Bryn grimaced. "Unfortunately." She sighed. "Farwill gives too much damn homework..."
    Beside her, Shiina rolled her eyes. It was definitely true. While she was the nicest teacher in Lyreade, she was also the one who gave the most assignments.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Amanda muffled her laughter. "Oh Bryn. You really remind me of Vera. Not bothering to do her homework until the last minute. She ditches it alot." she told her, turning redder.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Bryn raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, I suppose." The truth was, she always did the homework either in class or right after, and then worked with Shiina to find out more about the prophecy afterwards. Now, though, with the TWT and the prophecy weighing down on them, not to mention applying for a job, Bryn had forgotten to do those two essays.

  36. [GREETINGS.]

    Shiina continued to sit silently, not talking at all. "..." Her red eyes stared down at the table as the two other girls continued to chat.

    ReplyDelete
  37. (YERRR!!!)

    Bryn glanced up at Shiina and wondered, for a split second, what she was staring at. She shrugged inwardly and looked back at Amanda.
