Homeless, vaguely looking

[seeked]

You're really, really bad at making decisions, aren't you? [He appears to be half-amused, half-exasperated.] Well, if I can keep swaying you toward the side of not dropping me off in some foreign land a little longer I'll gladly take your indecisiveness.

Sure, I'm happy you finished re-reading the entire series. Now that it's over, it probably would make for a good story, give people loads of ideas and all. But that doesn't exactly mean I want to relive it just so you can play me somewhere. I already went through everything once; I'm not exactly keen on doing it all again. You understand, don't you?

Of course not. Once again, you're off hunting for icons, finding layouts, and ignoring absolutely everything I have to say. Fine. Go on, then. Continue shrieking about your feelings and ignoring my opinion on the matter.

It's really what they're best at, I've come to notice.

[seeked]

Might be time for her to find a new hobby then. Any ideas?

[shitknickers]

Balderdash, sometimes they're great fun! Though if you ever truly tire of the adventures she sends you on, try sitting her down with a good long book or video game series. She'll likely wind up with someone new to torment.

If it makes you feel any better, mine's shrieking about her feelings too. [ With a sympathetic wince. ]

[seeked]

[He understands all too well, Xion. All. Too. Well.]

Yours doesn't do it that often, does she?

[fourteen]

Um... [ She sort of -- laughs a bit. Read: she does it all the time. ]

Here Harry, have a squid... thing.

[controledfreak]

They are truly terrible in their capacity to deprive others of their free will. Honestly I suspected that only our grandest elders in our noble circle of horrorterrors would be capable of such a feat.

Well, it's not like we're in any position to do anything about it... so the best we can do is grin and take it up the blow chute.

((For those of us not conversational in Greater Eldritch, here's a nice little speech bubble to mouse over:))

[seeked]

[Well. This could be worse, though he's really not satisfied with that answer.]

I'm not going to take this lying down. Not really a fan of just taking it for what it's worth. [A pause, and then--] Noble circle?

[controledfreak]

Don't worry about it. There really is no sense getting all worked up over something that you can't possibly understand. I would much rather we stay conversational than risk your insanity or detonation of your flimsy calcium-lined skull.

[At... least she cares...?]

I would be very much interested in hearing how you intend to be delinquent, however. We horrorterrors are always very interested in stories of doomed rebellion and lost causes. Especially from ornery adolescents with little notion of the powers they are attempting to usurp.

[myresponsibility]

They're really good at doing that.

[seeked]

I'm not sure if I should be glad everyone else has to deal with the same issue, or if I should be concerned about how it may get worse.

[myresponsibility]

Probably a little of both, honestly.

[offbeet]

You're sounding troubled, Harry. [ a blink ] Though I suppose that's to be expected.

[seeked]

[Blunt as always, huh, Luna? That's okay. He just gives her a sheepish sort of grin.]

Expected how?

[offbeet]

[ she returns a vacant sort of smile ]

It does seem to be a specialty by this point. No one's nearly as interesting as they are when they're troubled.

[reluctant_tinman]

Nice thing about being around for awhile is you eventually learn to work together, not against each other.

Hang in there. She'll listen eventually.

[seeked]

Eventually is what I'm afraid of. I'm not sure I want to stick around long enough to find out how this all works. [You know, things to do, people to see, that sort of thing. Even after everything, despite wanting a break, he's prone to growing restless. And fast.]

autocorrect you are the worst, sorry for double post

[reluctant_tinman]

Let me give you a piece of advice-- slow down.

And because we are the way we are, you don't really have the option to get up and leave. So make peace with that.

[deluminators]

You'll get used to that soon enough, mate.

[seeked]

Right. And how long did it take you to get used to it? [Because at least he can trust Ron's opinion...most of the time.]

[deluminators]

Give or take a couple of days. Though she sets me on edge still, so bloody indecisive.

[eruditio]

A good story? You have to be joking.

[seeked]

I never said I thought it was a good story, but you should hear some of the people I share space with. [Come on Hermione. Harry's just as happy it's over as anyone else]

She doesn't make things much better. It's been months and she's still trying to place me somewhere because she reckons I'd be the best person to dump somewhere foreign and survive. Are they all like this?

hello my son

[ex_sulked683]

[ this isn't awkward or anything, right, harry? have your dad staring at you, then. ]

well hullo dad

[seeked]

[Only if it's not awkward that your son's going to be staring right back, James. Hello there. He's not entirely sure how to respond other than watching with a curious look, but eventually he settles on--]

Er. ...hi.
