Looking at games; Harry's none too happy

[savespeople]

So if I am hearing you correctly, it took watching some ridiculous fan's musical to... bring me to life, or whatever it was that you said?

I'm not flattered, by the way. You know me, I like a quiet life. This is not going along with that, mun-person.

You really should stop what you're doing, because I won't go. Do you hear me? I won't go.

[deluminators]

Best of luck with that one, mate.

[savespeople]

Thanks, Ron.

So, where's your mun put you, then? [He hopes it's not somewhere like the place where people are forced to get in bed with each other or somewhere equally horrifying.]

[deluminators]

Nowhere actually. I'm stuck in this place for now, limbo I like to call it.

What about you?

[savespeople]

Er, well, I think she's got it in her head that some place called Entranceway's a good fit. Dunno if I agree with her.

[usskickass]

...I'm seriously regretting giving James that book now.

[Sigh. You just had to go and die on your teenage father, didn't you?]

[savespeople]

You gave him the book? Wait, how d'you know his name's James? [He's pretty sure he's never met you before.]

[usskickass]

I uh. Well, I know him. In Wonderland, anyway.

[savespeople]

So you're his friend? [He's trying not to sound too eager.]

[usskickass]

I, uh, I guess you could say that.

[pottershotter]

Is that Entranceway in your tags there?

Oh, your mun should absolutely send you there. I have to insist. If you're going to suffer in some bizarre game, you might as well do it with a young version of your old man, don't you think so?

[savespeople]

Yes, I s'pose it is. Dunno why she decided on that place, but at least it's not the worst one she's looked at.

Don't you think that's going to be... I don't know, weird? [As weird as having a conversation with said version of his dad like it's something he's done a million times before.]

[pottershotter]

It's really not the worst place we could be. Sometimes it gets a little dangerous, but otherwise it's just a big adventure.

[He considers that question very seriously though.]

Hm. I suppose it'll be weird at first - you know, when we meet for the first time. But I imagine we'll get used to it. After all, it's not so weird right now, right? Maybe this is what it'll be like later.

[savespeople]

Yeah, I guess I could be going to that place where everyone has to kill each other to survive. Sounds pleasant, doesn't it?

No, this isn't weird. I've seen weird things, loads of them, actually. Er, you said something about it getting dangerous. How dangerous?

[He's not scared, of course, but it seems like a good question to ask.]

[pottershotter]

Oh, of course. It sounds lovely. [He shakes his head. No, no it doesn't.] I'm glad my mun's not quite that much of a sadist.

Well, let's put it this way - the place turned into Egypt a couple of weeks ago and it was incredible! We were able to explore ancient ruins and do all the kinds of things curse breakers do! ...Which was fun until the locusts and the hell fire raining down on us. The inferi that event spawned weren't fun either.

[Hm. Maybe that was a bad example.]

Anyhow, the events are all based on someone's memories, and if they're good ones it'll be good, and if they're bad...it might get dangerous, depending what it is.

[savespeople]

I'm glad too. I don't fancy being sent anywhere, but if I have to, at least I'll know someone there. Sort of.

If that's your example of how dangerous things are, I'd hate to hear what you have to say about the adventures. [By which he means wants to hear that, because hello, he's a Potter.]

But you can still use magic, right? So you can still fight and everything, if you have to.

[onlyspare]

It doesn't always work, unfortunately, no matter how much you reason with them.

[savespeople]

Well, I'm not going to just let her put me somewhere because it suits her fancy, am I?

[Though he knows Cedric's right; arguing and reasoning is pointless.]

[onlyspare]

I suppose you won't, but either way I think making best of a poor situation is best, don't you?

[Cedric can see the bright side of many things, of course.]

augh, accidentally froze that comment. what in the world, self?

[savespeople]

Yeah, of course. And I guess it's not so bad; my dad'll be there. He'll be around my age, though, so if I show up, that's bound to be a bit of a shock.

rofl it is a-okay. <3

[onlyspare]

Your dad?

[He may look at you rather strangely, only because he isn't used to this whole thing just yet.]

At least you'll have someone you know? But yes, I can see where it might be shocking. It's strange, the way these places work.

[savespeople]

Yeah, I don't really understand it all, but somehow, he's around my age.

I don't know how it's going to be when I finally meet him there, but... [he really wants that meeting to happen. Getting to meet a teenage version of his dad sounds both scary and exciting.]

[idkworldruler]

[Well what do you know? It's Harry Potter.]

You sound very boring, despite having an exciting life.

[savespeople]

I'd rather not go back to being chased by people who want to kill me, thanks. If that means I'm boring, then I s'pose I'm all right with that.

[idkworldruler]

So why don't you kill the people trying to kill you?

sorry for my lateness :(

[surgicalprodigy]

Most Muns realllly don't care if you want to go or not.

But chin up! It's not so bad here!

fff, no such thing!

[savespeople]

Well, at least I tried to tell her.

Oh yeah? Locusts and hell fire seem pretty bad to me. [Though he supposes he'd take those any day if it meant not having to be on the run chased by Voldemort and Death Eaters.]

[surgicalprodigy]

Yeah, but that only happened once, and it went away after a while!

[savespeople]

Right, and how long is awhile? And how long is it going to be until something like that happens again?

I tried telling my mun, I really don't fancy going anywhere. There's enough trouble going on at Hogwarts. I don't need any more.

[no_martyr]

The Muggles who run these things aren't very good at listening. I doubt you'll have much choice in the matter.
Is it at least not one of the ones where you forget everything or similar? The Muggle typing for me says she couldn't handle playing in one of those.
(Of course, she also says she doesn't like the games where you can't go home again, and yet I've been stuck in the one she sent me to for eight months now.)

[tt_mod]

There's nothing wrong with a quiet life, not after everything you've been through.
