Great Lake

Great Lake



The murky, black water spans as far as you can see. The air is tainted with the scent of salt water. Still you remain, perplexed by the foggy beauty of your surroundings. You risk putting your feet in the water, despite the fact that the water is home to a hoard of creatures. The cool water entices you into wanting to take a dive.

Roleplay

Maeva Fairchild -Fifth Year "Politeness is wise."  – 06:30, December 27, 2014 (UTC) Maeva stood lakeside, dropping various leaves and twigs and watching them float away. Wasn't there supposed to be some underwater creature here?

Charlotte Bancroft -Hufflepuff Fourth Year TBD  – 06:38, December 27, 2014 (UTC) Charlotte walked down to the Lake, and watched the leaves and twigs float away before asking, "What are you doing down here?"

Maeva Fairchild -Fifth Year "Politeness is wise."  – 06:45, December 27, 2014 (UTC) She blunk before turning her head and registering the question. "Oh? Just... thinking, I suppose. Nothing in particular... I'm Maeva?" She clasped her hands in front of her, then behind, then crossed her arms, before coming full circle.

Charlotte Bancroft -Hufflepuff Fourth Year TBD  – 06:46, December 27, 2014 (UTC) "Is that a question or a statement?" she asked, a gentle smile on her face. "I'm Charlotte Bancroft," she said, extending her hand.

Maeva Fairchild -Fifth Year "Politeness is wise."  – 06:53, December 27, 2014 (UTC) She unclasped her hands and shook Charlotte's gingerly. "It could be either. I don't know either." She returned Charlotte's smile with a small laugh of her own. "What brings you out here?"

Charlotte Bancroft -Hufflepuff Fourth Year TBD  – 06:55, December 27, 2014 (UTC) "I like the water," she said. "And it won't be much longer that I get to enjoy it."

Maeva Fairchild -Fifth Year "Politeness is wise."  – 06:56, December 27, 2014 (UTC) Maeva nodded in agreement. "It's interesting to see how the ripples reflect sunlight,"

Charlotte Bancroft -Hufflepuff Fourth Year TBD  – 07:01, December 27, 2014 (UTC) She nodded. "Do you live near water?" she asked.

Maeva Fairchild -Fifth Year "Politeness is wise."  – 07:03, December 27, 2014 (UTC) "No, which is part of the reason I enjoy it so much here. Do you?"

Charlotte Bancroft -Hufflepuff Fourth Year TBD  – 07:04, December 27, 2014 (UTC) "There's a fountain in our garden at home, but that's as close as I've got," she said with a bit of a grin.

Maeva Fairchild -Fifth Year "Politeness is wise."  – 07:06, December 27, 2014 (UTC) "Oh, that sounds wonderful. I bet birds come along all the time," Maeva paused for a moment, "Do you like embroidery?"

Charlotte Bancroft -Hufflepuff Fourth Year TBD  – 07:08, December 27, 2014 (UTC) She shrugged. "Occasionally. I'm guessing you probably do?"

Maeva Fairchild -Fifth Year "Politeness is wise."  – 07:11, December 27, 2014 (UTC) She nodded, and asked, not unkindly, "What is it that you like to do with your spare time, then?"

Charlotte Bancroft -Hufflepuff Fourth Year TBD  – 07:14, December 27, 2014 (UTC) She shrugged. "Explore. Be outside. Practice my penmenship. Learning the curvy swirls and things is fun," she said with a bit of a grin. "I know that it's just men who are scribes, but who's to say I couldn't be one?"

Maeva Fairchild -Fifth Year "Politeness is wise."  – 07:22, December 27, 2014 (UTC) She smiled, "My brother probably would, but he's rather easy to ignore." Then she laughed, turning to look at Charlotte and not the lake for a moment, "The funny thing is, is that I don't really know how write. Besides my name, of course."

Charlotte Bancroft -Hufflepuff Fourth Year TBD  – 07:25, December 27, 2014 (UTC) "I didn't know how to write much beyond that when I first arrived, either," she said. "But I hated using those Quick Quotes Quill things for writing essays, so I got an older student to teach me two years ago. I could teach you, too, if you like!"

Maeva Fairchild -Fifth Year "Politeness is wise."  – 03:20, December 28, 2014 (UTC) Maeva decided she liked talking to Charlotte, "That would be wonderful." She thought for a moment, then asked, "What house are you in?"

Charlotte Bancroft -Hufflepuff Fourth Year TBD  – 03:23, December 28, 2014 (UTC) "Hufflepuff," she said with a smile. "I'm a fourth year." She cocked her head. "I think I've seen you around as well. But you're older?"

Maeva Fairchild -Fifth Year "Politeness is wise."  – 03:25, December 28, 2014 (UTC) She nodded, smiling, "Yes. I am in my fifth year. I assume I can study with you in the commons, then?"

Charlotte Bancroft -Hufflepuff Fourth Year TBD  – 03:29, December 28, 2014 (UTC) "Of course you can!" she said excitedly. "Did you want to go now? Or..." she shook her head. "You were probably out here for a reason. I wouldn't want to disturb you."

Maeva Fairchild -Fifth Year "Politeness is wise."  – 03:32, December 28, 2014 (UTC) Maeva grinned, "I usually walk around the grounds for no particular reason. It wouldn't be a bother at all." She started to walk towards the castle, looking back at Charlotte as if to ask, Are you coming?

Charlotte Bancroft -Hufflepuff Fourth Year TBD  – 03:34, December 28, 2014 (UTC) She grinned and followed Maeva back to the castle.
