I'm sorry, what?
Pokemon RPs always come in waves

Anyway I'll try and post tonight
Dor turned to Phoebe at her comment at his maturity, an expression of mock indignance on his face. "My maturity doesn't need any help." Before he could any further, a drastic change in lighting drew his attention. Phoebe had really outdone herself. Artem Zelenko, the Tituba Quidditch captain and probably the tallest guy in the school, stood there glowing like something out of a comic book. The boy wasted no time in confronting Dor about it.

"Pranks?" Dor asked innocently. Without getting out of his chair he looked up at the boy towering over him. Trying to hold back his chuckles, he made a show of squinting and shielding his eyes from the low light Artem was emitting. "I have no idea what you're talking about Arty. You know I only do that sort of thing the week leading up to a match. You're looking good though. Really. Just brilliant. You'd be right at home in a rave..." A grin spread across his face. "Hey someone turn the lights out and let this guy really shine." He turned to the bartender with a hopeful expression. She merely shook her head and returned to cleaning a glass. "Well all right. Guess not." He looked up at Artem again. "Seriously though dude, I had nothing to do with it." Dor had to admit to himself, this was more something he'd do to himself. In fact, he made a mental note to consider this for future pre-match hype as well as any raves he might attend.

Artem had blushed, or at least he might have? It was hard to actually see. "If you didn't, you definitely know who did. Don't play dumb." He looked around, clearly trying to spot any other members of the Good Quidditch team or anyone who looked guilty.

With the whole room tittering, Dor doubted anyone would stick out. In fact, he doubted Artem would even do much. He was typically level-headed and calm, which made it hard to get a reaction out of him. Ever the Tituba stereotype, confrontation and revenge all that stuff wasn't really his style. Even now, he was dealing with the situation much better than most would. It was honestly kind of annoying.
Hmm so who's still left to post?
Kinda some heavier use of NPC there than I meant to have... I just had so much fun, lol.

Keep in mind y'all are free to use Roy and Judoc as NPC's if they somehow fit into what you're doing for any reason.
Table Slytherin

"It's still better than anything I can do." Nolan chuckled, surprised to find he actually did feel fine with the self-deprecation joke. "But yeah, I know he'd definitely say yes... if you can get his head out of the clouds or catch him when he's not busy with a girl. Ohnoherehecomesnow." Roy had glanced over and the Slytherin table and after some quick words to his friends got up. The young men and women at the table looked in his direction then talked in hushed tones.

Nolan sighed. Of course he should have expected this. In the aftermath of yesterday's incident coupled with all the business of the first night, Nolan hadn't had a chance to speak to his brothers. Judoc had seen what had happened but Roy was likely still in the dark.

"So, now that you're a Ssslytherin you're too good to say hi to your brother?" Roy asked as he plopped down across from him with a smile. He said Slytherin in his best imitation of a snake. "Congratulations though. Judoc looked like he'd swallowed a dragon egg whole. It was beautiful. And I think Tidus owes us each a galleon or two now." He laughed out loud, making the students nearby fully aware of his presence. "So how're they treatin' you? First day going all right?" He glanced around the table with a smirk. The faces he saw varied from friendly acknowledgment, to indifference, to annoyance and disgust.

Nolan could feel the attention that Roy was drawing. While his older brother thrived on that attention, it just made Nolan more uncomfortable. He could ignore them right? Just an everyday conversation with his brother. "Uh, yeah actually. Everything's fine. I haven't really met too many people in my house, but they all seem nice. the dungeons are so cool too. There's so much down there. And my classes so far... well, you know...." He trailed off, not wanting to express his difficulty with school in general.

Roy simply nodded. "So I don't know if you heard, but apparently you're a little violent little troublemaker. Did you really knock a kid out with a door?"

That was unexpected. Of course he remembered what had happened last night, what that girl had told Judoc about him being a monster. It hadn't even occurred to him that nobody had heard the actual story. Except the teachers of course. That sort of thing would've earned him far more than a single detention. And that expectant smile on Roy's face. Nolan had no idea what he wanted. Was he hoping he'd say yes? "No."

Roy gave an exaggerated sigh. "Well, shit. Now what am I gonna tell the girls?" He looked around the table. "Sorry ladies, but contrary to popular belief, I am not the older brother of a crazed lunatic so you can stop spreading those rumors. Rest assured, I have plenty of redeeming qualities."

"Shut the hell up and go back to your table, Archer!" A voiced called from a few seats down. A tall young witch about Roy's age. Nolan seemed to remember a photo of her stashed among Roy's things from his fourth year. She was red in the face with a look of utter contempt.

"Aw hell, looks like I've overstayed my welcome..." He got up from his table, swatting away a balled up napkin that flew at his face. "You might wanna apologize to the door guy anyway. Or tell him what happened. He's a little odd, but a nice guy. I'll be down by the lake before dinner if you want to hang out for a bit."

Nolan watched in complete confusion as Roy... did whatever it was he did. He nodded at his instruction. It made sense. "Yeah, all right." He became aware of Caelum for the first time since Roy had joined them. "Oh, hey! I forgot to introduce you. This is my friend Caelum! She's an artist like you. I told her you'd help her learn to make her art move." Nolan watched the older brother turn to Caelum, clearly just noticing her. His eyes moved back to Nolan then to Caelum. For a fraction of a second, Nolan could swear Roy's mouth twitched into a smile. Oh god...

"A pleasure to meet you Caelum. Promise to keep this guy out of trouble, and I'll definitely help you out. but for now, I have to go." He gave a quick wave to the table and retreated back to his seat.

With his departure, Nolan felt the attention on his area of the table subside. Though he noticed for the first time that some familiar looking older students were still muttering and glancing and Caelum and him. The Quidditch team? Surely they didn't hold him responsible for the events on the train.

He did his best to ignore them, turning back to Caelum. "So that was Roy..."

It was then that the girl from the train scooted down, now seated across from the two. Those intense eyes trained on them. "You're lying. I saw it with my own eyes." He was taken aback. Her severe tone was a far cry from the flippant attitude she'd shown the day before. She turned her gaze on Caelum. "And you, Hufflepuff. You were a wreck. What did he do?"
More or less
Well I had to look it up, but now I do
Dor couldn't help but get excited. His curiosity piqued, and he looked at Phoebe with an expectant grin. "Of course, of course. You were there the whole time, cheering on your favorite Chaser. That sign you made was a nice touch." Now what could she mean by radiant?

He was further intrigued by her mention of Hawaii. He'd never been but the paradise he had in his mind was of sea, sun, sand, flowers, fruits, and beautiful women. There was a sudden yell from above, which Phoebe seemed to have been expecting. He grew more excited to see what was about to happen as he walked with her to a set of chairs near the bar.

He glanced at the doorway, wondering when the target of Phoebe's prank would arrive. He leaned back in the cushy chair, resting his feet on the low table before him. "Well I didn't do anything nice as going to Hawaii. Make sure you extend an invite whenever you do decide to go back. I did visit Danny up in NYC. And that was hella fun. I spent most of the summer working though. I thought it'd be a good idea to take a muggle job. Sort of place kids our age work, so I was a lifeguard at a pool." He shook his head. "It was awful. The kids are just little demons. I wanted to jinx every last one of 'em. The job had its perks though..." He glanced at the doorway just to make sure he hadn't missed it. "I worked in the apothecary the rest of the time. Not as stressful, a lot more chill. And I managed to sneak a few samples of differen-" He was interrupted by the sound of shattering glass.

He jerked his head in the direction of the sound to see Aella standing there, red as a tomato, soda spilled all over her and staring at the ground. He turned away quickly, uncomfortable with witnessing the girl's embarrassment.
I'm currently waiting for @Prints Avoid to get their post up before I can get one up for Phoebe.


Writing it up now actually. Would've had it up earlier but I had a bit of a food coma
