12 Smuppets; Text; Forward dated slightly to morning

[plushaeusrumpified]

Yo, it's been entirely too long since you all got a real homework assignment. Not something like those little study assignments I've been giving you. It's about time for another one of the real deals.

Since you're all on the same level, this goes to everyone. You've been studying basic phrases in Mermish, right? So it's time to put those to use. I want everyone to start inco

[But then the message stops for a few long moments. Ink drips onto the page as if he's dropped his quill. It's a while before anything more than inksplatters appears.]

Alright, that was weird! I just had like, a massive head rush or something. I don't remember coming into this room! And I don't even know whose journal this is, but I guess I got a teacher's journal by accident? I don't even know. But whatever. I hope they don't mind me using it, because I can't find my own.

This guy writes a lot of weird things.

Oh, I probably shouldn't be reading this, should I? Sorry! Please don't give me detention. I'm just kinda confused, I wasn't thinking. I'll pretend I didn't read anything.

So anyway, I've been here a few months now and weird things are still happening. Like me waking up in this room randomly, for example. Is that normal? Should I see a doctor? I know this place is magical, but still it's really freaking weird.

I should probably get out of here now that I think about it. I don't wanna be caught in some teacher's office without permission...

Also does anyone have any ink I can borrow? Because this black is really boring.

[So yeah, Bro is back to being a first year in the middle of writing a homework assignment and is kinda confused. On an OOC note, responses will come from brohoof]

Comments

[seeringlight]

[She's extremely partial to the chocolate frogs and collects all the cards.]

I like. Dirk! It est nice. [She swings their arms to and fro like this was totally normal. Apparently she has decided that you will be her chauffeur. At least until she can find her mom.]

[brohoof]

[He likes those, too. He has a weirdly fun time eating them since they're so lifelike.]

Thanks...

[He smiles as their arms swing, and he can't stop himself form helping along the momentum.]

I like Rose, too. It's pretty. [His bro would probably think he's being so uncool right now, but she's just so adorable and he can't help but play along.]

[seeringlight]

[She seems to be enjoying it a lot though, so even if his bro thinks he's uncool, he's making a little girl very happy.]

Merci!

Mamam says papa wanted et for me. [She looks so proud.] That he loves me much.

[brohoof]

[Well good. A little girl is making him happy, too. So they're definitely even, even if it's totally uncool.]

Well duh! How could he not? [He says it as if it's the most obvious thing.]

[seeringlight]

[She tugs at his arm. Obviously she wants to be in charge! Even...if she has no idea where anything is.]

Papa not live wit' me. She say he much busy and not visit. [She looks a little sad at that, but smiles.] But he does et for me! She say he only come back if I be good.

[brohoof]

[He lets her take charge, allowing her to pull at his arm without any resistance, even letting out a small laugh... Which fades away when she speaks. That sad smile is really... well, sad. It hurts him somewhere in his chest and it's a weird feeling, because nothing's ever really gotten to him like that. Oh no, she's worming her way into his heart... How did that even happen?]

Then I'm sure he'll come back soon! Because you're awesome and very good. He'll be back before you know it!

[seeringlight]

[Rose has no idea where she's going! But the fact that she seems to really like the castle makes up for it. She seems completely entranced by everything they walk passed.]

It is fine if he not come back soon. I know he much busy for me! [She swings their arms happily.] I'm going to be the best for him! I learning dancing and riding. And fencing! Mamam make sure of it!

[brohoof]

If that's true, then like I said, he'll totally come back soon! You're working hard, so he can't stay away. Besides, how could anybody be too busy for your? Everybody should make time for you.

[He seems intrigued by everything she's telling him, so after a moment he continues.]

What's fencing, by the way?

[seeringlight]

Oui! I hope you very right. I want to see papa.

[Setting her up for disappointment, Bro.]

It is a form of sword fighting! It is much elegant. I love it much!

[brohoof]

[He doesn't mean to be! He just honestly has no idea.]

Really? That does sound cool! Do... you think you could teach me, maybe?

[seeringlight]

[Things will get better eventually. She'll slowly open up to Bro.]

If we can find fencing swords I will teach you the basics!

[brohoof]

Where would we find those? That would be really cool if you did! Could we use sticks?

[seeringlight]

We could use sticks! But the weights are not good. Fencing swords have specific weights and sticks are not much flexible.

[The room of requirement would really help in this situation.]

[brohoof]

Oh... Wow. This is complicated! I don't know where we're gonna find fencing swords. Hmmm...

[He doesn't know about the room of requirement, unfortunately. So he has no idea where they're going to find fencing swords, of all things.]

Well, we could either look for some, or just give up and do regular sword fighting- or... Well, stick fighting, I guess. I like sword fighting! I really wanna learn how to use a katana, like in the animes I watch back at home!

[seeringlight]

I can still teach you how! Just, I do not recommend without proper swords.

[Rose looks puzzled at his latter comments though. She was raised as a pureblood. She doesn't know much outside of her private lessons and what she has buried herself under.] What is anime?

[brohoof]

[Whoa. Whoa. Hold up! They can talk about swords and fencing and all of that cool stuff later. First, he has to make sure he's heard right. She hasn't heard about anime? How can this be? This... this is a travesty! This should not be allowed to be a thing. Everyone should know about anime! Everyone.]

Are you serious? Rosie, you don't know what anime is? How do you not know? It's only the coolest freaking thing ever. There's fighting, and swords, and blood, and... and... everything! I can't believe you haven't seen any anime before! I wish I could fix this... God, I really do. We should try finding somewhere where a TV works! I wonder if it does in Hogsmeade...

[seeringlight]

Oui! Is it like opera? Or ballets? There is no blood in either though... [She doesn't understand what he's talking about at all. :( What is anime and why does it have all these things?]

What is...what you say. Tee Vee? [They don't have those in the Lalonde household. Like, shit. It was really weird when they got their espresso maker.]

[brohoof]

Oh god, no! It's nothin' like opera or ballet! Nothin' at all- unless those things have giant death robots or... or samurai swords and butt kickin'!

[But he does give her a nod at that last part.]

But you're right, it's TV! Or, well... Television! You don't have one of those? Oh man you need to get one, Rosie. Or come to my house and we can watch it there!

[seeringlight]

Non? We do not have this...tee vee. [She has no idea what it even is.] I...do not understand much you are saying...

[This is what happens when you deal with purebloods man.]

[brohoof]

There's not much to understand, just know that it's awesome. And you should get a TV! Everyone should have a TV, just like everyone should watch the stuff I watch!

[This is what happens when a pureblood deals with Muggleborns man.]

[seeringlight]

I 'ave never 'eard of a tee vee before. [She was trying so hard to make her accent less obvious, but she's too much in awe.] I will 'ave to ask my uhm, mom. Maybe she knows more about this tee vee.

[She understands jack shit.]

[brohoof]

Well if she hasn't ever heard of them, I can tell her all about them! Just have her call me and we'll figure something out, okay? Because you definitely need to get a TV, Rosie. And then I can come over and watch stuff with you!

[seeringlight]

I would like that much! Oui! [Her face goes really bright.] I do not get many...ah...the word where people come over...

[What a lonely little girl.]

[brohoof]

Vis...itors...?

[His voice is hesitant. He's never dealt with anyone who has so much trouble with English before. It's a little weird.]

[seeringlight]

Ah! Oui. Visi...visi....[She is trying so hard! Look how hard she is trying!!!]
