[ It’s noon, and Entranceway’s newest arrival is curious as fuck. She’ll be wandering about the gardens, snooping around the mansion, peeking in through windows, staring at the blue skies that make up the entrance hall’s ceiling, sniffing the food in the kitchen, and everything in between.

There are mysteries here, and Naoto Shirogane, ace detective, is on the case. If that means interrogating the shit out of anyone who crosses her path, so be it.

Eventually, she’ll find the communications system and, after spending a while figuring it out (it's not hard to find previous posts and others' conversations), she’ll send out a brief, private message: ]

To Souji Seta & Yousuke Hanamura--
IMPT MESSAGE:
HELLO.
ARE U THERE?
PLZ RESPOND ASAP.

[ Naoto does what any self-respecting Japanese person would do in this situation. In fact, any self-respecting and nonself-respecting person from any and all nationalities would do this. It's only proper.

She straight up DROPS THE BASS. The bass of her entire body. Into the nearest snowdrift. Needless to say, when she peeks out (de-hatted), she is an agent of fury, with a rage that could fuel the fires of Colgate University when I eventually burn it down. ]

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?

[James just laughs at that for a good couple minutes or so, and turns around on his broom. He's not far away at all, just hovering there.]

Ffff! Oh Merlin, I wish I'd come at you from the front so I could've seen your face! It must've been great.

[What a great first impression James makes, as an odd British jerk on a flying broomstick. He's not a complete asshole though, so he does lean down, pick up his (...her? Oops) hat, shake the snow off, and gently toss it back at her. He's still laughing a bit, but he's clearly trying to calm it down into silent chuckles.]

Sorry, I couldn't really help myself. You were right there and it would've been a crime not to.

If you think leaving me be would be a crime, I'd hate to see your stance on murder. [ You prick. She drags herself out of the snow drift, brushing off snow where she can. But it's too late. Everything is damp and melted snow, and nothing is beautiful. Naoto puts her hat back on regardless. Gotta salvage the shattered remains of her dignity. ]

[ It's only then she realizes that she's talking to an odd British jerk on a flying broomstick.

is this what drugs feels like ]

Wh-what-- You're, um, I mean to say-- That's. [ words are hard ] You're in the air. Right now. Flying?

[ She rubs at her eyes. Nope, he's still there. why ]

[Oh, and she's a muggle. Oops. James should really just learn to assume that people are muggles until they indicate otherwise, but it's not like the ministry is going to come after him in Wonderland for the improper use of magic or whatever.

So James swings himself around so he's sitting on his broom "side-saddle", and pretends to look surprised.]

Huh? ...Oh! Would you look at that? Yes. Yes, I am.

[ Oh, she knows he's being a dick. Give her a second to lower the brim of her hat out of embarrassment. Okay, people flying on brooms. That's no more ridiculous than time shenanigans, other worlds, Shadows, whatever. Deep breath, keep an open mind. ]

Forgive me, I'm not used to [ assholes ] [ sneak attacks from the air ] [ british assholes ] this. [ She waves a hand, indicating all of him. ]

Now, if you'll excuse me, it seems I'll have to change clothes. Since my current outfit is now wet. [ HMM I WONDER HOW THAT HAPPENED. Enjoy that very pointed look. ]

Wait, wait!

[He actually jumps off his broom and fumbles for his wand.]

Really, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I can dry you off though, and you won't have to go back in?

[Wait, maybe he should explain himself a little first.]

Um. I'm James Potter, and I'm a wizard. That's why I can fly on a broom, and this is a wand [He twirls it in his fingers] and it's entirely normal where I'm from, but I keep forgetting most people here are muh...non-magic folk.

Don't point that thing at me. Don't even think about it. [ She is not happy with you, mister, and the last thing she wants right now is to be turned into a toad or whatever the cool wizard kids are doing these days. ]

[He holds his hands up, wand included, as if he's being arrested.]

Woah, sorry! Um, here. Let me show you on something else.

[He carefully moves to where a poor, sad little flower is mostly covered in snow. Seriously, it's like someone just dumped snow on top of the still-living garden. Rude. Anyway, he gestures for Naoto to come a little closer, and even if she doesn't, he says a spell and waves his wand at the flower.

Some sparks come out of his wand and the snow melts quickly - but the flower is left dry afterwards, and the snow around it melted enough to reveal grass. But it's not dead and it's not a toad and everything is fine.]

[ shit that was magic

excuse us for a moment, naoto's mind has temporarily checked the fuck out.

she is pretty sure she read a detective story with wizards in it once. it was pretty baller. ]

[Wow, showing muggles magic is awesome.]

Pretty great, right? Now, are you sure you don't want me to dry you off and save you a trip back to the mansion?

............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Yes, I'm sure. Goodbye. [ whoops getting the fuck out of here, see ya james. ]

[James pouts. He doesn't like that his boyish charm isn't working at all. So, being a stubborn jerk, he follows her. He even picks up his broom and follows her on foot.]

Oh, come on! I was only trying to help that time! You don't have to storm off!

Are you following me?

[ fkjghslkdfj Okay, hold on, regain poise. ]

Alright, here. If I let you dry my jacket, will you please leave me be?

Maybe.

[His grin is friendly enough, and at least it's not a flat out no.]

[ Sigh. ]

"Maybe" is better than "no." [ She unbuttons her jacket and takes it off, holding it out in Jame's direction. use ur magic, asshole ]

[He doesn't take the coat. He lets her hold it up for him while he casts the spell. And in just a moment, the coat is dry, as if she never jumped in the snow in the first place. It's probably even warm.]

There. Good as new!

Edited 2012-12-20 01:42 (UTC)

[ Holy shit it's not on fire or anything. Dang. It's a miracle. She examines it a bit before putting it back on.

Toasty. ]

...Thank you, I suppose. Despite the fact that you were the cause of this mess in the first place. [ Yeah, you aren't getting out scot-free. ]

No problem!

[He'll take what he can get, at this point. He puts his away away, but instead of leaving her alone, he decides to escort her to the mansion.]

I'm James Potter, by the way. Who're you?

[ oh my god why is he still following her. She's silent for a bit before deciding to give her name-- ]

Shirogane Naoto. [ :T ur boyish charm is dumb ] I'm a detective... from Japan. [ since, well, she can figure that he's a wizard from england because wow your accent, son. Also, any chance to brag about being a detective will always be taken. ]
