[ Below you will find a series of inflammatory notes. The names are left blank in this representation, as they will display the name of someone you love. Your momma, indeed. ]

_________ gives it up to half-breeds
_________'s patronus is a mutating box of festering bug parts
_________ rinses with a malodorous mouthful of fossilized camel hairs

[ And on and on. ]

[ The other note is only slightly less awful, ]

Skip the match. Dungeon pit. Bring victims. All in good fun.

[ ACTION ]

[ Carla has arranged a little party in the castle dungeons. And by party I mean hazing younger students. She's promised them something along the lines of popularity and connections in exchange for their total cooperation.

A series of tasks have been lined up. Some simply painful, some simply humiliating, and some simply both. ]

[ ACTION ]

[ She'll be around, feel free to make your own scenario. ]

[instars]

Really?

Robert gives it up to half-breeds.

Is that really want you want to say?

[She's meeting her in the hallway, looking tiny and delicate and a little spacey, like she always does.]

[ex_anuglybloom413]

[ Carla shrugs like she's done nothing wrong, taking out her wand to effect the charm, having it spell out a new name. ]

Just a prank, Satya.

[instars]

I'm the half-breed he's giving it up to.

[She doesn't care about blood status]

It's in poor taste.

[ex_anuglybloom413]

When has that ever stopped me?

[ Because really. ]

Or him.

[ Hi there. ]

[instars]

[She steps forward, and the spacey look is gone]

You would think, all pureblooded as you are, you would have some class.

[ex_anuglybloom413]

[Her voice lowers, her only display of circumspection. ]

We both know it's meaningless.

[ A vague little motion to the foot traffic around them. ]

But they believe in it. No class required.

[ And if someone knows how to not be classy, it's Carla. ]

[instars]

Look, I don't care what you believe.

You keep Chase out of this, and we're golden.

[ex_anuglybloom413]

He can fend for himself.

[ A dismissive gesture. Shoo, shoo. ]

Now go fuck him, he likes that he should be disgusted by you.

[instars]

[She catches that hand, the one making a dismissive gesture, and twists Carla's wrist. It's fast, fast enough that she's twisting it behind Carla's back before she has a chance to go for magic]

If you think I won't break each and every one of your fingers, you're wrong. But let me assure you-

[She bends one back, not enough to break, but certainly enough to hurt]

The worst part of this won't be going to the school matron to get them fixed, it's going to be what I do to everything you hold dear in the meantime-

[She takes another finger, bends it-]

-and if you think for a moment that because I'm in Ravenclaw I don't have the gall for it, then you're stupider than I thought.

[ex_anuglybloom413]

[ She inhales deeply when she regains her bearing, but her pulse is thundering excitedly at the thought that the girl might really break her fingers. Not quite masochism, but the adrenaline thrills her. ]

I dare you.

[instars]

[She pushes her down, and stands over her, catching Carla's wand with the tip of her shoe.]

You're not worth it.

[She says it, but her accent is growing less English and more Namibian by the second.]

Stay away from him, stay away from me, slag.

[ex_anuglybloom413]

[ Carla lets herself fall, catching herself on hands and elbows to face her, still smiling up at the girl. ]

Sticks and stones, Satya.

action; ????

[brobeforehos]

[She gets the note, Skip the match. Dungeon pit. Bring victims. All in good fun, right before the Ravenclaw vs Hufflepuff game, and no amount of interest she may have over her future boyfriend playing against her House's team can stop her from investigating something which definitely smells like bullying.

So she goes to the dungeon pit, very much alone but armed with her wand, while more than half the school is watching the game. And guess who!]

Carolena?

action;

[ex_anuglybloom413]

[ Really, Mae, really. ]

Weren't you headed to the game?

[ One free pass to just turn around and pretend you never saw this !!! ]

action;

[brobeforehos]

I was, but then I found this. [Holding out the note. Really, Carla, really.]

What's going on here?

action;

[ex_anuglybloom413]

I would have invited you, but you didn't seem interested.

[ Her smile is easy, meant to be disarming. ]

action;

[brobeforehos]

[Nope.]

I'm generally not interested when victims are involved.

action;

[ex_anuglybloom413]

It's just a joke, Mae.

[ :) Because why would Carla ever do something mean-spirited! ]

action;

[brobeforehos]

I know plenty of jokes which don't involve naive, gullible students.

[Crossing her arms here. Look, she ain't the Prefect, not a lot she can do aside from go to allert authorities, but. Likely by that point, everything will have disappeared without a trace. So.] How about you call the party off?

action;

[ex_anuglybloom413]

No one was dragged here against their will, and I'm sure they resent being called gullible. They're very clever individuals.

[ Hahahahaha. ]

action;

[brobeforehos]

[Hahahahahahahaa.] So how about you call the party off?

action;

[ex_anuglybloom413]

I'm sure no one here wants to reschedule.

action;

[brobeforehos]

So what are they here for? Hmm?

action;

[ex_anuglybloom413]

A little bit of group bonding.

action;

[brobeforehos]

Over what?

action;

[ex_anuglybloom413]

It's a team building exercise, Mae. We go through some difficult tasks together and come out all the closer for it.

action;

[brobeforehos]

[You know what they say? If you can't beat them...join them. Dismantle them from the inside.]

Really? Like what?

action;

[ex_anuglybloom413]

You're welcome to join them.

[ She offers out a hand. She'll really do this to you, Mae. Honey badger don't care. ]

action;

[brobeforehos]

I don't join clubhouses without knowing what I'm in for.

action;

[ex_anuglybloom413]

It doesn't work if you're in on the secret. You won't take it seriously.

[ :) ]

action;

[brobeforehos]

I don't take it seriously to begin with.

action;

[ex_anuglybloom413]

There's your problem. Why don't you head back up to the game.

[ Get lost Hufflepuff !!! ]

action;

[brobeforehos]

I've got my eye on you.

[goodboysgood]

[It's very late when he finds her.]

You owe me a new shirt.

[ex_anuglybloom413]

Or what? You'll take a pound of flesh?

[ Eye rolls! ]

[goodboysgood]

No. I've already taken points from your House, within school rules I suppose that'll have to serve.

Two people crying on it, so far. [He's not mentioning who one is.] You can't torture the new kids just because some of them are stupid enough to let you.

[ex_anuglybloom413]

That's exactly why I can torture them.

[goodboysgood]

I'd suspect whichever professor I take this to will disagree. Or do you think it's straight to the Headmaster with this sort of thing?

[ex_anuglybloom413]

Do it, you don't need to announce it to me.

[goodboysgood]

It's only polite. Besides, I might not see you after.

One can hope.

[ex_anuglybloom413]

You're boring me, Chase.

[goodboysgood]

Because I'm not making violent little threats? I don't make threats. It really does spoil the surprise.

[ex_anuglybloom413]

[ She makes a dramatically tortured face, which is followed by a very blunt, ]

Shut up. Go fuck, I could possibly care less.

[ She hadn't written his name on that note, truly she does not care about breed or about partner. She only found it amusing to watch his girlfriend snap, she has no lingering feelings about either of them, about any of it. ]

[goodboysgood]

[Which isn't right, anybody could see that. But he didn't come to convince her to care.]

Good. Don't care. I don't want you taking an interest in me or anyone I know. I just wonder what a sad little life it must be if this is the most pleasure you can find in it.

[ex_anuglybloom413]

So I've heard, it's as if each and every one of you uppity twats read it out of the same book. Get lost.
