So turns out even helping citizens being brutalized by the Hand assholes can get you locked up in the slammer for the night. I'm trying real hard not to turn into a three-headed dog-monster and break out of here, just gonna do my time until tomorrow morning, cause otherwise there's no way some innocents won't get caught in the crossfire. Maybe some of you might be up for distracting a gal?

See, there was this drinking game we'd play at the bar: What the fuck is up with that?

Gotta make some adjustments for a network, but just chime in on this post if you wanna play. Other people will ask you, What the fuck is up with ____insert-thing-here-about-you_______? and then you're supposed to answer honestly or drink if you don't want to answer it. Obviously you could still just lie, but then you're a coward. If you're not into drinking, you can think of some other way to punish yourself for not answering.

But for instance, you might ask me, "What the fuck is up with you being able to turn into a three-headed dog-monster?" Or you might ask a friend, "What the fuck is up with your hatred of chickens?" or "What the fuck is up with you being so tall?" Sky's the limit. One time a guy asked another guy, "What the fuck is up with you being so handsome?" and that kicked off a whirlwind romance for them.

Just a way to way to pass the time while we wait for people to be handled and for the beacon to be activated for those who actually want to head home, and you'll be saving the city from the wrath of me so, y'know, an easy way to be a hero.

(OOC: thread jacking wildly encouraged. feel free to plurk about your chars comments so their cr could potentially ask them stuff. go wild! drinking game lovingly borrowed from Critical Role. )

[Red is wise, nobody wiser.]

1. Stun the guards, blast your door open, and we Apparate out of there before anyone's the wiser. At some point Clara wants to high-five into the sunset.

2. I do! Well, actually I love a lot of spells really. Alohamora, that opens any lock; Aguamenti has been handy for us all because I can essentially guarantee we have water at all times; I love a good Diffindo or Bombarda for offense, and I have a few warding spells that are just - oh, and also I've come up with some enchantments and spells myself. My bag is charmed so it has endless capacity, and if you were ever around Emilia in Alem, I made her and Wrath coins that can get warm if they were in trouble!

There are a number of spells called Unforgivables, so those three are the ones I hate.

[damnable]

1. That does sound bad ass as Hell. Almost makes me want them to not release me so I can experience it for myself.

2. Those are all amazing spells. Magic's about as wonderful to me now as it was when I first saw it - cooler because mortals can wield it, and it's not just some thing gods can do.

The Unforgivables? Gotta imagine whatever they do, it's terrible especially to get that kind of label. ...but to hate them means you probably have experience with them, huh?

( hate's a pretty strong word otherwise. )

Could we not just reinact a jail breakout when there's no looming dangers, Red? If they let you out, let them do so - please.

[reparo]

[ She considers leaving it at that, but then again, it's Red. She's in jail, she's a friend (a good friend!), and if there's someone out there who would react to what Hermione's gone through in a way that brings with it some relief, it might just be Red. ]

[reparo]

There's three of them, and casting either of them can get you put in real, magical jail.

There is the Imperius Curse, which strips you of your agency and forces you to do whatever the caster tells you, and the Cruciatus Curse, which makes you feel excruciating levels of pain - think of it as condensed torture, because it is - and finally the Killing Curse - you can probably guess this one.

I've only felt one.

[damnable]

( Well, fuck. She should have anticipated that Hermione's been on the other side of one, but she still hates to think about it. It hurts to think about it. Any of the three options would be pretty terrible to know her friend went through: loss of agency is terrible in ways no one should have to understand, excruciating pain sounds like one of Hades' punishments for the souls gone wrong, and death- no. She can't wrap her mind around that one.

But she has to know, and she wants to give Hermione the space to talk about it too. )

...which one?

[reparo]

Well, I'm not dead, and I've not been mind controlled. So.

[damnable]

Fuck.

I'm sorry. What happened, and is the witch or wizard who did it dead?

( Cause she sure wants them to be. )

[reparo]

It's a long story. To shorten it, there was a war going on, and my friends and I were caught by the dark side's forces.

But yes, she's dead. Very much so.
