If anything did, he wanted to be sure he was not sitting down when retribution came knocking. But, it did not seem like anything too strange was happening so he figured he should rejoin his luggage.
"See? Look what you did Etta," said Anthony when he was back in his seat. "I swear, when you want to be Prank Master, you take every stupid idea that comes to you, Don't you? There must have been someone else you could have used it on. Like...Dizzy, for instance" |

He looked over to the lady, and jumped slightly to see that Elise's hair was now orange. At least it was straight, but the green seemed to be fading though, which was a good thing.
He was about to inquire about the 'new-do', but he stopped himself, for he thought he would insult her maybe. He removed his hand from the amulet, and let out a sigh, then in somewhat of a sarcastic questioning, he spoke out to her, "So, you enjoying the trip?" |

Just as Anthony had said, Elise's hair was returning to it's normal shade of light goldenrod. She pulled a mirror from her pocket and grinned when she realized it was finally gone. The girl ran her hand through her hair and pushed herself off of the seat, stepping over to the window. She leaned foward and rested her hands against the window's ledge, watching the various elements of scenery fly by. Trees, bushes and lakes all flew by as the ominous castle seemed but an hour or two away. Elise frowned and leaned against the window, her small frame shaking to and fro as the train did the same.
Elise was loathing her arrival at the new school. |

He said bluntly. His eye glanced to the floor after following her figure to the window. He didn't really seemed interested in his last year at the school. Elf had awakened to her foot steps and jumped out of the way just in time to get out of Elise's way. The cat then stumbled it's way tiredsome over to the edge of the seat which Victor sat in. He jumped up beside him, to rebound and jump again onto his shoulder, laying down once again and letting out a soft 'sigh-purr' as it feel into slumber once again.
Victor, too, let out a sigh, he then reached up above him with one of his long arms and removed a small briefcase from the cargo compartment in the cabin. He set it down into his lap and undid the buckles of the briefcase, he lifted the lid open to only reveal a book, some pens, and a box within. He grabbed the box and shut the lid down, closing the case with his other hand. He then wound a small key that stuck out of one side of the solid black box. As he let go, it began to spin slowly the opposite direction he turned it. It soon rang out a soft melody, some of the keys were off-tuned, due to it's age, but it continue to play the piece softly. It almost seemed to block out the sound of the train and other compartments. He closed his eye, and seemed to be falling into a sleep himself, but in fact was awake, just enjoying the serenity of the music that caressed his ears. |

"That's what makes it interesting. So my prank backfired this time, but that happens to all the greats once in a while." She shrugged. "Elise forgave me and I don't have a black eye, so everything turned out all right. It might be the start of a beautiful friendship." She looked thoughtful for a split second, but then she grinned wickedly. "Don't worry, Dizzy is overdue for a prank. I'll have to talk to you about the ingriediants you used in that orange-smelling potion. I want to know what makes your hair stick up like that. Maybe I could help you work out the 'bugs,' as well." She turned her attention to Dizzy, and her owl.
"Oh, Terry," she released the barn owl from the bubble and he flew over to Etta and perched comfortably on the top of her head. He hooted happily when she offered him a treat, and accepted it. "Thanks for holding him for me, Dizzy." |
| Vern_5 Joined: 31 May 2005 Posts: 212 | "Sorry," Anthony replied sullenly. "My recipes are not for sale, not cheap anyway, and judging from what you did with the last one, I'd be afraid to sell you one even if you had enough to bargain with"
Anthony did not give anything for nothing, not something valuable, and his homemade potion recipes were more than valuable; they were his art. Snape might be a damn good alchemist but he simply told his students what he knew, he never told them anything worthy of Anthony's time. Anthony put time, energy, and his life into each recipe he devised, he was a true alchemist. Snape was just a reporter. "However," said Anthony, reconsidering what he could get out of a trade. "I might be persuaded to teach you my artform. That is, if you have the right bargaining chip" |

Oh well, let's see what would Anthony want...? She let her hair down and she ran her fingers through it thoughtfully. Let's see...
"How about... full immunity of my pranks for the first quarter of the school year?" she asked. She knew she could probably find out how to get people's hair to stand up, but if she knew what Anthony had used, she would figure it out a lot faster. Plus, she loved haggling. |
| Vern_5 Joined: 31 May 2005 Posts: 212 | "If I had the time or effort, I could do that for myself with the proper ingredients," said Anthony. "But that prank immunity does have its appeals. But...It will only give you a third of the recipe. Why only one third? The recipe I made is very delicate, requiring the right amounts of the right ingredients. None of them are rare, but when I first tested the potion, the smell it gave off was excruciating. It was like teh stench of nightmares and raw sewage with a hint of lemon. So, if you want the entire recipe, you'll offer more" |

While that would be very funny, she'd prefer to have the whole recipe. Etta knew that she wouldn't get what she wanted on her first try, so she started outrageously low. She twirled a lock of her ebony hair around her finger. "It's that delicate? Well then, how about full immunity for half the year?"
Terrestial closed his eyes and hid his head under one of his wings and fell asleep. |
| Vern_5 Joined: 31 May 2005 Posts: 212 | "Half a year?" Anthony said incredulously. "I'd expect an entire year for the entire recipe. Unless your prankster nature is so out of control that you would care to substitue a semester or two for something else? Now, what would you like to bargain?"
Anthony did not know Etta to be a liar, so he doubted she would go back on her word. However, subduing her inner-prank might be too much for her good morals. That meant that she would have to pay in some other fashion. The table was open and Anthony was not demanding anything, just wondering what she would try. |

James nodded as the tiny owl flew back to Etta. "Anytime," he said, grinning slightly as he remembered something else. "He's just lucky Charon's not coming for another day or so, he had a vet appointment and couldn't make the train." He sat back again and listened to Etta and Anthony haggle. He finally decided to jump in. "How 'bout this..." he said, turning an eye towards the not-so-Slytherin Slytherin, "I'll grant you one quarter immunity from me as well, and you sell it to us both? I'm rather curious to see the, er...bugs in this potion." |

Maybe I'll postpone that prank a week or two, she thought. She turned back to Anthony. "You're in Slytherine, Anthony," she pointed out. "You're gonna get pranked... all you can do is delay it for a semester."
She twisted her hair into a bun and used her wand to hold it in place. She leaned back in the seat and placed her hands behind her head. |
| Vern_5 Joined: 31 May 2005 Posts: 212 | Anthony turned to the new bargainer. "Is that so? Well, honestly between you and me," Anthony started to whisper to Dizzy non-discretely. " Etta seems the more dangerous here, so her offer is much more appealing. Still, if you were to offer something you'd have to pay in full for the full recipe. I don't merge deals. Oh, and if you share any recipe I give to you, since you'll be signing a binding document written into the back of the recipe, it'll dissolve into dust; it's a little charm my father taught me. So, either pay in full, or walk away empty handed."
Anthony was more than a thief, he was a business man. He loved reciprocity as a method of trade and he loved the balance it provided. Unlike most Slytherins, he was a fair man. So if two people wanted two recipes, they would both pay in full for his work or not at all. |
| Asai Joined: 24 Aug 2003 Posts: 638 | James stopped grinning. He didn't like businessmen, unforetunately for Anthony. This is why he often pulled many of those pranks. He raised an eyebrow at Anthony's whisperings.
"Appearances can be deceiving..." he said, making sure Anthony heard him. With a flick of his wand, he recast a bubblehead on Etta, because he only wanted to drive his point home to Anthony, Etta had seen some of his better pranks. With a few deft movements, he reached to the ground to pick up the vial that Artemis had conjured and broke it under Anthony's nose. OOC:i still haven't taken off my own bubble head yet, and the vial contains laughing gas. enjoy :D |

Now, laughter coming from Anthony was not just rare, it was imposing. Hearing Anthony laugh, as Anthony came to realize, was like hearing the devil chuckling in your ear: intimidating and surreal.
"You, HAHA, idiot!" Anthony laughed hysterically. 'This... THIS... pppfffttt... PAHAHAHA! This is some way to get a recipe from me. You can, HAHAHA, kiss this deal goodbye!" Anthony suddenly stopped speaking and fell over laughing, unable to even move from his spot on the floor. He kept laughing and laughing and could do nothing to stop it. He paused just long enough to breathe before resuming. OOC: [color=red:9c329e9d09]This post has been UNedited because it *IS* possible. Have an inch of leniency, JESUS CHRIST. You guys take this WAY too seriously. He's just LAUGHING. I think it's ok if he talks just a LITTLE BIT :p
