Staircase to nowhere [open] Mar 27, 2013 20:10:39 GMT -8

Ezra had originally planned to go back to Ravenclaw tower or perhaps the owlrey, and find something entertaining to do. However..The staircase had different plans. It had apparently chose, mid swing, that it was going to just stop and hang out in between available exits. Sure, Ezra could have gone back the way she came and went somewhere else or chose a different staircase. But instead she stayed on the rouge staircase and entertain herself.

Walking the rest of the way up, right to the edge, Ezra sat down and dangled her feet over the abyss that was the stairwell. From there she could see everyone below her going wherever they were going. periodically she would wave or shout to someone she knew, which warranted her either odd looks or bubbly replies.

Swinging her legs to and fro, she remembered she had a thing of Bertie Botts Beans in her pocket. Pulling them out she rifled through trying to find one that looked like a recognizable flavor. Finding a swirly pink one she popped it in her mouth, thinking it was strawberry or cotton candy. Turned out...it was neither. Instead she was affronted with the pungent flavor of raw salmon. Face scrunching up in disgust she spat it out as fast as she could, sending it sailing at a portrait.

"Oi! Watch what you're doing there, girlie!" It yelled at her before huffing off out of the frame.
"Well. Excuuuuse me." She mocked, rolling her eyes, and redepositing the beans with some distaste.

After quite some time entertaining herself on the stranded staircase, she heard the thumping of feet walking up behind her. She smirked to herself.
"I hope you don't have somewhere to be. This sets a bit out of commission. I think it may be having a bad day, I didn't think it polite to ask though." She said, not turning around, but staring rather interestedly at a few sets of portraits, a finger held up telling her unknown visitor to wait.

Suddenly, the faint clanking of armor could be heard throughout the portaits. Thrusting her wand forward she pointed ahead of her. " I've found you this time Sir Cadogan!" She exclaimed.

"Miss Winchester, thats hardly fair! You haven't been looking, you've been listening!'Tis a knavish plan indeed! You dare cheat the noble Sir Cadogan?"He exclaimed back, drawing his sword.

She withdrew her wand laughing. "And what is a brave knight without their ears about them? I believe that 3-2 in my favour."

"I've no time for this, M'lady! Evils afoot! Get back here you scurvy braggarts!" Sir Cadogan went yelling as he flitted through the portraits down to some very confused looking first years.

Ezra chuckled victoriously and swung her legs up to turn to the mysterious stranger behind her. Standing up, pocketed her wand and held out her hand.

"Ezra Winchester." She introduced with a smile.

"You little runt!" a short boy with dark hair hissed as he scuttled through the main floors grand entrance after a tiny plump bird, "Get back here this instant!"

Jesse Boye had been enjoying a late breakfast that morning, and hadn't even finished his second cup of coffee when his tubby little Scops owl had flown in through the window, late. The bird hadn't anything particularly interesting for Jesse this day, just this weeks copy of the Profit, and for the first few minutes Jess had been able to ignore the little thing as he finished up his hot
cereal. Soon though, the little bird got anxious. It noticed its master had food, and wondered why its treats were severely lacking. Then at one point, the little thing became unusually quiet. If Jesse had been fully functioning by then, he would have realized something was wrong, but it wasn't till he felt the little bird scampering out of his pocket with an ounce bag of weed that he realize the thing was up to no good. Jesse flipped, jumping from his seat, and with good haste, the bird scampered out of the room with a series of short flights, and surprisingly fast waddles.

"Give it back Fox!" The boy warned, trying his best to keep up with the naughty bird, " That's not the zippy baggy you want anyways!" But the bird wasn't listening though. It knew it was in trouble, and he wasn't going to get caught now, Jesse could tell that by the mischievous look in its eyes. With a hop and a flap, it flew up into the mess of staircases above, and out of sight. Jesse's heavily makeup-ed eyes danced around quickly, trying to find the bird before he made himself sick on plastic and grass. He couldn't catch sight of him at first, but he eventually watched the little thing waddle across the rail of a staircase way up high and perch on the end to look down at its owner. Jesse growled, and started the trek up the jumble of stairs.

[/font]"You little pigeon! I'm gorra get ya!" Fox chirped happily from its perch, almost laughing at its master, with the little plastic bag halfway down his throat. "That's 3 galleons of my money you're trying to swallow there!" Jesse yelled at the bird, slowly making his way around the labyrinth of stairs, getting closer and closer to the bird each time. He eventually reached a dead end. The stairs he was on had refused to connect with anything, leaving fox just out of reach at the other side! Now Jesse would have to go down to the bottom and try again! No fair! he eyed the bird angrily, and just when he was about to turn around and fins another way across, he noticed the girl sitting at the edge of the stairs.

"Uhh... what are you-?" He was cut off suddenly by an interesting game game with a knight! He watched the strange girl banter with the painting for a moment, not sure why someone would do such a thing, and eventually felt safe enough to approach her. he adjusted the puffy black skirt he was wearing over his purple leggings and sat down beside her, taking a moment to glare at his owl, then gaze down at the ground far bellow them.

"Wow... what a trippy height." he said in awe, watching stairs move and swirl beneath them. "I'm surprised you're up here. most people would be afraid ta sit in a place like this." he kicked his feet over the edge and dangled them down, watching the world move about under his ladybird pumps. "I'm Jesse Boye. Good ta meet ya."

Ezra tilted her head as she saw a little owl with a bag of...something, flutter up and perch rather proudly across from her. She shrugged it off and contiued watching the paintings.

After she had finished her game with Sir Cadogan, and itroduced herself, she got a look at the mystery person. She beamed brightly at the boy in the giant poofy skirt. She loved people like that, the ones who didn't follow any sort of stereotype, the people you could tell had broken the mold when they were born. Still sitting, she patted the spot next to her. After he sat, she pointed across the way, laughing a bit.

"That your owl, mate??"

"Wow... what a trippy height. I'm surprised you're up here. most people would be afraid ta sit in a place like this." Ezra leaned precariously and looked down, still smiling.

"It's not the height you have to worry about, its the falling. And even if that were to happen, I'm sure they have some kind of spell in place to make sure you don't...you know... -SPLAT-." she made a falling and crashing motion with her hands. Surely there was something like that in effect, otherwise, there would have been alot of people in the hospital wing with 'falling off the staircase' related injuries. And last time she had checked, that wasn't exactly common.

"I'm Jesse Boye. Good ta meet ya."

She smiled, extending her hand over to him. "Nice to meet you too. I love your skirt by the way. It's so fluffy!"

"Nice to meet you too. I love your skirt by the way. It's so fluffy!"

"Thanks." Jesse smiled rustily, still groggy without his second cup of coffee. "I made it myself." he slapped the sides of his skirt, forcing the layers of crinoline to to try and flatten it a little. He felt like he was being eaten up by it sitting here next to her.

Jesse looked across the large gap between them and the owl and sighed, "Yeah... that's me fat pigeon." he grumbled as the little thing bounced about happily, ripping holes in the baggy with it's little talons and sprinkling people below with little bits of leaves. "His name is Fox. God knows why though. The thing ain't so clever." Watching it dance in celebration over the gutting of his plastic baggie irked Jesse, and he contemplated taking off his shoe and throwing it at the tiny thing. He was sure he could hit it from here. Only problem with the idea was that the shoe would no doubt fall down bellow, and with his luck, hit Professor Walker or some other highbrow that couldn't take a shoe to the head.

He examined the gap again, thinking over what the girl had said. "Anti-splat spells?" He mused, "Yeah, seems possible. I ain't ever heard about anyone dyin' on these things. There's gotta be someway they're protected." He leaned forward further, putting his elbows on his knees and his head in his hands, and sitting on the edge of his seat- just on the edge of danger. What would happen if he jumped? Would something stop him? Would someone be fast enough to catch him? "Seems like somethin' that's too dangerous to test out..." He muttered, turning his groggy eyed head to look Ezra in the eyes, "Just hope that I'm around when someone decides to try it out."

"What are you doin' sitting up here all by yerself?" The little Irish boy asked her, "Just waitin' for them to turn again, or what? Seems like a waist of time. They ain't movin'- they're assholes like that. You oughta just go find another way over." He said in his very blunt way.
