*The sound of a toilet flushing is heard outside the Common Room, followed by squelching footsteps. Rubes appears at the entrance to the Common Room, slicking back his hair. He rushes to the fire to dry himself off*
"Hey kiddies. Loo powder still works great. Good to see you all alive and well!"
*He glances over Eve, Wiz, Lynn and Herm, and he raises an eyebrow*
"Headmistress eh? Good effort! Congrats. So sorry I've been gone. These "renovations" have quite confused me, and I've been busy smiting evil in video games May I join in?"

OOC: I'm in a very Mrs. Weasleyish kind of mood right now, so ye be warned.
BIC: *gets up quickly seeing Rubes come in, looking slightly worried* Where have you been? I thought we'd have to come rescue you or something! What if those evil games had gone to your head, and warped you into their world? ((you can anytime! ))
*she throws him a towel, and blushes slightly* Oh and thanks by the way.

OOC: This is just a mental note to myself: I will not stay up till all hours of the night just to finish the last HP book in one day. I'm still tired from last night .
BIC: *goes to hug Rubes, even if he's drenched in toilet water*
Good to have you back man! Just wasn't as fun without you here.
*plops into the vacant armchair next to the couch*
I think I'll pass on this game, so I can just watch and get the feel of it before I play.

OOC: Yeah, I'm still recovering from reading Half Blood Prince. So sleepy
BIC: *Sits on the towel in front of the fire*
"So, what game are we playing here ladies? Deal me in!"

*she removes the cards from the box* Well, I've never actually played this to be honest. It just came in with a new batch for my shop.
*shuffles a bit the cards and then lays them on the floor resembling a fan. You can note the way they shimmer as the light in the room hits them*
Basically, you can attempt to build anything with them, but there's a trick. Some cards, like this one *she holds up a card which appears to have Peeves's face on it*, can make everything collapse if you use them. The real problem is that they can change the card colour to resemble all the normal cards, but when you use them unaware, it will change back to the Peeves card, and will destroy it all.

"Righteo. Peeves cards are bad then. So, what shall we build?"
*Starts to sort through the cards*
"Oh! I've got trips! All-in!"

Maybe we could start something simple for now, or.....heck, let's do Hogwarts! ;D
But before we do... *she takes the box which held the cards, and taps it with her wands. More cards appear inside* We'll have to keep refilling it if we want to do something as big as Hogwarts.
OOC: Trips?

OOC: Trips = Triple, or Three of a Kind. I've learnt a lot of card games in my time off Perhaps I should teach a class
BIC: "You want to make a life-size Hogwarts with these cards? That'll take ages!"
*Begins to construct a pyramid*
"I can do this with Muggle cards, to a certain extent. Unless one of the cats jumps on it "

OOC: Oh I get it. I'm not that great with cards.
BIC: *thinks* Yeah I suppose it would. But we want it to be a bit engaging no? The Astronomy Tower maybe? Or a bouncing castle?

"You reckon we can make a jumping castle with a deck of cards? Let's just hope Peeves doesn't get involved, or he'll let all the air out "
*Rubes' card pyramid collapses at the mention of Peeves*
"Bah"

Well I suppose it wouldn't bounce, though we could charm it, but it would be like a miniature castle or maybe a bit bigger.

*runs up to the girls common room, then comes back down with her Quaffle in hand*
You should do that. We could have a mini jumping castle displayed her in the common room.
*sits on the couch and tosses her Quaffle back and forth in her hands*

*Stares at the Quaffle*
"Oooh. It's been a while since I've held one of those. Quick, pass it this way"
*Rubes scoots over to the other side of the Common Room*

*tosses the Quaffle over to Rubes*
It's been a while since I picked it up. I missed tossing it around and playing some Quidditch too.

*cautiously peeks in and enters once she's sure there are no jars in sight*
So you all look like healthy, normal people? I see you're playing with a Quaffle. That's a healthy activity...
