A New School Year [OPEN LOG]

[headmasterwalt]

It's almost time for school! Time for the yearly trip back to Diagon Alley. New books, potion ingredients, and robe fittings? Absolutely. First years? Go get your wands. More importantly, now's the time to catch up with old friends and see how they've been over the summer.

If it's your first time to Diagon Alley, maybe you can catch someone heading in to show you the way? Don't worry, there's always a helpful witch or wizard about to guide the Muggleborns to the right location if they get a little lost!

( Kicking things off with a quick and easy log! Threads may take place anywhere in Diagon Alley, with any characters that will be heading to Hogwarts. Feel free to threadjack, threadhop, or create multiple threads depending on if you want others to hop in when you change locations! Most importantly, have fun! )

Not a bad choice, Finn.

[Marceline speaks up from behind him, twirling her parasol. She likes the kid, she has to admit. He's fun. And owls? They're pretty cool, too.]

[humanhero]

[Finn looks over with a wide, missing-toothed grin.]

Hi Marcie! Thanks. ...Kinda broke right now, but boy wouldn't it be cool if I could buy one of these owls?

[He's obviously very excited about them, regardless of the fact that he doesn't have the extra money to buy one.]

[drinkingred]

Yeah, I guess it'd be pretty cool. [Marceline smiled and shrugged one shoulder nonchalantly.] Handy, too.

[humanhero]

No kiddin'!

So are you gonna get a pet this year?

[drinkingred]

Nah, I work just fine alone.

[humanhero]

You suuuure? I think you could do with a little kitten as a friend myself~

[drinkingred]

Watch yourself, Finn. I'm not getting a kitty-cat.

[humanhero]

[Finn chuckles.]

Awww, you know I'm kiddin'. I dunno, maybe I'll have no choice but to get a cat or somethin'....I don't got the money for an owl, an' I can't take Jake to school. How lame is that?

[drinkingred]

You without that dog of yours? Bummer, Finn. [She shakes her head.] But a cat wouldn't be too bad for you, you know. It's just not my style.

[humanhero]

Yeah, freakin' sucks. Makes no sense that they'd allow cats and not DOGS. Jake's so lazy he wouldn't cause any trouble anyways...

..but I guess you're right. Though I really would dig havin' an owl instead.

[drinkingred]

Seriously, that guy would be fine at the castle.

...Hey, I could lend you some money for an owl. You'd just owe me.

[humanhero]

[He pauses, glancing up at Marceline out of the corner of his eye.]

...Aww...I dunno Marcie. I'd be owing you for years. No way I'm gonna be able to earn that kinda money on my own any time soon.

[drinkingred]

[Marceline smirks.]

So pay me back some other way. You can work for me.

[humanhero]

...Work for you??

[Oh gosh that might spell all sorts of trouble.]

Doin' what?

[drinkingred]

[Trouble? Oh yes.]

I'm not sure yet. Just stuff I need to get done.

[humanhero]

Mmm...I dunno man.

[He's not suuuure if it's worth it.]

[drinkingred]

C'mon, it'll be fun. What's the worst that can happen?

[humanhero]

...Don't people always say that right before the worst ends up happenin'?

[drinkingred]

Stupid people. Not me.

[humanhero]

Hmmm...

[He glances back to the window. Boy is it tempting..]

I'll...think about it.

[drinkingred]

Alright, but don't make me wait too long.
