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! )

[Pssh, as if Vanellope cares about causing a scene. Of course her parents would probably say different if they were here, but they weren't, so it's not really her problem.

She squints up at Turbo, making a face when he comments on the candy in her hair.]

Hey, do I tell you how ta' dress Mister hot-shot? There's no way in the universe that THIS candy can ever go bad, so disgustin' isn't even in my vocabulary when referrin' to it.

[Actually, that didn't really answer the question of why she has candy in her hair in the first place, but either way it doesn't seem abnormal to her one bit.

She pauses for a moment, eyeing the candy cane in his mouth before snickering.]

Though y'seem to have good taste otherwise. ..Everything else? ....nooot so much.

[She says this while looking him over. He does not look like anyone she's ever encountered before, and she's really not sure what to make of it.]

[He takes the candy cane out of his mouth, putting his other hand on his hips with another slight brow raise.]

Yer BRAIN made'a chewed gum too? No such thing as candy that doesn't go bad! 'Specially if s'been in some brat's greasy mop!

[He points the peppermint stick at her, narrowing his glare.]

Try again, sour patch, more like I got good taste in EVERYTHIN'! Not that ya'd know anythin' 'bout that, 'cause NEWSFLASH: Sweets are fer EATIN', not WEARIN'!

[It doesn't dawn on him that this might be the first time she's ever met, or seen, a Daemon. His species isn't exceedingly rare, but he has no way of knowing that before being adopted, Vanellope didn't live in the wizarding world.]

[His close proximity gives her cause to scowl deeply, and it takes all she has not to take a step back. Whether Turbo realizes it or not, his appearance is a bit intimidating. His nasty attitude matches his looks, but that perhaps is the only thing detracting from his imposing presence.]

Guess you must be livin' under a rock then, cause ya must'a never hear of Von Schweetz candy!

[She's never going to back down from a chance to praise her parents' candy, though claiming it would never go bad might be a bit of a stretch. Even the best candy goes stale sometime. Of course, that's not really any excuse for Vanellope to have it in her hair. She doesn't seem to care either way and just sticks her tongue out at him.]

Well who asked you anyway? YOU were the one gawkin' at me!!
