[Lawns] He Talks like June

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn was a rebel. That's a simple way to explain the reason why he was out on the lawns instead of in his class. He, instead of heading to his quite dangerous Potions class, had sneaked out of the castle onto the lawns. This was quite simple for him. All he had to do was change into his animagus cat form whilst no one was looking, and run. It was a good thing that cats were common pets. Perhaps he should even invest in a collar to another Ravenclaw, so if someone caught him, he'd just be dragged back to his common room. "Nah, that's to weird." Bray muttered while smirking. It was a rather warm day, and it felt much better than the dampened rooms of the dungeons.

Finding a tree that got a lot of sun, he quickly pulled himself up into one of the lower branches and leaned against the trunk. After a few minutes of shifting, he finally found a comfortable spot and closed his eyes. Maybe he should have bought a book, or better yet his guitar, but he didn't. Instead, Bray decided that it would be good time to 'reflect'. A lot had happened lately... Maxi and Ash split.. Calypso was formed.. The Guild became active again...

It was a bit overwhelming and he had to forced those ideas out of his head by humming softly. This tune was one he knew quite well, and was one of the first songs he learned to play. Occasionally he'd sing a bit, going into little parts like "Tell me, did you sail across the sun? ... and that heaven is overrated." while doing a bit of air guitar, as such was a habit when his was out of reach. In essence, he probably looked odd to any onlooker. Air guitar and humming, well, hopefully no one would be there. But then again, this was a school where classes weren't consider mandatory.

[child, if you do not recognize. You are sad, and I shall not tell you.]

[Felicity Locke]

Felicity had only ditched one class, it wasn't like she was going to miss that much anyway. She'd just get some notes from someone or something. It was probably surprising that no one had seen her slip out, but then again, Fay was a master of this school. How else did she sneak out to the forest anyway?

Fay pulled her hair back out of her eyes and looked around with her hands on her hips. Her friends would probably scold her for ditching, but it wasn't like she cared that much. Felicity wasn't really one to 'follow the rules'. At least not when she thought them foolish or something. So here she was now, breaking yet another rule.

Her head snapped to the direction of one of the trees. She heard the faint voice of someone singing, and it sounded oh too familiar. A grin spread across her face as she skipped over to the spot. "Finally decided to bend the rules a little Bray. I thought you said your sense of adventure was ignorant." Fay laughed and beamed at him. The little veela was certainly happy today.

{As it's one of my favorite songs, I recognize it, but I have completely forgotten the artist. So I am partially sad. There, I addmited it.}


Ash grinned to himself as he walked across the lawns, instead of going to Div that day, he had decided to be a rebel and ditch class. Oh wait... he ditched class on a regular basis! Ash was definitely not your stereotypical Ravenclaw. And judging from the singing he heard coming from a tree, neither was Bray! Looking up into the tree he called, "Bray? It's Ash, need some company? Or how 'bout a better voice?" he teased. Then he saw Lissie, "Oh, hey Lissie. What's up?"

[Bradyn Reed]

[DARLING, IT'S TRAIN. TRAIN.. How could you forget?]

"Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey.." He said, singing softly with his eyes still closed. Then he sat up with shock when he heard footsteps followed a voice that was definitely not his. Blast, Busted! He thought frantically. Then he spotted who it was and he rolled his eyes. It was Ash, of course, the regular ditcher. And Fay too, probably sneaking off to the forest to hunt for centaurs or whatever she said she was doing in there.

"I don't know what you're talking about, I don't go to half my classes.." He said, but grinned anyway. "And hey, you sing in the commonroom. I sing in.. trees. And I think I sing pretty damn well, hmph!" He said, scolding them and giving them a pout. Then he scooted over a bit on the branch.

"You coming up or what? I think a couple of people standing there and looking up a tree might give us away."

[Felicity Locke]

Felicity rolled her eyes and jumped up to grab a branch. She swung herself up and slimbed up to a branch a little higher than Bray's. Her feet swung back and forth, hanging over the branch. "Huh, and why are you tutoring again?" She smirked at him.

"I think you have a nice voice Bray. Ash is just jealous cause another guy in the group can sing." Fay stuck her tongue out at the vocalist.

Of course, Fay had secretly been hoping she would meet someone else out here, but seeing her friends was fine. Even though she saw them daily, but still, it was always nice.

"So, how's your day goin' my boys?" Felicity shifted slightly on the tree so she could lean on the trunk. It was easier than balancing on the branch. One leg still swung over the edge though, and her arm rested on the knee of her other leg.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash jumped up after Fay, and stuck his tongue out at her. "Maybe I wasn't speaking clearly, I said someone with a better voice!" he teased, saying a quick, silent prayer that Bray or Fay (or worse, both!) wouldn't strangle him!

[Bradyn Reed]

"Ah, that's the beauty of tutoring a complete moron." He said, grinning and avoiding Fay's swinging feet that she seemed determined to kick him with. Then he looked up towards her, trying to figure out if she was being sarcastic or not about him being able to sing. As far as he could tell, she was serious and he smiled.

"You better watch you're back, prettyboy, before I surpass you." Bray winked a bit at Ash and leaned back against the trunk of the tree.

"Well, besides me figuring out that all my Ravenclaw friends have no respect for the 'rules', I'm pretty good. Went hunting, killed a squirrel. It's pretty gross, over there." Bradyn gestured back towards the lake where he hid the squirrel that he'd probably take and toss into the forest for thestrals to eat. He smirked in morbid amusement, knowing that Fay had a surprisingly weak stomach for that type of thing.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash scoffed, "Yeah, like that would happen!" he said rolling his eyes and sticking out his tongue at Bray (that seemed to be a Calypso thing), then he made a face at what Bray said next. "Um, ew? Didn't need to know that Bray!" He smirked, "And I know I'm pretty. Glad you finally figured it out." he said with an air of superiority. Inspecting his nails, he frowned to see that most of his black nail polish had chipped off. "I need to redo my nails." he grumbled, pulling a bottle of black odorless (he couldn't stand the smell of nail polish, it made him sick to his stomach! so he found odorless polish) nail polish out and unsrewing the cap lay his left hand flat on the branch, and started applying a fresh coat. Still talking away like it was normal for him to be sitting up in a tree with two other people, and putting on nail polish he said, "You know, we still need a keyboardist, some of the songs that I wrote recently have keyboard in them. So we need to find a keyboardist."


((i have no clue why i wrote all that... ))

Edit: Sorry Ally, didn't see your post. Oh well, don't think it'll change anything.

[Felicity Locke]

Felicity couldn't help but laugh. She had met Bray's so called 'tutoree' a few times. Didn't seem like the brightest bulb in the box.

"Oooo, do I hear a challenge?" She smirked. "If it's a competition can I join? Or is it guys only?"

Fay shrugged at the comment about rules. "We can't all be perfect." Her gaze slid to where he gestured and her held her hand over her mouth. "Oh the poor squirrel. I think I might be sick." She turned her head away from it and glared at Bray to try to wipe her mind of any images of mauled rodents.

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn rolled his eyes at Ash. "Oh, it will. And when it does I'll be all 'Told you so!' and you'll be all 'Noo!' and then.. well, I don't know." He said, nodding and crossing his arms.

Then he smirked at Fay, knowing that the comment had done double the damage since even Ash didn't like it. "Oh, what do you mean 'ew'? It's all in good fun. Plus, he looked rather cute while he was twitching all like 'save me, save me'!" When he imitated the squirrel, his voice was all high and he waved his arms a bit. Noticing that Ash had taken out a bottle of nail polish, he raised an eyebrow in curiosity before reaching over to the branch Ash was on, and knocking the bottle out of the tree while Ash was preoccupied with painting on his hands like a girl. "Take you're creepy transvestite habits elsewhere, bub."

[Felicity Locke]

Felicity twitched and started to turn slightly green. "Oh please stop." She rested her head on her knees and shuddered. "Cruel, cruel, cruel feline friend. Cruel."

Fay refused to look up, in case Bray did some more immitations and her mind created more disgusting images. Gah, curse her for having such a vivid imagination. "Ug, different subject please. I think I'm going to lose my lunch or something."

It was probably surprising that stubborn, rebelious Fay had a weak stomach when it came to things like this. That was probably why she was a vegetarian, something most of her friends scoffed at. Felicity couldn't deal with thinking about eating a cow or something.

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash glared as Bray knocked his polish out of the tree, "Thanks alot jerk!" he snarled, pulling out a new bottle, he sent one more death glare towards Bray and started all over again.

[Bradyn Reed]

Bradyn grinned and licked his lips. "Ah, well, I guess you wouldn't understand the thrill of the hunt." One of the many high points in his life was annoying his vegetarian friend with his own personal killings. Sometimes he wondered why she was even friends with him, but hell, who couldn't love the kitty boy? "Don't worry, I finished him off quick. I don't like to play with my food, it's bad manners." Of course, Bray didn't actually eat them. That was disgusting. He just hunted them, then left it for something else to take as a free meal.

Bray looked up and gaped at Ash. How many bottles of nailpolish did he own, and carry around with him. "You're hopeless, my friend."

[Professor Ashton Laurent]

Ash just rolled his eyes, "Whatever." he muttered, still clearly mad.

[Felicity Locke]

Felicity held out her hand and shook her head. "Just stop talking already, otherwise I swear I will vomit on you." Her gaze quickly switched to Ash, painting his nails again. Fay rolled her eyes at her friends. "You paint your nails more than I do Ash." But, then again, Fay never really cared all that much about what people thought of her appearence.

"So...Anyone do anything interesting lately? Besides mauling helpless creatures." Fay shot a glare at Bray as she said this.
