Another teaser from far out, mostly to amuse myself - Bob Schroeck - 07-29-2015 Seamus studied the man and his belongings for a minute or so more before coming to a decision. He backed off to the entrance to the clearing, then called out loudly, "Hullo the house!" The man sat up straight and opened his eyes. Even from this distance Seamus could see that they were a bright, startling blue. "Well, if it isn't himself come to call!" the man said with a rumbling chuckle; his voice was deep and crisp. He stood and, smiling broadly, made a "come here" gesture. "Well come, Seamus Finnigan. I offer you my hospitality and my fire. Here, sit and speak with me." He waved to the side of him opposite the cloth and its contents, and another camp chair was suddenly there. Seamus started. "Y'know me name?" he blurted, and the man chuckled again. "Of course! You've been expected, young Seamus," he said. "Come, share my fire." Seamus shrugged to himself and joined the man at his fire. "If y'don't mind me askin', sir," he said as he settled in, "what may your name be?" One auburn eyebrow lifted in surprise. "You've made it all the way to me fire, and you don't know that? Well, lad, I've had many names in many times and places, and I don't doubt you'd know most of them, but with this face and these hands," and here he held out his hands -- big, strong hands that at the same time seemed deft and dexterous, "I'm known as Ogma of the trí dée dána." "Og-ogma?" Seamus twisted in his seat to stare at him. "*The* Ogma?" "Aye," Ogma said with tectonic chuckle. "But we're not here to talk about me, boyo, but you." "Me?" Seamus considered the possibility that waking this man had been a bad idea. "Aye," Ogma repeated. "And to decide if you're better suited to bein' a bard or a druid." -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - Black Aeronaut - 07-29-2015 Seamus as a Bard. HAH! - robkelk - 07-29-2015 So it begins... Oh, sorry, quoting the wrong wizard there. What? Well, obviously (with Bob's bumping of this thread) something akin to but not the same as the end of OMB II / DW V is going on here, possibly to everyone in what another timeline called Dumbledore's Army. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 - Bob Schroeck - 07-30-2015 "Tell me, brother mine," Fred said a moment after they stepped into that clearing, "that you are seeing the same thing I am seeing." "Well, that depends," George replied. "Are you seeing a distinct lack of snow and an overabundance of out-of-season plant life, complete with the smell of flowers and fresh grass?" "That I am," Fred confirmed. "Then I am seeing the same thing you are seeing." George shrugged off his heavy jacket. "And I am feeling a rather summery temperature, which I suspect you are as well." "Indeed I am." And Fred slipped off his jacket as well. "I can't help but wonder who might be behind this amazing piece of magic." George stepped to the center of the clearing and slowly turned about in place. "Forget that. D'you think we might be able to copy it for a wheeze?" "You might, at that," a new voice said. Perched on a rock that had a moment before been unoccupied was a black tomcat. "Hiya, boys," it said brightly, mouth opening into a very human-looking smile. The twins looked at the cat, then at each other, and a pair of wide grins spread across their faces. "Brilliant!" they said together. "Who's doing this? And what spell are you using to make the cat talk?" George added. "T'ain't a trick, McGee." The cat was gone, replaced by what looked like a cross between a man and a rabbit, five feet tall and grey and white in color. The only clothes it wore were, oddly, a pair of white gloves. It took a bite out of a carrot which it suddenly held in its left hand. "Let me tell you guys, I been lookin' for coupla jokers like you." -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - DeputyJones - 07-30-2015 So Bugs is an iteration of The Trickster... yeah, that makes sense. Makes me wonder about Daffy, though... And careful, boys! He may be Coyote, but he's also Loki! - robkelk - 07-30-2015 DeputyJones Wrote:Makes me wonder about Daffy, though...Daffy's a "household god of frustration," obviously. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of the same sovereign, servants of the same law." - Michael Ignatieff, addressing Stanford University in 2012 - Bob Schroeck - 07-31-2015 "Excuse me, are you Hannah?" Hannah turned about to see a tall woman with long, straight dark hair, wearing glasses and Muggle clothing. She appeared to be in her late twenties or maybe early thirties. "Yes, I'm Hannah Abbott," she said. The woman held out her hand and Hannah shook it. "I'm Heather Panquelle. I'm Kat and Alison's sister," she added by way of explanation. "The middle one." "I'm pleased to meet you," Hannah said, then tilted her head quizzically. "Are you one of the Warriors? I don't remember seeing your picture in the front hall." "Oh, no," Heather laughed. "I'm just a housewife. I don't run around wearing kevlar and leather, fighting terrorists and international criminals. I have more than enough on my hands taking care of my home and my two treasures. My daughters Ruth and Grace," she added at Hannah's puzzled look. Hannah nodded in understanding, then said, "Then you're not a regular visitor to the Mansion, I'd guess. So what brings you here today?" Heather held out her arm. "Come, walk with me, Hannah. I want to talk to you about a secret of mine -- one that I think you'll be surprised to learn you share." -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - robkelk - 07-31-2015 (raises eyebrow) Hannah's a ...? Oh, my. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

Or you might not. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

"It took me a while to find you, but with the strength of the call you sent out, there was no doubt I would. So, here I am!" "Call?" Pansy blinked, and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. "What call?" Skia sat up straighter, and tilted its head in puzzlement at her. "The call you sent out a few weeks ago, looking for the power to protect those you care about, the power to make a difference in the world?" It gestured at itself with one paw. "I'm here with the answer." Pansy squeezed her eyes shut, shook her head, and opened them again. No, the little animal was still there. "The answer," she said flatly. "Yup!" It leaned in toward her. "And it's *yes*." -- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. - nemonowan - 08-02-2015 Magical Defender Fragrant Pansy? - Star Ranger4 - 08-02-2015 well, it beats winding up a Patsy. And I've re read Hanna's snippet a couple of times. I still dont see whatever it is you're seeing Rob. Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky? That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry- NO QUARTER!!! -- "No Quarter", by Echo's Children - robkelk - 08-03-2015 Star Ranger4 Wrote:...Oh, dear. If I point out the clue, I'll come too close to giving away the secret. You'll just have to wait, sorry. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

I'm guessing they were all in Doug's area of effect when he pulled off something big. Anyone want to make guesses as to who Harry and Ron are meeting? Or Luna, Longbottom, and Ginny for that matter? ___________________________ "I've always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific." - George Carlin - Labster - 08-06-2015 You know, I was joking about Harvey. My pet theory on this is the the Room of Requirement is making this possible. "I need to talk to the one person in all the multiverse who will give me the advice I need to get out of this alive." Timote Wrote:Lavender meeting Yang (and I suppose if someone was gonna meet a RWBY character, the one with the colour based name fits)Dumbledore could meet Weiss, Sirius could meet Blake, and Hagrid could meet Ruby (and they can both meet Rubeus from Sailor Moon). No shortage of color characters in Harry Potter. And let's not forget Padma and Parvati Pastel. -- ∇×V - Black Aeronaut - 08-06-2015 Quote:Proginoskes wrote:....
