There's a slug on the horn [BBS/Action/Open]

Might be a bit late for this, but who can tell when Christmas is supposed to fall on a world like this anyway. So! Merry Christmas, Balamb Garden!

To those of you who've expressed interest in trying your hand at Potions, we will be starting that up tomorrow evening, do stop by if you have any magical potential. I'm afraid Muggles need not apply -- that's nonmagic folk to those of you who don't know the term. Potions is a wizarding art, you know!

And to some of you, I'll look forward to seeing you tonight!

-Professor Slughorn

[What's tonight? Why, Slughorn's holiday party, of course! By invite only -- and how do you know if you get an invite? Well, if you have great magical potential, if he knows you and voluntarily gives you the time of day, or if he doesn't know you, then you're in! Invitees can bring a guest as well!]

[The party itself is held in Slughorn's office, which is approximately the size of the quad right now thanks to some fancy Charms laid on the room, and bedecked with emerald, crimson, and gold wall hangings. A man not without contacts, Slughorn has managed to cadge a remarkable spread of food and drink from Balamb Town and possibly Champloo, sitting on the tables beneath glittering lights. Slughorn himself is making the rounds with a smile, eager to meet guests and invitees he doesn't know.]

I could audit it. I've used potions and our items so often, but I usually rely on magic to get things done.

It'd help to be able to fix things without magic. Just in case I can't cast.

It's never a bad idea to be prepared. Gives you something to fall back on in case something doesn't work out.

And if anything, I'm pretty sure there's items to let you cast again in case you can't.
earthlychild: (Thoughtful)

I'm collecting as many as I can with the help of our gracious host.

Your students are learning that lesson well, they must be.
graynbowdash: (That a challenge?)

You got that right. I'm all for using your best talents if you can, but it never hurts to bring a little extra.

Take my hat, for example; to just anypony, it's a regular hat. To somepony with a little creativity, it can be your ticket out of a tight spot.

(Daring proudly twirls her hat on a hoof.)

Hmm.

[She touches her ribbon thoughtfully---beginnings of a rope? Tool of distraction?]

Well I'll be there to patch you all up if it gets a little more dangerous than expected. But it shouldn't at a party, right?
graynbowdash: (My hat can do this!)

(Now you're thinking with portals! She chuckles a little.)

Pretty sure it's not that kind of party. Nah, those are the ones that are so awesome, you can't fully remember what happened.

Still, I appreciate that all the same.
earthlychild: (Pleased)

Got it.

I'll see you soon, Instructor! Don't party too hard.
