The Inspection

On the whole, the weather had been temperamental lately. One minute, it was absolutely bucketing it down, and the next, it was bright sunshine. The amount of rain had turned the ground into a muddy mess, but at least the tents provided perfectly adequate shelter, and a gazebo had been erected over the community dining table to protect everyone from the elements.

Despite the temperamental weather, however, it had been fairly warm throughout the past two weeks, so the chill in the air during dinner that evening was particularly noticeable, even before the dark, hooded figure by the Ministry's representative's desk had been seen.

Nervously, the Ministry representative approached the table.

"I'm afraid we have a visitor," he said, addressing everyone at the table and hoping that anyone not there could hear him. "This is a Dementor, one of the Guards at Azkaban. It's a high security prison. He's just here to, well, ensure that a certain escaped criminal isn't hiding amongst you.

"I don't expect he'll be here for more than an half an hour, so do try not to worry too much. They can make people rather, well... uncomfortable."

Bowing his head slightly, he left the Outsiders to their meal.

[And so, a Dementor is lurking around the camp, just in case one of the Outsiders is secretly Sirius Black. They're known to sap the happiness out of the environment, and - in cases where there are true horrors in someone's past - cause traumatic memories to resurface.

The chilly, depressed feeling can be lifted by the deliciousness of chocolate, though the Outsiders will need to discover this on their own. Good thing there's dessert.

EVERYONE FLOCKS TO THE WOOBIE apparently

[Uh? A voice not like the others draws the boy out of his fit, a softly wheezed breath coming from him as the screaming tapers off midway. He turns, looking up at the speaker now, barely drawing a breath with eyes that would be more appropriate on a wounded rabbit.

As Tim stayed still, so did he, apparently unsure whether to run or scream again.]

of course!

[Well, that was better. Even if nothing else was.]

Look, I know it's bad. But screaming isn't making anything better, is it?

You'll just make everyone feel worse if you carry on like that.

...

[He simply looks confused now, as if the concept of "everyone" doesn't register in his head rather than any actual malice.]

[It's so cold it's hard to move and the atmosphere is so heavy it's even harder to care. But he tries, standing slowly and moving toward the boy on the ground.]

Can you stand up?
corruptedsouls: (And he's ready to go)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-20 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods in response, but doesn't actually stand, tilting his head confusedly at the other male.]

Don't... want to...

[He shakes his head, even manages a faint smile]

Found some loose change you have to have, then? Because you're not really hidden down there.

No. I... just like... being on dirt...
