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.

(And that's why we leave strategy to the trainers.)

Whatever, forget about it. I need to get out of here... It's getting worse.

Good plan. But you'll probably need to go into the village - I have no idea how far that thing's range is. I'm just gonna... try and bear it for however long it's here for.

[IT'S A TEST, okay?

Even if it brings to mind ghosts, brotherhoods of demonic robots, psychotic hedgehogs and their evil laughter, and planets covered in smoke and fire and steel...

Only half an hour, he said... but why? Do you think the food's worth it?

No. I just refuse to leave just because of some creepy floating black thing.
frustrates: (it's a very good sign)

(Seriously? If there's nothing worth staying for, what's the point in refusing to leave?)

... Hmph. I guess since you're unaffected, it wouldn't matter.

[she'll just start to head off then.]
