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.

I would.

[Ruffles his head.] You aren't too monstrous to me, eh? But I come from a family of monsters. We're the best.

A... family? There's more people... like you?
fierybluebird: (brothers)

Well, I'm the only phoenix, but Jozu is made of diamond, Ace was made of fire, and Pops was five times my size and could cause earthquakes. And Blamenco pulls hammers out of pockets on his chin, and Namur's a fishman and --

Point is, we're all monsters in our own way, but we're all family too.

[He's just staring at Marco now in amazement, completely with jaw slightly agape. That was not at all what he expected.]

...Wow...
fierybluebird: (Don't worry I've got this)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-23 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wry grin.]

Like I said, we're the best, eh.
corruptedsouls: (I'll never fight again)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-24 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
You are. I... didn't think anyone else... was like that...
fierybluebird: (soft glance)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-24 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Lots of us. But if everyone hides, it's hard to find each other, eh?
corruptedsouls: (Breathe into me)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-08-25 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
...I guess that's true... but there were never any like that where I'm from...
fierybluebird: (Something on your mind?)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-26 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
None at all? Just you?
fierybluebird: (soft glance)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-08-30 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
Well, now you've got me, eh. So you're not alone anymore.
fierybluebird: Giving a one winged hug (one-winged hug)

[personal profile] fierybluebird 2012-09-04 11:34 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely. Us monsters should stick together, right?
corruptedsouls: (C'mon and light the fuse)

[personal profile] corruptedsouls 2012-09-05 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
...Right...!

[He manages a very faint, weak smile, but it's clear it's more because the expression feels strange on his face than anything else.]
