25 [Accidental Voice Post]

[The journal flickers on and for a minute or two, there's nothing. Then, James speaks. He seems to be alone, and there's a sense of urgency in his words.]

...Okay. I'll bite. Where's my body gone, Mansion? Mm? Well? Somehow, I don't remember dying recently, so by all reason it should still be here!

[Then, he takes a deep breath. He mutters just under his breath, trying to figure the mystery out himself.]

I can't be dead though. That's not supposed to happen for a few years...right? There's something not right here.

It's not just you, Prongs. Me, too.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

What? It happened to you too? You're...

No, no. There's something not right about this at all. You didn't get killed or anything, did you?

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

No, I don't think so.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Good. You're not allowed, you know. By order of me.

Then...this must be one of those event-things? I know I haven't gone about dying, and since you haven't either, it must be something the Mansion's done.

lol just turned into a book :|

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

Everyone dies eventually, James.

Oh, that's true though. I bet that's what it is I me-----ACK!

OH SNAP.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Don't you worm out of it with your silly logic, Professor Lupin! You, Sirius, Lily, and Peter, I'm banning you all from -

...What just happened? Remus?

[chess-wizard.livejournal.com]

Uh, James?

I really hope you're not dead, because I think I've got a problem....

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure I'm all right. Waking up without a real body is enough to give anyone a scare though!

So, what's wrong Ron?

[chess-wizard.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know how scary waking up without a body can be. Because when I woke up, I was floating about and freaked out a little. And I fell. On my desk.

And now I'm still floaty. And slightly quill-like.

[voice]

[slytherinslie.livejournal.com]

Apparently, the mansion thinks otherwise.

This isn't going to end well.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

...Quill-like? That is a problem. That's pretty impressive though, transfiguring yourself into a quill like that!

Though, lucky for you I happen to excel at Transfiguration so I'm sure I could probably come get you back to normal.

[voice]

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

...Ha. I can't imagine why!

[voice]

[slytherinslie.livejournal.com]

Then perhaps I'll let you find out on your own why you should prefer this ... form.

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

Would you stop calling me that, please?

...James, I think I'm a book.

[voice]

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'll ever be preferring this form, if I can help it.

Of course it'll end well! How much harm can James do? XD

[chess-wizard.livejournal.com]

I... don't know if I actually managed it myself. I'm sort of pants when it comes to Transfiguration.

You're a lifesaver! I don't know how much longer I can keep away from drafts to keep from sailing around the place!

[voice]

[slytherinslie.livejournal.com]

Shame. It suits you quite well.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

It suits you! I can't help it!

...How did you manage that one, Moony? I know you're a bit of a bookworm, but that's a bit much, don't you think?

[voice]

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

I bet it suits you even better.

He'll get confined to his wand and OH GOD I UNDERSTAND THE EVENT NOW, IGNORE MY PREVIOUS COMMENT.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

You have to have a knack for it, I think. You know, the heavens shine upon you and declare at birth that you will be brilliant at Transfiguration, something like that. Lily's like that with Charms.

Right, I'll be there as soon as I get my wan-

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

This isn't at all funny!

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

I think it's hilarious, actually! I might be able to undo it somehow though...it sounds like some kind of transfiguration, after all. Fear not, Moony! I'll save you from your bookish fate!

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

...You know, much as I trust your transfiguration skills maybe that's not the best idea.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Come on! What could possibly go wrong?

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

Loads of things! It's amazing you all didn't kill yourselves trying to become animagi.

POOF

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

But that's that and this is something entirely dif-

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

James?!

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

...I have no idea what happened just now.

I touched my wand, and then...I think I might be my wand. How does that even work?!

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

The same way I happen to be a book.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

But that was hilarious and oddly fitting for you! This is just...strange. ...I wonder if I can still do spells like this?

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't try it.

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

But nothing terrible happens to the wand when a spell is cast, right? Otherwise we'd all be going through wands a lot faster! It couldn't be that bad....

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

But you could cast the wrong spell!

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Or I could cast the right spell and be the amazing human magic wand!

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

I'm really not sure that's the best idea.

[James isn't listening. Again. Instead he's using all his effort to swish his now very stiff arms and fingers about in whatever way will produce some kind of effect.

It isn't long before his fingers begin to shoot little red sparks, and James looks absolutely fascinated.]

Remus, this is spectacular! Look at that! You should try it someday, when you're not a book.

[Yet somehow, it doesn't look the least bit safe.]

[Video]

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

James, really, I think you're --- STOP THAT. You're going to hurt someone!

[Video/Action IDK]

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

But no one's in here but me and I'm fi-

[It seems he waved his arm the wrong way saying that though, and there's a loud BANG that startles James for a second. He seems to have blown a good hole through the wall!

...And he awkwardly waves at Remus, who he can now see just fine through the hole between their rooms.]

Ehehe. Err. ...Hello, Remus. Fancy seeing you there!

Re: [Video/Action IDK]

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

[Remus jumped back from the blast, and oddly a few pages fell onto the floor.

...Now he'd have to put it together again, wouldn't he?]

J-JAMES! I tried to warn you.

Re: [Video/Action IDK]

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Sorry! It didn't look like things were going to explode!

[He'd normally be far more animated, but he had his arms noticeably pinned against his sides, presumably so he couldn't go around exploding anything else. It looked just a bit uncomfortable.]

Re: [Video/Action IDK]

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

Well it never looks like it before it happens!

Re: [Video/Action IDK]

[pottershotter.livejournal.com]

Well, there lies the problem! Things should look more like they're going to explode if they're going to!

Re: [Video/Action IDK]

[oncein-bluemoon.livejournal.com]

Maybe you should tell them that.
