HufflepuffMeg: Hello there, Mr. Goyle. *quite cheerful* goyle g: ...hello. *a little startled* HufflepuffMeg: How are you on this fine day? goyle g: Me? *blinks* Er. Okay, I guess. You? HufflepuffMeg: Quite well. *grins* HufflepuffMeg: What kind of hobby did you want, anyway? goyle g: That so? *blinks again* Any particular reason? goyle g: Oh.. um. I don't know. goyle g: Something that occupies time? HufflepuffMeg: *chuckles* I'm. Well, I'm not inclined to be unhappy, really. I'm too intrinsically optemistic and cheerful. *shrugs* HufflepuffMeg: You could knit? goyle g: *blinks yet again at "intrinsically"* Well, lucky you. goyle g: And... knit? goyle g: *pictures Crabbe's mocking, and weighs it against having something to do* goyle g: ... you never know, I guess. HufflepuffMeg: Yes! It's a great hobby. Takes up time and has actual results! Plus, you get to carry around long sharp pointy objects and no one asks. HufflepuffMeg: If the Charming Mr. Crabbe mocks you, you could always poke his eye out. HufflepuffMeg: *grins* goyle g: ...hmm. *smiles slightly* Tempting. goyle g: Do you knit? HufflepuffMeg: Not at all. *chipper* goyle g: *laughs* HufflepuffMeg: *sizes you up* You know, I do believe you are quite below average, at this moment. You haven't insulted me once in this entire conversation. *cheeky* goyle g: That so? *thinks for a minute, then raises his eyebrows slightly in suprise* ...amazing. I'm afraid I may have actually gotten to where I'm too lazy to insult you. HufflepuffMeg: *laughs* Perhaps you need more exercise? goyle g: Exercise? *feigns curiosity* What's that? HufflepuffMeg: *patient* You know--jumping jacks, running in place, buying expensive pieces of machinery that you'll never use. goyle g: I think the stairs in this bloody place more than take care of that sort of thing. HufflepuffMeg: Clearly, not enough for you. HufflepuffMeg: ...pudgy. *grins* goyle g: *sighs, exasperated* Isn't it obvious that my muscles are just taking a nap right now? HufflepuffMeg: Oh, right. *nods, cheerfully mocking* They're stealth mucles, hidden away under a layer of flab. goyle g: Exactly. And can you believe you're the first person to realize that? *shakes head, disgusted* People these days. HufflepuffMeg: *pokes you* I'm sure you're just big-boned. *grins* goyle g: *is actually startled again by being poked, and a few seconds pass before he can talk again* Uhm. Quite right. *counts off on his fingers* I'm also barrel chested, and a growing boy. HufflepuffMeg: And a big piece of candy. Can't forget that bit. goyle g: ... HufflepuffMeg: *smiles* goyle g: I'm still completely baffled by that one. HufflepuffMeg: ((brb)) goyle g: ((*nods*)) HufflepuffMeg: You look like you'd be all crunchy, but you're really not. *nods* goyle g: *blink, blink-blink* Crunchy? HufflepuffMeg: Yes. goyle g: (("I was thinking it would be more dark and crunchy." "Like Coco Puffs?")) HufflepuffMeg: ((ahahaha! what's that from?)) HufflepuffMeg: You seem like you'd be a nut, but you're more like a candy. goyle g: ((A friend said the first, about an RPG od their's, and that was my reply. Apparently, it was amusing. ^^; )) HufflepuffMeg: ((heee. ^^)) goyle g: Well, I'm likely nut-ters, though I doubt I'm fruity. HufflepuffMeg: Who said anything about fruit? *grins* goyle g: Er. Well, nobody until now. *laughs* Well, I still don't think I'm a.. "piece of candy", but I can keep an open mind about it. 'Sides, how many nut-like people are there? I don't think there's a lot. HufflepuffMeg: The Charming Mr. Crabbe's rather nutty. goyle g: *grins* That so? HufflepuffMeg: Crunchy all the way through! *proclaims* goyle g: *shakes head* Then, how do you explain the whole Weasley... mess, I guess, that he's gotten mixed up in? HufflepuffMeg: You'd have to be fruity to not love Ginny. *cheeky grin* goyle g: *laughs* HufflepuffMeg: Besides which, the Weasleys are a tasty bunch. Flavorfull. goyle g: You have meta.. *pause* Metaphors, for everything, do you? HufflepuffMeg: Just as you are a deliberate and perhaps slightly crunchy-on-the-outside candy. *grins* goyle g: *quizzical look* What are you, then? HufflepuffMeg: I am a Pink Marshmallow Peep. goyle g: *...stares* goyle g: ...oh. How... odd, of you. HufflepuffMeg: ...Really? goyle g: Well, wouldn't it be difficult to be a marshmallow peep? Everybody seems to wants to poke them, or bite their heads off. HufflepuffMeg: Hm. True. But, they're soft and sweet and cuddly, as far as candy goes. goyle g: ...oh. *shrugs* Well, I can't say I'd argue with that, 's far as I know, anyway. HufflepuffMeg: *considers* Though, I could always be a red bean mochi dumpling. goyle g: ...oh? *blinks* What the bloody hell's that? HufflepuffMeg: It's... Japanese, I think. It's this rice-flour thing filled with sweet red bean paste and it's quite delicious. goyle g: Really? Hrmm. Well then, another thing to have to try some day. HufflepuffMeg: *nods* HufflepuffMeg: *curious* You don't metaphor people? goyle g: ...no, not really. Maybe it's because I don't know that much about people. They can be awfully unpredictable. HufflepuffMeg: I think most people can be surprising, but people are habit-driven, usually, so... goyle g: *shrugs* I wouldn't know. HufflepuffMeg: I understand. You do, after all, have to exert a lot of energy to keep those muscles hidden. goyle g: *grins* Of course. HufflepuffMeg: So you're forgiven for being oblivious. *g* goyle g: Oh, lucky me. HufflepuffMeg: Yes, yes you are. *smiles* goyle g: *derisive snort* Oh? Why's that? Simply because I'm forgiven for being oblivious? HufflepuffMeg: Clearly it's because you're spending time with me, my dear Mr. Goyle. *still smiling* goyle g: ... goyle g: ...hmm. goyle g: ....*sighs, exasperated, and smiles at her wryly* HufflepuffMeg: *grins outright* goyle g: ...I still hate you, by the way. *obviously lying* HufflepuffMeg: Oh, of course. That's the arrangement, isn't it? goyle g: ...erk. HufflepuffMeg: *quirks an eyebrow* Erk? goyle g: ...yes? HufflepuffMeg: What kind of noise is that? *curious, amused* goyle g: One you use when your brain turns into pudding? HufflepuffMeg: ...*reproachful* You didn't tell me you were a pudding. goyle g: *chiding* Well, I wasn't until just recently, so it's news to me too. Any grand metaphors on what type of pudding it is? HufflepuffMeg: Well, I'm assuming chocolate, but you might make a nice tapioca. goyle g: Wouldn't know. 's pretty hard to tell, brain-pudding being pretty damnable well hidden and all. HufflepuffMeg: Hm. *considers* Almost definitely tapioca, then. HufflepuffMeg: It's a closer match to the color, at any rate. *sly grin* goyle g: Well, I've been told I'm full of crap, so I wouldn't be too sure about color. goyle g: *bland smile* HufflepuffMeg: *bursts out laughing* HufflepuffMeg: I'm sure they meant to say that you were full of stealth muscle. *still chuckling* goyle g: *sheepish grin* HufflepuffMeg: Well, as much as I have enjoyed our encounter, I must be off. *grins* goyle g: *nods* Certainly. HufflepuffMeg: Goodnight! goyle g: G'night.
