Middle Court Yard

I shake my head, smiling. "I'd have been disappointed if you hadn't done it. It would be so un-Topher."

"Lord knows we could never allow that!"

"It's like some beings higher than ourselves would declare it OOC or something"

I laugh. "Definitely not!"

OOC Yep!

"So hey did you hear the news?"

"Probably not, I've been a bit out of the loop recently," I admit.

"Crouch is back but he's doing this whole 'seen-the-light" act..."

"Oh! Oh!" I raise my hand, feigning excitement. "I call bullshit!" I let my hand drop back to my side. "Seriously, who does he think he's fooling?"

"I don't know, but he's REALLY committed to the act.."

"Utter bullshit," I say, pronouncing the 't' clearly to make my point.

"Tell me about it, but for whatever reason Bryn is givin' him a chance..."

"What the actual hell?" I frown. "Does Bryn remember what happened? Like, any of it?"

"From what I hear yeah... but ... do you think he even COULD change?"

"Crouch? Hell no. Even if he does, I won't trust him."

"Still I mean... Bryn's a pretty smart guy, he probably knows what he's doin'..."

"I trust Bryn, but not Crouch." I seem firm on this. "I've been through too much with Crouch to ever trust him with anything, even if it's just a "Here, hold this for me while I get something out of my bag" moment."

'yeah, but can you IMAGINE how great it would be if Crouch was good again? We'd have like the best advantage ever!"

I look uneasy. "And if he turned on us and it was all a trick?"

'Then we're royally screwed..."

"Might point exactly. I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him."

She had found a nice deserted area standing in front of a nice stretch of wall spray paint cans scattered about her feet. She had been working on an interesting mural of a sort of harmony between the house mascots. Each swirling with their corresponding colours, but in a way that when the sun hit the wall it was a brilliant contrast to the usually dull bricks.

ic 'Sweet.' she commented from behind the girl, expression a mix of awe and fascination. The artwork was brilliant, and Keanna couldn't help but feel a pang of envy at how... clever it was. 'Looks amazing, by the way.'

She grinned looking at Kiki "thank you.. though not as amazing as you... " her eyes travelled along her for moment mischief sparkling behind her eyes "so what sort of trouble should we get up to today? Pretty sure I'm done with this for now."

Almost automatically, a blush crept into her cheeks, smiling lopsidedly. 'and i don't have many ideas these days, things got pretty boring around here..' she admitted, feeling slightly hopeless.

She smirked "well the castle is looking a bit drab... perhaps a part of it needs a true make over.. like and underwater corridor... or something along those lines... sounds fun anyway.." she mused her mind racing through possibilities.

'Well, you know whatever we decide on doing, i'll always be your partner in crime.' she stepped forward, placing them both mere inches apart. 'But yes, everyone's such a buzzkill here, we need to make them lighten up..'
