The Black Lake

My eyes narrow and I give him the most furious of stares, "Say goodnight... AVADA KEDAVRA!!"

And then Moriarty died and Sherlock lived happily ever after. Lolnope. He wishes.

Jim dives forward onto the grass to avoid it. His expression fills with fury as he stands agaim. "You. Made. Me. Get. My. Suit. Covered. In. GRASS." He gestures at his clothing, which is indeed coated in pieces of torn grass and mud.

"Crucio!" he shrieks.

"Such vanity... it nauseating... "

I grin crazily, "But good to know you're up for some fun now." I send my own crucio after side stepping his.

OOC: I figured Jim and Crouch would either be best friends or complete enemies.

IC: He allows the spell to hit. He stays standing - the though of getting any more mud on the Westwood is sickening - and...

... he laughs.

He laughs through the pain. He smiles. He grins. "Oh, Crouchy..." His voice shakes with both laughter and agony. "Surely you should realise that I'm not bothered by s-such... a spell..."

OOC The way I figure it, it's basically beauty and the beast. Crouch has no care for things like appearance and image or control, opting to use chaos and overpowering. But Jim is more about controlled chaos vs straight-up anarchy.

IC

"I'll admit, my abilities aren't at their prime right now. If they were you'd be begging for death. But seeing as they aren't..." I shrug indifferently, "Just means I get to draw this out longer."

OOC Also doesn't help their first meeting was when Crouch was in a battle craze.

OOC: I can imagine what it would have been like if they'd met on more suitable terms.
"Let's rule Hogwarts yaaaaay BFFs!"

IC: "I never beg," Jim gasps, smirking.

I laugh insanely and walk over to him and kick him over, "I feel as though I'd been issued a challenge."

Despite the new addition of mud on his suit, Jim smiles and blinks at him lazily. "Of course, dear Crouchy. One rival is simply not enough for me. One might say I'm greedy."

"You're stalling, but nonetheless I'm intrigued..."

Jim gets to his feet again, still giving Crouch that odd smile. Except now it's tainted with a bit of disappointment. "Intrigued? Not enough. Understand. That's why Sherlock is the better rival."

"There's that name again. Sherlock. Why do I keep hearing it?"

"Sherlock Holmes, the consulting detective. Jim Moriarty, the consulting criminal. I am the more exciting one; he's on the side of the angels."

I burst into insane laughter, "You restrict yourself to a single foe? I see no we're no where near the same level."

"I don't bind myself to any singular adversary. That's why the world exist. The world needs an enemy, that's where I came in."

Having heard the commotion outside, Krystal had run around the school looking for her brother. 'Its happening.'
It was all she had to say. Tomas took her hand and stood up, getting out his wand and draggind her outside.
Kry hung back slightly, but tomas smiled at her. 'Come on, sis. You promised Bryn. besides this is where you belong. at your families side.'
She nodded, following him down to the lake to join the fight.

He groans and slaps his forehead with his hand. "I never said Sherlock was my only foe, idiot! I just issued you a challenge, did I not?!"

I turn to look at them, "More have come to join us..."

She stiffened slightly as she stared back at crouch. 'Looks like your outnumbered, crouch.'

Jim: "Big bloody joy," he snarls at Crouch.

Jay: Phoenix is out of the way now. She's not in Crouch's firing line. That's fine. He silently goes to stand beside his friend.

I chuckle insanely, "As if numbers make a difference before me."

'They should. even you are not unbeatable, crouch.' Krystal says quietly.

There is a light laugh from the trees, and Lethe jumps down, standing near to Crouch. 'Nor are you, apparely. And Junoirs not alone in this anyway.'

Jim: He tilts his head in Phoenix's direction. "She would know that he's not 'unbeatable'." He smirks cruelly.

Crouch: "Good of you to join us Lethe..." Upon hearing what Jim said I turn to him with a scowl, "What do you know?"

Topher and Joachim: "Hey!"

Topher: "Didn't think we'd miss this party did you?"

'You expected me to miss the party, Junoir?' She gets out her wand and points it at the new arivals. 'Oh, look, new prey.'

Jim: He grins. "I know all about Crouch and the Tomb. One hears things when one shadows Kitten."

Crouch: "Please... it doesn't matter what you know, what does is that I'm going to defeat you ALL here."

Artemis and Artisan arrive as well

Artemis: "Don't bet on it Crouch, your evil days here are finally at an end."
