>How the hell do those two things have anything to do with one another?

Depending on how cutely she pouts I just might cave and give her the dress anyway. Still, dream is something to talk to Kerry about.

Also, I just realized that all of you turned down the "Knowledge" origin. MFW, you idiots. The eyes are nice, but do you realize what you turned down? We could have gotten the "Universal Language"! Remember that one guy in KnK that could "convince" people of anything by speaking it? The guy who pretty much curbstomped Shiki because he said "You will lose sight of me here" and she did? Yeah him, we could have been him. We could have been able to talk total shit and people would still believe us like it was the Word of Fucking God!

Course, that would also land us with a sealing designation at some point but hey, the eyes'll do that too if the Clock Tower gets wind of it.

The whole Origin choice was bullshit anyway.
The Eyes are a completely abstract from Origins, Nanaya had them by literally dying, and Ryougi got them through hereditary means and a fucking coma.
And if our origin were truly to "Be the death of things" we'd have turned into a crazy killer, like Lio Shirazumi was.
Remember Lio Shirazumi?
After he got his origin unlocked he turned into a drug taking serial killer?
Shit, he didn't even gain any super special powers like us, he got jump good, slight regeneration, and he could eat a ton of shit.
At a cost of his sanity, his hair color, his personality, and even his fucking personality.
I don't know where OP got the fucking clue that Origins ever got you Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, but I can tell you if someone's origin truly was "To be the death of things" and it had been unlocked.
Shit, as Harry Potter woke up from his couple-day coma, he'd have slaughtered everyone in the hospital, simply due to that Origin.

>>24732196
>How the hell do those two things have anything to do with one another?
Insert indignation.

>>24732196
>How the hell do those two things have anything to do with one another?

>>24732635
The origin influences you, it does not control you. If awakened to it it becomes something of an OCD for you. You can't not do X, because X is your origin. Indeed, it might be impossible to defy it even if you don't know it.

The reason Lio began to lose his shit is because all the previous incarnations of that origin had been predatory beasts of some kind. Thus, as time passed he became more and more like them. Strong, fast, agile, and driven by the instinctual need to feed.

The only thing Harry's origin will compel him to do, by comparison, is make use of those lines every so often. We're planning on doing that anyway so it really won't affect our behavior.

>Continue Zelretch tangent, distract her.

Harry Potter, master of subterfuge

>>24732744
>The reason Lio began to lose his shit is because all the previous incarnations of that origin had been predatory beasts of some kind
And what sort of previous incarnation of "To be the death of things" would be better?

Again, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are a totally different concept to Origins.
You gain them by being immersed in death, and I highly doubt that Harry had the inheritance gift that Ryougi did.

>>24732796
No, but he did, you know, get Avada Kedavra'd back when he was a toddler. Might have something to do with it.

>>24732818
Nanaya would have gone insane if it was not for the glasses, and even then he was protected by his mother.
Unless you're proposing he actually died and Lily brought him back to life.

>>24732796
>Vold fires insta-kill spell, spell hits harry, mommy pulls magic bs so that she dies instead of him.

Yeah, should about cover it. Totally IC reason for him to have the eyes.

>>24732843
Possible.
Problem there being is that HE DIDN'T GET THEM THEN.

Oh man, spoke too soon. Hello there Mr. Chaos. Doing well?

>Continue Zelretch tangent, distract her.

>>24732863
Does it really fucking matter?

Do you really have to get this mad over the internet?

Is it really worth shitting up the thread?

Are we really gonna have this discussion EVERY THREAD from here on out? It's done. It happened. Does it make sense? Not really, all things considered, but it's far too late to just retcon it away now.

>>24732796
Harry got hit with a spell that's effect is flat out "You die." ALL other ways of killing do so indirectly by causing things which then lead to death, like Diffindo could cut someone's throat and then they bleed out. Avada Kedavra is the only spell in existence that, like the MEoDP, simply causes the target to stop living. Being hit by that has to be the purest case of "being immersed in death" ever.

>>>24732196
>How the hell do those two things have anything to do with one another?
Then give in to
>Yes

>>24732895
What this anon said. I'm kinda getting tired of that particular argument.

>>24732896
>>24732894
You gained the eyes after that had happened, it's perfectly possibly he could have got them at that stage.
However, he didn't.
Nor are you feeling the effects of an awakened origin enough.

>>24732863
>>24732938

We know jack shit about the ritual, could have sealed them until Origin awakening broke it because he must be "The Death of Things" and boy do those eyes allow for that.

But when do things die? Must they not live for a time before they die? We only have to kill things "eventually", thus, the origin will not be a major constraint on behavior. Just don't go more than a few days without killing something or we might have a fit.

"Illya, how the hell do those two things have anything to do with one another?"

Illya gives you a confused look, as if the question isn't quite parsing. She looks to you, and then looks back to the dress. And then she looks up, the gears in her mind turning as she tries to figure out why she thought the existance of an Ancient Wizard Zelretch had anything to do with her dress. Madame Malkin guides here to one of the chairs, and starts taking her measurements for her Hogwarts robes.

"Please," she pouts.

You frown at her.

She throws you a look that would not have been out of place on a puppy that Dudley and his gang had been kicking around.

Your frown intensifies.

"Pretty please?" she all but begs.

Madame Malkin turns to you, clearly beguiled under whatever bizarre witchcraft Illya was employing. "It does suit her..."

"Fine..." you say. "Fine."

Illya nearly jumps out of the seat when you give in to give you a hug. Key word being nearly - she gets too caught in a tangle of cloth to actually succeed. Madame Malkin rights her back up, and continues her work.

"So what houses ddo you think you two are going to be in?"

You...
>Ask what a house is.
>Pretend that you know what she's talking about.
>Reflect the question to Illya as petty vengeance.
>[OTHER]

>>24732982
>We know jack shit about the ritual, could have sealed them until Origin awakening broke it
And what sort of magician would be able to conjure that up?
Aoko stole Mystic Eye Killers glasses, ones so strong even Arcueid couldn't break them.
What sort of ritual would ever be able to mimic that effect to such a degree that one of the greatest soul based spells, the awakening of the origin, would be the only thing that could break it?

>>24733009
>Ask what a house is.

Well I've recently been taken in by Illya's parents so I'm currently living in their house...

>>24733009
>Ask what a house is
Specifically
>What?

>>24733016
A sacrifice of life? (Harry's mother, in this case)

>>24733009
>Reflect the question to Illya as petty vengeance.

Sweet blueberry fuck if we're bickering this much already just wait 'til OP sinka the Kitty Hawk.

>>24733016
Not the only thing, but something that *would* do it. And the glasses could already kill mystic eyes, Aoko just made them literally unbreakable for lulz. She didn't really "power them up" as it were.

>>24733009
>Ask what a house is.
IC we don't know shit, so they get a nice big "Hu-wha?"

>>24733056
A sacrifice from one of the most talented witches in the HPverse, I might add.

WOO!

>24733009
>Pretend that you know what she's talking about.

>Atreides

>>24733016
Given how Lily's sacrifice could stop an unblockable death I don't think it unreasonable that it could delay the awakening of eyes of death.

ANYWAY GUYS I AM DISTRESSED
In the previous thread Illya said
>"And it's because I'm so small, isn't it," she grates. "That I'm not and will never be some -cow-."
Is this implying that she has the same growth/lifespan issues from canon FSN or does she just somehow know that she's not going to have big breasts somehow?

>>24733056
>>24733079
A sacrifice is only good with direction.
The only person that could sufficiently seal off the root was Souren Araya, master of bounded fields, although he could do so without use of sacrifice of a life.
He lived over 300 years, all of it devoted to the magic of the soul.

>>24733072
>And the glasses could already kill mystic eyes, Aoko just made them literally unbreakable for lulz. She didn't really "power them up" as it were.
They were still made by Touko Aozaki, an EXPERT on Mystic eyes, and someone who could fight equally with a caster from the age of the gods.

>>24733105
>Given how Lily's sacrifice could stop an unblockable death I don't think it unreasonable that it could delay the awakening of eyes of death.
Simply out of PLOT then?
That's sure some good writing there.

>>24733105
Or it could be, you know, she's a girl. And worried about her looks.

>>24733105
I'M IN DESPAIR! ILLYA'S SMALL BREASTS HAVE LEFT ME IN DESPAIR!

>>24733105
I don't think she'll have any problems, she was grown up in the dream after all. She's just worried she's gonna have a DFC for the rest of her life and that Harry's into Cowtits, thus won't really like her. It's insecurity. Which makes little sense as her mother's rack wasn't all that bad so she'll get some boobage.

>>24733150
Indeed, ignore the man who is hammering this sign down our throats.

>>24733009
>>Ask what a house is.

It could also be because she's, y'know, ten years old.

>>24733150

I just don't think you've read up enough on the Nasuverse.

>>24733016
a mommy's sacrifice

I've never fully played FSN or read/watched all the HP movies, but I know you should stop giving a fuck already dude. We can't retcon it by now, and the world is ultimately the GM's, who can slightly alter the Eye's requirements slightly to work properly with us as they see fit. There's no point in continuing to argue, it won't make our Origin Space for those cool perspective powers.

>>24733182
>Indeed, ignore the man who is hammering this sign down our throats.
If I was doing that then I'd be complaining about how you had Gandalf and Zelretch as the teachers of Harry Potter.
I honestly have nothing against this quest aside from a few errors in consistence with the Nasuverse.

>>24733162

Please. Please stop. I'm asking really nicely. Please?

>>24733162
Yeah. There's only 5 of those and they are fuck you flashy and powerful. You KNOW when somebody's using a true magic. So which one did we see?

>>24733253
Sure, I wasn't planning on continuing this all thread anyway.

>>24733262
>There's only 5 of those and they are fuck you flashy and powerful.
Whoa, wait a second.
Half of the True Magics aren't even fleshed out.
Only the Fifth, Third, and second are.
And none of them are inherently flashy at all.

Jesus christ what is it about the Nasuverse specifically that brings out the spergs going on about the exact details of x piece of lore and if you deviate even slightly from it then you're shitting all over the story?

CONSIDER THIS
IF NASUVERSE AND POTTERVERSE MAGIC CO-EXIST THEN LOGICALLY NOT ALL THE RULES CAN BE QUITE THE SAME

Now everyone shut up about it my god.

>>24733262
>>24733223
Dude created something (parchment) out of nothing, which, if memory serves, falls under the purview of the First True Magic. Or my memory for the Magics is shit.

>>24733316
>IF NASUVERSE AND POTTERVERSE MAGIC CO-EXIST THEN LOGICALLY NOT ALL THE RULES CAN BE QUITE THE SAME
If you noticed, he wasn't arguing about magic at all.

>>24733316
>that one guy that starts shouting after the argument
welcome to the thread

>>24733322
Or he might have just conjured it from his study, via Potterverse spell, and it was interpreted as a True Magic by someone who wasn't versed in "normal" wizardry.

>>24733316
It's got a very strict system of rule magic, which is cool to read about, but a BITCH to GM in because all it takes is that one guy who knows more about the setting and won't just roll with it, to make it impossible to run.

>>24733345
Potterverse magic frequently conjures shit up out of nothing, though. It's in literally every book.

>>24733322
It's implied that Shirou's reality marble is a deteriorated form of some higher magecraft or magic, which may be what you're referring to, but to be perfectly honest nothing from that was confirmed at all, so it could be a deteriorated form of the first magic, or simply a magecraft only heard about in legend.

>>24733325
>If you noticed, he wasn't arguing about magic at all.

Magic, psychics powers, wierd setting specific powers, who gives a shit. The merger of two settings with different setting specific things inherently means that at least some rules must be different.

>>24733408
Did you even read the argument?
The said "magic" he was taking about wasn't influenced at all by the HPverse.

>>24733390
"out of nothing" is kind of an odd phrasing. Remeber how Hermione was a bookworm, and started spouting off this "can't create something out of nothing" spiel? I think it was in the sixth book.

Anyway, it's supposedly one of the Laws of Magic or something that you can't create out of nothing, there has to be something to start with. You can't make food from nothing, but if you have food already, you can duplicate it. Stuff like that.

>>24733422
>The said "magic" he was taking about wasn't influenced at all by the HPverse.
You of course have a deep understanding of the metaphysical laws of this combined universe and what things are affected by what.

I'm done with this discussion, waiting for more posts by professor chaos.

"I shall be a member of House Atreides," You declare with great pomp and circumstance. "And all Hogwarts will know: THE SPICE SHALL FLOW UNENDING!"

Illya giggles.

"Sorry," she says, "We don't know what you're talking about."

"Ah, you're muggle borns, are you," Madame Malkin says a wistfully. Her sewing doesn't even miss a beat as she carries on in the conversation - she's clearly had god knows how many years carrying on small talk with her patrons. "There are Four Houses that they'll split you up into when you arrive - Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin."

With each word, she gives a flick of her wand, and the ghostly images of four animals fly out of it. First, a golden lion prances across the room, shedding crimson sparks like loose fur. Next, a black badger trudges behind it sturdily, leaving behind yellow paw prints. A deep blue and white raven follows it, and lastly is a snake of forest green and silver scales.

"Gryffindor," she points to the lion, "is the house of the brave. Not exactly known for their wisdom, though."

"Hufflepuff," the badger waves, "is the house of the loyal and hard working. Students from it tend to be either extraordinary in all they do, or scrape along the average."

"Ravenclaw," the raven flutters around Illya's head, "is the house of wisdom. Very bookish folk, those people, but you'll rarely find anyone smarter."

"Slytherin," the snake slithers around your head, "is the house of cunning and ambition. Always wind up going into politics, those ones."

You decide that you want to be in...

Indeed. If you have dirt you can transmute it into anything of equal mass. Equivalent Exchange, you sac prana and this dirt for a turkey. It all balances out. Something came out of something else, hell, you could even transmute air into shit, just gonna need a lot of air as it ain't got much mass.

>>24733433
Then explain how spells that spontaneously make a bouquet of flowers or a group of birds or a snake spout from your wand work. These spells are apparently commonplace in the Potterverse. They clearly create something out of nothing since there is no Transfigurations involved. Perhaps these ARE low-grade copies, but these are STILL being created out of nothing if the original remains intact.

Those are, arguably, Projection.
More interesting is Transfiguration. If my (admittedly weak) inderstanding of the Nasuverse is correct, turning a cat into a cup and back, without killing the cat, would be classified as Magic, rather than Magecraft, because it's not possible to achieve through non-magical/thaumaturgical means.

It's occurred to me looking at how the numbers seem to work in our statblock. With it being roll equal to or under on 3d6, if we had both the stat and skill at A rank it would be impossible to fail.

Servants are broken bastards. Some things we wouldn't even be allowed to roll for that a servant would because of that. You can't run at 50mph no matter how high your agility and athletics score are. If the servant makes a good roll, they can.

You're torn, you're very torn. On the one hand, scheming and plotting in the background while people's eyes are on other, more obvious targets is totally your joint, and you love doing that. On the other hand, a house of people loyal to their friends - and thus not assholes like Dudley and his merry band of cowards - is something that you not so secretly want to be a part of. And really, who would expect the House of Normal to have a schemer in their midst?

Really, there is only one choice.

"If we get to choose," you say, "then I shall be..."

You pause, making a grandiose gesture with your hand, as to say that your a bringing the full force of your will down upon this decision, and damn anyone who would deny you to the depths of hell. You clench your fist, and declare your favored House.

"The first of House Atreides!"

Madame Malkin bursts into a a giggling fit. Illya gives you a blank stare filled with a potent mixture of annoyance and amusement.

"Harry, Atreides isn't even an option?"

You determination intensifies.

"The spice must flow, Illya," you decree. "The spice must flow."

After a good few laughs all around, you walk out of the shop 10 galleons lighter than you were and two bags of uniform robes and one frilly white dress heavier than you had been. You asked her about the Dracovests that the cool looking redheaded Indiana Jones was talking about, but apparently they don't make any of those in children's sizes, so you'll have to go without.

It is approaching three O'clock. Your next destination is...

It's an experience based, point buy system. I'm trying to balance things at "Average Joe = 100 points"

It costs an increasing amount of points to but higher ranked Attributes, as they apply to a broad range of skills. Skills each cost 2 points per rank, with 0 points to be untrained and have an effective rank of F. You generally know a number of mysteries equal to your rank in a particular type of Magecraft.

You can designate almost any skill you want as a combat skill, though some can only be used to determine your defense score. Your defense score, is [Combat Skill Rating] - 10, to a minimum of 0. To hit someone, you first have to roll against your [Combat Skill Rating], and then find the difference. [CSR-Roll] is greater than zero, compare it to their defense score - the higher of the two wins.

Wounds are dealt based upon the weapon you use. As a MEoDP user, you always deal a number of wounds equal to [CSR-Roll] when you hit.

It's a bit crunchy, though, I'm thinking of lightening the maths, though I'm not quite sure how to go about that.

Your trip to the Magical Menagerie is about as eventful as all of the other shopping that you've been getting out of the way today so that you won't have to do it again for a looo~ong while. That is to day, you bump into a few colorful looking people - literally, mind you, as they were dressed in the technicolor fashion abortions that Wizards think muggles walk around in - and find it nestled between its top competitor, Eeylop's Owl Emporium, and Wiseacre's Wizarding Supplies.

Stepping into the store, your nose is assaulted by the various interesting smells of animals living their day to day lives mixed with the pinesol scent of rotting wood chips. It is surprising similar to a muggle store - much like any pet shop, it has aisles of cages large and small, housing animals of all shapes and sizes.

It's oddly depressing in the same way those are, now that you think about it. Especially since the cages are barred instead of glass.

Several other young witches and wizards are scurrying about the aisles, begging their parents to let them take home a familiar. Most parents seems only content to let their children gawk at the critters, though some do let them pick a bird, or cat, or dog.

Speaking of dogs...

"PUPPIES!" Illya's eyes light up when she sees the pen, strategically located right infront of the store. There are all manner of adorable little doglets, that you have no doubt she should not be allowed to bring home to Heracles.

You join Illya for a very brief moment to play with the puppies - their inherent adorability is not something that a ten year old boy is well equipped to resist. Getting one is very tempting indeed, as the cute balls of fur and fluff with their little bobbed tails and big droopy eyes will one day grow to be a large, powerful, adorable beast of wrath and protection.

You hug one. It licks your nose.

Putting it down before you do something that will inevitably cramp on Illya's position as "small person with big, badass, friendly dog," you leave to take a look at the birds.

There are rows and rows of gilded cages, containing majestic and powerful figures of the avian variety. Owls, hawks, doves, sparrows, albatrosses, all the myriad species of bird you could have thought of and more rest within this aisle. Most are asleep, letting the days of their captivity slip by them.

A few, however, catch your eye. A majestic eagle that wouldn't have been out of place on an American propaganda poster. A brown hawk with spotted wings meets your eye, showing you its nature as a hunter of prey. A dove seems to bow as you walk by it, causing you to double take to make sure you weren't halucinating. A beautiful white Owl, that seems oddly familiar for some reason.

You go to the...

You approach the hawk. It casts a discerning glance your way, as if trying to take your measure. You reach out to the cage, and brushes against the bar.

"Caw Caw," it screetches, though that isn't quite the right onomodopoeia.

"So, are you a smart little guy?"

It gives you an offended look. Apparently, it doesn't appreciate being called a little fellow or something along those lines.

"Alright, you're a smart big guy, then?"

It doesn't nod, which is somewhat disappointing. It doesn't really need to nod, though - its approval is conveyed through more than anything a mere gesture would have been able to tell you.

"Caw. Caw." Again with the incorrect onomodopoeia.

"You know," you tell it, "If you're the fellow I'm gonna be bringing back with me, you're going to need to correct that. Hawks don't go 'Caw caw' like that -" You flap your arms for emphasis. "That's more like a crow - and those are filthy scavengers. You wouldn't want to be compared to a scavenger now, would you?"

If it didn't have a beak, you'd imagine it would be pouting.

"I thought not."

"Caw," it squeaks, begrudgingly.

Snake snakes are cool.

Why are you guys so dead-set on getting a bird? We can't take it with us to our room at Hogwarts (I'm assuming, since that's what happened to Hedwig), and if we need to send mail we can just use a school owl. We should get something we can take with us everywhere.

>>24735127
Might as well see what else they have in the bird department

>>24735245
A valid point, but we won't be at hogwarts forever. Birds (or anything that can fly really) are the best familiars because of flight and recon. Also, Eagles, Hawks, and Falcons are capable of fighting other creatures and generally ruining another person's day because talons are sharp.

You decide to leave the bird section of the Menagerie behind for the time being, and take a look at the other sorts of animals they have for pets. Your meanderings lead you over to the snakes, which from what you can hear seems to be pretty popular, despite the general stigma society has for reptiles.

You are very surprised to find the aisle nearly empty, despite all the chatter.

"'Ey, cholo, come 'on!" A voice says from somewhere to your left. "Whysss you leaving me hangin man? How did old Esssmerelda get her sssweet assss adopted by one of thessse humansss?"

"SSSilence you Brazzzilian cur!" another says, apparently from behind one of the cages. "SSShe wasss not asss vulgar asss your impudent tongue isss. Perhapsss if you ssshut up about adopssshon, then thessse humansss will onssse more sssee what a sssuperior familiar our breed isss!"

"You mean thisss isss my fault!" the former shouts.

"You can't know that, sssilly," this voice comes from across the second, and seems to be reprimanding it. It is much more high pitched than the others, sort of reminding you of Illya, or Hermione. "Sssweety, it'sss not your fault the humansss don't like sssnakesss any more. I've read their papersss... the lassst ssspeaker wasss a bad apple."

This isn't really a question. And like many things its mostly the fault of the abrahamic religions having humanity cast from paradise because of a snake.

Before that however, they were largely regarded as charmed, even having healing abilities or immortality due to the shedding of their skins (see Gilgamesh)

"It goes a bit further beyond that, actually," you tell the girly voice, "Humans, at least in Europe and the Middle East, haven't been all that fond of snakes for quite some time." You start pacing the cages, looking for where the voices are coming from. "At least as far back as the Bible - actually, no, even further than that. The first hero of the world, according to legend, slew the first snake."

You're not entirely sure why Kiritsugu drilled that little fact into your head - he never went into any of the other part's of Gilgamesh's epic, just that...

"That'sss troubling..." the refined sounding fellow hisses. "To think that sssuch animosssity hasss exisssted... perhapsss that isss why the old onesss made the ssspeakersss."

"It'sss jussst a legend, cholo." the snake says. "Itsss not like knowing thisss one way or the other changesss thingsss between usss and the humansss..." One of the snakes in the cages that you're staring at turns its head towards you.

"Ssso cholo, you a ssspeaker then? What'sss your name?"

You blink. The darting of the snake's tongue was in perfect timing with the voice that just spoke to you. The snake's head tilts, as if in expectation of an answer.

Oh bloody hell the snakes can talk.

You jolt back from the cages in shock. Holy balls, the snakes can talk.

"Holy balls, you're a talking snake!" You all but yell, pointing at the golden scaled creature that had adressed you as "cholo," whatever the hell that meant.

"Holy ballsss," the snake responds... deadpanning, you think? "A talking human."

"But... but..." you stammer out. "How... you don't... you can talk!"

"Yesss, I can talk, cholo," the snake tilts its head the other way. "Been doing it sssince I wasss born, in fact - my breed hasss alwaysss been essspecially fluent in the Parssseltongue..." It flicks its tale back towards its cage, in a gesture that quite plainly tells you to stop freaking out and embrace your snake filled destiny. "What'sss more interesssting isss how you are a ssspeaker."

"Sorry?" you ask. "Speaker, what the heck does that mean?"

"It meansss you can ssspeak!" the happy sound girl snake chimes in.

"What ssshe sssaid," the golden snake nods, "Not many humansss possssessss the gift to ssspeak the Parseltongue. Not many humansss indeed. You ssshould feel honored, cholo."

"Excuse me," an older girl rounds the corner - she's got an apron over some surprisingly fashionable muggle clothes, and a shock of pink hair. A badge is pinned to the apron, reading 'Hi, I'm TONKS'. "Sorry kid, I could have sworn I heard someone scream back here or something."

She grins at the way you're practically hanging onto the cage.

Stopping 9/11 would be pretty fuckin' badass but there is no way we'll end up in new york at the right time.

>>24736721
Well, unless you count the earlier stuff by Palm or Blackberry, the first modern smartphones probably won't start happening until 2007, with the Iphone

>>24736783
Limewire? Hell, napster is probably still around

>>24736792
On the flip side, Kerry doesn't know much about Potterverse magic. These books could very well be for his benefit as well as Harry's.

Sadly, she's a bit old for us. Admittedly, she was a bit YOUNG for Lupin, so we could always give it a shot in a few years, but still...

>>24736792
Not if we get a good scrying orb or something similar. Plus, he's got a few months with Kerry before this happens. Once he gets the basics of Nasuverse magical SCIENCE we can work on cracking the anti-tech field around Hogwarts. Once that's done Kerry is just a phone call away.

How bout pokemon cards?

>>24736814
Yes, but Potterverse doesn't know much about Nasuverse either, so since we'll be out of contact with Kerry for longer, we should take advantage of what he has to offer.

I mean, Hufflepuff is like 50% about being nice.

Like, where Ravenclaw has "smart" and "inquisitive", Slytherin has "ambitious", Gryffindor has "courageous", Hufflepuff is basically a split between "industrious" and "being a pretty cool guy".

>>24736880
Hufflepuff is split between "industrious" and "useless."

>>24736880
dont forget the gender imbalance. Hufflepuff is like, 3/4ths female

>>24736880
I'm tempted to vote Hufflepuff now just because of Tonks. Damnit.

Hufflepuff could replace their badger with this thing, and it would be pretty accurate.

>>24736921
>You are now imagining Harry assembling a Harem if he gets into Hufflepuff.

>>24736909
>>24736880
Hufflepuff is split between Cedric, Tonks, and useless.

Get some wizards to work with Wizards to print Magic with magic.

>>24736928
It would only be for a year, dude. Not worth it.

Nope, Justice didn't get big until 2003.

"Oh hello!" you greet the older girl. "Yeah snakes are great! Have you every tried talking to one? They're actually kind of neat."

You turn back to the snake.

"So, what were we talking about, again?"

Tonks gives you a bizarre look.

"You're a Parseltongue," she says. "We've got a parseltongue in the snake aisle. Oh lord, this will only end well."

"Shh!" you say to her, "I'm trying to speak with... ah..."

You motion for the snake to fill in his name. When all his does is tilt his head at you, you give up and actually ask him.

"What's you're name, mate?"

The snake blinks.

"I don't really have one, cholo," he concedes. "It'sss been too long sssince any of usss have actually needed one."

"Ummmmm... Mr. Gargan... Mr. Gargan... we've got a Parseltongue chatting with the snakes in the..." Tonks is holding her wand to her throat, and speaking quite softly. "No... he's not really doing anything harmful... yeah, he's just sort of talking to them... you want to... okay... hold on..."

The pink girls pokes you on the shoulder with her wand. "Hey kid, my boss wants to speak with you. You mind, ah, saying adios to your friend for a couple of seconds?"

You...

This one should make us seem the most harmless.

>>24737058
>Ask her what this is about
By the way, what does "Cholo" mean?

>>24737058
>Ask if there are any other animals that talk back

>>24737086
It's a rather rude term used in Hispanic slang, IIRC.

>>24737058
>[other]
Give her a weird look and say um maam not to be rude but Im not supposed to walk off with random strangers, at. all.

Ask to bring an adult or Illya first

>>24737058

"yea sure,... how much for the gold one?"

You have to wonder, how blown would the Wizarding world's collective mind be if we introduced them to Daft Punk?

I meant that as harry saying "Hey what's this about and what does cholo mean?"

>>24737058
"Go into a back room alone with a stranger? That seems like something my dead parents would disapprove of."

>>24737099
>>24737086
As stated by >>24735720
Its why we want Snakegamesh

How much dosh do we have? I mean, we could get a snake and a bird, provided they play nice with each other

THIS IDEA I LIKE IT

>>24737086
It's origins are as a slur which "refers to individuals of mixed or pure American Indian ancestry, or other racially mixed origin."
So yes, it means "mongrel". That's why we latched onto the snake being Gil.

>>24737058
>>Ask if there are any other animals that talk back

>>24737058
It's a trap; refuse! Go hide behind Ilya and get ready to stab things.

>>24737124
Unfortunately they won't release Discovery until 2001, we're limited to Homework, but still that's more than enough.

And now you can never unhear it.

>>24737058
Holy shit, this guy might have known Gil. I want to keep talking to him. Ask him about the glorious golden douchebag!

>>24737177
Hey, that gives us a year to figure out how to transfer it onto some sort of magical data storage and get Fred and George's help (they should be fine with helping a Hufflepuff if he's a cool guy like we will doubtless be) in figuring out a way to play it over the whole school.

>>24737177
Capioera is going to lend itself really well to dancing to daft punk. We're gonna start a fire across all of wizard-dom!

>She asks us to say adios to the Brazilian snake
"They don't speak Spanish in Brazil, though. Would that be offensive? What's goodbye in Portuguese?

And do YOU know what cholo means?"

>Snake happens to be gold colored
>Uses spanish slang
>/tg/ immediately decides this is highly relevant and suspicious
Calm your tits, guys, jesus christ

>>24737111
This.
Also ask the snake if he would mind being called Enkidu

>>24737218
And I think Kerry knows a thing or two about it, MMA master that he is. Gotta train that up as it relates to us using our eyes effectively. Gotta get those up too. As they are now we won't be seeing the lines and dots on dementors, must fix this ASAP as we want to be able to kill them to death the instant we see them roaming around.

>>24737274
It just dropped hints that it's positively ancient. That is highly relevant.

>>24737266
Tchau is goodbye in Brazilian Portuguese

>>24737274
>decides this is highly relevant and suspicious
No, we just think it's cool that a gold-colored snake is using a phrase equivalent to the mating call of The Greater Mesopotamian Douchebag.

>>24737301
Also, wait...

C'mon, snakebro. You don't have to lie to us like that.

Fourthing this idea.
