The Acid Pop Club #1 - A New Adventure

"So...uh who want's to borrow Fiona's Luck?"

"Hey, Saoirse, if no one will borrow your book, I will gladly take it and maybe at dinner I can let you borrow one of my books. Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. I pride myself I my books."

Ooh, ooh, what about we have like a handshake or a collective word to shout or something at the end to finish our meetings? That would be super cool! And maybe we could, like, pick nicknames further down the line - that might be something to consider. Anyhow, it’s getting freezing in here! Who’s borrowing Dragonology?

"I think it would be awesome to have like a collective word to shout at the end, or at least say. Also I think its an amazing idea that you wan to pick nicknames. I can only imagine what mine would be." Wren chuckled. "It would probably be something like, chatterbox, chatty Cathy, oooh maybe even an animal! That would be amazing. Like what James Potter and his crew did on the Marauder's Map. I could be like Owling. I don't know. I think that's a bad one. Damn it. I think I'll need y'alls help before I can come up with one. I cannot make myself stop taklikg ughhhhh. Help me Lord."

OOC: I was notified that I did not have enough words on this post so excuse the rest and ignore it

Hmm...Jo tried to think it out, but the math didn't work.
Actually, since you didn't bring one, Fiona's Luck might have to go to Adlai or Gwen. Otherwise, someone who brought a book would end up without one. But you can always ask next time!
That seemed fair. That was fair, right? She hoped her brand-new Gryffindor friend wouldn't be offended.

Either sounds nice, and Jo you can hold the cat-lamp when it's on it heats up.

Jo looked sincerely happy as the cat spewed its resplendent web of colors around the room- the emotion was rare to her, despite her constant smile.
That's a gorgeous lamp. And thank you so much! It never snows where I'm from, so I still haven't adapted to the weather.

I was never much good at nicknames, either. But that's a cool suggestion! Jo beamed at Gwen, this time listening closely to her opinion. Yeah, yeah, just like the Marauders! Honestly, animal-based nicknames are a great idea! It's interesting, though, that the nicknames of the Marauders aren't animal names themselves, but words derived from animals. That might be quite fun to explore. We're like the Marauders 2.0! We can go more into detail on the nicknames next time! Jo shivered - she didn't think it was visible but it definitely, certainly was. In fact, it was a rather big shiver.

Angela had a flier for the Acid Pop club, she didn't know what it was but she spent almost all day trying to find out where it was, nobody knew. Everybody she went to ignored her or said they didn't know, which brought her spirits down, she thought the weird named club would be interesting and fun but since all hope seemed lost she sighed and threw the paper away. Angela went up to the girls' lavatory next to wash her hands, and she really had to go, when she entered she saw four girls and raised a brow "Um hello, might I ask what you are doing?" Her voice was soft as she moved her bangs so she could see better.

 It was a bit odd to see four females in the bathroom just messing around but it was against her philosophy to judge them and decided to introduce herself with the clearing of her throat "Hello I'm Angela Nelson but you may call me Angie or Angel for short braf cwrdd â chi" She smiled and held out a hand for them to shake since that was the nice thing to do then a thought came to her head and her face lit up "Oh um do any of you know where the Acid Pop club meeting is? It seemed intriguing" Her hand was still out as she waited for at least one of them to answer or say hello back.

OOC: I got an owl from @Guinevere Brand to join hope thats all right 

Wren reached for the new girls hand. "Hello, I'm Wren Caster. This is the Acid Pop Club. I don't think we will be meeting in here again though, because it's so cold." she shook the new girl's hand. "I'm not the leader here, I just joined too." She rubbed her neck blushing, "I made quite a scene I guess, when I came in here." Wren chuckled. "I um, may have passed out, even after waking up 15 minutes before that. I think we may have started 45 minutes ago or so since, I got here, but I think we are almost done." Wren stopped shaking her hand and sat back down. "I tend to talk a lot, so if I get to rambling please pay no attention and ignore me. I do not take offense to that." She turned back to Jo.

Actually, since you didn't bring one, Fiona's Luck might have to go to Adlai or Gwen. Otherwise, someone who brought a book would end up without one. But you can always ask next time!

"That's ok, Jo I understand. I will not forget a book, or blanket next time!" Wren smiled and turned back to look at Angela. "What house are you in? I'm a Gryffindor, and also new to Hogwarts, so I can't really tell (unless you are Gryffindor because obviously I'm Gryffindor), who is in which house just by looking at you."

Jo tried to keep her spirits up as yet another witch entered the club late. Mental note - don’t except first years to be on time. She proceeded with a visual check of the new girl immediately. Dirty Blonde. Brown eyes. Pronounced dimples! Jo was impressed.

She wasn’t too bothered by this girl’s tardiness-it was still the first meeting, and none of them were used to managing their own schedule. Looking around the bathroom, Jo found herself unexpectedly proud at having been able to round up so many new faces. The club was three times the size that she had expected! She carelessly rifled through her notebook, picking up a leaflet for the Gobstones Club (she had no intention of joining, but it felt rude to refuse the flyer) that fell out. If this was going to be a legitimate club, she'd have to learn how to stay more organized.

Oddly enough, it was Wren, the other new girl, who introduced herself first. Jo was a bit taken aback - in Japan, the oldest member always introduced themselves. She quickly straightened herself out, though. This was a new culture, and with it came new values. She really didn’t mind.

That's ok, Jo I understand. I will not forget a book, or blanket next time!

Jo gave the excitable witch a thumbs - up, which she immediately regretted. This was a wizard thing too, right? Or was this a muggle thing? Had she embarrassed herself? An unfounded anxiety crept back in, but Jo brushed it aside to listen to Wren.

What house are you in? I'm a Gryffindor, and also new to Hogwarts, so I can't really tell (unless you are Gryffindor because obviously I'm Gryffindor), who is in which house just by looking at you.

Actually, Jo interjected, you can find out what house she is in by looking at the color on her robes! Angela’s are embellished with purple, so she’s our very first Ravenclaw!
Jo extended her hand warmly for Angela to shake. I’m Jo, the founder of the club. I guess that makes me the leader - I don’t know if I’ll be a good leader since I get panicky when I’m stressed, but I’ll try not to disappoint everyone. It’s lovely to meet you, Angie - may I call you Angie? Anyway, the meeting is actually almost over. We’ll meet in the Trophy room after sixth block on Monday of next week- so right after dinner. Everyone brings a blanket, a pillow, and a book to share with the group. However, next week is a bit special - we’re pranking a boy’s club, so it would be marvelous if we could all bring three prank ideas as well as any ideas for nicknames - Wren had the marvelous idea of using animal-based ones, but I’m open to any suggestions!
