[font=Century Gothic]Perhaps Cody was among the first to enter the Rehearsal Room where Professor Tuesday J Irons was. He saw a small table with candy on it, and without even thinking, he rushed over to get a few. Handfuls that is. "Thanks Professor! Thank you for inviting me here! Or rather, writing a invitation of a sort, telling me to come here. Can't wait to meet my group!"

Little did the Part Goblin know, he'd be trapped in a group with Lizzy, who he received detention with, and Aurora, who might not remember Cody. That's probably a good thing, considering she was blindfolded at the time Cody threw a cupcake at her.

If anyone were to walk in while he was speaking, he'd smile, give a wink, and applaud himself. Hey, don't judge the boy before you get to know him! After all, he was a little curious about what the other talents were, rumors were of an anatomy! How would that work?

"Again, thanks Professor, I'll just take my magic items and make sure everything is here and present, I sure hope they didn't vanish!" The young Part Goblin exclaimed playfully, winking his left eye. He didn't care what anyone thought about him, he was prepared in general. Maybe he should've signed up for horrible and awful puns and jokes.

Regardless, his stage magic was bound to be a little spellbinding, to the highest of hopes anyways. [/font]

Had Enrico been in the possession of a time-turner, he would have flicked the thing to move time forward without even giving it a first thought. He had been waiting - impatiently - all day for the clock to strike five. Even during break time, he was nervously waiting for time to pass by like a cool breeze in Summer, whereas usually, he made certain to spend every second to his benefit, be it from goofing around to satisfying his gluttony, and then time would not wait for anyone, but today, it seemed like it did.

It was a Tuesday after all, the second-worst day of the week, solely because it came after Monday, it was only logical to rank them in that order. The funniest part was that it was Professor Tuesday Irons that was hosting this little event for the group that Enrico was placed with, to watch perform, and perform for, on a Tuesday. Enrico didn't stop repeating that same joke for the entire day to every one of his friends.

A couple of hours before the meeting, the little boy had forgotten himself into an unplanned, cosy nap. The bedsheets felt so warm through all that cold, and the fireplace made everything twice as comforting. His eyes shut close and he didn't see the world for a few hours. But something had kicked him off his bed as he fell to the ground in panic. His brain quickly flashed the idea of him being late to the event, and without further ado, the Hufflepuff sprinted out of every room in the castle that eventually led him to where he was supposed to go. Throughout his entire way there, there had been instances where he completely forgot where it was all taking place, and kept getting lost, wasting more time in the process.

Once he had finally arrived, with his breath cut short and face redder than a rose, Gathorne stood by the entrance, with one hand leaning against the wall and the other holding in his heart from falling.
"Excuse me if I'm late," Enrico apologized, trying to talk as clear as he could, "it's just, I slept and then I couldn't find my socks, and I didn't want to wear the stinky ones, not part of my talent routine, you know?" He addressed everyone who was present in the room as if he was talking to a close member of his family.

Instinct took him to the table that had everything surrounding it, from the guitar he asked for (hoping that no one copied his idea, as if he was the only person who could play the guitar) to candy. Delicious, ever-so-loving, candy. As he approached the treats with a big smile across his face, he could hear his mother's voice in the back of his head, shouting, telling him how he should not eat any candy. She knew he was going to disobey her, it was one of the many things she hated about having him away for nearly an entire year.

If his braces had a voice, they'd start screaming in agony at the sight of anything with sugar. A rock-solid, strawberry flavoured bean it was that flourished his mouth in sweetness that almost broke his teeth.
"So," he began to speak inappropriately whilst biting and chewing loudly, "what can y'all do exactly?"

He looked at the two kids that entered. Lizzy Solace and Enrico Gathorne. Might as well be doing an act where he attempts a Harry Houdini act. But for a twelve year old, he probably wouldn't have succeeded. "Listen. I do stage magic as well as real magic. If you even bother to be judgmental of my act, I'll chase you down after this event. I find it hard internally to go up on stage, even if I don't act that way on stage. A little forewarning, as I'm not waiting for the others to come. When I do my spells, I don't speak in gibberish... well... no. I don't... hmm... no. I speak gobbledegook. A language for goblins."

He desperately hoped that there wasn't any disaster onstage when he had his turn. Maybe fortune favors the bold? Outwardly perhaps? Internally was filled with a judgement that made the boy uneasy.

"Hey, both of you. Let me see what you all think about this trick." Cody grabbed a deck of trick cards, playing cards that was. Those cards were of a blue back. The other deck of cards with his pack were red backed or jumbo. There were a purpose for them. But now wasn't the time.

He intentionally looked like he stripped out one of every number or letter as in Ace of Diamonds, Two of Spades, Three of Clubs, Four of Clubs, Five of Spades, Six of Diamond, Seven of Heart, Eight of Diamond, Nine of Hearts, Ten of Spades, Jack of Hearts, Queen of Diamonds, King of Clubs. But there was NOT a joker card in it. When in reality, he slipped nine of hearts behind all of the cards. When he would show the cards to the two in front of him, he would smile, try to act as cunning as he could, but calm and peaceful as to try not to give it away. Or at least, his secret. These were trick cards after all.

"Alright, you see the Ace of Diamonds and all? Ok, now, I'm going to shuffle up the deck, and I'm going to let you BOTH pick your card, ONE CARD FOR THE BOTH OF YOU. Alright?" Once he said that, he quickly took out all the other cards, that weren't Nine of Hearts. He smiled, allowed them to select their card, which would be of a Nine of Hearts, but he kept his mouth shut, knowing full well what it was. "Take a moment to study that card. Now, I'm going to put it back into this pile, where you drew it from. And I'm going to reshuffle."

He shuffled, making it look as thorough and complex as he could. He drew out the first card, the nine of hearts, but quickly flicked it so they would see an average amount of hearts, almost nine, but upon sudden consideration, he took up the cards, licked his hand, slapped the same hand on a nine of heart card, and attempting to distract the viewers by trying to make him look at his feet as he slapped his forehead with the hand containing the card. It would stick, being a bit wet with saliva.

"So. Is this your card?" Cody said, pointing at the original pile of cards he had earlier, pointing at the Ace of Diamonds. No. It wouldn't be. "Hmmmm. How could this be done?" Cody said, scratching his forehead, dramatically acting as if he suddenly saw the nine of hearts on his forehead. "Is THIS your card?"

OOC NOTICE

Players do not need to wait for another person's character to finish their talent before performing their own. For example, if someone else's character is playing the violin and no conclusion to the performance was mentioned, you may still post that your own character performed a dance. IC, if it doesn't make sense that two talents would be done at the same time, then you might write out your character reacting to another's talent, then showing their own once that talent is finished. There simply isn't enough time before the deadline for everyone's talents to [OOC] be performed at separate times.

This also serves as a reminder that the errand deadline is December 14th, barely over a week after the time of this notice. Please be certain to meet the word count requirement and detail your character performing their talent before that time. You may continue to role play in this thread following that date, but if the requirements are not met by then, you will receive no rewards for the errand.

D E A D L I N E

The word and errand requirements were met by the following students:
@Cody Stevenson | @Lizzy Solace

Rewards should be handed out before the end of the day. If you have any questions please feel free to owl me. I encourage all of you to continue roleplaying in this thread as I will not be locking it. Have fun, everyone!
