[voice] action for Hazmats

Oi. Don't wanna make any assumptions, so I'm gonna ask. Anybody else's crew get leaflets dropped all around their ship? I fished a couple outta the water and they're all the same - somethin' about some feast at a place I ain't heard of.

People know anything about 'Haus?' It sounds like a good deal but after the ghosts, I'm a little leery about feasts laid open to all-comers. Unless this is tradition? Anybody here last year remember a thing like this?

...I do miss the harvest festivals at home, but I ain't leadin' my crew into a trap.

Turkeys.

[oooooookay]

Though, I guess it ain't the first or last time food's been dropped on the ship. You got a point.

I'll leave it to all o' ya to decide if we wanna chance it or not. I'd be real surprised if no islands in this world had any kind of festivals this time of year, so if this is how they do it, then it's probably harmless and I'm probably just paranoid.

Yes. [Total verbal eye roll in his tone.] It's odd because turkeys this time of year are a very American thing in my world. They're silly that way. The food was good, though.

[And there was certainly a lot of it.]

Anyway, I don't care if we go or not, I'll leave it to the others to decide. I'm not sure about other festivals, but you might get another one of those bloody weird ships going around and dropping things off in about a month's time. That's when the real holidays start.

...'merican?

[PLZ TO EXPLAIN he'll never get it]

So there is some kinda holiday. Huh. See, I didn't know that.

It's...well, not important really. America is a country in my world. They have some holiday where they worship turkeys and celebrate that they didn't starve years and years ago because some people showed up and gave them food. And then they proceeded to wipe all those people out or something, but I digress.

Aside from that, there's Christmas. But that's not for another month.

Weird. Guess it takes all kinds, eh?

Well, we'll see what happens, then. If people wanna go, we'll go, and if they don't wanna risk the feast, they can stay on the ship. Get things straightened up, eh?

If the food is as good as advertised, then I'll go. I could use some variety after the months spent here. I'll let someone else have at it first, though. Perhaps one of the other crews.

Heh. Shrewd enough.

It's a Slytherin thing.

A who?

[stop using weird words, Draco, gosh]

[Using weird words that lead to an excuse to talk abut his world is Draco's thang.]

Slytherin. It's the house I sorted. My school has four of them, see? They're essentially your living quarters, but you're sorted depending on various personality traits. Slytherins are cunning, ambitious. Shrewd, as you said. Determined and proud. Among other things.

Yah-huh. [right over his head] All magic aside, your world is weird. But, eh, to each their own.

[Sniffs.]

My world is perfectly normal and also fabulous. It's every other world that's completely barking.

Shyeah, keep tellin' yourself that, kid.
