[Just going to walk in then, shutting the door behind him, and waiting--]

How much do you know about the runes, anyways?

Very, very little to be honest. I've been meaning to do more research, but I've been wrapped up. How difficult can they be anyway?

Difficult enough that this place isn't filled with runic creations. [Sigh.] You'd think that people who are so eager to get their magic back would actually try to learn it.

[Just going to be setting out the paper, a paintbrush, and a small bottle of silvery ink on the nearest flat surface.]

Some of us are eager about other prospects, that's all. [And he's watching him like a hawk.]

Heh, that or people just like to complain. [After dipping the paintbrush into the ink, ??? begins slowly writing out the array for him to watch. It doesn't take too long, but we he's finally done he holds out the brush to Draco.]

Got it?

["If only because it's easiest to complain sometimes. When I complained, I got my way quite a bit. Too bad that hasn't worked out here." He's still monitoring very, very closely before he takes the brush...and stares at it. In theory, yes, he gets it.] It's really that simple?

[Oh, such a spoiled brat. ???'s trying to not laugh, but he can't help it when Draco asks. At least it can be interpreted as the topic:]

Hah. Yeah, it's really that simple as long as you get the combination right. That's why I've been wondering why more people haven't picked it up.

Generally people seem to avoid the easy route despite the fact that's entirely backwards. ["After all, how often have I made things completely overcomplicated?"]

True, I've done that a few times here. [Things can't be easy in the end.

But ???'s picking up his copy of the array, holding it for a second as he focuses on an image, and the runes glow until a ~~picture develops on the other side.]~~

[He's still monitoring closely.] ...it's almost like a cheaper form of magic. It's interesting.

[HTML fail at the top, but this picture was supposed to appear.]

Not exactly what I'm used to either, but it's still fun to work with.

So where is this anyway?

...Destiny Islands. It's an important place for people from my world. Riku, Sora, and Kairi grew up playing there.

It looks so...quaint.

Appearances can be deceiving. [Since it was BASICALLY the stage for the beginning of the end for all the worlds.] But for the most part, it's pretty nice. I wished I could go there at times.

[Both in the datascape and in the real world.]

["Truer words have never been spoken."] Looks nice. Maybe I'll add it to my list of places to go if I can get the portal open.

If you do, there's a star-shaped fruit there that's said to intertwine a person's destiny with another person if they share it. [Definitely a teasing smile right here:] Maybe you should share it with Jade since you're doing so much work to get to her world.

Star-shaped fruit? ["How fair would that be? I mean, all right, I'm inherently selfish, I'll admit that. Obviously I wouldn't object to keeping her to myself forever...better than Sollux wrecking things forever and ever, over and over. Not that Jade would want to be bound to me forever, but. I don't even believe in destiny."] Very funny. Some of us don't even believe in destiny.

[Yeah...he will probably never tell Draco that he has Telepathy just because his thoughts are so amusing to follow along. If that were ruined because of wariness, it would be too bad.]

Doesn't hurt to try. Anyways, Jade's living with you. It probably wouldn't be too much of a stretch to say that she could be interested in the idea too.

[It's probably best for everyone if ??? keeps that little tidbit to himself and Draco just keeps up the running commentary. He sneers though at the comment.] Doubt it. Now her and Sollux on the other hand. That I'm sure she'd be completely interested in. ["Stupid fanged ungrateful disgusting douchebag."] Perhaps you should tell her about it.

Alright, I'll tell her and make sure to not mention Sollux. [He doesn't get Jade's interest in the troll either, but whatever.]

Anyways, think you got the runes for the array memorized?

["...might make a good Slytherin."] Memorized enough. I'll touch base with you later if somehow I can't get it to actually work.

[??? has no clue what Slytherin is, but it seems like a good thing without asking.]

Alright, good enough. [But he's not going to forget their trade:] So, where's the potion?

[Give him a second to set out both the charm and the potion.] They're both surprisingly effective. Euri and I keep tweaking the formula to make it better...[And he'll even turn his back so that ??? can grab whichever one he wants without Draco noticing. Generous, he knows.]

Hmm. [He wasn't expecting for Draco to put out both, but ??? ends up grabbing the potion anyways. From the sounds of it, it'll keep him asleep long enough to pass a good portion of the day in case he were to turn human again. Perfect.]

Got it. I guess I'll see you around sometime then. [You know, since being neighbors and all. He's still not giving Draco the benefit of knowing which apartment he lives in though, unless Jade's already spoiled that.]
