Character: Jim Moriarty
Mun: Eri
Plot specific: N

Bending myself to technical matters, I have contrived a revolutionary spell which is based on high-frequency sound waves. Extremely effective in the short range in initial tests, it unfortunately consumes quite a high level of power. I envisage it will be of great use once better refined, being easily activated and capable of causing a great deal of damage, including the temporary deafening of guard dogs. Has demonstrated a curious side effect; spell seems to have the ability to melt any chocolates within 100 paces whilst leaving other objects - glass, cabinetry, structures of any sort - intact. Cannot forsee a use, but will nonetheless log in the report. May need to defer to someone more knowledgeable in the use of sound waves.

Bastard melted all of my chocolate! Got all over my things, too.

You'd better pay to replace it. All of it.

[dearmesemtex]

Oops~

You shoudldn't have been around when I was testing this. Not my fault.

[semtex_sniper]

You were the one who developed it. It is your fault.

Paying for the damage won't put a dent in your wallet.

So do it.

[dearmesemtex]

What do you want? More chocolate? Things?

...No.

[semtex_sniper]

I can clean my things. I need more chocolate.

Don't expect me to help you the next time you need it, then.

[dearmesemtex]

I already give you all the chocolate that comes into my posession, what more do you want? Just wait till dessert and swipe all the candies, or stalk some first years' care packages.

You'll help. You always do.

[semtex_sniper]

What more? I want you to replace the chocolate you ruined. I thought that was clear.

Desert isn't always chocolate, I'd have to wait until they decided to serve us the right thing. [impatient dots tapped out with the quill]

I can't help if I'm busy swiping chocolate from first-years.

[dearmesemtex]

And I am telling you how you can do so.

They usually have some sort of candy for those less inclined for proper things. Are Chocolate Frogs not a staple?

No, you can't swipe chocolate from first years if you're busy helping. Besides, how hard can it be?

[semtex_sniper]

Chocolate Frogs are good, but you melted better.

It isn't hard, its troublesome.

But Fine. [the final letter and period are written heavily from exasperation]

[dearmesemtex]

You might just have to be patient, if you can handle that, Seb.

Family thinks I have a penchant for chocolate because of you, and now I get it in every letter, almost. You're welcome.

[semtex_sniper]

You know I can be patient, Jim.

Send for a letter. You always get the good stuff we can't get at school.

[dearmesemtex]

You're expecting me to send a letter to a (few? Several?) hapless family member, demanding chocolate?

That is rediculous, Seb.

[semtex_sniper]

You've sent pettier letters.

[dearmesemtex]

I have. For me.

[semtex_sniper]

Forget about it. I'll get some on my own.

[He isn't happy about it, but arguing with Jim always ends in more frustration than he'd started with - Seb doesn't know why he still tries.]

[dearmesemtex]

If you want to be satisfied with what little you can scrape together for... how long?

[He argues, because Seb's frustration is amusing on a regular basis. He'll get his chocolate, sometime.]

[semtex_sniper]

How long are you going to make me scavenge?

[better be soon, or he actually /won't/ be able to help because he's in detention from stealing from first years]

[dearmesemtex]

Who knows?

I don't~
