Perspective: Ginger Engineer

[starvinginstarfleet]

 Character: Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott (Will be a fifth year at the start of next year)
Mun: Otter
Plot specific: After Exam time?

You know what? With how the exams went, I think that my dad'll make good on letting me loose on Portsmouth's Naval Museum. Sure, not exactly something that even most of us muggle borns care about. But there are more than a few fine ladies there that I can't wait to get my eyes on.

So, what's everyone else going to be doing over summer.

We all have our vices. So, I take it you're hot for ships, huh?

This summer? Moving and being bored out of my mind.

[starvinginstarfleet]

More for their buxom Rolls-Royce PWR 2 reactors and their bountiful Rolls-Royce Marine Trent MT30 36 MW turbines. Can't wait.

Moving to where? And how would moving be boring?

[bestandbrightest]

You some kind of engineer geek?

Moving from Iowa, which is in the USA, to London. The moving parts not too boring, just the everything after that. London will be interesting for all of a week, then I still have the rest of the summer to waste.

[starvinginstarfleet]

Geek? And here I thought being a wizard would get me away from all of tha

Well, yes. Okay, I am. But there's nothing wrong with that, alright?

Oh, American? Suddenly I don't think I'm surprised anymore about the geek comment. Well London has a lot to say for itself. More than enough things to see and do if you ask me. Not that I get down there myself all that much.

[bestandbrightest]

Woah, yeah no, I didn't mean geek as a bad thing. It was just the best term to use there. I could have said obsessed, but I think that sounds worse. Like you're stalking ships like they're Jodi Foster.

Yeah, born and raised in the corn fields. So, where do you live then if you don't get to London often? I mean, the whole island of yours is like the size of a state here, seems an easy distance to travel often.

[starvinginstarfleet]

I prefer the term, enthusiast. And believe you me, Miss Foster wishes she has the the deck guns Her Majesty's fleet has.

Oh, I'm an Aberdeen boy, which is as about as close to London as a cat is close to being a lion. Which means we don't have a direct train. I have to take a train to Glasgow, then a bus all the way into London. I don't know about you, but even I have better things to do with the 16 hour return trip, don't you think?

[bestandbrightest]

You like them busty and dangerous, huh?

[Takes a moment to actually look up a map to see the distance of Aberdeen and London]

Point taken. 16 hours is a bit excessive. So, traveling by magic isn't your style, huh?

[starvinginstarfleet]

Well built, busty and dangerous. Oh yes sir!

Well, I'm muggle born, and it makes mum, more than a little uneasy really. Not her fault, it's not her thing.

[bestandbrightest]

Good to hear I won't be the only one with good taste at this school.

Yeah, my step-dad wasn't a big fan of magic, but hey, that's not a bad thing. I think muggles have funner forms of transportation anyway. I'm a fan of driving.

[starvinginstarfleet]

Oh I wager I have more than just good taste.

Well sure, driving would be pretty fun. But I'm more interested in what's under the hood over what to do behind the wheel.
