Limbo. It was a game where everyone got in a line , eager to make fools of themselves by falling on their backs before the others. Not the point of the game, the point was to be the last to fall, but generally, no one was good at it. Yet somehow it made it's way to every party, ball, dance, shin dig. Anything that goes on, there's a limbo. Pity how many people get so excited about it. Almost as overrated as the ball itself.

Travis certainly wasn't interested in doing the limbo. That Thai knew for sure. She may have done it once or twice, had her date or a friend rushed her into line, but without a friend, and the way Travis is pouting, she wasn't getting up anytime soon. Professor Ryan's comments weren't exactly thrilling either. Thai was very particular on age and behavior. "He's bloody 27, why can't he act it?" Something Thai didn't understand. Why couldn't old people just stay old? Why do they try to be young when they're so obviously not? From the beginning of time, they knew they would be old some day. They should have lived their lives while they could. Pity.''

Thai was now ready to ignore the whole Limbo shenanigan, unless of course, Travis replied, or got a sudden whiff of fun.

Eric:

Eric watched the Limbo session with a smirk. The Hufflepuff lad had been too new to the school to have met anyone to take to the Ball thing. Heck, he hadn't even been able to buy proper clothes for it. However, looking at his attire one would hardly guess it was something he normally wore. He was dressed in faded blue jeans, with a white button-up shirt, over that was a dark blue dress jacket with safety-pins outlining the pocket flaps. And if any one wanted to be picky, the boy had a black tie hung loosely around his neck.

As usual, there was a brimmed hat stationed on his head, hiding the dirty blonde strands beneath. Beneath the brim, blue eyes stared at the limbo line before looking at a girl sitting to the side with a younger boy. [OOC: Go god-moding your own characters! The red-headed boy looked as if he did not want to be there and the girl didn't look any happier to him. However, what intrigued him was why the girl had chosen to go with a lad clearly some years younger than her! Many of the younger year boys had not shown much interest in the ball.

Eric pushed away from the wall, walking over to the girl [Thai. "What? Not interested in limboing?" he stated with a thick Russian accent and a smile touching his lips. His hands were stationed in his jean pockets.

Travis:

Travis watched the Limbo with an interested eye, well as interested as he was going to get into it. He was not going to participate. He had a resolution to keep after all. He didn't know if Thai realized that her date was doing everything in his will power to have a bad time or not. However, that was his intention. He didn't want to be here.

When an older boy started talking to Thai, Travis turned large eyes to the boy. His gaze was focused on the boy as if willing him to take Thai out on the dance floor and limbo or something. Basically just to take her away so that his duty would be done and he could go do something fun. Okay, so maybe the ball wasn't that bad but he didn't want to go with a date and if he didn't have one anymore and he was there, well he would be free to wander the rest of the night.

No one stated he had to come again the next two days.

Thai:

Well atleast someone wanted to get up and move. Thai didn't know this fellow, but she figured, whatever. It'll be fun. Atleast for the moment. Although she definstly was not one to live in the moment. Unfortunatly to this boy asking for her hand, Thai had a date. How rude would it be to just leave? Not that Travis would mind of course. He'd probably either eave or read or fall asleep or something other than limboing.

"Well that's not entirely up to me. Travis here," She put her arm around Travis, "He's my date for tonight." Thai knew he would instantly be completely freaked out by the presence of her arm, but that was all the more fun. As soon as he gave her the go aheadm Thai planned to let him be free. Can't torture the kid too much. That'll be wierd.

Though, Thai wasn't sure she nessecarily wanted to be with this other boy either. He was cute, but she still didn't know him. He was a complete stranger, and Thai knopws who just about everyone is. Why would a transfer be here? He had to be of a younger year.

Travis:

Physical contact bad. When Thai had placed her arm around Travis he had fridged up, tense as a rod for more than a moment before he pushed her arm away. He didn't care if the two older students laughed at him or not. He was not in his comfort zone and he wasn't going to stand for it be invading.

Even with the added contact, Travis didn't miss her comment. "Go, go away," he stated quickly, making shooing motions with his hands. To add to this picture, he even pushed Thai lightly towards the other boy.

Travis did not care who the other boy was. He didn't care that he had never seen the lad before. Thai was a big girl, she could take care of herself. She didn't need him to protect her, as if he could even doing anything. The lad was at least two times bigger than he was! An exaggeration to be sure, but who cares? It gets the point across.

Eric:

Eric watched the two with mild amusement. However, he was a tad confused. Had he invited the girl to go limbo with him? He had only asked why she was not doing so. However, the girl may have picked up on that, the younger boy hadn't, with his big eyes just asking Eric to take the girl away. It was kind of funny really.

When the younger lad pushed away the girl's arm and then shooed her towards Eric telling her to go, he sixth year could not help but laugh. It was cute in a juvenile kind of way. Eric adjusted the hat on his head. "I believe your date doesn't want you around," he commented with a smile.

The boy wasn't sure, but he had thought he had seen a questioning look on the girl's face. As if she was trying to place him but couldn't. Had it been there? Eric couldn't be sure. He was not the most skilled in reading expressions, especially hidden ones. If it had passed, Eric was not surprise she could not place him. He would be surprise is some one did. Considering he had only been at the school for a month and a half now.

Travis:

You don't limbo?

Travis looked at the girl who had walked up to him and spoke. She didn't look that much older than him, at least in comparision to Thai. He would guess she was a year above him. He adjusted the frames on his nose as he looked at her.

"And if I don't?" he inquired of her, not really answering her question and yet he was. With Thai's, his date's, attention on the other boy, Travis was free for the moment. With this girl's questioning, it had seemed as if Travis had grown up a little. True, he still sulked but he didn't look like the little boy he had before. He still looked as if he did not want to be here but his childish sulking had evaporated.

If Travis was aware of this or not was not apparent on the second year's demeanor. He was still seated in his chair, however he no longer slouched but had sat up straighter, it wasn't a noticable difference, it had been a gradual thing his sitting up.

Discontinued.
