4th Gumball - Phone/Action

[connedviakeyboard]

[Well, someone isn't happy now that he's back to normal and away from the effects mint has on him. To say he was embarrassed would be putting it lightly; Benson was out and out ashamed. And he dealt with shame the way he dealt with everything else: by being angry as hell and trying to bottle it up.

Either way? He owed some apologies to people.]

[Phone]

...Look. I know that there were a few people I might've been...uncouth towards, a few days ago. Okay. I guess that's putting it lightly. I was acting like an asshole. And I'm sorry. That's not what I'm usually like. It really, really isn't, and I don't know what came over me. It won't happen again.

[Phone - Filtered to Mordecai]

Yeah, hi.

Let's pretend Valentine's Day didn't happen, alright?

[Action - Outside 507 Ricardo Street]

[If you're going by Ricardo Street today, feel free to notice the man who lives at 507 removing every single potted plant he could find in the house, hell, everything that could conceivably be called vegetable matter, and placing it on the sidewalk. Watch in amazement as he takes out a lighter and proceeds to try and get the plants to catch flame, running back a bit when the fire actually gets started.

He's just going to wait, and watch, as every plant that had previously been in his house burns.]

[infourbooks]

Th-that's something, at least...

[connedviakeyboard]

Yeah.

So....you like plants huh?

[Man just amazing small talk there Benson. Five stars.]

[infourbooks]

Herbology's the only subject I really have a knack for at school.

[connedviakeyboard]

Yeah? What are you going to do with that? Go into landscaping or professional gardening services or something? I mean, I get the idea of taking care of basic plants and working with them, I have to run the maintenance for a public park, but I never really studied them.

[infourbooks]

The Healers always need plants for their work and of course most skilled potion brewers don't tend to grow their own for the really delicate plants, it's a different set of skills.

[connedviakeyboard]

...Oh. Oh. You're a type of wizard than, or something?

[infourbooks]

I'm learning to be, anyway.

[connedviakeyboard]

Huh. I mean, I don't usually go for that, but my employees stole a keyboard from a wizard once so I guess they exist.

So, do they have, like, wizard schools or something then?

[infourbooks]

We try to keep it quiet, at home. They teach us at schools that are far away from the Muggle population. We're not allowed to use magic off school grounds until we're of age.

I... think the Ministry might make exceptions, for Mayfield.

[connedviakeyboard]

Huh.

Yeah. I'm pretty sure they'd make exceptions for crap like this.

[infourbooks]

They don't make exceptions often, but this is awfully dangerous.

[connedviakeyboard]

I think dangerous is putting it lightly. This is a battlefield, more or less.
