Give It A Whirl

Jack raised a hand and smiled at the new entrant. "Jack Dyllan. Pleasure." Kip tipped his head, introducing himself as well, though he was far less reserved. This was odd. Jack had never, never in her life been the most sociable person in a room.

Merlin, the world really was going bonkers.

She was glad to see Teddy, though she knew he wasn't happy to see her. He had his dark suspicions about her relation to both of his adopted brothers, and she wanted him for some of the research side of Knight's Watch. But she knew he'd never go that rogue.

Jack tuned back into Monroe, interested to see where this would all go. Monroe released them and Jack approached the woman, offering a friendly hand. "I can help you out, if you want."

Teddy caught onto this and approached the other man. "Hi, Teddy. I can lend a hand, if you need anything."

Hadley offered a tight smile in return for the rest of the greetings, trying to keep a log in her head of who was who, as well as the sort of personality that each person around her seemed to possess. Typically, she had a pretty decent memory. But this whole magic thing had a great potential to completely disprove that idea. Nevertheless, she knew there was no use in not trying, so Hadley stepped forward towards the man who seemed to be in charge.

Was she supposed to know which to pick? Hadley had no idea. Instead of worrying about it too deeply, she took up the one that seemed to be pointing at her, handling it carefully. There seemed to be a pause, as though they were, indeed, waiting for one of the newcomers to voice their questions or concerns. In that moment, Hadley could feel herself wanting to duck out. But then she realized that, if this never went away, she would be risking the people in her life for lack of being able handle this new... something inside of her. So she stood up a bit taller and glanced around at the others, a small and determined smile on her face.

"Where are we starting?"

The wand Elliot picked up had a white paper tag attached to it. Elder, Gryffin Feather, 13 inches, he read. Curious and curiouser. He did feel a little like he was plummeting down the Rabbit Hole.

"Hello Teddy," Elliot greeted the... wizard who'd decided to adopt him warmly. He seemed a little less on the ball than the others, and that was all to the good so far as Elliot was concerned.

Despite his aversion to getting too close to magical people, Elliot found himself clapping Teddy on the back and showing him the wand as he tried to steer him toward a far corner of the room.

"Seems everyone wants to lend me a hand today," he observed. "I wonder what that says about me? How did you say this thing worked?"

Cassiopeia did hear that there was some kind of event where muggles will learn magic. She decided to check it out too. She lately wants to know more and more about magic even if she still barely can believe that does exist actually.

She walked into the Buckley Inn and saw here already few people. She didn't really know anyone here. Girl walked to them. "Hello," she said to them with a small smile on her face. She wasn't sure what else she could say or what she should do now. She looked at everyone and tried to figure about what they are talking here at the moment but she had no clue at all at the end.

A latecomer. Inconvenient, but that was understandable, considering the circumstances. Monroe moved to welcome the girl who at least seemed a lot more comfortable with the idea of magic than some of the other muggles. Elliot appeared to distrust them entirely, even after Monroe had attempted to put him at ease.

"Hello," he offered a hand for the girl to shake. "What's your name?"

"I'm Monroe Ashcroft. I work for the Ministry of Magic, as do most of the other witches and wizards here. We'll just be teaching you a few basic spells this afternoon. So if you could choose one of these wands, that would be wonderful."

He smiled at her encouragingly. Merlin, being sociable was so draining.
