I see last names have gone out of fashion again. A promising development in some ways. Perhaps all those bloody piercings children wear these days will die out again as well.

*hears something in the corridor* ..If there are cats out there now.....

[[Bob is currently standing near a pillar outside the Great Hall. This animal is huddled between the pillar and the wall, ill and emaciated, suffering from prolonged exposure and a fractured spine. Bob, of course, can do nothing concrete. Somebody help!!]]

Of course. *chuckles, takes the bottles and looks at the animal. Produces his wand and accios an eyedropper before he opens the bottle of blood replinisher and begins to fill said dropper* Should we blend the Skele-gro with milk to make it easier to take?

*returns to the cat and again sinks his translucent hands into its bruised back, attempting to locate each vertebra by touch*

Only if... hmmm... *eyes narrow* ..No, I think the bones need to be re-knitted rather than regrown. There should be a stimulant somewhere, but this animal is too weak to take it without time spent rebuilding his muscle mass and immune system. *looks up, eyes hollow* There's no quick fix for this one. He might be in pain for weeks.

Being in pain is better than having it die. *lifts the eyedropper and easies the animal's mouth open as he deposits the replenisher* If its muscle mass and immune system need to be rebuilt.. *thinks, grabs a blanket and wraps the animal in it* What are you doing the rest of the day? We could attempt to feed it here, or we could escort it to a vet and then act based on what's told to us.

*grim nod, watching the cat takes its medicine* I daresay the curriculum will survive in my absence. *rocks back on his heels, rubbing his hands together industriously* Where to, then?

*puts the eyedropper away and picks up the bundled cat slowly* There should be a vet open somewhere. *thinks, frowns and regards the cat* Professor Marik should be able to help. Could you contact him through the journal system?

*blinks, looks down at his hands; the journal, of course, is not there* Yes, if he sees the entry, but there's no telling how long that'll take. Still, it's better than nothing.

*shifts the cat's weight as he produces his wand and fires off an Accio, waiting to see if Bob's journal will show up* In the meantime, we can try to keep the cat calm.

*distant cries of outrage as the journal rockets up the corridor, and Bob performs a minor double-take as he realizes that this means he left his office door open*

*and of course the cat chooses this moment to cough weakly and emit a thready, painful meow*

Re: In Person

Oh good, it worked!

*looks at the cat, strokes its head* You've not seen much magic, have you?

Re: In Person

*the cat's eyes flick back and forth, not quite comprehending; slowly, though, its twitching grows less frantic as it latches onto the sound of Jareth's voice*

*drawing closer, Bob watches it breathe, wishing bitterly that he could comfort a living thing like that; a crash from the hall alerts him just in time and he whirls around with a sharp cry*

WATCH OUT--!

*as the doors burst open and the journal ROCKETS INTO THE ROOM!!*

Re: In Person

[13oclockking.livejournal.com]

*looks up as said journal shoots into the room and sidesteps, trying to both avoid getting hit and aim his wand at the journal* I didn't think it'd move that quickly!

Re: In Person

[bobthewizard.livejournal.com]

*journal hurtles past them, bounces off the wall, skids across the bed, and gets tangled in the sheets, but is still trying to move*

Re: In Person

[13oclockking.livejournal.com]

*aims wand at the lump of sheets, fires Immobulus* Hmph.

Re: In Person

*journal stops moving; Bob, looking a bit sheepish, waits for the pen to position itself above the page and then dictates a quick note to Marik*
