To Jill's House (sixth post.. yay!)

[paula] *watches JD, who was being chased by Ezra* Poor guy. Tsk. *turns to Jill* I wonder why Muggles fear us witches and wizards and other magical people. Hmm... Anyway, I better go wash the dishes. *goes to the kitchen and starts to wash the dishes*
[ezra] *has tackled jd*
[jill] Thanks for minding the house, Paula. *runs to jd and ezra* Sorry 'bout that. I guess it won't hurt to take a while before Obliviating you. That means, er... adjusting your memory. I'm Jill. Thanks for returning my dog.
[jd] How do I know that you're not going to do anything bad to me?
[nix] *answers the phone* Andrew?! What? What do you need? I'm, er, busy!
[andrew] Hi Nix! You weren't busy, the lady said you were at the buffet!
[nix] What do you want?
[andrew] Um, me, Jack and Mark are kinda stuck in Brunei...
[nix] And you want me to help you, as usual?
[andrew] Yeah!
[nix] Fine, I'll see what I can do. *hangs up* Gah. *finds a safe place to disapparate* *apparates to Jill's house* Jill! You here? *looks around and sees JD* Wh-, what?!
[jill] Oh hello, Nix. Thought you were in Vegas?
[nix] *is shocked* *whispers to Jill* What's he doing here?
[jd] *is shocked too*
[jill] You know him?
[nix] Err, I just see him in, er, school!
[jd] I know you!
[jill] Oh? Well then there's no need for introductions. I was going to Obliviate him just now, 'cause I made him giggle and hiccup uncontrollably 'cause I thought he was a dognapper. What do I do?
[nix] I dunno. We don't really know each other...
[jd] I remember! You live in the same building that I stayed in! And we were in the same club... yeah.
[jill] I won't Obliviate him if you can keep him quiet, Nix.
[nix] *thinks* *approaches JD* Um, sorry for all this. Er, can you please not tell anyone about this? *smiles faintly*
[jd] *stands up* I guess. *shrugs* But this is all so interesting... What other things do you people of your kind do?
[nix] Uh...
[jill] It's better not to tell him. *nods to herself* I don't trust you. *eyes jd suspiciously* So anyway, what are you doing here? I thought you were out having a vacation?
[nix] Yes I was in Vegas! But then, Andrew called and he's with Jack and Mark. They're in Brunei and they need help. So I came to you, and, hmm, maybe Michael could help?
[ezra] *was listening to nix* *snorts angrily*
[jill] Michael? *hesitates*
[nix] Is there something I don't know about you and Michael?
[jd] *goes to the table to finish his lunch*
[ezra] *snarls*
[jill] No, it's nothing. I'll have to try to find him in Sylvanus. You wanna go with me?
[nix] Sure. But what about JD and Paula? Paula can't go to Sylvanus, and JD, well, he's just not like us.
[jd] *hears his name* I'm surprised you remember my name.
[nix] Yeah.. *grins guiltily*
[jill] Ezra can stay here and guard JD. Ezra has powers of his own, you know.
[ezra] *stares at jd suspiciously*
[jill] Shall we? *transports nix and herself to the Diabolist Guildhouse in Sylvanus*
[jd] And I thought you were just an innocent little dog..
[nix] *is with Jill at the Diabolist Guildhouse*
[ezra] *sits stiffly in front of jd, watching his every move*
[jill] Uh, so... Michael? *knocks on Michael's door*
[michael] Who's there?
[jill] It's Nix... and Jill.
[michael] Jill? *tears the door open*
[jill] *to nix* Ask him... I'll wait outside. *goes outside*
[michael] *looks at nix quizzically*
[nix] Okaaaaaay. So Michael, could I ask you a favor?
[michael] *distracted* ... Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't listening to you, what?
[nix] I was wondering if you could help me with something, like summoning some people..
[michael] *still distracted* What? Sure...
[nix] Yay, thank you!
[michael] Who do you want to summon?
[nix] Remember Andrew, Jack and Mark? They're somewhere in Brunei.
[michael] Alright. *does nothing*
[andrewjackmark] *appear out of thin air*
[mark] *is holding a chicken* Hey! What happened?
[nix] Thanks, Michael!
[andrew] Hey Michael! It's me, Andrew! *smiles*
[michael] Oh.
[jack] Thank you, Michael.
[chicken] Cluck.
[jack] Mark, put that chicken away!
[mark] No!
[andrew] Where'd you get that chicken?
[mark] In Brunei! *clutches chicken* I saved him from KFC.
[michael] *strums his fingers in boredom*
[nix] Wait a sec. *goes outside* Jill, he got them here.
[jill] Oh, okay. Ready to go then?
[nix] I think, yeah. But what's wrong with you two?
[jill] Who two?
[nix] Michael and you.
[andrew] Sandy has a new friend then.
[jill] Michael? Nothing. Come on.
[mark] Yes, she does! *cuddles chicken* I'm gonna call you... Mark!
[jack] But that's your name.
[mark] Oh really? Then I'll call you Kevin.
[andrew] Kevin the Chicken!
[nix] Okay, whatever you say. Should I go call them?
[jill] Nah. *transports everyone except Michael to her house*
[michael] *lonely* You're welcome. *grumbles angrily* *returns to his nap*
[jd] *is flabbergasted by the sudden arrival of so many people*
[nix] *to Jill* I know there's something wrong, you just won't tell me.
[andrew] People just don't tell us when they're gonna transport us or something... *stare*
[jack] They're witches. It's second nature.
[jill] It's nothing, what are you talking about?
[ezra] *is proud of what an awesome job he has done*
[nix] Nothing.
[andrew] *smells the aroma of Paula's cooking* Mmm, chicken afritada! *goes to the table and sees JD* Who's this? *rudely points to JD, and is confused*
[jill] *shrugs* Nix's friend.
[mark] Oh no! *brings Kevin away from the chicken afritada* You cruel, cruel people! Slaughtering chickens for your own personal enjoyment! Shame on you!
[andrew] Oh no is right! I can't eat this stuff, I can't eat anything that was once alive and breathing! I will become..... a VEGAN!
[nix] Whatever.
[jd] *is finally done eating and approaches Nix* You're the only one I know here. What happens to me?
[mark] Me too! *veganizes*
[kevin] *clucks happily*

What Should We Do Now? (5th post ba to?)

[jd] Wow. Like what films? Did your friends study Film too?
[ezra] *looks at Paula confusingly* *continues to eat*
[paula] What films? Oh. Uhm...just simple documentary films about bands. *smiles* Er... I think Leena took film too. *gets some more rice from the rice bowl* But I'm a year older than her so... she isn't a graduate yet.
[jd] Where is she then? *continues eating*
[paula] She's in NYC with her cousins... She also studies in NYU. *grins through gritted teeth*
[ezra] *decides he did not like this kind of dog food* *falls asleep on jd's shoe*
[jill] *suddenly bursts into the room* You! *points at jd* Surrender my dog! *uses Mystic powers to make jd giggle uncontrollably*
[jd] *giggles uncontrollably* *cannot control his uncontrollable giggling* Wha... How.. Do? *can't talk with all the giggling*
[paula] JILL!!!!! *hugs Jill* He did not steal your dog or anything. Actually, he said he found it somewhere... *makes JD snap out of the uncontrollable giggling with a wave of her wand*
[jill] I've been shadowing you all the way from STC. We got separated in Hawaii. You dognapper! *makes jd hiccup uncontrollably*
[paula] Ooohhh... So that's where he spotted Ezra. By the way, Jill...when did you arrive? *takes pity on JD and stops the uncontrollable hiccup* I guess we should hear his side first.
[jill] Aw. Darn it. My bad. *notices that the hiccuping had caused jd to pass out* Don't worry, he'll wake up in a few minutes. *picks up ezra, who is still sleeping* I came in from Hawaii as soon as I sensed Ezra's presence in STC. *grins proudly about her own incredible Mystic powers* Thanks for taking care of my house, Paula.
[jd] *passed out (away hahaha)* *slowly gains consciousness after a few minutes* Wha? What happened? Why am I on the floor...and where am I? *looks around and sees Jill and Paula then quickly stands up and backs away from the two* What are you people? You...do..witchcraft! Stay away from me..
[jill] Yes, we do witchcraft, and we do it an awful lot. Too bad you won't remember it after I Obliviate you. Oh well, sorry for making you pass out. *pulls out her wand and points it towards jd*
[jd] *snatches the wand* I don't know what you were about to do but I'll tell the cops! *starts to run away*
[ezra] *wakes up suddenly* *sniffles around* *chases jd like a lightningbolt* RAWR *sinks his teeth into jd's ankle, causing him to fall flat on his stomach* *sniffs jd's jeans* *finds a cookie in his pocket* *eats cookie*
[andrew] Hey, do you know how to work this thing? *shakes bottle*
[mark] Maybe you shake it. *shake*
[Vodka Cruiser] *immediately comes to life* Stop shaking me!!!
[mark] Eek! *drops vodka cruiser*
[andrew] *is instantly brought somewhere else with Jack and Mark as the bottle fell* Is this Vegas?
[Vodka Cruiser] No, it's Brunei.
[mark] Eek! You're still here?!
[Vodka Cruiser] No way, I'm going to Vegas. See you. *disappears*
[jack] Hey!
[andrew] Oh well. *looks around* Oooh, there's a phone booth! I can call Nix, I have her number. C'mon! *drags Jack and Mark*
[jack] But you have to have Brunei money.
[mark] Oh, here. *discovers a coin in his pocket* *gives it to andrew*
[andrew] Where do you get those things?? *takes coin and uses the payphone* *is waiting for Nix to answer the phone* Do you think she can help us?
[jack] She's a witch. She can do anything.
[hotel receptionist] *hears phone ringing* *grumbles angrily* *answers* Vegas Hotel, how may I help you?
[andrew] Err, hello? I'm looking for a Nix, what's her last name, Vallerine!! Nichelle Vallerine. May I speak to her? Please?
[hotel receptionist] Who's speaking, please? And do you know her room number? We at the Vegas Hotel pride ourselves on keeping our customers safe and secure.
[andrew] It's me, Andrew! *smiles* *whispers to Mark* Give me a number..
[mark] Eleventy-three.
[andrew] Room 113?
[h.r.] Oh, that's actually correct, sir. Who's calling please?
[andrew] It's me, Andrew! *smiles*
[h.r.] Andrew who?
[andrew] Andrew Schimmer...
[h.r.] Alright, sir, please stay on the line. I think she's at the buffet.

Meet JD (fourth post)

[paula] *is currently cooking lunch at Jill's house in Cubao* Hmm... I wonder how long it would take Jill to stay in Hawaii for vacation. I'm kinda bored here. Oh well.. *hums Thnks Fr Th Mmrs*
[doorbell] *rings*
[paula] Ah! The doorbell! I'll get that! *hurriedly heads toward the door and unlocks it*
[still unknown guy] *was the one who rang the doorbell* Now I think this is where you live, Ezra. It says so on your collar. I hope I get a reward for bringing you back home..
[paula] Uhm... How may I help you? *suddenly sees Ezra* Hey, is that Jill's dog? Ezra...? *pats Ezra*
[still unknown guy] Jill's dog? You mean you're not Ms. Velasquez?
[paula] No. I'm Paula, Jill's friend. She entrusted her house to me while she's away. She's in ---- Hey, wait a minute. Who are you anyway? And why is Ezra with you? *slightly frowns*
[still unknown guy] I'm JD, and a stranger gave me Ezra. I think they had problems with him.
[paula] Ahh... I see.
[jd] Uh, yeah. So..err.. *gives Ezra to Paula*
[ezra] Arf! *scrambles back to JD*
[paula] Er... I think it doesn't like me. *looks surprised* Blimey, I usually get along with dogs.. *mutters something* Well, since it likes to stick with you, you might as well have lunch here. I'm almost done cooking anyway. Come in.
[jd] *pets Ezra* Okay, thanks. *smiles then enters Jill's house*
[paula] *closes the door and ushers JD into the kitchen* I think we can eat now. *turns the stove off and sets the table* You do eat Chicken Afritada, don't you?
[jd] Yup, I do. Do you have anything for Ezra? I think he's also hungry. *places Ezra on the floor*
[paula] Hmm... *rummages for dog food in the kitchen cabinet and spots a pack of Pedigree* Here we are. *places a large amount of Pedigree on a dog plate and puts it in front of Ezra* Eat up, Ezra. *sits by the table* Let's eat then.
[ezra] *pushes his bowl with his nose and gets closer to JD* *eats*
[jd] I guess he really likes me. *looks at the food* It looks delicious!
[paula] Yeah. You bet it is. I studied culinary arts a few years ago. *looks pleased with herself* Go ahead then, eat. *eats*
[jd] Wow. Are you still studying? *eats*
[paula] No. Not anymore. It's been a year since I graduated. *eats some more*
[jd] Oh. *takes a bite* Me, I just graduated, but now I'm in law school. *grins* Where did you study?
[paula] *chokes and hurriedly drinks a glass of water while thinking if she would tell JD the truth or not* Where I studied?? NYU. I took Film and Audiovisual Communication aside from Culinary Arts. *grins*
[jd] You okay? So what do you do now for a living? Do you do films and stuff?
[paula] Yeah...I'm fine. Er... Now? Y-yes, I do films. But not the ones seen on big screens. I make independent films, with the help of my friends.

The not-so-beginningly beginning (THIRD)

[andrew] Hey! How are we supposed to work this thing?
[still unknown guy] *watches the car go back inside then leaves* *pets Ezra and finds a name plate on his collar* So..you're name's Ezra? Hi boy! I guess you belong to a Jill Velasquez..

Ezra (whoo second post)

[ezra] *wakes up in the faculty room* ?!
[ms t] Oh no may dog ay diyos ko!
[rdk] Ay nako you bring that dog outside right now.
[sir ben] Try to solve it mentally.
[sir vilo] Come here, iha!
[sir macky] Kung may tools lang ako, mailalabas ko yang dog.
[sir daddy] Ako bahala, kids.
[ms aguilar] Eureka! Eureka!
[ngalbu] ehehehehe *laglag pustiso*
[still unknown guy] *walks along an avenue* *hears a commotion from the second floor of a high school he passed by* Huh?
[bogo] Hay naku, akin na. *takes dog from Sir Daddy* Ako na bahala rito, maliwanag? *brings dog to his car and is on the way to the nearest dog pound*
[still unknown guy] *peers into the gate and sees a car approaching*
[bogo] *opens window* Um, may kailangan ka ba? Hmm. Gusto mo ba ng aso?
[still unknown guy] Hindi naman po pero pwede rin.
[bogo] Sige sa'yo na 'to. Wag mo nang ibalik sakin ah, naintindihan mo ba?
[still unknown guy] Eh, sige po. *takes Ezra*

Palawan (whoo first post)

[mark] *wakes up* yay *finds himself in the middle of the jungle* Where am I? *walks around*
[andrew] *is sunbathing at a beach in Palawan* *lies down on the sand beside some trees*
[mark] *wanders around**finds andrew on the beach**gets excited at the thought of being saved from the jungles of Palawan at last* Hey, Andr...! *trips over andrew's shoe, which had been thrown somewhere by the trees**gets amnesia* Oh, hello. Who are you?
[andrew] Mark! *gets up* It's good to see you again! *hugs Mark* Me and Sandy missed you!
[mark] *push* Hey, get your hands off me, stranger whom I just met five seconds ago!
[andrew] What? It's me, Andrew! Remember? We've been to UK and Scotland and Japan.. And don't you remember Sandy? You were the one who found her!
[mark] I don't remember anything at all... Except something about Dr Bruce from Nestle, who ever that is. Oh please help me remember who I am. *clings to andrew*
[andrew] I think I know what to do! Remember Nix and Jill and Leena and, er, all those witches? They probably know something that can help you, only I don't know where they are. Last I heard Nix was at Vegas.. *blabbers*
[jack] *wanders into the vicinity**absentmindedly reads a piece of paper* Hello, my name is Jack, I will be your tourguide for this morni... Andrew? Mark?
[mark] Look, friend, a tourguide! *hugs jack*
[andrew] Jack? You're a tour guide? Thought you were a star at That Shows All?
[jack] What? No, I was a star at All That, but I thought I had been in UK and Scotland and Japan with you guys but for some reason I woke up in an old man's fishing boat over there. So I got a job as a tour guide.
[andrew] So you have no idea where Jill and Michael are? All I can remember is me going home all alone and me deciding to have a vacation here with Sandy.
[jack] Should we go find them? What's wrong with Mark?
[mark] Who's Mark?
[andrew] You are. *to Jack* You see, he doesn't remember me and Sandy. Maybe he remembers you! *points*
[mark] I told you, I have amnesia. I think I tripped and hit my head. Oh well.
[jack] Well, how do we find them?
[andrew] I don't know where they are, but I know Nix is in Vegas. *nods*
[jack] How did you know that?
[andrew] She told me after I lost to her at poker. She now has my skateboard since that was the only thing I brought with me.
[jack] Then how do we get there? We're all Muggles.
[andrew] Hey! You're forgetting I have powers, too! But I can't bring you all. And I'm supposed to be enjoying my vacation!!!
[jack] Fine! I'll take Mark and go find a way to get to Vegas to figure out how to fix Mark's brain! [andrew] But..but..but.. You'll leave me? *gets all sad*
[jack] But you said you wanted to enjoy your vacation?
[andrew] But going to be Vegas could still be part of my vacation. I just don't want to think too much about how to get there..
[mark] Then let's just use this portkey *produces an empty bottle of Vodka Cruiser*
[jack] Where did you get that?
[mark] I don't remember. It was in my pocket when I forgot everything.
[jack] How did you know it's a portkey?
[mark] What's a portkey?
[andrew] Goodie! Now we hold hands....wait! *grabs a handful of sand* We musn't forget Sandy. Let's go! *holds on*
