Might be a bit confusing with all the yellow for Gryffindor.

[doggedly]

We'll do it extra-sparkly. There will be no mistakes, and if there are, everyone will be too blinded by the sparkles to much care.

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He laughs outright at that-- a rare and quiet thing, and one he immediately covers with his hand.]

Perfect! Absolutely perfect. Come on, let's go find some water to transfigure, I think that's the best way to attack this.

[doggedly]

[He grins at that laugh, pleased to have gotten it from Remus--it's not always easy to do, after all!--and jumps to his feet, offering him a hand up.]

Your kitchens ought to serve to get water from, and there'll be pots and things to keep it in. C'mon!

[theshabbiestofmen]

[He grins and grabs Sirius' hand.]

We ought to set a time limit on it. Just so we can be certain the entire ship won't hate us when paint dries in their hair.

[doggedly]

Free colour for their hair! They won't hate us, some may even thank us. We will be brightening up mundane existences.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Would you thank someone if they dumped blue paint on you?

[doggedly]

They wouldn't do it to me.

[theshabbiestofmen]

They absolutely would, if you keep up that attitude.

[doggedly]

They might try, but they'd be outsmarted. As usual.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Who is this they, Sirius, do you imagine there's some sort of secret organization dedicated to try and subvert you?

[doggedly]

[He fixes Remus with a Very Significant Look as they walk along.]

They're out there, Remus. Don't think they aren't.

[theshabbiestofmen]

I see the madness has kicked in quite on time.

oops hello this one

[doggedly]

[He grins, immediately losing his Significant Look.]

Oh, you know what I mean. Everyone. Everyone on the ship. They're the they.

THE MADNESS WITHIN CHRISTINA

[theshabbiestofmen]

That doesn't make it any less paranoid, you realize, simply more coherent.

[doggedly]

It isn't paranoid. If you do the right things to people, they will eventually come after you. Look at Marlene McKinnon's brothers. Look what happened to me with them.

[theshabbiestofmen]

That was your own damn fault.

[doggedly]

[Loudly, almost talking over him:]

That was people coming after me just as I had feared. Point made.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Because you messed around with their sister!

[doggedly]

Honestly, Moony, what a way to phrase it. Their sister and I had a brief relationship, which then ended.

[theshabbiestofmen]

And you can't see why they'd be bothered by that.

[doggedly]

I didn't presume to ask if they'd be bothered. It wasn't the sort of conversation you wanted to stick around for.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Yes, but you bring these things on yourself, is my point.

[doggedly]

And then my supposed best mates pretend as if they don't know me so they can save their own skins. Very nice.

In any case, that won't be happening here, 'cos we're putting paint in the showers, we aren't stealing sisters or whatever it is I'm meant to have done to her.

[theshabbiestofmen]

Ravishing, I think it was.
