Summary // Scheming

Elphie pulls on her shoes and starts out the door. She checks the floor in front of her door, making sure there are no unwanted sleeping boys there. There isn't, and she starts down the hall.

Deep in her own thoughts about her new living arrangements, she forgets why she's going to see Celine. As she descends down the stairs, she sees many people in pink clothing. She can't help but grin because she was one of the lucky ones inaffected. She remembered why she was going to see her now.

If people wanted to complain about clothing being missing and returned pink, she would be certain to make them complain for a reason. At least they had their clothing, albeit pink, but they were there nonetheless. Her mind began working as she came to Celine's door, 129.

She raised her slender green hand and knocked lightly on the door.

Celine is rather grateful that her roommate is out at the moment; he would no doubt just complain at length about the state of his pink clothing (or try to murder her), and that is something the mage can do without in front of a guest. She's been hiding out in her room most of the day since that dratted Xemnas uncovered her little prank; no doubt there are many people out for her blood, so she has only let her whereabouts become known to Elphie.

She wants to do something else to them; to give them something to really complain about, which is why she can't be more grateful she has the other woman on her side.

After a while, a light knock on the door signals Elphie's arrival, and she cautiously opens the door, just in case it was Ansem. That guy seriously scared her, not that she'd admit it.

"It's clear. No one is around." Elphie said evenly. The girl on the other side of the door looked perky, although she could sense a bit of fear. Or unease. One of those.

"May I come in?" she cracked a slight smile.

"Oh, that's a huuuuge relief!" Celine couldn't help but smile, quite relieved that someone wasn't standing at the other side of the door with a gun pointed at her head. She'd had threats aplenty; the last thing she needed was for someone to actually act on one of them.

She laughed a little, and held the door open for Elphie. "Sure! Excuse the mess, that would be my roommate's fault. I feel like just throwing his stuff outside, but~ Burning it'd be more fun, if I dared." She knew she was babbling just a little, and inwardly hoped the other woman wouldn't mind too much.

With an eyebrow raised, she entered the room. Clothes, pink, were strewn all over. Wrappers, papers, and some other things were all over. She shook her head, and deduced it down to the age and lack of cleanliness.

"Fire is your forte I assume?" she cocked her head. She was glad that the girl didn't use water or anything of the sort. She smiled a little and was careful not to trip over anything.

"What made you pull the prank anyhow? Sheer boredom?"

Obviously, cleaning up a bit of the mess left over from her dye experiment before Elphie arrived would've been a good idea, but unfortunately she'd thought about it too late. Ah, well. She may be twenty three, but by no means does it mean she has the mentality of one her age.

"It is mostly, but I'm pretty good at using ice and thunder-based as well." Celine doesn't want to sound too cocky or confident, especially since she hasn't exactly practiced since she got to the mansion over two months ago. No matter.

"My, my. Hit the nail straight on the head! Yes, it was just sheer boredom. And I thought it'd make people lighten up~! How wrong I was, hah."

Nodding, she looked out the window.

"Usually, taking someone's clothing without consent and then damaging them... It isn't a good way to lighten the mood. However it could have been much worse. They don't seem to realize this. They aught to be grateful you returned them, pink or not."

Elphie sighed and stretched. "You need to show them that they shouldn't take things so seriously. Perhaps another prank. Something more... Amusing."

Celine grinned sheepishly. "It was just going to be the stealing of the clothes first... let 'em walk around in naught but their bedclothes for a few days, but. We~ell... it was a bit impulsive of me to dye them I realise darling, but they'll get over it. One day~ And exactly! I should've burned them."

She clapped her hands together in delight. "That's a wonderful idea! And I'm enlisting you to help me! This'll be fun, as long as we can think of something. Amusing. Evil. Whatever your word of choice is!"

She blinked a little. She didn't want to involved herself in the prank herself. More like give the girl some ideas and Elphie would sit back and watch.

"Help?" her voice remained flat and monotone. She didn't show much sign of concern, however the feeling of slight caution was slowly take over.

"Lead them all on a scavenger hunt. Perhaps through different rooms in the mansion. Lure them with the promise of escape or a way home. Instead at the end, there would be something there waiting instead."

"Well, help only if you want to. I'll take all the blame, initiative, whichever. I just need a little help inthe planning of it~ That's all!" Celine could get the vibe that Elphie wasn't all too keen in actually executing the plan... and it was perfectly understandable. The mage had already pissed off half the mansion; she doesn't want to drag Elphie down with her.

She resisted the urge to clap her hands in glee at the idea, and instead nodded. "That's a great idea~ People are so bored here, if we lure them with the promise that they can go home, so many will fall for it! And I'm sure I can enlist the help of one of my aquaintances to make the something waiting a little more... unpleasant than they would hope."

"What would the end result be? A party to make amends for the pink clothing? Another prank? Some sort of reward for being first?" she crossed her arms in front of her, pondering what the "prize" could be.

"However, with a false hope of returning home, we could make them angrier." she mused, her finger rasping on her chin lightly.

"Must leave no trails, no signs no clues..." she murmured. Elphaba was never one for tricks and games, but until her stay in the mansion, she wasn't very social. Now look at her. She was plotting with a hyper girl, a girl, if in her own world and time, would have ignored.

"I shouldn't have to make amends with them just because they can't take a joke," Celine huffed, but knew that she would probably have to anyway, lest she want half the mansion mad at her for the rest of her life there. However long or short that turned out to be. "I'm sure we can think of something."

She giggled. "Is that even possible? I mean, everyone that got affected wants to kill me now anyway~ I didn't think they could get any madder~"

No doubt, whatever she did this time would take a lot more precision, planning, and careful execution than the dye prank. She'd thought last time her plan was flawless; but the people of the mansion weren't as stupid as she'd previously anticipated. Pity. "This should be easier to get away with, I think, but we'll still have to be pretty careful." she mused. "But we're intelligent - we can do it!"

With a smile at the last remark, Elphie reached out and slid a finger along the edge of the computer. "Or we could make it appear as if it was another one of the mansion's jokes."

She turned her head and looked down her pointed nose at Celine. "No slip ups. We must act normal. No one can suspect a thing. We'd have to adapt the rabbit's tone. Take turns posting odd riddles and the like."

She grimmaced. "It may be a bit more involved than we planned. And with us having roommates, we'd have to be more wary."

This was getting better and better. People blamed the mansion for everything -- from food appearing out of nowhere to getting awful costumes for Halloween -- making it look as though this was one of the mansion's little tricks would be perfect. "Oooh. I love that idea. And then -- it gets the blame, no one'll suspect us~!"

Celine nodded, and folded her arms, thinking the possibilities through a bit. "Yeah~ I promise, I'll be extra careful! I'm not going to screw up twice in a row; I can promise you that~" It was a risky thing to do, but she was more than prepared to do it. She didn't want another excuse for Ansem to be out for her blood.

Oh, yes. Roommates. She'd forgotten about them. "Mine's oblivious as a bat; he's too busy pining over his co-worker to pay any attention to what I do. He didn't even pick up on the dye incident, haha. What about yours? Maybe he could help~?"

She smirked. "I think he will be no problem. Perhaps he could prove to be an alibi should things get a little... awkward."

Elphie had a feeling that Luxord would do anything should she ask. He seemed quite devoted, which was odd, because they barely knew each other.

"So... When should this little game begin? And how? Are we able to even approach the Rabbit's special bulletin board? We could post the notice there. Listing the first search or activity."

Wandering about the room, she wondered if people would even fall for the trickery.

Ah, yes. Agreeable, helpful people. The type she liked best. "An alibi would be handy, just in case. Good! We've got back-up." Celine was quite pleased about that.

The special bulletin board may prove to be a problem. "We could try -- I mean, the worst that can happen is it's enchanted somehow, or something. If we don't go with the bulletin board, we can't be sure that everyone will see it. Yeah! Great idea~"

Celine thought about possible spells that could be used to check the bulletin board for enchantments -- but after a while, none come to mind of hers that would be useful. "Do you have any spells that could be used to look for enchantments in an object, by any chance?"

She blinked several times. "If I had the Grimmerie here, perhaps I could have helped. But I don't. All I can do is... make things happen." she said trying to be more assertive, but she herself wasn't even sure of what she could do. Yes, she made Vexen's clothes turn back to black, but... Thats all she's really done since being here. She didn't count the cigarette butt on Eiri's can because, well, that was small and childish.

"No, but perhaps you can make an illusion of a bulletin. Make it look like it is on it, but, it actually isn't?" Elphie took a seat on one of the cleaner chairs and propped her elbows on her knees.
