Tick.Tock.[open]

[tech]

Tick tock, tick tock the clock went in the darkness of the night, it hadn't been dark long. But even so it still had someone nearby. The crackling of a rock went through the clock tower as a rock comes out of the shadows jumping past the clock and off the tower, there stood Tenseki reading a book in the darkness of the shadow. He was leaning on the edge of the tower at the highest point he could get to,the book had a strange cover, it had all types of writings on it. What type of book was it? That question was not answered as of yet, it was a beautiful clear night, the moon shown bright. The clock tower had always been Tenseki's favorite spot in all of the school, it was quiet up there and a good spot for reading...at least in the morning.

A small smile crept onto Tenseki's face every once in a while, after and hour Tenseki slowly closed the book and tucked it away in his bag that was hanging on a hook like stone of the tower. It had been a while since he had stood up because he had to leech to the wall for support, he was a little wobbly for a few minutes trying to get his legs use to standing again. Slowly, he crept towards the edge and stood there gazing at the elegant moon, there were small breezes every once in a while, what to do. If he stood there he could fall, then what, would he just keep on falling hoping not to die? That was unlikely, Tenseki has perfect balance when he wants to, he didn't have many friends here, he was always about the place when nobody was around. So there was not much to reasons to come here other than his interest in magic and mysteries.

Tonight was the night she would finally do her job. Other nights, she'd used the excuse that she was a prefect to roam about, not even bothering to look for any trouble makers. But tonight, she felt it was about time that she brought justice to the shining little badge on her chest. But what was a prefect to do when no one was about the corridors? She'd seen so far no student out of bed, wandering the hallways or grounds, or bothering to cause a little havoc. What had the school come to? Back when she was in her first years, she loved going out to make mischeif.

She'd cast the dillusio spell on herself to keep her presence hidden, although nobody seemed to be around to hide from. Tonight she would visit the towers, thinking that maybe she'd find someone there. Now she was just looking out of pure boredom. As she came upon the clocktower, not making a sound, she saw a student. He wasn't doing anything at all, just sitting and reading. Monica entered the open area of the tower as quietly as possible, but the boy didn't seem to notice. She sat against the wall, a fair distance away, but at an angle so that she could see the boy clearly.

She had one leg crossed over the other, stretched out leisurely in front of her, jeans keeping her legs protected against the slight wind that occasionally swept through. She watched idly as the boy closed his book, standing. Maybe he was going to leave? He turned, his back to her. Careful not to make a sound, Monica pulled her wand, using wordless magic to remove the illusion spell. She crossed her arms beneath her chest, looking at the boy carefully. "It's a bit late to be out, don't you think?" she asked calmly, voice even. It held no warning or threat, only a tone of simple conversation.

[Hope you don't mind my entering. If you'd rather someone else respond, just tell me and this post is gone. =P]

The moon was still show bright, the frequent breezes sometimes made whistles that made them seem alive. It was a relaxing place to be, nobody would usually be there to bother you but tonight someone had appeared there. To no surprise Tenseki heard a person speak. It's a bit late to be out, don't you think?It sounded like the voice of a girl, and as Tenseki had guessed he was correct, a girl was sitting down behind him. Tenseki rarely gets surprised so you couldn't see much of an expression on his face, he was most likely expecting it. he continued to stand at the edge staring at the well lit moon as if nothing bothered him, but he would never ignore someone and had replied a few moments later."I guess so, i loose track of time easily when reading a good book,I'm sorry for the inconvenience. You probably want my name so I am Tenseki Jinchi. If you don't mind may i have your name?"

a prefect? Such a inconvenience, on such a nice night too. My habits do tend to cause me misfortune every once in a while.

This wasn't the time to be gazing at the moon, it took a few moments but Tenseki withdrew from the edge and picked up his bag. The book that Tenseki always wrote in was sticking out of it,he glanced at it for a moment and pushed it down back into the bag as he threw it over his shoulder. The entrance that Tenseki believed the girl came through was not to far away from where he walked to. He just stood there wondering how this would turn out, being smart wasn't alway the best thing in the world.

"Oh, it's no inconvenience," Monica responded lightly, giving him a rather blank look. "I was getting bored anyway," she said, standing up and stretching her back and her hands above her head. She tapped the tip of her foot lightly on the ground, then slid her hands into her pockets, her fingers brushing absently against her wand as she slid it back in. "Don't worry about it, I know how it is to really get into a book. I spend most of my time reading," she said shortly, giving the boy a knowing smirk-like smile.

Monica wasn't in the mood to command the boy back to his common room, whichever one it was, she couldn't tell his house. She leaned back idly on the stone wall, surveying him from the distance. He didn't look troublesome, or really very rude. But then, he could just be trying to save his house some points. Mentally shrugging, Monica answered his question after a moment of silent. "Reed," she cleared her throat. "I am Monica Reed. Gryffindor prefect, if you were wondering. If I may ask, what book were you reading?" she asked curiously, not missing him tucking away the book into his bag.
