For a couple of weeks, in Ib's room, there'd been a painting of a little girl holding a bright red rose, while the subject herself was nowhere to be found. Today, though, the frame depicted only a red room, with no one present at all.

Ib stood in front of the painting, examining it with a critical eye. It wasn't that interesting of a painting, except that she'd never wished for it to be there. She'd only just woken up to find herself lying on the floor beneath it, with no recollection of falling asleep there. Well, at least she was up, and the matter of the painting was easily fixed. A polite request to thin air, and the ghosts floated out of the walls and took the frame away.

With that taken care of, and none the wiser as to what day it was, she went about her morning routine - water her rose, brush her teeth, brush her hair, change clothes, and pin the blue cloth rose to her shirt. By the end of it, her stomach was growling insistently. All right, down to the kitchen we go.

((ooc: wide open! Ib can be found pretty much anywhere throughout the day, whether eating a late breakfast in the kitchen, having a look in the game room, reading in the gardens, or if you're a friend, knocking on your door. just let me know where~!))

Down in the kitchen, there may be an Ohjiro already present at the stovetop. His cooking certainly isn't on par with that of Shuko or her daughter, but he was certainly likely better at it than his older brother... Besides, pancakes weren't exactly very hard to make.

He wasn't paying very much attention to his surroundings since he was concentrating on his pancake flipping. He's probably glancing over his shoulder every now and then, over at the doll of his he had sitting on the table behind him.

temporal continuity? WHO NEEDS IT

[bravelittlegirl]

Ib, having only talked to Ohjiro via journal so far, didn't recognize him at all. That wasn't surprising, though; there was often somebody else in the kitchen when she came down here. But the doll on the table was unusual, and she leaned in for a closer look. Was it actually a doll, or a real person made small by the castle?

certainly not Paradisa!

[princeandwizard]

Wizard would be making no motions, only sitting there with his eyes closed. Much to Ohjiro's personal disappointment, after having spent a week in Hogwarts with the doll moving of his own accord. Ohjiro would be glancing over his shoulder again, noticing the girl looking over at Wizard.

"He won't be moving anymore, sadly, if that's what you're waiting for." he smiled then, "Good morning."

[bravelittlegirl]

Ib turned quickly to face him, startled. "Oh! Um, good morning." But after only a moment, she was already glancing back at Wizard. "... What happened to him?" she asked.

[princeandwizard]

"Oh, nothing." He'll take a step away from the stove and look around her at Wizard. "The castle actually had him enchanted for a week. Seeing him move on his own was quite the sight."

He'll look over at Ib, "After we got back from the magic school, he stopped, so I suppose it was only for that duration. I'd only be able to make him move now if I had access to something from home."

[bravelittlegirl]

Ib pondered that for a moment. So he didn't normally move on his own... "He's a normal doll, then," she inferred aloud.

[princeandwizard]

"In a way he is, yes." Ohjiro stepped up beside Ib, lifting Wizard from the table and into a sitting position in his hand, turning to her.

"He's a normal doll right now, but he's got a lot of electronic gadgets inside of him," He smiled, "If I had access to something called a 'Layer', he'd be able to move effortlessly."

[bravelittlegirl]

"A 'Layer'?" said Ib, intrigued. She'd had a few dolls with moving parts when she was little, but none of them really moved on their own, or at least not very well.
