Shall we take bets on whether or not zombies are the worst thing we'll see this year?

[Horst is lounging on a couch near a fire, a book open and on his chest.]

I realized, with all the new arrivals especially, we have a pool of unusual skills here. Would anyone be willing to teach a few classes? For instance: I could teach...oh, bar tending. Card dealing. Physics and labwork--you know, whatever there is interest for.

The ponies could teach 'Frolicking 101'. The angels could teach 'Offending Someone in Two Words or Less'.



[PRIVATE to RACHEL]

Have you done opera at all?

Hence the look.]</sub>

[What? He reads. Sometimes.]

I'm even sober.

[Ever think you're spending too much time with him?]

[snarkypotions]

Shocking.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Isn't it just?

What's your favorite opera?

[snarkypotions]

...Are you sure you're sober?

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Are you avoiding the question, Herr Snape?

[snarkypotions]

Only until I determine why you are asking such a question.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

I'm going to ask a friend for a performance, and I can't decide which.

[snarkypotions]

Why?

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

...Because.

German opera--it's about the only thing I miss from home.

[snarkypotions]

I see.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

You never indulged in the theater, Herr Snape?

[snarkypotions]

I have, though it has been a while.

_{[Have a sigh before he decides to finally answer Horst's question.]}

Wagner's Ring is enjoyable.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[Horst thinks, then hums thoughtfully] I don't recall ever seeing that one. What is it about?

[snarkypotions]

A ring.

_{[Snape, the epitome of helpful.]}

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

For the finger or.... [Cheeky innocent look]

[2/2]

[snarkypotions]

_{[Reigning in his annoyance.]}

Seeing as it is based mainly off of Norse mythology and not Greek mythology...

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

[That gets a real laugh. Touche, Snape.]

All right, all right. If I find it in here I'll see if I can get someone to sing it.

[snarkypotions]

Don't bother. All four operas combined together into the cycle requires four continuous nights at the opera.

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

It's your favorite, you said?

[snarkypotions]

I said it's enjoyable.

_{[His favorite is Faust. Unsurprisingly.]}

[ahandsomedevil.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll just have to leave it a surprise then.

[snarkypotions]

_{[Horst. Surprise. In the same sentence.]}
