Help, please?

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

I'm back. After reading through the backlog? OMGOMG I love you all. <3333

And now, I need help. Bartleby is at present locked in his room. What I'd like to do is stay in that room, but be able to have people come in, probably singly, and have a conversation with me, if that makes any sense? And I can't quite see how to do it. Because Sirius ain't going to just leave the key lying around, so I need a rationale for him to let people in. And I really, really doubt that "Because Bartleby asked" is going to cut it.

So, any ideas? *looks at peanut gallery*

Sirius would probably allow visitors if Bartleby was behaving sanely again and not being rude or anything. Perhaps he realises he can't fly and begins to mope, and Sirius allows people in to see him because he's depressed?

well the more magically inclined could use a spell, which cuts out sirius entirely and gives the added bonus of braking the boss guys rules. but i think the rest of us are kinda left out in the cold.

Anthy could bring him flowers! ♥ Walls won't stop her.

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

But if you were trusting him to that degree, why wouldn't you let him out of the room altogether? (Which, btw, please don't do. Wingless and caged Bartleby will be fun to play.)

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

It leaves a large number of people out, as you say, although something like that might be a last resort.

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

If you give him a black rose, he will quite probably try to hurt you. :D

I am teh smrt. Ph334r my usage of double meanings!

*squints*

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

Er, double meaning? Whuh?

Oh. Hee. Right.

*smirks*

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

See, it was a subtle and smrt double meaning, so you didn't get it straight away.

Or even at all, possibly. Shall I explain?

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

Oh, and if you really want a pinecone, I think I have one. I put one in my bag, anyway.

However, if you were joking, ignore me, and pretend I'm not a humourless and overly keen dork, please. *blinks*

I think I got it. After, like, five minutes. But feel free to explain it anyway, because I was going to so I could check, and I can't figure out how to word it. Most perplexing. But then I am sleepy.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Hm. It's a point. Well, presumably the ethereals could bypass the locks somehow? But then why wouldn't Bartleby just do that himself....

[muddypetticoats.livejournal.com]

Liz is pretty guilt-wracked regarding the situation with Bartleby, and going home on Wednesday night. She'd want to try to talk to him if he was willing, in case she couldn't make it back.

Re: *smirks*

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

Black rose makes people act without conscience, yeah? And therefore Bartleby quite probably would kill Anthy.

But also, it was a figure of speech. You know, "I'll kill you if you embarrass me by giving me flowers".

If that makes any sense?

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well, I was half-joking -- my mum really does collect pine cones. Email me copperbadge at gmail dot com and I'll send you the address I'm at till the 29th.

Re: *smirks*

[anthy-rosebride.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. Damn. It would have been funny if I hadn't totally killed it.

(He can't kill Anthy, though. She's immortal. :P)

[ms-nitt.livejournal.com]

I can just see Elizabeth kneeling on the floor talking to him through the keyhole... :D

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

Again, a point. Damn, this is going to be way more difficult than I'd hoped. Ummmmm...

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but how?

Also, going home? When'll you be back?

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Sirius coulda stuck him to the bed somehow...:D

Re: *smirks*

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

You didn't kill it. *pats* There was nothing to kill.

(Severely harm, though. Ha!)

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

Oh God, so can I. *giggles*

[watch-wait.livejournal.com]

With duct tape or something. Or flypaper. :D

[muddypetticoats.livejournal.com]

Ooh, good idea! She probably would, if she had no other option.

[copperbadge.livejournal.com]

Krazy Glue :D

[surexit.livejournal.com]

*sticks hand up* I'm not washing the sheets. You can be responsible for the glue all over them.
