What's with all the Kids?

[dresdensluck]

Harry was worried and tired. Exhausted, really. Harry had started realizing that there were more kids than usual recently. At first he thought Q was just being particularly cruel and bringing in kids without their parents. It seemed like the sort of chaotic thing Q might do. But as time went on, and the number of the new kids grew, he realized that the people in the ship were somehow being turned themselves. Which led to him now working in his rooms to try to figure out if he could help, somehow, with his magic. He had been slaving at it night and day, but even a wizard who liked to help others needed a break.

Hence, Harry was in Ten Forward today, scarfing down some food, staring at nothing at all, and wishing he had a rather large bat to hit Q with whenever the crazy being came up with a new thing to create more chaos. He had, with some reluctance, left all of his research in his room, and was sitting alone in one corner, hoping he would revive his tired mind enough to keep working some more before he fell asleep working. Again.

Myka didn't look much better than Harry. She had been keeping careful track of the number of Children on the ship, and that number had been steadily increasing. She was however keeping a careful record, and kept the notebook with her at all times.

She grabbed some food, and looked around. "You look as bad as I feel. Mind some company?"

Harry smiled, glancing at her, nodding as he did so, his eyes not quite meeting hers. He never met people's eyes if he could help it. Soulgazing random strangers was not fun.

"Sure. Welcome to the fun." His smile was lopsided but welcoming. "Been enjoying Q's latest little craziness?"

Myka laughed softly. "Actually, I May have escaped the fun," She said sitting down. "I'm Myka by the way," She said. "How did you manage to avoid the crazy?"
