Daisy was a little startled when the other girl took off, but she waited patiently for her return. It turned out it didn't take very long, and before long Monica was back with two strange looking balls.
Daisy didn't quite make the catch, and the ball bounced once off the floor after it hit her before she scooped it up again. She examined it closely, noting a bit of resemblence in color to a quaffle. However, the texture was completely different. She didn't think quaffles bounced.
"Do you score by putting it through a hoop, like in quidditch?" Daisy asked, looking at the ball and wondering how the game was played. It must be played on the ground, because muggles couldn't fly broomsticks. She also doubted they had things like bludgers in muggle sports too. She supposed you couldn't if you couldn't instantly mend broken bones. The players would stay injured too long.

"yup but the hoops aren't fifty feet high....." she said as she smiled. "This is a soccer ball...only goalies...keepers...touch the ball with their hands...otherwise....you're disqualified" she said as she bounced the ball on her head. She jumped up as she bounced it again. Being fifteen hadn't taken all the fun out of her still. She was glad she had it in her.
"Wanna play...I could teach you the rules...after I eat of course...its not too hard...soccer or basketball..."
Daisy was very touched by the offer, but she had to shake her head, her expression tinged with the slightest bit of sadness.
"My doctor said that I'm not allowed to play sports. I'm very little, so he says it's not safe for me. I could hurt myself." Daisy's smile had faded, but she was determined not to get herself and her new friend down, so she put on a new one and pushed her chin up.
"I'd love to learn the rules though, and maybe watch you play a little. I'm rubbish at sports anyway, so it's no loss." Daisy paused for a moment to pull a bare lollipop stick from her mouth. She had finished all of the candy on it. Her mouth was now dyed bright red by the candy, and her teeth were distinctly pink.

"sure....and...we could play this...with computers one time...Bloor's got them...I go over thre in the summer...trust me where I come from...school's never out of session" she groaned as she took the two balls and smiled. She than said. "what do you wanna do now?"
"Comput...ers..." Daisy seemed to stumble on the word, as though she had never heard it before, which was exactly the fact. "Are they some sort of muggle thing? If they're electronic, they won't work here."
At Monica's last question, Daisy had to think for a second. There were certainly lots of things to do around here, but the question was what.
"I don't know..." Daisy said, and shrugged. "Do you have any suggestions? I don't really know much about what people do at a school like this."

"um...wizard chess and gobstones...you can probablly do those sitting down here..." she pointed to the table she was just at. "We could go exploring....I'm an expert at finding stuff around schools and large places...dunno why..." she said with a grin.
"Ooh, exploring!" Daisy exclaimed, her face lighting up with excitement. She had been waiting for an excuse to run amok and explore all of the passageways of the school. Maybe they could find a hidden passage into Drakborough! Then again, she wouldn't really have to worry about that, because they were more or less allowed to go when they had free time.
Daisy pulled her lollipop from her mouth, holding it high above her head and wielding it like it was Excalibur or some other famous sword. She swished it down and stuck it back in her cheek, grinning from ear to ear.
"Let us discover sights that have never been seen before!" she declared, standing up as tall as she could, consumed by excitement and imagination.

Monica laughed. "wow....so you know aobut King Arthur too? you remind me of the red king kinda too..." she smiled. "All right we'll go whenever you feel like it today..we'll explore and than I'll watch you go back to your dorm and I'll go back to mine...whoops no I wont I gotta head to the library....got work to do"
Daisy had been so absorbed in the idea of exploring, she hadn't really considered when, where, or how. Her brow furrowed comically in thought, the expression looking very silly and innocent on her tiny, thin visage.
The candy was gone from the stick in her mouth, so she pulled it from her mouth, placed the used stick in my pocket, and unwrapped another lollipop, taking a thoughtful lick.
"I wouldn't mind leaving now, but I don't know where we'd go. We could go to the tower or the dungeons, or even the lake." Daisy's face cracked with a brightly colored grin, stained with the dye of countless lollipops. Then, with another thought, she shuddered a bit.
"Just as long as we don't go to the crypt. They're scary."

"I was hoping we'd go to the crypt but...oh well fine we'll go to the dungeons and see what happens" she said as she made her way out. Her hair bounced as she went out of the door and headed for the dungeons she hadnt been exploring since Bloor's and she had been in trouble back than after she had done that but she knew she was allowed this time.
"Thanks," Daisy said, responding to the fact that Monica was considerate enough to understand that she didn't want to go there. She shuddered one more time at the thought of the crypt, but she need not worry about it because they were going to the dungeons instead.
"Alright, let's go!" she said enthusiastically, following Monica to the dungeons. She hoped the girl knew where she was going better than she did, but it shouldn't be so hard to find. They were going in the general direction of down.
OOC: I guess you should start the next thread at the dungeons because it's your turn to post.
