Re: 2/2

[testgasm]

What.

[For once in his young robot life, Wheatley seems to be entirely at a loss for words. This defies absolutely everything he knows about the universe. People don't just turn into small animals. What kind of crazy nonsense is this!?]

What!?

[Ultimately, however he has no choice but to follow along, as everyone zips past him (ghost included--he supposes there is something to be said for being a fast-moving, distracting little thing). It's an effort to keep up, so he settles for calling down the long hallways.]

Wait, wait wait--how did you--how did you do that!?

1/2

[dragonbadfaith]

[Sorry, can't answer right now! Draco takes a sharp turn, disappearing around a corner, and the ghost follows after him. He heads straight for a dead end and lunges for the wall, using it to bounce right off of and turn himself around so that he can sprint back in the direction he just came from.

It takes the ghost a second to figure it out and instead of immediately chasing after him again, it seems to get confused at there suddenly being a wall in front of it. Draco takes advantage of its hesitation and dashes back toward Wheatley.]

2/2

[dragonbadfaith]

[He morphs back into human form just as he passes the robot.]

Magic! [Though he doesn't slow down, just keeps running.] Come on!

[Draco keeps moving until there's another side-path they can duck into. Hopefully by the time the ghost catches up, it'll just keep going down the straight corridor and not realize Draco and Wheatley took a detour.]

Re: 2/2

[testgasm]

Right, yeah, magic, silly me.

[Still, it's not like he has much choice in the matter, and he takes off after Draco, tossing a glance over his "shoulder" (for all intents and purposes), to make sure the ghost isn't in pursuit. So far so good.]

Next thing you're going to tell me is that wizards are real, or something.

[dragonbadfaith]

[He's panting a little by the time they find their side-path to hide in, and he just rolls his eyes at Wheatley.]

Of course wizards are real. What do you think I am?

[Chances a look back out into the longer hallway.]

I think we've lost him. Or her. The ghost thing.

[testgasm]

Uh, some kind of horrific science experiment gone wrong, maybe?

[He's seen those. They're not pretty, and it's the only way he can make sense of this. Sorry, Draco.]

Do you see a way out, then?

[dragonbadfaith]

[Ignores the question, because no, he doesn't, and just twists around to frown at the TRUE MUGGLE EXPERIMENT GONE WRONG, hmph.]

Magic is real. As are wizards. Do I need to show you again? [Harrumphs.] You don't see me doubting you and we don't have robots where I'm from.

[testgasm]

Okay, okay, let's just--let's just say, hypothetically, that magic is real and you are a wizard. So you don't--you don't need to do that again.

[Wheatley's not sure he wants to see something like that again. It's a little too much for his delicate robot sensibilities.

Thankfully, he sees a potential end to this nightmare.]

There, that way! I think.

[dragonbadfaith]

[Shrugs, grinning a bit.]

If you insist. I would hate to unsettle you further.

[He glances the way indicated, then nods.]

Alright. Since you think, you lead.
