RP: NIcky and Theo Who: Nicolette Macmillian and Theodore Nott Where: Department of Mysteries When: May 17, 2025 Rating/Warning: Summary: Nicky does some testing
Testing began last week with a focus on non-living, inanimate objects. Her first test was simply a piece of parchment with a note requesting the date and time of arrival. Years one through three went back and reappeared without incident. However, year four, which included a leap year was slightly off. Nicky stopped testing to recalibrate to accommodate the two extra 23 hours and 56 minutes intervals since a decade would include two leap years.
She resumed testing only up to five years before moving on to other non-living, inanimate objects; a broom, a book, a cauldron, her desk. With each object she tested with, Nicky requested a date and time of arrival. Over the weekend, she went in search of living, inanimate objects; a sapling, a shrub and a flower for this week's testing, which would also include testing the non-living, inanimate objects over five years up to an actual decade. On her way to her work station, Nicky penned a quick note to her boss, informing him of her progress.
Dear Mr. Nott,
If you have some free time and wish to see a sapling age five years, I am testing the Decade Turner on living, inanimate objects this week. If satisfactory with the results, I will be moving on the living, animated subjects next Monday.
