When Snape heard the sound outside his door, his mood sank and he fought off an urge to fling the closest beaker against the far wall. He recognized well the scuffling sound of golem feet, the thump of a note being stuck to his door, and the subtle sound of his teeth grinding. Group activities. He hated them. He still remembered the painful nightmare of being forced to pick grapes and crush them between his toes. He also remembered, however, how useless it had been to resist, how he had been dragged kicking and screaming like a child to the vineyard. Opting out was not an option.

Going to the door to collect his "invitation", he shuddered anew when he read that he was to go bowling. Though he was not an avid player of recreational games, he was familiar with the game of boules and understood bowling to be a muggle adaptation of it. Furthermore, his walks through the common building had resulted in his awareness of the existence of a facility there designed for the accommodation of the pastime. Throwing on the clothes he had taken off the night before, he summoned a pumpkin pasty and headed for the main lodge. Best to get this nonsense over with.

The bowling alley, an odd room if he had ever seen one, was empty of other participants when he arrived. As he looked over the layout of the lanes and gutters, an attending golem handed him a pair of ugly muggle shoes and pointed to a bench. Snape assumed he was meant to wait for the others.

Michiru favored Jareth with a smile, polite, charming, and entirely false. His arrogance was equal parts amusing and annoying, and she was still trying to decide how to react. At least he was interesting. She thought about asking if he knew how to bowl, but decided it would be more fun to watch him figure it out on his own.

She stepped up to the lane and measured the distance. She took one step back, then three quick ones forward, releasing her ball down the lane. It rolled faster than she'd intended and curved at the very end, only knocking down six of the ten pins. She waited for her ball's return, and lined up her shot slower this time. The ball still curved at the end, to the left again, and she only managed to knock down another two pins.

"Ah well" she said, returning to the seats. She waved away a golem with a tray of beer and sat down. It was a bit early for drinks, and she'd never particularly enjoyed beer anyway. Not that she should have been drinking anything, but that hadn't stopped the Planet from serving her on more than one occasion.
