IC Prospective

[thelifeything]

Mun: Takato (I swear I'll choose eventually)
Character: Jane Crocker
Plot specific: kinda?



Well it looks as though Valentine's Day has come and gone again.
I hope nobody was terribly disappointed by not receiving anything or their string not connecting to someone else.
It's honestly kind of a relief to have such a thing off your shoulders.
Now let's all get excited about the match this weekend!

Do you know anybody who had a good string?

[thelifeything]

Well I guess that's the thing, isn't it?

I suppose it just chalks up to the fact that we are young and impressionable!

[fashioneighsta]

Well yes, but we are also young and eager! We should be dreaming big dreams, and looking forward to amazing destinies!

[thelifeything]

I...you're right. Especially with the war over and done with, we should be studying to help the wizarding world get back on its feet.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

uH, nO,
i WASN'T DISAPPOINTED AT ALL,
iT WAS JUST A REALLY, dUMB STRING,
wHO NEEDS STRINGS, rIGHT,

[thelifeything]

That's exactly right!
There's no need to pay attention to a silly string like that anyway!
It could be lying for all we know.

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

yES, yOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT,
tHOSE STRINGS ARE DIRTY LIARS, wE SHOULD CUT THEM,

[Only then does he realize the implication of this and then he feels a little guilty.]

uHHH, oKAY THAT IS A LITTLE, mEAN,

[thelifeything]

No, I think that's a perfectly valid reaction!
You tell those little silly strings, Tavros!

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

wELL< iT'S MORE LIKE, uH, i GUESS i FEEL BAD BECAUSE, oF THE PERSON AT THE END OF THE STRING,

oR RATHER, tHE PERSON IT LEAD ME TO, bUT DIDN'T CONNECT,,,
eVEN THOUGH THEY ARE LIARS, oF COURSE,
iT'S STILL, uH, nOT VERY NICE,

[thelifeything]

Oh.
I can understand that. Mine came short as well.
It's no big deal though. We'll find someone.
:)

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

i GUESS,
bUT IT DOESNT MAKE IT EASIER TO HANDLE,

[thelifeything]

It certainly doesn't, no.

[clockspinner]

dont tell me you had one of those strings too
that was so ridiculous
did you hear one kid got punched out by his girlfriend cause his string didnt go to her

_{[assuming there are NPCs at the school]}

[thelifeything]

I certainly didn't have one!
Though I did hear that happened. I can almost understand her reasoning.

[clockspinner]

me neither
yeah but damn she apparently packs a major punch
remind me not to get in a fight with her

[thelifeything]

Dully noted. Though you really shouldn't be getting into fights.
I suppose that's what makes you Dirk's little brother.

[clockspinner]

ouch crocker that one hurt
right in my shriveled little strider heart
its not all asskicking and rap battles

well okay maybe it is

[thelifeything]

I'm sure it didn't hurt that much, Dave.
You are a Strider after all!

[clockspinner]

honestly id be more flattered by that if i didnt know that most of the info for your strider frame of reference comes from dirk
but nope
beds already been shat in crocker
the sword of your words is permanently stuck in my gut

[thelifeything]

Do you really have to be so crass?
Would a cake make up for it?

[clockspinner]

absolutely
as rose would say its something to do with expressing my individuality or something
fuck if i know

nah i think egbert would unmetaphorically pee in my bed if i brought a cake anywhere near our dorm

[thelifeything]

Oh? I had no idea that swearing so much had something to do with one's personality.
Well, I wouldn't want to shock my little brother too badly I suppose.
Just a cupcake then.

[clockspinner]

you know how he is with cakes
i dont exactly get it but he tends to scream child abuse whenever the topic is breached
yeah okay a cupcake sounds good
get me a bottle of apple juice too and consider us totally squared

[thelifeything]

Dad and I did perhaps a little too much baking when he was younger.
There's really no other explanation.
Although I think maybe Roxy has told him one too many stories about our great grandmother being the Batterwitch or something.
Perhaps I could ask the house elves to make some fresh apple juice :B they might consider letting me use the kitchen then.

[clockspinner]

thats it
really
wow hes an even bigger dork than i thought
no offense

youre actually pretty okay
cant say i usually get the luxury of fresh apple juice
getting pretty fancy now should i put on my dress robes

[thelifeything]

Dad can get...pretty enthusiastic about it.
He usually bakes us cakes that add up our age on our birthdays.
I should be expecting sixteen this year I believe.
And no offense taken!

Ooh, Mister Strider, ooh~
House elves are generally okay with an order in trade for being able to use the kitchens.
The poor dears aren't very comfortable with letting people just take their job from them.

[clockspinner]

jesus dick im lucky to get so much as picking the toppings on the pizza on my birthday
at least i was when my birthday didnt fall smack in the middle of the term
then again what exactly do you do with sixteen cakes
cause a normal person sure as shit cant eat that many

i think i suddenly understand egberts cakephobia

[thelifeything]

Oh, I could eat that much cake.
Roxy says I should go on a diet though.
I share them out among my House since I'm at school during my birthday now.
It is possible to have one or two each dorm :B

Oh, we're just a little enthusiastic!
John really doesn't understand the joy of baking.

he can't help but be nice to female prospit dreamers. It's a flaw.

[clockspinner]

you know what
if youre happy then be happy
dont listen to roxy she doesnt even know what shes talking about half the time

yeah cant say i do either
we just keep swords and fireworks in the oven at my house
closest we come to baking is frozen pizza
