uHHHH, cONGRATS ON THE WIN,
i HEARD THE MATCH WAS REALLY GOOD,

uHHH, jUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, wHY ARE YOU HELPING PEOPLE WITH TRANSFIGURATION HOMEWORK,
nOT THAT YOU CAN'T DO NICE THINGS,
i DIDN'T, uH, mEAN TO IMPLY ANYTHING,

[clockspinner]

yeah sorry bout your team getting their butts kicked

i just wanted to see if anyone got the same answers as me
john wont let me look at his anymore

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

yOU DON'T HAVE TO, uH, aPOLOGIZE FOR BEING SKILLED AND WINNING,
tHOUGH MAYBE YOU SHOULD MENTION THAT TO FEFERI,
eRR, bUT YOU SHOULD LEAVE OUT THE BUTTS, bECAUSE MAYBE YOU DIDN'T MEAN IT, bUT, iT COULD BE TAKEN AS CONDESCENDING,

oHHH, tHAT MAKES SENSE,
i COULD ALWAYS USE A LITTLE HELP, i THINK,

[clockspinner]

you know me im so fucking magnanimous
a tangible aura of generosity radiating from my person like a lighthouse
keeping ships from crashing on the rocky shores of academic failure

_{[shit, you haven't done the homework. Think, Dave, you can outtalk him without showing your hand.]}

the bigger the pool the better though
we ought to recon with other people first
then maybe compare answers before class
or something

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

[Right yeah, he's gonna pretend to spill ink over the first paragraph because he's not in the mood for rapping at the moment and wants to get out of it as peacefully as possible. So yes, an inkstain spreads across it after a moment.]

uHHH, oOPS,

oH, oKAY THEN,
iF YOU'D RATHER HELP OTHER PEOPLE, i UNDERSTAND,
iT WAS NICE OF YOU TO CONSIDER THOUGH,

[clockspinner]

yeah sure
besides youd probably be faster getting help from someone in your own house
youre lucky your housemates probably dont try to cockblock your academic progress

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

uHHH, bUT, yOU SAID THIRD YEARS,,,
nOT THIRD YEAR GRYFFINDORS, i JUST THOUGHT YOU'D GIVE IT A SHOT,
bUT, uH, lIKE i SAID, i DON'T MIND,

uM, tHAT LAST THING DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF SENSE,

[clockspinner]

thats because my fellow third year gryffindors are both assholes
just nevermind

transfig is my least favorite subject anyway

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

oKAY, cONSIDER IT NEVER HAVING BEEN IN MY, uH, mIND,

uHHH, i'M PRETTY, dECENT, aT IT IF YOU PARDON THE TOOTING OF MY, nONE EXISTENT HORN, bUT i FIGURED i WOULD, gIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHOW OFF YOUR NICENESS,

[clockspinner]

yeah well sorry man
harley just offered to tackle it with me

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

[He just can't even respond now. Why does Jade like everyone else? What is wrong with him? What is it he's doing wrong? Tavros closes the journal and just. Leaves.]

[selfmakeout]

yes you well and truly scored the goal!!! it was appropriately cool ♥

dave, have you forgotten something?

[clockspinner]

damn straight it was

forgotten what
i dont forget anything harley thats your job
you got your homework done??

[selfmakeout]

i always get my homework done!!
but if you want to "compare answers" you have got to actually put answers on yours
i can help you with that

[clockspinner]

i have no idea what you could possibly be talking about
i have all of the answers
every last one

...yeah okay where do you want to meet
and which organ do i need to give you this time

[selfmakeout]

why mr. coolkid, the only organ i will ever need is your heart!
but then i cannot really do much with it and you need it to live so you can keep that
that is a really gross metaphor to be quite honest
we can meet in the library after herbology if that is okay!

ow, right in the Jade/Dave feelings I didn't know I had

[clockspinner]

have i told you lately youre my number one girl harley
im swooning all over myself here
youre a real life saver
see you in the library

yep that was about my reaction a while back

[selfmakeout]

oh gosh dave be careful
i am seeing someone!

[clockspinner]

oh right vantas
im always careful
dont worry well keep it nice and courtly
id never assault your delicate honor

ill be your knight and you can be my liege lady
give me a ribbon from your hair
or your finger or something i guess
and ill tie it on my broomstick next time i ride into battle

[heartwrenching]

I admit to entertaining a healthy amount of skepticism on your ability to catch snitches while wearing those glasses of yours. "Healthy", of course, meaning that I only fell into screaming existential fits over it in the dead of night when there's nothing left to do but think, think, think.

But I stand corrected! Just this once.

[clockspinner]

look who comes crawling hat in hand
this is what you get for doubting a strider
i told you man
i fucking told you that shiny little fuck was mine

besides i catch it all the time in practice man dont be hating on the shades
theyre the only thing that keeps my crazy eye lasers in check

[heartwrenching]

PUTTING ASIDE the fact that you still - STILL! - grossly overestimate my tolerance for both hats of any and all sorts and groveling... on my part, mind you, I'm quite the enthusiast when it comes to receiving it, you're correct about your abilities. You are discussing ancient history, Strider. I've known your talents for a long time, as why oh why would I have let you on my precious team otherwise??

[clockspinner]

i still dont even know what it is with you and hats man
but yeah water under the bridge and all that
the team was seriously about due for a good old fashioned dose of strider

[heartwrenching]

It takes hard, grueling work to do so very, very little to my hair to get it the way it is, and hats completely shatter that dedication!! A hat is a supplement, and I am a already a fully-realized being!

Ahhh, if taking this dose of vitamin Strider results in wins, it's all for the best. You play as if your childhood were spent entirely chasing after glimmering objects!

[clockspinner]

uh huh
has anyone told you lately youre completely cuckoo for cocoa puffs specter

man you say that like im some sort of pest to deal with
...yeah sure well call it that

[nosigntospeakof]

GRYFFINDOR DID A COMMENDABLE JOB IN THE MATCH, MISTER STRIDER. YOU WERE AN EXCELLENT SEEKER.

RED TEXT EVERYWHERE oAo;;

[clockspinner]

yeah i try
otherwise specter hurls bludgers at my head until im black and blue
besides my only job is literally to sit there with my thumb up my ass for ninety percent of the game
looking like im making daisy chains or something trying to find this tiny little thing like a little golden needle in a haystack full of high speed broom seeking missiles
while everyone else is trying not to get clobbered by specter and his crazyballs
or you know whoevers in charge of beating the shit out of people on the other team

if i dont catch that little bastard when i see it then i wasted everybodys time

THEY HOLD THE SURPLUS OF RED INK IN THE CASTLE

[nosigntospeakof]

AS LONG AS YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD TIME, THAT'S WHAT COUNTS.

AND IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE WITH YOUR HOMEWORK I CAN LOOK IT OVER FOR YOU. I DOUBT PROFESSOR KRONOPOULOS WOULD MIND TERRIBLY I AM JUST A HISTORY TEACHER AFTER ALL..

Every shop gets sold out

[clockspinner]

you say that but you dont have to deal with specter if we lose

wow uh
shit thanks sir
sorry for falling asleep in your class last week

everytime they restock these two come in a buy them out

[nosigntospeakof]

IT'S QUITE ALRIGHT.
MAYBE HAVE MISTER EGBERT NUDGE YOU WITH HIS WAND IF YOU START TO NOD OFF NEXT TIME THOUGH.

I HAVE A FREE PERIOD AFTER LUNCH IF YOU HAVE TIME.

this would be a bad thing if it didn't make them their best customers

[clockspinner]

yeah okay
ill try not to let it happen again

uh sure i guess
yeah cool free period after lunch
