Whoever left their 8ag of candy on my 8ed 8est remove it 8efore I shove it down their throat.
If you think it was a cute idea you should hope I don't find you.

[Someone found some candy eyeballs on her bed. Tavros, your efforts were in vain.]

[Filtered away from Snow.]

You aren't going to solve anything like this.
It was my fault anyw8ys
Stop 8efore something worse happens, hm?

I don't know, I think it's a sweet gesture.

[Says she who's been eating candied eyeballs around Vriska since the term began.]

[dou8letrou8le]

It was t8steless.
I prefer chocolate frogs anyw8ys.

[nomorals]

Maybe you should tell your secret Romeo that so he doesn't get it wrong next time.

I'll have them if you don't want them.

[dou8letrou8le]

If he is secret how can I tell him anything?

Go right ahead.

[nomorals]

We have the journals for a reason.

Sweet. They're kinda like an addiction now. I guess all that teasing you backfired on me.

[dou8letrou8le]

I prefer talking f8ce to f8ce. Journals seem so impersonal.

Oh were you? I hadn't noticed at all.

[nomorals]

That implies you know who your Romeo is, Vris. Is he scared of you or something?

Well yeah. Only like every other day.

[dou8letrou8le]

Many people are scared of me and they have every right to 8e scared.
I am very intimid8ting.

And here I thought you were just 8eing charming.

[nomorals]

Maybe you need to loosen up a little. Show him you're not as intimidating as he thinks you are.

I'm always charming, honey.

[dou8letrou8le]

8ut what if he likes me 8ecause of my intimid8ting nature?

Only every other d8y, right?

[thegluethatbinds]

I'm glad you didn't respond rudely. 5 points to Slytherin for reacting maturely.

Are you alright?

[Filtered]

[dou8letrou8le]

He could expel me and then I will never learn how to defend myself.

Of course. Why wouldn't I be?

[Filtered]

[thegluethatbinds]

You're right. He certainly could.

What he said was uncalled for.

[Filtered]

[dou8letrou8le]

A lot of adults s8y uncalled things like that.
I get over it.

[Filtered]

[thegluethatbinds]

[It doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt less, but he's going to refrain from saying that.]

Unfortunately, you're right about this too.

At any rate when you're free, come up to my office. I have something that might interest you, Miss Serket.

[Filtered]

[dou8letrou8le]

Sometimes 8eing right sucks.

If it's candy, no thank you. [But she'll come up later, after she's calmed down some from all of this.]

[thegluethatbinds]

I think you've had enough of candy.

[And when Vriska comes up and knocks, Coulson will let her in. He looks slightly tired from dealing with the fall-out from Snow's post, but he gives her a smile.]

Thanks for coming Miss Serket. Have a seat.

[He'll gesture at a chair while he takes the opposite one.]

[dou8letrou8le]

[She looks just as tired as well as stressed from what was going on. Doubting her own sanity while fearing for Sybille and Aranea takes a toll on a young girl's mind, you know.

But she takes a seat with a silent nod, hands twisting in her lap. She starts to say something, but she isn't sure how to word it and so she closes her mouth, opting for silence in favor of making a fool out of herself.]

[thegluethatbinds]

You can relax and say what's on your mind if you want. I put up a Charm around my office, so whatever you say here is just between you and me.

[dou8letrou8le]

[She shakes her head.] Is not so much... that. Only that I am not sure what is to say?

Maybe there is too much to say and I cannot say anything at all.

[thegluethatbinds]

Well, a lot has happened for the first few weeks of school.

At any rate, I didn't just call you up to my office to talk, although I'm perfectly fine with that as well. I wanted to give you this.

[He hands her some scrolls.]

These are some of the more advanced Protection Charms for your level, Miss Serket. I think you've earned them. I've put in my own notes on how to cast them, but if you do have any problems come see me or Professor Donoghue.

Voice

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

[When Tavros's voice comes on, he sounds a bit... off.]

Oh...Oh no...I- I thought...

I mean. Uh. That sounds, really mean, and whoever did that should be, um, really... really ashamed of themselves.

Voice

[dou8letrou8le]

... Hm? [Ahhh the voice option.]

It is alright. I am not upset, only annoyed.

Are you well?

Voice

[i_bullieve_i_can_fly]

[There's a long moment before he finds it in him to reply.]

I just... have the, uh, biggest stomach ache right now...ever.
