Journal Entry #2

[bonafide_divinity]

I don't offer advice very often, but it just so happens that I'm feeling relatively altruistic today, so listen closely.

If you don't want to be on the Quidditch team for whatever reason -Speaking personally, I can think of a number of perfectly valid justifications for wanting to stay on terra firma- maybe you shouldn't show up for the tryouts



But I think this advice probably comes too late for most of you. My gold's on Hufflepuff this year.

Excellent!

So if nothing else, Slytherin's going to have the best looking team.



But that theory still doesn't explain Kirkland.

[ladyliberty]

Very true. I guess temporary insanity really is the only explanation.

[bonafide_divinity]

I am rarely if ever wrong about this sort of thing.

Maybe someone stole her makeup again.

[ladyliberty]

What would that have to do with picking teams for quidditch?

[bonafide_divinity]

It would explain the temporary insanity.

[ladyliberty]

I guess, but I think that would make her less likely to pick anyone, not more.

[bonafide_divinity]

Well, the way things are looking now, I'm beginning to suspect that we'd have a better chance of winning if she just hadn't picked anyone.

[ladyliberty]

Well good luck to you. May the best team win.

[bonafide_divinity]

Thank-you, Amelia.

Good luck to you too

[cantstarvethisfire]

What is that supposed to mean?

[bonafide_divinity]

Well

[inkblots]

What do you think it means, Everdeen?

[cantstarvethisfire]

That you think we have no skill to be on the team.

[bonafide_divinity]

I didn't necessarily say that.
I'm merely implying that Nicholson might have gone temporarily insane when she made her selections.

[Filtered to Katniss]

You know this is a ruse, right?

[ie. please don't beat him up later. you are scary.]

[cantstarvethisfire]

She knew what she was doing, okay? I got on the team obviously.

[Filtered to Tulio]

Next time you want to pull off a ruse that indirectly involves me, you better let me know.

[bonafide_divinity]

So did two people who obviously don't want to be there.
My point is entirely valid.

[Filtered]

Don't blame me. It was all Kirkland's idea.

[cantstarvethisfire]

I'm going to kick your ass.

[Filtered]

He's not the brightest lumos spell in the class. I'll just shove you around if it's a show.

[bonafide_divinity]

Oh really?

I would like to see you try, Everdeen. It would be most entertaining

[Filtered]

Exactly how much shoving around are you intending to do?

[cantstarvethisfire]

It would be, I think some of the students could use a laugh.

[Filtered]

Not enough to get detention.

[bonafide_divinity]

And a laugh they will have! I can assure you of that much.

[Filtered]

Right.


So how is this going to play out? We run into each other and you're overcome by defensive visceral rage?
