Assistance Requested

[3potionproblem]

In the interest of an unbiased study into muggle behaviors and cultural discrepancies, I require a ^muggleborn female student to associate with me or at the very least permit me to engage in observational behavior including but not limited to tailing, watching from the shadows, and keeping close records on all activities, correspondence, and so on. Do not waste my time if you are already well aware that you are annoying and generally distasteful.

Please respond to this message with your interest. I will select the best candidate once all volunteers have come forward.

Granted, I don't have much experience in this particular field. However, I think it's generally understood that if you're going to stalk someone, you don't ask permission first.

And I guess this all begs the question: why are you looking for someone to stalk?

[3potionproblem]

It's not stalking. The fact that I am very open about my request should make that rather obvious. It's simply a matter of observation. I am to understand the female gender would take my observational approach to be indicative of threatening behavior and so to not unnecessarily put someone on edge or become labeled as some sort of pervert, I need a willing participant.

Is that so difficult to comprehend?

[bonafide_divinity]

Well, from what I understand, you're going to be keeping an eye on where they're going, what they're doing, you'll be reading any and all correspondence. It sounds like stalking to me.

What kind of a study is this anyway?

[3potionproblem]

It's a study on real muggle behavior. Detailed analysis on how they interact in the wizarding world to better comprehend the nuances of their experience within the muggle one on observation outside of school.

Wouldn't you need a Muggle for it to work?

[Looks over his request and quickly adds in the missing information.]

Thank you.

[bonafide_divinity]

You're welcome. [pause] I think.

[3potionproblem]

My studies could prove immensely helpful to the community. They will to me at any rate. It’s very easy to tell a muggleborn wizard or witch from the pack when they are surrounded by wizard culture. I can only assume a wizard would have just as much a chance of blending in with muggles when immersed in theirs. I want a seamless integration.

I'll volunteer if I can read all your information.

[3potionproblem]

Why do you want it?

[actuallyspeakslatin]

Why do you care?

[3potionproblem]

Because it's my data.

[actuallyspeakslatin]

If you're going to collect data about girls, you need to realize that some make it their business to know what's going on. Besides it would be interesting to see what an outside party thinks.

[3potionproblem]

...That's a fair enough request I suppose.

As long as you're not out to make Muggles look bad or paint them in a bad light you can follow me around if you like. I'm Muggleborn and originally from the United States.

Um,I hope you won't mind spending a lot of time on the Quidditch pitch though...we've been training like crazy.

[3potionproblem]

What is it about sports and muggles? Not to say wizards are less inclined to be sports fans but muggles seem to have so many different sports to involve themselves in.

[its_cor_aline]

Good question. I guess they just want to be good at something maybe? There are tons to pick from so I think everyone's bound to be good at one or another!
I just like to be outside and active personally. Staying inside all the time back home is stuffy and boring.

[3potionproblem]

Why do they all want to be good at something physical? You can get outside and do something intellectual.

[speterman]

What is with you and stalking people?

[3potionproblem]

I do not stalk people.

[speterman]

Really? Because that's what this really sounds like.

[3potionproblem]

It's a systematic means of observation. You move, I follow and jot down what you do. That isn't stalking it's science.

[speterman]

The Paparazzi call it photography, not stalking, but come on now, we all know what they're doing.

[3potionproblem]

Looking for a 'nipple slip' is not the same as detailing the habits of man.

[speterman]

Oh, right, forgive me, your argument is so valid I don't know what I was thinking. Silly me.
