☠ 003

[ficklefuckwit]

[There are a lot of inkblots, like Jake is tapping his pen against the paper rapid-fire. Then there's an entire green smear across the page, like he knocked his entire thing of ink over onto it. Finally, there are words.]

Confound it i just cant stop shaking.
Dirk roxy i need to speak with you both posthaste im in a bit of a tizz here.

[He makes an attempt at a filter, but fails splendiforously at it.]

What would be a good halloween costume to pair with a flapper?

_[Filter]

What happened?

_{[/end filter]}

Go for a 1920s gangster.

[ficklefuckwit]

[He still can't quite figure out how filters even work. So chances are, this conversation will be perfectly viewable to the world at large, just not what Dirk's saying. Which probably makes it even funnier.]

Golly bollocks but this is embarrassing.
Theres a girl ive found myself with a bit of a fancy for dirk and its terrible.
Shes so entirely out of my league!!

A gangster? Im not certain i could pull off the look but i will do my darnedest.

[givesyouaboner]

_{[Jake, how do you not know this? Even funnier if Dirk is in the same room or in the vicinity. Or just the fact they're roommates and Dirk hasn't shown him how to properly filter. Oops.]}

Oh yeah? Who is she?
If she's smart you should definitely go for her.
It doesn't hurt to have more friends.

_{[Unfortunately, he's not interpreting this the right way.]}

Just wear a suit and slick your hair back.

[ficklefuckwit]

[Jake's probably sitting on his bed while he scribbles furiously in his journal.]

Oh bugger you me is she smart.
Shes out of this world smart. And lovely to boot.
I dont know if you know her since shes in slytherin but hoo golly.
Im so very out of my element with all this heart-hammering!

I suppose it is just a costume.
But balderdash where am i to get a suit?
And dont gangsters usually wear snazzy hats?

oh yeah all of dirk's stuff is still filtered

[givesyouaboner]

_{[And Dirk is at his. He's probably snickering occasionally and glancing over at Jake every so often. Maturity.]}

I know some Slytherins so maybe I do.
Spill the beans, bro.
Who is she? How'd you meet her?
Are you going into premature cardiac arrest?

I have a suit if you really wanted to use it.
I think if style your hair the right way, the hat could be optional.

omg this icon is so fucking perfect

[ficklefuckwit]

[Jake belatedly realizes that Dirk is sitting across the fucking room from him so he literally flips his journal, pen, and ink (thankfully after capping it shut) and scrambles across the room up onto his bed. Uninvited, but he's having a crisis here, okay.]

Her name is Rose and she's a fourth year! A fourth year, Dirk!! She's almost fifteen!! I can't date an older lady that's just demeaning for her! Ohhhh this is so terrible what am I going to doooo.

[Sorry, Dirk, your weird ScottishAustralian bro is rolling around like a retarded caterpillar behind you on your bed.]

I imagine I could get my hands on one, but if you'd be willing to loan me yours for the evening of the thirty-first that would be delightful. I'm so bloody nervous I can't do anything right!!

[seeringlight]

A snazzy suit usually accompanies a flapper well. Usually when one thinks of those times they think of the romanticized American gangsters of the period. A zoot suit or just a very well tailored suit of some sort.
Ah, but I get the feeling that your filter didn't quite work. I believe I wasn't meant to see this.

[ficklefuckwit]

[SCREECHING.]

[Like, literally, he just shrieked at his journal and flipped it. There are more inkblots before he replies.]

Dadblast my rotten luck!
This is certainly embarrassing.
No you most assuredly werent miss lalonde maam and i apologize if it seems forward of me to do something like match your costume!
It just seemed you were a bit out of sorts with your decision and i figured if for some reason there were a soul crazy enough to criticise the decision at hand having someone in a costume of the era would make it easier?
Golly that sounds dumb now.

[seeringlight]

I can teach you how to filter properly so this won't happen again. Whenever you want, just a time that doesn't conflict with my schedule and a location. You'll never have to worry about me peeking in on a conversation so rather embarrassing ever again.
I don't mind. I much like the idea of matching costumes. I can rest assured that I will have a fellow who wish to peruse the party in such a style.
Dare I say it? I think it would be quite cute. ;)

[ficklefuckwit]

[The sound he just made is not at all human. In any way. He probably shuffled himself right under his covers, too, hiding there for a while before he peers back out and rereads Rose's lovely lavender text.]

[And shrieks again.]

[It's something like a full ten minutes later that he finally stops flipping a table and replies.]

Well golly that just seems underhanded to have you teach me how to hide things from you.
Though i guess a lady does like a surprise once in a while.
And great galloping jehosaphat miss lalonde i cant handle all this flattery i must insist you quit.
I cant hold a candle to you in any way but im honored that youd even be willing to peruse a party with this bully.

[seeringlight]

[Rose will just knit and watch her journal in the meantime. She chuckles a bit as it seems to take quite a bit before Jake replies. She can only fathom what he might be doing.

Rolling in his bed perhaps. That's a funny thought.]

I'm sure you would use the function for more than just hiding from me.
Last I checked, you quite fancied having conversations with me or am I assuming wrong?
I will hold my tongue for this once because you requested so nicely. Heh. ;)
You are putting me on quite a pedestal. I am flattered, but you really don't need too. I was once a first year barely getting my footing in this school once before.

[ficklefuckwit]

Oh nonono! Certainly not! Youre quite correct i do quite fancy chatting with you.
Well you have offered to help me with my studies and even to teach me how to properly filter my own journal entries i believe that warrants a bit of pedestal placement.
Though i may just be old fashioned.

Filtered

[bev_rage]

sup chikin butt

fail-filtered in return

[ficklefuckwit]

Roxy help ive been swayed by the wiles of a lovely lady.

OMG

[ficklefuckwit]

[More inkblots. Gosh he just can't keep his head on straight. He rolls around on his bed for a while again and then finally scrawls in his journal, promptly scribbling over everything once he figures Roxy's had enough time to read what he's written.]

Her name is rose lalonde and shes a fourth year slytherin and shes completely out of my league!!!

[ficklefuckwit]

[A moment later.]

Come to think of it...
Your last name is lalonde too isnt it.

[ficklefuckwit]

OH GOD IVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH YOUR SISTER OR YOUR SOMETHING.

[bev_rage]

ur crushin on my CUOSEN COUSIN????

[ficklefuckwit]

[Oh God please just kill him now. Please. He can't. He's done. No more for Jake English. Died of sheer embarrassment from crushing all the fuck over his two best friends' cousins.]

[It doesn't help that he assumes Roxy's angry from her text.]

Oh bother.
Goodness i didnt even think i should have realized sooner roxy im sorry.
I promise i wont even think of her in such a way again this is so terribly and awfully rude of me i hope i havent offended you too terribly.
Good gravy. Way to be a bumbling dunce hat in plaid knickers english.

[brokethecycle]

Gangster sounds like a good match.

[Weak Filter.]

Um. Its probably none of my business but are you okay?

[ficklefuckwit]

Then i believe that is a consensus and i shall be a dapper gangster for this hallows eve. Thank you kindly!

Well its certainly not like ive done a wonderful job of censoring myself so it would be a bit rude of me to deny your curiosity.
Im all right just a bit overtaken with the wiles of a lovely maiden.
I didnt think this sort of thing was meant to happen until at least third year good gravy.

[brokethecycle]

Sure.

Oh. Uh, well, good luck, I guess. That sounds messy.

just gonna assume they exchanged names at some point in that previous thread...

[ficklefuckwit]

A bit.
Luck is greatly appreciated though thank you again.
It was... norman wasnt it?

that and they probably have a few classes together

[brokethecycle]

Yeah. You're Jake, right?
