(no subject)

[status_is_not_quo]

Now that everyone is done celebrating boorish feats of strength, I was wondering if I could get 5-10 volunteers to help me test a new spell that I've been working on. It's a very simple security spell, and I can guarantee with 82% certainty that you won't get hurt if you agree to be a subject. It's not intended to be harmful, we'll put it that way. (You might, however, experience residual tingling in the extremities, and possibly loosened bowels. I'm still working out the kinks.

For liability reasons, I'll only take volunteers third year and up (I would say fifth and up, but, well, I wouldn't want to exclude anyone my age). My name is Billy Harris, Slytherin 5th year, and if you leave your name, house, and year I will contact you within the next few days to sort out the experiment.

If I told you what the experiment was for, that would ruin the idea of a blind experiment. It's to test a spell I'm working on.

Nice shirt Mr 90's shirt

Yeah, because I'm really stupid enough to lose my eyebrows at your hands.

Just tell me what it is. Someone has to be able to tell the hospital wing how many to expect and how much work they're going to have to do to make them look how they're meant to look again.

80s, actually.

You're not part of the experiment, and you're definitely not helping me develop it. What makes you think you have the right to tell me how to conduct my own experiment? You're interfering with the scientific process.

That's worse.

[arrogantalloy]

Yeah, I guess it makes sense you wouldn't want my help. I mean why would you want your little project to go right or anything.

But really that's fine because I wasn't planing on helping. I'm just curious and vaguely amused.

don't judge my Doogie Howser icons

Trust me, I know how to follow the scientific method. I sailed through my A-levels before I even got my Hogwarts letter.

If you feel like eating your words, you can come watch the experiment.

I grew up with it, I'll judge it all I want.

[arrogantalloy]

And yet, still things go wrong.

So then, I'm going to go hungry. Well that's 'smashing' I'll make sure to bring some strawberries, and Bruce. He could use a laugh too.

Are you always this antagonistic, or am I just a special snowflake?

I've only lost my eyebrows once this year! Once!

[arrogantalloy]

Um. Yeah, pretty much like this to everyone.

Yeah and I haven't lost them ever.
