14 Smuppets

So. I'm not sure exactly how this happened, but somehow Dumbledore decided that I'm suitable for the position of HoH for Gryffindor.

[He's... quite honestly pretty damn shocked by this. He never expected to be entrusted with such a huge responsibility, and... Well. He considers it a huge honor. Gryffindor is important to him, even if it's for stupid reasons. Even if he had to argue in order to get put in Gryffindor, back when he was in school. But even more than the simply fact he values Gryffindor traits, the simple act of being given so much responsibility means a lot to him, because it shows that Dumbledore has seen how much he's changed. He's been trying to do better lately, and it honestly feels like all of his effort has paid off. He's determined to not let him down.]

So yeah, I guess that's... that. I'm not really sure what to say, but I have to say; it's an honor. I'm going to take this position seriously, so anyone who thinks this means Gryffindor is going to be able to slack off has another thing coming to them.

But with that said, you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask, got it? I was given this for a reason, which means you can trust me with stuff. I'm here for you guys. In fact, I might as well go ahead and say you're all part of the Strider family now, now that I'm the Head of House. Who knows, maybe I'll even hand out shades.

[The next bit is filtered away from Murdoc.]

By the way, tomorrow ain't just V-day. It's also Professor Donoghue's birthday, so be sure to wish him a happy birthday. Maybe give him an apple or somethin'. Whatever floats your boat.

You're also all invited to my office for a surprise party tomorrow, around 8 PM. If you guys don't come, I'm gonna be real disappointed.

[Dave has to take a minute to get over this news. Not that it's bad news, quite the opposite, really. He's proud of his big brother/dad for becoming Head of Gryffindor! It just needs a moment to really sink in.]

damn dude
congrats

i mean then id have to be related to karkat

[He's mostly joking, at least.]

lotta shit happening on valentines
i guess i can try getting back around then after the blind date

[plushaeusrumpified]

Thanks, man. It's a pretty big shock, isn't it? Never really expected it to happen, but god if it isn't exciting. And hey, Vantas isn't that bad, is he? I wouldn't know, we haven't talked in a while. All I know is he's loud.

Or you guys could come to the party together. It'd be like the date that never ends. Though if you wanted some alone time afterwards, then hell I wouldn't stop you. I know what it's like to be your age. Urges and shit. I won't blame you.

[strideallknight]

obviously we need to celebrate this
bit of friction between me and vantas
i think he needs to take a goddamn chill pill and he thinks im a lazy ass
both of these statements are true

bro it takes a special kind of person for me to want to get into his or her pants after the first date
a very special kind
im not expecting us to shack up on the first night

[plushaeusrumpified]

Nah, I don't need a celebration. Honestly all this thanks I'm getting from people is celebration enough. I might pop a firewhiskey later tonight though, raise a glass to myself. Other than that, I think I'm good.
Vantas is in a constant state of needing to take a chill pill, but I'd argue the fact that you're lazy. You work hard when it counts, man.

How do you know this guy isn't special? I know him decently enough, he strikes me as the special kind of guy. For all you know, you're gonna hit it off really well. At least keep an open mind.

[strideallknight]

treat yourself or something at least
this is definitely a good reason for that
ok true but it doesnt negate the fact that most of the time im lazy

[Filtered]

if he makes my dick move in mysterious ways then kudos to him for getting my v card on night 1
if not then im not gonna be all that disappointed

[plushaeusrumpified]

I really don't need to treat myself to anything more than a fire whiskey, man. I'd rather use that money for something else.

[Like buying you a new dead thing in a jar, or something for Dirk.]

If you really want to keep insisting that you're lazy, be my guest. But I just don't see it. Your grades aren't that bad, and you kick ass on that new broom of yours.

Is that really how you feel? Like it's not important enough for you to seek out? Come on Dave, it's not just something that feels good.
It's a direct passage into manhood. You'll probably start growing chest hair and everything.
