After thoroughly investigating the house cup situation, I believe the probability of winning this year is highly in our favour! We have to put our noses to the grindstone until we can smell sweet victory beneath the salty tang of everyone else's tears. If we don't, I may have to call on the powers vested in the end of my cane when walking around the common room! You could say it'll be a "shindig" for sure. >:]

Outlandish parties aside, I have to say writing on a small roll of parchment for studying is kind of restricting! Arithmancy sure is demanding in its space. It has bigger and better plans and I think it's getting its way.

[ Sorry, Ravenclaw girls. There's now red chalk all over one wall of the dorm. Some of it looks like dates, diagrams, and calculations, although it might just be overenthusiastic scribbling. It's a little difficult to tell. ]

I've found, when it comes to Arithmancy. Ignoring the teachers and using more scroll is generally the best policy.

Yeah, I kind of called it with the house points pretty early this year. But then, when you have me losing really isn't an option now is it?

[drubbings]

Yes, these numbers seem to get out of control when they start!

We sure are lucky to have you, Mr. Strawberry-Stark. Except when you say things like that.

[arrogantalloy]

Strawberry? That's, almost cute.

Please, I'm just stating facts here.

[drubbings]

Perhaps "Strawberry-Snark" is more appropriate.

I was under the impression that you don't care about things like house pride and teamwork!

[arrogantalloy]

You know, I think I could get used to that one.

I care about winning. That and really, any house I'm in is the one everyone should be cheering for.

[drubbings]

I would have to disagree if you were a Hufflepuff!

[arrogantalloy]

Oh, I don't think my being humble loyalist wouldn't stop people cheering for me.

[candycrabapple]

JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SLIGHT LEAD DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN GO BRAGGING ABOUT IT AND COUNTING YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH. BECAUSE THAT'S ALWAYS THE BEST WAY TO END UP WITH DEAD CHICKENS. THE YEAR ISN'T OVER YET, AND AS MASTERFUL AS YOU ARE AT GETTING AHEAD OF YOURSELF TODAY, IT'S NOT EVEN REMOTELY A FOREGONE CONCLUSION.
IT ALSO MAKES YOU LOOK SMUG AND THAT'S NEVER A TRAIT PEOPLE LIST AS LIKEABLE, JUST SO YOU KNOW.

[drubbings]

Slight? I think you're delusional Karkat, you are in the dust! Although, we might have to watch our backs; Gryffindor is known for spectacular feats of douchbaggery when it comes to this sort of thing. >:]

It's just some friendly words of encouragement to my hardworking housemates! But I'm glad to hear you care what people think of me.

[candycrabapple]

OKAY, I'M GOING TO SIT HERE AND PRETEND YOU DIDN'T JUST IMPLY THAT I'M A DOUCHEBAG BECAUSE OF MY HOUSE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AT ERIDAN, KING OF THE DOUCHBAG MOUNTAIN ISN'T EVEN IN GRYFFINDOR.

WAIT, I NEVER SAID I CARED ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF YOU, THAT WAS NEVER A THING THAT WAS GOING ON. TELLING YOU TO NOT BE A SMUG SHIT ABOUT THINGS ISN'T BEING CARING.

[drubbings]

All right, Karkat. I take it back. Only because the defense raises a very valid point! Said douchebag is very good at being even more annoying than

Please! That yucky grey ink reeks of lies.

[...]

But I guess it might look a little arrogant. I didn't mean it that way. It is not a crime to show house pride, Mr. Crabapple!

[brothor]

Ravenclaw may have wits, but we Gryffindor have spirit! As team captain I feel obligated to tell you that you are all in for the battle of your lives!

[drubbings]

That's very sportsmanly of your, Thor! Quidditch isn't really my thing but I do like a good game. Maybe this time I'll come sniff out this funny clobbering.

[brothor]

Even spectators are part of the game as far as I am concerned! You are artisticially inclined, are you not? Perhaps you could show your spirit through way of brightly coloured signs.

[drubbings]

[ If Thor could only hear the "he he he"s she's making right now. ]

That's a brilliant idea. Hogwarts can always use some coool art. A cherry red sign with delicious blueberry and meandering mango lines would be the best.

[brothor]

Cherry red and blueberry? That sounds both delicious and as though it is a combination of Gryffindor and Ravenclaws respective colours! I should enjoy gazing upon it from the stands, though I hope you do not mean to distract me with it!

[drubbings]

Yes, I agree, it is a very good combination!
I wouldn't want to distract you, Thor. It would be awful of me to sabotage the game.
(And between you and me, Ravenclaw's standing is kind of embarrassing! I don't know much about quidditch but I'm certain we'd need a lot more help than a delectable sign to catch up.)

[brothor]

It reminds me of fruit salad, which is most delicious!

Of course! You are a most honorable woman, sabotage is rather below someone of your calibre!
Not to worry! I'm sure you've all got a chance for second place! Not to mention the house cup may very well be yours once exams are through.

[drubbings]

Much like the one they serve at breakfast that has the little delicious blasts of cherries hidden away between the juicy melon and pineapple.

Thank you.

I hope so! When I checked early it seemed we had a very good head start. Although, now I'm a little worried about the quidditch situation. Exactly how many points will the winner receive, and how will it effect the odds? Suddenly this outcome is a little more clouded.

[brothor]

Precisely! Though I must say I generally favour pancakes and bacon, salad is far too light to satisfy my hunger!

I suppose that depends on many factors. You know once a team caught the snitch, but they were still unable to produce enough points to win the match! It was terribly exciting.

[drubbings]

That's too much brown for me. Eggs are always delicious, especially with a splash of ketchup.

That's a gamble, for sure! It must be frustrating when the other team wins that way.

[brothor]

Eggs and ketchup! You could call those Gryffindor colours! Perhaps your loyalties lie elsewhere.

If you were on the team that won, it would be a terribly exciting achievement.

[truestsciences]

restrictions exist for a reason
any moron can do the wwork but doin it wwithin limitations is wwhere genius is obvvious
a ravvenclaww should knoww that

[drubbings]

A simple scenario does not always end in a simple solution, Mr. Ampora. When truth is on the line, a girl just can't help getting her ambition on with partying prophetic numbers!

[truestsciences]

i nevver said the solution was simple
just that its possible to do wwithin restrictions
just do the damn homewwork properly

[drubbings]

Blegh! Whatever, Eridan. I'm flattered you care about the quality of my homework but if it works don't spello-tape it.

[truestsciences]

you should be flattered
not many are wworth my advvice
an it doesnt wwork thats wwhy you made this entry

[drubbings]

I'll try to restrain my shrieking and joyous crying!

[ She's just going to frown at that "worth" comment... ]

The Interrogation swiftly counters such outrageous accusations with a proposal! A duel of Arithmancy! Two hours in the library. We compare our work and conclusion. It will be the most interesting of experiments.

[truestsciences]

good

[which is probably for the best.]

are you
are you seriously doin your roleplayin shit on the journals
but sure
bring it on

[drubbings]

Justice can't be stopped because of a bad time and place, Mr. Ampora!
Bring a good floating charm.
Because you are going down. >:]


(ooc do you want to log/comment spam this or handwave? :D)

[truestsciences]

i dont see howw homewwork is just
are you sure you shouldnt be the one preparin to be completely annihilated

((ooc: a log is good with me! c:))

[papatiger]

I like your enthusiasm Ms Pyrope! As a teacher I must stay neutral but it looks like we've got an exciting game on our hands.

[drubbings]

By the sounds of it I would say so, Professor! People sure do get fired up about this sort of thing. I think I may sit on a match this time with a banner and soak up the excitment.

[papatiger]

I'm with you there. Being part of the crowd isn't the same as actually playing the game, but it carries its own sense of fun. It's been awhile since I've played an actual game but I'm a keen sportsman, both on the field and as a spectator. I'm sure we'll all be in for a treat.

[drubbings]

I have to admit I always wondered what competitive flying would be like.
May I ask what position you played, sir?</font

[papatiger]

I was Keeper. Not the most action packed job on the field, but I'm proud to say that I never let any goals in. Well, nearly. Still the odd misses here and there, but overall I was pretty good, if I can say so myself!

goddamn it html

[drubbings]

That sounds like the most stressful position! Although the golden beer ball seems like a big challenge too.
