Experiment Ten

[status_is_not_quo]

I always forget the frenzy that the mindless activity of athletics tends to spark in the hive-mind of the school. I'll probably never understand the draw of institutionalized violence, but whatever. I could actually care less.

Now if only the Gryffindumbs could leave the rest of the castle out of their celebrations and just let everything go back to normal.

:3 < quidditch is so fun! even if you dont play, rooting for a team is supurr exciting!

:3 < ... but hehe okay i guess we might get a LITTLE annoying

no stop being cute you are a gryffindor he's not supposed to be endeared

[status_is_not_quo]

If you say so. I'm not really much of a team player myself.

she is relentlessly cute, it is her most powerful weapon

[purrfect]

:3 < but then you dont have anyone to root for!
:3 < it seems kind of lonely
:3 < i dont know, i would find it way too boring without teams

[status_is_not_quo]

I don't understand how you wouldn't get sick of all the noise, though. People can get kind of obnoxious.

[purrfect]

:3 < well...
:3 < it helps if you join in!
:3 < it doesnt seem so chaotic if youre cheering too

Gryffindumbs, really? I thought you were supposed to be like a genius or something. How long did it take you to think of that?

[status_is_not_quo]

Pretty much negligible, actually.

You all aren't worth the effort.

[ladyliberty]

Okaaay, as long as you realize using such weak insults makes you look like the dummy here, not us.

[status_is_not_quo]

That's the sound of me not caring. If you can hear it over your self-congratulatory, egotistical, bacchanalian circle jerk. Congrats, you're the best at putting a ball through some hoops and beating up other students.

Your parents must be so proud.

Bye.

[ladyliberty]

Bye!

Somebody's in a good mood.

Is something up?

Don't mind him, he's having one of his moods.

[status_is_not_quo]

Oh, uh. No, not...really. Should something be?

No that sounded wrong oh god

I mean, uh, so how're you?

Pffft.

[dittany]

Oh, I'm glad. And no, of course not! I wouldn't want something to be wrong.

I'm alright, thank you.

[status_is_not_quo]

I just meant if maybe something had happened, or. something. I don't know.

ANYWAY!

Awesome, I'm glad to hear it.

So, do you maybe want to meet in the library sometime? So we can study for our OWLs and...you know, hang out?

[dittany]

Oh, Billy...

Thank you. And... Yes! I'd love that!

[status_is_not_quo]

Great! Maybe after dinner, then?

And, uh. Sorry Hufflepuff lost the match.

[dittany]

That sounds great.

And oh, that's sweet, but it's fine. Gryffindor -- both teams, really -- played quite well. It was fun just to watch.

He goes to all the games just so he can listen to Rapunzel commentate.

[status_is_not_quo]

Yeah, I guess. I don't pretend to know what a good match looks like.

...NOT SAYING YOU DO! Obviously you have to know what you're talking about to be the announcer, so I totally believe you that the teams played well. I just...that came out all wrong. Wow.

They are such adorable derps.

[dittany]

Billy, it's okay. Really. I didn't think you meant anything bad.

It's kind of cute when you get all flustered, though.

[status_is_not_quo]

_{[And now he's blushing and has his journal mooshed against his face to hide it. Please hold.]}

Me, flustered? What gave you that idea?

[dittany]

Well, you just kind of are.

[its_cor_aline]

Quidditch is hardly mindless. It's full of multi-tasking and strategizing.

[rainbowdashed]

It's not violence it's a sport. There's a different.

Ch'ya, figures a snake'd have no sense of fun.

[yerawwizarderi]
