Seventy-one

[couragecore]

Pretty good match, everyone.

I wasn't watching it or anything, but I could sure hear the commentary all the way in the library.

It looks like I'm going to have to cast a censoring spell on our announcer until he learns to control himself.

[couragecore]

You don't know me very well if you think I wouldn't.

[selfhatred]

NO, I KNOW YOU WOULD.
BUT SERIOUSLY?
WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST CAST A SILENCING CHARM ON THE FUCKING LIBRARY OR SOMETHING?

[couragecore]

It's not the noise I'm talking about, moron, it's your language.

[selfhatred]

GOD DON'T YOU GO GETTING PISSED AT ME TOO.
ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE AS IS.
THERE'S ALSO A LITTLE THING CALLED FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT IT.

[couragecore]

Ugh, no, it's not the same at all, stop citing freedom of speech! Public vulgarity is not the same as expressing an opinion freely.

Besides, this isn't America.

And I'm not cross with you at all, but if people are getting cross with you that's probably a sign to check yourself.

[Aaaand censoring spell is starting now as she taps her wand against the page. It should transfer into his quill first and block out any written swears with black bars, from there it will seep into his hand and right into his body, blocking any curse words with a loud beeping sound.]

[selfhatred]

NEWS FLASH, I'M FROM █████ AMERICA.
I'VE GOT EVERY █████ RIGHT TO--
WAIT
WHAT THE █████

[couragecore]

Problem, Karkat?

[selfhatred]

█████ YOU, YOU █████ █████.
THERE'S NO █████ WAY THIS █████ IS █████ LEGAL!

[couragecore]

You're 13 and you're in school, not a bloody prison, don't you be talking to me about legality.

Look, it's temporary, if you want I can tweak it so it's only in effect when you're announcing Quidditch matches.

[selfhatred]

LIKE I GOT THROUGH TELLING MY UNCLE YESTERDAY, I'M A █████ ADULT. I'M NOT THIRTEEN, NEVER HAVE BEEN.

IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

[couragecore]

Are you doubting me? Because it seems like you're doubting me.

[selfhatred]

I NEVER SAID I WAS DOUBTING YOU. JESUS.

[couragecore]

I think I'll leave it for a while, give you some time to think about what you've done.

[selfhatred]

I THOUGHT YOU SAID THIS PLACE WASN'T A █████ JAIL.

[couragecore]

I did. And it's not.

It's an institution which prepares you to be an adult in the adult Wizarding World.
