I have a request.

The next time someone decides to leap at me wielding a pillow? Some warning would be nice.

Telling Madame Pomfrey I got a black eye in a pillow fight is kind of awkward. I don't really see how it's helping to "toughen me up".

I'D SETTLE FOR A DORM TRANSFER.
IF I HAVE TO SPEND ONE MORE NIGHT SLEEPING NEXT TO ODINSON I DON'T THINK MADAM POMFREY IS GOING TO HAVE ANY BONE REGROWTH POTION LEFT BY THE END OF TERM.

[spangledplan]

I could switch beds with you, you know.

And I don't think it's possible to run out of potions...

[selfhatred]

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN DO THAT.
WE'VE KIND OF BEEN IN THE SAME CIRCLE SINCE FIRST YEAR.
IT'S POSSIBLE TO RUN OUT OF INGREDIENTS FOR THE POTION.

[spangledplan]

I don't think we'll get cursed if we switch beds for a few nights.

But then you can get more or grow more, can't you? It's not like they'll be gone forever.

[cantstarvethisfire]

A pillow can hit someone that hard?

[spangledplan]

Well it wasn't just the pillow hitting me. Thor can get a bit overeager with things.

[By overeager he means scarily violent.]

[cantstarvethisfire]

You should work on evading things, try tucking in to a ball and rolling under the bed.

[brothor]

It could be worse! It could be a rock fight!

[spangledplan]

[Awkard pause.]

Would you really wake me up by hitting me with rocks?

[brothor]

[Inkblots.]

What's for dinner?

[thesmallesttrickster]

...it was Thor wasn't it?

[spangledplan]

Hit the nail on the head.

[thesmallesttrickster]

I apologize on behalf of my brother.
I am Loki, by the way.

Sup?

[spangledplan]

Dave? Are you okay?

[prototypical_dave]

I'm not Dave, he's just letting me use his journal because I'm bored. It's so boring being a whoman, I don't know how you guys stand it.

I'm Sprite.

[aboutwhynot]

How do you even get a black eye from a pillow fight? That takes talent.

[spangledplan]

I'm not sure, really. I just know Thor was coming at me and then next thing I had a black eye.

[aboutwhynot]

Clearly his parents named him very aptly.

Maybe the best way for you to get "toughened up" is to actually learn how to defend yourself from your mortal enemy, the pillows. That might work a tiny bit better than just being hit with them.

[givesyouaboner]

Ahaha what?
How do you bruise from a pillow?

[spangledplan]

Have you met Thor?

[givesyouaboner]

No but I think he might be one of Dave's friends? Maybe?

[doctorkishitani]

How did you get a black eye from a pillow?
Do you have a coagulation disorder?

[spangledplan]

It's Thor's fault.

And not to my knowledge, though.

[Not like he doesn't have oodles of disorders and conditions.]

[doctorkishitani]

Are you sure? If you're bruising that easily, it could be a sign of a number of coagulation disorders or possibly premature aging.

Would you be able to provide a blood sample? We could analyse it after dinner!
