2nd Cup of Coffee

[thisperfectsaucer]

Due to a recent influx of entirely inappropriate entries into the network of journals we all share, I'm proposing a last-minute summer project!

We need to invent a spell that will direct away and/or effectively blank out entries containing subjects we don't want to see. That way those of you that wish to be inappropriate can do so with wild abandon and those of us that don't want to see it don't have to. Everyone is happier all around!

The only issue is that none of us can use magic outside of school, so this may have to wait until school is back in session. Unless of course a Professor wants to help, or to sanction it?

Inappropriate entries, Mr Von Mekkhan?

Van: Cover for Gamzee. Inexplicably.

[thisperfectsaucer]

You must have seen Maxim's half-naked picture a few weeks ago. This is a delayed reaction, certainly, but the idea came a little late.

Gamzee is saved. For now.

[Suspicious...considering that Van said entries, not entry. Still the suggestion is a good one, so he'll let it slide.]

Definitely not something I want to wake up to, no. I fully agree with your idea, Mr Von Mekkhan. You may wish to contact your Charms Professor for more guidance. As for magic outside school, I'm afraid that's a decision for the Headmaster and the Ministry to make. I would advise you against getting your hopes up, but you should still try and contact Professor Dumbledore.

AND THEN CONDY HAPPENED

[thisperfectsaucer]

I'll be sure to do so, Professor! Even if we have to wait until the school year starts, it may be good to start getting a group together now. Thank you for your advice.

[Filtered] EVERYONE TAKE COVER

[thegluethatbinds]

[And after that explosion from Professor Peixes, Coulson filters this over to Van.]

You now have my full support for a topic filter, along with, I suspect, quite a number of Professors.

[Filtered]

[thisperfectsaucer]

Yes, well. You can't see it, but I'm wincing, I assure you.

I'll see what I can do.

[Filtered]

[thegluethatbinds]

Ten points to Hufflepuff for common sense and taking the initiative to prevent a repeat of this giant mess without any prompting from the teachers.

All the best with your project, Mr Von Mekkhan.

[allisnotlost]

colour me interested

[thisperfectsaucer]

Ah, good!

It would be excellent to have you on board, Eridan. Even just for theory work we'll need all the help we can get.

[allisnotlost]

[Shortly after THAT POST,,,,]

especially after wwhat just wwent dowwn i think that wwe desperately need somethin like that
if i dont respond after this my father caught wword of her entry

[thisperfectsaucer]

Ah.

I'm sorry. I'll be around for a while longer if you need someone to talk to?

[Because your dad is SCARY, bro...]

[allisnotlost]

[OH HE KNOWS.]

if i survvivve ill take the offer up
no promises though

[thelifeything]

I highly agree, and fully offer my support on the research of such a spell.
I had not expected something of...that nature to be brought to attention, even given half the age of the student population.

[thisperfectsaucer]

Yes, well. Unfortunately there isn't enough common sense to supply the whole school, I guess.

I'm sorry that you had to deal with it.

[thelifeything]

So it seems.
Perhaps something could be done so that first years such as myself are automatically filtered against subjects of that nature?
I'm sure it was meant for the older students to intercept.
I highly doubt someone my age does that sort of thing.

[thisperfectsaucer]

I'm sure there must be a way. Perhaps all journal filters in future could be mandatory for younger students, instead of them being able to choose? I have a distinct feeling certain Professors would be in favor of that.

[thelifeything]

That sounds perfectly reasonable and sensible to me!
Some young students might be inclined to mischief after all.

[thisperfectsaucer]

I think you mean 'will'. This is Hogwarts, after all.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

It might be a good idea. Sometimes I just feel like I'm learning too much about people.

[thisperfectsaucer]

You and me both, Rapunzel. I imagine your mother especially wouldn't be pleased if she happened to see an entry like that.

Has your summer been nice, otherwise?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

She really wouldn't be, at all... Luckily, she didn't see it like Feferi's mum did.

It's been alright! A bit boring... How about yours?

[thisperfectsaucer]

Fairly good. I was unfortunate enough to be at camp during that whole debacle, but otherwise there's been no real upheaval. I'm a little surprised, honestly, given the usual habits of my neighbors.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh? What are your neighbors like?

[pomodoroo]

Well I've already turned 17 and I'm a seventh year, I might be able to help you brats with experimenting outside of school.

[thisperfectsaucer]

Calling us brats is hardly going to make us want to accept your help, you know. Thank you for the offer, despite the wording.

[di_intraining]

Oi Van, Maxim told me you were thinking of doing some sort of filter? Do you need any help with it?

[thisperfectsaucer]

Certainly! Any and all help is appreciated.
