too lazy to move my stuff again

It was more of a time flies kinda thing but now I hope other people tell me why they haven't moved out.

You are basically the laziest though, I love it

The rent is CHEAP!

It's so economical. It's hard to walk away from.

Oooookay, that's two for supercheap then. Would you really just leave if it weren't for that?

Probably? It's much more inconvenient than my previous flat. And it's [...] strange here.

I mean, yeah. Can't argue with strange. But not dangerous? And strange can be interesting if it's not dangerous.

[...] Seems a bit early to say it's not dangerous. If you ask me.

Almost two months is too early?

Two months isn't long.

[...]

Did you all ever find out who was hosting that party? Willoughby said that the invitations weren't from the staff 'explicitly'. Whatever that means.

Two months is ages to hold off on a fiendish plan.

But no, I don't think so? There wasn't really anyone in charge at the thing itself except maybe the egg bloke. And the chickens, sort of.

And it was a whole big thing too, like the carnival. Everything looking like a totally different place, like outside. It's got to be a mental amount of work even with magic, I can move a bunch of sand but can't make it actually look entirely like a beach, you know? So there had to have been more than one person involved.

I feel like scheming and patience go hand in hand, actually.

[...] Does that not concern you?

Well I mean... obviously it sounded sketchy as hell. But talking about it before, even though we didn't quite know how it would all be, made it sound a bit less mad since we'd all be in it together. If a bunch of my mates are there, I reckon we can deal with it. Especially with like all the Potters about, that's like their job and all.

And then when we got there the worst that happened was losing a good costume, spin the chicken and some folks making themselves sick. I've been to loads worse parties than that so no, it doesn't worry me that I don't know who threw it.

And you know, nothing really awful has even happened here since we moved in? It's mostly little weird things but no one's even gotten hurt, right, even with the lift. And if nothing happened to me at the Carnival of Edible Nightmares or at the not-an-orgy, I'm not gonna fash myself until something new happens that's actually a danger.

I think I'd look to Roxanne before any of the Potters, given their areas of expertise. [...] But I take your points. I suppose. [...] I'll fash enough for both of us, anyway.

She'd probably be the most effective, but never underestimate a family legacy.

And yeah I reckon you will. Do you have a theory on what the goal is yet or is that just general fashing? Last I heard Lorcan's is still the only one out there but I've not kept a tally or nowt.

Legacy is a bit hit and miss in my experience.

[...] Not really. Too many unknowns still.

Maybe, but even if the genes don't work out the weight can be there.

Would it help to just think it's probably the matchmaking and plan for that but keep your eyes open?

~~The matchmaking option is its own sort of daunting, isn't it?~~ [...] I'm not ready to make assumptions. But I'll keep my eyes open, certainly.

Thank you for your [...] ~~concern~~ consideration, though.

Oh, sure. I get that it's weird and all.

Edited (Herp derp should've checked. Imma go with "Corrie didn't take it so she doesn't recognize the name anyway") 2021-03-29 04:34 (UTC)

And all.

Would you like an update if I see [...] anything of note?

Edited (asdfadf I had to check myself, honestly. But makes sense to me!) 2021-03-29 23:33 (UTC)

Oh yeah that'd be really useful, cheers!

You'd pick Roxie over me to save you from a creeper party? I'm offended.

From anything, really.

It's nothing personal. She's just more qualified.

Come on. Even you would pick me over you to save you from a creeper party.

And that's fine.

And would you come to my rescue?

Yeah. Family first.

That can't be the only reason you're staying.

Time's not real, luv.

It's totally real, it's just a contortionist or something

A shapeshifter, even.

You trying to tell me something?

Only that I'm equally mysterious.

OOooooOOO

We're in a pocket dimension where time doesn't matter and everything's egg.

This would explain so much.

What are the chances we make it a full year?

Edited 2021-03-29 02:11 (UTC)

Everyone won't. Pretty sure about that. And if it is a matchmaking thing, maybe we're not meant to and that means we're actually losing.

Ah, we'll get the boot the minute we pair up? Better choose very carefully then...

I doubt we can knock on Henhurst's door a few months later saying pretty please, things didn't work out can we be let back in?

I mean, there's still spots open now so unless everyone comes running to get matched.

There's a hot tub?

You didn't have a hot tub before? You seem like the type to demand it.

I did not. If you ignore the creepy shit and avoid the elevator, I say this is still a step up.

Me too, if mainly cause it's not all Quidditchers who steal each other's milk.
