Hey is Bud okay? It feels like I haven't seen him in ages, which seems [...] weird under the circumstances.

[cristrelawney]

Perhaps he's preoccupied with his [...] romantic endeavors?

[chasingrivers]

i ship it

[cristrelawney]

[...] I don't know what that means. But it makes me uneasy.

[chasingrivers]

i support bud's l o v e don't you

[cristrelawney]

Bud's l o v e isn't any of my business. Really.

[corriespondence]

Maybe. Or maybe he's tangled up in someone else's.

[cristrelawney]

That seems [...] possible.

[...]

[Corrie]

Zsofika wouldn't [...] take it too far. Right?

She's reasonable.

Cris

[corriespondence]

Is she though? She thinks Bud's like, trying to seduce Morty or something. Because Morty bought him a cactus.

And she fancies Morty in the first place but there's no accounting for taste I guess.

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

Well. There is that. But even so.

[...]

Where would you rate cacti on the romantic scale?

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

For plants? Maybe above a Venus flytrap and below a thistle. The spines seem pretty unromantic but I guess it's nice to have something that lasts, and that you don't have to work really hard to take care of.

But I'm not a big plant person and I reckon Bud is. And it all depends on what the person likes, right?

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

Below thistle seems harsh. But I suppose you're right. It likely comes down to the person.

[...]

Should we try to find Bud?

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

Yeah, like I'm Scottish so thistle's always going to be above something.

And probably. I haven't seen him since they put in the wishing well maybe?

[...] I just had a horrible thought.

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

What?

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

So I wouldn't do this myself but... If someone was really mental over someone, like mad fancying them, but they were into someone else and then suddenly there was this wishing well where you could drop anything in and wish for anything... Maybe you'd think of dropping the Other Person in and wishing that your person would fall for you instead?

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

You mean

[......]

No. No. That's actually mental. Nobody would do that.

Maybe he's on vacation or something??

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

I mean I definitely hope he's just touring the Lakes but the timing's not great.

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

We don't even know what the timing is for certain. I've been busy with orders lately; I'm sure you've been busy too. Maybe the others have seen him.

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

Hopefully? I have been busyish and it'd definitely be an extreme way to go.

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

You don't sound convinced.
[...] Indeed.

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

[...] Just how far down do you reckon that well goes anyway?

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

No idea. [...] Why?

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

Gotta check out every lead, right?

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

How do you mean?

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

I mean, fastest way to see if someone's down a well is to check the well.

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

You [...] shouldn't. Though. You have no idea how deep it is or how its magical properties work or anything.

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

Which is why I'll need to be as prepared as I can be. I'm thinking a massive amount of rope, my wand, and two people to pull me back up. Can you think of anything else that would help?

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

[...] Do you know the bubble-head charm? Maybe we could create a portkey to bring you back to the rooftop in case the rope breaks?

But I still think you shouldn't.
You really shouldn't.

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

I haven’t done bubble-head in a while but I know it. A portkey sounds fantastic, do you know how to make those? I’ve never done, I thought they were really advanced magic.

And yeah, I know. But I think someone should and I’d rather it was me and not someone who’d jump in without thinking.

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

I [...] do. But we're supposed to get them authorised with the Ministry. Technically.

[...]

That's true. I doubt Hugo would even bring a rope.
But still.

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

I'm sure it'd be fine in an emergency. Anyway they can't tell when one's been done, can they?

He definitely wouldn't bring a portkey. And I know you wouldn't do it at all, but look how much safer it's already gonna be with your suggestions!

Corrie/Cris

[cristrelawney]

I'm not sure, honestly.

[......]

I want it to be safe. If it's happening.

Who're you going to ask to hold the rope?

Corrie/Cris

[corriespondence]

Well if we've got the portkey we might not need anyone to pull me up.

But there's a couple blokes on my floor who wouldn't intentionally drop me.
