Are senior projects like, essential to graduation? Not that I haven't been working on mine, but I'm starting to suspect I'll lose my mind and it will go unfinished.

Maybe I'll just become a hobo.

[Warded to Z]

Hey. Doing alright? Fancy a night of lazing about, possibly napping like old people, without homework or other people?

[Warded to Chris]

How's the stress? Sleeping any more?

This. I feel like that is my default state now. Sleeping and worrying about senior project. Which is almost done. But still. It is a Thing that bugs me. All the fucking time.

Right? Like I fucking feel like a zombie half the time, and I'm not even as studious as others. Instead of 'brains' I chant 'project'

I think we're overdue for some relaxation.

I wholeheartedly agree.

Beer? We can get sloshed and you can update me about you and Z. Or just girls in general. As long as we don't talk about work.

Beer sounds great. Also updating, so long as you're willing to offer some too.

No work. No school. Nothing of any real importance.

Me? I'm still single and available, my friend. That's the best way to be.

Sounds fucking fantastic.

Right. And not still dealing with any lingering [...] ~~emotions~~ from a recent upsetting event?

Name the time and place, Rasmussen.

~~Maybe~~ Dude, stop stalking. It's not cool.

Now? We have a bit before curfew.

It's not stalking if things spread through the school. I can't turn off my ears.

Also, Z and I just had this talk and we're still cool. I have a leather jacket.

Sounds good to me. Place?

~~Really? The whole school?~~ Well, you should.

Didn't you already have one? Geez, Hertz. You're vainer than I thought.

Then how would I hear the lovely sound of your voice, Jer?

Nobody's perfect. I had to have some flaw.

I'm emotionally inept, not mute.

For the record, I had a leather jacket way before you did.

Hi, mostly, yes. xx

I'm so tiiiired.

Let's try and get that mostly up to 'pretty much', eh?

I'll make you tea and let you use me as a pillow.

Not until we beat Ebonhide!

You are so lovely. x

Wanna chat about your project?

Ah Quidditch. Age old nemesis of sleep.

Only for you ♥

Sure. I could definitely use another head with this thing to help with mine.

I live in the Quidditch Hellzone now.
Plans must be made.

We're gross.

What are you hung up on, exactly? x

Do I even want to ask what the Hellzone is? [...] Yeah, yeah I do.

Plans really need to be made. And we're not gross. Just, advanced in our togetherness and love.

Okay we're gross.

I'm just stuck on how to actually implement such a system. Like I have it all written down, the theory explained, the benefits, the possible setbacks, etc. But I can't figure out a working way to somehow alert witches and wizards that these kids who are in no-maj neighborhoods with no-maj families need help.

I wish I could make some kind of Bat signal.

It's everything.
Drills are crazy. 3x the practice. Extra. Extra. Extra.
Being on two teams is [....] really great, but [....] EXTRA.

How did this happen to us?
We used to be cool.
x

What if you could?
Or like --
Have it be something you opt-in to, or something with connection to auror's offices and stuff?
You could do a charm like Hermione Granger in the War, with something that buzzes and alerts you when a kid is in need?
But then how do you like [...] let them know exactly where to go [...]

Edited 2017-04-21 05:26 (UTC)

[...] That sounds like literal hell. I thought it was an exaggerated nickname.
I don't even know how you still have time to talk to me right now, honestly. Or energy for that matter.

We're still cool. You're in a band. I have a fauxhawk and a leather jacket. We got this still.

You might be onto something there. With the opt-in AND the charm. Though how would they opt-in? Hmm.

Maybe there would be a way to incorporate a tracking spell? And the charm could alert when magic is in use somewhere off grid?

No, it's very real. For better or worse.
To be honest, I have no idea?
I'm going to graduate and just turn into a pile of ashes.

Cling to it. Don't let our coolness die, Ryan.

I guess like [...] You could advertise it?
And people could just sign up, but [...] You probably need legal consult. :(

This is just getting more and more complicated. Oh my god.
You could layer the tracking spell into whatever charmwork went into pinging off the kid in the first place?
It'd be complicated, but it could work.

You and Chris and this Quidditch monster. But at least it's a fun hell, right?
I'll carry you around in my hobo container. Keep you with me on the rough streets.

Never. It will live on always. Even when we're old.

Right? Do you see why I'm considering a life in a cardboard box instead of trying to graduate?

I like the layering idea, though. This has merit. I'm not nearly advanced enough in my thoughts to have come up with this. This is why I need you.

I like it. It's saving my life.
You wouldn't even be the weirdest person out there. Like. Tragic backstory? Setting you up for the redemption arc where you make millions and better the world.

Are you sure?

And I need you to help me relax! xx
We'll get you through this.

Need a little help there, buddy?

[warded to Ryan]

I missed the flash mob today because I was sleeping. Does that count?

[...]

Rafael offered me an out with Robin.

So the hives are gone at least.

Is hobo life not respectable enough?

[Chris]

It sort of counts. It's better than not sleeping, at least.

There was a flash mob?

What kind of out? Though I'm glad the hives are gone.

It's respectable. You can always get a nomaj GED and wait tables.

[Ryan]

Yeah. They had a flash mob at lunch. Dancing and shit, I guess. Lunch is kinda my designated impromptu nap time. So I've kinda been skipping it lately.

Ramirez offered to talk to a couple teachers. He's a teacher's pet, apparently that comes with some advantages. Which, to be honest, hadn't even occurred to me.

Stress is better. Coppertale's game is behind us, we've won our last three, we stand an actual shot of actually winning the cop despite our piss poor start to the season. We've won more games than Azurcrest at this rate. That Hogwarts game is gonna fucking kill me. I still don't feel like we're a cohesive unit. I've never been more unsure of a team in my entire life.

I don't think I have the personality for that.

[Chris]

Oh. I was working on the project in my cabin since it was quiet. And also maybe just zoned out for a bit. I don't remember lunch either. But you, you need to remember to eat. You're already skinny enough.

That didn't occur to me either, but it's good that he's doing that. Robin doesn't deserve to flunk out.

Also good. I hope you guys win, honestly. I know that's bad to say. I'm such a bad Azurcrest. When is the Hogwarts game? Is there time to practice more?

Should've joined a band, man.

I'm starting to think you're right, dude.

A Senior Project is definitely required to graduate. I know it can be overwhelming, but just try to pace yourself and you'll get there.

Is here anything I can do to help? Sometimes just talking through things or getting a second set of eyes on a problem can do wonders.

I know, I know. Sigh. Ruining my dreams, Cecil.

Actually, that ~~might be really helpful~~ would be cool. If you have any time this week, I'll take you up on that. Only if you're not busy, though.

Sorry, Ry. Someone had to be the voice of reason and since it's basically my job anyway...

I've got time. Just let me know when and we can spend some time going through it!

This is true. You are good at it, too.

Thanks Cecil. I'll definitely let you know.

Thanks? I think?

Sounds good.

As long as you become the best motherfucking hobo you can be.
