[Avery]

You were a beast out there. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have won.


[Casper]

I figured the infirmary would be pretty full with Ebonhides, that's why I haven't come over. Are you feeling okay? I think I lost ten years off my life watching that bludger hit you.

[Ulysses]

Is Casper really okay? I asked him but he's going to lie to me.

Jer [...] You remember last year? Uh huh. Watch your back, that's all I'm saying.

Oh, trust me, esteem's not the problem. [...] Don't worry, we'll get over it. I just wish I Shouldn't've come down to the seekers anyhow. If we'd If I'd Last game of high school. Pretty soon, none of it'll matter at all. And doesn't that just feel

Gwen/Ulysses

[gwenniepop]

That's what I'm saying, only the best of buddies go for the stab in the back.

[...] Look, I know I'm just the evil one in this scenario, but I am your friend. You can say what you want to me. [....] I know everyone says it won't matter soon but it matters right now.

Gwen/Ulysses

[ulixes]

Ain't you lucky.

[... ... ...] Aw, no, it's nothing. I really ought to switch to pens. My quill's always smearing ink halfway across the page. [...] It's I was just thinking about how sa funny it is, y'know, realizing there won't be another game. You know what I mean. [...] Unless wait, shit, maybe you're going pro too?

Gwen/Ulysses

[gwenniepop]

Mm, knife in the back, so genuinely classic.

Are you sure [...] Oh, no, I'm not going pro. I haven't had so much as a blip from a recruiter. I'm guessing they are holding out for someone flashier more like your teammate there. Seekers they don't need so many of, anyway. But I'm cool, I'm really crossing my fingers for an apprenticeship with this big time metal charmer. You? I think a couple people are looking good to the teams out there.

It is funny. The season [...] and the whole year went by so fast. I'm already getting choked up about it.

Gwen/Ulysses

[ulixes]

Oh, I see. Yeah, no, I'm not [...] taking this any further myself. [...] Decourt's had a job lined for ages. Avery too, if I remember right. Actually, come to think of it, I reckon all the other captains got scouted by some team or another. Not sure about Castillo. Maybe I should actually talk to him sometime, instead of just

But anyway, I'm sure it won't be too hard for someone like you to get an apprenticeship. If there's anything I've learned from Reece, it's that you Artificing types are in high demand.

Strange, right? I can't decide if last year feels like it happened yesterday or a million years ago.

Gwen/Ulysses

[gwenniepop]

I don't know about Jaime either. I know Avery has been in knots about it, though. She's worried every time she misses a single goal. She's going to stress herself into an early grave. [...] It's hard to believe both you and Casper are swearing off the game after graduation. You're so good.

I'm going as specialty as I can so I'm not competing with too many other Artificiers. Hard metal charming isn't real glamorous so I'm hoping that lessens the competition. It's also years of apprenticing. Jeez, I'm almost talking myself out of it. What are you going to do?

Last year clearly was only hours ago and time is moving way too fast. Like we just became friends

Gwen/Ulysses

[ulixes]

What's there to stress about? They're not gonna pull her spot just 'cause we got a few quaffles past her. I mean, [...] hell, not her fault we're good too. And Casper — he could play for the All-Stars or the Hoop Snakes or anyone if he wanted to, but he's gonna be an Auror, so. Onto bigger and better things that Quidditch, I suppose. Probably lucky I got him to stick with the team as long as he did.

Oh, hush. It'll be great. Bring me something special to our next reunion so I can see what it is a real master does.

[...] Me? I I don't k I [...] got loads of options, but I'll probably do an internship with MACUSA. Maybe something with the state. After all that stuff last year, I think my mama'd rather have me close to home for a while.

Gwen/Ulysses

[gwenniepop]

I don't know why she still stresses; she's going to have a team waiting. But I don't think it will sink in with her until she's signed on the dotted line. And Casper just isn't into it. We've talked about it before, and you know how he is. He already wants to be out of here and living his life, and doing something more important than a game. Being an Auror is really important to him. Quidditch is just a distraction. But I wish he'd let a few more distractions into his life.

It's a promise. I'll bring you something cool, although depending on the years til the reunion, it might still be apprentice-level. Actually, if I hit master, you'll get the first thing I make.

Nothing wrong with putting out feelers for a while. You wanna know where that master I want to work with lives? Tromso, Norway. I'm going to be a popsicle for the next decade and you'll get to do cool stuff with MACUSA. Learn all their crazy secrets.

Gwen/Ulysses

[ulixes]

Norway? Get out of town. What've they possibly got out there that you can't learn in the US of A?
