Cecil Honeychurch is a goddamn national treasure.

And bootcamp has been moved to Friday. It is the final bootcamp. First game is on Sunday. Your teams are practically in stone because we judge you. Very harshly.

That being said, if you feel unhappy with your performance and want more practice time, come find me or Quinn at any time. Even after the games start. Quinn has literally nothing else going on. Trust me, she lives for this. The best time to approach her is in the library.

Nineteen more days, then we're out of this fucking place.

And happy birthday, McBride. My gift to you was you not having to be quarantined. Treasure it.

Do not approach me in the library unless you have very specific questions about a real class that we share. It will get you nowhere.

I'm very approachable otherwise! You can come speak to me during a meal as long as I'm not reading or writing. I skate every morning and I'm happy to have others join me, just don't slow me down.

Oh, and don't talk to me in the Artificing Shed, either. Ha! I almost forgot that one!

[bambae]

so fucking high maintenance

[quinning]

That's me! How dare I give my schoolwork priority! I must be the worst!

[bambae]

and dramatic too

[quinning]

Are you expecting me to argue with any of these points? Because they're pretty accurate as far as I'm concerned.

[bambae]

I'm just seeing if you'll argue with any of these points just for the hell of it

[quinning]

. . . Naaah!

[gdilevi]

Yes he most certainly is.

And I'm still a little shaky on body checks.

[bambae]

it's really because you just need more practice getting knocked on your ass on the ice

[gdilevi]

Yeah. I mean, I have plenty of experience getting knocked on my ass on the ground but not nearly enough on the ice to feel prepared. Help.

[bambae]

What kind of doctor professor would I be if I didn't take pity on my student and ensure he's the best body checker he could possibly be. Fear not. I'll help you.

[addytives]

Best person in the nation, poss also planet earth, I think you mean!

[bambae]

i mean, i wasn't trying to give him too big of a head

[browbeats]

How's your face Those nineteen days are going to fly by when classes are cancelled for ten of them.

[bambae]

How's your hand

Are those not the ten days we spend in a drunken haze before going home?

[browbeats]

No, it's nine days in quarantine, eight days in a drunken haze, two days of panicked last minute packing, and a partridge in a pear tree, probably.

[bambae]

Don't you dare fucking jinx this, Rosemary.

[browbeats]

For what is probably not the last time, my dumb jokes most likely don't have any effect on reality. And if they do, why are we not using this to our advantage?

[bambae]

We aren't using this to our advantage because you're a perpetual pessimist, and your dumb jokes are the only thing that effects reality.

[tinyrebel.insanejournal.com]

Some of us are fucking born ready.

[vicpower.insanejournal.com]

How hard do you judge those of us who are completely and impossibly terrible?

[cheerpowers]

The hockey cheer squad is here for you! You're great! You're going to win! You're the best!

[vicpower.insanejournal.com]

1)I'm not
2)That's unlikely unless my teammates completely avoid interacting with me
3)I appreciate it nontheless

[bambae]

I'm fucking with you. We're an equal opportunity hockey league.

i mean teams are dictated by playing ability and badge color but it's so that there's a balance of everything. And everybody gets to play, regardless of playing ability. Like your team isn't gonna avoid interacting with you because that defeats the purpose of playing. And it's a dick move.

[vicpower.insanejournal.com]

I'm mostly kidding.

I'm terrible at team sports and hate the cold, but it's still been fun to learn even if I've spent more time falling on my face than I probably should.

I appreciate the opportunity all the same.

[noblewon]

This poor Californian needs extra skating help.

How will I murder people if I can't get to them.

[bambae]

Girl I got you

[noblewon]

Watch me aggressively fall on my ass repeatedly.

[bambae]

I got that too

[noblewon]

I figured.

[bambae]

I might even take pity and attempt to catch you at some point

[noblewon]

No no just let me fall like a tree.

shhh ignore that journal, he's not ready yet

[bambae]

I can't let you fall like a tree, the idea is to keep the lake in one piece so we can all skate on it Sunday.

[noblewon]

Excuse you, was that a fat joke?

[bambae]

I would never dream of making a fat joke about you, Tess

My death wish is not that extreme

[noblewon]

I'm just checking.

I was worried about your safety and mental health.

[bambae]

Yeah, don't worry, I'm not that far gone yet.

[noblewon]

Glad to hear it. At least until you teach me to skate.
