once again i have to say that its DEEPLY unjust that i grew up in a sawmill and i'm still being denied use of a simple handaxe. next year. next year is my time. i've had my eye on a specific tree since freshman year and i've been whispering threats to it every time we do this. 2014: the final showdown

Careful now, what if that tree's also been preparing since your freshman year?

[neattrick]

I'm ready. I wanted to give a fair fighting chance

[uponawire]

But the power of seasonal bloodlust will surely fuel your victory next year.

[neattrick]

i'm really concerned that people aren't taking my victory over this tree as a given

[uponawire]

I'm not doubting your abilities. The only thing they're dependent on whether or not you get an axe.

But it does make for a better story if the tree puts up a fight.

[neattrick]

if Mr Thorn doesn't let me use an axe I'm pulling it down with my bare hands

[uponawire]

Maybe all of the barbs you've been throwing at it have chipped away at its self-confidence and it's just going to collapse on its own.

[neattrick]

Don't make me feel guilty for trash talking a plant

[uponawire]

It probably deserved it.

[neattrick]

it definitely did. it's kinda lopsided. it's not even that good of a christmas tree

[uponawire]

Then you're really just doing a community service to the whole school.

[cheerpowers]

I feel like posts like these are exactly what denies you use of a handaxe.

That being said, I'm totally on board with your victory next year.

[neattrick]

I will grant everyone that there are certain privileges that i should probably NOT be given, but i swear to GOD i know how to use a handaxe

Thanks Vee ❤

[cheerpowers]

Using one and using one responsibly are very different, my darling.

I've already started making signs and everything.

[neattrick]

Why does everyone automatically assume something bad would happen if i had an axe. This is so unfair. I'm being slandered

[cheerpowers]

I mean. I'm not slandering. I'm being honest. And still supporting your site victory next year.

[neattrick]

Now it's a matter of pride. I'm cutting that tree down and NOBODY is losing a finger in the process

We're gonna pretend I didn't write site instead of sure

[cheerpowers]

YOU CAN DO IT! I BELIEVE IN YOU

Sorry, Ebonhide Quidditch.

[ninjaleo]

As long as I get proof, you and Wilde can participate.
In the future I want you and everyone else here to be aware of how the risks you take off the field affect your performance on it. It's not gonna help us win the cup to have people in detention and wounded all year because they thought the latest stupid plan sounded kind of fun.
That's the only lecture. I wanted to get it out of the way so we get to practice for the full time tomorrow.

Ebonhide Quidditch.

[neattrick]

Thank you o benevolent captain Leo

Joke's on you though cause I was totally ready to eat it and grovel all winter

Ebonhide Quidditch.

[ninjaleo]

I don't need grovelling all winter. I need a team who isn't distracted and will win games.

Ebonhide Quidditch.

[neattrick]

I'm not distracted! It's winter's fault! i go stir crazy with all this weather and lack of proper sports

Ebonhide Quidditch.

[ninjaleo]

Find an indoor hobby. Or get awesome at hockey.

Ebonhide Quidditch.

[neattrick]

i did! I've been learning to knit and I'm awesome at everything. Do you want a hat for Christmas?

Ebonhide Quidditch.

[ninjaleo]

Always room for improvement.
And sure. Thanks.

Ebonhide Quidditch.

[neattrick]

i fully expect it to be worn

Ebonhide Quidditch

[casperkim]

Save the lectures for the people that need them, Fiori.

Ebonhide Quidditch

[neattrick]

we all know he just said everyone else so i wouldn't feel attacked

Ebonhide Quidditch

[casperkim]

Yeah. Well. I already got pulled into this nonsense once as a prefect; I don't need to get pulled into it again.

And, if Fiori's too kind to say it, I'm not: what you and Wilde did the other day was fucking stupid. Congratulations on keeping your skulls intact.

Ebonhide Quidditch

[neattrick]

If I could do it all over again i would perhaps not have gone down the second time

Ebonhide Quidditch

[casperkim]

You don't say.

Ebonhide Quidditch

[ninjaleo]

I don't want there to be any confusion on expectations for the future. In case anyone else had grand plans to sled or whatever. If you don't need the reminder, good.

[cmdrchloe]

In a game I play a lot if you cut down too many trees sometimes a tree monster comes to life and tries to kill you. I hope yours isn't secretly a monster.

[neattrick]

that sounds AWESOME

[cmdrchloe]

Really? It is!

I figured out though that if you run ahead of it and hurry and plant a bunch of seeds, you can appease it and it goes back to sleep. So keep that in mind! :)

[neattrick]

bring seeds! run fast! got it

[cmdrchloe]

Can't hurt!

And anyway, planting a seed after you cut it down is kind of a nice thing anyway. :)

Clem

[casperkim]

So. Morning run back on, then?

Clem/Casper

[neattrick]

Please. Not even the snowy weather will stop me! But if I fall on ice and break my leg while we're jogging you gotta vouch for me that I wasn't doing anything dumb

Clem/Casper

[casperkim]

Bring your trail shoes; you'll be fine. But, yeah, if you fall I'll make sure you don't get another lecture. If Fiori wants a team with any endurance, he can't give us shit for this.
