I got home before my parents did. Hahahaha.
So I acted all disappointed in them like, "I was so worried about you. Where have you been all night? Do you know what time it is? I stayed up and waited. Don't you think about anyone but yourselves??"

[...]

[...]

It didn't go well. They said they'd kick me out after school if Fuuuuck Nisha and I are sentenced to wandless yard work. I thought hungover quidditch practice was the worst but I was wrong. Nothing is worse than shoveling mulch at 9am in March in New York. WHO MULCHES IN MARCH ANYWAY??? My parents are savages.

[...]

But it was worth it.

Anyone know of any, like, "respectable" academic internships I can apply for? I gotta send out seven applications before Sunday or my ass is grass.

[Warded to Reid]

Hey, so last night was I wanted to say thank you how's the hangover? well this is a mess may as well commit to it now you have made a huge mistake

Are you going on that camping trip?

Comments

[knightly]

Xavier.

[...] Did you have fun?

[solveforx]

Ravi!

I had too much fun. I'm retiring from fun.

[...]

Did you know the boat to Staten Island runs 24-hours a day?

How's the road trip going?? Tried surfing, yet?

[knightly]

I did, in fact, know that the boat to Staten Island runs 24-hours a day. I'm quite glad neither of you drowned. Or were mugged.

We're in San Diego. The sun is out. The beach is warm. Asher and I are hungover. That sounds a lot more adventurous than it actually is.

[solveforx]

Nah, we're good. We were safe.

Ravi Dhaliwal. HUNGOVER?? Sounds like a blast! Don't let them turn you into too much of a hooligan. Looking forward to hearing stories on Sunday.

[bambae]

I got a very stern talking to from my mom. Not because I snuck off to New York, but because she seriously thinks me and Youngblood are out being vigilantes and fighting the good fight or some shit. She says we have too many unexplained bruises and that she's seen them shows.

How's your face?

[solveforx]

Were you out fighting crime? Because I'd buy it if you said you were.

And my face is handsome as usual. Just. Also purple. And a little hurty. I told my folks I walked into a stop sign and they believed it.

[bambae]

Youngblood did hit a mugger with a trashcan lid last night so like technically

Was getting punched in the face cathartic though?

[solveforx]

You fought a mugger?? Damn dude.

Mostly it just fuckin hurt. But some good came of it so ya know count your blessings or whatever.

[ulixes]

Yeah, I'll bet your mama just loved that one.

Glad to see you're still with us, Lewis. Sorry about the mulch. Can't you just use your wand when your folks aren't looking?

[solveforx]

It's the closest I've ever come to being eaten by a dragon, I tell you what.

They locked 'em up in the friggin liquor cabinet of all places. Cruel joke. Nisha told me she knows how to pick locks but I am at max capacity for parental wrath right now. So hard labor it is.

You and Cricket made it outta there safe, yeah?

[ulixes]

Shit. I'm scared just thinking about it. Think I'd take my chances with the dragon first. Hell, even my mom Least the dragon ain't gonna put you on in the naughty corner and then hide your wand for good measure.

No problems here. I didn't really drink last night, anyways. Pretty sure my folks are worse off than I am, and they're fine, honestly.

[cygninae]

It was fun though. Sorry your parents are pissed.

[Xavier]
Why
Are you

I guess so. Since Sy's going. [...] But like he'll want to hang out with his not-girlfriend anyway. If you wanted to hang out with me.

[solveforx]

Yeah, a good night. It's cool you really saved my ass I think it woulda been worse if I got caught there, so, thanks.

[Reid]
I would. Like to. That'd be fun.

[cygninae]

Cool. Anytime.

[Xavier]
Yeah. Okay. We should do that then.

I have to tell y
Hey about that swan that
Fuck fuck fuck

I really like you.

[browbeats]

I don't know why we can't make it through an entire party without someone getting punched. But thank you for helping us keep that tradition alive.

[solveforx]

After I got over being pissed I felt honored to be part of something bigger than myself. Getting coldcocked at a party is a surprisingly interesting way of solving problems.

[browbeats]

Turns out the only problem it consistently solves is "I'm out of problems to solve."

Maybe next time we'll give out flower crowns instead.

[potionz]

I'm hearing about a lot of potions opportunities at this conference, if you'd be interested in anything like that? They all seem a little bit boring, but [...]

[solveforx]

Z!!! You are the best. I would appreciate that. Thank you! I can probably handle a potions internship as long as they don't make me stack beakers or anything.

[potionz]

♥ I can't guarantee it'll never happen, but at least most of these look like they'd be parent-approved. They have all the buzzwords.

[chryseis]

In what field, exactly?

For the internships, not the mulch.

[solveforx]

Z's getting me some info about Potions stuff, but in a perfect world, Transfiguration. I'm sure out there somewhere there's an Animagus Studies researcher who needs an assistant to do their filing and get their coffee order right 8 out of 10 times. And I am that dude.

Got any sweet connections, Cricket?

[guthriegazette]

1) Oof, mulching. My thoughts are with you in this trying time.
2) Very curious to hear stories when we're all back.
3) ...I guess making plans for after graduation is probably good.
4) So hungover

[solveforx]

I made it through because of your positive vibes, bro.

I promise you guys will get all the deets when we're back, because that party was wild.

And, yeah, I pretty much, like, have to, now. But I guess it's not so bad. You still lookin' too?

[guthriegazette]

Always happy to help. And always happy to receive deets.

I'm definitely also still looking. Maybe we should just get an apartment together in the city and pretend like we have jobs. We can send Ravi letters about how great we're doing!
