I mean, I guess if I were going to show up covered in mud for a class, I'd want it to be Herbology where you're likely going to get dirty anyway?

Would have rather not bruised my tailbone, though.

You're a trendsetter. I think I saw some freshmen mudsledding between classes. If you don't want to get grumbled at by Mufferaw I bet Mr. Elmasry might be a little more sympathetic.

[oh_girl]

I mean, obviously. No one wears mud and vague shame and embarrassment quite like I do.

Definitely rather avoid Mufferaw. Elmasry it is! Good suggestion, thanks Lucas.

[bubblewrapped]

It's a bold choice.

[oh_girl]

Bold is beautiful, my friend.

[peanutbuttercup]

They better not be.

[oh_girl]

Fun-killer.

[peanutbuttercup]

What is wrong with this school? Why does one day of heavy rain have to result in three to five injuries?

[oh_girl]

Mudsledding is fun, Reece. Fun sometimes results in injury. Just like Quidditch. Are you anti-Quidditch, Reece?

[peanutbuttercup]

It's not even vaguely the same thing. Quidditch matches have the teachers and Mufferaw on hand to prevent and treat serious injury. You fling yourself down a muddy hill in the backwoods and break your neck, you die.

[oh_girl]

Are you against bicycle riding? Running in the mornings? Skateboards? What about pick up games between friends? Practicing on the field with one person?

SO MANY FUN THINGS ARE DANGEROUS.

[peanutbuttercup]

Don't obfuscate, Sam. Clearly some things are more dangerous than others. If they were being reckless on bicycles or running through dangerous terrain, no, that wouldn't be any better. And there's no way to responsibly mudsled down a hill unsupervised.

[oh_girl]

Dont obscuwh I don't know wh Mudsledding is not dangerous. Are you going to tell me that snow sledding down a hill is banned now too?

[peanutbuttercup]

Yes, we have very explicitly banned unsupervised snow sledding.

[oh_girl]

Wh I mean Looolll ok Reeces pieces.

[peanutbuttercup]

Go to Healer Mufferaw if you seriously think you're hurt.

[oh_girl]

It's just a bruise. Tailbones are like really hard to break right?

[Reece]

How are you? You seem a bit tense.

[peanutbuttercup]

You can bruise, dislocate, or fracture the bone. It's best to get it checked.

[Sam]
I am a little tense.

[oh_girl]

Ok fine I will go see Elmasry!

[Reece]

I'm sorry. I was just joking with you. You know I don't put much stock in rules but I try not to get myself hurt. I definitely did not go mudsliding on purpose I swear.

Anything I can do to help?

Reece

[ferdie]

Hey. Let me know if and when you want official backup? I don’t want to swoop over your head or anything, but if you need a foot down officially, I’d be glad to.

Reece/Ferdie

[peanutbuttercup]

I'm fine. She's just being Sam. This reminds me we probably should talk about what we're going to do to stop people from sledding down the hill once it starts snowing, though.

Reece/Ferdie

[ferdie]

Melt it,maybe.
We can have that conversation. Maybe try to get a sanctioned sled day

Reece/Ferdie

[peanutbuttercup]

That's a good idea and it'll be a fun activity but I'm becoming concerned that people enjoy the possibility they might die, so I'm worried they'll try it the dangerous way anyway. Maybe we can talk to Mr. Merrill about more serious punishments for unsupervised sledding too.

[taxation_is_theft]

She had supervision.

Big brother is always watching.

[peanutbuttercup]

Very cute and irrelevant to this conversation.

[taxation_is_theft]

You said without supervision. What's that giant ass moose doing if not supervising us? Can't take a piss without supervision no more.

[peanutbuttercup]

Let's not rely on a magical entity we don't fully understand to keep us from dying.

[taxation_is_theft]

Kinda already do that with cars don't we? And apparating. And doctors. And the teaching staff even after they didn't keep y'all from half freezing to death last year. Bout to port key to Japan and half of us can't even explain how the fuck that works but we trust we won't die during it. Why not add one more to the list of shit we don't understand but rely on.

[peanutbuttercup]

[...] We know how cars work, Quentin.

[taxation_is_theft]

The race of humans do. But individually, every sixteen year old that gets a license, you saying they understand completely how cars work?

[peanutbuttercup]

They should.

[taxation_is_theft]

humans as individuals ought to know lots of shit. Don't mean they do, they don't gotta. We got mechanics and healers and plumbers and farmers knowing all that shit for us.

Reece/Kenzie

[princeprincess]

Don't follow him down the rabbit hole, Reece.

Reece/Kenzie

[peanutbuttercup]

Sorry. I'm having an off day.

Reece/Kenzie

[princeprincess]

It happens to the best of us. There are just some people who aren't worth arguing with.

Any particular reason you're feeling "off"?

Reece/Kenzie

[peanutbuttercup]

Just stressed out, I guess. Telling people they can't do things that might kill them shouldn't feel like pulling teeth.

[tartinedeflageolets]

I thought he graduated?

[taxation_is_theft]

Graduated to the woods maybe. He ain't goin nowhere. How would he watch us if he left?

He don't got the code to the satellite surveillance the government uses to watch us.

[tartinedeflageolets]

Is he that worried about everyone??

That's probably a good thing as it sounds highly illegal.

[taxation_is_theft]

Everybody almost got killed last year so maybe? Idk it's sketchy as fuck but he's like stalking us and shit so probably?

Everything's highly illegal unless you the government

[tartinedeflageolets]

Language.

I don't think that's actually true.

[bubblewrapped]

You should set up a soccer net at the bottom of the hill to trap them. Want me to come hold an umbrella for you?

[peanutbuttercup]

I'll just go tell them off.

[bubblewrapped]

The classic approach.

[peanutbuttercup]

I'm not feeling very whimsical today.

[bubblewrapped]

Things get a little damp and suddenly the school is Death Race 2000. Can't blame you.

[peanutbuttercup]

Can't wait til it starts snowing.

[bubblewrapped]

At least you can't make ramps out of mud. True.
