Hi, guys. Not to interrupt the fun too much.
But if you notice any [...] age-related health concerns, please don't ignore them. Go to the Healer. Maybe hold off on exertion if your physical condition's altered too much. If there are any concerns, please speak up.

I fully admit this is the strangest PSA I've ever had to make. And I hope you're all enjoying your free trip to the future, I guess?

Um, maybe Pre-Healer Studies can keep an eye out too? Like, for our ancient peers?

YEAH like DON'T play quidditch if you're PRETTY SURE you're gonna DIE.

This is it. Today's the day someone has a heart attack.

[browbeats]

I hope nobody dies so I don't have to feel guilty about how much of my ass I've laughed off today.

[ferdie]

That's a really good idea. Thanks.
I'm sure this is all temporary, but until we know for sure, it's probably best to be careful

[ferdie]

Exactly. Thank you. There'll still be Quidditch if when it'll be more fun to play it.

[ferdie]

I'd started assuming it'd be me.
I'm not so sure anymore.

[magitechnically]

EVEN if we use TENNIS BALLS???

I always kinda figured I'd go grey before I graduated.

Should we shut down this Quidditch game?

[ferdie]

You're just lacking in empathy because you're young.

Ferdie/Reece

[ferdie]

Don't count it out yet. I haven't found any grey hairs today, but I'm looking.

[...] I don't want to shut it down entirely. A lot of the 20-30-40 range could probably still play. But we should probably go to strongly discourage the temporarily elderly.

[browbeats]

I could just look really good for 45.

Ferdie/Reece

[peanutbuttercup]

[...] I'll go monitor the situation, at least. I wouldn't put it past some of those guys to try.

Ferdie/Reece

[ferdie]

Me neither, honestly. Especially since the younger kids seem to be much older. Figures. I'll come, too. Let's see if 20+ commands more authority naturally.

[ferdie]

That'd be like you somehow. We're all very jealous.

[browbeats]

Even gray hair knows better than to fuck with a Stoker. How are the upper twenties/early thirties treating you today? Is it all just existential pain at that age?

[ferdie]

Mostly. I haven't done anything with my life, and some days I still feel like I'm in high school.

[ferdie]

It would probably be safer to stay on the ground. At least until you all get young again.

[cecaelian]

Don't tell me they overlooked this one in the prefecting manual.

[Ferdie]
Thoroughly enjoying it.

[ferdie]

Sadly neglected. I'll propose an addendum.

[Ursula]
I'm glad someone is.

[cecaelian]

Start brainstorming all the potential catastrophes this school could face. Guard it with your life though or you're bound to inspire someone.

[Ferdie]
Have you looked in a mirror?

[ferdie]

It's a good senior project idea, if submitted confidentially.

[Ursula]
It's [...] different.

[browbeats]

They say there's always time to change your life, but you've got to think about retirement eventually. You never know when you'll wake up and be 90.

[ferdie]

I have more than one reason to believe that could be tomorrow. I need to open a savings account.

[cecaelian]

Have you settled on one yet?

[Ferdie]
That's certainly one word for it. Not the one I'd go to first.
