Always wear a helmet while playing hockey, kids.

[Big Fish]

Hey guys, I mentioned this on Nia’s announcement, but I wanted to reiterate and over explain for you:

If at any point you find yourself in need of a buddy or a prefect, I am always available. That goes for early, late, when I’m at a club, any time. I know I have a reputation for being strict, but I don’t want anyone thinking they can’t ward me after curfew for fear of being scolded. I want you safe, and also I want Ribbonfin to win the House Cup. Use these things to your advantage.

[...] And if you need to talk about anything that’s on your mind, complain about classes, vent or fret or anything like that, I’m ~~your worst possible option but~~ here too. Fair warning, my solutions often involve a lot of violence toward inanimate objects and physical exertion, so I hope Kurt and Ferdie don’t mind me volunteering them as gentler, alternative ears.

~~[Casey]~~

~~Oh my god Rosemary no~~

[Roxie]

~~I found a thing I don't like being good at and it's fucking up.~~

I need to hide on a roof.

[...] But not in Coppertale.

GOOD ADVICE!!!

[...] How's your head?

I'm sure it's nothing a lot of macho posturing can't fix. I'll intimidate this headache into submission.

If I was your concussion, I'd be scared for sure! I hope your BRAIN BRUISING is as easily COWED as I am.

I've never met a mild head injury I couldn't conquer through sheer willpower. I'm going to change the field of magic medicine someday.

Where are the PRE-HEALER students when you need them? They should be taking NOTES.

[...] I'm glad you're feeling better.

New direction for my senior project at the very least.

Thanks. It's not my first concussion, and with any luck it won't be my last. I've got the routine down by now.

I'm no SCIENTIST, but I'm PRETTY SURE you're not supposed to AIM for additional head trauma.

I don't understand. How am I supposed to win the brain damage blue ribbon then?

Hockey's only third for emergency room visits for youth sports, anyway. And that's for no-majs. I bet it doesn't even break the top five when you factor in quidditch and quodpot and whatever other "I dare you to kill me" wizard sports I haven't heard of, yet.

So, clearly, you just need to take up football, also.

Where's professional bullriding rank?

That's GOT to be rare, right?

The underground bullriding rings of Southern California probably have their own private doctors, you're right.

And only people on the inside get those metrics.

Hey.
Here’s that reminder the open ear thing extends to you too.
This is a lot, isn’t it.

~~I'm fine, I~~

[...] Same to you, if you feel like hitting some things with a bat at any point.

I'm just [...] not sure how excited I am to start fighting a new thing in the woods that wants to steal everyone.

That’s probably unadvisable unless you’re in the market to give someone else an accidental concussion.

But yeah. I know.
And this time they can have our faces.

A concussion a day gets the Healer to payday.

Well, the obvious solution is to completely isolate yourself and don't care about anyone. Harder to fool your friends and loved ones if they don't exist.

So that’s what they’ve been teaching you in Pre-Healer Studies.

It’d never work, I’m a public figure.
Though you know, actually? Let a stranger try to be a head or prefect. They’d be begging to be put back pretty quickly, we’d be rid of the problem right away.

It's a practical class full of practical lessons.

I mean, most of the students don't listen to us anyways, so no one would listen to them but they'd still have to counsel, wrangle, and clean up after every plague and poisoning gone awry. I think you're onto something, you should go get some new badges made.

Thank you, Rosy. I hope your head is feeling better today. I'm happy to walk with anyone at any time of the day.

It's still some time off and hopefully this will all be resolved by then, but [...] it hasn't escaped my notice that February's typical festivities could be easily exploited by these creatures. I'll be speaking with Mr. Hightower and Event Committee about this as well, but if anyone has any ideas on how to hold a dance where everyone doesn't constantly need to verify their date's identity, I'd love to hear them.

I regret to inform everyone that I'm expected to make a full recovery.

I'll brainstorm. This might be another point against the flowers, but at least those are still screened. The scope of their abilities is still [...] undefined, which makes it hard to actually nail down ways to get around their bullshit.

The season isn't over yet.

Thank you. Flowers seems like the more managable disaster of the two right now. I realize I can't be held responsible for any chaos of that nature, but [...] I'd like to take steps to minimize the risk. Unfortunately, you're right. It's all just tossing darts at this point.

That was quite a knock. I was impressed!

This Stranger business is wild, eh? Hope everyone stays safe.

You should see the other guy.

It's [...] something. And I would really like to encourage everyone to not take any chances with them around. ~~Things can turn f~~ ~~This school is not as safe as~~ [...] We don't know enough about them to know what is and isn't safe right now, and I don't have enough arms to drag all of you out of the woods. Don't make me reveal who my favorites are.

You can't tough out a concussion. I'd know.

Not with that attitude.

Shit. I'ce been going about wrong all these years.

If your head hurts, try just yelling at your head to stop complaining and get its shit together. Works every time, eventually.

Thank you Rosy. And, you know, we're here too if you need to talk or anything.

Thanks Chloe. But are you ready to hear me read my eighteen-page papers out loud a dozen times as I work through awkward syntax?

Absolutely!

I can do you one better if you're willing to climb a tree.

[...] You okay?

Do I have to climb it in heels?

It's [...] nothing I didn't earn.

No. That's not even remotely required, I promise.

I doubt that.

I want it written into the official record that I could do it if required.

Just [...] dumb sibling fights. We've been getting along for too long, guess it was inevitable.

I believe you. Bet you'd be real good at doing it blindfolded too.

Doesn't make it suck any less. [...] I'll make it a really tall tree.

Wouldn't be opposed to finding out.

[...] Thanks. The taller the better. And [...] can you just kind of keep an eye out over there? Make sure he doesn't do something stupid because ~~I said something stupid~~ everything is fucking awful?

I happen to have a number of blindfolds.

Of course. I promise. Things are a bit of a mess right now, but we've [...] got each other. As best as any of us can.

No woman should ever leave home without a blindfold in her bag.

I definitely made things messier. But [...] as long as I've got eyes and ears over there, I can rest a little easier.

Surprisingly versatile thing to have on hand, blindfolds.

Did you want to? And you've always got mine when you want them.

I didn't intentionally make things messier, but I did a pretty good job of it. I'm basically a natural. It's in my blood.

At least you were a total badass machine. That ALMOST makes it worthwhile, probably. ♥

If only I'd earned the approval of those fourteen-year-olds.

God we picked like the most trash kids. No taste.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with my fleshsuit.

It's beautiful even when concussed ♥

Next time let's just pick freshman proxies for ourselves and yell mean things at them instead.
