So I found my turtle Ted in my first class today. She seems okay. I mean, she's a turtle, it's hard to tell? Maybe I should get her checked out?

Thanks to everyone who helped me look for her this weekend, hopefully this doesn't happen again. I might put a blinker on her shell or something just in case. But yeah, everyone who offered to help, just wanted to say thanks.

Good news.

If she's showing any signs of abnormal behavior, I'd have her checked out. Though if you're really concerned, it wouldn't hurt to have her checked out now.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

It's a relief. I mean, maybe not to her, she did try to run away. She probably hates me or something.

It's good I'm in Magizoology right now. At least that was convenient. Maybe I'll remember that next time I have to climb under my cabin to look for her.

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure she doesn't. Animals like to roam, it's what they do sometimes.

I have it later this afternoon. Never hurts to have a plan.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

Maybe I have an animagus that's just messing with my head and I don't know it. I bet that happens sometimes.

Like microchipping a dog back home, but [. . .] whatever the magical equivalent is. I only know how no-majs handle this stuff which isn't really helpful.

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

Somewhat doubtful, but it has happened before.

The Professor of the class might have a few ideas.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

I wonder if asking that is going to make a bad first day of the school year impression though.

[decisive.insanejournal.com]

Maybe not. I'm sure they'll have some tips for pet owners.

Balloon.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

But balloons kill sea turtles and they're probably related so that's probably a really bad idea.

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

But I'm not sure that's how this works. Don't feed the balloon to her. Tie it to her.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

When they pop they eat them because they think they're jellyfish or something, I don't think anyone's feeding busted balloons to sea turtles on purpose.

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

I don't think there are many land jellyfish.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

Between fire crabs and mandrakes and other stuff like that around, I really wouldn't be surprised if there's something like that.

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

That sounds fucking terrifying. They could really be anywhere.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

Exactly.

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure she wouldn't eat an inflated balloon though. Hopefully.

[valentinez.insanejournal.com]

Looks like she was just off on an adventure.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

Maybe she's bored in my dorm. I didn't really think I had to walk a turtle, I might just have a high-maintenance turtle.

[valentinez.insanejournal.com]

Where do you keep her? Is it a little tank, or [...]?

[all-apologies.insanejournal.com]

She was waiting for you.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

I think she knows my schedule better than I do. Or a weird coincidence.

[all-apologies.insanejournal.com]

That would be a weird coincidence.

How long have you had her?

[cmdrchloe]

I'm glad you found her!

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

I'm glad too, even if I feel a little guilty for letting her get loose in the first place.

[cmdrchloe]

Aw, I'm sure she just wanted to go on a little adventure!

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

Thank goodness she's OK! It couldn't hurt to ask Mrs O'Hare to take a look at her, could it?

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe if she has time after class.

Though that might make me look like a crappy student if I have to explain why I'm having my pet turtle checked. Maybe I just won't say why.

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

I dunno, I think it's a reasonable request, especially if you don't know exactly what she got up to while she was out of sight.

[alapai.insanejournal.com]

Glad you found her.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, it's kinda a relief.

[alapai.insanejournal.com]

Yes, I would imagine so. And this is why I don't have animals.

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

It's going to be a while before I think about getting a dog again. Even if they are more loyal than turtles, I think.

[alapai.insanejournal.com]

I don't blame you one bit. But I think turtle might crawl away a bit more so than say a dog. But you never know.

Holden
Sorry if you felt awkward the other day.

Anuhea

[blinkah.insanejournal.com]

Nah it wasn't like the kissing YOU thing, it was just like being stuck in the game at all that kinda caught me off guard. If that makes sense. I'm sorry if I made it awkward or anything.

Holden.

[alapai.insanejournal.com]

That makes sense. You didn't make it awkward. Admittedly, I've been curious. But yeah just wanted to check in.

[cecaelian]

That's wonderful news, duckling! Guess she wasn't vacationing in Mexico, after all.

[orangepip]

Maybe she wanted to return to the wild?
