"It ate the psychic's guts like slurping up spaghetti!" is the pinnacle of my entire career as an entertainer. Time to buckle down and prepare to be an accountant.

Also, I hope everyone who played in the swap game today is feeling better by now. You were all very good? brave.

Now that that the play's through, we can buckle down and practice for the talent show. Are you ready to try on your costume?

[Iliya Nia Kenzie]

Could I get your opinion on I'm working on a song for the t If you have some free time, could

[ESBs]

If we're going to practice DADA, do you think it would help if we worked on some Occlumency stuff too? I know it's real hard, but Casper is a good teacher, and it might help with [...] things.

[iliya]

There must be a way to be certain we are truly speaking to each other.

ESBs

[casperkim]

Apart from the journals?

ESBs

[ulixes]

Gonna make us scribble to each other across the table at lunch?

ESBs

[casperkim]

Be prepared to waste a lot of paper.

ESBs

[ulixes]

It's just paper. But if I get one of those quill calluses, I'll know who to blame.

ESBs

[casperkim]

You already have calluses from Quidditch.

ESBs

[ulixes]

But not from writing. I mean, shit, that's a horse of a different color.

ESBs

[iliya]

He is not wrong. Our journals are supposed to be unique to us, yes? Only we can use and read them. But [...] who knows. Maybe my journal cannot tell the difference between me and someone who copies my fingerprints.

ESBs

[ulixes]

Guess we can't know for certain. Not unless we [...] saw what happened after someone drank Polyjuice, or something like that.

[...] Shit, times like this that I wish I understood the system a little better.

ESBs

[iliya]

It is a bit too mysterious. An eccentric fugitive's invention.

Maybe we should spend less time writing notes to each other.

ESBs

[gonnabefamous]

An eccentric's invention that's now our best chance to make sure we're who we say we are.

ESBs

[casperkim]

At this point, it does seem to be the best tool we've got. I don't see any benefit to setting it aside.

ESBs

[iliya]

If you see me smile or write a smile, it is an imposter.

ESBs

[casperkim]

A simple but effective test.

ESBs

[iliya]

It also works for you.

ESBs

[ulixes]

God forbid the two of y'all admit to having fun. Don't you worry, I promise, if I see even one glimmer of sunshine, I'll disarm the monsters on the spot.

ESBs

[gonnabefamous]

What's my test then? No glitter?

ESBs

[iliya]

Mismatched accessories?

ESBs

[gonnabefamous]

That's a cheerful thought.

ESBs

[iliya]

Then I will be careful not to lose my journal. I do not like the idea of you talking to my doppelganger.

ESBs

[gonnabefamous]

You think I'm going to drag all your dark secrets out of your double? Maybe he'd tell us all the stuff you say in Bulgarian and make us cry.

ESBs

[iliya]

[.....] Not that.

You are my friends. I do not like that my face or voice might be used to betray any of you.

ESBs

[casperkim]

[...] We won't let that happen, Krum.

ESBs

[gonnabefamous]

Yeah. It's not a great feeling, getting mimicked.

ESBs

[iliya]

[...] No. It would not be.

[Cameron]
Are you still troubled by what happened?
