Have we got a rumour of our own?

How exciting.

[riseheliacal]

well that too
when i'm not being married off to remus

but that my knob is —
you get the idea

[lancifolium]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooh

oh.

[riseheliacal]

yeah

sorry about that

lol she's gonna die now

[lancifolium]

Well. That's very nice for you?

Poor Lily ^_^

[riseheliacal]

honestly i can't keep straight which rumours anyone else has started about me
from those i've started about me

growing up in the house (gag) of black (blech), it's cathartic to have fun with publicity

she's a very tired girl

[lancifolium]

I'm guessing those are the ones that feature your knob and eloping with Remus.

Now that is something I couldn't imagine. My sister's dreadful but not like what you've made your family sound like.

Re: she's a very tired girl

[riseheliacal]

good
very glad you don't have the same experience
though possibly you'd've navigated it better than i
still, i take great comfort and satisfaction in my friends having pleasant(er) families

and of course payoff for me: they know the nicer possibilities and can teach me
re: this 'found family' thing

p.s. nope those rumours are pretty much the ones that don't need my help
i'm the one trying to advance my prowess as an inventor

[lancifolium]

On that note, we suspend your knob as a topic of conversation pending any future policy changes.

This found family thing, as you put it, is a really good thing.

Hm, if you want to fan scandalous flames I'll give you one of my gloves and you can return it to me later, in public and look smarmy while you do?

[riseheliacal]

knob so suspended.

(i'm sorry that was obligatory. last one.)

yes, i've discovered i'm quite an enthusiast
a perfect counter to the feeling of choicelessness in blood relations

^_^ i appreciate the offer, but i actually have that same scenario pending with rakepick* and mustn't cross gingers

more sincerely, i enjoy playing silly buggers with my own reputation; i don't wish to muck about with yours. not that i think you'd be harmed by anything i could say, you're (rightly) more trusted than i, but i still wouldn't

[lancifolium]

It's an especially defeating feeling when it's your blood relations. Not that Petunia's quite the same issue.

Oh Rakepick's quite formidable. Can't blame you.

[riseheliacal]

thank you for understanding
technically it's not a glove, it's— well, i'd best not say

may i ask what is the situation with petunia? if our mutual friends know, they've chosen not to repeat confidences (again, quite rightly)

[lancifolium]

There's no situation. She thinks magic is weird, and everyone who can use it a freak.

[riseheliacal]

wow - perfect inverse of my family's issues
which is ironic 'cause they're thinking more similarly than not

i'm sorry you have that between you

[lancifolium]

Yes. Maybe one day she'll stop being angry at me for something I couldn't help.

[riseheliacal]

yeah.

i hope she does.


i don't know how much you know, but you might want to talk to remus about such things too. he has some applicable experience.

[lancifolium]

Such a cheerful conversation I almost miss your knob!

I'm not sure I speak with Remus often enough for that not to be incredibly awkward. It's alright, I know there isn't anything wrong with me.

[riseheliacal]

he's rather good at soothing awkwardness, but that's fair
(unlike me who mercilessly exploits it)

oh, it's always here and ready to be the center of attention

[lancifolium]

I doubt he could soothe my awkwardness. It's been brewing a while.

Mind no one trips.

[riseheliacal]

no pressure, but trust me, he's gifted

... aaaand game point : Evans

[lancifolium]

*The Red Menace, glorious and terrible.

[riseheliacal]

a;slkj;k

yes, I am corrected X-D

[lancifolium]

**Xenith of righteousness, loveliest of all terrors.

[riseheliacal]

if the ghoul studies don't work out, you'd be an amazing publicist
or ode-composer

[lancifolium]

Without someone distracting me I could do both. See how this works? It's a perfect plan.
