14th Sortie

[diapason]

[And finally Pixy decides to do a dictated entry, and he sounds quite younger. Ten years younger, in fact. He can't quite wrap his head around it either. But he's sounding quite smug. Y'know. Like a usual Belkan.]

I can't help but wonder how that Ravenclaw party went. Seein' that it wasn't a victory party at all.

That Cup'll be ours soon enough. So long as that dragon doesn't decide it wants in on the game too.

[He still doesn't really know why he's into this bizarre game, but hey, at least it's a decent pasttime in the air.]


[Filtered to the Slytherin Quidditch Team]

Sounds like our next match is tomorrow. Care to meet at Hogsmeade later to discuss strategies? We can't lose to a group with a name like 'Hufflepuff'.

Speaking of, do they even still have a team in tact anymore?

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah, we had a party. We called it 'celebrating that we can win without cheating and we don't have pink hair, SO ... we're still the most awesome.'

It took me awhile to fit that on the banner, but I managed.

[diapason]

[He scoffs.] Remind me again how a guy like you got put into Ravenclaw?

[babyaliendaddy]

Because I am consistently the most sensible person here. Also, you water, me duck.

[diapason]

I thought that group was known for their intelligence and wit. I'm not seein' either one from you.

[babyaliendaddy]

Well, I'm smart enough to get you kinda riled up enough to respond to me, so that's something. I'm also smart enough to know that I'm not the smartest guy here.

As for my wit, c'mon. That banner thing was pretty funny.

[diapason]

[He scoffs.] You really think that's all it takes to rile someone up?

Someone must've cast a hex to prevent me from laughin' at lame jokes. If you can call it that.

[babyaliendaddy]

Are you sneering evilly you said that? I imagine you sneering evilly.

snakey snake filter

[wagers]

Not going to lie, I was watching the whole game and they managed to pull off a pretty big upset! I'm not about to underestimate a team that can recoil like that!

forever

[diapason]

And? That team just had luck goin' for them, that's all.

[unvarnished]

That one Beater is the one to watch out for. He nearly knocked half his own team out of the sky.

Filter forever

[diapason]

I don't understand how they even managed a victory with that guy. Guess I've got a primary target for tomorrow.

[unvarnished]

Pure dumb luck. Think one of them got smacked in the face with the Snitch and the referee called it.

[diapason]

That explains it. They won't get that lucky twice.

[unvarnished]

Definitely not. Vriska is a great Seeker.

[diapason]

You just make sure you keep 'em from scoring and we've got this one in the bag again.

[unvarnished]

[ugh, no, that's not how this team works. You guys are supposed to make sure they don't even come in scoring distance]

Sure, I'll do that. No problem.

[diapason]

[Relax, dude. Pixy's a professional at 'keep x away from y' sorties.]

Good. Assumin' you even have anything to do. They'll have a hard time getting around with me on their tails.

[unvarnished]

That's what I want to hear. [no, seriously, he'd be glad to do as little as possible]

[diapason]

[He'll give a quiet laugh.]

Hell, assuming I have anything to do. Their other Beater might do my job for me.

[unvarnished]

True. The guy's a disaster.

[diapason]

I'm amazed they even let him play. Don't they have an alternate they can fall back on?

[unvarnished]

Maybe he knocked out all the alternates with Bludgers.

Slytherins

[little_shit]

I'm game.

I wouldn't underestimate them, though. Ragtag team or not they still beat Gryffindor which is no mean feat.

Slytherins forever

[diapason]

I already said it, all it was was luck. They can't get that lucky twice, not with that 'team' of theirs.

[little_shit]

Let's hope not. [He frowns] The cup belongs to us.

[diapason]

And we'll just have to display that same skill that we did at the Ravenclaw game. It's not gonna be that hard.

[lara_the_explorer]

I don't know if they even celebrated, but they sure are juvenile enough to change our hair colors.

[Not that she wasn't rocking the pink hair]

[diapason]

[It got her too? She wasn't even affiliated with the Quidditch team. How odd.]

Yeah, well, they needed to find some way to try and ruffle our feathers. Didn't get them anywhere, I'd say.

[lara_the_explorer]

Yeah, I thought the Ravenclaws are supposed to be mature.

[diapason]

We're in a school, kid. 'Intelligence' doesn't mean 'maturity', you know.
