Dear magical journal thing that I'm still not convinced isn't completely evil,

Have been stuck in close quarters with speccy git Potter for far longer than I'm used to — thus far I've managed not to hex him, at least. I suspect the urge won't be kept at bay for much longer.

The sun decided not to rise this morning — totally normal, that. Not worrying at all.

THERE ISN'T A PROPER LOO ON THIS BLOODY SHIP, or shower, or anything else — cleaning charms can only go so far!! My hair is hideous.

In conclusion: not dead yet.

Somehow.

You've got open water all around you, just go off the back of the boat.

[There is so much she could say. Instead, there's a resigned sigh and, in her best Adult Voice.]

All civilized men are capable of restraining such base urges. Beyond civility, we are in far too closed quarters for bloodshed.

Hexing one of your crew mates wouldn't seem like the sensible thing to do.

Not that throwing hexes is a good thing in any circumstances, except if you're being attacked. Did someone try to attack you?

[Because then it could be her duty to help that boy.]

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

Do you any idea how plebeian that is?

...Though, I have been. There really aren't many other options.

voice

[dragonbadfaith]

I didn't say anything about bloodshed, I'm not barbaric.

voice

[happilyevermore]

Or...hexing.

[Which probably involves sacrificing a cat or something]

Surely there is nothing that cannot be best dealt with in words between you.

Oh, he'd be fine. I probably shouldn't be the one responsible for severely damaging the Boy Who Lived, I'd be lynched back home.

...But no, I've not been attacked.

Who gives a damn? Not like anyone here really cares where you do your business, as long as it's off the ship.

The Boy Who Lived?

Ah. That's good. Otherwise I would have suggested looking for another ship.

voice

[dragonbadfaith]

Not likely, we don't do words very well.

If he jumped off the ship for a few days, that might help!

voice

[happilyevermore]

I doubt your difference can be so very great as to call for such a dramatic action.

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

And it's not as though I really care what anyone else really cares about. I just have standards.

Stupid, right? You survive one little Dark Lord attack when you're five minutes old and suddenly you're this big hero.

I wouldn't give them the satisfaction.

voice

[dragonbadfaith]

It's exactly that great.

Also, I would find it amusing.

voice

[happilyevermore]

In such case, pray tell me of the irreconcilable differences which have divided our fine crew against itself.

Re: [voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

Why, exactly? Germ-phobic? Lay down a doily or something.

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

Because I wasn't raised as some uncouth ruffian. My mother would be appalled if she could see me now.

voice

[dragonbadfaith]

Oh, we were divided before joining this crew. It's a long story, really, but basically he's always been a bit of a tosser. We don't really get on.

Re: [voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

Says the man who just got done sayin' he didn't care about what others thought.

[yatteyanyo]

As inclined as I am to agree with your resentment, there's nothing to be gained from such whining. We're all in this sordid affair together, so you may as well stop acting like a brat and grow up a little.

He survived to an attack as a baby you mean? How? I'm guessing he must be a magical user as yourself but still... a baby defeated a powerful evil being sounds difficult to believe. [Yes, she doesn't know about the Dark Lord, but 'evil being' seems a safe bet.]

What about your own satisfaction? Isn't that more important?

[dragonbadfaith]

I'm merely keeping track of things for my own benefit in my journal, it's hardly my fault the evil spirits within have seen fit to spread it around to everyone who has one of these things.

In any case, I don't recall forcing you to read it.

[voice]

[dragonbadfaith]

Please, my mother hardly counts as "others". But fine, if I must be specific, I don't like not having a bathroom because I detest being filthy all the time. It's a personal preference!

Re: [voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

I hate to break it to you, but most bathrooms are cesspools of microscopic particles.

voice

[happilyevermore]

[She doesn't mean to laugh- well, okay. Maybe a little. Even if it's half exasperation.]

A very minor concern in the grand scheme of things.
