Sure, they're good for coven rituals and the like. Do you have a ritual you need performed?

[geminids]

[...] ok so mostly hide n seek's how i taught my kid to track and i never tried that one but now i think i gotta.

[geminids]

what?? no???? that was me asking about you not for a favor

[trylla]

Oh dude capture the flag was my FAVORITE on the playground. I think we played it every day at recess in fourth grade?

I'm social. I'm the type of person that hangs on to people no matter how long it's been, so I've still got groups from childhood, wizarding society, and of course the university.

I've just distanced myself a little the past two years. I didn't want the pity, I just needed space [...] but I think in a few cases there's probably been a bit too much space.

[cursorily]

I wasn't -- nevermind. It doesn't matter, I don't have a coven anymore anyway.

[geminids]

and you still remember??

[trylla]

What do you mean? Remember what?

Broken

[geminids]

that rhy that something you wanna fix?

[geminids]

oops.

[geminids]

your fourth grade

[geminids]

ain't we weren't cowards neither. 🙂

[trylla]

Okay not like every minute of it or anything? But it's not like it's blotted out of my memory altogether. [...] It was kind of the first whole school year that was like legit stable for me idk, it was a good year.

[cursorily]

I was just offering. I didn't think you were fishing for a favor.

[geminids]

[...] ok well now that's sweet. happy for you.

[geminids]

no like "oops no coven" not sorry. that was generous of you.

Broken

[abracadavers]

I will. Most of them thought this sabbatical was a good idea, until they found out what I was doing with it.

The next time we're home, you can meet some of them.

Broken

[geminids]

then what's a sabbatical supposed to be like

[...] that's ok i ain't pushin for anything.

Broken

[abracadavers]

A break from teaching to do research or write essentially, without the pressures of work.

I know, but they're great, you'll like them. And the ones that stuck around Carmarthen are mostly married but always looking for an excuse for several pints and to talk shit about me.

Broken

[geminids]

you're playing hooky????

it ain't them i [...] that's fun
