So. Anyone else get "pranked" by a history buff friend of theirs? That's how one of my guardians described it when I showed him.

Nothing wrong with that.

[hardtoignore]

I should hope not!

Cheddar is either going to love the kittens, or he's going to be super jealous of me.

[darkforcerising]

You know, I haven't paid them a visit yet. Maybe I should finally do that.

[hardtoignore]

Make sure to bring back all you hear from the girls. I'm DYING for some gossip!

[darkforcerising]

Depends on what arena your fighting in, I think.

[hardtoignore]

I mean, fair. Academic bowl could be a manslaughter situation.

[traceofeffort]

Wait, did Lord Asshole visit you too? I thought for sure he was just mad at me for. Something. I don't like this. Not one bit.

...but yeah, you're right. I don't think there's any other way. I'm worried, but I guess I'll just have to work through it and hover as much as I can, yeah?

[hardtoignore]

Lisa! Language! But I get the sentiment. He's definitely the meanest adult I've run into in a while.

I think as long as we have some plausible deniability then things will be, well, not okay but not as bad as it could be.

Thank god he didn't visit us earlier this month, right? I don't think I lied to him but he was definitely making me doubt myself during our talk.

[traceofeffort]

Oh, pardon me, sir, I slipped. But yeah, he gives me the creeps. And don't act like we can deny anything we do. I tried that, and I haven't even really DONE anything. Didn't do a thing, he just kinda rolled right over me and kept poking and prodding, waiting for something useful to shake loose. I felt like I needed a long shower after that. I kind of still do, honestly?

I'd thank anyone that's listening for him to just never visit ever, really.

[neverjedi]

I don't think I have any enemies at all.

[hardtoignore]

Interrogations are meant to make you feel guilty, whether you did anything wrong or not. It's not easy keeping them from getting into your head when you get cornered.

Yeah, I never want to see him again either if I can help it.

[hardtoignore]

Isn't that what we all think? And then one day you get a carton of milk thrown at the back of your head at lunchtime because someone thinks you looked at them weird.

[neverjedi]

Or get dye in your shampoo in the locker-room.

Here's hoping if I have enemies now they stick to that level of sophmoric.

[darkforcerising]

Exactly. Any lit not portrayed in recent films and I'd be screwed.

[hardtoignore]

Would be nice if everyone kept their beefs on the medium side, yeah.

Welp. I have a feeling even if we don't do anything at this point, we'll still get blamed for whatever happens. Heavens only knows what that could be, too, given our track record so far.

[hardtoignore]

I think I'd only be good at the pop culture questions. Maybe some stuff about art history but it heavily depends on the artist.

[bearshermark]

I'm betting he gets jealous of your attention.

[hardtoignore]

Yeah. He's basically just a big, chubby baby.

Well, if I ever do get to take care of kittens I'll just have to shower him with extra love and affection.

[traceofeffort]

I already have other-me in my head, I don't need anyone ELSE, thank you! I get you, though. I know it's not something I could have really helped, but it's still dumb.

[hardtoignore]

Brains are dumb. We should boycott them until they stop being dumb.

[darkforcerising]

Ya, I'd be good there, too. Let's hope we are never thrown into a life or death situation where we have to answer questions about subjects we don't know about.

[traceofeffort]

I don't know if I could handle a picket line for that long, because I don't think it's coming. We'll just... send a strongly worded letter, maybe. That'll probably work about as well.

[neverjedi]

That we'll be 'blamed' is an interesting though. I suppose if the Bureau knows how little they're trusted - but so far most of the issues seem to come from them.

[hardtoignore]

For reals.

Anywho, I kind of doubt the person who pranked me is all that interested in our ability to hit buzzers and answer random questions.

[hardtoignore]

I was visited recently by that Mr Martin guy. He made it pretty clear that he didn't care for me, or trust me, but he wanted to know about anti-Bureau activity. I pretty much told him I didn't know anything, which is true but he still gave the impression he blamed me somewhat for it. Freaked me out, too.
