You played me, and I fell for it. Even after you told me how you were. I can't exactly blame you for that, but it did tick me off.

[When you're stupid and have struggles with a) being tricked, and b) perceived friend betrayal.]

we both know caleb deserves this

Well, maybe we can back up a little, because it was not my intention to mislead you. I don't think I realized we'd made an agreement for me to buy the rest from you?

I'll admit I did intend that. I bought the cocoon because it was all I could afford this week, and then intended next week to spend the extra to buy from you. But Beauregard leant me two of hers, and I could afford his price after all but not yours.

She was shopping around for you. She came to talk to me about prices.

Sure, but she was going to buy something for herself, until she couldn't afford it. I was going to buy a spell I could afford, perhaps the fire bolt, but we spoke and I decided to save for the polymorph. Less lethal, more useful.

Luke, you can hear any of my conversations if you choose to. Maybe you don't choose to, but it would be a pretty bad secret plan to trick you. I just didn't want to wait a week rather than have protection on a Thursday once I knew I could.

But I'll make it up to you. Maybe I see if Mollymauk will buy something from you this week.

Are you really that worried about making me mad?

I can hear and read your conversations, but I don't like to do it more than I have to.

You don't have to do that. I want people to buy from me to help my dorm, not because they were told to do it. I won't shut you out. I was just being childish.

You weren't.

I don't like the idea that you think I tricked you. I have been that type, but I'm not trying to be. And I think you seem like a decent person. I like your dorm.

I was. I can admit that. You don't owe me an apology for buying what you want for what you can get it.

I don't know if the prize means anything to you, or not. Just remember, you might be getting something you want for less, but you're potentially helping another dorm get closer to the goal we all have.

I admit I am motivated my preventing myself from being murdered far more than anything else.

And I care about people in the other dorms, too. So I do not know if it matters to me who wins, but I liked your idea of what to use it for.

It's just a reminder. I can't stop you from doing what you want.

Those choices are yours.

Alright.

. . . Do you know anymore, about what happened this time? Why the expulsion hurt a person we didn't vote for?

[personal profile] darksubverted 2021-06-21 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I could give a hundred speculations, but it wouldn't mean anything.

Maybe it had something to do with the voted being innocent. It could have been coincidence.
katzepaw: (grave dirt)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-06-22 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Is there any way to avoid having certain people picked for these expulsions? I understand it is likely out of your hands, and you wouldn't have wanted this. But she was very young.

I don't know what the formal code is. I've never seen it. But I don't think so.

If it isn't randomized, I don't know how it's done. Sorry, Caleb.

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-06-22 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
No need to apologize. I didn't think it was within your control.

It's frustrating not being able to help you.
katzepaw: (pebble)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2021-06-22 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's something we can both try to work on learning more about.

Okay, I'm willing. I'll see what I can find.
