004// i'm a little worried about your gravy level
It struck me, around the point where I was charming my quill to copy out the text with minor variations twenty times, that getting involved in a letter-writing campaign with the aid of magic might possibly be cheating. On the other hand, Muggles have computers. All's fair in love and politics, baby.

Speaking of which, if any of you wanted to spare five minutes from the stressful business of agonising over who or what you're going to wear to the ball - I know that's absolutely essential business - you could also get involved in petitioning the government for improvements to foreign aid distribution accountability such that we aren't funding, say, the brainwashing of child soldiers. Just a suggestion. If any of you lot are actually interested.

I have neither a date nor a dress for the ball, but frankly, I don't know how any of you find time to worry about social engagements. What with quidditch practice starting before I actually go to sleep, sixteen different pieces of classwork due yesterday and trying to actually compose a visual response to the Art Louvre trip that doesn't suck rancid donkey balls, I haven't even had time to even skim the editorial of the latest edition of Bitch magazine.

But hey, at least I'm not a child soldier.

Wait, wait. I thought the assignment was to make the visual response suck rancid donkey balls? Fuck my life.

Maybe I should have specified that the rancid donkey ball-sucking was the negative sort. It really is an inherently ambiguous phrase. Not to mention in certain circumstances an absolutely valid artistic response.

Oh, negative. I, for one, never stop until my artwork is dripping with rancid donkey ball-suckage. But in the good way.

And your work is so much more evocative for it! I wish I could achieve just a fraction of your high-quality positively nuanced rancid donkey ball-suckage. Especially right now, since all my Paris work just doesn't bear talking about, let alone witnessing.

In such a situation, I would take each failed attempt and turn them into a hodgepodge of nonsensical yet somehow cohesive pieces in a very large collage.

You say "a very large collage", I say, "my rubbish bin".



...Actually, maybe we're both onto something here.

Always remember: there's a reason some of the most profound modern art looks like a five year old got a little too happy with the paints.

There's a magnificently elegant logic to that that makes it impossible to refuse. Even if I haven't really been spending time thinking about it, what a great way to avoid even the slightest trouble!

Liar, your name is Violetta Smith, but I suspect the second part of that statement still stands.

I'm working on a new theory, Mar: sneaking up on people is the way to their social conscience. Thoughts?

I was thinking red dress robes might suit. What's this business about classwork?

Just some pesky little thing getting in the way of frantic pairing off in conformity with society's expectations, don't let it bother you. And I'm sure you'll look smashing in red, Capper. It'll really bring out your authority. Just ask Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin!
