h o n e s t . mistake

[Wendy Palmer]

Hi. Pardon me if I sound like a huge bitch, but you've been using my ink all class for the notes. See, yours is over on the other side of the desk on top of your books. I'm left-handed, that's why my ink looks like it's on your side. But it's not. Normally I wouldn't mind sharing, but this is my last bottle, it's almost empty, and we don't go to Hogsmeade for a while yet. So. Yeah.

OPEN

[Indigo Grace]

Well, who am I to judge whether or not you're a bitch. As for the subject at hand, I'm already out of ink so.....

[Wendy Palmer]

I would have at least appreciated it if you asked first. In any case, don't make too many mistakes. This one little bottle has to last me till Hogsmeade.

[Indigo Grace]

Yes, but in my experience asking always leads to "No". Then I have to take things from people knowing they don't want me to, and then a professor sits me down and says that I'm "stealing", and then I have to find a way to give it back, and then I have to hate them for the rest of eternity, and it all gets very messy. This is easier.

Just for that, I'm not going to make any. Not that I would have anyway.

If it's that much trouble I will get you a new bottle by the end of the day, or fairly new at least. Do you prefer regular black ink or something else?

[Wendy Palmer]

Do you always have a long-winded answer for everything Fine.

I appreciate that.

Don't bother with it. I can get my own.

[Indigo Grace]

What's wrong with you? You're usually so......oh what's the word? Chipper. Did someone call you a ginger or what?

I hope you realize we're using all your ink.

Oh look, magic! Here's your new ink bottle you ordered, as promised.

[Wendy Palmer]

I could ask you the same. You're usually so... sullen. Did someone you hate get stuck in a Vanishing Cabinet?

Hang on, if you had that ink all along, why didn't... never mind.

[Indigo Grace]

Please, as though I only ever had one mood. No, but if you know where to find one of those I would so like to borrow it.

Who said I had it all along?

[Wendy Palmer]

Heard a rumour there's one floating around Hogwarts somewhere, but I've no idea where.

Well, I just don't see why you wouldn't've used it in the first place if... bugger it. Did you have it or didn't you?

[Indigo Grace]

It will likely show up at the most inopportune time. Perhaps when it's found we could lock Peeves in it.

Of course I didn't have it, if I did, why would I use yours? You're awfully strange.

[Wendy Palmer]

Most likely.

Right, I'm the strange one.

[Indigo Grace]

Don't tell me you haven't ever thought who you would put into that closet if you could do so without ever getting caught.

Yes, you're the strange one and I'm the mean one and Alice is the goofy one and we all fit into our perfect little boxes.

Interesting turn of events. Devon Globshammer is insisting that I ask you if he could borrow some of your ink. It appears that he lost his. He really ought to pay closer attention to his personal items.

[Wendy Palmer]

I can think of a few names.

I guess so.

... Hang on, did you steal his ink? Give it back That's so Jesus You know what, whatever. He wasn't watching it close enough. His loss.

[Indigo Grace]

This is one of those rare moments where I say we team together and eventually find this mysterious vanishing cabinet.

Clearly he didn't want it and....waste not, want not.

[Wendy Palmer]

I suppose we can if you want to. Truth be told, I'm not all that interested.

I guess. Thanks for the ink anyway.
