anything 4 u

[doggedly]

youd think so but nah
merlin but you really give up easily dont you

[technologist]

[ Merlin... ]

No need to look desperate on the network

[ he'll just bother Snape about it in person tbh. ]

Who is this?

[doggedly]

thats the spirit
less desperation is always good

& im someone who was unfortunately in school with him
try to imagine that

[technologist]

You're another wizard.

[ GOTTA CATCH EM ALL. And you might be barking up the wrong tree with trash talk of studious Snape, js. Dog joke accidental but I'm ok with it. ]

He seems like he'd be a very good student.

[doggedly]

[you know i love dog jokes + sadly this could also be an ic response]

does he really
what makes you say that

[technologist]

[ how to put this nicely ]

He's very intelligent. And focused.
Did you ever study necromancy? Academically.

[doggedly]

hes a lot of things


are you asking that because hes told you he has

[technologist]

Actually I'm asking because he promptly excused himself from the conversation when asked. Slightly conspicuous, if you ask me.

[doggedly]

now do you mean he excused himself by abruptly not answering any longer or he really excused himself
never mind i'll bet i can guess which

but really conspicuous is one word for it
hilarious is another

[technologist]

How's that hilarious

And I'll bet you'd guess right.

[ Focused and intelligent, yes. Polite, no. ]

[doggedly]

bit of an inside joke

[also known as, Snape is a former Death Eater txt it]

i mean i'll tell you but it might be more fun to ask him what his dark arts experience is

[technologist]

[ good joke ]

Did you miss the part where I've already tried that

[ MANY TIMES. ]

Are the two of you mates?

[doggedly]

[off screen vomiting at the implication mates r u serious (no he is Sirius)]

cant even joke about that
no we are not


you do know what necromancy actually is meant to be right
imagine studying 'raising dead people to life' academically
you cant and neither can i really cos its not academic

[technologist]

[ yw ]

Well it's not as though nuclear technology's something you take lightly but we still study it, don't we. Isn't studying magic the entire point of having a school for wizards

[doggedly]

right but one of the many chief differences between your nuclear technology [whatever that is] and magic
besides that its not technology

is that your nuclear technology is likely an actual studyiable thing
dont know why you would want to study it but you can
and necromancy as youre probably thinking of it
isnt
even at a school for wizards
world is full of funny little differences & misunderstandigns like that

there are spells &c that might pass for necromancy but then youre getting into a lovely bit of the dark arts there

mmmmmmm edits

[technologist]

"Dark arts", that's a bit dramatic, isn't it?
How many different types of magic are there

i thought that subject line meant you had edited something then i remembered it was me

[doggedly]

[er genuinely confused here]

how is it dramatic

it's you. you have become edits

[technologist]

Oh come on
Dark Arts
That's like calling the nuke the Destroyer of Worlds or nuclear physics Apocalyptic Studies

turns to dust

[doggedly]

yeah except its not some idiotic nickname is it
its what it is
dark arts


unless youve got a better suggestion

puts u back together

[technologist]

[ well. ]

No.
Not really

Doesn't make it any less dramatic.

bless u my child

[doggedly]

no no youre absolutely right i suppose we ought to think of something properly lighthearted
tell you what mate you think of a few and we'll seriously consider them
i mean its only the dark arts its not as if its a whole load of evil shit
killing curses, blood magic, et al
give us something cute

better yet suggest it to old sniv

[technologist]

[ wow now it's like super duper dramatic gj bro ]

Killing curses and blood magic
Seriously

[ Like necromancy at least sounds latin, that's got respectability. ]

But yeah, definitely, I'll go ahead and suggest something cute to your mate Sniv, I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers

[ don't let the sarcasm dripping from this text get on your foot ok ]

[doggedly]

please do
specifically mention the cruciatius curse
i cant stress that enough


cheers :)
xoxoxo


[ok i'm not anti muggle but seriously muggles man]

[technologist]

[ yeah ok but wizards

or maybe just bullies, guess who has a slightly personal reaction to people who use petty nicknames on their brainy peers: this nerd

but let's be friends this was fun xoxo ]
