ten; YEAH WHAT

[onlyapparate]

Goodness, I keep losing my journal. I believe it was in the kitchens? Whatever was it doing there? [ nervous scrawl. ]

How is everyone doing? I know it's been a while since the new term started, but everyone's been catching up in class, right? If you have any trouble, don't forget that I'm available in my office after class.

As for those transformations... I hope everyone's alright? I didn't exactly enjoy the experience. Being that small was extremely inconvenient.

((ooc; Thobari was a Mudkip. so I herd you liek him.))

*he seems slightly uncomfortable*

Hmm.. yes.. you don't want any kind of dependency... the ones of a narcotic nature can be particularly difficult to break...

Yes, it's definitely something I looked into, but for a long term case like mine, it isn't worth it.

It's definitely inexplicable. Either way, Yukimi isn't really in any state to be messing around anymore; he was badly wounded in the attack last month, so hopefully he'll learn to take life more seriously from now on. It's one of the few good things to come from that whole mess...

Hmm yes, I'm inclined to agree, unless you're put on some form of low dosage that you take daily...

I do have an advanced degree in Potions, so if you ever need assistance...

It's fine, it's fine. Don't worry about it, if I take something for it, I'll never get over my phobia.

I'm hoping he can make the best of this terrible situation... We'll see, I suppose. He's stubborn. If we point out that he's getting better, he'll just deny it and try something immature again.

True, usually the only way to truly get over a phobia is to face it head on and realize that the fear is irrational.

B-but... Transportation is dangerous.

Technically, we share the same position, but he is my senior, so usually what he says, goes. And besides, he doesn't have much else? It's a bit hard to make friends when you're so terse.

Well since you're a wizard, you don't really use cars, nor airplanes, so that leaves transportation like trains and the Knight Bus. You run only about a 2% chance of dying in an accident of that nature. Plus if you take safety precautinous like wearing a seatbelt, that helps increase your odds of survival.

I'm not trying to patronize your phobia though, Thobari. Everyone has them, and you have a legitimate reason for having this one. Stick to apparating. The worst thing you can do there is splinch yourself.

[ leaves a rather large inkblot, trying to decide how to answer that. ]

I've only splinched myself twice, and you know it. [ yeah, he might as well not have scratched it out in the first place ]

[numbersnfigures.livejournal.com]

And that was when you were a teenager... many teenagers splinch themselves.

I've maintained an excellent record since then, too.
