Ridgeway Resort - Network Comm

[Isabella Weasley]

I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things to you. I hope you accept my apology.

[The Malfoys]

I'm sorry for the things I did. I didn't have the right to do that.

[Damon]

I'm sorry for the way I behaved towards you. I finally realized that you are not that bad.

Not working makes the days go by slower and slower and slower. I've taken up people watching just to kill the boredom. I tried drawing them for a day or so, but then I realized I have no artistic talent. Go figure. Makes me miss the dragons. A lot of stuff makes me miss the dragons, actually. Like the fact that there's one here, but it isn't anything like my dragons. I started writing, which is probably the only reason I'm being so prolific at the moment, because when am I ever this chatty? I kind of miss the Ministry, too. Things here are always weird, but nothing I have leave to investigate. I'm tired of waiting on people who think my family makes for great reading, tired of missing home, tired of being stuck in impossible situations. I'm tired of feeling relaxed, actually. How stupid is that? I miss home. And my siblings. And my mom not being all light-headed and wonky. And Dom having good judge of character. And Vic not being a bint. And Teddy sticking up for me. What's that thing muggles say about idle hands? Mum used to say it to me all the time and now I can't remember.

Not working makes me bored. And poor. I need my siblings here, at least there was never a dull moment with them around. And daddy. He'd be a great help right about now. Merlin, I'd even take Aunt Fleur at this point! All this rubbish going on has nothing to do with me and I feel useless and frustrated. I need a hobby.

[private to Teddy & Vic]
Am I the only one that has a problem with Dom's current situation? Look, I understand Sirius was falsely imprisoned and died fighting the good fight. Good for him. That was later on. The idea of that jerk raising a child with Dom frustrates me in a way I've never felt. You know I don't get involved like this, I keep my big mouth shut most of the time, maybe too much. Look at what I let Willow and Roxy do most of the time, and get away with. But he is immature and cruel, and Dom is too sweet for her own good. I just wish she could see him for what he really is. But if I say something to her, she's going to get defensive and hate me. So maybe one of you should bring it up to her? This would probably be easier with Lou around.

[private to Uncle Bill]
How's mum?

This place gets worse by the minute.

[private to Vic & Teddy]
Am I the only one who sees something wrong with a guy who will torture his enemies, no matter what they happened to do to his friends?

[private to Petersen]
You can just send me home now. I'm not working for you if that's the kind of treatment you advocate.

Guest activities seem to be slowing down lately.

Of course it seems like employees are picking up the slack.

[private to Teddy]
You've been quiet. Things okay with Vic. She's different since she's been back. Everyone's kind of different. Mum's even more jumpy. I tried to talk to her. It didn't go so well. I think I'm just going to crawl back into work and disappear, it was easier that way.

((Dom and Lily aren't listed because Sirius said he'd take care of getting them involved. And I left Regulus and Cissa out because she doesn't really know them and they're Siri's family. If I missed anyone else, let me know.))

[private to Teddy]
I can't talk to her like that! I know it's her and she's going to melt into full blown panic mode the second she knows what's happening! You know how she's gets. I don't know what to do! And why is she yelling at Uncle Bill? Why is she always yelling at Uncle Bill? Teddy, I can't talk to her. She's going to freak out. She's going to freak out in a major way. Like major major way. There is going to be a large amount of freaking and only about half of it from me. What do we do?!

Is there a reason that I can't find my sister or her stuff anywhere?

Petersen? Teddy? Izzy? Anyone??

I hate this place.

edit: Alright, so who's DS?

What if, as Activities Coordinator, I decided to set up an employee dinner once every couple weeks? You guys think that would be a good idea? I mean, if we're stuck here, we should at least get to know each other. And, you know, share information if anyone has any ideas how to get the sodding hell out of here. But mostly to get to know each other.

[private to Wyatt]
Speaking of dinner, I saw your mum is here and doesn't know you and that can't really be easy, is it, and I was thinking maybe we could have dinner or something if you wanted to talk about it, or not talk about it but just have moral support or something?

[private to Vic & Dom & Teddy]
What exactly is the definition of a date, just so I'm not making a complete fool of myself I'm clear. You know... in case it ever comes up.

Can't say I'm a fan of the spiders but the enthusiasm is admirable.

Oh I think I finally got the Teddy smell out of my room! Although now it smells like spilled potion, but at least it was a good potion. And it's not like it smells worse than the Teddy smell... whatever that was. (And no, Teddy, I don't want to know, so don't try to tell me.)

And, umm, if anyone sees a pair of blue trainers anywhere... I seem to have lost my shoes. Again. It'd be nice to not be wearing sandals or heels everywhere. My feet get sore without my trainers and I kind of miss them.

Are there any other witches and wizards there? And can someone brew veritaserum?

Maybe it's just because I come from a family who loves pranks, and I know that Peterson guy told me that he pulled me here to work or whatever, but I have a lot of trouble believing that this isn't a big elaborate prank. I swear if James is in any way behind this I will kick his arse. He should know by now that all Potter family pranks go through me.

Oh and there's a Harpies game tonight. How exactly are we supposed to win if I'm not there?

Am I wrong to feel like a doormat? I mean come on, every time I turn around I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I can't win, for trying, I can't win for not trying. Everything I say is wrong.

Sometimes I really, really hate this place.

I love being in the suite with Teddy!

Dom! Izzy! You have to take a bath in my bathroom! This muggle contraption is amazing! I think it's called a... Jacuzzi tub?

Some of these guests do the stupidest things. Then they end up getting hurt, and coming to me. I wish I could say no sometimes. They've gotten a little too used to magical healing.

It doesn't help that the girls who come in with small cuts are endlessly throwing themselves at me........ Samantha...

Not going to make that mistake again

I feel like my job is a waste of time. Not that I don't think it needs done, it does, just by someone more qualified. I feel like I'm wasting my abilities. I don't want to be stuck here. I am over-qualified for the position they put me in. I'm big on research and exploration and experimenting. I like to find a problem and fix it. I like to figure out things that no one else understands. Deciding who needs what space when for which activity is making terrible use of my skills. Writing out schedules and planning events is insulting. I don't want to be here, and threatening me into a job I dislike (no matter how veiled the threat) doesn't sit well with me. I just thought I'd put that out there.

Teddy, Vic, please tell me you're moved so that I can have one of your rooms already. At the very least they approved that for me.

I think I may have opened the wrong door.

Hey, I'd really like to be rooming with my cousins, please? Is there anyway to make that happen?
