I treated myself to the Catapults match on my final day of single-job freedom and now I may never forgive Fofana, but I suppose that's something we'll just all have to learn to live with.

[...] And does anyone have a spare litter box for a small cat? ~~Do litter boxes even have si~~ ~~I can't believe I'm allowing an animal to shite in my wa~~ I only need to borrow it for a week or so.

PORTREE PLAYERS [NO OTHER STAFF]

You're about to enter a [...] trying week. Aye, I'm aware that each of you is a professional, but that doesn't shield you from overexertion.
When you get home at night, sleep instead of party. Doze when you can.
Drink ~~as much water as you c~~ plenty of water. You have no excuse not to.
Don't drink alcohol (it's one week. You'll survive.)
Eat well — your body will need the fuel. I've ~~given a list o~~ asked the cooks to ensure there will be more smaller, nutritious meals and snacks for when you don't have the time for a complete meal, and MacFusty and I have arranged that there's always a hearty lunch waiting for you.
[#5 is added after Lorna's reply:]
Please don't die.
Beginning tomorrow I'll be picking up some evening shifts at St. Mungo's, but I'll still be at the clubhouse during office hours if you need anything, as well as attending the late practices. If you think you're ill or overextending yourself, or if you have any questions, please come speak with me. I'd prefer to help you avoid injury than experience it first-hand. This goes for the regular season as well.

PORTREE MANAGEMENT

Parkinson's been a model player as far as his healing but I'm not keen on the idea of him playing the Harpies on the 20th after his concussion. MacFusty and Roberts have the report; my recommendation is to bench him. If all goes well he'll be back in the air in time to train for the match against my the Catapults.

ALEC URQUART

I met the Bulgarian, no thanks to you.

Oh, and... 🎶 I know something you don't know... 🎶

AUGUSTUS PYE

The Thing came back the very next day.
The Thing came back, I hoped it was a goner,
But The Thing came back; it just wouldn't stay awaaa-aaaay.

"But Maggie," I hear you insist, "Just take it back to the shelter!"

I did.

JUSTIN FINCH-FLETCHLEY

The tribe has spoken. [...] Well, the gran has.

	I think Puppy might be! Maybe. He has the ears. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What was he doing at the time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ecoutezmoi 2018-02-01 07:50 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, but speaking as a self-confessed cat bloke, different breeds have different temperaments to begin with. Some are protective, which combined with a kneazle's intelligence can come out as aggression. Ours are part Persian, and Persians are divas, which makes them pretty manipulative when they've got the intelligence to back that up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Neither, in most cases. [ooc: spellotaped photo of Jessica and Dave] They're generally bundles of thick fur, if anything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
