[Montrose+]

Alright team this is a big month for us. We're nearing the end of the regular season and the first Neep on the 31st.

Since at this point in this season, with only 3 blocs left, we have a very solid grasp on a good playoff seed, I’m going to turn our attention to starting strong with the Neep. We are not going easy on the regular season teams, but we are going to try and save some of our strength for hitting Portree hard right off the bat.

Which means the lineups for this month are subject to change and up in the air but I will tell you ahead of time some of my plans for them so a few of you are prepared. Please note these are tentative.

Tentative line up notes:
Chasers: I don Wigtown will be Jason, Roger, and Angus. Maddock, listen to Florrie and heal well. We still have a lot ahead we need you for. Unfortunately nothing much to give you lot right now other than the Wigtown lineup, it’s all up in the air.

Beaters: Lex and Georgi, you’re on Neep. But Kal, I’m playing you for both Wigtown and the Kestrels. You’re more than ready for both. Who's playing which match with you is still to be determined but one for each either way.

Keepers: Micah is leading us into the Neep so Ada you’ll be getting one of the two regular season matches. I’ll get back to you on which.

Seekers: Lennox, normally I’d rest you for the match the week before the Neep, you’re going to be absolutely vital there, but that match is against the Kestrels. And Lynch is the only one experienced and levelheaded enough to give you any kind of a challenge. So that’s not one I can rest you on, unfortunately we’ll need you to play both those matches. So Kenna, I’m giving you Wigtown. We’ll talk about their seekers in detail later.


[Montrose Staff]
Regarding having a pink team at the match:

I’m going to say again, it’s not mandatory, I want people to do it in the spirit of support and solidarity not because it’s mandated.

But I want to support this how we can. Roger had a mention of pink boots in Jason’s entry, that and rosettes might not be a bad idea? Opinions? Whatever we do will need to be a rush order though.

And Jason wants the magpie on his robes to be a neon pink, I’ve told him I’m very happy for him to have that screw any fines. But seeing as he won’t have time to fiddle around with designs...Mick? Should be a fun project for a change. Take the practice uniforms and experiment so that Jason has options to choose from.



[PRIVATE]
To Do list:
  • Follow up with Florrie - Maddock for the Kestrels match?
  • Speaking of Florrie: bday gift + dinner
  • Dinner at mum’s this week
  • Work out tentative lineups for the next 3 matches (Wigtown/Kestrels/Neep)
  • Line up considerations:
    • Maddock recovery time (out for Wigtown, ?Kestrels but if so then iffy on playing him for Neep)
    • Jason’s Broom Race
    • Need for starter rest
    • Captain or ViceCap needs to be in play for each match
    • Kestrels > Wigtown, unfortunate timing though
    • Neep lineup needs to be saved up where possible, but balanced with what’s reasonable to put reserves on
    • Lennox vs. Lynch needs to stay
    • Georgi/Lex: Which on wigtown, which on kestrels
    • Ada - Wigtown or Kestrels
    • Chasers - who the hell knows right now

  • Buckle down on Portree research
    • Roberts era Portree (focus on the prime years)
    • Old Ballycastle - Pepper (+possibly Okeke)
    • Dig up Wigtown matches - Okeke
    • Galbraith in case (no way they don’t play McCormack) - Cannons (this will be painful to go through) + Wanderers if there’s time
    • Listen to Parkinson recordings Gregor dug up - their giant hasn’t completely found his spot in the BIL style of play just yet, there’s more that can come from him

  • Celtics for Kai’s potential debut on the 15th
  • Attend Portree vs. Cats
  • Consider updating Potential Future Players list for offseason wants/needs
    • Revisit Georgi’s contract pending Peppard’s progress

  • Ideally keep the top seed for the postseason run (fuck the Bats)
  • Follow up on pink additions for the match (for players/staff)
  • Find some extra pink to wear or charm something pink for self

I thought that must be what you meant.

I know the smoke is terrible for you if you take it that way, but supposedly it's quite good for certain applications if you eat it. The problem is dosing it in edibles because of the onset time.

You might be my new favorite person.

I made a mean pot brownie in my intern days.

I've never tried it myself but I know it's a poor Healer who physics herself. Although this is apparently the most stressful time of year for administration and staff, especially for Montrose and Portree with the Neep coming up.

If the team medic doesn't object too strenuously, the team PR rep might be prevailed upon to revisit their historic and much coveted recipe. In the name of stress relief, of course.

I could be convinced as long as I'm sure the supply is quality.

A private tasting? Could be arranged.

Oh I didn't mean

I suppose I should check it out before I chance any of the players taking it, and Merlin knows some of us could stand to relax a little. I just don't know where you get it and how you check on that the way you do with a lot of our herbs here. Merc's wife is an herbologist so it's never any trouble finding out where to get something good. I don't know that cannabis is regular wizarding supply, though, even for Brazil.

If you're confident, though, we can test it sometime after Wigtown match.

It would behoove me not to reveal my sources, but will be more than happy to have the product tested by whatever means makes you most comfortable.

I'll try the product. If it comes from a Muggle-side source, I wouldn't know how to evaluate it anyroad.

Is cannabis illegal in America?

In most places, yes, though there's been a significant push for its legalization. It's kind of a hot-button topic.

It's a bit different in the magical community- we use cannabis in a few of our more inventive potions, but that's mostly for its practical, rather than recreational properties. Maybe the no-majs will catch up with us eventually.

It's illegal on the Muggle side here but we tend to ignore those laws, possibly because we're more separated as a community here. I know enough potioneering to imagine the kind of thing you mean, though I've never had cause to brew with cannabis as an ingredient.

Wizards and witches in Britain are very open to mood-altering spells and potions so the idea of something to help you relax that's herbal isn't going to shock anyone. It's just a matter of dosing correctly and making sure your ingredients are good quality, same as everything else.

If your brownies are as advertised, you may be my new favourite person. Isn't it nice when things work out that way?
