LORNA MACFECKINGFUSTY
!!!!!!

[Lennox]

You know my little stone house outside Salen? The one me and Elsa were going to move into ~~before I went to~~ ?

I'm renting it out to Gregor and his wee niece, and it could stand a bit of work done before the little girl comes back from Hogwarts at the end of term. Reckon you and I can gather the troops sometime soon and fix up the shed and batten down the windows and such? I'll pay ye all in brotherly love. How about it?

	Go for chuffed because you're flying against a Godric-damned legend, love. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Right, so terrified.~~ Let's just hope this legend has gotten a little tarnished in the cupboard these last six years. If anyone needs me, I'll be having a little listening party of my own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Want to go over some of her old matches tonight over pints? You're ready, Kal. You faced off against the Yaxleys and a Macmillan and held your own. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] kalyani 2017-11-08 09:45 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, please. Did I sound nervous? Obviously, you're right. If I can take you lot, then I can take anyone. [Lex] I told coach I wasn't easily intimidated, but that was before Portree decided to throw things topsy-turvy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] yaxlie 2017-11-08 09:50 pm UTC (link)
	Not nervous, understandably concerned. Exactly. Kal Breathe. We got this. I'll stay late with you every night if you want to run plays. Lorna was good. But that was six years ago. Most likely their coach is just trying to psych us out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hmm, well, it's kind of working. I was ready for MacDonald, but now we're three days out and suddenly need to study new play styles. But you're right. Being gone for two was enough of a struggle. Six years is an eternity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

MacDonald is better than Macfusty. You were ready for her, you'll be ready for Macfusty or whatever her name is now.

She's a lot like her brother. Powerful. But this isn't her team anymore and you can't win a match singlehanded. I've got recordings from when I played against her.

Not to mention, she went and had babies so she's probably not in top form. Besides, age isn't alway a benefit.

	The recordings will help. I think I'd feel better if I could just get a feel for her preferred tactics. She retired before I really started seriously studying that sort of thing. That's one point I'm not nervous about—we are in top form. I'm going to see our lovely medic this afternoon, but I'm not concerned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	KalLex yaxlie 2017-11-09 02:48 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, no worries about that. I mean, I played against her in my early years. She packed a wallop. But so did Macdonald. Excellent. We got this, kid. They won't know what hit them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	KalLex kalyani 2017-11-09 03:01 am UTC (link)
	Study hard, train hard, hit hard, yeah? So drinks and recordings. I can bring food? I promised Mum I'd drop by for long enough to say hello and get properly fed, if I could. She's making Aloo gobi. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	KalLex yaxlie 2017-11-09 03:30 am UTC (link)
	Basically. Food would be great. We can do it at mine and I'll provide the drinks. I invited the rest of the team as well. We can all have a brush up. But you and I get the couch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	KalLex kalyani 2017-11-09 03:39 am UTC (link)
	Good thing my mum always makes extra! See you after my check-up and dropping by my parents'. And thanks. I wouldn't feel nearly as confident if you weren't walking me through this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	KalLex yaxlie 2017-11-09 04:03 am UTC (link)
	Enough for the team or should I order more? Don't mention it. It's what I'm hear for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can't imagine there's been much time for flying with two kids to look after. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] kalyani 2017-11-09 03:27 am UTC (link)
	Probably not. But I would hate to base a strategy on "probably". (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] starplayer 2017-11-09 03:30 am UTC (link)
	I'm not suggesting we do, merely that we keep calm and carry on. Panicking is only going to make us worse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] kalyani 2017-11-09 03:33 am UTC (link)
	Nope, no panic here, Captain. Only a bit of shock and some careful deliberation on what to do next. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] starplayer 2017-11-09 03:36 am UTC (link)
	We train just as hard, and use the resources we have available to familiarize ourselves with her playing style. Still have any shock you need to get out of your system? Now's the best time to do it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] kalyani 2017-11-09 03:45 am UTC (link)
	Already planning to listen to some old matches with Lex, so got that covered. Training hard was never a question. Working on that part. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] starplayer 2017-11-09 03:52 am UTC (link)
	I heard! I'm joining, too. Want to refresh my memory in my old age, and all that. Well, I'm here if you need a sounding board. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] kalyani 2017-11-09 03:57 am UTC (link)
	Thanks. I'm sure there are things I'll want to run by you tonight, after our study session. Especially if any of the legend's tactics run in your direction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] starplayer 2017-11-09 04:00 am UTC (link)
	Absolutely. I promise I'll even make my notes legible. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Let me know if you need help with those grey hairs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] starplayer 2017-11-09 04:02 am UTC (link)
	Only if you promise to be gentle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Montrose players + staff] yaxlie 2017-11-09 04:04 am UTC (link)
	As gentle as any beater. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
