At what point have I lived in the wizarding world long enough to tell the lot of you that the ballpoint pen is nearly sixty years old and is not a technology to be afraid of? If you dislike the idea of brios, may I suggest fountain pens with refillable chambers have been in existence since the 1850s. Heck, even dip pens are better than quills. Less likely to get broken.

This is brought to you by the fact that I am pretty sure I've gone through half a dozen quills in the last two weeks.

I think I might have gone out on a date? Only I'm not sure if it was a date. But it kind of felt like a date, only we weren't the only ones who went out for a drink.

	Right? You can buy a ten pack down at the corner store for a couple of quid! I'm glad you can't see me right now, because I'm actually yelling at my journal. [Justin] I'll make sure there are tickets with your name on them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you think we can start handing out pink pens or something? Maybe people just don't realise how useful they are..... [Monte] Thanks, but don't they sort of ration those? I could probably buy my own. It's not a hardship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know the muggleborns would appreciate it, at least. Maybe you can start a new, revolutionizing trend! [Justin] I've never really had to check, but you might be right. ~~I don't exactly get a chance to invite a lot of people to see me play.~~ I don't exactly get a chance to invite a lot of people to see me play.

	I'm not exactly trendy. [Monte] Why don't you check, but I'll buy the tickets for the next game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't sell yourself short. You have time enough, I think. [Justin] Deal. It was great getting a pint with ~~everyone~~ you after the match. Would you want to maybe do it again some time? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Despite what people think, I'm not as big a hero as they make me out to be. [Monte] ~~Really?~~ I would. With just you? Or you and everyone else? I'd be happy either way, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	camerontroubles 2017-12-04 04:05 am UTC (link)
	It doesn't always take a hero to change the world. [Justin] I was hoping with just me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justifiability 2017-12-04 04:10 am UTC (link)
	~~Oh god~~ We're talking about changing the world now? [Monte] I would really like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	camerontroubles 2017-12-04 04:24 am UTC (link)
	Maybe just a piece of it. Start small. [Justin] When are you free? I was thinking dinner someplace in Diagon, unless you have some other ideas? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justifiability 2017-12-04 04:28 am UTC (link)
	Right small. I can do small things. [Monte] ~~I don't actually have a job so...~~ I'm free pretty much whenever. Diagon's nice, unless you'd rather go muggle? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	camerontroubles 2017-12-04 04:38 am UTC (link)
	Like pens. Let's start a revolution with pens. [Justin] Muggle is absolutely an option. I don't know the Falmouth area well enough yet to recommend anything though. Do you have a favourite place? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justifiability 2017-12-04 04:43 am UTC (link)
	I think that's where we're starting. Now I have to find a place that will customise gel pens for me. [Monte] I know Edinburgh and London mostly. We could just close our eyes, poke a place on a map and see what happens? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	camerontroubles 2017-12-04 04:52 am UTC (link)
	Muggle stationary store? Then we can charm it as needed. Look, I'm telling you, I really think you're on to something with this. [Justin] Adventurous and spontaneous. I like it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justifiability 2017-12-04 04:58 am UTC (link)
	Jason likes the idea too. So yeah, I think I'm going to do it. [Monte] My friends will tell you that's pretty rare. But food you really can't go wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	camerontroubles 2017-12-04 05:03 am UTC (link)
	Brilliant! Let me know if I can help at all. [Justin] I'm not exactly known for my spontaneity either, so maybe we can try it out together- even if it's just once. And, no, you can't really go wrong with food at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justifiability 2017-12-04 05:31 am UTC (link)
	I'm going to buy out all the gel pens in Edinburgh. [Monte] Falmouth then? Muggleside? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	camerontroubles 2017-12-04 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	Just in time for Christmas, too! I think you might give the shopkeeps a coronary. [Justin] Perfect. Friday night at 8? I can meet you at the Falcons' training area, and we can go from there, unless you'd like to Floo to mine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justifiability 2017-12-05 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Oh dear. That might be worrisome. [Monte] Sounds good. As long as it won't cause you any issues. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	camerontroubles 2017-12-06 01:04 am UTC (link)
	They'll be all right, I think. Maybe they'll have enough time to order more. I'm quite sure how the logistics of that sort of thing works. Never worked for or owned a shop. [Justin] If the team holds to usual form, it'll be just fine. I'll see you on Friday! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justifiability 2017-12-06 03:53 pm UTC (link)
	Neither have I. So it should be an interesting experiment. [Monte] ~~They don't care that it will be two blokes~~ Friday it is! (Reply to this) (Parent)
