A POX ON CIRCE'S HOUSE.

[Justin]

A yacht?

Really?

And where did that picture come from?

And why wasn't I there too?

Aureliana

Congratulations on escaping Montrose. I hope this gives you more time to focus on your family and your interests. Thank you for stepping in when Mother asked.

my socks of the month have chimeras on them and i hope my pants don't catch on fire.

TERRY BOOT:

guess what i bought at lunch.

( Memo from Montrose Magpies Public Relations )

(Please feel free to use this post as an IC/OOC, or we can treat it like a journal if your staff member/team player prefers the written medium.)

To all the “Pink” & Uplift Supporters:

Thank you to everyone who showed up at the Kenmare match. It was refreshing to see such a presence in stands. Rest assured we plan to keep this momentum going.

We are here. And we are not going away.

[WARD to MONTROSE STAFF & PLAYERS]

In taking a cue from Kenmare presence at their match, I would like to formally request that Montrose considers a uniform alteration as a statement of unity. After the Falmouth incident, we cannot afford to be silent.

As you know, I have been at the forefront of this movement. What I am asking for now is for Montrose to publicly show unity and support for those with muggle heritage and their loved ones.

Please stand with me. Let us all come out against Wigtown in black, white, and pink.

[//WARD to MONTROSE]

[WARD to COACH McG & SHONA]

And as I ask you to stand with me, I also realize that Maddock’s injury was unexpected. Although I had requested to be rested the week before the Annual Broom Race, please have no doubt that Montrose comes first.

I am fully prepared to start against Wigtown. I am ready to change, and even cancel, my Annual Broom Race plans. Please just keep me updated.

[//WARD to COACH McG & SHONA]

Who: Lex and Hamish
What: Flying around
When: Thursday evening. 1st March 2000.
Where: Exmoor Pitch/National Park
Warnings: some sort of not quite flirting & awkwardness

( So, who would my beloved Hamish have married? )

The Cannons are playing the Wasps this weekend and I got a good feeling about Chudley's chances. It's gotta be their time sometime, right?

[Study Group]
Charlie, can you get me odds?

I'm planning on going out to the Drunken Seer on Friday night. Can't say much but work's about to get really busy. So if anyone's up for drinks let me know?


[Study Group sans Augustus but with Kal!]
What are we doing for Pye Day this year?

[Kal]
Pye day is Pye's birthday on the 14th of March and has nerdy Muggle math references for Americans who write the date backwards. Don't break up with him before then, alright? (I mean, don't break up with him at all, but that would be a terrible birthday present.)

[Dunbar]
Hey mate, I got an update for you.

[Lex]
Ten? I'm gonna be coming from the Falcons match. Sorta.

Owls go to everyone involved in quidditch, politics, and all of Fraser's many relatives.

In celebration of the rebuilding of Macmillan Priory and the eighth anniversary of my natal day, I am hosting an open house at Macmillan Priory. The roof is on, the floors are solid, the furniture is borrowed and, for the first time since the fire, the Priory is habitable.

Restoring it is the best thing I've ever done, and it's not done, but it's reached a milestone.

Please join me February 29th in enjoying the first gathering at the Priory in sixty years. There will be food, drink, snow, good company, music, dancing, and nearby highland cattle breathtaking Meadhan Lodainn views.

Yours,
Ross Fraser Macmillan

The Muggle Repelling Spells mean it still looks like this to non-wizards:

I keep thinking there's no possible way that the season can get even more grinding and then I remember Montrose is up for three matches next month instead of two, and that we'll probably be on a week to ten days for turnaround for most of the next ten weeks. Three more league matches, two or three Neep matches, plus tournament play.

I'm going to be exhausted by the end of it and I don't even leave the ground during most matches.

[Lorna]

What are we doing for our birthdays this year? Do you think we can just take an evening off and go somewhere and do something fun, just the two of us? Or do we need to wait until May for a night off?

[Montrose +]

What I want for my birthday is for everyone to come away from the Wigtown match without injuries. I know you can't promise me that but I'd appreciate it if you tried.

[Magpie players + Gregor]

I have a proposition for all of you. Stop what you're doing immediately, this is more important.

As some of you may know, I lost my last girlfriend in the wilds of Canada during my holiday by the sea a few years back. Dinna fash, I'm fine, it's onward and upward for Angus Campbell. The trouble is now I've come back from that I'm getting a bit long in the tooth, I live on a wee island, and for various reasons I've not been in the dating game lately. Reckon I need a wee bit of help.

I'm going to need each one of you to set me up with a woman during the next month. I dinnae have many criteria except that she should be female, single, relatively age-appropriate, not affiliated with Portree, and not deathly bored by Quid. If she should happen to be Scottish, lovely, appreciates the outdoors and the sea, and has a flush account at Gringotts, so much the better.

All right, all of ye have your assignments. Operation Forward March is go.

Good News: I've been cleared by the Healers to return to the pitch.
Bad News: Due to others' injuries, hockey might be delayed. If we run out of the season of ice, I'm sure we can come up with some sort of work around. Like maybe socks on freshly waxed wood floors.

So I got ejected immediately no warning and Fuckface Flint can foul 3 times with just warnings? Seems logical.

[Monte]
You alright?

Monte Cameron, that was the finest punch I've seen since Slugger O'Toole's Tuesday Tiki Bar. What did that diseased erumpent's rectum say to you?

It seems Micah and I weren't able to resist the allure of the Montrose rescue group. We went to see who would choose us, and came home with two.
