Scotland, we need to have a talk about...

PLAYOFF BEARDS

What is a playoff beard?
Playoff beards are a tradition among sport teams in North America that began in the greatest league of all, the National Hockey League. When one's team reaches the playoffs, the day before playoffs begin, the players (and/or fans!) capable of growing beards shave off all their facial hair.

Do I get to keep my eyebrows?
Of course; this shouldn't even be a question. You should be ashamed of yourself for even asking.

Can I groom my beard during playoff season?
No.

When do I regain agency over my own face?
When your team is eliminated or they win!

Why should I participate this?
Because it's a tradition. And because, after Montrose's display, I suspect a fair number of you are hockey players at heart. Embrace it, my beautiful bairns.

ALEC URQUHART
Wednesday evening. Free?

DANI MIRACLE
In the interest of your interest in whether or not my well-being has, in fact, been well, I have decided to share with you a very confidential document. More sensitive sections have been redacted to protect the innocent.

If you show it to anyone, I will end you.

Owl package for Alec Urquhart, c/o Bethoc the Braw.
Dear Bethoc,

Inside you will find a few gifts for Alec as a "Welcome home from Bulgaria" surprise. If you have the time, could you please unpack them for him in his room? (If not, simply leaving the package for him to open is fine — I wouldn't want to cause you undue work!)

I'd also like to thank you again for the muffins you sent to the match on Wednesday morning. They were a blessing for our weary staff and players! And they were delicious!

Thank you, and I hope you're doing well!
– Maighread MacDougal


When Alec arrives home on Saturday* he's greeted by the contents of the package arranged neatly around his room: mountain troll-related paraphernalia. It includes:
  • A troll throw
  • A troll pillow
  • A poster of a quirky librarian troll
  • A self-inflating troll balloon
  • No fewer than five photos of trolls inside gaudy rhinestoned heart picture frames, such as the one seen on the right

[* I got handwavey permission from Sands that Bethoc did this! 👍]

If a very tall man asks if you're familiar with me during the match on Friday, please inform him that you've never heard of any "Maighread MacDougal." I'd appreciate it if you even went so far as to insist the Pride's medic is a wizard named "Smith" and has been such for some number of years.

I'll be wearing pink to support Uplift and muggleborn witches and wizards at large. [...] I don't possess the artistic skills necessary to do enough to the tent, however, so [...] use your imagination where that's concerned.

MEAGHAN MCCORMACK:

Left on Gwen Miracle's desk. February 13.


I found one of these hidden in my bookcase and thought it could have a second run.

Wait until you're home to open the box.

– Maggie.

[Inside a small, unmarked box is one of the singing Christmas pigs! It now oinks the tune of Gwen Miracle's chart-topper "Quidditch is a Waste of Time."]



Owl for Percy Weasley. February 14. Arrives at his flat. No return address.



Owl for Alec Urquhart. February 14. No return address necessary.


Take a break. I couldn't find sheet music for the Blind Melon crap so I'm lending you my Walkman, but if you break it I'll kill you.

M.

P.S. Don't read into the date. It was the only free lunch I had.


[The package contains a piano songbook for Queen's greatest hits, Maggie's cherished Sony Walkman, and her cassette of Blind Melon's eponymous album. She included the instruction manual for the Walkman because, well... wizards.]
