*gets another sheet of parchment*

Dragonsinger—

Tiara is safely put away. I’ll have an owl out to you next week. And no, I’m not making another bet with you…I know better. Apparently, someone forgot to remind Josée about making bets with you.

--Her Royal Highness, Princess hp5freak

*gets sturdier parchment for long-distance owl*

‘Lo, Cat—

Awesome job on sneaking off from work to chase DanRad. How about letting ALL the CW go next time? I’m sorry the others stuck you to the wall for a while. It was for your own good, you know…

--Freak

*re-tips quill for next notes*

As_Weasley_As_I_Wanna_Be—

I feel your pain this week. Princesses and certained tailed creatures do NOT mix…Cinderella notwitchstanding. Rest up and we will celebrate catching up later. Gotta have you in ready party mode. And I’ve taken away your grindstone.

*gets red parchment for final note*

Josée_Madalia (Josees_house)--

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? DID YOU NOT LEARN FROM MY BET WITH DRAGONSINGER LAST YEAR? SILLY THING TO DO, WOMAN!!! SHE ONLY BETS ON SURE THINGS. HOW DO YOU THINK I ENDED UP LOSING LAST YEAR???? SHE GOT ME ON 300 PROJECTS!!!

*add regular parchment*

She’s a sly one, that Dragonsinger. Very crafty….we must watch out for her. Perhaps we should bet her on something… *ponders briefly* I will now laugh at you because I will be awaiting a Canadian owl because I see that I’m going to benefit from you having lost the bet.

--hp5freak

*tracks down 5 owls for delivery*

*goes back to proper updating*
