Link: So if someone invented a way for you to go inside the Internet, you'd actually take these mysteries seriously?

Link: That's not fair to pin on the Internet! People have always believed things that are so wrong it's crazy and refuse to change their mind even after finding out the truth. There was no Internet during the Salem witch hunt!

Phil: I didn't say that. I don't think the internet's ever going to feel like it's a cave or a tomb or the kinds of things I'm really focused on.

Phil: Witches do exist, though? Just because they couldn't figure out who they were properly doesn't mean they were as off base as we like them to think they were. I'm not trying to pick a fight with you about the internet, I just don't love it as much as you do.

Phil: I think maybe this would be a better conversation to have when you're not so drunk? I'm not trying to invalidate how you feel right now, I'm just saying it might be easier for us to both stay calm and on the same page about this.

You don’t get to call me insane right now, brother. That’s insanely judgey. Besides, you know me; this isn’t exactly too far off course for me. But ew, no, of course I wouldn’t tell the other captains to do what I’m doing, because then their teams would benefit from it too and where would my advantage go?

I didn’t go all the way to insane, I just said there are maybe saner ways to cope. But that’s what you have me for, I’ve always been the one to try and talk you down. Just a thought, Ravenclaw’s the team with the least intense captain and we’re the team with the best record right now. Maybe you could try a new approach.

Ariana: Shit, that's so nice. SAME! Also...are we against hooking up in the kitchens or nooo? I feel like the houseelves would leave us alone.

Phil: I mean, as long as we put away all sharp objects...

Ally: Perhaps they just don't understand you because you're so much taller than they are. What if you got down on their level and then tried asking?

Phil: How do I do that inside of a cart? Should I try crouching on the floor on my knees?

Noa: I mean, not complaining. By the sound of it, I would just bitch about them so, yeah. But seriously? What's her deal with quidditch? She like practically blamed me for us losing.

Phil: Yeah... Kind of wish I'd let her score a few more goals in that one to spare you guys her wrath. It's her life's goal, she doesn't want to see it slip away.

Ariana: Mmhmm! I'm sure it just happened to be a funny little coincidence that way. Lucky me 😋

Phil: Especially convenient since I can't picture anybody I would have wanted to spend Valentine's Day with more...

Ariana: On Valentine's day? YEAH, SURE!

Phil: Oh, is it Valentine's Day? Huh, didn't notice :-p

Archie: firensoned firevr, that me

Phil: LOL well unless you're interested in Ariana or Mindy I think you're probably still all right. You're a good-looking guy, you're nice enough, you just need a little confidence. Don't try so hard!

Ariana: Hmmm FAIR. BUT they need a better name before I decide to not be disappointed about them. What about partycakes?

Phil: Parties can get messy and random and weird, I vote it works.

Link: There's a finding element involved; lots of people go searching for the OP, original poster, on weird stuff like this. Or the original post that brought up things like Candle Cove, and its definitely not easy to find. It's like a puzzle that's also a journey!

Link: Please. There's also so much more information at the ready now, AND fact checking at the ready, because of the Internet. Books were fine but ultimately a stepping stone to where we are now. Its progress.

Phil: You've got a point, but I guess I still like things that I can touch with my own two hands. Places I can go, exploring beyond just my computer or phone screen.

Phil: I guess there was the issue of things going out of date, but still! Some of the things you find online are just so wrong it's crazy, and even once they get corrected, people have seen them and believe them and it's too late.

Ariana: Yess!! It can't be THAT hard to pull off! And even if it's actually useless, at least we'll get pancakes out of it!

Phil: Expecting pancakes is expecting... a lot. How about we expect tasty lumpy cooked dough so we can't be disappointed?

I’m sure you’ll get your Treasure of the Lost Lamp moment someday, duck or not. For a while though, I’m going to have to cut down on my communications with you, sorry. Just for a little bit though, and I trust you’ll know it’s not personal. Congrats on your win, I’m proud of your work, but it just proves to me that I need to refocus and not be distracted from Quidditch at all and that means a break from, well, you. I don’t have a whole lot else to take a break from, honestly.

Um, Dora? I’ll give you a couple of days, but throwing yourself 100% into one thing and one thing only, and cutting off all your interpersonal relationships and stuff, is maybe not the sanest way to handle this? Just throwing that out there. Would you tell Mary Kate or Ariana to go all Quidditch hermit if their teams were the ones that lost instead?

Ariana: It's not useless if you're making Lightning bolt shaped pancakes! Maybe!

Phil: LOL that sounds like we need to try to make lightning bolt shaped pancakes so you can see for yourself just how useless this gift is.
