IM/Can Be Action

[This is Hermione. This is Hermione looking a tad nervous to be asking the question she's about to ask, but she's been weighing on it for some time now. Especially after what happened with the Red Room…and now knowing that everyone's staying at Camp…it wasn't something she wanted to ignore any longer.

Anyone looking at the IM will see that she's sitting out by her usual lake, occasionally casting spells to change colors of stones nearby. It's a mindless incantation that she likes to do when she's focused on something else.]

I'm sure there will be some people that might be offended by this question, but I'm curious. Who do you tend to value more, your friends or your family? [She's being careful not to look at the camera as she changes another stone from blue to pink to green. She'd had a fight with Ron about it, of course, and she still wasn't entirely sure how she felt.] Demigod siblings don't count, by the way. I mean our actual families that we live with outside of camp. I realize that they're two entirely different spectrums, but…let's pretend we had a choice this year. Which of you would return, and which of you would stay to protect them?

[And then suddenly she's giving a light smile as she moves on to her next, and last, point..] Anyway, I think I'll be in the Arena later today if anyone needs me. [And she cuts the connection.]

I know what I asked about, Nat. I'd just like to know why it is that some people don't realize just how valuable camp and everything we do here actually is. I've never quite understood the ones who go home during the school year. It almost seems...counterproductive, don't you think? [That's insensitive, she knows, but she's not sure how else to express it without dissolving into "Well Ron said..."]
clearasil: (( unstable ))

When I used to go home, I thought - maybe I could pretend that I wasn't what I am, but it just made me feel even more like an outcast. I'm obviously in support of staying year round but some people need that real world feel.

No use writing off camp's importance, though, no.

Exactly my point. I've tried pretending everything was normal as well, but it's too different now. Everything's changed. I think some people think I'm awful for not contacting home more often than I do.
clearasil: (( fuck gabe ))

"Some people?" Ron?
sometimesinsufferable: (Don't ever forget)

[personal profile] sometimesinsufferable 2013-09-23 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Whoops. She just gives her a nervous smile.] It's that obvious?
clearasil: (( camper ))

[ She just grins smugly. ] Come on, after living with and, uh, being related to you, I should know some things.
sometimesinsufferable: (Goodnight I’m leaving)

[personal profile] sometimesinsufferable 2013-09-23 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
Should, and you do. [She can't help but roll her eyes even if Natalie's 100% correct.] Ron and I don't exactly see eye to eye on this whole...thing. Or on anything lately, actually.
clearasil: (( fades away ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-09-24 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
I've kinda noticed, yeah. [ Which says a lot considering Natalie's subpar social observation skills. ]

How is it that he can get under your skin like that?
sometimesinsufferable: (You can't see)

[personal profile] sometimesinsufferable 2013-09-25 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
I've known him for far too long? [She laughs a little.] Honestly I've no idea. It's been like this since we were twelve.
clearasil: (( just smile ))

[ It's a wonder Natalie hasn't tried hexing Ron for making her cry in the past but - well, Hermione's more than capable of doing one herself. ] What's changed about your disagreements? If you can, like, even put a finger on that kind of thing.
sometimesinsufferable: (Followed you home halfway)

[personal profile] sometimesinsufferable 2013-09-26 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
[And she probably has. Without a doubt.]

Honestly? I think it's just that emotions got in the way. [The most basic form of answer, she thinks. It's hard to dissect but it's pretty close to the truth.]
clearasil: (( covered ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-09-27 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Feelings. [ Natalie scoffs. Bane of her existence. And she is the worst at masking her own. ]
sometimesinsufferable: (You'll always be his girl)

[personal profile] sometimesinsufferable 2013-09-27 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
Precisely. [See at least Natalie understands and that's what matters here.] And then there was the giant argument during the Apollo dance and it's just been a mess since then.
clearasil: (( concentration ))

[personal profile] clearasil 2013-09-27 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I figured, after I came back with you sitting in the dark. [ If memory serves her right. Her own evening had taken a different turn. ]

He better not make a mess on your birthday.

[Ah yes, things that were vaguely discussed and acknowledged by half-sisters. She hadn't forgotten, though she was a little embarrassed to admit she had sort of been self-centered lately.]

He won't. [She sounds confident in that.] I know he won't, no matter how upset with me he is.
