homeless; mun is re-reading goblet of fire

[toseektofind]

Miss Mun,

Listen, it's great that you want to play me again - it's a bit, uh ... well, you've some interesting characters in your 'headspace,' so I won't pretend it's not nice to get out and stretch my legs, but let's be honest. You haven't got time to put me in a proper game. These - what are they called? 'Meems?' - 'meems' don't seem to be too bad, even if I don't quite know what a 'text from last night' is and why I've got to be drunk to send one.

Let's just be reasonable about all this, yeah?

Yours,
Cedric

We're talking about our muns, Wood. Nothing is sacred to this lot.

[alwaysakeeper]

You've a point. These muns can be incredibly hard to work with.

[He shakes his head in irritated disbelief.]

You mentioned something about a game, yeah?

[toseektofind]

Yeah, ages ago, called 'Mayfield.' Like a town in 1950s America? Bloody weird place.

[alwaysakeeper]

Sounds bloody boring, honestly.

Who else was there?

[toseektofind]

Loads of younger kids. Potter's friends - Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger - Luna Lovegood, that Longbottom kid, Potter's parents - dunno how that worked, but - oh, and Weasley's mum, and his sister.

[alwaysakeeper]

[It takes him a moment to connect faces with the names, though Lovegood and Longbottom are drawing a blank in his mind, even if they sound strangely familiar.]

None of our teammates or year-mates, then.

[While it's nice to know people from their world are in games, they are never the ones he knows very well, or at all.]

[toseektofind]

Nah. No one was even up for a game. Bloody outrageous, it was.

[alwaysakeeper]

I'll say! Wet blankets, the lot of them.

[Huff! What is this blasphemy?]

You think our teams will come out of the woodwork if we look hard enough?

[toseektofind]

I suppose anything's possible. I'd quite like to see Cho again, if nothing else.

You found anyone?

[alwaysakeeper]

Not yet. It's only recently my mun's allowed me to stretch my legs. I suppose I should give it some time.

Have you had better luck outside of your old game?

[toseektofind]

With my teammates? Hardly.

I did run into George Weasley, though. In one of those 'meem' things. It was nice to see him again.

[alwaysakeeper]

Weasley?

[Kind of odd to think of one twin without the other, but then again, muns.]

Perhaps I ought to convince my mun to give these "meems" another go.

[toseektofind]

They're not bad, Wood, really. Bit of fun, and you meet loads of interesting people.

[...and usually end up getting to know them way too well way too fast, but uh. Awkward.]

[alwaysakeeper]

Not very good for a long term goal though, is it?

[He'll consider it though.]

[toseektofind]

Well, no, but my mun's busy enough as it is. I'm happy, anyway; means I'm not trapped in one of those weird places.

[alwaysakeeper]

Where's your sense of adventure, Diggory?

[Short laugh.]

At least your mun has her priorities straight. Can't say the same for mine.

[toseektofind]

Still trying to stick you somewhere mad, eh?

[alwaysakeeper]

The mun has her eye on a few places, but honestly, she's absolutely rubbish at making decisions.

[Oliver hates waffling. 8|]

[toseektofind]

Yeah? Anywhere particularly interesting?

[alwaysakeeper]

Says she wants a place to teach me to fix my priorities, especially about Quidditch.

[Rolls eyes]

Absolutely mad, this one. I won't say no to an adventure, though end-of-the-world scenarios are a bit much.

[Guess which ones the mun is partial too. 8|]

[toseektofind]

[He grins.]

I don't know that even the end of the world could fix your priorities about Quidditch, mate.

[alwaysakeeper]

[He gives Cedric a mock-offended scowl.]

Oi, I have my priorities straight! It's just not often something takes precedence over Quidditch.

[toseektofind]

Not even the apocalypse?

[alwaysakeeper]

We-ell...gotta somehow keep our spirits up, yeah?

[toseektofind]

You won't find me arguing. Nothing like Quidditch to ward off the end of the world.
