Alright Caradoc, I got a journal. But I make no promises that I won't get bored and forget about it before the month is out, so don't get too excited. That goes for all the rest of you, too. Minimal excitement, all round.

Am I supposed to introduce myself or something? I'm Dorcas, I take photos, there's not really a lot to me. I hope there's more of you I know here besides just Caradoc because no offence, Cara Mia, but despite appearances I do actually occasionally require other social stimulation.

[Private to Caradoc]

So, you're even more of a mope than usual lately, but worse than that, you're an elusive mope. Unacceptable. I'm shooting a wedding Saturday so this weekend is pretty much out, but if you want to get irresponsibly drunk on a weeknight just say the word and you know I'm your girl.

	On the basis of having shared your secret terror of ending up noseless? Are we calling that knowing one another now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You were a few years above me in Hufflepuff. Also, some of the younger Unspeakables tell stories about you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am fantastically flattered and a legend in my own time! So are you still in training or fully Unspeakable, yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sturgeon 2008-05-29 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	They're not very flattering stories, actually. Training. If "filing papers all day" is training. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I didn't imagine they would be. And yes, that sounds about right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sturgeon 2008-05-29 09:20 pm UTC (link)
	Well it's a bit odd to be flattered by non-flattering stories, is all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hell, at least I'm memorable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One of the blokes was saying about how you threw up on Minister Sumner. That true? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dorcas_ 2008-05-29 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	Almost true. I threw up near Sumner. That makes a big difference. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'll have to ask someone who wasn't busy vomiting at the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sturgeon 2008-05-29 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	Well the way it's being told around the office, you threw up right on the fellow, so clearly the sources I've access to aren't the most credible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dorcas_ 2008-05-30 12:50 am UTC (link)
	I think I'll leave you to your non-credible sources and keep the legend alive. One day they'll embroider tapestries of me. Vomiting on importance ministry personnel left and right. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Journalers: don't go blaming me for this one's presence here. She may blame me but I claim no association. [ Dorcas ] It's about damn time, Meadowes. I was getting sick of opening this every day and reading bollocks Hogwarts gossip and little else. Don't know about irresponsibly drunk, but a few never hurt anybody. You're on. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	dorcas_ 2008-05-29 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	I absolutely intend not only to blame you but to do many many blameworthy things. [ Caradoc ] I hereby pledge to do my very best to enrich the content of these journals, if only with gossip about people we actually know. And it's cute that you're pretending 'a few' isn't enough to get you irresponsibly drunk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	caradoc_ 2008-05-29 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	Of course you will. [ Dorcas ] A few isn't enough to get me irresponsibly drunk. Or are we debating just how drunk irresponsibly drunk is? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dorcas_ 2008-05-30 12:36 am UTC (link)
	I've got some kind of a reputation to live up to or something. I would hate to disappoint. [ Caradoc ] Or I'm just taking the piss. The way I do. But you know a few is enough if I'm pouring 'em. (Reply to this) (Parent)
