today was fun!! [...] and sparkly.
i think we bonded well.
what do you all think?

ah. and congratulations to team two! your victory was well-earned.
i'm humbled to have been felled by one of your last-standing champions.

i wonder what next month will bring.

the balls were surprisingly pretty
fireworks-show dodgeball!
seems weirdly familiar to me and my hair

ah. you're right! it was like fireworks.
what are the balls normally like?

[...] why familiar?

idk! I'd assume they'd be like normal kid-balls, so...boring and rubber?

...flashbacks to my hair being very rainbow l when we first got here. like, I don't want to accuse anyone, maybe it's just the way that magic generally looks?

also for like a few days I was very vibrantly colored, which I can get behind

i see. [...] i think this is better! more colors. fewer casualties.
most kids don't play with magic either. probably. a very different game.

ah! yes! i remember. i don't think i knew you at the time. but it was striking. you could do it again if you liked it.

you don't have to accuse anyone. but you could ask rosie?

wait do they play rubber ball games to the death where you are from?
are you offering to dye my hair for me?
I could! but it was pretty lowkey hazing so even if it was rosie, it's ok!

ah. no. not to my knowledge! but if we'd been playing with balls like those, permanent damage seems possible. lost teeth. damaged eyes. like that.

me? [...] i've never done that. but i'd be willing to try!

then all's well.

is everyone just much stronger?
how hard could it be? what color should we do?

not to my knowledge.
from what i've seen, i think the strongest people here are from ikoria.
but i could be wrong.

agreed! and we'll never know until we try.
it is your hair. what color do you like best?

how can you tell?

love it. maybe green? or brown, but it is already brown. I like blue also, though. I wonder if we could manage streaks. does that sound hard?

observation and experience. mostly.

blue and green then! streaks seem doable. i think.
as you said! how hard can it be?

I'd be very curious for your thoughts.

right? totally doable. I feel like we got this.
should I come to you? you want to come to me? when is good?

...should we try to do this magic or old fashioned herb-way. I feel like the former might be more impressive and temporary but also could go horribly wrong and the latter might be less impressive but also like, worst comes to worst I'll just have to shave my head.

whenever you like. i am ready!

i don't know any magic to change colors. though i know it's doable.
we could try to find guidance in the library.
and use herbs if that doesn't work.

an adventure! a library-and-herbs adventure, my fave. let's do it. maybe we can ask some upperclassmen or something.

Hopefully something where we can use our brains instead of our bodies.

there's some brains in dodgeball. i think.
people got creative yesterday!
but i get what you mean too.

is there anything you're hoping for?

Maybe a puzzle or a maze.

ah! a maze would be fun!
would it have a minotaur?

i fear i would be a burden to my team for a puzzle.
but i guess we all will be for some challenges.

There's that one who works in the library. Maybe we can borrow him.

Why?

maybe we could! if he is willing.
do you think we're allowed to make requests?

i'm not good at things like that.
take your time and think through them things.
[...] but i'd do my best!

It’s funny cuz normal days? I’d count those what was throwin projectiles at me as new best enemies not friends. Praps twas all the glitter but I Do feel bonded now

i'm glad there are no hard feelings. that would be a lot of new enemies.
it's sort of a shame the glitter won't last longer, though. if it is a sign of camaraderie.
