SOPHOMORE SEANCE

Micah St. Clair proposes a seance in the woods with his classmates. Despite teachers re-emphasizing the ban on the Grotto only a few days before, sophomore students sneak out after dinner to make their way to the Grotto. Everyone is warned to avoid attracting attention from non-sophomores or getting caught. ALSO BRING YOUR COOLEST SEANCE CLOTHING GUYS WE'VE GOT TO SET THE MOOD!!!!!

In the middle of the Grotto clearing, Micah's thrown down blankets over the snow, and conjured two small tables. One table has lit candles for mood lighting and a bowl of burning herbs (or like, whatever, Micah grabbed something nice-smelling from the greenhouse). The other has a Ouija board and planchette.

Everyone who wants to COMMUNE WITH THE FOREST SPIRIT is asked to gather around the table and lightly place their fingers on the planchette. One person asks a question at a time, so as not to confuse THE SPIRITS. They can stay and ask questions until the prefects (hi Ree!!!!) determine that it's nearing curfew and everyone needs to go back to camp.

THE RULES

SOPHOMORES ONLY. No snitching and no party crashers! :(((

NO JOURNALS. We're setting an atmosphere here!!!! This also means that everyone is FORBIDDEN from discussing the seance with anyone outside of the sophomore class (although of course Micah can't actually enforce this).

TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY or get out of the circle! You're going to ruin the ~~supernatural vibes~~ they've got going here.

DON'T PUSH THE PLANCHETTE. We're supposed to be communing here!!! (That said, if a character is trying to push for a specific answer, just say so, but for the sake of fairness, I'll be limiting how many times anyone can manipulate the planchette.)

YOU CAN ASK ANYTHING YOU WANT. No making fun of anyone's question!!! Everyone's allowed to ask a ghost if there's anyone who wants to kiss them. :(

» ArrivalS: For making plans, sneaking out, or greeting your friends at the Grotto.

» The Ouija Board: WHERE ALL THE ACTION IS!!!!

» Observers: For those of you who are total wusses and don't want to MAYBE get possessed.

» Departures / Did You Get Into Trouble?: Apparently it's against the rules to sneak out to the Grotto????

Every character is allowed to ask up to two questions. Please put your question as a new comment under this heading. The cutoff for questions is Fri, Jan 27 at 11:59 PM MT.

Either

auteur or

goosemods will post an answer from the Ouija board, sourced from a pool of randomly generated Ouija board responses or an actual metaplot hint, depending on how much Meggie wants to be humour me. The reliability of the Ouija board is NOT GUARANTEED!!!!

	After everyone's settled around the board, Micah starts off with the most obvious question. "Is anyone here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ree, not at all intimidated by the prospect of communing with spirits and feeling very straight-to-the-point: "Is the supernatural being in the woods malevolent toward Gooseberry?"

	Okay, okay, okay, Jeffy's got this, Jeffy knows what he's gonna ask. "Does anyone live at the Gr--wait, no, ghosts--does anyone reside at the--WAIT. Is the Grotto anyone's home???" Okay maybe he didn't have the question all that well figured out before he started saying it, but he got there in the end, didn't he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Essie doesn't want to give any demons ideas, so she doesn't ask the question that's actually plaguing her mind. "Do you have a name we can call you?" Because that seems like a polite thing to ask. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
