You know, I used to think I was really awesome at coping with most shit. Korie's death does not fucking count. But this month has been messing with me hardcore.

I figured it was about time I do this.

I'm Joseph Blackwell. Son of John Blackwell. I was born into a coven on the east coast. I didn't know who my father was until I started to dig into my family history and then one day he came to me, told me about other 'Balcoin' witches. When do the lies stop? They don't

I want to be part of the circle. Or whatever is left of it.

Doctors and nurses have a really hard job. I don't think enough people give them credit.

Filtered to the Circle
I'm back now. I'm sorry I was gone. I didn't realize he put a spell on me that prevented you all from tracking me.

Has anyone seen Doug? Or Deborah?

Their stuff is still here but there's no sign of them and they're not answering their phones.

I was politely informed that my topic of The Parentalia Festival for a class project does not mean I get to bring alcohol to school. Not saying I was going to try that, but what exactly about me gives off the vibe of wanting to bring booze to class?

Sometimes a guy just wants to do a presentation about an ancient festival designed to honor ancestors.

I'm leaving the circle and taking back my vote. Nick is your new leader. I'm evil and I don't care about any of you anyways, right? I'm never around to help and I'm selfish. Therefore it shouldn't affect any of you that I'm leaving.

If you want the circle, you can have it. I'm sick of Melissa attacking me all the time. I didn't do anything to her. Hell, I even apologized for what I did do to her and she still continues to be rude and disrespectful towards me. I just don't understand. I have tried everything I can think of. At this point, I'm probably leaving the circle because nothing is working. Everyone is too focused on my dark magic like I had a say in who my parents are. You know what? If that's what people think of me then screw it. I'm gone.

Another typical Friday night, huh? Are we really surprised?

So, did Faye just become a psychopath overnight or was she like this when she got here?

I want to suggest we take a vote for leadership of the Circle. A lot of things have happened and it is clear we all need to be on the same page.

The Circle isn't an obligation, but it is in our blood. All of ours. Damn it, we were born to make magic and I am not giving up on the Circle.

Cassie has already agreed to this.

So, are we voting for a new leader or not?

Were either of you going to be adults and apologize or do I just have to send you both to jail for the countless felonies you both committed?

You doing okay?

Yep.

I shouldn't be surprised but alright, I'll bite.

What's going on?

So this is what's left when everything else leaves.

How strange.

I know crimes are frowned upon, but what if you commit them for a good reason?

So is anything not stuck up going on for New Year's Eve?

[the entire circle]
We doing anything?

Merry Christmas, losers.

Tomorrow is the Winter Solstice. I, for one, am going to be on the beach making a bonfire.

Put aside your drama for one night, please. I'll have potions and I expect you all to be there.

Time to cast some spells and celebrate like our ancestors.

The fuck is wrong with everyone?
