ANNOUNCEMENTS: Oct 20
LMAO HOW IS IT THE 20TH ALREADY. Okay, head's up: Marin is still on slow posting because she is a disaster of an adult (and also technically just started a new job, so).

Regarding the rest of October, we will not be adding new events to make up for the ones which were struck out. A couple reasons: a) we figure the Pumpkin Carving Party, Costume Creation Party, Quidditch match and Halloween Dance will keep you all busy enough, and b) we need to slow down on creepy events to maintain the pace of the game. (But of course Halloween will not be devoid of creepy happenings!) We promised compensation, so if you lost an October calendar event and you did not already have at least two other events, you will get to see November's calendar a day early and sign up one of your characters in advance!

These players are:
- Callie
- Cheryl
- Emily
- Josie
- Roz
You five can expect to see next month's calendar on October 29! :)

For clarification, blank comments are considered "invisible" reactions and cannot be seen by other characters, i.e. icons do not exist in-universe, only text. Struck-out comments can still be seen and attributed to your character, though.

Yes, strict curfew and the buddy system are still active! Quinn Cunningham has taken the initiative to post BUDDY SYSTEM SIGNUP SHEETS, which will go in the library and on the bulletin boards of all house campsites. Aaand she's posted about it right here!!!

Okay, I need to spend this evening writing this weekend's Quidditch match and learning a new JS framework, so everyone tell me who your characters are asking to the Halloween Dance so I can figure out who my characters should ask. Feel free to use this as a plotting post if your characters don't have a date yet. I'm just nosy and want to know.

Also, Meggie would like to announce that she loves you and thinks you're all so cute, but I'm not adding it as a bullet point because I refuse to validate this gross unprofessionalism.
♥, M&M

	Levi has asked Cecil and Maggie is currently dateless. ALSO lmao MY BAD. Me and Emma were playing around with reaction icons in an entry but we knew it was OOC and the responses/reactions weren't actually there. Can we still do that if we acknowledge it's ooc or should we just not as to not cause confusion? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Playing around with reaction icons is totally fine! Obviously, try not to go overboard (i.e. a comment thread of like 10+ reaction icons), but we just wanted to clarify since someone had asked on the Dropbox awhile ago whether or not it's IC or OOC, and we figured other people might be wondering the same.

	Please someone finally explain to me the magic of the blank comment. IJ is always like "NOPE. CAN'T DO THAT." to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I usually put an italics tag in the text box and then no text (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oh gosh. that makes so much sense. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	idfk 2016-10-20 06:45 pm UTC (link)
	Type < Just < as the only thing in the box. It counts it as an incomplete html tag and posts it as blank (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As does that. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yes! Except sometimes I leave spaces and it shows up so I look like a loser :( So it takes being careful I guess (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Thank you everyone for being so helpful. This game has brought me so much further into the 21st center. 😢 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

ALSO, anyone can know about Cecil/Levi and just assume they overheard Levi talking about it or they read it in a journal entry. He mentioned it publicly somewhere after Cecil said yes but I'm on mobile and too lazy to find it. They can also know that Levi started an Alice in Wonderland costume group bc he warded the entirety of the Azurcrest Girls and also because, again, he could've been overheard talking about it. If anyone wants their characters to be part of it, lemme know and we can find a way to work them in! The Mad Hatter, Dormouse, Cheshire Cat, White Rabbit, and Red Queen are the only ones currently taken.

They can also know that Maggie is dateless. She broke up with her long term gf (last year's HG) before the start of the semester and hasn't been too enthused about finding a date like she normally would.

	I would volunteer Cricket to be GUNG-HO about matchmaking for Maggie, but I kinda feel like she has a weird resistance to her bffs loving anyone else but her :( Aka - she is the worst (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	idfk 2016-10-20 07:06 pm UTC (link)
	THAT'S FAIR. Maggie might just end up asking boy or going stag (doe?) if nobody asks her because she doesn't wanna stress over trying to impress a cute girl. She might end up asking Cricket a few days before the dance if they're both still dateless. WE JUST DON'T KNOW. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cricketq 2016-10-20 07:08 pm UTC (link)
	Cricket's going with Raf O.O But they can be a trio! Or Cricket will start dropping some hints about the beautiful Sun-mi (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	idfk 2016-10-20 07:10 pm UTC (link)
	OH LMAO I READ THAT THEN I ALREADY FORGOT oh god, Sun-mi is too pretty and Maggie is too gay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cricketq 2016-10-20 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	Honestly, when I originally apped Cricket, I was like, "Oh god, there is gonna be some gay subplot here" but then Cecil and Diego stole the show and Cricket accidentally got all hot for Wes, so now I'm not sure. But there is probably still some awkward subtext between them (on Cricket's end). SO SORRY MAGGIE! You're on your own. Cricket is the worst. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	l m a o Maggie's just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and content to be her Stay-At-Home Wife and keep out of the boy drama. Meanwhile, she's busy sweatin it out over cute and sporty D&F club girls to get over her breakup. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cricketq 2016-10-20 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	This is the worst. Cricket is over here lobbing her emotions at Raf and Ravi and whoever else will take them, because her two bffs are like, "Sorry, dicks are weird. I can't help you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
