Hey there, Gooseberry!

I just want to let you all know that I'm really sorry about Azurcrest's little sledding "incident" this afternoon. You know how those crazy kids can be — leave them alone for five minutes and they'll set the house on fire! Am I right or what? Ha ha ha!

You know, I just feel awful about everything. I can't believe we let three dozen students risk life and limb in the name of 'fun!' Even though it happens every year! And nobody's ever died! And we're in the middle of the fucking woods! It's not like we can go see a movie or catch the latest game! We can only run in circles around camp for so long before we go nuts, you dumbasses.

And yes, I had a responsibility to keep them from breaking rules that were put in place to keep them safe. Rules to prevent students from breaking their noses, fibulae, collarbones, or legs. Oh, and wrists! Ha ha, silly me. How could I forget their wrists. And sure, instead of breaking it up early instead I got caught up in the moment and did something that just helped them sled more, which probably got some of them even more injured than they would have been if they'd given up earlier. And you're totally right, it was arrogant of me to presume that maybe some first aid would make it a less lethal event! Especially when I'm neither an actual adult, nor a licensed Healer, not someone with official MACUSA-approved training at all! Yes, I could have made things a whole lot worse! Thank you so much for pointing that out. I'm so grateful that you've shown me the way.

It's just been such a big day for all of us to grow, and I really feel like we've grown together, right? So close. So goddamn close. Thanks so much for letting me grow along with you.

With nothing but the warmest fucking regards,
Quinn Agnes Cunningham

Who's got bluejays and ~~fucked~~ screwed up royally? This guy. Also McBride. I'd love it if we could just shift allll the blame onto McBride, that'd be real swell, thanks.

~~I'm sorry~~

[Warded Private, Again]

I'm too good at fucking up this year. A reprimand? Detention? Letter home? I've got to start my training applications in a fucking month and I went off and got involved in this stupid shit like some fucking moron. It's going to look fucking awful on my record and if I did something wrong I could have really hurt somebody which is just super peachy because I'm not a goddamn Healer yet and frankly maybe I just shouldn't try and fuck

[Warded to Rafael]

I'm pretty sure I didn't act like this much of ~~a dumbass~~ an idiot ~~when we were toge~~ in our other years. I'm assuming you kept me in line somehow (Magic? Brainwashing? Bribery?) and I'd really appreciate a few pointers before I get bored and found the black market that gets me expelled. Please.

	Sometimes I like to imagine life in Ribbonfin or Ebonhide. And then my fantasy life dies of boredom, but until it does, the peace and quiet is pretty relaxing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yup. That shit's fucking competitive. For the last time I DON'T BELIEVE YOU HAVE MAFIA CONNECTIONS, NOR WOULD I WANT TO INVOLVE MYSELF WITH YOUR FAKE MAFIA CONNECTIONS IF I DID BELIEVE YOU. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Okay. ACTUALLY, I wasn't talking about my mafia connects this time. I was talking about my Illuminati connects, but now I'm tearing up the letter I was writing on your behalf, because you don't deserve Beyonce's help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah like masterminding the socio-political underpinnings of the global economy, but I'm sure she would have made time for you. Too late now though. Lost your chance. You'll just have to get in on your brains and pluck alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Quinn/Jesse qnnc 2016-12-07 01:26 am UTC (link)
	I think I'm feeling desperate enough that your Beyoncé argument was actually starting to sound appealing at the end. Which is alarming. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The last part isn't. Also, as seniors, we're supposed to be role models to the junior and sophomore prefects. Is it really too much to ask that we don't sound like we're making light of all this? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Prefects thingamabobbs 2016-12-07 12:11 am UTC (link)
	I understand how serious the situation is, I promise. I'll talk to Katya, Ree & Zach and we'll make sure it doesn't happen again next year. Right, guys? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Prefects paladins 2016-12-07 12:23 am UTC (link)
	Thank you, Reece. I know none of you are shrugging off the fact that a bunch of people got broken bones and detention and we may or may not be in for another schoolwide lecture by Mrs. Bloom, but... now's not the time. Maybe in a week, when the next unbelievable thing happens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Prefects thingamabobbs 2016-12-07 12:48 am UTC (link)
	You're right. There's been a lot of stuff happening recently. This might all just get lost in a lot of noise. But [...] we can't really do much about one kid who decided to brew some amortentia. We can do something about changing one of our house traditions. Maybe set up an official sledding event on a safer hill. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh no, I meant now's not the time for jokes. I was... making a joke, I suppose. You're absolutely right, this is the time to establish precedent and change house traditions which aren't working for us anymore. I'm sure Azurcrest will be in good hands next year with you, Katya, Ree and Zach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Prefects thingamabobbs 2016-12-07 01:10 am UTC (link)
	Sorry. It's hard to tell on here sometimes. I hope so. Sledding down that hill has always seemed to me like one of the stupider things we do, which is, you know. Saying something. (Reply to this) (Parent)
