It could be worse! At least it's contained! As far as wide-spread incidents go, it's fairly light-hearted.

One more day of their detention. Meaning one more day to have little competition for the sauna.

I've been thinking about how to get a date to the dance. Let me run some ideas by you?

1) Purposefully accidentally walk beneath mistletoe in front of girls who like girls. Gauge their reactions to having to kiss me free.

2) Sign up for Bae's matchmaking services. (Is it too late?) Or you could enter my name as a playful "joke".

3) You set me up with a nice girl.

4) I ask Tess even though she hasn't shown any indication that she wants to go with me.

Let me know how I can help you in return.

They're being released already??? Ugh. Okay, sauna tonight?

[Maggie & Cricket]

1) I'm havin a lot of fun running around under the mistletoe, but it's all awful chaste. You'd have to corner a girl who likes girls who you wanna go girl on girl with on the balconies or you're like to get a kiss on the back of the hand. Rafael's managed to make it mechanical.

2) If I enter your name and you don't like who you get, can you back out? Or is that like... coal in your stocking cruel?

3) I WILL SET YOU UP WITH ANYONE! You just have to give me a hint. I am good at this. Look at Tabitha and Nate!

4) I just don't think she's the type to fret over formal, but I'm SURE she would love to go with you. I'll bet Champagne Fantastic's first born foal on it.

Should we include Nate in this conversation? Do boys have useful thoughts?

What would you say if I asked Kenzie?

Tuesday marks the week. Sauna tonight.

[Maggie & Cricket]

1) I like chaste! I prefer chaste! I'll just know that if it's mechanical then I can mark her off as "disinterested".

2) I can back out by saying I didn't enter myself and we can all have a laugh. And then if I do like the match then... !! It was fate!

3 & 4) Nudge Tess toward me. Or Olivia's cute. Iris??? ~~She's a Purebl~~

Nate's going to shrug uselessly, but you can add him in if you'd like.

[...]

~~Do you actually like gir~~ Why Kenzie?

Good to know that if I orchestrate a mass suicide I'll have my sauna privileges back in no time.

NATE, you in? The sauna, not the suicide.

[Maggie & Cricket]

1) Well, come wander around the lodge! You don't have to be a mistle-ho. You can be chaste!

2) Alright, I'll put your name in. But if I accidentally crush someone poor girl's Christmas spirit, I'm going to [...] be fine with that. This is Winter Formal. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

3 & 4) I can talk to Tess. But she's going to ask you, if I do. So ... should I do the blind date thing, too? Or nudge Iris first? Olivia dated Irene, right?

~~What did you cross out?!!!~~

[...]

Cuz she's the only person that I'm attracted to at this school (since Wes) who doesn't treat me like their mom or their sister.

Doesn't Stoker get his back in January? Even though he orchestrated the Gooseberry Killer plot, chased a girl with a knife, and mercilessly bullied Calvin Evercreech all year long?

[Maggie & Cricket]

~~What did you cross out???~~

Just put my name in. I'm a desperate woman. But also drop hints to Tess that I'm available, if given the opportunity. But don't make it obvious that I'm asking you to do it. Don't go out of your way to do it. But if the opportunity presents itself. But do it slyly.

I love you forever.

Okay, and back to this new development with Kenzie. Since when? ~~I didn't even know you liked girls seriously enough t~~

~~She's okay, I guess.~~

She seems ~~okay~~ ~~fine~~ nice.

Do you think the staff knows about him bullying Calvin? I know a certain Ribbonfin who loves to write exposes.

[Maggie & Cricket]

Got it, coach! I have this under control. You'll have a date by the week's end. Hopefully before the Grotto party where love goes to die.

Not our love, though. Obviously. Love YOU to the moon and back.

You're crossing too much stuff out. I changed my mind.

They have to. I suspect Vector turns a blind eye to it because he's the Quidditch captain.

[Maggie & Cricket]

Our love is infallible. I never go to Grotto parties anyway. But maybe I should start going?

I don't think she's a poor choice. She's still a better choice than Wes. I like her much more than Wes, but I do tend to trust women far more than men so that may be my own bias. I just wouldn't have pinned her as your type, is all. You two have plenty in common.

I won't pretend to understand Quidditch, but why would you stick your neck out for a captain leading a team on a losing streak?

Look at this engaging, philosophical conversation we're having for Nate's benefit. Wonder when he will weigh in...

[Maggie & Cricket]

♥ They're [...] fun. I remember 'em being more fun when I was younger. I think that's just part of growing old and jaded and curmudgeonly, though. Are you ready to retire yet? We can move to Scotland and sell homemade jams at the market. Maybe take up whittling.

But honest, you should go to at least ONE your senior year. It would freak people out! And, turns out, Nate and I are awful good at Quidpong (he's probably always been) and we could use an alternate. Plus, you can stop me from drunk journaling!

My type is terrible, Maggie. You can tell me straight. Nice ~~boys~~ people bore me. Maybe I'm just too used to having my ass kissed back in Olympus. [...] I dunno. I'm not caught up on Kenzie or anything, I just think she's pretty and funny and if I walked in with her, we'd turn heads. That's a good enough reason to ask someone... right?
