Gooseberry High

All of the seniors are brought into the lodge and given a hearty breakfast and a once over by Mufferaw, who determines them to be in good health. Tabitha Ogletree and Christopher Park both have colds and get a Pepper-Up. Rafael Ramirez gets a hushed but tense talking to by Mufferaw.

Ms. Vector calls together the entire junior class, and... she looks pissed. She lectures everyone on decorum, and takes twenty points from each house. Every student who participated in a fight (Sylvester Stoker, Rosemary Stoker, Reid Wainwright, Kurt Wolfhart, Riley Stamper, Olivia Sanchez, Casper Kim, Casey Patterson, Jacob Wood) gets a week's worth of detention. Every day after dinner next week, you will be with her, cleaning the floors of the Lodge. No, she does not care that this is the House Elves' job, because she just made it your job. The one exception will be the dance... please report to her after the dance is complete, as you will be assisting Event Committee with cleanup if you're not already.

She then sends everyone back to their cabins, except the junior prefects. She expresses her extreme disappointment in them. "You were all trusted with a position of responsibility and this casts doubt on our decision to do so," she says sharply. "Last night, you failed your Houses, your teachers, and your classmates. You're all on probation* until further notice."

She leaves without another word, clearly not in a mood to differentiate who was or was not responsible for what happened.

[* Until Ms. Vector or Mrs. Bloom are less annoyed with the junior prefects, you may get your badges taken away for further poor behavior. Any points you give or remove may be investigated to ensure you're not abusing the power.]

That fucking sucked.

If I don't show up at morning practice I probably fell asleep. And hopefully died of pneumonia or some shit.

Hey

I'm sorry

Can y'all please give shower priority to the people who were stuck out in the rain and mud against their will?

[Warded to Sy]

Why do I Look at what you make me do

This is why I don't do fun.

I'm going back to homework on Friday nights.

[Warded to Kurt]

How ya doin' today, slugger champ?

Barely gave out points anyway. At least Riley got one step closer to finding true love.

[Junior Prefects]

Well, that's just annoying. I didn't even get covered in mud and got in trouble.

DEAR JUNIOR FIGHT CLUB,

Congratulations! You are cordially invited to join the Lake Gooseberry Shinny, or "LGS," Gooseberry's very own pick-up hockey league. Beginning its second year this December, 2013, these shinny games are casual, fun, no-strings hockey matches with randomized teams.

Lake Gooseberry Shinny is a staff-sanctioned method to get your frustration out in a way that won't contribute to the House Mug or get you detention. Yes, I understand that may be a novel concept to you right now.

Sign-up sheets will be available in the atrium at first snowfall. The first match will take place one week after the lake freezes over, which usually happens in December.

We hope to see you there.

Sincerely,
Quinn Cunningham
Organizer

P.S. Goalies need not apply.

Shinny invitations are not exclusive to Junior Fight Club participants and are open to all Gooseberry High students.

The rules needed some revisions after last year and they'll be posted with the sign-up sheets. Revisions include: mandatory helmets, a staff-approved list of "Acceptable Forms of Contact," and colour-coded badges to denote acceptable levels of violence contact per player.

We leave you for one evening???

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU GUYS HAD A FIST FIGHT/MUD WRESTLING PARTY WITHOUT ME. I mean, I had a great time at senior bonding and I wouldn't trade it even to see cute Junior boys wailing on each other BUT!!! BUT!!!!!! COME ON NOW.

Somebody give me the details. All the details. Let me live vicariously through you.

Halloween is one of my favorites, obviously for costumes. And yes, I did pick the Phantom for my costume this year because the Drama Club is doing that. I also made Yentl a tiny Phantom coat and cloak, so we match. She didn't like the mask :(

And yes, if you haven't heard or figured out by now, I will be auditioning for the title role, so bring your A game, tenors. You'll need it. And ladies planning to audition for Christine, I am totally available if you want to start practicing any of the songs ;)

Warded to Coppertale Prefects

Vector just put ALL of the junior prefects on probation because of fucking Sy starting his fucking mud fight while the Seniors were all gone. Including me, and I wasn't even THERE, because apparently she doesn't care about figuring out who was actually responsible.

So yeah, remind me again how the fuck I am supposed to do anything about Sy when he clearly has a self destruct button?

Who: Ravinder Dhaliwal & Diego Morales
When: Tuesday, October 18. BACKDATED.
Where: The woods, during Equestrian Club.
