Gooseberry High

( Card tossed at Chris Park during breakfast (or whenever the plague victims are released) )

Honestly, if they hadn't let me out of quarantine for my long class day I would've led a prison break. Bye, fever crew. It's been real. So very real.

[Ebonhide Quidditch yes already]

Sorry about that. Back. We're running drills today to make up for time lost.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE HAPPY TO SEE THE HERBOLOGY GREENHOUSE IN MY LIFE. And I probably never will again.

That was fun. Let's never do that again.

[Warded to Ty]

Can I talk to you for five minutes?

( Warded Private (cut for language) )

If you happen to see my cat Madoc today, do offer him your congratulations and praise, for I am very proud of him and his progress. He has killed his first rat this morning! He's still a kitten, so all encouragement would be wonderful as he embraces his true predatory instinct at this formative time in his life.

I do apologize to Bailey for him leaving his trophy on your pillow, but I have left a very strong cleaning potion that Mummy and Daddy sent with me on your desk. Madoc must have a great deal of affection for you to leave the slain foe in your bed, I suppose if we truly consider that point of view on the bright side. He is very protective of our cabin and we should all be very grateful as such.

Sweet sweet freedom. I never thought I'd be as happy to see this camp as I am right now. I could kiss the ground in gratitude.





But I won't because what did we just learn about wayward kissing?

But what really matters is that Coppertale won.

[Warded to Wes]

Can we talk about Cricket?

So, freedom is great. But you know what's even better, Gooseberry? Finally having some ENERGY again! I feel like I'm back from the dead. Zombie-Ty has some demands:

RAFAEL, let's dance!
HAZEL, let's climb trees!
VEE + TABS, let's do some goddamn backflips! (sorry, Cheer Heaven, you're not getting us today!)
LEVI, let's also dance!
SQUAD, let's practice! (did you guys practice without me? I don't even know and that makes me the worst)

Someone please play with me before I explode.

[Warded to Quinn]

Can I talk to y

I'm sorry about Sunday. And Friday. And

Thanks for bringing Missy back.

We're still friends, right?

[Added Later]

So, I'm not the only one who wants to dance. The people have spoken. IMPROMPTU DANCE PARTY IN THE STUDIO?

You are welcome, Coppertale.

I think I'll miss the quiet.

But welcome back, everyone. I am glad you are all feeling better.

And that nobody kissed me at the party. I'm most glad about that.

Cricket finds a small note addressed to her and stuck to her cabin door. Inside, she finds the tight, neat script of Ms. Petrichor.

( Ms. Quayle... )

Now that I'm not on my deathbed - GO COPPERTALE.

That's all.
