Gooseberry High

Everything's already terrible. My little brother is taller than me.

Two great things.

I had pancakes with real Maple Syrup, and there is a Canadiens Game tomorrow. I will be watching that with the family. It is good to be home.

It's so good to be home and where the weather is something normal. Poor Hector has been basically buried in my blankets for the last week or so. He's a lizard. Heat lamps or no, he hates the cold even more than I do.

I asked him if he was glad to be home and this is what he said:

Glad we're on the same page. I think he's going to play some Clash later, so that'll be fun.

Private to Vee

Can I talk to you about some things?

Private to Will and Kele, seperately

sorry to be weird This is a strange question but Nope nope nope nope

Hey um, sorry I was way over nervous but um. Thanks for not making kissing games as weird as they could be?

Private to Sly
Hope you had fun at the dance with Pin. But now it's time to plot more things. Did you know Henrietta is really good at Charms. I'm filing that away for future reference.

What if we did something surprising but nice, like the champagne bubbles after the first sip will pop some glitter in the air. Nothing gross, nothing harmful, classy and cute.

[There's an uneven blue-tinted liquid stain that starts from the top left corner and is slowly seeping across the page. Somebody's spilled a bit of their drink.]

It's hard to focus on reading/writing new music/art/literally anything else when you have these two following you around

Mulled wine continues to be the superior drink of winter.

Anyone else bored yet? I'm bored. I'm probably going to work on my senior project for a while unless you guys distract me from this madness. Thank god I'm going to see Chris tomorrow or I might become a good student or something!

[Warded to Rafael]

Just heard from Sabi and she's not even coming. Important business in India, tracking down a manuscript she's been on the trail of since September, etc. etc. Exciting for her, but this blows. Just me, mom, dad, and Max. Joooooy. Raf, if you're my friend, you'll kill me.

Though, it'd be way worse if you hadn't saved my ass a few weeks ago. So. Thank you again, St. Rafael! Expect one hell of a Christmas present, man.

How're things at school? Quiet, I bet.

[Warded to Katya + Asher]

You were both wrong about me.
I did something hor
What the fuck is wrong with me?
You need to stay the hell away

[Warded to Solomon]

I know 'sorry' isn't good enough, but
Are you all right?
Why couldn't you just back off?
This wasn't about you. I'm s

[Warded to Rafael]

I'll stay away from the others. This won't happen again.

OOC: Following some bad news from home, a very upset Casper snapped and lashed out at Solomon. It got violent before Kele and Rafael intervened. A log is coming, but for now... Any character that's still on campus could've seen this happen in the cafeteria around dinnertime tonight. Obviously, though, only those in the log would have intervened. So handle that however seems appropriate!

( HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING )

Enjoy the break, everyone. I will be waiting to remind you of all the rules when you return.

[Warded to Leo]

How was your trip home? Are you enjoying seeing your family? I miss It is strange not seeing you every day.

[Warded to Ravi & Sun-mi]

Please, mark your calendars.

I need your help.

I don't know what to get Leo for Christmas. I am afraid if I get something too nice, it will scare him. If it is not nice enough, he will think my interest is fading. Which it is not. Things have happened that make it more serious, but it is only a month long relationship, at best.
