Gooseberry High

I had a great time at the masquerade - I hope everyone else did to! However, I have been thinking about this one dance just realized that there is one person I danced with that I definitely cannot place. The only reason it sticks out is because he definitely seemed to know who I was. Like. He knew what I wrote on the Anonymous post. I think. But I have no idea how. How could he know it was me? That makes no sense. Sure, everyone could read it. But how could he know I had written it? Not only because it was anonymous when I wrote it, but because I was anonymous at the dance. He must have known I wrote that, because why else would you say

Who are you?? I am very curious! You told me you had just learned to dance, you had a mask like a piece of bark, and you were very nice. I just don't understand at all. Please tell me who you are.

[It's very quiet outside. It has been since yesterday. The animals you see appear tense and skittish, like they're waiting for something to happen, and the forest feels somehow a little less alive. A little empty.

After the sun's glow fades from the horizon, you open your journal to see a strange new entry. It has no name, and the heavy text looks as though it was burned into the paper. If you lean in close, you smell pine sap. Once again, it's the Anonymous Writer.]

something happened yesterday. i think everyone needs to know.

the gifts that we left anon were all broken and left in the middle of the grotto. i don't know why.

i'm really sorry this happened. i'm sorry, ennis. and everyone. i don't know who else left things out there, i guess.

don't ask me how i know. ok? because i'm not going to say anything.

[Warded to Quinn PRIVATE]

How are you? Bad? Me too.

Remember when you offered

[Warded to Quinn]

Now that you and I are the two most hated prefects in school, I feel as though we are closer.

How do you
I can't relax
How do you diagnose a nervous br

What does getting high feel like?

Leaving nice anon comments for each other is my favorite part of these things, but things are getting particularly nasty this time around and if things keep getting worse every month so I think we could use a little extra positivity.

Let's say something nice to each other off-anon? I know it's a little harder to say sappy things with your name signed but maybe if we practice it'll make the whole atmosphere here friendlier. I'm going to post everybody's names here so nobody feels awkward about posting their own name. Just give me a second.

[ OOC: I'm not going to post unplayed characters' names or freshmen obviously but assume they're here also and people are saying nice things about them. ]

I have an idea.
Maybe this entire school should just wear those masks all the time.
And then the anon post would lose all its novelty.
And then we wouldn't have to deal with this every month.

Did I just become rich.

[Warded to Ravi]

I feel so
I think everyone thinks I'm annoying
That say something nice post doesn't mean that
I dropped the ball and the anon post was a festering pile of
I'm sorry about that creep that was so gross



Do you think sometimes people think I'm annoying?

Are you ok Here's your unasked for check-in. Don't read the anon thing, if you haven't.
If you have. Nothing's changing. I'm not doing anything differently because of anonymous people. Same as always. I never listen to people who can't say their own names.
Just so you know.
Here if you need.

So what the fu

That was an [...] interesting turn of events. Thanks for that post, Reece.

I'm starting to really hate the New Moon. And to avoid my journal whenever it comes around.

Let's do a topic change, eh? Anyone have any exciting plans for Spring Break?

[Ulysses]

Stay off the Anon post! I didn't think I needed to tell you that.

[Reece]

Thank you :)

Agent Larke has your journal, right?
