SOPHOMORE SEANCE

Micah St. Clair proposes a seance in the woods with his classmates. Despite teachers re-emphasizing the ban on the Grotto only a few days before, sophomore students sneak out after dinner to make their way to the Grotto. Everyone is warned to avoid attracting attention from non-sophomores or getting caught. ALSO BRING YOUR COOLEST SEANCE CLOTHING GUYS WE'VE GOT TO SET THE MOOD!!!!!

In the middle of the Grotto clearing, Micah's thrown down blankets over the snow, and conjured two small tables. One table has lit candles for mood lighting and a bowl of burning herbs (or like, whatever, Micah grabbed something nice-smelling from the greenhouse). The other has a Ouija board and planchette.

Everyone who wants to COMMUNE WITH THE FOREST SPIRIT is asked to gather around the table and lightly place their fingers on the planchette. One person asks a question at a time, so as not to confuse THE SPIRITS. They can stay and ask questions until the prefects (hi Ree!!!!) determine that it's nearing curfew and everyone needs to go back to camp.

THE RULES

SOPHOMORES ONLY. No snitching and no party crashers! :(((

NO JOURNALS. We're setting an atmosphere here!!!! This also means that everyone is FORBIDDEN from discussing the seance with anyone outside of the sophomore class (although of course Micah can't actually enforce this).

TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY or get out of the circle! You're going to ruin the ~~supernatural vibes~~ they've got going here.

DON'T PUSH THE PLANCHETTE. We're supposed to be communing here!!! (That said, if a character is trying to push for a specific answer, just say so, but for the sake of fairness, I'll be limiting how many times anyone can manipulate the planchette.)

YOU CAN ASK ANYTHING YOU WANT. No making fun of anyone's question!!! Everyone's allowed to ask a ghost if there's anyone who wants to kiss them. :(

» ArrivalS: For making plans, sneaking out, or greeting your friends at the Grotto.

» The Ouija Board: WHERE ALL THE ACTION IS!!!!

» Observers: For those of you who are total wusses and don't want to MAYBE get possessed.

» Departures / Did You Get Into Trouble?: Apparently it's against the rules to sneak out to the Grotto????

Wait, we were supposed to wear a seance outfit??? Pippa turns up in her usual multicoloured hash of clothing, including a knitted bobble hat, with her hair in pigtails. She is dressed for WARMTH and COMFORT and also she's wearing sensible shoes in case she needs to run away. But seriously, after tripping on her Merida dress the last time, there is NO WAY she's wearing anything she can't easily move in.

Her eyes are twice as wide as normal, and she's uncharacteristically quiet. Pippa isn't sure this is a good idea... but everyone else seems to think it'll be okay? And she doesn't want to miss out? Just in case they DO get answers?

She arrives with [Volunteers!] because there's no way she's trekking to the Grotto alone.

	Definitely! Pippa feels much better in the presence of a prefect, even a bb sophomore prefect. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Essie latches onto Pippa once she arrives, but this doesn't stop her from getting caught up in the excitement and exercising bad judgement and crowding around the board once the main event starts. Sorry, Pippa. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pippa is glad to have her best friend to cling to, because she knows Essie won't make fun of her for maybe clinging a little too tightly. She doesn't mind when Essie pulls her towards the board, because underneath her apprehension she's just as keen to find out what will happen~~ (Reply to this) (Parent)
