Gooseberry High

Mr. Elmasry is so nice! Did you know he builds model ships in bottles? I don’t know if he uses magic or does it by hand, I didn’t think to ask, but he has so many in his room! He must have been doing it for a long time. He even gave me one after he gave me one of his shirts to wear!

I don’t know if my shirt will ever recover, but I feel like this was a very memorable Ides of March.

( Cut for quid spoilers - not an ic cut )

So, what is everyone doing for spring break?

[Junior Ribbonfins]

Are any of you guys playing the murder game?

who: Rosy Stoker & Chloe Shepherd
what: Rosy is slightly stoned. Chloe has snacks. Mild bonding occurs over international Oreos.
where: Junior Ribbonfems’ cabin.
when: Not long after midnight after the dance.
warnings: Rosy is too stoned to watch her language. Chloe's diet is honestly upsetting.

( everyone knows prefects can only see you when you move; they are exactly like t-rexes )

That video this morning was weird. Not the Ring video, the other one of the woods. Nothing was even happening, but it was weirdly compelling. I wanted to go see but Rosy


[Added about fifteen minutes later, after Chloe is properly awake]

What- [Inkblotch] WHERE IS MY STUFF?

OMG THERE IS WIFI!!!!

But it doesn't go to anything except the dumb Ring video!

UGH I am dying!!



But if anyone wants to watch the video just lmk and you can borrow my tablet or something.

Well, I mean, I kind of expected something to happen on Friday the 13th here, I'm just glad it's not something super scary. I mean we got Jason out of the way back in October.

And at least everyone in my cabin likes each other, which is lucky! Maybe we could do something fun? I've got movies and snacks. Or, you know, we could study. :P

So, for Christmas, my parents got me a camera! I also had to get glasses. :(

♥!

Have you So, should we tell people?

( Who is ready for a party? Tabs and her friends are ready for a party... )

I'm not trying to question authority or anything, but I don't really understand what all the fuss is about the sledding. I mean, maybe I just don't understand something because I'm muggleborn, but quidditch seems just as dangerous? I mean, you're way up high on brooms jostling each other, and there are two iron balls enchanted to attack you and try to knock you off your broom. People get hurt plenty at that, right? And there were broken bones and concussions from hockey the other day, too.

And I get that there was underage drinking, and people were hurt and there was no healer on hand, but if people do this every year anyway, why don't they just turn it into a school sanctioned event? Staff being there would keep people from drinking, and Mufferaw could be there to fix any injuries.

Or is it just that we're only allowed to endanger ourselves for sports? You're allowed to get a concussion as long as it's something you can win at?

At least classes are canceled...?

[Finn Junior Girls]

I've got lots of snacks and extra blankets. I think we can safely manage to never leave our cabin until Christmas break.

[Kurt]

I'm really sorry

[...]

[Kurt]

Hahahahahahahahaha. That was uh funny, right?

Aw, all this stuff you guys brought is so nice!

( Not an ic cut )

The ice cream was my favorite. ♥

I'm not sure I'm ever going to drink again.

[Finn Jrs + Trixie]

Is this normal????

[Riley]

I Why did

[Kurt]

Are you okay??

Can I come cuddle? :(

( It wasn't much, but it was a start. )

Well, the dance was surprisingly fun! The decorations were amazing!!

And ty to whoever took my aliens suggestion to heart! :)

[Riley]

[Chloe has doodled chibi versions of herself kissing Riley on the cheek, with a heart overhead.]

[Kurt]

Hey, are you okay? You ran off awful fast, and I didn’t see you again.

Did you have a good time with Pippa??

[Cole]

Hi, Cole!! I’m Chloe. I talked to you on the anonymous post!

Do you still want to collaborate? :)

Who: Chloe Shepherd & Kurt Wolfhart
When: Friday, October 29, after mud wrestling.
Where: Walking back to the Ribbonfin camp & more ♥-to-♥.
What: Chloe walks Kurt back to camp after the excitement of punching his bully in the face.
Warnings: More cavities, etc.

( He wasn’t entirely sure why he’d decided to do any of it; ‘I wanted to try new things’ is why you put Sriracha on apples, not why you enter a stupid wrestling match. )

WHO: Chloe and Robin
WHAT: Robin gets his 3DS back, and even though he makes her cry, they still end up friends?
WHEN: October 26th
WHERE: The gardens
WARNING: Robin’s in it, so language.

( Did she just say aliens? Oh ho ho. )

I um got a... weird creepy box with my name on it. I don't know if I should open it. Should I ask a prefect? Should I ask a teacher?

[...]

Nevermind I opened it. It's just got mostly random junk in it? Bunch of random batteries, a broken PSP, a broken flashlight (and one that does at least work!), and an Evanescence CD.

Oh, and someone's 3DS! It's red and it's got the initials RMY carved on it? It works, I turned it on. If it's yours, I'm going down to the garden with Marilyn to draw, you can meet me there to get it.

Trixie, the broken flashlight is rusted and the PSP’s screen is busted, but maybe you could use the parts for something?

[Private to close friends; Junior Ribbonfinns, Riley, and Trixie basically. And anyone else I forgot, if you feel your character should be there, jump on in.]

Do you think someone is making fun of me for blowing the power??

( You’re freaking me out. What’s wrong? Did you murder someone and you need me to help you hide a body? . . . Did you tell the anonymous writer your deepest darkest secret? Did you tell the anonymous writer that you murdered someone? Oh, did you murder the anonymous writer? )

Maybe things will settle down now?

[Kurt]

Can I come stay in your cabin? Rosy is... upset. She told me to fuck off and broke things.

I AM SO SO SORRY!
