Gooseberry High

( School owl for Jesse McBride )

[After Jeffy chases Quinn into the cafeteria]

Could someone do me a favour? I'm in the cafeteria and I [...] need my things from the library. I'd owe you one.

[WARDED TO: TY HAWKESWOOD]

Hey. Do you know what dates we're supposed to be in Mexico for? And are you still alive? As always, I'd be more than happy to avenge you.

[WARDED TO: TY then JESSE then LEO then RAFAEL then finally NATE BIRD; added just before dinner after she TOTALLY DOESN'T freak out in the library]

[...] It's motherfucking Groundhog Day or something. Can I ask for a repeat of my earlier favour? I'm back in the cafeteria. Not a fucking word

Thank you, Gooseberry, for holding the Ilvermorny game before St. Patrick's Day.

[WARDED TO: ROSY STOKER]

Say that I I may have fucked up your So I spend a lot of time lifting wei [...] Park is in the infirmary. He'll be fine but I bet he'd love to see you make some smarmy comment about how much you obviously care for him if you're willing to visit. He'll probably also challenge you to a bullshit competition related to not showing care. You've been warned.

[A rough chart comparing Clem's Quidditch schedule for the week to Quinn's normal schedule, featuring 15-minute windows for meals and (stubbornly) just as much library/studying time as before. There's also one-hour window in Sunday after the game labelled 'Napping?!' Quinn rarely naps.]

R.I.P. Seeing you for the rest of the week. It was nice knowing you, Ty. I'll never forget the time we spent together. I hope your inter-school Cheer ventures are a success. (Is Vee running you lot this hard?)

Totally unrelated, but does your entire cabin have a death-wish your cabin have a communal infirmary punch-card? "Five visits and the sixth is free" or something? I'm asking for a friend.

[Always excited to spectate an audition, Quinn updates her entry each time a cheerleader completes their individual tryout.]


What a thirst for life: it's CASEY PATTERSON tearing up the dancefloor! No one's surprised but they're all impressed. Shake it, Patterson!
— SCORE: 10!

It's nothing but a regular ol' Thursday for DIEGO MORALES, who flipped himself upside down three times in one easy move. Or did he flip himself upside down, and then rightisde up, and then upside down, and then rightside up, and then upside down and rightside up one final time? [...] What is "up" or "down," anyway?
— SCORE: 10!

Nothing can stop Coppertale cannonball HAZEL KEATING, not even Bill 101!
— SCORE: 10!

"Na na na na?" TY HAWKESWOOD, I think you mean "Yeah yeah yeah yeah!" Or does that sound dirty? Whatever. Watch those [...] springs-and/or-kicks-and/or-flips go!
— SCORE: 10!

Is it a bird carrying a disco ball? Is it a plane covered in gold foil? No, it's the unstoppable RILEY STAMPER and her limitless energy!
— SCORE: 10!

I may not know shit much about Cheer, but I know enough to tell that VEE POWERS is bringing at least four–no, make that five skillsets to tryouts. What a vixen!
— SCORE: 10!


[Warded to Ty]

Hey, could I borrow your Fancy Expandable Bag for a few days? Research.

Oh, and we should book the sauna tomorrow night.

[...] Those two statements are unrelated.

Today, all meals will be planned by the winners of the senior bonding event, Tess Noble and Quinn Cunningham. The house elves will execute the following dishes to the best of their ability, as selected by Tess and Quinn:

And now for a bittersweet announcement about intramural athletics...
The final game of the 2013–2014 Lake Gooseberry Shinny season will be held this Sunday, February 12. :(
We're going to make it special somehow. Everyone should come, no matter how warm-blooded! You know warming charms, you'll be fine. Park and I only have six days left in our high school careers to pester people to join hockey, so humour us, won't you?

It's the end of an era. Sigh.

PARTY RULES: AN UPDATE

• Tomorrow night (2/3/14) the party will begin at 7:00 PM, and will last until 12:00 AM.
  
  
  
  • Walk to the Grotto in pairs or groups. Do not walk to the Grotto or leave the Grotto alone after dark. Stay on the trails at all times.
  
  
  • The 12:00 AM curfew is strict. Anyone found at the Grotto at 12:30 AM will be written up by a second wave of prefects.
  
  
  • If you do not have someone to walk with, find a prefect.
  
  
  • There will be prefects present to help you home if it is needed.


• Two prefects from each House have volunteered to be chaperones. This means they will be abstaining from getting drunk, and will be on duty keeping an eye on the party. Please be respectful and do not try to interfere with their responsibilities, tempt them, or harass them. If you are in need of help, you may ask them. They are:
  
  
  • Azurcrest: Cecil & Quinn
  
  
  • Coppertale: Dom & Olivia
  
  
  • Ebonhide: Casper & Antonia*
  
  
  • Ribbonfin: Ravi & Rosy
  
  
• Stay away from the tree line, do not go into the forest. Prefects will be encouraging people of all sobriety levels to stay in the Grotto.


• As always: no fighting, no hard drugs, no disrespecting your peers, no climbing things, no playing with the bonfire, no fireworks, no weapons, clean up after yourselves.

[PREFECTS]

[DANCES WITH FOXES: Leo, Rafael, Ty]

If we learned anything yesterday, it's that my choosing Azurcrest was obviously the result of divine intervention because the Park–Cunningham co-Beater game is extraordinary. (Okay, and all of Team #2. We cleaned up, right?)

( HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CUNNINGHAM! )

I'm not sure who to ask.

I'm not even sure where the photos came from.

I'm not even sure if I want to know when or how.

But it was very [...] thoughtful. I think. Thank you? Is that what you say when you wake up to your face stuck on all of the girls' toilets? "Thank you?" I can't say this is something I have a lot of experience with.
