I'm not admitting going to the grotto, because I didn't, but if I had, I think we have a problem.

You guys know how people have been leaving 2 gifts? Like really nice, thoughtful gifts?

They're in the middle of the grotto, and they're in pieces. Like completely destroyed. Like someone threw a tantrum and left them in the middle of the grotto on purpose.

I don't know what the means, but I'm betting it's not a good sign.

Sorry about Potions today. Look, the smoke smell will come out of your clothes. And your hair. And everything else. Eventually. Que sera, sera and all that? At least class today wasn't totally boring.

My bad.

[Warded to Garrett]

You're not still worrying about The Explosion, are you? It's not a big deal. Plus, it was sort of funny? [...] I can feel you worrying from here. Anyone could mistake bdellium for belladonna. And everyone thinks I did it anywa

If you're still worrying after OE, I'm pushing you in the lake.

For real, okay? You don't need to worry.

[Warded to Addy]

Anything you've heard about me (or Gar) today is a filthy lie! We're still excellent Potioneers!


[OOC: SO. Rin and I realized this evening that the twins' timetables were built incorrectly. WHOOPS. Can we all pretend for the length of this post that there was a Potions class today or that this was posted on another day? I'd delete but there are about seventy comments. So. Sorry!!]

Not to be a wet blanket, but are we...entirely certain, under the circumstances, that a party at the Grotto is a good idea?

Or rather, it's probably never a good idea, but at least an acceptable one that has a decent chance of not resulting in somebody missing in the woods?


(If it is me that goes missing next as a result of asking this, I apologize deeply to my friends and kin for tempting fate.)

hey are you

So I saw they mentioned your

How are you

Is the anonymous post weirder now after what happened with the thing that tried to get into your cabin?

[warded to sophomores]

So. The Seance. Obviously happened.

Is this supposed to be a secret?

I mean, I made a note, took down every question and the answer we received, even the answers that weren't clear and the questions that weren't specific enough to get an actual clear answer. In case we ever need a reference, or in case something happens and we want to look back and realize that we knew it was going to happen all along, but since it was foreshadowed, we didn't know it was going to happen enough to actually do anything to stop it.

[Added later - warded to Leo Fiori]

Hey. I have a question. You're a senior so I assume you know the answer.

[Warded to Sophomores]

FINALLY CONFIRMED BY STAFF: There is totally a FREAKY GHOST* out there!!!!!

So here's an IDEA. I just so happen to have this Ouija board (don't ask me why**) and I think we should GO OUT and COMMUNE WITH THE SPIRITS and finally get some answers to this decade-old mystery that's been plaguing our minds for like... OK not a DECADE but more than a year at least which is a heeeeeck of a long time!!!

Also don't tell anyone else about this because the juniors and seniors will want to GET IN ON THIS SPOOKY ACTION and I think we can all agree that the seniors and juniors are some TOTAL KILLJOYS who'll bring ~~bad vibes~~ to a seance. Plus it's just way catchier to call it a
SOPHOMORE SEANCE!!!!!

*Or alien or fairy spirit or """unknown magical entity""" oooooor one of our teachers had dressed up like a REINDEER FOR CHRISTMAS CHEER and their holiday prank just got totally out of hand???? VOTE NOW!!!!!

**OK OK OK SO FRESHMAN YEAR I was working on this movie about how a bunch of teenagers go into the woods with a Ouija board and they ACCIDENTALLY summon a demon which has been looking for a portal into our world which they PROVIDED with the Ouija board and then the demon starts picking them off one by one until the Final Girl figures out how to Ouija it back to hell but PLOT TWIIIIIST it's just a ruse because the demon possessed our hero and it's just PASSING AMONG US NOW :OOOOO

EDIT: WE'RE DOING THIS TOMORROW!!!! Evening, before curfew. Meet in the Grotto!!!!!!

I hope everyone appreciates the time they've got to spend with their families.

Unless you didn't, then I'm very happy for you that it is now almost over

Wanna hang out?

That was the first day of our last semester ever.
We can start all the "Last ______" countdowns now.
But maybe don't.

[Warded to Casper]
Hi. I wanted to tell you that I talked to Ms. Rhee today. She told me about the fight with Solomon. I'm not here to lecture you about it. People I trust told me I didn't have to worry about it happening again, I believe them. I don't expect me to tell me why it happened.
If you need to throw bludgers at my head for an hour or two, I can do that instead.

[Warded to Solomon]
Hey. Ms. Rhee told me what happened with Casper over break.
I don't know exactly why, I just know it did, and I wanted to make sure you were all right. I know physically, yeah, but fights are a lot to deal with. Especially if you don't start them.
I know I'm not the easiest person to talk to. But if you want to, or aren't comfortable in any situation in the team in the future, you can tell me. I'll listen.

( WINTER FORMAL )

Is it really so important to have a date for the dance?

I think a serious discussion should probably be had about the number of quarantines this school has been implementing lately.

But I'm happy everybody's back to normal. Who wants to hear the complete history of love potions? that's a joke mostly

Told you this shit was going to happen. Girl I live with might be dead, can I have a ghost cabin mate? Webb, you need anything? Fuck that no I hate you

[Webb]

How dead are you?

Stop laughing you shitheads, it's not funny.

( OE WEEKEND TRIP - DAY ONE )

[Warded to Ebonhide; excluding prefects outside of Casper; Sorry :( ]

Tomorrow, I have a mission to do during lunch while the rest of the school is distracted. If anybody wants to go on an adventure with me. It'll be worth it, I promise. I mean, worth it in a secret kind of nobody will know it was you kind of way. Volunteers?
