Gooseberry High

Good morning, Gooseberry! Can I interest anyone in a game of mancalla?

[Warded to Senior Coppertale Boys]
Which one of you cheeky wankers put the pebbles in my jacket and how long did it take you to find so many perfectly smooth stones? What a strange prank. What does it even mean?

[Warded to Calvin, added later]
Cal, the lads think the forest creature put rocks in my jacket. Not sure how to feel about it. That implies it got into our cabin while we were sleeping?

This week is going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!

[Pippa]

I got an owl from my MOM and she said you can TOTALLY stay at our house for spring break!!! And she'll take us to a MALL so you don't just have to look at HORSES and DESERT all week.



And GUESS WHAT??? Diego gave me XAVIER!!!

[Diego]

You're the BEST brother!!!




But I'll still KILL you if I have to.

[Mina]

MOM said that PIPPA can stay with us over spring break and we can go to the MALL and I GUESS if you want to come TOO you can. DO you want to go to the mall???

How many people ACTUALLY did productive things this past week?

( MASQUERADE )

[Warded to New Kid Calvin's brother Damon Evercreech]

Or what's the OTHER NAME you go by? Dimitri? WHATEVER. You KNOW who you are.

You're taking me to the dance. It's on FRIDAY. I'll make ALL the arrangements.

UGH. We should've had class today ANYWAY considering all of the MONDAYS THEY'VE CANCELLED.

[Warded to Essie]

You were WONDERFUL yesterday, bunny. Will you be at breakfast? The answer is OF COURSE you'll be at breakfast, it's ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT MEALS of the day.

ANYWAY, I have SOMETHING SPECIAL for you.

[Warded to Diego]

What even HAPPENED to you???

( When Ravi arrives at the Morales Ranch this morning... )

A Mexican spotted owl flies into the cafeteria for breakfast, which Diego, Mina and Essie will recognize as Lito, Ofelia's personal business owl. He drops off a letter for each of the kids, and stops a moment to demand head-scratches and bacon from all of them.

[Posted right after this clusterfuck THANKS A LOT DIEGO.]

[Warded to Morales-Trans]

Essie?

UGH, I can't BELIEVE they'd schedule our bonding activity so close to the dance. Don't they KNOW that some of us have MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO TOMORROW????

[Warded to Isaiah Covington]

[Warded to Ebonhide]

Is everyone alright?

HALLOWEEN DANCE PLANNING
The FIRST official Halloween Dance planning session is slated for Monday, but it's NEVER TOO EARLY to start writing lists and teaching freshmen how to be USEFUL for once. I've written out all the things which need to be addressed first, since I know certain among you STRUGGLE to STAY FOCUSED on anything for longer than FIVE MINUTES.

• CLUB TREASURER. Hightower has signed off on the funds we've been allotted for this year, and we'll need someone to watch over how all our dragots are spent. Actually, SCRATCH that. I can't trust anyone except MYSELF with that job. SCRATCH me scratching that, now de Luca has treasury duties. If there are ANY complaints about her performance, relay them STRAIGHT to me.


• DANCE THEME. The MOST IMPORTANT thing we'll decide on today. Any variation on "oh HAHA what if it was like a SUMMER CAMP HORROR FILM and we made the lodge look like a SERIAL KILLER attacked" is getting you BANNED. Bad taste aside, let's try to be ORIGINAL, please.


• VENUE. As usual, the dance will be in the Atrium in the main lodge. It'll be ALL HANDS ON DECK for decorating the Atrium, since we'll only have the few hours AFTER LUNCH and BEFORE THE DANCE with everyone kicked out of the lodge. Thank GOD afternoon classes are cancelled.


• FOOD AND DRINK. Prospero has said the house-elves are willing to make ALMOST anything we can think of, so NOW'S YOUR CHANCE to get in suggestions for Halloween-themed desserts since like HALF OF YOU are inexplicably OBSESSED with baked goods.


• REUSABLE ASSETS. The EC club storage room has a BUNCH of decorations from previous Halloween dances, and the more of it we can reuse (with some FRESHENING UP, of course), the better we can stay under budget. A few VOLUNTEERS will need to go through the boxes on Monday.

We also need to discuss fliers and posters, music, the necessity of games or activities, acceptable standards for costumes, what everyone's DANCE DUTIES are going to be, but everyone ALWAYS starts COMPLAINING when I go over five discussion points so we'll LEAVE THAT for future meetings.

What the FUCK

Hey Honeychurch, nice job controlling your HOUSE OF DELINQUENTS. Just an AMAZING show as Head Boy so far.
