The Havisham Network

The news today has been a lot to take in. I hope it brings the Rohrbach and Johnson families much needed peace.

I hope everyone will join Fog and Dagger and OGF tomorrow for the end of summer blow-out.

KNIGHTS.

No matter what happens, I'm proud of us.

THEODORE.

We did the right thing.

Aaaaah, I can't believe there are only three weeks left for seniors here until we have to leave for good this time!! 😭 Or, well, those of us who are still here, anyway. But I'm excited looking at apartments in for September, even if it won't be the same without a moat or ball pit in the living room lol

[ FOG & DAGGER OFFICERS - OLD AND NEW. ]

I hope everyone had fun at the Shadow Key this weekend! It was nice getting to know more of the alumni better, especially the ones we share nicknames with. [...] But I think we all got that weird e-mail from alumni president Giovanni Rossellini yesterday. Three of us owe the rest of you an explanation, and we should have an officers' meeting too, if you think it's the right thing to do, Justine.

Dave, Sydney, and I found an [...] interesting ledger in the Shadow Key library on Sunday. Someone actually told Dave about it, kind of, and he can tell us more about that. Kenneth, maybe you can look at this for us, it has calculations related to the society budget. They match withdrawals from various society bank accounts, but here's where it's odd — some of these aren't real charities?? The Otherworld Children's Wildlife Fund doesn't exist on Unicorn, and that's the only one. I've never heard of several of these tbh

Anyway, we stole took the ledger back with us. That must be what Mr Rossellini is asking about, even if he's not being specific?? But we should talk about what this means, what to do, and how to respond. I can e-mail him back, since I'm still Vice President for now and can take responsibility for it if it doesn't go over we    Should we still send like, a bottle of wine again as a thank you gift for the retreat idk

Joyeux anniversaire, mon amour! Je t'aime!! 💙💙💙

JUSTINE, ANNIE, CHARLIE, F&D, OTHER FRIENDS

So this is weird and I haven't done anything about it but ... last night, I was out for a walk late night just because and ran into one of the ~ghosts~ and I ended up following her to the Grove. And found this weird spiral wind thing with some notes flying in the air and it looks like more notes from Lucy to M.

Should I go to campus PD?

You know what, fuck Magical America and fuck anyone who supports this shit. If you have even a tiny ounce of affiliation with that group or anyone that thinks like that, you can get out of my life.

F&D

You all okay?

I can't believe it's almost July!

Knights.

How is the puzzle solving going?

Theodore.

Hi.

Happy Summer semester, everyone! I'm looking forward to serving as the 2020-2021 Fog & Dagger President. I hope you're all as excited as I am!

FOG & DAGGER OFFICERS, NEW & OLD.

I hope you're all settling into your new rooms (if you've moved!). I know I love my new presidential suite. Officially, positions don't change over until the fall, with the summer being a chance to learn the ropes. I know we've had to say goodbye to the seniors, but f you need help with anything, Lior and I are here!

Let's meet. Is everyone free tomorrow evening at 6pm? We have a lot to discuss, like the Fourth of July picnic we're co-hosting with Order of the Golden Flame and the trip to Shadow Key.

THEODORE.

Hello, Other President.

Guys that government shit today was fucking wild lol. like if that's what it's really like why'd i always think it was boring?

FOG & DAGGER

SHADOW KEYYYYYY gotta hit the gym when we get back asap

we're all going right?

FOG AND DAGGER, OTHER FRIENDS (pls add yourself)

Hey guys, Idk how else to say this but here goes. I got a call from my sister this morning and things at home are not looking great. I don't want to get into the details here but basically, there's a family emergency and I need to go home tomorrow and figure some things out.

This means no Faerie trip for me and also Idk if I'm going to be coming back for the summer term either. But just wanted to give you a heads up. Feel free to text me but not sure if I'll get back to you right away. I know I'm being stupid vague right now but I don't really want to talk about it.

Love you. 💜

There's something therapeutic about screaming with everyone else even if the only thing I have to stress about right now is my grades. I'm glad finals are done for me and can't wait to go home for a few days. I have no big plans when I am home but it will be nice to see old friends.

[ FOG AND DAGGER ]

Anyone want to rewatch the MCU with me in the next week?

I have a feeling this week won't be as half bad as I thought it would be. (Mostly because I got all this information about all my classes ready and I feel much more prepared.)

Good luck on finals everyone! How do you stay calm during exams?

[ FOG AND DAGGER ]

Looking forward to serving as your historian next year. Congrats again to everyone else that will be serving next year!

THANK YOU SO MUCH to Annie's mother and Justine's father for the uplifting and magical gifts this weekend!! ❄️🌼🎶🐈🧚 We have truly been blessed by their kindness and generosity. The musical Winter flowers were so beautiful, and all of the Spring kittens were adorable, especially the ones with the cute wings!

[ FOG & DAGGER. ]

Hello!

You may notice we have someone new in Fog and Dagger!! One of the kittens followed me back to the Castle and I guess she chose to stay here instead of going back with the others. That's her in the photograph! Her name is Shoshana, but she mostly answers to Shoshi, and I guess she would be a Spring Kitten of Faerie, even if she's Ordinary and doesn't have wings or a lion's roar. She's very shy, but I think she'd like to meet everyone one day. Also, she loves water!

Annie, thank you so much!! Your mother is truly a QUEEN among queens! 💙

[ THEODORE. ]

Hi, Theodore!! 😽

HAVISHAM BAKING CLUB

One last blaze today?

AOIFE, ELLIS, ROWAN

Are you guys going to the memorial today?

KNIGHTS (added later)

Hey, guys. Is there anything you think we can do for Nate's memorial today? Rowan, can you do flowers? Maybe we can just gather some funds and donate it to the family.

[CLUB LEADERS & SOCIETY LEADERS & SGA]

I hope everyone is doing okay and that you know that the SGA is here to support you bros all with whatever you or your members need.

The memorial for Nate will be held tomorrow on the Quad at 6pm. The SGA has been in contact with Nate's family to try to plan something that Nate w special for Nate, and we wanted to know if the clubs and societies wanted to be involved in any way in the memorial too.

You can let us know now, or if you'd like to discuss with your clubs/societies that's cool too bros. Let us know.

[FRESHMEN & GUS]

Hey little bros everyone, Gus and I wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing. I know classes started up again today, so we're here for you if anybody needs to talk. Anything. If you need some food, we can get one that no problem, but I don't think it'll ever beat Anita's soup.

HS&SC is doing a pick-up game of basketball if you want to join in, or even come watch. Gus and I will be there, so come say hi, bros.

[SENIORS]

Just wanted to check in again with everybody and see if there's anything you need, or if you had any questions. I know this year has been a really tough one, and not the final year any of us had planned. Just know you you're all super loved and I've got a hug or a shoulder or whatever you need, for each of you. We've been through a lot together and we'll get through this too, bros.

Shout out to Justine for the best masquerade ever! Everything looked amazing, and everyone who helped did a great job!

Thank you to all who helped clean up afterward! You're all ⭐s! I'll be dropping off some thank you goodies later today.

For those of you who have summer jobs/internships/fellowships/mentorships et al, what are you most looking forward to? My writing mentor just sent me a lengthy reading/watching/study list and judging by that, it seems like it's going to be quite the Experience.

[F&D]

Everyone please thank the generous Aoife for the delicious Taco Bell buffet, open to all! She is too good to us and we don't deserve her!

[KNOWN FAELIKE (throw yourself in)]

So... has anyone thought about whether you're going to live mostly in the Otherworld or Ordinary world after grad? What about job-wise? I know a lot of us have different considerations than some folks.

FILTERED TO F&D OFFICERS

Hi!! I was wondering, has anybody said they want to be the house manager for next year???

Today is National Bat Appreciation Day! 🦇 Remember: DON'T use pesticides in your gardens because bats eat insects and you can cause irreparable ecological harm to these ecosystems! If you REALLY want to show appreciation, leave out some mealworms for them as a snack 😊 Mama bats are giving birth to a lot of babies rn and they need their sustenance!

FILTERED TO F&D

Hi! I got to talk to Josie Nakamura a little bit! She said that Emmy didn't approach her, that she found Emmy from Lucy's instagram (Emmy's is private but Lucy's is not) and that she still doesn't know who Lucy's ex is. (I asked her if Emmy told her "off the record" and she said no)

I think I'm going to go through all the comments on Lucy's IG posts and go through her followers to try to find the ex. Who wants to help?

This is late, but THANK YOU!! to everyone who came out to Faerie Good's Faerie Wings Charity run last Saturday! 🧚🧚🧚 Whether you ran, sponsored, or cheered on the sidelines, it was amazing seeing so many people supporting the faelike. We hope it'll become an annual event!

Also, College Progressives' Fight Against Hunger fundraiser is on Sunday!! It's sooo much fun and a great cause, I still have the the last two bowls I made lol. I'm really excited about the storybook I chose for the masked ball tomorrow too! It's a childhood favourite by a faelike team about a half-faerie Prince of Autumn and his werewolf knight going on a fairy tale quest and having a cute gay romance 💙💙💙 What book did you choose, if you're okay with sharing??

[ FAERIE GOOD. ]

Thank you for all of your hard work for the charity run, I'm so proud of all of you!! 😊 How do we feel about watching a film together? Annie suggested Mary Poppins, I can book the auditorium, bring your own snacks, etc. There are a lot of events next week, but would Monday night work?

[ FOG & DAGGER. ]

Justine, I got the enchanted white wine for tomorrow! Octavia, what did you find for the spells? My alchemist aunt's transmutation process for wine-water conversions is too complicated, but my grandmother wove a spell for a sigil that's activated by burning grape leaves in a ritual. It renders the alcohol in drinks inert, and even non-spellcasters can use it.

Sebastian, are you okay?? I think you had another vision earlier today, but I didn't catch the exact wording. Did we ever figure out what the last one about the pale and green lady (?) waiting was about, or if it already came to pass? Are they waiting for the same thing??

The Ball is this Saturday. Are you excited? I'm excited! If you didn't get an invitation and want to attend, let me know, and I'll see what I can do!

On that note, I'm looking for volunteers to walk intoxicated people home after the Ball. I don't want anyone walking home alone. There will be a sign up sheet for this in the Castle tomorrow morning. Thanks, loves!

KNIGHTS

Hi guys! I think I'm all set for Saturday (thank you!) for most things, but I could still use 1-3 volunteers who are willing to stay (relatively) sober during the Ball. (I know, I know!) It's out first big party since the beach party, and I know I don't want another scare like that. Basically, what I'm looking for is for a few people to keep an eye on everyone to make sure no one gets too drunk. Otherwise, if you're looking help, you might ask Ellis if he needs help with cleanup.

SYDNEY & ROWAN

Any interest in designing fairytale-themed cocktails for the Ball?

KNIGHTS

Wait but what if Emmy is "M"?

Just as a reminder, Faerie Good's FAERIE WINGS CHARITY RUN is TOMORROW!! The full details are here and you can still register to run or sponsor an individual or team here. It's not too late, and bc of the issues on campus this week, we'll accept donations until next Saturday. Prep starts in the Quad at 11AM and the run kicks off at 12PM. Bring your own faerie wings, but we'll also have some made by our talented members! Gigi and Kenneth have a lot of fun surprises planned for the run too 🎉🎉🎉

EVERYONE IS WELCOME!! You don't have to be an athlete or faelike yourself to participate or support us! 🧚🧚🧚 We'd love to see as many people come out as possible, and the donations will go towards grassroots faelike causes and to help Faerie Good support a work-study position to help faelike students.

We'd love to know if you'll be there! If you have any questions or concerns, please ask! THANK YOU!!

[ FOG & DAGGER. ]

Justine, Rowan, and Sydney — the masked ball invitations are sooooo beautiful and AMAZING!! This is so exciting, and you're all so talented! 🌹🌹🌹

Anyway, I just got back from home this morning! There are desserts in the kitchen!! I'm also hoping a lot of you will participate or come out to support the Faerie Good charity run tomorrow!! There are quite a few faelike and Faerie Good members in our society, so it would mean a lot to everyone 💙💙💙 You can do it as an individual or a team, and if anyone wants to do a Fog and Dagger team in some way, let me know!! Some alumni might be willing to sponsor society members too, if that helps.
