[Filtered to Lucretia]

Merlin. I was wrong about Cassiopeia. She isn't entirely hopeless.

[Cassiopeia Black's diary, private]

I do believe that's the worst thing I've ever done. I want to say it's not my fault or he made me so angry, but the fact is that I was irresponsible. He's a child. He's the same age as Marius at home and - oh. Perhaps it isn't the worst thing I've done. Arcturus can defend himself, after all. I always thought I was helping Marius but none of it did a bit of good.

Pollux says it's the only way to learn and I understand that. He's right. He's done much worse to me than I did today, after all. Only there's a difference between Pollux teaching me and me getting annoyed at Arcturus, isn't there? He's thirteen. Even if he was near-enough trying to insinuate that I haven't enough magic myself and telling me that his generation would be ashamed of me. That's not right, is it? He shouldn't talk to me that way. That he thinks it - I don't know what to make of the fact that he thinks it. Don't I know that I'm a disappointment? Not for my magic, of course. That's ridiculous. But other matters, that I haven't much control over at all.

I can't let it trouble me, can I? I want to talk to Pollux, but he's so terribly busy with all of this going on, the last thing he needs is to listen to my problems. It's not as if Arcturus was even upset by it. Once I helped him up, he congratulated me. Terribly strange. Even so. He's a child, and even if I am too, really, I shouldn't relate to him that way.

I have to be responsible and that means not losing my temper. I have to see about the finances and be sure the house runs smoothly, and look after Arcturus properly instead of being childish and quarreling with him, and try to make sure Lucretia stays safe even if she won't live with us. It's an awful lot. But then Pollux has Sirius to deal with again, and probably James Potter too, and I don't envy him that. He and I will have to help each other now, won't we? We'll have to get along. Merlin, we can hardly set an example to the others if we're arguing too.

Arcturus keeps saying we'll be home for Christmas. It's his way of failing to accept the situation, of course. Even so, I wish he could be right about that.

I am not going back to that school. They try to teach some of the most ridiculous things and when you try to point out the incorrect information, they threaten you with some kind of disciplinary action. Disciplinary action?! For speaking the truth?! I know the history of Louisiana and different witch trials a lot better than most people and she was wrong. That bitch should be very relieved that I kept my temper and left when she decided to send me to the damn principal.

I came home instead and I refuse to go back. Surely there are people that are willing to be tutors? Elijah? Klaus? I'm sure you could tutor me in anything I need to know like Marcel did?

Hey, peeps!

My name is Darcy Lewis and I arrived in this fair town last night. Wasn't expecting to be here, but I like to make the most of things!

Where do I go to meet all the hot guys and gals? What do I need to know to have fun around here?

Speaking of the money, it occurs to me to wonder:

Where is it coming from?

There's enough of us that it's tens of thousands of dollars, and this isn't a large town. Is it given to them by whomever brought us here (in which case I want a raise in my 'allowance', thanks) or is it from the actual town?

Ok, just a clarification as I was thinking through the rules today. :D

For people with over ten characters - you are permitted the maximum number of characters you've been approved. For instance, if right now you have 14 characters, and you decide to drop three of them, you can apply for three more characters without an activity review, or waiting two weeks.

This is because I've already said that it was okay for you to have that number of characters, and unless something has changed drastically, it's still okay for you to have that many.

It would only be when you wanted to add another - from 14 to 15, for instance - that you'd be subject to an activity review, and the two week waiting period as in the rules.

Hope that makes sense!

Can we get together for tea sometime soon?

Nobody gives you money and a place to live for nothing. No one.

So what is this place, how did we get here, and what the hell do they want from us in return?

I think that I should like to host a proper dinner party and hear the stories that you have from your times.

I saw Gale's here. I figured you'd want some time with him, so I'm going to help Mr. Horst with the preparation and stuff tonight. I'll be at work from about 1am to about 2pm tomorrow. There's food in the fridge, should be enough for both of you.

Have a nice time.

As far as wrong turns go, this was pretty epic.
