I don't care what plans you have, we're having dinner tonight. Together. [...] Ravi can come if you want.

[Warded to Sophomores]

[...]

Do you think if we asked 2 why they got lost 2 would tell us?

[...]

Do you think 2 did it?

Or 2's brother?

[...]

Does anyone else think the Grotto is kind of scary??



[Added after a considerable amount of discussion]



If you're just reading this now, then you should know:

We're going into the woods again. To ask tell 2 to stop. Or 2's brother. Or whoever is doing this. Possibly on the New Moon.

We're going to be prepared this time. Bash and Solo, we need your notes. Or anyone else's. We need to pull together everything we know. We need to see if we can figure out why this is happening or figure out what questions we need to ask. The adults are trying, but they can't get to the Grotto and 2 and 2's brother are both really good at hiding from them. If we can't get them to stop, we can at least try to get useful information that we can share with the adults. Maybe. Possibly Mr. Merrill.

If you have ideas about how we can make sure no one gets lost, talk to Zach. The forest hasn't taken anyone from our class yet, so that's a good sign.

If you don't want to help, that's fine. This is really scary.

[Warded to Jade]

Thank you. For last night.

[Warded to Pippa]

I'm okay. Diego's okay. Jade walked with me over to Ebonhide so I could wait with Mina. I'm sorry I didn't say anything. I hope you weren't too worried.

2's never been like SUPER DIRECT with us so I dunno if they would tell us??

I didn't used you think the Grotto was scary. People go there a lot and they would be fine. :(

Sophomores

[magitechnically]

That's true. What HAS 2 told us? I remember it said there was DANGER and [...] someone said it would protect Pippa. But then this happened and [...] was this supposed to be DANGER or PROTECTING?

Yeah. I don't know. Maybe we can just have parties at the lodge from now on.

Sophomores

[bubblewrapped]

Just because 2 thinks or says its protecting us doesn't mean it's not also putting people in danger. We shouldn't ask 2 anything, anymore. It's not safe.

This stuff didn't happen LAST year, why is it THIS year?? Does 2 not want the seniors to LEAVE??

Essie.

[odder]

It's all right. I've never minded Ebonhide much.

Essie/Jade

[magitechnically]

Well thank you anyway.

[...] Do you have any brothers or sisters?

Essie/Jade

[odder]

He just turned 11.

[indiefolk]

I won't argue. But if you want, it can just be the three of us.

Morales-Trans

[magitechnically]

Ok, I'd like that. I'm sure Pippa would understand.

Morales-Trans

[wilhelmeana]

We can talk about you TRANSFERRING next

Good idea. I'll be there, bunny.

Sophomores

[nothalfplaid]

I think it's starting not to matter who's the "nice" one and who's not.




But we could ask.

Sophomores

[magitechnically]

Yeah. It's mostly just that 2 is the one that will talk to us.

Sophomores

[nothalfplaid]

The we talk to whoever talks back and demand some answers

Essie/Pippa

[orangepip]

Oh thank Merlin. You don't have to apologise. I'd have been really worried too if it was my brother lost in the woods. I'm glad you were with your sister. I always worry when something like this happens.

Cash and I are taking bets on who dies first.

Sophomores, post update

[magitechnically]

Thanks.

Who has the best odds?

Sophomores, post update

[quickbuck]

Cash thinks Hazel but I think she'd try to fight it so I'm gonna say you

Sophomores, post update

[longcons]

That's "best odds of surviving." Death predictions are top secret. We're doing serious math.

Sophomores, post update

[longcons]

Great, now you've biased the pool.

Sophomores, post update

[quickbuck]

I want to win big money.

You two know how to stay entertained.

nobody's going to die.

I have notes.

I suggest any question we ask be a direct, yes or no question. They need to be impossible to misunderstand.

I also think we should bring rope. And tether ourselves together. We need a system to keep track of where we are beyond the common land marks of tree branches.

We should bring a lot of water too.

Somebody should make a list. Best case is we go to the grotto, do what we plan to. Worse case scenario is we're lost in the forest for a week. We should be prepared for that week.

Jeffy had some good questions and Calvin and Zach had some ideas about going through what we already know. Like checking the questions 2 likes to ask on the anon post. We definitely need to put together as much information as we can beforehand.

And yeah, we need to try to make our questions direct. I'm not sure we can limit them to yes or no questions though if the question we're trying to answer is 'why'. But also, our top priority is getting it to stop, rather than solving a mystery.

Maybe we could tie rope to the trees themselves and then follow it back? That's assuming that the forest doesn't actually change and just looks like it does.

And yeah. Lots of supplies. I don't want to think about being lost a whole week though.

Great. Wonderful.
