Ree's asking questions. Essie and I used the the "Early Morning Quidditch" alibi, so please don't say that. Or do, and we'll just all confess to a giant underground sophomore Quidditch fight club or something, instead. At least that would confuse them into submission.

I don't really think she bought it, but it's not like she can prove otherwise.

[...] We're not telling anyone else about this. Right?

I can think of at least seven people that would specifically go looking for it if we told them.

Baby Ghostbusters

[colemoss]

but there are people that wouldn't too.

Baby Ghostbusters

Cole. Please don't tell anyone.

If we decide we have to let someone know, we need to plan better for how to hand out the information. Simply telling everyone we saw [...] a ghost won't mean anything in light of what's that's been going on lately. After all, we knew a bunch of people got trapped out there for hours, and we still went. In fact, we went in part because we knew that happened. Everyone has their own reasons.

Baby Ghostbusters

[colemoss]

but [...] ok, calvin.

[Calvin]

what if i wait a few days and tell them i went alone?? could i say something? i've gone out there alone before. i don't think they'll think i'm lying. and even if they do [...] it's like you guy said. they can't prove i am. and i can show them what we saw without the camera too. because i drew it.

this doens't feel right at all.

The story will fall apart. It's going to become clear that a lot of us were out of our cabins that night, and our last defence is that no one outside of the group knows the truth.

We need to wait until this blows over and we know they've given up trying to catch someone for being out of their cabins. After we have some distance, then [...] I promise, I'll initiate a safe plan to get the authorities the information.

ok.

i think ree knows, though.

Cole/Calvin

[evercreep]

If she figures out exactly what we've done, it'll be up to her to decide if she wants to make things complicated for Essie, Micah, Jeffy, Solo, etc. etc. etc. But I'm not going to put them in the line of fire.

Cole/Calvin

[colemoss]

[...] i don't want to do that either. you know that. right??

Cole/Calvin

[evercreep]

I do. I know you want to help people, and Ree wants to keep order and be honest, but there are consequences. I have to protect my friends.

Cole/Calvin

[colemoss]

[...] it's not just 'people'. ennis is my friend too. and he used to go out there all the time. alone. but i'm not allowed to say anything to him.

Cole/Calvin

[evercreep]

I don't know how to stop Ennis from doing the things he does. What if this makes him want to go out and see for himself?

Cole/Calvin

[colemoss]

i don't know if he goes anymore. he doesn't talk about it as much. but i'm not sure. maybe he's keeping secrets too. like we are. [...] but i think if i told him the truth and i asked him not to go, he wouldn't go. so it's hard. lying to him is hard.

Cole/Calvin

[evercreep]

Obviously you want to let him know, and you'll clearly be miserable if I tell you not to. And I can't and won't force you to not do what you want. Can you trust him not to tell anyone?

Cole/Calvin

[colemoss]

[...] yeah. i would be. i think.

i trust en. like i trust you and micah. i don't think he'd say anything if i asked him not to. and i won't tell him who went. just that we went and what happened. so he knows.

Cole/Calvin

[evercreep]

Then I'm trusting you. You can warn him, but please ask him not to share it with anyone else. A lot of people are depending on keeping this quiet.

Cole/Calvin

[colemoss]

thanks, calvin. i won't let you down. i promise.

Baby Ghostbusters

[stclair]

[...]

Do you REALLY think it was a ghost???

Baby Ghostbusters

[evercreep]

[...]

I don't know what else to call it. It wasn't anything like the ghosts I've seen.

Baby Ghostbusters

[stclair]

I guessing Hogwarts doesn't have MOOSE PEOPLE in its forest either, huh.

Baby Ghostbusters

No, but some highlights include a colony of Acromantula, a semi-sentient muggle vehicle, magical wolf packs and a three-headed dog.
