I'm looking forward to seeing all of you. It's [...] been far too long since we've all been in one place together. Any surprises I ought to be looking out for?

[Warded to Big Fish 2015]

Who's coming tomorrow and what are the chances we can find one of Ferdie's old posters still hanging up somewhere?

[Warded to Rosy and Ferdie]

Does it all feel a little [...] odd? Journals out of nowhere, anonymous messages again.

How is everyone? Are you all safe? I'm with Rosy.

I spoke with Ennis. Avery said that Gwen was with her. Ferdie said he's with Nia. I think Kurt and Newt and Sandy were on the first bus. Can anyone confirm that?

Has anyone heard from Chloe or Yancey? I had one of Yancey's swords with me when I woke up and I [...] don't know what that means.

[Ferdie]

Be careful out there. We just ran into one of them and it was [...] awful. It didn't try to hurt us, but it's going to move us. I don't know where.

I'm trying to be brave. Isn't that what everyone's mantra is? I'm trying. I don't know how well it's going.

[.......]

Please tell me you're real.

Not dead yet. Sorry to disappoint, Freshmen.

[Event Committee]

We're a week out from prom. I hope everyone who wants a date has one, but more importantly, this is your last chance to express any opinions one way or the other about decor, activities, food, music, etc that you'd like to see at the dance. We'll see what we can do to accomodate requests, but I'm afraid it's still unlikely we'll manage to get a ferris wheel.

Also, I wanted to thank Lucas for helping educate us all on the significance of May 4th and remind everyone that my offer to host your dream event using club resources is still open.

[Chloe]

Roomies for prom?

[Ferdie]

So I [...] So I finally opened these letters.

Good luck with the match today. The room's lonely. You're all terribly missed.

[Rosy]

Have they been spotted yet?

Today is the final day to submit nominations for prom court. Staff will then deliberate and voting should open shortly after.

We're still tallying the results of the first round of Let's Steal Prom! I hope everyone enjoyed themselves and that they'll attend the next round in two weeks. If you have any feedback on the competition, please don't hesitate to speak with me.

Finally, we're roughly a month out from prom, which means promposal season is starting. Don't disappoint, Gooseberry.

[Event Committee]

Now that everyone's had a sampling of what a Casino Caper themed prom could entail, I'd like to once again return to the topic of dance themes. JD has suggested the 1920s as a possibility and I think we could easily weave a decades theme in with another theme, or present it as a standalone theme. We also have an extensive list of options submitted by Jade and Lucas.

Additionally, while you haven't gotten rid of me yet, I'd like to offer any of next year's presidential hopefuls a chance to impress Mr. Hightower and put together their "dream event" with the backing of Event Committee's resources in the next couple months leading up to graduation. Speak with me if you're interested.

[Rosy]

Any new thoughts on our secret project?

[Ferdie]

[...] How are you faring after last night's scare?

A few quick announcements:
The first round of Let's Steal Prom! has been scheduled for this Sunday with plenty of time to spare before the Quidditch match. Hopeful miscreants have until this Saturday to sign up to participate. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the event.

Nominations for prom court will be closing a week from today on the 24th. Staff will be reading the nominations, so this is an opportunity to highlight the accomplishments of your friends and classmates. Or simply let them know how cute your boyfriend is, if you prefer.
[Big Fish]

Yes, I do realize it's just a horrible popularity contest, but I'd still like to see one of us on the ballot again this year. Unless you're all dying to vote on who your favorite Azurcrest is.

I realize we all lose our heads a little during prom season and a certain level of playful antagonism is expected among participants. That said, blatant bullying is entirely unacceptable and I'll be removing any posters that I deem inappropriate. If, for some reason, a poster that you've made about yourself is removed, then you can come speak with me about having it returned.

Good luck to Ribbonfin at today's match.

[Warded to Ferdie]

Do me a favor and talk to me about anything other than prom.

If you've somehow missed the flyers, prom season is officially upon us and nominations for prom court are now open. We're also introducing a new competition series to nab a pair of crowns in a more unorthodox manner, but still very much in the spirit of Gooseberry. You can find more information for both posted in the lodge, but I'm always available for questions as well.

Additionally, a belated thank you to everyone who came out for Muddy Twister. I hope to hear we've begun a new Gooseberry tradition next year.

[Warded to Event Committee]

And we're off. We've got two months left to make this dance happen. I've some ideas for potentially expanding on the heist idea for full blown prom, but now's the time to start putting forth any serious ideas for discussion and consideration. If there's any other topics you'd like to discuss, please don't hesitate to bring them up.

[Warded to Ferdie]

I'm going to stuff the nominations box with your name and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

Ready to pull off the heist of the century? Or at least this school year?

In the wake of the first dizzying day of Prom Court madness, posters have appeared throughout the lodge advertising an event called Let's Steal Prom! Closer inspection reveals that this isn't an anti-prom advertisement, but a new competition series sponsored by Event Committee for students seeking an alternative path to prom court membership. This year, two titles will be won by the team of students that can best a series of events to 'steal' their way onto prom court.

Very serious question for all of you:

Are we all making out in the sauna?

I'm sure you're all aware of what tonight is. Given recent events, I wanted to preemptively suggest the idea of all piling into one of our cabins or hanging out by the campfire tonight. No judgment towards anyone who wants to have their journal out and open. I most likely will. This isn't a call to sit in a circle and share all our feelings, but this way we're already together if anyone has a particularly hard evening and needs a shoulder to lean on. (If someone does want to share some feelings though, I'm here and I'm sure everyone else is.)

Oh, and I'm making cupcakes today if anyone wants to join me. Sadly just regular ones, but maybe I can convince Prospero to share some secrets with me.
