[Written in a shaky hand, accompanied by a few smears of blood that Hazel has attempted to wipe away]

Hey guys, we [...] killed mimic Toddy. He was really fucking strong and even mid-murder when we were sure he was a mimic he was pleading and crying and saying [...] some shit to try to get us to stop. We're ok. Just I need to sit do

Anyway. He used his journal. He had his wand, though I don't think we ever saw him use it.

Be really fucking careful, guys.

Oh yeah. Faculty sleeping in the infirmary. Can't touch them. Seem ok.

[Warded to Lucas]

[...]

Didn't really plan on coming out of here a murderer.



How are you guys holding up?

Medical supplies left in the infirmary if anyone wants them too.

Don't mind all the blood though. [...] Mimics turn to ash when they die but leave blood behind.

[lilwitchhazel]

Yeah don't go in there if you can't do blood.

[nothalfplaid]

I mean [...] I always thought the amount of blood Micah put into productions was kind of ridiculous, but I guess not.

[lilwitchhazel]

Make Calvin take a group pic of us for him.

It's so much blood. If I think about it too much I feel sick. Why do people have so much blood?

[nothalfplaid]

Fuck. We should. Horror selfie.

[lilwitchhazel]

Micah'll love it.

God, this is what coping looks like, right??

[longcons]

We're fine.

[lilwitchhazel]

[...]

Yeah, we are!

[nothalfplaid]

Yeah, he will. Can't let him down.

We're fine.

[lilwitchhazel]

He's gonna be mad he missed it.

100%

[sheepish]

But I wonder if Mimics spout out more blood just for the horror element?

[nothalfplaid]

Hard to say. Never seen a real arterial spray in person before.

[longcons]

It's a lot.

[lilwitchhazel]

I would like to vote we don't do that again unless absolutely necessary.

[longcons]

Next time I'll wear gloves.

[nothalfplaid]

Gloves wouldn't have helped. We're covered.

[lilwitchhazel]

Rain slickers??

[longcons]

And boots.

[lilwitchhazel]

Oh god I gotta blood-proof my cowboy hat.

[nothalfplaid]

I'll help.

[lilwitchhazel]

Can always count on you ♥

[nothalfplaid]

Yeah, you can.

[nothalfplaid]

Hazmat suit?

[longcons]

Smart. Then we wouldn't need boots.

[nothalfplaid]

Clunky, though.

[longcons]

Worse than raincoats?

[nothalfplaid]

Not sure, never worn a hazmat suit.

[longcons]

Me neither. Poor planning on our parts.

[nothalfplaid]

We'll be prepared for next time.

Oh my God. You're alive okay. I was starting to worry. Hadn't seen you on the journals in a while. [...] now I see why. Are you [...] god there's no way you're okay after that, but is everyone unhurt?

We're in the Grotto looking for one of the things Anon was talking about. On the way here we found a bunch of aurors asleep on the path from Ebonhide. Monet and Strangeways with them.

We're [...] okay. Everyone's giving up so much to keep moving. It's hard. God this is all so hard.

Hazel/Lucas

[lilwitchhazel]

[...]

Hearing Toddy saying all that stuff was just really hard. You know? [...] But we're going to have to do it again, to other people we love, so. Might as well try to just [...] be ok with it. Calvin and Fern both got a bit of glass to the face, but otherwise we made it out safe and sound. I am kind of worried about Cash, though, since he did the deed. But I don't know how to talk to him or how to help.

[...]

So a bunch of adults are asleep but Grimshaw isn't? Seems weird. Did you try touching them?

Also [...] we haven't had to sacrifice anything yet. Granted, we haven't made it that far, but, it's [...] yeah. I bet it's hard. Everything is bad and hard right now. [...] Do you promise you're ok? Like. As ok as you can be?

Hazel/Lucas

[bubblewrapped]

God [...] This goes beyond just being brave. Don't know. I wish I knew what you could do. For yourselves and for him.

[...]

Yeah. There's some magical barrier. I think it's what Anon meant when he said that he would protect our "parents." Tried to touch it with a hand and with a spear thing Noel made and it just pushed us back. Grimshaw being awake still [...] He must have something powerful on him, right?

[...] Bash had to give up something big. I don't even know what it was. But, it's gone, now. He should've rejected it. It was too important to [...] No, he was brave. I trust him. And we're as okay as we can be, after that. But [...] after that? We have to get the pieces of Brother back. We have to get whatever Bash lost back.

Hazel/Lucas

[lilwitchhazel]

[...] Yeah. I don't know what this is anymore. Brave doesn't seem like a strong enough word. And like, is it weird that I wish this was just last year all over again? At least then we knew who we could trust.

[...]

I hope Cash is ok after this. When Toddy's back. Because it was [...] a bloodbath. Thank god the bodies turn into ash. I couldn't look at that.

I feel a little better knowing that our teachers and stuff are safe. The other Aurors, too, that aren't asshats. We don't need anything else to worry about. [...] God, that dick must have something crazy. I don't know how else he could've gotten out of this. [...] And I don't know how we're going to fight him.

[...]

Give Bash a big hug for me, ok? [...] Give everyone one, maybe.

[......................]

And you have to promise me that you'll kill whatever mimic comes your way, no matter who it is, no matter what they say to you. Ok? You guys have to.

[odder]

I'm sorry you had to do that.
We're ready for them, though. A [...] junior cabin was pretty much an armory.

[...] We really shouldn't be telling people where we are over the journals anymore. If they can see these.
Not that they can't find us anyway, I guess.
Stay safe.

[lilwitchhazel]

Thanks ♥ it's maybe just going to be murder city tonight.

That's good! Just, like, be as ready as you can. And don't listen to them. And try to do it quick. They're strong. [...] Calvin decked him and it barely slowed him down.

I'm super concerned now that it definitely seems like they can journal, but we should coordinate to make sure we don't waste time all going to the same place? Maybe? I don't know anymore.

You guys too ♥ [...] Love you all.
