sorry if i worried anyone else today. i was at the grotto working on sketches and practicing charms for the play and i forgot about class. i definitely wasn't on the island, though, and i'm ok. except that i've got a lot of detention, i guess.

[...]

sorry.

I'm glad it wasn't you [...]

thanks z. sorry z.

i still don't get that part. about someone being on the island. i mean, everyone's here, right?

It's all right. Kind of a freaky birthday, though.

We're all accounted for, apparently?
Maybe it was a trick of the light.

the others say it's a ghost. do you think it's a ghost, z??

or, a poltergeist. i guess.

I don't know. I suppose a ghost or poltergeist is certainly possible, but it seems strange that no one's noticed it before.[...] Unless it's always been there, and no one's caught a glimpse till now? Something about that is kind of sad.

why would that be sad?

Being a ghost trapped on a tiny island, watching kids live their lives and go to an awesome school while you're all alone? Maybe trying to get someone's attention and failing?

oh.

[...]

yeah. that would be sad. maybe it's a ghost that doesn't mind being alone? maybe that's why nobody's seen it before? i usually don't mind being alone and i'm not even dead yet.

[...]

except for the waving, i guess.

Maybe. I guess things like loneliness (and time) probably feel kind of different when you're in that state of being, too.

I hope if I'm ever a ghost I get to fly around.
And that I manifest wearing something cute.

Neither do I. And yet I saw somebody.

Maybe it was a ghost.

We've settled on 'poltergeist,' actually.

Why? Did it do something violent?

Robin is theorizing.

of course he is

WELL SOMEONES GOTTA DO IT

HEY I SAID IT WAS PROBABLY A GHOST TOO

GOOD IM GLAD WERE WORKING TOGETHER ON THIS SHIT YOUR A SMART DUDE

HEY THANKS MAN

for real??

It's a theory in progress.

oh. how'll we find out, though?

Poltergeists aren't quiet, though. If there was one here you'd know about it.

I'm just glad you're okay.

Did you think of any good charms?

thanks ana. you didn't need to worry, though. nobody did. i was just stupid. sorry.

i think so. i've still got a lot of work to do to make it useful, though.

Of course we did. We wouldn't want anything to happen to you! And you're not stupid. People forget things all the time.

Can you share any teasers about what the idea is?

I am very glad you are all right!

What sort of charms were you working on? Can I see?

thanks gabi. sorry if i made you worry.

it's for wings. sort of. but it's not done yet. maybe soon?

Wings!!!

wings!

they won't be functional, but they should be visually stunning and unobtrusive for you guys if this works. i think it'll work.

That is fantastic!

DUDE you scared THE CRAP out of us!!!! Like NOT ME of course because I am sooooo totally calm and unflappable even in the face of my oldest friendbuddy possibly getting MASTICATED BY A BEAR, but like other people. Panic City. Overreaction Central. MELODRAMARAMA.

i know. i'm sorry. i'm really, really sorry.

i glad you weren't worried, though.

Aw man, it's OK!!!!! No one's mad at you about it. I mean I guess you got A TON of detention but detention is practically this dispassionate act, you know???? Like now you're SERVING YOUR TIME, PAYING YOUR DUES TO SOCIETY, so no one can stay mad at you.

That suuucks, though. Hey maybe I can get detention too and keep you company?????

really? nobody's mad?

i got so much detention. but i'm not even sure what you do during detention, though? is it that bad? and i guess i deserve it anyway.

you don't need to do that! i'll be ok.

I'm just glad you're okay.
