IS ANYONE AWAKE RIGHT NOW?

THE MISTLETOE IS IN THE TREES
I went for my skate and now I'm stuck on the lake. Anyone want to be my knight in shining armour? I'm under one of the willows by the dock. (Don't actually wear shining armour; the freezing charms I used will only hold so much weight.)

Here, I'll even draw a map:




[The map is even less legible than it looks up there because Quinn is a truly truly terrible artist. Feel free to judge her. & The associated IC/OOC comment is here.]

Quinn. I'd love to save you, but I'll never be able to find you in that blob. Or is it a spaceship?

P.S. Are you really skating with your journal?

[quinning]

It's a map of campus!!

Here, look:



There's CAMP and the LODGE and then you go NORTH to the WILLOWS.

Yesterday I had to attack Hawkeswood with a snowball before he could see me on the balconies and I wasn't leaving my wellbeing up to chance again. I was skating with my wand and my journal was on the shore.

[dooomcookie]

Oh dear. The aliens have taken you it seems. This next picture illustrates it perfectly.

However, I will brace abduction to help you. If I can get there.

[quinning]

So selfless, risking his assho neck to save his friends.

[bornofwinterair.insanejournal.com]

I think I know where that is! Is there a swan honking angerly at you?

[quinning]

He hasn't started yet, thankfully. I added some annotations for Hertz. Maybe you're better at reading than he is.

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

I've already been caught once, and I'd like to avoid it happening again.

[quinning]

Sooooo... you're going to stay in your cabin forever?

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

Not forever. Just until winter break.

[quinning]

Aw, did I break your poor Ogletree heart yesterday? Are you moping?

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

Of course you did. I told you that you did. Ogletrees don't mope. We brood, thank you.

[quinning]

Oh, excuse me, brooding. I'm so sorry that I misrepresented the noble Ogletrees.

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

I'll try and forgive you, but first I need to get past the cruel rejection. I'll need time. You understand.

No, but, really, do you need me to send someone to rescue you?

[quinning]

I'm pretty tough to get over; see you in five years or so.

Thanks but no. Hertz is on his way over. If I'm still stuck in thirty minutes it might be because he got stuck, in which case someone needs to go and rescue him.

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

Five years? No one told me this was going to take five years when I first saw your face and fell deeply in love. This is horrible.

Let me know if I need to send someone over to rescue him, too. I know how to delegate work from my bed. I could make a career out of it.

[vicpower.insanejournal.com]

Same. I haven't left my cabin except to eat and sneak to classes. If I get caught again I might just stay in the cold to die.

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

I'm sure my teachers will understand that, even if I attempted to go to class right now, I'd never make it with all the woods and trees around my cabin. Well, I hope.

[vicpower.insanejournal.com]

How are they not canceling classes when getting to class means being stuck in the snow for some unknown length of time?

[quinning]

Because if they cancel classes again I'm going to go insane.

[vicpower.insanejournal.com]

I love classes as much as the next obsessive Coppertale, but I also hate leaving my cabin knowing I could get stuck in the woods to be eaten by a bear.

[isolate.insanejournal.com]

Because the more days of classes they cancel, they less days of summer vacation we get to meet national education laws?

[vicpower.insanejournal.com]

They should really factor in days for plagues given Gooseberry's spotty record with them.

[bambae]

Are you fucking kidding me. It's spreading to the lake?

IS NOTHING SACRED

Also, that's a shit map.

[quinning]

You just have to stay away from the trees by the shore, but then it means freeing charms have to be more intense. It's this whole big thing.

Hey, fuck you I'm not here to learn cartography.

[bambae]

Okay, so...

I mean if I'm quiet for like more than two hours, I probably broke ice and died.

And it's probably gonna be because your map fucking sucked.

[quinning]

I'd wait to tell you not to bother because your Ryan Hertz is on his way, buuuut I also want you to break the ice and die.

So God speed, little kit!

"YOUR RYAN" I can't <3

[dooomcookie]

 

idk why "wait to" is there. i can't word today. sorry.

[quinning]

lolololol I thought my reading comprehension was just fucked up

[bambae]

Oh no, I'm not coming to save you, I just wanna skate today.

...awkward.

But I know you fucking love me anyway.

[quinning]

Okay but mostly I hope you break the ice and die.

[bambae]

I love you too, Quinnifer. I'm secure enough in my masculinity to let you be the masculine one in this relationship, it's okay.

[quinning]

[...] Being called 'masculine' isn't anything new to me. Whatever, I'm just glad you're happy.

[excepting.insanejournal.com]

How is it that this is now Day 2 of this plague? Did I have too much faith in my teachers?

[quinning]

They're teaching us survival skills, which I think took up at least one bullet point in the pamphlet.

9:30 am

[jijmjr]

Just woke up. Hope you're not dead.

[...]

Did you make it to breakfast?

[quinning]

Aw, shucks! I'm feeling the love.

Really? That's what you're most concerned about?! (I'm in the Shed. You can have the cinnamon roll if you make it through the protein bar and banana.)

[jijmjr]

What I'm MOST concerned about is what flavor this protein bar is? Is it one of the peanut butter ones or the gross pruny ones?

But, for real, I'm glad you didn't freeze to death.

[quinning]

Blueberry muffin; I'm trying to trick you into thinking it's real baked goods. Is it working?

Even though I bequeathed my hockey sticks to you, despite them being too small for your giant height? D'aw.

[jijmjr]

I'm not that difficult to trick. Can I have a less phallic fruit, though?

Your puny hockey sticks would snap in my mighty hands like kindling for I am A MOUNTAIN AMONG MEN. Six whole feet of rock hard muscle. As unscalable as Everest.

[quinning]

No, you need potassium. Just pretend it's a dick submarine sandwich.

[...] My sticks deserve more respect than that. I'm leaving them to Keating, she'll grow into them.

[jijmjr]

I'm easy to trick, but not that easy. If there is one thing in this world I know, it's what a submarine sandwich tastes like.

That's a good call. She deserves them. Can I have your squeaky mittens?

[quinning]

Just eat the goddamn darn banana, McBride. It's not going to kill you.

They've felted to my hands so there's no way they'll fit your massive ham-fists. If you ask Gord really nicely he might knit you a pair. Like, really nicely. Maybe he has a yarn that honks...

[jijmjr]

Oh gosh dernit! Fine.

Alright, help me draft a letter.

Dear Spaghetti Squash,

How's the weather in Canada? I hope all that lake effect snow is driving up your yarn sales. You'll need that money to pay for your daughter's healer training. Or to bail her out of jail. Not sure yet. She's a really bad influence, you know? All that sledding nonsense was definitely her idea, but don't worry, I fell on my sword for her. You're welcome. To make it up to me, do you think I could get a pair of those sweet squeaker mittens? I wear size Ham Fists.

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
JESSE

[quinning]

I'm going to fucking kill you

[jijmjr]

Oh, you're right. How rude.


P.S. - How's Flo?
P.P.S. - What do you think of the new bachelor(ette?) ??
