[...] Can I pick anyone's brains about summer jobs? Who has them, and how can I avoid scraping gum off tables, as an otherwise deeply unqualified teenager? Anything cool in the Chicago area?
I'd like more time away from home spending money to support all of EC next year.. Two dragots a bunch of times goes quickly. And that's without buying mango accessories.
Who knew this is how my money would go.

[Warded to JuniorFinBoys]
I know we've touched on this a little and I don't want to sound like I'm harping. But I just wanted to talk about all of our prom plans. In that I'm going to take every opportunity to bribe you not to go to a grotto anti-prom.
Bribe ideas are negotiable, god help me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESSIE!!!!!

[Warded to the Baby Ghostbusters]

OKAY. So. I hope no one’s mad I didn’t ward everyone I didn’t want to leave anyone out but I ALSO didn’t want to get in trouble for I hope I got everyone that wants to do this but obviously we're TOTALLY OPEN to suggestions!!

SO we’re going out to the Grotto tomorrow night and we have to make sure we’re ORGANIZED and READY because it might be our LAST CHANCE to talk to 2. We need to know WHAT TO ASK and HOW TO STAY SAFE.

WHAT TO ASK:

We know 2 isn’t like SUPER GREAT at answering our questions directly, so we need to make sure there is NO room for misinterpreting. We want to find out WHY 2 (or is it BRoTHeR??) tried to trap everyone in the woods, and how to make them STOP. I know I have a LOT of questions, but we should focus on getting 2 to STOP first.

We could ask WHO trapped everyone in the woods (because maybe it WASN’T EVEN BRoTHeR or 2???) and WHY? Can they control who sees the Grotto and WHY is it only students?? Did they send the message to Pippa about PROTECTING her and from what?? Should we ask about the skeleton mines????

What does everyone want to know or think we need to know?? Maybe we can make a BIG list and then narrow it down!!

( added in a little later after some discussion )

HOW TO STAY SAFE:

No one is allowed to get TRAPPED in the woods!! I am DEFINITELY bringing LOTS OF SNACKS and WARM CLOTHES, but what else are we doing to make sure everyone is as SAFE as possible?? We had a LOT of ideas before (relays and maybe literally tying everyone together and definitely everyone checking in on the journals like every ten minutes or something) but we have to decide on probably at least ONE of them and work out LOGISTICS.

[OOC: Tomorrow night’s shenanigans will be an attempt only, with some baby jays getting a stern teasing. Stay tuned for details on the real deal!]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ESSIE

I have read that high heels were originally military fashion of the Persian army to better stay on horseback before being worn by aristocratic men.

[Ebonhide Junior Girls]

I have approximately three more attempts to learn how to walk in the stiletto heel shoes/torture devices Mummy has sent for me to wear to the prom. After which I may use them as target practice for my incendiary and blasting curses because I hate them.

That being said, they are very well-suited for my character theme for this dance, and I do not wish for any more failure than I have already faced this week. If you have any tips or instruction for wearing these, I would be most appreciative. [. . .] Even if heels this high are ridiculous and impractical and silly all the same. I do realise this. But that is neither here nor there.


[Warded to Damon Evercreech]

I believe I finally have an idea for my character for this dance, unless you would like to be surprised. But I am not as talented an actor as you so I have planned it out quite well.

At any rate, I am looking most forward to prom, I do hope you are as well. I have [. . .] needed a pleasant distraction from things as of late.

It feels like everything's gone back to normal, doesn't it? Are you o

[Warded to Sophomores]

Alright, classmates.

I need more than five and less than ten people to confirm for me that they think Todd Skynner would be a desirable prom date and/or that he's "cute". This is in order to surpass the record set by Jeffy Key, who has a remarkable 7 interested parties. Your opinions will only be counted if you haven't previously expressed a positive opinion on Todd Skynner's eligibility, but you're welcome to contribute in any case.
