It is a good thing that I am not Head Boy, because if I were, and if I ever found out who said some of the things written on the anonymous post, I would have you in detention until I graduate. Vector would need to take my badge from me to stop the endless parade of punishment.

[Warded to Ravi, Wes, Sun-mi, Ty, Levi, Reece, and Cecil.]

I was supposed to keep this a secret until Ricardo could tell two of you in particular... but I do not care. Ravi, Levi, you are going to be invited to the wedding by Ric. Ty, Wes, I am inviting you as my two guests. Sun-mi, you are being invited as a family friend. Reece... you are coming for obvious reasons, and the following rules don't necessarily apply to you.

• You may each invite a date. Except you, Cecil. You are the date. I am making assumptions by including you without asking anyone, and none of you will stop me.
• It will take place over spring break (March 11th through the 19th) but the wedding ceremony/reception/event will take place the 16th though the 18th. You only need to show up for those dates.
• You may come earlier or stay that final night if you like, but it will just be me, doing what I normally do. Except this time, it will be in Mexico and it won't work when I try to remove points. [...] I might take you sightseeing. But I can't take you clubbing or partying. I would get in trouble.
• Travel, food, and accommodations will be provided. There will be an open bar, and no one is going to ID you.
• Suits or dresses will be provided as well, if you are afraid you don't have something to wear.
• There will be paparazzi. I am not famous, but my family is. They will still take photos.
• Everyone will be speaking primarily Spanish, but many of them know English as well.

Any questions?

[Warded to Leo]

I have two questions for you.

[browbeats]

Yeah, that sure was a fun one, wasn't it.

[threatens]

Fuck detention. I'm gonna wring their fuckin necks when I find those fuckin cowards.

[browbeats]

Step one is finding them.

Step one is going to be, like, kind of hard.

[threatens]

This is what they invented shakedowns for, Ro. Pick a target, make them talk, follow the trail.

I could be like a fuckin detective or something.

[firstposition.insanejournal.com]

Some people had fun, I am sure. Mostly the people I wish I could make suffer face repercussions for their cruelty.

[bambae]

I dunno. I made somebody's best kisser list. That was fun for me

[browbeats]

I'm sure we could take a couple educated guesses as to who some of them are. They're the ones in disgustingly good moods the day after these posts.

That, or a hangover.

[knightly]

Would it be ironic or simply gratifying if your hypothetical tenure as Head Boy prompted a rule change regarding his ability to assign detention?

[Same Ward]
[...] I'm trying to imagine Ricardo's reaction when he learns you've preempted his wedding invitations with a bulleted list of rules.

[firstposition.insanejournal.com]

I would be proud. I would insist they name it after me.

[Same Ward]
He would hate it. It is why I did it.

Right before I leave I am going to tell him I already told you and Levi. Seconds before I step onto that bus, "By the way, Rico, do not bother sending invitations to Ravi and Levi. Oh, it just came up in conversation. They have all the details, yes. I handled it."

[knightly]

The Ramirez Amendment. Even better, Ms. Vector would likely ask you to help draft it.

[Same Ward]
Ah, well. I suppose you're only being a helpful brother. He and Cristiane must be dealing with a tremendous number of details right now. I almost hoped he'd forget to invite me

...Anyway, so long as we're doing things which would annoy Ricardo, I may offer my "date" spot to someone else, in case someone in this ward wants to bring an extra guest. I wouldn't mind.

[ninjaleo]

Maybe you should be given temporary investigatory power. I think a punishment parade sounds about right for this.

[Rafael/Leo]
I'll try to have answers. What's up?

[firstposition.insanejournal.com]

I would not mind. Cecil deserves a break anyway. I could take over. Everyone would appreciate him more by the time I was done.

[Rafael/Leo]
Would you like to learn swing dancing?

[ninjaleo]

They'd better appreciate you, too. You could do a lot of good. You already do.
[Rafael/Leo.]
Sure. If you come flying sometimes. I remember the deal.

[puphart]

I kind of stopped reading the anonymous posts... I guess I'm not missing much, am I?

[firstposition.insanejournal.com]

No, it is better you don't read. It's all very negative, mostly exaggerations and baiting people to argue.

[quinning]

Don't take this personally, but Head Boy Ramirez sounds like a dystopian future I want no part in.

[firstposition.insanejournal.com]

There would be much less rule breaking, because no one would have any free time.

[quinning]

Delightful!

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

Oh dear. I am rather glad I didn't read it now.

Usual asshole comments, or worse?

Same Ward

[tyhawkeswood]

No questions. Just a few comments:

• Thanks for the invite, Raf! I'm there!
• Anyone who doesn't want to be in beautiful Mexico for the entire week is crazy. Come on! Live a little!
• I promise not to get totally shit-faced at your brother's wedding. Even with the open bar.
• If anyone needs help with their Spanish, I'm fluent and I've got the time, so just ask. Será bueno para mi autoestima!
• Look, Raf, I made you a list!

Same Ward

[knightly]

Thank you, Ty. I've been practicing with Cecil, but it is a rather daunting prospect to get fluent enough to not be embarrassing.

Maybe in class, you could talk to me in Spanish if you're able to? I've been trying to get Sun-mi and Rafael to do that as much as possible, even if I only understand one word in five at this point.

Same Ward

[tyhawkeswood]

Sure thing, dude! And, honestly, no matter where you end up just making an effort to speak the language goes a long way with a lot of people and nobody's going to hold it against you if you can't engage in philosophical debate or whatever. Just pick up what you can, focus on the basics, dont' forget ¡salud! (¡salud, pesetas y amor y tiempo para gozarlos! if you're feeling fancy -- it is a wedding), and don't worry about the rest. Nothing to be embarrassed about.

Also, suggestion: Spanish LARP session. Come on. That'd be fun and educational!

Raf/Wes

[paytee.insanejournal.com]

So what'd I miss this time round.

And yeah I guess that sounds okay, kinda depends what's going on back home then, can't give you no RSVP just yet.

Raf/Wes

Someone listed all the couples in the school and encouraged others to complain about them. It got [...] very aggressive. More than usual.

It is very early, but I wanted to let people plan. There is no rush to answer, though.
