[WARDED TO RIBBONFIN]
First of all, good game, Captain Davenport and team! You did Ribbonfin proud. That was a long, tough match, but it was very close, and you've put us way ahead of Azurcrest and Coppertale. Please enjoy a well-deserved rest. And Captain Ogletree and squad, that was a fantastic routine. I'm astounded that you maintained your cheer for so long. Tabitha, do you want to talk

[...] I'm on unofficial house business. Mr. Hightower tipped me off that, due to the recent thefts around school, there will be searches of cabins and lockers tomorrow. I'd like to hold onto my fervent belief that you are all innocent angelfish who have never, ever broken a rule, but in the off chance that you aren't, now might be a good time to dispose of any contraband materials you might be hiding? Let your friends in the other houses know if you must, but discreetly, please.

However, if you are responsible for some or all of these thefts, you can return the stolen items to myself, Sun-mi or another prefect, depending on whom you trust most. While these jewellery thefts are a serious crime, I don't wish to see any of your lives ruined over it. I swear that we will do our best to protect you if only you return what was taken.

[WARDED TO DIEGO MORALES]
Just so you know: staff is doing searches tomorrow. Lockers and cabins. Resist the urge to tease me for aiding and abetting a known troublemaker, and please avoid getting caught?

Okay, I won't talk at all about how I'm reaping the rewards of dating a prefect.

I've got a plan, don't worry. :)

Ravi/Diego

[knightly]

Of course you do. Alright, alright. I'll cease worrying, so long as you promise this plan isn't "drink everything in one night and pray I'm still able to do a Vanishing Spell on the bottles." And that's also not the plan of anyone else in your cabin. For the sake of Cecil's blood pressure, if nothing else.

Ravi/Diego

[indiefolk]

You know, I actually suggested that! But don't worry, the Very Sad Private Binge is a worst case scenario solution to the problem. Cecil's going to be proud of us when the Senior Azurcrest boys' cabin comes up clean as a whistle.

[un_kept]

Thanks, Ravi.

I'm assuming we will be kicked out of our cabins while the searches happen?

Ribbonfins

[knightly]

I think so. He wouldn't share all of the details with me, but it would probably be prudent to dispose of everything before breakfast tomorrow. He said he's telling me because they're "starting with Ribbonfin," so I imagine they're going to the houses one at a time.

[...] Why they're starting with Ribbonfin is a mystery to me. Get the easiest out of the way, perhaps?

Ribbonfins

[duelled]

Closest to the Lodge, maybe...? They can't actually think they'll find the jewelry here.

Ribbonfins

[solveforx]

Poptarts aren't contraband, right?

Ribbonfins

[duelled]

If junkfood is contraband, we're hosed.

Ribbonfins

[valentinez.insanejournal.com]

End of the line. It's been fun.

Ribbonfins

[solveforx]

Right? If that's the case I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Ribbonfins

[knightly]

Food is not contraband so long as it's nonperishable snacks sealed at all in an airtight container. I don't think they're going to be giving detention for some crumbs on your desk, but do me a favour and make sure there's no half-eaten poptarts lying around?

Ribbonfins

[solveforx]

Contraband or no, I promise no poptarts will be found after tonight.

Ribbonfins

[guthriegazette]

We're definitely all innocent angelfish, of course, but the tip is appreciated. You're always looking out for us!

[Ravi]
Haaaa, sorry for being the shame of Ribbonfin

Is everything going ok in prefect-land? I know everyone is on high alert because of the thefts, and with Dr. O'Hare and Agent Larke here and other...issues popping up, it's obviously been an intense month. Also how are things with Diego?

Ribbonfins

[un_kept]

Completely innocent, nothing to hide here. But just in case, I'm totally not going to be watching my roommates try and hide/dispose of things.

Ribbonfins

[guthriegazette]

The best way to show you care is to turn a blind eye, right?

...I'm kind of concerned for the other houses, though. Somehow I feel they wouldn't be having a conversation about contraband poptarts.

Ribbonfins

[knightly]

Thank you. I'm relieved to know how perfectly well-behaved this house is. Honestly, it's a wonder that Ribbonfin bothers to have prefects at all.

[Asher]
[...] I don't know. I won't lie to you, it's a lot going on all at once, and I'm worried. Why would Anonymous care about jewellery? It's just so... strange.

How are you doing? Do I need to apologize for forcing you to empty your flask?

Ravi

[guthriegazette]

I don't blame you. I'm always here to talk if you need me. I mean, it's hard not to be worried - after Ulysses, and all the other escalating encounters... I'm kind of worried for Casper the most The jewelry situation is pretty confusing; I know Ariadne had a bunch of heirloom jewelry, right? Did Katya as well? Maybe there's something particular about older pieces and it was easier to take it all and shift through it later? I don't know, I'm clearly just wildly speculating, which is not great.

I get a letter I'm fine, just trying to keep my head down so I don't let my curiosity get the better of me. Makes the whole cat thing a bit ironic, doesn't it?

As for the flask, I was wondering if you were going to call me out on that - this is why we're friends! Keeping me honest. It's not much so especially not a big deal. I will say though I love that I'm one of the problem children.

Angelfish.

[ferdie]

Dear my dorm. I will be out of the cabin for several hours tonight so if you don't have contraband, you will not need to hide or destroy it at this time. I would love to take points for dumb stuff so please don't hide or destroy it.

Seriously, thanks for the heads up.

Angelfish. (That icon is perfection)

[un_kept]

Thanks, Ferdie.

Angelfish.

[ferdie]

I have no idea why anyone is thanking me.
Good job today, though.

Re: Angelfish.

[thewakingstate.insanejournal.com]

Ferdie is an angel

and we love you

Ribbonfins

[knightly]

Oh, I'm definitely staying in all night. This is a good opportunity to figure out who's the most troublesome member of your cabin. I've already figured out who I need to be keeping a closer eye on.

Ribbonfins

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

Oh. Oh no.

Thank you for telling us. Not that I have anything to worry about. I do [...] lock all of my things up quite [...] securely, though, so I should take down all of those painful hexes security measures.

By the way, off topic, but is salvia contrab

Ribbonfins

[knightly]

Oh, I wasn't even thinking about that. Yes, that would probably be best. I imagine they'd ask students if they find any suspicious items, but... I'm not sure, really. We've never been forced to have a cabin search in all the time I've been a student here.

Ribbonfin

[orangepip]

I haven't even been keeping sealed snacks in my cabin since the BEAR incident!!
