I want to die. It's 1:00 AM for me right now, and I cannot convince myself otherwise. I'm giving up and going to bed. All your good intentions and recommendations about avoiding Portkey lag can shove off.

And welcome to all the new Ribbonfins. Either you're a kind and gentle soul, or you got incredibly lucky.

[Warded to Ree]

Ree, I think I know I recognised one of the new students.

The ginger girl. She was put in Ribbonfin. Penelope Nightingale? I don't rememb

I went to Hogwarts with her. And all the worst case scenario questions you're starting to form in your head as you read this? The answer to them is yes.

Sleep well, Calvin. I'm sure the house is glad you're with us for another year.

[reehobbs.insanejournal.com]

Are you?

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

I don't know if that's strictly true, but as long as you think it is, I suppose I'll just have to stay.

[sylla]

They don't work, besides. You have every right to sleep and you simply do not owe anyone anything else.

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

Thank you, Sylla. There's really no good way to make this less miserable. Are you staying up, or are you going to get some rest too?

[sylla]

I keep falling asleep and waking up and then dozing right back again, so I'm just giving into what my internal clock says it needs for now. Hopefully the vicious cycle rights itself soon.

It'll take a few days of feeling miserable in the morning. I hope this year I recover more quickly than last.

[sylla]

I brought plenty of tea and a kettle, since that tends to help me. Maybe it would help you?

[valentinez.insanejournal.com]

Rest in peace♥

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

You too, in, oh, another five to six hours.

If you could choose your method of death, what would it be? Asking for a ghost friend.

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

Accidentally killed by Stoker during a "harmless" prank so he has to live with my blood on his hands.

Oh man. Okay. Do you want damage control or do you want head-in-the-sand denial?

Calvin & Hobbs

I don't know! She's over in the girls' cabins right now. She probably saw me, and she's rooming with Flores. Flores is definitely going to tell her how terrible I still am.



I have to face her eventually, don't I?

Re: Calvin & Hobbs

[reehobbs.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, baby. You do.

So I think the best way to get in front of it is to write her. Be sincere. Tell her you feel awful about the person you were back there and that you're trying really hard to be better here, and you're not always managing it but it's a work in progress and you've got a bestie keeping you in line. Tell her you're sorry for whatever stupid shit you did to her.

That's what I would do if I were you. Because baby boy, whatever happened back home, all of that is true. Right?

Calvin & Hobbs

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

Right.

I'll do it. I promise.

Calvin & Hobbs

[reehobbs.insanejournal.com]

Ok.

I'm here for you.

[gabiflor.insanejournal.com]

That's a good way of welcoming people to Ribbonfin!

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

Ah. Well, thank you. I think it's fitting. Have you met your new

How was your summer? Hot, I'm guessing?

[alapai.insanejournal.com]

I would have said screw it and slept.

[cmdrchloe]

The best way to fix lag is just to hop to sleep and let it sort itself out over a couple of days anyway.

[cmdrchloe]

Also, thanks for the welcome.

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

Completely agreed. Have you managed to dodge it? This country is so massive, I imagine even some of you are suffering a bit.

Also, you're welcome. I saw you getting sorted. You'll have an easy time in Ribbonfin. Minimal rule breaking in the name of fun, hardly ever any fighting, and a refreshing lack of intense navel-gazing.

[cmdrchloe]

It's not too bad, just a couple hours difference for me, so its barely noticeable.

That sounds nice! The others were... maybe too intense for me. Particularly Coppertale and Azurcrest.

[all-apologies.insanejournal.com]

Didn't you sleep on the bus?

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

No, because when I was on the bus it felt like it was the middle of the afternoon.

[overturn.insanejournal.com]

And which one are you then, buddy?

[evercreep.insanejournal.com]

Well, I'm not charity's sweet soul.
