(no subject)

[indiefolk]

By the way, Ravi is an untrustworthy scoundrel. When he does on that whole "oh I'm so dreadfully boring and I've never indulged in a single moment of fun my entire life" bit he's lying.

Which is going to make my next announcement a little questionable.

Does the approaching anon post make you nauseous? Do you wish you could stop checking it every five minutes obsessively to see if someone's saying shit about you or your friends? Well, I have a possible solution for you! Myself, Ravi and Cecil are organizing a Voluntary Journal Confiscation Service!

We've rigged up this trunk so that it can only be opened by the three of us in tandem so it's very secure. There's going to be another Anon Post Party somewhere (TBA), and if you want to party without the anon, just... give us your journal for the night. Easy!

No judgement if you don't take us up on the offer. We just realize that it's stressful and it can be difficult to resist when it's sitting there right in front of you.

FAQ:

• I don't trust you.: If you don't trust us, don't give us your journal. You're on your own.
  
• You are a naive idiot.: You're not the first person to say that.
  
• People are going to talk so much shit about you on anon.: If they do, don't tell me what they said.
  
• None of these are questions.: I realize that now, and it's a little awkward, I admit.

Do you ever still wonder what your Patronus is?

[Warded to Casper]

Want to put in an hour or two in the music room? I think I've got True North down, but I was trying out a few of those RADKEY songs you showed me and I feel like something's missing. I could use your ear.

[Warded to Ravi]

Sooooooo.

I can't think of a way to ask if you're coming over tomorrow without it sounding a little crass.

But are you coming over tomorrow?

This would be an excellent way to learn everyone's dirty little secrets.

[indiefolk]

That's why it's being ran by two exceptionally trustworthy members of student authority and... me. (One of these things is not like the others, I know.)

[gdilevi]

Breaking my balls here.

Are we sure we can't finagle another trip out of them?

[indiefolk]

No judgement, Levi! Seriously, I doubt Cecil will mind if you don't accept our extremely generous offer to lock up your personal belongings.

[Levi]
Cecil and Ravi just get so worked up about the anon post sometimes, so... even if absolutely nobody else takes me up on this offer I'll call it a win.

Don't stress about it, have fun, etc.

[kingofthefairies]

Woah I kind of want you to take my journal but just so I can work on stuff??? But I also wanna PARTY

[indiefolk]

Less time reading the "hot goss" as they say, more time studying! (Or partying. This is, once again, a judgement-free zone.)

[knightly]

I disagree vehemently with Not-a-Question #2.

[Diego/Ravi - he's lying again, i'm sorry]
I'm sorry, what's happening tomorrow?

[indiefolk]

I think it's up for debate.

[Diego/Ravi - how did he end up dating such a snake]
I'm going to be alone in my cabin for two hours. I'll likely be in some state of undress.

[alapai]

Diego, this is... too much. You are too much.

[whatsthescoop]

You're not going to give him your journal?!

[indiefolk]

I've been known to go a little overboard sometimes, sure.

[addytives]

Another FAQ should maybe be ARE YOU/RAVI/CECIL GENIUSES!? (Answer: yyyyy)

[indiefolk]

I like "geniuses" much more than "sticks in the mud".

[tyhawkeswood]

Sign me up, dude! For the party and the journal surrendering. I'm so done with that mess.

[indiefolk]

Yeah, we've all got bigger things to worry about now. The end of the school year's too busy.

[solveforx]

You cracked the whole thing open, dude. Now the whole world knows just how crafty that Dhaliwal guy is.

It's a real good idea, though! Can't say I missed it last month.

[knightly]

All my credibility, destroyed with a few words on a page.

[indiefolk]

They'll never really believe me. It's that face. One look at that face and you can't help but think "Now there's a nice young man who never tricks anyone."

Yeah, same. It was fun the first couple months but then we all went stir crazy, I suppose.

[henshinyo]

Ah, this is a nice thought. I do not like looking, but I always worry that if I do not watch I will be a bad prefect.

(And yes, Ravi is very, very devious. You are right not to trust him.)

[knightly]

Honestly, at this point, there's very little that gets said on that post which seems worth a prefect's attention. I used to read it because of Anonymous, but they made it quite clear it does more harm than good to talk to it.

Amazing. Whatever happened to best friend loyalty?

[choneychurch]

Ravi is a complicated fellow...

I know not everyone will participate, but I'm glad we can give people another option. Last month was [...] a relier.

[Diego]

Sometimes. I'm not surprised I couldn't do it, though. I haven't taken Defense Against the Dark Arts since Lake of the Spirits.

[...]

Do you?

[indiefolk]

A lot of layers to that one.

Me too.

[Cecil]

Same, but... yeah I do think about it. Like, if I don't learn to now with the resources here at Gooseberry then I probably never will.

So I was wondering if maybe you'd like to try it again with me? I know you're really busy with your... everything going on in your life. So I understand if you can't. It's totally fine.

[casperkim]

Makes sense.

[Diego]

I do. But I got stomped by Ms. Lilywhite and my head is

[...]

You've got True North down, huh? Show me Diego Morales doing Bad Religion and I'll lend you my ear for the rest.

[indiefolk]

Are you planning on patrolling the anon post or relaxing with the rest of us.

[Casper]

Now I'm a little nervous. I hope I've got it as good as I think I do, but there's only one way I'll know for certain. I'm committed now, though.

[noblewon]

Diego, you're pretty damn adorable.

[...]

That wasn't sarcasm or condescension I swear. I'm sincere as fuck.

[indiefolk]

I'll accept it in the spirit that was intended. Thank you, Tess.

[notacad]

Sounds like a great idea! I'm in!

[thecourtier]

I don't think I've read those damn things for at least a year, but it sounds like a plan to me anyway. I'm in.
