[Warded to Sophomores]
Pros of Regular Prom

Less likely to get in trouble for breaking school rules

Less likely to find yourself trapped in an endless nightmarescape

Less likely to die of starvation and exposure

The theme is kind of cool

It's at a freaking gothic mansion

Pros of Anti-Prom

You could become the thrall of a fantastic mystical creature that, even if it's actually hideous, will make you believe it's beautiful.

It's more dangerous so technically more cool.

Outdoor dances are more romantic, I think.

When you die, you're pretty much guaranteed to be famous assuming they don't just cover all this up.

When you account for the possibility of drowning or contracting ebola, starvation and exposure aren't that bad in comparison.

The Masque of Red Death definitely took place in a mansion and not a forest.

I hope this helps everyone's decision-making process.

Did you hold your wand to his throat?

I may as well have with everything that's going on with me right now.

CALVIN. Stop.

Ree's right, no one tells me what to do. I want to go to anti-prom. And so far no one's done anything except YELL AT ME for being a dumbass so I'm still going. FYI none of you are obligated to go to my funeral if I do die next week!!!

[...]

Right.

I'm going to go get some work done in the artificing shed. Meet me there if you aren't busy.

So I know we all keep joking about how we're going to die, but do you guys still want to go to the Grotto to tell 2 to stop? I'm guessing if you guys are going to Anti-Prom, you don't mind the idea of going to the Grotto, [...] but I didn't expect Ree to get so upset at everyone?

If we can get 2 or 2's brother or whoever to stop or at least find out SOMETHING that will help make this stop, then I'm okay with dealing with Ree being angry with me, but she's your best friend so if you want to back out, I'd understand.

If you don't want to be using your journal right now, I can come talk to you about this in-person instead.

We can talk here, I just didn't want to get into an argument with anyone. Especially not Ree. She's going to be angry no matter what, but I'd like to cut down on the yelling matches.

I still think it's important that we try. I know [...] some people think it's targeting me, but what if it was actually going after Dimi? Isn't it usually trying to get attention from the seniors? I don't want to sit and twiddle my thumbs just because someone might get angry with me.

Wherever YOU TWO go, I'll go!!!!!! [...] And like I know I keep talking about my FOREST MASSACRE documentary but I can take this seriously really. If LESS of us go then we'll need more people concentrating on the Ouija board which means NO VIDEO.

Orrrrr at least I'll put my camera on a tripod first?????

Thanks, Micah. I knew you were joking.

Camera on a tripod isn't a bad idea? If we do decide to give information over to the adults, that could help. [...] Of course, it would also be evidence of exactly who they need to expel from the school.

Yeah, I understand. I get why she's mad. It's scary. But [...] we may need to be careful about who we talk to about this. She's a prefect so if she's that upset she's definitely going to say something to someone.

Agreed. Just hoping that everything will get better isn't going to do any good. And I get why people think it's targeting you, but [...] you're right, Dimi's the one who saw something. It took Ulysses, but was that actually about Cricket? Every time it's interacted wth our class, it seemed more interested in helping us? So why would you be any different?

~~You're not dumb just irresponsible~~
~~You should do whatever makes you happy~~
~~Maybe since there'll be a lot of people at Anti-Prom it'll be safer~~
~~Just set the forest on fire when you're done~~

[...]

Do you want flowers or a fruit basket for your wake?

What did you cross out
WHATEVER I'm not changing my mind

Lucas Lucas Lucas. We're AZURCRESTS!!!! The only appropriate thing to bring to a wake is shitty beer and a bottle for spinning!!!!!!

Edited 2017-05-19 20:54 (UTC)

An Azurbest warrior funeral. The only kind. I'll find a good bottle and there will be much spinning in your honor.

i don't think you're a dumbass. i just don't want something bad to happen. to you or to calvin. why do you have to go there? why can't anti-prom be somewhere else??

I didn't decide the anti-prom location, man. But it'll be FIIIINE. Chances are it'll be a really boring senior party and we'll end up just HANGING OUT at Azurcrest all night!!!!

who did?? we could ask.

[...]

how do you know it'll be fine, though??

You are not a dumbass. There is a fine line between stupidity and bravery, and that line only exists in hindsight. If you die, you will be a dumbass for putting yourself in an unnecessarily fatal situation. If you do not, then you are no more reckless than half of this school, some of which are prefects and in positions of power that you are not, most of which are older than you, and should know better.

We have gone to the grotto the entire time we have been here. It is no more dangerous today than it was yesterday and it was no more dangerous yesterday than it was last year. Fearing something does not make that fear legitimate, and that fear does not make the situation any more dangerous than it was at the start of the year. Something isn't stupid just because somebody else is scared for you. You are not making an inherently wrong decision. You are being a good friend, because you are a good person, Micah. We would all go to your funeral.

saying 'the older kids did it' or 'the prefects did it' doesn't matter. what they do doesn't matter. going out to the grotto for a reason, like for the seance, i can understand. and i'll go. but going for a party when things have been bad lately isn't a good idea. people could get hurt. our friends could get hurt. for no reason.

[...]

and it is more dangerous now than it was. anon and brother are different and worse things keep happening. that's not just people being scared.

Fine. Tell him not to go, since you have so much power over his behavior. Don't put both of you into a potentially terrible situation.
