HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICAH!!!

[Warded to Baby Ghostbusters]

We solved one mystery, now it's time to solve another.

Research team, what have we got? Any luck with connecting all the questions or finding anything at the library??

Zach? Bash? I think you guys have talked a lot about getting everyone in and out safely. What should we call that? The extraction team?? We've got some NEW issues that have come up since the last time we tried...

Issue #1: They've blocked off the path to the Grotto, but I heard ANTI-PROM still happened. Fern, you went right? How did you guys get there? (Did anything WEIRD happen there?)

Issue #2: We need to get to there and back without being caught by the prefects or Mr. Covington. Most of them were gone for Prom and MAYBE they won't be patrolling as hard since Anti-Prom is over but you guys all heard Ms. Vector's announcement and I really DON'T want to get suspended from anything. And Jeffy still has to PLAY this weekend

Then there's [...] the séance team? I don't have a cool name for this team, SORRY. People who want to ask questions. We need enough people to actually POWER the Ouija board or whatever but not SO MANY that we'll get 2 or whoever confused with all our questions. 2 can get really confused and just start picking RANDOM LETTERS if we aren't careful.

Maybe someone should be at the séance to take notes and actively relay that information back to people not in the Grotto? Just so all the information is out there [...] in case something happens, or if someone thinks of a question who isn't at the seance?

Am I missing something? Other than the obvious "THIS IS A BAD IDEA, ESSIE"? We're running out of time so we've got to put our heads together and get this figured out.




((OOC: We've been collaborating with the mods and there will be a ic/ooc for this event on Thursday, 6/1! There will be a designated window for question asking so please come prepared. We're using this post to ICly figure out the last bit of details before the event. If your character does not intend to ask questions, please consider having them join one of the teams not entering the Grotto! We'll include sections for them in the ic/ooc also if there's enough interest. We're trying to make this event as inclusive as possible while still reasonably sized for slipping past school authority. Thank you! ♥))

should we ask about the lights we saw friday night?? i'd like to ask. but only if you guys think it's important.

[...] if we get caught, i can try to get the teachers or the prefects to notice me first. if you want. i don't have anything to get suspended from except drama. and most of the designs and costumes are almost done anyway. so it doesn't matter much.

It would be nice to know what the lights meant, whether they were a warning or a sign that something's looking out for us. But maybe we should leave that question for later? I don't know.

it's probably the least important. i know. maybe if we get through the others first??

[...]

i wonder why it'd do either when everyone was gone, though. send a warning or a signal. you know?? almost nobody saw it.

Ok ADMITTEDLY I have not been the BIGGEST HELP on the research team but I have nooo clue where to look and haven't narrowed it down much.

We were looking for:
- Sibling spirits??
- Forest spirits(/guardians??) Probably not nyads but like DO we know that?
- I want to look at ghosts that hang around mining settlements but ???? finding a book that says EXACTLY THAT is super hard
- There's stuff about sacred groves I found but do we think the Grotto is something religious??? Because it always felt like a HOME to me you know??
- There are a lot of books about moose that talk about their habitats and diet and mating habits and it's not SUPER helpful.

Uhh other researchers, how are you doing??

There's too much stuff to know if any of it's useful. But I'm going to bring a ton of books back from the library, in case any of the answers you guys get connect to anything I've read.

Still planning on asking about the moon stuff tomorrow in Astronomy.

AWESOME. You're the BEST head researcher we've EVER HAD. We can go through the bigger books and mark the PROBABLY MOST RELEVANT pages so you can just flip it open and go when we're (hopefully) having WILD talks with 2.

Does anyone remember if the moon was anything WEIRD at our LAST seance? Should we try to find out or should we FOCUS because we don't have much TIME?

um, i've got some stuff? i don't know how USEFUL the stuff is, but i've got stuff. cause i got some time on google after prom. cause, sleep? overrated. forget that noise.

okay, um.

• siblings are kind of a huge thing in mythology and stories and shit. especially twins. like there's TONS of twins all over the place. artemis and apollo, romulus and remus, blah blah blah. vodou's got nature-related siblings, but that's only one of 'em and they're triplets, so that's probably not.
• naiads tend to be water things. but stuff happened around the lake? so. um. still on the table. and there's dryads for trees.
• i didn't check for mining settlements. shit.
• church is supposed to be houses of god. temples too? gods like their houses.
• mythology's also ALL up in the horns thing too. like there's lots of gods running around with horns sticking out of their heads. there's cernunnos. and herne the hunter. who sort of had a forest? or did forest stuff? and the erlking and the wild hunt?
• and there's like a shit ton of haunted forests. like TONS. they're ALL OVER the place.

Are we sticking to the list of most important questions that Jeffy wrote down and making sure we get those answered first? Or are we going to be UNSTRUCTURED and guided by the answers we get??

Also I was thinking about safety, and it's probably not practical to tie everyone together unfortunately BUT maybe we should each have a person to look out for?? Like, I look out for you, you look out for Jeffy, and so on until it comes full circle. JUST IN CASE the forest starts affecting one of us or something. I know it's really easy to say we'll stick together and nobody will get lost or left behind, but we can't all be looking out for everyone at once? And maybe it'll be easier if we each have a DESIGNATED PERSON to be responsible for??

I suppose I'm part of the seance team. I'll be hands-on, and if I get possessed I'm blaming Micah.

Micah's going to be filming the whole thing, so we'll have another record apart from any note-taking. We also have a photograph of the lights, although it's not very good and honestly no one should look at it I'm not certain Micah's finished developing it. Either way, it's not hugely relevant to this investigation to have a visual aid. I don't think anon will care.

As a final note, if it comes down to it, you all run and I can stay and get caught. I'm not coming back next year, so I don't particularly care if they suspend me from something I can't keep.

I know. I'm not actually afraid of that. It was just a bad joke.

I'm not sure if it will, at least not here and now. But it's good to have a record of it happening, and I'm sure it's a beautiful painting regardless.
