Ree's asking questions. Essie and I used the the "Early Morning Quidditch" alibi, so please don't say that. Or do, and we'll just all confess to a giant underground sophomore Quidditch fight club or something, instead. At least that would confuse them into submission.

I don't really think she bought it, but it's not like she can prove otherwise.

[...] We're not telling anyone else about this. Right?

But it can't hurt to be VIGILANT. Just in case!! I'd never heard of forest entities and ghosts that could TOUCH PEOPLE before I came to Gooseberry so possession is definitely POSSIBLE.

honestly, after reading like fucking eve a whole bunch of shit, there isn't any definitive formula for telling if somebody's possessed by something. some sources suggest speaking in tongues or inability to tolerate sacred items. and then some people say signs of possession are exhaustion and irritability - which are also signs of not getting enough sleep. so.

it's not really an exact science by ANY means.

What does speaking in tongues sound like??

depends. could just be sudden competence in a language you never actually learned. or else i'd imagine it's speaking in weird, demonic, or otherwise dead languages out of nowhere.

yeah. i mean, i'm reasonably sure. i feel like it'd be super weird and noticeable if someone started speaking in like, ancient sumerian or something.

Okay. That's good to know.
