Written hurriedly.

In light of what happened... Ari, Jade and I have a confession to make.

We went into the woods after dark right before the Hogwarts game. We were going to try and take a visiting student into the forest with us and run a seance as a joke, to scare her, but she didn't fall for it. So... we decided to play around with it ourselves. Just as a joke, right?

Things got strange fast. We think we spoke to [...] someone. Something. It said it was a dead boy from a mining settlement named Henry.

That was enough to be odd, but... you know. It could have been chance, a mistake, one of us messing with it. But it kept getting more intense. Ah, Ari and Jade will help me recount exact details in a minute.

But there was something out there. It appeared right behind Jade and Ari, and it grabbed Jade. I got her away, but it was like [...] a dead thing. A corpse. A ghost, but solid. But it appeared out of thin air.

We just ran after that.

I'm so sorry.

[Baby Ghostbusters - minus Issy and Solo]

I really am sorry.

We thought this would be best.

[Ree]

[...] If you're angry with me again, I understand.

I hope it puts an end to this discussion.

I hope there's nothing left to get out of. Are you going back into the woods, Micah?

I'm really sorry you had to do this but thanks for saving our butts so many times.

[...] I don't know if I go in for the whole "everyone in the sophomore class is my friend" line, but I'd call everyone here my mates. Wouldn't ever leave you out to dry.

This. Thanks for going full on public to manage the situation.

Thank you. This is literally all I wanted.

Thank you, Calvin.

Even while you ignored everything we said and did what you thought was best for us before we were finished discuss it fully, after I told you it matters to me to discuss it, I still believe what you have done is brave.

[Calvin]
You know how incredibly dangerous and against the rules that was. [...] Are you alright?

[bambae]

lmao

Quinn/Calvin

[evercreep]

I do. We told the staff, if that helps. It's why we all have so much detention. We just didn't tell everyone why.

[...] I'll be fine. Really.

Calvin

[evercretin]

Mum and Dad are going to kill you.

[...]

But what you're doing is very brave.

Evercreeches

[evercreep]

It wasn't brave, it was necessary. Some of the others were panicking, and I was afraid if they told everyone and contradicted our story, then people who didn't deserve it would be punished.

[odder]

I'm sorry too.
The MACUSA agents do know, in case that was a subsequent question.

[evercreep]

Right. That's probably an important detail. We've long since turned ourselves in.

[meerigold]

What the fuck?? It GRABBED her?? Poor Jade.

[New BB GBs]

Taking the fall is noble as fuck. You three are cool in my book.

[evercreep]

It was genuinely awful.

[New BB GBs]
Everyone needs a liar or two around. In any case, we avoided what could have been a complete mess, so I'll call it a win.

[choneychurch]

Oh my g You went out there after all that's h Is this why you all got de [...] Thank you for telling us the truth, Calvin. And for telling the staff and the agents. This isn't something we could keep from them.

I'm so glad you're all safe.

And, everyone, please stay away from the woods. There's clearly more going on here than we understand and we don't want anyone to get hurt.

[Calvin, Ari & Jade]

Are you three all right? [...] If I can help, please tell me.

Calvin/Ari/Jade/Cecil

[untarnish]

None of us were hurt, if that's what you mean.

Calvin

[bambae]

You held a seance.

What'd you actually ask?

Chris/Calvin

[evercreep]

[...]

Who it was, if he was dead. We tried to ask some things about whatever else is out there in the forest, but with nothing but one word answers it was hard to get anything meaningful. It was more upsetting than informative.

[browbeats]

That's it Freddy's not coming to this stupid haunted kid grabbing ghost school are you fucking kidding me

Well then.

[evercreep]

Indeed.

You keep throwing yourself on the sword I'm going to start suspecting that's your kink.

And this group keeps giving me the opportunity to indulge it. Very fortunate for me and my rumoured martyrdom fetish.

Why didn't you fucking tell someone SOONER? Are you insane?

WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU

Calvin & Hobbs

[evercreep]

In my bed with the curtains drawn refusing to speak to anyone in person.

But I'll come out for you.

[chryseis]

I have a book that might lend some insight. Ms. Petrichor ordered it for me earlier this year but I bought myself a copy. Actually [...] I bought it for Neil as a graduation gift but I'm sure he won't mind if you flip through it.
