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.

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.

New Baby Ghostbusters

[evercreep]

I hope it puts an end to this discussion.

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

New Baby Ghostbusters

[evercreep]

[...] 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.

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

Sorry.

I'll be better in the future about my wards.

It's not like we knew.

But what you're doing is very brave.

[odder]

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

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

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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

Evercreeches

[evercretin]

Ah, I see. Just doing what was necessary. I'm sorry it had to come to this.

New Baby Ghostbusters

[stclair]

Someone else's problem now.

[Calvin]
[...] Ree's going to be FURIOUS with you.

Micah/Calvin

[evercreep]

[...]

I know.

It's fine. I'm old news already. She'll be better off once she replaces me with someone who's more than just a bin full of lies.

New Baby Ghostbusters

[stclair]

NO Noooo No. I lost the Ouija board anyway!!!!!!!

SO MUCH for our days of sophomore forest fun, huh??????? Turns out you were right all along about this being REALLY STUPID!!!!

New Baby Ghostbusters

[untarnish]

Thank you. I'm trying to savour it, but I can't, quite.

[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.

Micah/Calvin

[stclair]

OH MY GOD CALVIN. Don't say that????? She LOVES you. You're irreplaceable :((((

We had reasons for going out there, you know???? We wanted to help.
