[Kurt's quill hovers over the page for too long before he decides that yes, he is going to write it after all:]

MERDE!

KENZIE:

If I wasn't home for a little while this summer, do you think you could check in on Ramses? Please? I know everyone who works in the stables are really good at their jobs, and I know that he spends most of the year without me anyways, but I [...] don't want him to get lonely.

[Pasted into the ward is the front page of a pamphlet for the National Forest Youth Warden program, which "helps young witches and wizards thrive by teaching them vital survival, environmental, and teamwork skills." The copy is corny, but at least the photographs—depicting delightfully diverse groups of teenagers smiling at each other and thinking at maps—are nice.]

[...] Does this look OK?

 

JUNIOR RIBBONFINS:

How do you study when you want to do better than "fine?"
Is there a special trick to writing your notes?
Do flash cards really work?
Are practise tests real tests?
Does Mr. Calderon-Boot really put trick questions on Junior exams?

Can we start an exam study group?

Sounds like an excellent idea to me. What subjects are you concerned about?

Jr Fins

[puphart]

I'm not really concerned about anything yet, it's more like I want to try and do better in all of them? Charms DOES give me more trouble than the others, though.

Jr Fins

[browbeats]

Yes.

Jr Fins

[puphart]

I might need you to show me some things, though? Some studying things? Like [...] things to help me study?

Jr Fins

[browbeats]

We all retain information differently and learn in our own ways, so you might like some of the things I do and hate others, but that's why I have a couple binders. It has a lot of different techniques in it.

You probably won't care too much about the sections reviewing different pens and highlighters though.

[pianississimo]

Are you all right, Kurt?

[puphart]

OH Yes!

[...] It's like "break a leg" but in French! I promise I wasn't swearing!

I'll make a 'reserved' sign for a library table.

Jr Fins

[puphart]

We need to reserve tables??

Jr Fins

[ferdie]

We shouldn't need to, but the library's kind of crowded during finals, so it might be okay to claim our territory.

Jr Fins

[browbeats]

We're starting to get bold with our resource grabbing.

Jr Fins

[ferdie]

We are almost in charge and we should act like it.

Jr Fins

[browbeats]

I hope this school is ready to be ruled with an iron fist of courtesy.

Jr Fins

[ferdie]

We will put polite signs up. And they will have good penmanship. And no one can stop us.

Jr Fins

[un_kept]

I'm going to echo everyone else's sentiments here. Yes!!

Jr Fins

[puphart]

Great!!

[riledup]

MERDE MERDE EVERYOOOOOONE!!

i better not literally step in horse shit after this

[puphart]

[.........] Exactly!!!

Kurt

[princeprincess]

Sounds right up your alley, nature boy.

What do certain relatives of ours think of this?

Kurt/Kenzie

[puphart]

Well, my dad sent it to me so I think he approves! And my mom probably will? [...] Last time I tried to go to a summer camp Grandma and Grandpa told me to apply to Gooseberry. [...] And now they keep telling me to "Network for the summer" and "Set up an internship through your father" because "You only have one summer left to make the right connections before you're a graduate."

Kurt/Kenzie

[princeprincess]

Sounds like you've got the two most important people on board. Grandma and Grandpa are mostly hot air, you don't have to listen to them. And who remembers the people they networked with when they were sixteen anyway? Save that for the internship they're going to push on you no matter what you do or don't do this summer.

And if they complain too much... I can lie to them and say you're on the rocks with Chloe. This would be soooo goooood for helping you get over her, etc. etc. etc.
