[...]

A little good news for everyone: we're in the astronomy classroom.

[...]

Also, can you guys let me know if anyone ends up in the auditorium? We didn't get a chance to look around as much as we wanted to ~~and Laurel's~~

You can add pegasus to your list. Spotted in Charms.

Thanks, Anuhea.

Are you alright?

Yeah. I mean, I'm like, punchy and scared shitless and super, super frustrated, but all in all, the psychic trauma has been surprisingly minimal. How're you holding up?

The Auditorium was kind of rough for us. I found a mannequin dressed like Laurel and a [...] ghost? I guess? Attacked Quinn.

Cool, cool. That's the most traumatic thing I've heard all day, and we started with a mass kidnapping.

It didn't fuck you guys up too bad, did it?

No, it just [...]

Hey, is that constellation name over a light switch too?

Yeah. It's written in charcoal or something.

Can you flip it on and off a couple times?

Totally. I'm about to go off-on-off-on. Got it?

[...] Okay.

Edited (added from/to link) 2017-06-28 23:10 (UTC)

Yeah, it's working. It's turning on and off these little stars on the ceiling of the astronomy room. Leave them on for now?

Wait, the Charms classroom?
If you check Tess's notes, I drew a picture I found.

Does that desk exist? Can you check?

[...] Ohh, fuck. I get it now. Too many desks.

In the picture?

There's a chalkboard in here that two people were writing on. It says: "It's too many desks, Pearl" "It looks better like this" "it's wrong" "Shut up" "Pearl can't count" "Shut up shut up shut up"

I fuckin feel u pearl

Pearl had us thinking that was a calendar.

Also there are a ton of maps like that in here.

This one was pretty well-hidden. That has to be deliberate.

Dude, it totally was a treasure map. Your cabin's OG dream girl and I are currently locked in an intimate embrace. [...] Oh yeah, and there was a clue on the back of her dress, too.

Oh. Wow. Yeah, Mirabel is a treasure. Say hi for me.
What clue?

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure she's reading my mind right now. She definitely knows you send your regards or whatever. God, it feels good to find something after hours of bull and also shit.

Anyway, N = 6. I think. Etta caught the snitch three times this season, right? That was the hot ghost tip. We had to add up the digits in her score tally.

Oh, she's absolutely reading your mind. You'll get used to it.

But yeah, that's right. 150 total. Cool. Glad the map actually led somewhere. ~~I was beginning to think~~

Hell yeah. Honestly, I was starting to think we were just bait in the water, but maybe we aren't completely hosed after all. People are like, actually finding shit now, right? When I set the disturbing reality of this nightmare aside and look at it like that, I'm actually sort of jazzed.

I won't trust this is actually taking us anywhere til it does.
But yeah. The puzzles actually making sense is promising.

Remind me to check that desk for treasure, though. X marks the spot.

I wonder if this "Pearl" character drew all of these. She must have a lot of free time.

Yeah, and like, a real boner for maps.

Please be careful in the auditorium, there was a [...] malevolent [...] being in there.

Yeah, and it fell from the ceiling.

[...] What sort of 'malevolent being'?

We ran into something on the Quidditch pitch too.

It was a girl, but [...] she definitely should've been dead. All her bones were broken.

Fuck. Anything else you can tell us?

[...]

We ran into a man with a pickaxe that seemed to be looking for his children. He wanted to take Kenzie with him. He was fast. And none of our spells worked on him except for the Patronus charm.

You fucked him up with that expulso, though.

Not really. She grabbed Quinn and then we all woke up in a new room.

She doesn't look like she should move but she can, and she's strong. She grabbed and pulled me over, and then we were [...] here.

Are you all alright?

[...] Got it. We'll watch out for her.

We're fine.

[...] Don't try to get close, and don't touch her.

I'm glad to hear it.

That's similar to how we got to Aesthetic Magic. Creepy dead looking schoolteacher, in robes, and somehow got the three of us into a fucking BAG to get us here.

We should assume that any interactions with ghosts can lead to us being teleported somewhere else.

Were any of you hurt? That's sadistic.

Ours asked us for a trade. That's how we got the letter, but we didn't have a huge amount of choice in the matter...

No, thank god. Milo even woke up still holding the puzzle box. So the ghost in the Atrium, we're thinking is mostly benevolent. It lies, though. We just weren't sure why.

Libra in the DADA classroom.

Not an alphabet, then.

Cetus is in the Div tower!

Tabs turned the switch off.
