AFTERMATH & DEPARTURE



AFTERMATH & DEPARTURE

Mr. Merrill, still half-asleep, hikes up the hill to Azurcrest to run the last middle-of-the-night headcount. Inconvenience turns to fear as he discovers that half of his students are missing, and the other are in a sleep so deep he can't rouse them.

The unresponsive students are taken to the atrium for Healer Mufferaw to tend to, and Agent Larke is already contacting the MACUSA. The government descends on the school, with Aurors and Hitwizards to lead search parties. They head out immediately to scour the woods for the missing students. Heads of House confer with one another and the agents about the emergency, and decide parents need to be informed about the situation immediately.

There's no sign of any missing students for hours. Furthermore, there's no response from the apparently comatose children in the lodge. Not until 7:14 AM, anyway. The students that weren't taken begin to stir, and within minutes Agent Larke bursts in, clearly having ran all the way there. She announces that the missing students have been found, and are being escorted to the lodge.

Agent Larke had been organizing a new search party when Ivy Templeton stumbled out of their cabin, still half-asleep. It was discovered that inside the cabins, all the missing students had mysteriously reappeared in their beds.

All of the missing students are taken to the lodge by Aurors and Hitwizards, and a thorough headcount is done. Meanwhile, emergency Healers and Healer Mufferaw do thorough checks. The MACUSA representatives interview all the students individually. Students are only in the lodge for about an hour and a half before the order comes down: evacuate students and staff. Students are to be released to their families immediately. Personal belongings will be delivered to their homes at a later date.

The school buses are familiar, but the mood of the bus ride home after summer break isn't quite the same. They don't deliver students to their doorsteps or international stops, but to a staging area in Logan, hidden from Muggle eyes, where countless fearful relatives wait to take their children home.

HOW THIS WORKS:
  • All dreamers have been rescued. All rescuers have reunited with their friends.

  • The seven students who took part in the Finding the Heart adventure also wake up at the same time. To their friends, it will seem like they disappeared for 15 minutes max before everyone wakes up. To the seven students, it will seem like they were gone for hours.

  • Everyone will wake up after 7:14 AM. Ideally, they all wake up at the same time, but if you'd like to put it a bit later for dramatic purposes, you may.

  • Your character will be picked up at a staging area in Logan by a legal guardian, or escorted by a MACUSA agent to pre-arranged international transportation. If your character has only Muggle relatives, MACUSA will transport them to and from home.

  • If you are a rescuer or dreamer:
    • You will wake up in your own bed, unless for some reason you want your character to wake up in someone else's bed. e.g. Gabi can wake up in the Ribbonfin soph girls' cabin, or she can wake up in the Ebonhide soph boys' cabin with Bash and Wyatt, since she was with them.

    • You will keep all injuries you incurred during the event. However, you will not have any traces of ghost blood on you! Or ghost viscera of any kind.

    • You will be wearing what you had on when the event ended, i.e. your pajamas and the clothing given to you by Brother. If you gave something away to another student during the event, e.g. a jacket, that other character will be wearing it instead.

    • You will have all objects you started the event with, i.e. things in your pockets, unless you dropped them or gave away those items to an NPC. Then they're gone forever, sorry!

    • You will not have any objects you picked up during the course of the event. This includes rocks, twigs, and personal items like Diego's crucifix, Sy's captain's badge, etc. All that stuff was imaginary! Those objects still exist in the real world.

  • If you are a non-participant:
    • You will wake up on a cot in the Atrium. Please assume you are decently dressed. You will see Healers checking on other students, and government Aurors guarding the room. Your Head of House will tell you that you were moved here for observation because you were discovered in a state of deep sleep and no one could wake you. If you ask about your other friends, your teacher will admit that they've gone missing and the MACUSA is here to find them.

    • Mere minutes after you've woken up, you will all hear from the Aurors that the other students have been found in their cabins.

    • You have no memory of your roommates leaving the cabin, or being moved to the Atrium. You slept straight through the night. You did not have any dreams.


» MORNING: You wake up. You're in, well, a bed. It may or may not be your own, and the people you were with when you were in the other world may be with you.

» AFTERMATH: As soon as the staff realize that all the missing students have been found, everyone is promptly escorted to the lodge. Campus is crawling with MACUSA presence, and hitwizards and Aurors alike lead the students to the lodge. Everyone is looked over by emergency healers, and give quick statements to the authorities.

» BUSES: Understandably, everyone's families are impatient to get their children back. Students are hurried onto buses to be taken to a relay point outside of the anti-apparition zone, where their families will be to take them home.

Robin awakes suddenly, violently, and he definitely doesn't jump when his cell phone clatters to the ground. Because he's a stone cold badass shut your shit ass mouth.

"The fuck is—you gotta be—" he mutters, still foggy with asleep, and rubs his eyes with the heels of his hands. His oily as fuck hands. "Dude. Fuckin' shit dude, man, dudes. The fuck?"

As you can tell, Robin is very coherent this morning.

Dimi knows that voice. He never thought he'd hear it again.

And it makes him awaken with a start, rolling out of bed - because there's not enough room for him and his brother, both, on a twin mattress - and landing with a rather dramatic thud on the floor. As though Gooseberry needed any more bodies falling from high places.

"Hghhh," he groans, sucking in air as he squints at Robin. "You!"

Chris knows that voice. He wakes up groggy as shit, his face still burns from scratches, but he rolls out of bed and lands much more gracefully on his feet. He gathers Damon up from the ground and pulls him into a very hard, very long hug.

Like. Uncomfortably long. Like. Unnecessarily long before he even speaks.

"Dude," is what he finally says. Nobody has ever said dude more gratefully than Chris does.

"Holy fucking fuckballs, YOU," Robin shouts, his hands slipping as he clambers off his bed, only barely keeping his balance as he hits the ground.

"I fucking knew it, I fucking KNEW it, I fucking knew it," he repeats breathlessly, a grin pulling annoyingly at the corners of his mouth. He throws his arms around both Chris and Dimi, smearing them with oil and gunk. "I fucking KNEW you weren't gettin' the FUCK away that easy." You didn't actually know, Robin, stop lying.

Someone who doesn't belong here peeks out from behind Dimi's curtain, sees what's going on, and awkwardly ducks back under cover.

"Merlin, and here I was so ready to be rid of both of you," Dimi exclaims, not sounding remotely sincere. He wriggles free enough of Chris' ... extremely friendly hug to throw his arms around both of them.

His hand touches the oil on Robin's back and slides down.

The sensation reminds him of a squonk.

Dimi gags loudly.

"General reaction to hugging Youngblood, you'll get used to it," Chris says readily because if you can't joke when somebody gags, you just can't joke. But Chris moves his arm around Robin all the same, as if he hadn't just spent what feels like a year with him. "Wait, that means Tess should be here too." They're not gonna abandon Dimi for Tess, but they might abandon Dimi for Tess.

The door flies open, banging against the wall and bouncing off, with Tess bursting through like a cannonball. If anyone was still asleep, they aren’t now. She has twigs in her hair, oil up to her knees and elbows, bruises and scrapes, and she looks like a madwoman - but a relieved one now. “Fucking hell,” she says, then sprints toward their group hug with force, keen to join in.

Quinn is, more or less, content. Quinn had had a very stressful evening, and finally, she wakes up in a familiar bed, with the person she loves, and sunlight streaming in through the windows.

Wait, no, that's not right.

The crash makes her jump. In a flash, she untangles herself from Ty's arms (well, one of them—she's not letting go that easily), sticks her head out, and glares. And then she grabs her glasses because she gets the feeling that she may be glaring at a chair (answer: yes), and glares again, now at the very loud people.

"You all look like shit," is the best greeting she can muster. She doesn't look much better but at least her bruises are under her clothing and she isn't covered in... "Wait... is that... fucking ectoplasm?" Tess, honey, she promises she's happy to see you. She is. But there were birds chirping. If you ignore the rat's nest of hair going on around her face right now, it was like a goddamn Disney wake-up scene. This is too much.

If the voices of his roommates and the slamming of the door hadn't been enough to wake up Ty (they had been), Quinn moving away from him would've done it. He sits up after she does and keeps an arm around the girl as he joins her in leaning through the curtain but he's doing more gawking than glaring. It's good to know his roommates are safe -- it's an immense, unquantifiable relief to know that his roommates are safe -- but he still doesn't know what the hell's going on here.

He can't help but laugh, the sound bright and warm despite everything. Because sometimes that's all he can do. "You guys do look like shit," he agrees, echoing the sentiments of his girlfriend, "But you're a sight for sore eyes, anyway."

"FUCK YEAH," Robin shouts, crushing Tess in a hug, his face getting redder already, though this time it's definitely because he's happy and a redhead's face is like a mood ring. Except it's got one setting and that setting is "has an emotion right now."

"I ain't never been so goddamn glad to see a fuckin' squirrel you son of a bitch. Get down here and get you one slimy ass hug."

Chris is right there, starting a whole new group hug for Tess. His face is not a vibrant red, but it definitely looks off, missing his usual scowl. Later on, he can be concerned about how needlessly emotional they all got at that fork in the road, today he was too overjoyed to worry about it.

And Quinn's krabby patty self can't take away from it. "Ty!" He shouts, breaking away to reach up to grab Ty's hand. He's on the verge of dragging Ty down out of his bed so Ty's probably got a very serious decision to make here because some people wanna hug him. He grabs Quinn's hand with his other hand because she doesn't even go here but he's gonna love the shit out of her too.

"Seems to me we all look far better than we could," Dimi says brightly, arms already stretching to include Tess in this ridiculous, oily group hug. This shit never happens at Hogwarts. And, setting aside the bullshit death forest for the moment, Dimi decides he's really glad he came here, to Gooseberry. "Wonderful to see all your beautiful faces first thing in the morning."

There's a small thump as Calvin hops down from Dimi's bed. He begins edging toward the door, (hopefully) avoiding too much attention from all these loud, excited, oily senior Copperales. "I'm... just goin' to go over to Todd's," he explains, cringing a little. It's good to see Dimi happy, and he's relieved to note that his friends survived, but it's time for Calvin to make his escape.
