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.
» 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.

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.

Wilde & Saira
You can sleep now, she says, but he opens his eyes instead, shaking his head.
"I don't know if I can. It's ..." Trailing off, he shrugs. "Hard to explain. You'll understand, when we just happen to visit the library on the same day and time."
Wilde & Saira
"No. I didn't dream at all. I don't remember a thing from when I laid down in my cabin until I woke up in the Atrium." She pauses, thoughtful. "I take it that you do. But you'll tell me about that. Presumably when I am next in the market for pastries."
Wilde & Saira
She's ... lucky? That seems like the wrong word, somehow.
He nods at her, smiling again. Definitely. Definitely, definitely. They'll look for explanations together in books about metaphysics and hermetics and whatever else, and he'll get to hear what she thinks, what she would've done in his place, all the ways she would've fucking destroyed those monsters and puzzles. Yeah. And this is real already -- not a dream, or the wrong version of reality. Definitely.
"I know it shows in my, like, absolute glow right now," he jokes, "but... I'm happy. To see you." Which she knows already, he already basically said it, but. Whatever.
Re: Wilde & Saira
Though she doesn't care about everyone. Just a few people. Just Wilde.
"I am happy to see you too," she offers, haltingly, because this Admitting To Caring thing is still for the birds in her book. "Do you want to read with me?"
It's a freshman-level Hermeticism text that she scrounged from behind something in the Atrium, far below either of them but better than nothing when you've been packed into a bus without most of your things.
Wilde & Saira
Wilde's too tired and starry-eyed to feel very shy. He scoots closer to rest his heavy head on her shoulder.
Re: Wilde & Saira
If Saira is surprised, she doesn't let it show. Instead, she tips her cheek down to rest against the top of his head and opens the book again so that it rests half on Wilde's lap and half on her own.
"Tell me when to turn the page."
