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.

Laurel, Open

Laurel is fidgety, vaguely sick. In a way, all of this feels to her like a very weird, very bad high.

She's been clinging to Ivy like... well, ivy... but spends a quiet moment after her healer exam just sort of sitting, staring out at her fellow students, all those agents and staff members. The energy here is unreal; she's never felt anything like it before. Fear and relief?

She stands a little shakily, wide-eyed and bedraggled, to find and rejoin her twin.

Isabelle went through all the Healer's tests and passed, there wasn't anything wrong with her. She'd just slept a long time, like everyone else who had been taken. When it's over, it's still early on - there are tons of students who still need to be checked so Issy looks around, searching for Laurel.

When she finally sets eyes on her, Isabelle takes off running. She hits Laurel with surprising force for such a small girl. She pulls her into a hug and holds her tight, fresh tears rolling down her cheeks.

"I love you so much."

Laurel makes a small noise of surprise, but lifts Issy off her feet, rocking her back and forth for a long moment.

"Yes," she says softly, pressing a little kiss into the girl's hair before setting her down. She steps back a little as if to get a good look at her, wiping at a newly forming tear with the back of a hand.

"You were in my dream." She replies, her voice softer now. Staring at the ground, Isabelle takes a deep breath before looking up. She was so glad to see Laurel safe.

"Is Ivy still okay? I talked to her once I - once I woke up but, I hadn't talked to her since then and she hadn't found you yet."

"Ohh."

Laurel looks a bit sheepish. "I don't... I don't really remember mine? It's all fuzzy."

Still, her mind feels like it's been asleep for days, somehow. When she really thinks, she recalls little glimpses of things: a lot of gold, and candles, and maybe seeing Jesse and Ty, the sensation of missing Ivy, something like a party. It's less like a dream and more like a memory of someone else's life. Or like scenes from a movie she only half-watched, distracted by something else.

She nods, smoothing the front of her oversized pink t-shirt. The shade seems far too cheerful for the circumstance. "Yeah, she's... somewhere. Like. Totally okay. I was just going to go find her again."

Isabelle remembers all her dreams very sharply - they're so clear to her. It makes her almost more upset. She might never have felt that level of happiness and contentedness in her real life - knowing what it felt like now was almost like a tease. She'd never get that for real.

"Oh, that's okay. It wasn't anything anyway it was just nice, I guess." She didn't know what she was saying. It meant a lot to her that Laurel had been there in her dream, but that didn't mean the same for everyone, did it? Maybe it was an invasion for other people. Isabelle wasn't sure how to feel about all of this.

A look of relief crosses her face when Laurel reassures her that Ivy is fine, too, and that she was just going to go find her. Of course Laurel wanted to be with Ivy. She nodded her head, forcing a small smile on her lips and taking a step back. "Yeah, that's great. I'm glad you both are alright. Um. I should go - find my roommates or something."
