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.

» OOC - QUESTIONS, COMMENTS & CONCERNS
Ferdie & Ursula
"Thank you for saving me, and for whatever," she pauses and screws up her face a little, trying to find the right word. Bizarre would have suited her usual flippancy; it would have made it easier to brush off the idea that any of this bothered her or that she actually cared quite deeply about her fellow fish and what they'd been through. All reasons why it wasn't the right word. Awful? Strange? Finding the right words to express her thoughts, rather than hide them, is a struggle, and she settles on, "unfathomable things you've been through. Do you think it made a difference?"
Ferdie & Ursula
But what came out is, "I think so." Ursula's probably scared, too. Her smiles are slower, and she sounds a little worried. He shouldn't be adding to that. He leans in to the final feeling of gratitude, of finality, that Brother had left them. There isn't really a way to convey it while also seeming dry and reserved. "If it didn't, he lied. The older moose told us first thing it wouldn't happen again." Ferdie shrugs. "So it better not happen again."
(He says, like if it does, he'll recommend Anon for detention.)
Ferdie & Ursula
It is a relief though, to be told that it won't happen again. For three years, she's complained about being stuck at camping school and this would be an excellent opportunity to make a case for returning to Port Prep, and the world she'd carefully molded herself to fitting into. Instead, she finds herself thinking of how it'll only be a couple short months before they're all back here again, together. She glances down at her hands, which are fidgeting, but still remain firmly in her personal space, and then back up at Ferdie. "Maybe I could help you here? Until we all have to go? If you don't mind the company."
Ferdie & Ursula
He still not stupid enough to ask about it anymore, and just smiles at her offer instead. It's nice. Or maybe it's pity. That's kind of another thing he's too tired to determine for sure. "All I'm really doing is trying to herd freshmen, so you don't have to or anything, but. If you want to." They do need a lot of herding.
Ferdie & Ursula
"And technically, they're sophomores now. And we're seniors. How's that for a frightening thought," she teases quickly, so her offer doesn't have to hang in the air, hoping to lighten the mood, and quite possibly failing miserably. Not everyone has been eyeing senior year, and graduation, from the time they were a young child, like she has; she doesn't know what anxieties it might hold for Ferdie, doesn't really consider that's a possibility.
Ferdie & Ursula
He doesn't feel like a senior. Right now, he feels like a freshman, treading water a place where he isn't sure of his role, anymore. Only this time, it's a little easier to fall in, and accept that probably nothing in the coming months would be the same as it had been before. That thought was scarier as a real freshman. Maybe that meant he could be a senior now. He doesn't look scared either way. "That's...terrifying, actually. I guess we're lucky the fresh devil children aren't here already."
He means freshmen. He doesn't sound terrified, either.
Ferdie & Ursula
"You've still got a few months to practice before the new set of hellions are around," she points out, expression softening again into something more impish. It's clear she plans to stay now. "And who knows, maybe we'll luck out, and they'll recruit a class full of perfect angels. Just like we were at that age."
Ferdie & Ursula
"I think I've blocked out what we were like at that age." He looks around, trying to spot the youngest ones and relate. He feels older. "But yeah, probably angels. Mud-wrestling, punchy angels." He hasn't forgotten his class's missteps. At least he sounds quite endeared by them.
Ferdie & Ursula
"Yes, something exactly like that. And if they're rotten, what's a bunch of fourteen year olds compared to-" she cuts herself off, because it might be true, but all she really feels she can complain about right now is a long nap in an odd location. Not when there's mysterious lingering headaches from mines that she's never heard about. She hopes Ferdie will get it checked out before they leave. "Well, I'm sure you'll find creative ways to discipline offenders. No one leaves detention until someone actually wins Monopoly?"
