I was JUST writing you. I'm fine! You're fine?

WHAT is even happening anymore

Yeah

Everyone was freaking out so I got a professor
and now we're having this Serious Campfire about it

I'm hiding under my blankets. This is so CREEPY.

What did the professors say??

It's okay,
it was definitely just someone with Poor Taste trying to prank

Calderon-Boot ended up walking me back to Azurcrest and
getting everyone out by the fire.

Man, I don't even remember the stuff he said[...]
Mostly like what the prefects and stuff have been writing.

I just feel weird

I'm sure they'll tell us what's going on as soon as they know.

Is Katya alright? I should have asked that first. She's alright, right?

Me too. I don't like it. I just want to write my thesis and graduate and, I don't know, maybe ask someone to the Halloween dance Sadie Hawkins style. I don't want to worry about my friends getting stabbed.

They have to now
Everyone knows something happened.

Yeah.
She was really freaking out, though?? I've never seen someone freak out like that before, ever

And she said something weird in the journals [...]
I don't know

Yeah. :( This place is supposed to be all quaint and inspiring and safe
Mom and dad are going to freakkkk the fuck out.

Ugh I just hate that I cared and then it was nothing and now all this shit is happening
Like I made it worse somehow

[...]
Scuse meee someone like who?

She really thought someone was gonna kill her. [...] Which, I would too! If someone was chasing me with a knife!! It was just really hard to read her post.

They're gonna lose it. I hope the teachers aren't writing home or anything. Can you imagine if they got an official letter about this? What would it even say?

[...]
I don't knooooow! Like, anybody! That's the point. i just want things to be normal so I can think about WHO TO DATE and not WHO'S THE MURDERER.

Dude, I think she actually said she saw her dad[...]? mom? Someone? Murdered by people with knives??
I'm not sure. Maybe not.

I KNOW. Oh my god like "SORRY we can't control our students and stop them from threatening eachother with knives nbd though we're cool right"
Mom and dad would pull us out of here Pronto
But if anything were seriously wrong, I feel like they'd know already?
They have to have some kinda communication plan thingy

We can still think about that dude
People always realize the Truth About Things when they're worried about suddenly dying.
It's totally a trope.

I don't know [...] I don't really know her that well, I guess. But if that's true it's a crazy bad coincidence for whoever's pulling these pranks. Because I am pretty sure they're just pranks.

I'd lose my mind if mom and dad pulled us out NOW. I'm sure they wouldn't unless there was a real, serious threat though. And I'm sure the teachers aren't out to scare any parents unnecessarily.

Okay, fine. Who should I ask to the dance? I haven't been struck by a thunderbolt of danger/clarity just yet.

Yeah, me neither.
SO bad def pranks

Right. So the fact that we're just like kumbayaing by the fire blah blah.
[...] Oh hey Merrill is sleeping here tonight apparently
Annnnnnnd his pajamas have stars on them!! STARS Ivy

If I were you I would ask
Perhaps
Um
Chris?? No maybe that'd be weird
Wes?
Ummm

Aww. Mr. Merrill is my favorite teacher [...] besides Mr. Hightower! But Mr. Hightower doesn't have adorable star-print footie pajamas (I don't care if they're not actually footie pajamas, I'm choosing to believe they are).

Okay stop helping
How abouuut
one of the exchange students...? Do they even have Sadie Hawkins dances at Hogwarts?

My favs too
I could see Hightower in some footie pajamas though

That could be really fun!!
Be like one of the good memories they take home after being Terrorized tonight
and also sometimes forced to hike

He does look like he'd be surprisingly cozy at home.

Nobody's ever going to sign up for the exchange program again. The reviews are going to be so bad.
But the important question: who are YOU going to the dance with?

So cute
So lil

"THIS PLACE HAS SPIDERS"
"I HAVE A HARD TIME TELLING THE BULLIES AND STRAIGHT UP MANIACS APART"

Ew ugh I don't know blahh.
I don't know who I even like

SO many spiders. But as a counterpoint, biweekly bonfire parties! And only a middling number of maniacs so far this year.

I wish there were more people at the school. It all gets kind of tangled up by year four.

S'more squad for life

Completely
Like it's not confusing enough already.

Maybe we'll get asked though
I mean
We are pretty cute
