OK everyone, I have some feelings about October. Even though it has Halloween, which we all know is the best holiday because it involves costumes, Shakespeare didn't mention October in any of his plays or sonnets. So it's probably the worst month. I'm very sorry if you're an October baby. Especially since that means there's about a 2/3^rds chance you're a Libra. Unfortunate.

[Warded to Grace]

I'll book us something at the sauna because I need some spa time. Plus we should have our skin GLOWING for the Halloween dance. We need to be on top of this sort of thing. Also, have you heard any other murmurings about costumes for other people? I want to keep an eye on things, you know. For posterity's sake.

By the way, I'm going to make your (red riding) hood sparkle a bit. It'll be PERFECTION.

[Warded to Ennis]

I did a tarot reading today, you know, to practise outside of class, and it said that everyone has been dissatisfied recently, and currently things are just terrible and people are dealing with a bunch of rejection (did someone reject a date offer? Do you know? Who was it?). But then that everyone is going to stop caring because we're all going to hit rock bottom, so we should really just all try to be fair about it (is someone trying to steal someone's date? Do you know? Who is it?). All around us there's lots of working together (I guess to stop caring) and also that everyone is really hoping for prosperity but in the end they're just going to be disappointed.

So. Does that mean the Halloween dance is going to be lacklustre? Have I interpreted this correctly? Because to me that just sounds like dissatisfaction with the date auctions and the dance. Does that mean everyone is going to have crappy dates? Ideally you won't have a crappy date; I suppose Evangeline has a certain charm to her hair, at least. More to the point, this reading just seems ~~lame~~ not overly informative. Who cares about people being sad about the dance? I feel like with scrying I have better luck, you know, but with the cards I just always get some ~~stupidly boring crap~~ less than engaging predictions. How do I fix this? Do you think Mr. Chettri has noticed? How big of a problem is this?

Oh, also, you need to stop wearing so much black.

I mean he ALSO never mentioned angler fish in any of his sonnets and those are badass.

Angler fish are gross, Dinah.

Angler fish are beautiful.

[...] So? [...] Shakespeare mentioned every other month specifically? Except October?

[Rupert]

What day were you thinking? [...] I'll come, of course. I'd like to GLOW. But knowing ahead of time helps. And, no, I haven't heard much about other costumes. I'll listen, though. Do you think there will be a lot of pair costumes because of the auction?

Will you sparkle too, Mr. Wolf? I don't want to sparkle by myself.

He did! He was probably onto something.

[Grace]
Tomorrow or next Monday or next Thursday. I'll let you pick. [...] If you pick quickly. [.......] Actually I'm picking let's do Monday.

But yes, keep your ears open; I'll do the same, of course. And there probably will be more pair costumes than otherwise? But whatever, we'll be the best dressed.

I'll have A BIT of sparkle, but not too much. I really want to make sure we compliment each other without being too matchy-matchy.

Probably. I would never question Shakespeare.

[Rupert]

~~I don't kn~~ ~~Let me check my calend~~ [...] Monday is perfect!

I will. Are you worried about what the others are doing? ~~I don't think there's an actual contest.~~

That makes sense. I'll trust your sparkle judgment. [...] I can still wear my regular makeup, right?

I'm not sure if anyone was rejected, but surely someone has to be upset about not getting their ideal date for the dance? Especially after the auctions? There was a lot of bidding going on and events like that favor the wealthiest among us. So maybe someone wanted to ask someone but found out they were put up for auction and they feel like it wasn't fair? Or maybe someone they wanted to ask bid on someone else in the auction and their hopes were dashed.

The auction that was hosted so early in the month may have caused a lot of tension over the dance that may be altering your readings. I think a lot of people thought they'd have more time to think of a way to ask out their crush and they feel hurt when they see someone they like going with someone else.

Have you been thinking about the dance a lot lately? Maybe that's influencing your readings as well. I don't think it's a problem or anything, but I can understand why these sort of readings aren't very exciting...

And... do you really think I wear too much black? I thought it was a slimming color... And it's easier to match... But also really hard to recognize which shirt is which without having to unfold them all? And some of these pieces are really hard to fold back neatly...
