Uh, not a lot. Getting ready for the Halloween dance. What's up with you? Are you and Solo doing matching costumes?

Nothing. Just missed talking you.

Yeah, we're gonna be Finn and Princess Bubblegum, I think, from that no-maj show Adventure Time. Except the genderswap version.

What about you and Roxie?

Oh, that's fun. Do you want me to make you a sword?

We're going to be Dr. Frankenstein and the monster. But don't tell anyone, we're kind of doing a surprise thing.

OH DAMN can you?? That'd be AWESOME!

I'm trying to knit the hat myself. I'm kind of trash at it. Know anyone who can sew?

That sounds really cool! I promise I won't tell. Who's going to be who?

Edited (tagging on my phone makes me want to break things ) 2017-10-24 07:49 (UTC)

Yeah, for sure. I can even make it LARP-safe if that'll entice you into joining.

Cole's pretty good at sewing, I think! It's not my strong suit or I'd offer to help myself.

She's going to be the monster. She seemed really excited about being made of zombie parts.

Edited (TOO BRUSQUE) 2017-10-24 07:52 (UTC)

Me? In LARP? ~~Yeah t~~ I spend 90% of my free time studying now. I don't know if I'd have time to join another club.

I'll have to ask him. Maybe he can fix the mess I am making. It looks like I tried to murder the fabric. And I know you'd offer if you could.

Well [...] wait like, I mean it's not going to look really realistic is it?

It's actually really fun. But I get it if you're too busy with schoolwork.

Actually, I don't know? She's putting it together herself so I haven't seen the full look yet.

Maybe this planner thing Madison is talking about will help and free up some of my time.

Oh ok. You don't think it'll be like [...] too realistic? I mean it's stupid no one is going to be upset ~~I just worried that it'll look like~~ nevermind.

It won't be too scary.

You alright?

Good. I mean, it should be SOME scary cause duh it's a monster but yeah. Realistic [...] dead body parts might be a bit much for some people. Probably not. I don't know.

Um yeah, sure. Just antsy I think.

Well you know, it's Halloween. So it'll probably be... appropriately Halloweeny?

Want to go for a walk or something?

Oh I know. Just trying to [...] think more about how other people feel. You can blame Solomon for that.

I'm sure you have better things to do than walk me around. ~~I just didn't know ~~~~I'm feeling~~ I'm fine.~~~~

~~do you think my inability to cast a patronus means I'm not happy..~~

I miss you too.

Edited 2017-10-24 12:50 (UTC)

We've both been so busy I feel like we haven't seen each other in ages.

Sure! [...] Well, maybe. How BIG is LITTLE?

I mean, I'm not making an exclusive guest list...

~~Thiiiiiis is EXACTLY how I accidentally gave Micah PERMISSION for a Grotto par~~ ~~But this is BETTER than the Grotto~~ [...] ~~HEY, your party isn't going to be SUPER against the rules, ri~~

[...] Semi-exclusive?

I mean I suppose so but why turn someone away who needs to have a good time? I feel like everyone has been under a lot of pressure or freaking out and ~~I mean I saw Anon okay I need a dr~~ it might be nice. I feel like we've hardly gotten together with our friends at all this year, not like how it was last year. The Grotto is dangerous blah blah I get it but didn't Merrill say we could have parties here and he'd kind of... look the other way?

Edited 2017-10-24 17:25 (UTC)

He did, sort of. [...]

Okay! So! I am in BIG SUPPORT of blowing off steam with your friends! But I DON'T think the cabins are fully FIRE SAFE if there are more than 35 people inside, so I'd REALLY like it if we could try to keep things WELL-VENTILATED and MODERATELY CONTROLLED. That means Ree or I might wind things down if your party turns to something GROTTO-ADJACENT.

[...] Does that sound fair?

Edited (he tried) 2017-10-24 17:37 (UTC)

No, it doesn't. Who even sets things on fire? The party will be mostly outside anyway, Zach, and honestly ~~I don't know why you think you can~~ if you're just going to shut it down when you guys don't like it anymore I'm just going to have it somewhere else.

~~Our camp is supposed to be~~ ~~Fine I'll just go get drunk in the woods by my~~ ~~FORGET IT~~

Edited (shes sensitive about parties i'm sorry) 2017-10-24 17:41 (UTC)

~~Sam, I have do HOMEWORK and SLEEP and it's hard for me to SUPERVISE something so~~ ~~I'm sorry. I know it's not FUN, but I'm really tire~~

[...] It sounds to me like this is really IMPORTANT to you, so I'll do my BEST to make it happen. But it would help me a lot if next time, you tell me exactly what you have in mind, please! I know we were just CHATTING, but it's hard to make CONTINGENCY PLANS if I don't know what to expect. That's why Ree and I like the head's up.

Sorry I didn't know we needed contingency plans and an agenda to hang out with friends around a campfire.

Just forget it I said anything. It's fine.

Edited 2017-10-24 18:04 (UTC)

Things are different this year.

I can't tell you what to do, but please, please don't go to the woods instead.

Things are only supposed to be different at the Grotto. The Heads and the other Prefects, didn't everyone say campsite parties were fine? I don't see why we need to be prepared for attack or something. It's just a party.

~~Maybe I will~~ ~~No I won't~~

I won't.

Edited 2017-10-24 18:19 (UTC)

~~Things are different for me.~~ [...] I don't think YOU need to be prepared for anything, let ALONE an attack. That's MY job and it's DEFINITELY not something I want PARTY PEOPLE to worry about. Campfire parties SHOULD be safe. It's just that sometimes, safety ~~means being READY for things that aren't supposed to happen, and~~ takes a little advance thinking on my part. NOT my strong suit, but I'm doing what I can!

~~Thank go~~ [...] Thank you!!! [ ............ ] Consider your party permission granted!

Edited (obviously the juniors are all coping perfectly with the endgame ) 2017-10-24 18:31 (UTC)

Okay but you're not responsible for EVERYONE Zach and you shouldn't feel like you have to be. Everyone is responsible for their OWN actions. Who ever said it was the Prefects actual job to keep everyone safe from supernatural bs? You're supposed to keep us from breaking rules, not from murder-fueled ghosts and psychic ancient moosemen.

This is so frustrating, Zach. This mentality that you all have that the rest of us are your children you must keep safe and that somehow the responsibility an entire school failed to accomplish is what not even 25% of the student body is supposed to accomplish? There are like thirty two of you for a school of 160.

Anyway, thanks for the permission. I'll probably just invite Solo.

Edited 2017-10-24 18:54 (UTC)

It's not because I'm a prefect. It's because you're my friends. [...] I know that some things are out of my HANDS, but if something happened and I knew I could have PREVENTED it, I [...] don't know WHAT I would do.

I'm sorry I was being overbearing, though. I know I'm not ACTUALLY your papa bird. ~~I'll~~ ~~I'll~~ [...] I'll try to RELAX and give everyone a little more SPACE.

I know you just love us. We love you too. ~~I just don't want to have to rely on anyone else to~~ ~~I need to feel responsible for my own~~ We'd all feel that way, but that doesn't mean we all need to be stalking each other to make sure everyone is always okay. We need to find balance.

It's okay. ♥ You are totally our papa bird, but we've got rebellious hearts. Can't tie me down etc etc.

Edited (the amount of okay they all are is overwhelming) 2017-10-24 19:24 (UTC)

Fly free, little jay! ~~Just MAYBE stay away from~~ Fly free!

Edited (healthy!!! healthy!!!) 2017-10-24 19:29 (UTC)

I didn't mean to snap at you. I've been really tense and I ~~needed an excuse to~~ just really wanted to blow off some steam. I miss parties.
