Dragons are the fucking coolest. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted anything more than to spend the summer hanging out with fire breathing babies.

And there would still be 90% less chance of death or bullshit than there is here.

[Coppertale Junior Girls]

We should consider cabin security measures.

[Ariadne]

Hi. Ready to trade notes?

[Heathcliff]

So Do You okay?

Can't wait for someone to bring you to a room full of human fire breathing babies.

I thought we were friends.

If we weren't friends I would have just said that to myself, laughed quietly, then wished I had actual friends to bask in my wit.

Fair point.

Dragon Appreciation Day: have you hugged your featherless, firebreathing dinosaur today?

They told me I wasn't allowed.

Honestly, you were wronged.

I fully agree. Losing my hair is a risk I'm willing to take to hug a baby dragon.

Half your hair singed off is pretty punk, anyway.

Same

I think you'd fit right in with dragons.

I'll lend you my notebook if you want to make a copy. I've mostly information on the ghosts, not the [...] strangers. We've got most of their names sorted out, and we've been keeping a list of sightings.

Thanks. You can copy mine as well. I've been keeping notes all year about everything I've been aware of. I've been trying to research things too, but take that with a grain of salt, since all our fuckery here seems to be unique.

I also have thorough notes about last year's events too, but half of them are encrypted still. Older Youngblood thinks he's funny.

I also have the transcription of the seance we did last year. [...] And Lucas learned a little about two of the ghosts from Ms. Petrichor.

[...] Did he mean for you to decipher them? I'm good at codes, but some are impossible to solve without a key.

I forgot it was even transcribed. I wonder how Petrichor found out?

I think so. He's been pretty helpful when I've written. I think he's just a paranoid fuck and also thinks he's funny. Youngerblood couldn't offer any helpful insights.

SO. COOL.

Think you'll run off and play dragon-whisperer, then?

[Fern]

~~TOTALLY.~~ ~~Why wouldn't I b~~ [...] You mean since Gooseberry's even MORE HAUNTED than we thought?

Is it weird to think of something that could eat you as adorable?

With any luck.

[Heathcliff]

[....] That. And other things.

How's your arm?

Nah! Lots of terrifying things are adorable. ~~Probably?~~

Nice. You seemed pretty cool with it all today! You're probably a NATURAL.

[Fern]

[...] Like people thinking I'm a shitty big brother and everyone talking about Pan stuff?

GOOD. [...] Well. Better. It's sore but not bad. You're kind of a pro, you know?

True. Tigers. Poison dart frog. Polar bears.

You think? I do breathe fire myself. Metaphorically.

[Heathcliff]

That. People saying stuff about us. And sure, more weird bullshit here.

Glad it's feeling better. I didn't really do anything though. Dad may be a shitty parent, but he's a good healer.

I BET you could make the jump to literal with a little help from the DRAGONS!

[Fern]

[...] Yeah. [...] I don't know. Honestly? I'm just trying not to think about it. I can't do anything about any of it anyway, right? [...] Are you okay?

You kidding? You knew what it was and what we needed to do until your dad could fix it. And you've got a WAY BETTER bedside manner than he does. Benchside manner? Whatever. [...] Plus, you being there gave ms something else to think about. It helped.

Edited 2018-01-17 02:47 (UTC)

Life goals right there.

[Heathcliff]

I'm [.....] sc angry.

Well, I'm glad I helped. Sorry I couldn't fix it for you.

[...] HEY. You've got every right to be angry, you know? Things were supposed to be better this year but now we're stuck dealing with shithead forest creatures and shithead ghosts and shithead STRANGERS. And a lot of classmates that aren't much better. We've got enough to worry about without all that. It sucks. I'm sorry you've gotta deal with it.

It's called Pre-Healer Studies for a reason. Don't worry about it.

All the adults do is lie and say "it's going to be fine now" which is bullshit. And I'm tired of all the shit that can read minds. It's fucked up. And [...] it's not like you're immune just because you don't think about it. You can't just stick your head in the sand. You need to be careful. ~~Not that it helps.~~

Yeah. I know. They're trying and they want it to be true but that doesn't make it true. ~~My parents are probably going to flip when they hear about~~

[...] I KNOW I'm not immune. But what am I supposed to do? Digging into it just seems like asking for trouble and I'm not, like, a duelist or a DADA whiz or anything. Learning my Patronus was a fluke and who knows if it'd help anyway. I just hope you and I can stay out of it. I hope my roommates and Pan and Phi can stay out of it.

You don't have to ask for trouble for it to find you. I know. None of us can stay out of it as long as we're here. And at least you can cast a patronus. I can't. But I'm still going to try to do what I can instead of sitting on my hands and waiting for the next time some capricious forest entity tries to kill me. [....] Yeah. Hopefully.

Whoa. Hey. Fern. [...] Talk to me?

~~I'm~~ It's fine. Just be careful.

~~It doesn’t seem~~ Yeah. OKAY. I’ll be careful.

You too, okay? You can’t breath fire yet.

Yeah, I will.

~~Like, not the weird crap Charlie does, right?~~

Like, booby trapping the door security measures? Or something else?

And maybe we should sit down and plan buddy-systeming some. We don't always have to go together, obvs, but might be good just work out all the convenient ones together.

That's one option. They must be corporeal, if they're kissing people.

Robin sent me the plans for the traps he used to put around the senior boy's cabin. Filling them with glitter might not deter spooky shit with a mind for chaos, and we can't put anything in them that would hurt anyone, but maybe we could fill them with some other deterrent. Something sticky?

Agreed. I'd say we should also perhaps have a code word by which to gauge whether someone is real but hey apparently they're fucking mind readers, so there goes that.

Worth a try, anyways. [...] Honestly, maybe even just a loud noise is a good enough deterrent. I'm not against sticky crap. Or, like... I guess even something that stings might just be more shitty for normal people, not mimics.

We're just going to have to use journals for making sure people are who they say they are, I think. For a hot second I thought about keeping some, like, identifying special object on ourselves, but if they can turn into us they can probably make crap, too. So. That's also out probs.

Maybe. At the least, it would give us warning. But person sized glue traps are an option to keep on the table.

I'd had the same thought. No friendship tattoos after all.

For sure. If people are sneaking up on our cabin they deserve that shit, anyways. [...] speaking of, we should do some crap around the windows.

I mean, we can still get a friendship tattoo.

True on both accounts. What could we do to windows?

Shit. When do you wanna go?

Uhhh, well, we could just seal them up good for now since it's winter anyways. Otherwise... alarms? Dumping icy water on anyone who tries to open them?

Next time we're together outside of Gooseberry it's onnnnnnn.

Oh, I like the ice water.

Sure. What should we get?

Yeah, it'll suck ass in this weather.

Is a fox too predictable?

Yeah, and anyone messing with us deserves it, supernatural or not.

Maybe. Fox with a knife?

EXACTLY.

And some hearts and blood.

I'd say that sums us up pretty well.

I am honestly completely seriously absofreakinglutely reconsidering my life goals.

Whatever they were before, they aren't as cool as dragons.

Goodbye life of international espionage, I'm going off the grid to be a dragon's best girl.

Please don't forget to write!
