Lodge well after curfew

[gwenniepop]

[all of this handwriting is very shaky]

[Ferdie, Rosy, Ennis]
Guys, I'm trapped in the classroom off the atrium, everything is locked and there's a ghost here who told me to get out. Ennis was supposed to come get me but he never showed, is he okay? Please come get me!

(roughly twenty minutes later)

[Big Fish and Calvin]

Rosy and Ferdie s got me, I'm ba back in the cabin. They said Ennis walked back with someone who was not me !. I fell asleep waiting for him, and when I woke up, this man ghost was there. But everythings I'm al okay now.

[Student Authority]

My prefects asked me to tell you whe what happened. I was in the studying in the atrium and had asked Ennis to come and get me. I was tired but I thought he'd ge wake me if I fell asleep. When I woke up, everything was dark and the doors were sh locked. How did no one see me I tried to unl Nothing worked I was going to send a message to my prefects but th I sa this ghost appeared. He I think it was a he, he said that children should be in bed, and he that he 'won't lose another one'. Then he kept telling me to go, but all the doors were locked, so I r went into the nearest classroom, which locked behind me.

Ennis says swears he walked me back to the cabin at nine, but I never left the atrium, not until now. Whatever walked back with him convinced him it was me. I did what I was supposed to

Don't be. I'm glad you are safe.[...] You are safe, right? They are coming to get me, I'll be okay.

Ok new rule: have a buddy wherever you go. That's twice now we've lost one of us to sleeping in the main Lodge somewhere. y'all stressing me out

Big Fish

[gwenniepop]

I thought I did. And there were people in the lodge! But somehow they were convinced this thing was me.

Big Fish

[un_kept]

No, I mean, never alone at all because he was only supposed to pick you up - and then who was he walking with which meant he was alone and is Ennis who we think he is right now or i

Who was Ennis walking with to go get you? Was anyone in the Lodge supposed to stay with you until Ennis came?

Student Authority & Gwen

[casperkim]

[...]

Fucking Harper.

Thanks for letting us know. We're all glad you're safe.

[...] Can we pass this information along to our cabins? I don't want more people making the same mistakes.

[Gwen]

Next time you need someone to walk you home, ask m You shouldn't trust Harper to

[...] Are you all right? If there's anything

Student Authority & Gwen

[gwenniepop]

I'm glad I'm

Thanks. [...] For what it is worth, I think everyone should know that we can be [...] copied.

[Casper]

No I need

This whole week is fired.

But I will be okay. [...] I only It convinced Ennis it was me. Why?

Student Authority & Gwen

[casperkim]

Everyone knows. And they've been told to be cautious and to verify identities through the journals. But apparently not everyone was listening. [...] It shouldn't happen again.

[Gwen]

I know. I'm sorry.

[...] It's difficult to say. General chaos seems to be the idea but that's too. We don't know any more than that yet.

Big Fish & Calvin

[evercreep]

Thank Merlin. I've been pacing around the campground all night with Cole. Not that I was searching for you like a madman but I suppose I might as well have been.

What sort of ghost? This place feels infested. It's nothing like Hogwarts. You know what those ghosts want, although the Bloody Baron's hardly anyone's friend.

Are you well? Anything wrong? Do you need anything? It's late, though, so you should sleep. Can you sleep?

Big Fish & Calvin

[gwenniepop]

I'm sorry you were worried. I was I feel stupid now, to be honest. I should have come back here, studied here.

He [...] was creepy. He was too hard to see but his voice [...] sounded awful.

I'll be okay.

[Calvin]

If I could come stay in your cabin, I would. I'm not okay.

Big Fish & Calvin

[evercreep]

No, no, don't apologise. I'm fine. None of this was your fault.

[Gwen]
Come over here anyway. Maybe you can't stay the night, but Milo won't mind if you're over late. I'll start up the fire and make tea, and we can talk until you're ready to go to sleep. Then I'll walk you back to your cabin.

Big Fish

[cmdrchloe]

I'm so glad you're okay! The idea of those [...] things that can look like us is so scary. And why? What was the point in pretending to let Ennis walk you back?

Big Fish

[un_kept]

To isolate her, delay anyone worrying, so they could get her alone?


[...] Sorry that was dark but [...] we should be prepared right? I can't think of another reason.

Unless Ennis was the target

Re: Big Fish

[gwenniepop]

Strangely, I do not feel any better.

Why me?

Big Fish

[browbeats]

Possibly to confuse us. Might have wanted us to go looking in the woods, though that doesn't seem to always be the goal. It wasn't when it looked like Chloe, I don't think.

Student Authority

[readingrainbows]

Oh wow, that's [...] really scary. Thank you for telling us!!! I GUESS we're going to have to be even MORE cautious than before.

[...] Are you okay? I hope so!

Student Authority

[gwenniepop]

I'm okay, Zachary. Thanks for asking. It wasn't that bad was just a ghost. [...] The doppleganger is worrisome but we know what we are supposed to do and we just need to do it.

Gwen, the following morning

[browbeats]

Okay, morning after check-in, how are you feeling? I was going to go talk to Mr. Hightower about double- and triple-checking to make sure none of us got left in the Lodge after curfew again and could use a buddy for the walk over.

Gwen/Rosy

[gwenniepop]

I'm okay. I'm up for the walk, and I'd like to ask him some questions as well. Calvin helped a lot last night.

Ennis feels really badly about what happened. Did you talk to him?

Gwen/Rosy

[browbeats]

I'm glad, it didn't seem like you were ready to go to sleep for a while yet.

I haven't followed up with him. I'll see if maybe Kurt or Ferdie want to check in and have some boytalk time.

Gwen

[cmdrchloe]

Are you [...] okay? I mean, I know you're not okay but. I mean, no one met my double, but it was still a bad feeling. So. [....] Sorry, I don't know what I mean.
