Hey, everyone. Happy Command Day. March Fourth.

I wish I could come to you with real news instead of just another layer of cryptic warnings.
And maybe this is nothing. But just in case:

Please consider being careful with what you say for the next little while. Just in case. I just had [...] a feeling our secrets might not be secret as we think. I wish I had more details.
This is [...] a Divination-based warning, not a cloaked message from the government/teachers kind of warning, so take it as you will.
And technically you should be watching what you say, at the best of times.

[Student Authority]
I don't have any more answers than that. And I'm sorry if it stirs up more problems.
But I wasn't wrong, before, and figured everyone should know. So. Let me know if there are any issues, I'll be there.

Oh. [...] Cool.

Student Authority

[ferdie]

I wish I'd have better predictions, too, for a change.

Student Authority

[browbeats]

Is that a thing you can work on? Think positive thoughts while you Divine.

Student Authority

[ferdie]

Not really. The water just says what it wants to say.
And what it wants to say is shut up, keep your own secrets,apparently.

Student Authority

[browbeats]

Guess the water's keeping its own secrets too. I guess I just won't run around spilling my guts to all and sundry for now, as much as I love to do that.

[ferdie]

I thought this would be hard for you. Sorry.

It’s encouraging that y’all keep warning us bout predictions you can’t fully understand even tho warning us hasn’t protected us yet.

Keep fighting the good fight. It’ll help one day, eventually, probably

[ferdie]

We hope so.

[taxation_is_theft]

k so be careful with what we say out loud or on the journals? Or to ourselves when we’re alone, or to what we say in class? bc y’all should’ve already done been secretive bout your secrets that’s literally what secret means.

How will we know when a little while is over? Is that a real measure of time like “a moment” which is like thirty seconds or some shit?

[taxation_is_theft]

Should we make up a secret code


this feels like the right time to make up a secret code

[ferdie]

That seems like a good foolproof solution.
If there was a definite timeframe, or definition of "secrets", I would've said. This is what I know. I'll clarify if I can. Thanks.

[taxation_is_theft]

k bet

Imma come up with a code we can use forever I’m on it

[...] We seriously need to revisit the things you're asking the wind about.

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

I just asked what people could do to stay safe.
I guess I wasn't really expecting an answer.

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

I [...] can't say I'm much of a fan of the answer. But something's better than nothing. We'll just have to take up passing notes in class.

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

[...] If that's safe. We'll just talk quietly.

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

[...] Sorry, I'm teasing and I shouldn't be. Whatever you're comfortable with.

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

At this point I don't really know what not to be comfortable with.
I guess it's not like I shout about my secrets, anyway.

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

No, you should be fine.
I'll try to be more thoughtful about what I'm saying.

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

[...] Alternatively, we colloborate with Youngblood on his secret code.

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

Pass, thanks. We could make our own, though.

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

Not your idea of enjoyable underclassman bonding?

I'm up for playing spies. I'll write you an encoded love letter and then good luck at reading it.

Idea: School-wide vow of silence for the rest of the year.

Oooooooooooor be an open book and then who cares what people hear you say.
