SECRET STUDENT SEANCE

Drama Club president Micah St. Clair makes sure the auditorium is cleared out in the evening, in time for a secret seance involving select members of the junior class. Their goal: to enlist the help of Gooseberry's ghost children in monitoring the MACUSA presence. The Living Kids–Dead Kids Alliance is a go!

When the crew sneak one by one into the auditorium, they'll find a large table set up onstage, the same one from the winter play, complete with a black tablecloth and an old Ouija board in the center. White candles on tall candelabras (also repurposed stage props) surround the table for some ~mood lighting~, and Micah orders everyone into their seats and the lights turned down low as they set up to contact the spirits. Zachary Zheng is stationed outside the main entrance to the auditorium, tasked with keeping any inquistive students/teachers/Aurors from poking their heads in.

HOW THIS WORKS

• The seance starts at 7 PM and will last one or two hours, depending on how things go. The kids will get out in time for the lodge to close for the night.


• This IC/OOC is only open to Ari, Bash, Calvin, Cole, Essie, Fern, Hazel, Jade, Jeffy, Lucas, Micah, and Zach.


• Everyone will be allowed to keep asking questions until 8 PM MT*, at which point the seance will end. *If we decide to extend the seance for an hour, we'll make note of it in the OOC section.


• As this is happening before curfew and not in a forbidden area, no one is breaking the rules. However, staff still frowns upon trying to contact the ghosts, so if anyone is caught at this, they may receive a stern talking to.

» Arrivals: For making plans, sneaking in, or showing off your seance outfits.

» The Ouija Board: Where all the action is! Ask your questions here. Answers will come from the gooseburied journal.

» Observers: For those of you who don't want to risk ghost possession by touching the planchette.

» Departures: As in leaving the auditorium after the seance is over, not death. Ha ha ha.

Comments

QUESTIONS: Jeffy

[gooseburied]

The planchette circles around the top of the board for a few seconds, almost indecisively, before settling on YES. When Essie speaks, it moves down to start spelling:

NAMES.

QUESTIONS: Jeffy

[odder]

They've been through all this; she's not worried. "I'm Jade. What's your name?"

QUESTIONS: Jeffy

[stclair]

They should all probably be more sensible about this, but Micah doesn't hesitate. He speaks right after Jade: "Micah St. Clair!"

QUESTIONS: Jeffy

[bubblewrapped]

Lucas heaves a heavy sigh. "This is how you get a dybbuk." A familiar lament. Still, he says. "I'm Lucas."

QUESTIONS: Jeffy

[lilwitchhazel]

Here they go again. Hazel's go her hands on the planchette, but her wand is sitting in her lap, ready to be grabbed up at a moment's notice. Even so, she speaks up without hesitation. "Hazel."

QUESTIONS: Jeffy

[magitechnically]

This is just being helpful. If the ghost needs to contact them later. "I'm Essie."

Re: QUESTIONS: Jeffy

[racingstripe]

Jeffy looks from left to right. Well... Henry had asked for their names and it was fine, right? "I'm, uh, Jeffy!"

QUESTIONS: Jeffy

[colemoss]

This isn't anything they haven't done before and Cole doesn't hesitate any more this time than he did last time. "Cole Moss... hi."

QUESTIONS: Jeffy

[professionalcorpse]

Bash leans forward in his spot to reach and his leg bounces, less from nerves and more from the effort of sitting still. "Sebastien," he says, even if the whole thing always sounds strange in his mouth.

QUESTIONS: Jeffy

[nothalfplaid]

This feels just as stupid as the last time, but here they still are, and Fern only sighs before declaring, "Fern."

QUESTIONS: Jeffy

[novelling]

Well, if everyone else is doing it. "Ari."
