In Which Pearl Lies

[opalescents]

Welcome BACK EVERYONE! We MISSED you!!!!!!!

Soooooooo in some uuuh oopsies business???
I wanted to say.
I accidentally let some Stuff about Finchwood slip in a PHONE CALL to my [...] FRIEND from home named [...] Nadia yesterday a few days ago and I got a SUUUUPER bad headache? Like. The more I tried to say, the more my HEAD felt like it was closing in and I just had to stop.

So I guess just.

Careful around the contract, you guys. It'll come for your BRAINS.

[Warded to Francesca]
And you!

Oh no, Pearl! Do you want any Magnesium or Vitamin B2 for your headache? I’m happy to share :)

[opalescents]

OH NO this was a few days ago. I'm TOTALLY fine now.
THANK you though ♥!

Which one's B2?

[de_leon]

I'm glad you're feeling better!

B2, also known as Riboflavin, also known as the yellow capsules in my pill box, can help treat migraines :)

What did you tell your friend Nadia?

[opalescents]

Oh huh. COOL! I'll REMEMBER that.

UMMM I sent her a selfie? And she was like WOW PEARL why do your arms look GREAT! And I said well because I SHOOT ARROWS ALL THE TIME OF COURSE and she was like OH DO YOU HAVE AN ARCHERY CLUB And I said NOPE EVEN BETTER
.............

but then I couldn't say anything else because my head hurt.

[youredoinggreatsweetie]

SUPES weird??
Time to make a game out of it though

[opalescents]

HOW are you going to gameify this, my loveliest, I MUST know????

[youredoinggreatsweetie]

Okay SO

Megaphone

Edge of town

Try to say as much about the contract as you can

First person to puke or get expelled loses

[opalescents]

Ohhhh boy.
DANGER.
But such TEMPTING danger???

[thebadkind]

I feel like that maybe should've shown up in the handbook?

Like a strong need for a 'you shouldn't talk about it or else.' The or else was lacking a little.

[Pearl]

Yeah, honey?

[opalescents]

I meaaan at least the consequences weren't FATAL which I did kind of wonder about but god yeah??
CLEAR CUT CONSEQUENCES are always Appreciated!!!

I got the cape and it's beautiful and I'm NOT sure how else to thank you.
But thank you thank you thank you.
[...] If that WAS you but I don't know any other sewing geniuses.
[...] You helped So much last week, too.

[thebadkind]

It would definitely need to show up in the handbook. If the consequences were that bad.

But still. Full explanations of exactly how badly we need to open our mouths would probably be nice?

[Pearl]

Oh! You don't have to do anything! You mentioned it and it was something I could do, so I just [...] did? I'm just glad you like it!

You'd do the same thing, honey. So it's never a problem!

[opalescents]

I just wish they'd give us a good alternate story, you know?? So we don't have to think of what to say.

[Ces]
♥ ♥ ♥
I like it VERY much??
And I would. And I WILL. But I hope it doesn't happen to you.

What's going on?

Atticus/Pearl

[opalescents]

Sorrryyy. So I don't even THINK I have a friend named Nadia.

Someone else really DID almost tell something about here. And they were really [...] not ready to bring the attention of the school down on them but wanted to get the word out about what happened when the contract was being bent? So I said I'd just say it was me.

Atticus/Pearl

[harmreduction]

Ah. Well.

We all should have figured there'd be repercussions. They should be more careful.

Atticus/Pearl

[opalescents]

I think they will. It sounds like it was an accident. Something about saying their friends almost died last week and it was supposed to be a JOKE but then it SURE WASN'T?
So I thought people should know so they WOULD be careful? Especially with CHRISTMAS soon and everyone will be talking to normal people more.

[highercalling]

I [...] had something similar happen to me. Maybe I should have spoken up about it sooner.

It sounds like we couldn't reveal information about Finchwood even if we wanted to. Which is [...] a relief, in some ways. If you think about it.

[opalescents]

[...] YEAHHHH I mean we probably could if we pushed through the Magic Headache but at LEAST it'd be a conscious choice.
A vvvv painful conscious choice.

[highercalling]

I'm sure we could, but at this point, it's hard for me to imagine a scenario where we'd need to. It's the accidents I've been concerned about. It [...] can be hard to perfectly edit the details out of our lives.

Although, to be honest, I've gotten very fairly good at talking about nothing.

[opalescents]

It REALLY can.
I mean I don't ACTUALLY talk to a lot of people outside of here. So that makes it easy, too? And talking about nothing is ALSO much more fun anyway.

[lucillefer]

wtf

[opalescents]

Yeahhhh oops :(

[coalblooded]

Interesting. Do you think they have some way of surveiling us?

[opalescents]

Oooh.
Maybe our journals are bugged.

[coalblooded]

It's possible.
