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!

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.

[thebadkind]

And we'd all have the same one. Just in case we all get asked.

[Pearl]

Good! ❤ Then it was all totally worth it! You're gonna look gorgeous.

Fingers crossed for next month, then.

[opalescents]

THAT should be the handbook we REALLY get.
Do your parents ask a lot???

[Ces]
I'm gonna wear it SOOOO soon and I'm gonna do a TWIRL at you.
Double crossed.

And god, wood KNOCKED on, sorry if you DO get sick or whatever after this, it feels like every time I say ANYthing something bad happens?? Chances are I am NOT lightly psychic I guess???

[thebadkind]

My dad asks? But I just tell him that I'm not failing and I haven't broken anything. Which are both true, so that's okay, I guess?

[Pearl]

Can't wait!

Aw, I don't think you're jinxed. If I get myself into something, it'll be nobody's fault but mine.

[opalescents]

And even if you DID break something it wouldn't be broken ANYMORE so NO LIES are permanent!!!

[Ces]
Or TEEECHNICALLY the shadows and CLEARLY you're more than THEIR match.

[thebadkind]

Maybe I'll just stick with I'm not failing or dead?

[Pearl]

Nah. Just lucky, honey.

[opalescents]

Easy bets. SAFE bets.

[Ces]
Gosh. Don't tell me I have to enroll YOU in my Accepting Compliments school TOO?
