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?

[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???

[youredoinggreatsweetie]

What's BETTER than having something completely arbitrary to brag about babez

[opalescents]

IT'S TRUE?

But I Don't wanna be ACTUALLY expelled.

[youredoinggreatsweetie]

HMMMMMMM true true maybe save it for after finals??

[opalescents]

Our LAST activity as SENIORS and if we forget EVERYTHING else we'll both still have a DIPLOMA.

[youredoinggreatsweetie]

AND tbh we could totes do a WHOLE concept album around trying to fill in the blanks of our missing 3 years

[opalescents]

Ohhhh my god.
The Album of Lost Dreams with the People I Barely Know could be SUCH a good thing.

[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?

Atticus/Pearl

What's going on?

[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.

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.

[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.

Atticus/Pearl

[harmreduction]

Ah. Well.

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

[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]

[...] 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.

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'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]

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.

[youredoinggreatsweetie]

I'm getting a tattoo that says "don't forget to make a concept album with Pearl Kline" JUST IN CASE and it'll be like Momento but way less Christopher Nolan-y

[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.
