☀ 005 ☀

[seeringlight]

I've moved the date to the 26th. It shouldn't make a difference, but I want to make sure everyone is well informed that the party will be happening a day before.

But I need some help, mostly in decorating. I have food and refreshments already handled, but I'm at a loss as to how to decorate and clean up the entire classroom on my own. I'm looking for volunteers who would chip in to helping me. I will make it worth your while. I would not ask for labor without a reward.

Also, pumpkins. If anyone is interested in submitting a carved pumpkin, please do so. They will all be part of the decorations and the best pumpkin will receive a prize. This is not the time to joke and submit a pumpkin with a phallic image carved into it. I will not accept anything that isn't appropriate!

A prize will also be given out for best costume, so I encourage to dress up!

Also, could I perhaps request the Music club for entertainment? I will gladly join in, but I cannot be playing music the entire time since I am the host. I don't really have any other means for music and entertainment otherwise. Dancing will be involved so I would really hope that we have music accompanying it. You can't really dance without music. That would be rather silly.

C'est tellement fatigant ...

[Bro is still just kind of. avoiding everyone. But when he sees this, he can't help but cease radio silence. She's reminding him a whole lot like her mom here, and it's kinda comforting. Though he's not going to be stupid enough to actually say it.

He filters his response though, simply because he doesn't want anyone seeing him. He's not ready to face the world yet.]

I'll help clean up.

[SUSPICIOUS. She is so suspicious about this whole filtered business. But she's not going to say anything about it even though he's fairly suspicious as to why it was even worth slapping a filter on something where you're just agreeing to clean up.]

Unless you fear people judging you for wanting to be rewarded for your efforts, I can't understand why this required filtering.

[Spoiler. She still brought it up ANYWAYS.]

[Ink....blot...s...]

Uh.

It doesn't have anything to do with that.

I'm just kinda laying low right now. Don't wanna deal with very many people. I don't wanna be seen.

Has the events that transpired really done enough of a number for you to crawl into anonymity in an attempt to let things blow over?
Really now.
What in the bloody blazes is going on?
You cannot convince me that this is because you decided to get rough with a fellow professor.

[Well. That was a surprisingly forward.

Bro stares at the reply for a long time, conflicting emotions boiling up all around. He's already told Dirk the truth. It was difficult and hard, but he managed to get through it. And if there's anyone he would trust with this, somehow it's Rose. Rose is mature and intelligent and rational. They may not have the best relationship, but he feels like he can trust her with anything. Maybe it's because she's a Lalonde and reminds him so much of Roxanne.

Either way, it doesn't matter. The only thing that does is that he feels like he can and should tell her. He doesn't think she'll take it badly. He's nervous, but. If Dirk can accept it, he knows for a fact Rose can too.]

You're right. There's a lot more to it than that. I punched him for a lot of reasons. The biggest is that he's a huge bag of dicks who can't mind his own business and stay out of people's shit.

The other reason is that I was really upset.

I mean, I'm sure you heard the commentary. Made it sound like I was up Donoghue and Matteris's ass the entire time, didn't it? Well it wasn't far off. I was distracted the whole time.

Murdoc- Professor Donoghue, that is- and I are...

Well. It's complicated. I don't know what we are.

And some of the shit that happened in the match pissed me off. So I punched Rhydderch afterwards to blow some steam. It was really fucking stupid of me, but it is what it is and I can't change that.

But yeah, I guess I just figured I should tell you you're right, and that there was way more to it than that.

If you've got any questions, you're more than welcome to hit me with them. I know it's a huge clusterfuck of bullshit. So if I can clarify anything, then I'll try.

Also I think it goes without saying, but don't tell anybody.

Placeholder, if that's fine with you?

[thegluethatbinds]

I'm impressed Ms Lalonde. It's quite a task to organize such a large event. I'd like to volunteer myself to help with decorations and clean-up, if you don't mind.

That's totally fine!

[seeringlight]

I underestimated the amount of work it would take when I decided this at first, unfortunately.
Any help would be a godsend at this point.
I really do appreciate the offer.

Thanks!

[thegluethatbinds]

It's no problem at all. If it's all the same to you, I'd like to contribute towards the prize for the costume competition as well.

Don't worry about it uwu take your time!

[seeringlight]

Any contribution will be taken whole heartedly. I just wanted to give my fellow peers something to look forward too while trying to entice them to dress up.

[marshall_lee]

Well, if the entire Music Club can't make it I'll at least play for you. I know my typical style isn't exacty tea party appropriate but I think I can come up with a few things.

Um, do you have any requests or things that you don't want played?

[seeringlight]

It doesn't have to be tea party appropriate! I would be happy for anything you can bring honestly. I think your judgment is just as good as the next person.
If anything, it'll give a new whirl to things!
Although I would like to try and hold off anything that might involve screaming or screeching if that's possible.

[marshall_lee]

No worries..no screamo from me.

I think I can come up with something. I can keep it quieter while people are eating and such and when it's time to dance we can kick it up.

[seeringlight]

I'm sure you have a lovely screaming voice, nonetheless.

That would be heavenly. Don't forget to take a break of course. Next time we go to Hogsmeade, seek me out. I will be more than happy to get you something from Honeydukes or the Three Broomsticks for the trouble. It means a lot to me. Honest.

[bubblingover]

I will be more t)(an )(appy to )(elp out with setting up and cleaning up!!

o)( i am really looking forward to t)(is party!! i've already set a count down to t)(e party.

[seeringlight]

Thank you. I really appreciate it!

I'm charmed you're so excited. I didn't think people would be so interested in this, honestly. A pleasant surprise!

[bubblingover]

Just tell me w)(at time and w)(ere and i will be t)(ere!

I guess t)(e w)(ole idea is just fun! I mean parties are always fun but like maybe its t)(e dressing up factor? well for me, it is anyway!

[seeringlight]

We'll be using Professor Vantas' classroom for it. He has already given me permission. I'll be setting up a few hours ahead, so anytime before is welcomed.

Dressing up is rather enjoyable. I'm jut unsure as to what to wear yet. It's completely left my mind.

[ficklefuckwit]

Ooh! Can i help?

Jake no you're just the cutest of cute i can't handle

[seeringlight]

Of course! I would appreciate it very much.
School isn't overwhelming you or anything, is it? I wouldn't want you to try and help if you already have a lot on your plate.

he tries

[ficklefuckwit]

Hoorah!
Not at all. Im quite enjoying my lessons and im really starting to get the hang of things i think. Its a bit of a learning curve but ill make it! School is just as much of an adventure as i always hoped it would be.

I cant handle these two babies

[seeringlight]

Don't hesitate to ask if you ever need help. There are plenty students, such as myself, who will be more than willing to help if need be.
Have you considered what to wear to the party yet?

[nomorals]

I got your back for music, Lalonde.

I wonder if Merida would kill me if I tried to drag her along to a tea party...

[seeringlight]

Thank you! Remind me to repay you for your kindness.

You should convince her. There will be dancing and dressing up. I can't see how it wouldn't be fun. Even for her.

[nomorals]

I'll take candied eyeballs as payment. Those things are like an addiction.

Hmm...well she doesn't really like girly stuff. I'm not sure a tea party is up her alley.

[seeringlight]

Next Hogsmeade trip, remind me so I can acquire the goods. That sounded rather scandalous. Hohoho~

I'm sure she wouldn't mind if you really wanted her to go.
