Sharp as a Seviper's Fangs

It boggles my mind that I’m making an official school announcement over rotomblr.

Hello, everyone of Blue Berry Academy! First and foremost, I’m Dr. Hesper Fòghnan, your new School Nurse. I'm hoping my hiring will make the school clinic operate all the more smoothly, and that I can support all students, staff, and faculty however you need.

Secondly, in aiming to get everything running smoothly as aforementioned, it's come to a head that we need to get new physical reports on file for... essentially everyone. I'm asking nicely for all of you to schedule an appointment with me so that we can get all of our documentation current. Feel free to take a look at my appointment calendar and pencil yourself into a free spot. Of course, I'm also available to answer questions remotely here.

I'm looking forward to meeting each of you!

Gosh, hey gang!

So, as evidenced by my very long absence from this blog (and the discord...), things have been crazy in my personal life, and I have not had the energy to dedicate to this blog, especially as it previously stood. I do think fondly of my memories and tenure on this blog, but some of the beats for Hesper's story as they were to be told here have been thought on too much and changed. For the better, I think, since I'm going to try and migrate some of those very nebulous ideas to a different project entirely.

However, that leaves me in a few pickles with this server. First, the obvious: Hesper vanished? and then came back? and was still able to maintain tenure with BBA? That doesn't sit right with me, especially with the break-neck paced, high-stakes events that happen in the BBA'blr space. I have no idea how to reintroduce Hesper as the "BBA Harmacist" without it being very awkward. Secondly, with the ideas that I have now, it feels disingenuous to play this version of this character.

So after much thought on the matter, I unfortunately think the best way to proceed forwards is to close my Pokéblr accounts. From there, I can either pivot into a less active, less intense blog format, or just create an out of character blog for this new project so that y'all can follow along (and it stops rattling around in my head so loudly).

I'm sorry if anyone was hoping for an earnest, eventual return to this blog! I do still love Pokémon, I do still love writing, and I do still love sharing stories within a collaborative Pokémon world... the new blog will, hopefully, help illustrate just how I'd like to go forwards with that.

Oh, duh. Agave.

Being honest with you, I have him blocked here, but I never said I thought he would? He's just complicated for me to be around, and I think he took my last asking him to steer clear of me a little harshly.

It seems to be a voicemail (under cut for potential verbal abuse tw)

It's curriculum offered outside of the traditional school year. Think Summer School, but on a weekly basis and typically attended by people that want to be at BBA over the summer, for one reason or another, rather than people attending for remedial purposes.

The girl that addresses you looks you over quickly.

"Well, welcome to BBA. The Elite 4 and Champion are already running around with some of the early birds, so I suppose I'm on to give you a tour. I'm Hesper Cluaran, Valedictorian of this year's penultimate class. I'm curious to see where you go and what you learn this week... I have a feeling I'll be seeing you around a lot."
