@felixisahudson DM: Hey Valeria. If you’re free…Do you want to come over?

Valeria wastes no time in sending back a quick “I’m on my way, Sir!” and making her way to the other’s suite. Before she leaves, she grabs some leftover dinner just in case Felix hadn’t eaten yet. Upon arrival, she foregoes kneeling at his door and simply knocks, greeting him with a bright smile. “I brought food, just in case, Sir. It’s okay if you’ve eaten already, we can save it for another time but I was quite worried. Are you okay?”                                                                          

A few things. One, let’s give a big ass round of applause for the dance team. You guys fuckin’ killed it out there. No surprise, had no doubts or whatever. But shit, you guys rocked it. And while we’re on the subject of rock- Two, let’s give another round of applause for Theo and Vic, for that cool fuckin’ show. Been a while since I got hype like that. 

Now that we’ve gotten that outta the way. What’s everyone been up to? 

@tgaimportant​

I wondered when I might see your face out again, it’s good to see. You’re right, the Dance Team came to slay and they did. I never thought they wouldn’t, they’ve got all those titles and a national reputation for a reason. On the Vic and Theo front, hell yeah. They knocked and rocked the house down, I hope they do it again soon. We all need a little more of that relaxation stuff going on. And the fun. The fun is definitely the best. We’ve got so many musicians, rockstars, and other talents in our midst, we should have something like that every weekend. I’m glad to see someone out here giving props where they’re due. You learned well young Padawan. 

You know me. A whole lot of nothing. What about you?

Thank you to everyone who voted in the Mark Leader Election! I know I ran unopposed, but it still means a lot that people believed in me enough to vote for me instead of abstaining. I want everyone to know that I am planning on taking this as seriously as it deserves to be taken. I already have so many ideas, and I can’t wait to set them into motion. To begin, I want to open the floor to my fellow Switches. I would really like some feedback, to hear what it is you’re all specifically hoping to see improve here for those carrying the new mark. What challenges have you faced? What questions do you have? What would be most beneficial to you at this stage of things? Let me know, I want to hear from each of you!

I don’t want anyone to think they’ve been forgotten. While these elections were to unify the marks, with the way things have been going I think we could all do with some unity. I’m working on another idea for this weekend. One that I hope will help everyone start to rebuild some of these bridges. I’m not going to reveal what it’s for, because I don’t want that to be used as a reason people don’t attend, or skip out. But, I would like for everyone- and I do mean everyone- to leave their name and mark down below. I’ll release the “why” later. Just know that this is for an event that will require participation this weekend. It won’t be massive and it won’t take up too much time, but it will happen in parts, and it will require some effort. So again, please just leave your name and mark down below, and leave the rest to me! I hope I’ll see everyone responding soon. 

@tgaimportant​

Congrats Darrean. It’s really obvious you’re going to be great at this. You already are. As for your event, count me in. Felix Hudson, Dominant. 

I think there’s a good reason why only so many people have replied to this. They’re afraid of the truth, Sir. I feel like I’ve only gotten the opportunity to speak to like, 7 people since I’ve gotten back, it’s pretty sad to be honest. Feel a bit out of place most of the time too. Maybe it’s just me, or maybe it’s the accent that’s scaring them away. There could also be the fact that we’re in the minority of people who don’t like drama. Sometimes feels like everyone else feeds off it and get’s more powerful or whatever. Kinda odd, but who am I to judge what gets you off, ey? — But if you ever want some company, please just let me know. If the pet fair is still going on then I’ll definitely accompany you to that or if you just want to hang out and watch a movie I could do that too. 

I’ll admit that’s not where I thought that statement was going but I appreciate it Beckett. Wow, I’m sorry to hear that. If I contributed to that I’m sorry, I hope I didn’t miss something but if I did, I take the responsibility. I think you are in the just right place, if you’re looking for my opinion. People make things hard, that’s obvious, but it shouldn’t be. Not for you especially. I know what you mean. Usually I avoid it like the plague but sometimes I feel like something needs to be said even by the cooler-headed crowd. That would be really nice Beckett, I’d like the chance to spend some time and get to know you better. Are you free this weekend?

Anytime this week would be great for me, I’d really enjoy lunch. Maybe Thursday? — I can see what you mean though, about it being people not marks, I just think the sentiment behind it was thoughtful and could help some find a safe space. The more safe spaces the better in my opinion. Maybe it will allow people of all marks to join in unity but that could also just be me being my usual optimistic self. Aside from replying to as many people as possible what other solutions are there? We can’t force people to reply to talk to each other, some of us are trying really hard to reply and converse and get involved with everyone and those that want to stay in their own circles will continue to do so and I’m having a hard time finding a solution.  And no, no pet for me! I definitely thought about it but with my schedule I just don’t think I’d be able to give it the proper care if deserves. Maybe a fish. 

PM: Thank you for sharing this with me, though I clearly won’t be able to write as much as you did, I will say that I read every word. And I get what you’re saying. I really do. I especially agree that it would be insane to believe that everyone would be nice I thought we could at least all be civil. Again, maybe it’s my belief in the good of people. And I’m not ignorant or blind to things, I know what people like  Malakai and the Flannagans are. And I know how to speak to them, even people like Reg I’ve had no issue with. But just like the Flannagans or Smythe’s can’t change who they are, neither can the submissives or switches. Rules are rules, especially here, and there are obviously consquences to not following them but the submissices and switches being the only ones who have to bend to those rules hurts. Not everyone is like me and is easy to follow the rules and submit. It’s like one dominate scares the shit out of one of the submissives and suddenly they’re an entirely different person, it’s a bit archaic. But it’s a fair point to say that Reg had a point too, there’s always two sides to things and as a journalist I understand you should never double back on your word. 

Maybe I’m not making any sense at all. But, you are my best friend and my brother, Felix, I know what you’ve done for so many students in fear and I can’t even put into words how much I look up to you for it. And the other reason I love you is that you can think objectively when I’m being emotional. And I will never expect this place to be rainbows and butterflies. I think it’s just scary at times, but if I keep a close eye on what I say then at least I can avoid what I need to. Thank you again for being so open to conversation with me. 

Thursday sounds good, come to my suite at about 12:30, we’ll eat and be merry. I agree. I really support everything Ross, Campbell Clarington, Sophia St. James, Theo and Vic Sterling, and all the others are doing to try and get us all out of this funk. It’s nice to see a place of unity. I know what you mean with that which is part of why I said what I said. At the very least, it’s important to put out there that these people are hurting others. Maybe that won’t matter, and there’s your example of my own humanitarian nature. But, at the very least, letting them know that we all do see it is important I think. That makes sense, you have to make the best decision for yourself and the animal in question. I do think you would do well with a fish though. And the aquariums are relaxing. I got a bird. 

DM: I know this is going to be a mile long too. And even if you don’t respond to it, I hope you read this too. Really I do. Because it’s important Fletch. Thank you for reading it, I understand. I know I had a lot to say, I’ve also been back a little longer than you have this time so I have had a little longer to stew on some of the things I’ve seen. I’ve seen you interacting with all of the above and you have done really well. I will say I got a little concerned about the interaction I was seeing between you and Killian, and I thought about stepping in but I wasn’t going to do you the disrespect of putting you in a position to be a damsel. You’re not. But you need to know I was watching. I’ve got your back and I will always. I will have to disagree with you on that though Fletcher. I know that it may seem like that, that it’s only the Subs and Switches who have to bend to this stuff, but that’s not the reality either. It’s easier for me because of how we were raised and how I believe but this is a whole new world for all of us. No longer can Subs (and Switches technically) be punished when a Dominant believes they should be. And yeah in a lot of ways that’s a good thing, but what about those Subs who think it gives them a right to just be disrespectful as hell to anyone and everyone? I’m not overbearing and I’m never going to come out of the blue with a punishment or a harsh word for anyone. I give Subs and Switches the freedom to be themselves. But people like Reg, like Beau, like Malakai, like Zoe, like Kady, like the Flanagans...They weren’t raised on the same diet. And that’s something to understand too. That when you’ve been told you make all the rules and hold all the power, and not just told that but you’ve been GIVEN that responsibility and then JUDGED on what you do with it your entire life, then all of a sudden it’s not there, and you have to get used to a whole new way of life, that’s bending. And that’s the part of this no one seems to get either. I’m surprised a little, with you having been a former Domme. 

You know how harshly we were judged, what the expectations were, and how staunch it all was. Your entire name and reputation rested on your ability to control. To hold that power. You know how badly people picked on me and made fun of me and looked down on me for how I was. And now, it’s the cool thing to be. But it wasn’t back then. I was ignored then and I’m ignored now too, but that’s beside the point. I’m just saying I don’t think the Subs and Switches are the only ones who have to bend at all. This is new for everyone. And honestly if that’s the route we’re wanting to go, isn’t it even harder now for Dominants than it is for Subs and Switches? Because in reality, the power is yours now. Everyone’s mad that people are asking for respect, which should be given off the bat no matter what your mark is and no matter who you are, but at the end of the day...That is what has always been expected of a Submissive to the world. That isn’t new. And now they have the freedom to choose if they will submit, to choose if they will consent, and that’s not a bad thing, but it is a new thing for Dominants. The world has changed for the negative in the eyes of many Dominants. But it has been nothing but positive for Subs and Switches. Things swung in your favor. I’m glad it did, but that’s hard for some people. So I love you and I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with Subs and Switches being the ones who are hurting the most, or being the only ones who have to bend. It’s just not true, becaue they don’t have to bend anymore. All they have to do is say no. Dominants no longer have that either. It used to be that all the time these Dominants could do whatever. Now, they have no power beyond what a Subissive or Switch allows. And understanding that is where that objectivity comes in. And no, scared Submissives aren’t a cool thing. You’re right. I hate that. But also Fletch, you do realize that what you’re talking about (and yes I know who and what you are talking about) was consentual. If that Sub hadn’t consented to that punishment it wouldn’t have happened. And if it had anyway? One note to the Headmistress and that Domme would have been punished herself. Notice that didn’t happen. So what I’m seeing here, objectively speaking and my own feelings removed, is a Submissive garnering sympathy for something they consented to, which is manipulative and not good either.

 And really, not even just consented to but asked for, because they continued to be disrespectful when called out for it. Those are the rules. It goes back to the exact same thing Parker poorly put here. Not just here at school but out in the real world, if you don’t follow the rules, you face consequences. That Submissive had the option to remove herself from those consequences, and no matter how disrespectful she was (which she was, there is no arguing that point) she would have been home free and clear, no consequences. Because again. That’s how this new world swings in your favor. There’s where that Dominant bending comes in. And the truth is, if you’re not looking to get your face mauled, then be wise enough not to try to pet a bear. I don’t agree with what happened no matter how you spin it, but I don’t think it’s right to publicly consent to something, not pull your consent, and then use what happened to you to try and make people turn against a Domme who was doing what she has always been known for doing. It’s the exact same situation as Reginald and Parker, just on a different field. That stuff is taken so seriously now. I’m glad we can understand each other on those points. 

You are making sense, you are. And I will always hear and value your thoughts on all of these matters. I just think that in this instance my beautiful sister, you’re seeing things from a little bit of a narrow tunnel. I love you. I don’t mean that in a mean way. I’m just saying that’s what I’m seeing from where I’m sitting. We all have our own things, and I love you just how you are. I just think these situations are ones that as hard as it is, you have to remove your feelings about what’s happening right now right in front of your salad, and think about the roots of these things. Think about where these things are coming from and what the core issue is, not the dramatics you’re being presented. You’ll be okay, Fletch. Just keep doing what you’re doing, and let me know if you need anything or if you get into a sitaution you don’t feel okay with. I’ll take care of it and I’ll take care of you always. 

fWell, I know for me personally, I’m happy to see you around more. I’m sorry that you feel so frustrated with everything and I swear that if there’s anything I can do you know I’ll always jump on the opportunity. You know what I think we need? To hang out. We haven’t gotten together once since I got here and honestly that’s totally unacceptable. I think the new mark free space will improve the treatment and connection to those around us, I mean I think that’s at least the hope of it all right? Same with the pet fair. I didn’t end up getting any animals but did you find someone to go with?

PM: I think Parker’s point was important though, and he may not have gone about it the right way but generally the idea stands that people are still people and consent and communication with submissives matter. I was in civil conversation with him but there were a lot of dominates that scared me, Felix. I sort of holed up for a few days, I won’t lie. 

Thanks, Fletcher. It’s nice to know at least someone is. I’ll let you know if there is, I will. Yeah, hanging out would be good. We do need to see each other and get caught up. When is best for you? I’ll make lunch for us. I hope that it will, I think you’re right in saying that it’s the point of things. I don’t know, though. I don’t have a lot of faith in much right now. Because I don’t think that, at the end of the day, this is a mark issue. It’s a people issue. I’m seeing it just as much from the Switches and Subs on campus as I am the Dominants. Still, I hope that having a space meant for unity will help, yes. I’m surprised you didn’t get a pet, I thought for sure you would have! But yes, I did end up going with a couple of people a couple of different times, I had a ball and I did get a pet. 

DM: Look, the thing is Fletch, no one ever said that his original point was wrong. That’s what a couple people were getting caught up in. And really, let’s rewind a little here because, people are acting surprised about certain people feeling certain ways, which is just ludicrous to me. It is no secret who these people are and how they believe. Reginald has always been Reginald just like Beau Smythe has always been Beau Smythe and Malakai Abrams has always been Malakai Abrams and the Flanagans have always been the Flanagans. Why any of that is coming as a shock to anyone is really beyond me, and leads me to think people need to pay a lot more attention. Which ironically enough circles back to my original point- people don’t want to do anything unless it’s with the people in their direct bubble. Shoving heads up butts does nothing but  make sure that when the time comes and people decide to rejoin the real world, people look really foolish and out of touch when they’re surprised about people doing things that are and have always been in character. It just makes very little sense to me. I’ve been a liberal before liberals were even a thing, and you know that too. But I’m not ignorant to reality, and this is just how things are. Not everyone is nice. Not everyone is your best friend. And this is like...The first full year of these rules being in place. If anyone, and I love you Fletch but this includes you too, ever thought for a second that everyone would be totally on board and there would be no discourse over things...They’re fooling themselves. 

I don’t disagree with Parker’s point, Fletcher, and I never said I did. Like I did say, I have been a liberal since before liberal was a wide-spread term. You know as well as I do how many Submissives I harbored and sheltered to save them from punishment. How much I disagreed with how things were. But the thing is, when you think objectively Fletcher, Reginald wasn’t wrong. He wasn’t. Because the argument WAS NOT over Parker’s initial point or post. The argument was that by his own words, no matter how much he wants to deny it, what he said was that it was foolish for Dominants to expect to be titled off the bat because that’s just how some Subs are. Okay, that’s fine and dandy. I don’t flip out if I’m not titled because that’s who I am, but that doesn’t mean I don’t notice and that doesn’t mean that sometimes I wouldn’t like a little bit of respect. Because like it or not, it is actually and in fact a school rule that Dominants are titled off the bat. Brat or not. Agree with the system or not. Traditional, liberal, or Flying Spaghetti Monster. That’s just what the rule is. And that was Reginald’s point. Yeah, I don’t think he presented it in the best way he could, but he’s Reginald Huggins. That’s who he is. He’s at McKinley for a reason. Anyone who holds any fallacies about any of that should look at things a little harder. And not just that, but I’m sorry, things wouldn’t have gone the way they did if Parker had been able to owning up to his own words. Do I agree with the way it was handled? No, I don’t. But this also isn’t the first time I’ve seen him doubling back on the things he’s said. So in that way, I agree with Reginald too. It is a school rule, and if you’re going to say something, say it with your entire chest, or don’t say it. 

I’m sorry you felt that way, Fletcher, I really am. If I could protect you from it, I would. But that’s the reality of TGA. Stuff like that isn’t unusual here. Things like that happen all the time. Not everyone is a great person. Not everyone cares to hold their tongue in the way you or I might have. And to be honest, what you saw the other night was just a small, small taste of how things go. It wasn’t anywhere near the worst of what we’ve seen this year alone, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Because again, with so many powerful and explosive personalities here, and with these laws being so new it’s going to happen. TGA has never been known for being a happy go lucky place. It is the most prestigious place, the best of the best, but it has never and will never be rainbows. It’s just not, and I think it’s just part of the package. I see where you’re coming from, I do. And I love you no matter what. But there has to be a level of objectivity here. And that’s just my thoughts. And now I’ll drop it, but I felt that it was important to say. I hope you’re doing good. I can’t wait to see you, let me know when you want to get together. 

Hi. I’m going to skip over the controversial stuff because frankly, there’s been enough of it. I haven’t been to the pet fair, but I’m talking to Nick about it. I think we’re going to go. Do you want to come with us? Or I could go with you separately, I don’t need Nick to come to want to hang out with you. How are you?

That’s fine, I understand your choice. For the record I’m not usually involved in it either, but I couldn’t hold my tongue anymore. Yeah, that would be really nice Harold! Just let me know when you’re looking at going and I’ll tag along! Thanks, that’s cool of you. We should hang out more. I’m doing okay, just trying to survive. What about you?

I was actually wondering why you had been so silent lately, but you know I always liked giving you your own space. But it sounds you had a lot going through your mind. I think I know what you mean about the things that happened, and how it all escalated so quickly. I agree that sometimes some things should be considered before you say them, believe me. I know all there is about talking first and thinking later. But I also believe that not every single is going to think the same way of others. That’s the beauty of having this big palette of people and opinions and characters to mix, and to learn from another. I agree to healthy discussions, but sometimes I think some people take it too far. On that matter, I’m pretty much like you said. I like staying in the back, which doesn’t mean I don’t take it all in. As for you feeling you have nothing to offer, I disagree. I’ve heard people being very happy about the way you’re running the soccer club. That’s huge for all the members of your team. The fact that you’re lay back doesn’t mean you don’t have anything to offer. But again, I get what you mean. It’s hard to relate to some people when all they do is simply talk and parade with the ones they have an interest for. That could be disheartening. Did you end up going to the pet fair? I see a lot of people got a pet there. 

Yeah, I tend to withdraw when I’m upset. I do, yeah. I no doubt agree with what you’re saying about others having their own opinions. No, not everyone is going to agree. But that’s beside the point, because that’s actually not what happened in this case. I’m not going to continue the drama since everyone has moved on, but I’m not dealing misinformation here either. Some people may take things too far, but on the flipside of that others also need to take responsibility for their words and actions. I think you may have misunderstood my point about feeling like I don’t have anything to offer, but I really do appreciate you saying that about the team, that does make me feel good. It isn’t that I don’t think I have much to offer- I know that I do. What I’m saying, though, is that seeing a handful of the same people only talking to the same one or two people every time, or seeing people give halfassed responses unless they’re talking to the person they want to fuck, or the person they ignore everyone else for, seeing them only want to make connections with certain people and then turn around and act like they’re ignored in the same way they ignore the rest of us makes others feel like they have nothing to offer, me included. The cliques here are way out of control. From what I’ve seen it looks like you made it into the inner circle. But I thank you for at least recognizing how what’s happening could make others feel bad. I took note of the fact that some of the biggest perpetrators didn’t bother to respond to that. Which is fine. It just says to me that responsibility isn’t going to be taken. Not yet, no. But I do have several offers, so I’m looking forward to going. 

I’m sorry, Sir. You don’t deserve this sort of treatment and you don’t deserve feeling like this. I don’t think anyone here does and I know you aren’t the only one. I know you want to move on but you mentioned still carrying a terrible, careless comment from earlier this year and I just hope you don’t carry this with you on top of that. I have two ears to bend and plenty of time if you want to talk about it all. Or if you’d like to spend some time together, if you need someone to Dominate, I’ll be happy to kneel for you. You know I enjoy your company, it’ll be an absolute pleasure. 

As for the pet fair, I know you have a few offers but if you’re wanting to take multiple trips or anything like that, I’d be happy to come along. I haven’t been yet but hopefully soon! 

Hey, Val. It’s always a pleasure, seeing you in my notifications. Thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot to me. You’re a good girl, you always have been. And, you care. That’s part of what makes you so incredible. It’s alright, you’re welcome to comment on whatever. Good eye. I’m trying not to. I think this might be easier to put down, because it’s not just a me thing. It’s something at affects a big number of students on campus. That comment was something personal, so I think maybe that’s why it stuck. Thank you for caring though, good girl. You really are a sweetheart. Why don’t you come to mine after classes on Wednesday? We’ll get caught up and have dinner, and see where that goes. 

I would like that, actually. You haven’t been either? Okay, now we really have to fix this. Wednesday, if you’re free. It’s a solid plan. 

Tell ‘em, my good pal. Tell ‘em. I’ll rough anyone up who has some out of pocket shit to say about this, you got my word on that, especially if the facts that were laid down the other night and right here in this post aren’t taken to heart. 

Looks like you got some takers on the pet fair thing and I’m good on a safe space, but I’ll come around whenever you want. As a matter fact, I’ll be there tomorrow morning with some breakfast and we can hang before class. Dunno what I’ll be making but it’ll be something. Maybe something richy rich like avocado toast. 

Thanks, Ashton. That means a lot coming from you, I always see you doing the right things, standing up for others. So, it’s good to know I’m not alone, and especially with you in my corner. I was hoping that actually saying something would do something, but it looks like that’s not the case. 

I did, I’m pretty excited. Really? I won’t say I’m not looking forward to that, but you don’t have to. I’d feel badly if I didn’t say as much. I miss hanging out with you, we should do that more regardless. You? Making avocado toast? Well, at least I can rest easily knowing you won’t be able to burn the building down with that one. Unless you get creative, just to prove me wrong. 

I’m real sorry to see you’re feelin’ that way man, but to be honest I’ve been feelin’ a bit of the same. It’s real clear there are some divides happenin’ here, and no one but a select few seem interested in fixing the problem. Maybe people are tired of hearing about it, but maybe it wouldn’t have to be heard if everyone could just act decent. And everything you’re sayin’ obviously holds weight, given that this was posted os many days ago and even though I’ve seen plenty of people popping up to chat with each other, you still only have 2 responses. 

I’m always open to a good hang out shesh, especially with you dude. Hit me up, we’ll go check things out, get you out of that suite of yours and back into the light.

Thanks for stopping by Theo, it’s good to see you back around. It’s alright, I guess. I mean, it’s going to have to be. It’s irritating and degrading, but hey as long as everyone gets to fuck who they want, right? I noticed that too. People think we don’t. Thanks for having my back, Theo. How have you been?

That would be great! I’m free tomorrow afternoon if you are!

I couldn’t have said it better myself, Sir. It’s a problem. It has been a problem. And for whatever reason, we’re apparently all living on Mars, because there seems to be a select few people who are blind to it. I’m not sure why that hasn’t given pause for those individuals to consider that the reason they don’t see the issue is because…Well, I’m sure you can fill in the gaps. Anyway, I think it’s pitiful that you’re feeling this way. You’re an excellent Dominant, Sir. You always have been. I think it’s pretty pathetic this hasn’t gotten more attention either, but what else is new around here? 

I’m no supporter of the old ways, but I agree with what you said about the events of last night too. I won’t perpetuate drama for once in my life, but know that you aren’t alone in those feelings. 

If you’re still looking for someone to go with, I’d be happy to ask my Sir if we can go as a group! It would be nice to hang out, and you and Sir Sodapop are friends right? I know he’s in your Fight Club. Have you thought about what kind of pet you might want to get Sir?

You make good points and a lot of sense Aden, I can tell you know where I’m coming from with this. You’re right, I think you and I are on the same wave here. Thank you for the compliment, that means a lot. You’re right, but its just proving my point if you ask me. Not that theyll ever see that. But, one can try. 

I didn’t think so, thank you for sharing that with me. 

It looks like I’ve got quite the group forming here. I would love to, maybe we could all go together. We could do something after too if we wanted. Soda, yeah! Hes’ a great guy, you two are really good together. I’d love seeing you both! I have a little bit. Is it strange that I’m leaning towards a bird?

I’m sorry you’re feeling that way, Sir. I know I probably haven’t been around as much as I could be or maybe should be. Other than everything that’s been happening around here, I’ve been good, thank you for asking. I can ask Master Deven if I could go with you to the pet fair, if you’re still looking for someone to go with you.

Thanks Wyatt. It’ll be okay, it’s just something that has been on my mind for a while. I wanted to get it out in the best way I knew how. I wouldn’t worry about it, I see you talking to so many people. You’ve got your hands full with Deven, but you’re still interacting. That’s good to hear, keep it up! That would be excellent! I think I’m going with Jules, but the more the merrier, or we could just hang out. Even if Deven wanted to join, he’s welcome too! 

More people should be paying attention and responding to this.

I think people are afraid of confrontation, and they’ll do what they gotta do to avoid it. Staying in their own little worlds with the people they like. Kinda sucks. It’s like Zizes said, people are hanging out in their DMs and talking shit, none of us are any the wiser. Makes it hard to get to know people when they’re not like, actively around trying to talk to everyone. I’ll do my part and make sure I’m on top of my shit. I hope we see things improve soon.

It’s nice of you to offer, Sir. I already went to the pet fair, I got a new dog. His name is Max, he’s a golden retriever and I love him. If you want someone to go with, I can offer. Maybe I can bring him along, he likes hanging out with other dogs. And animals in general. And humans. Just a lovable little goober.

Thanks Jules. I guess I’m used to it by now. But, thank you for responding. 

I think you’re right. That, and I think people might fool themselves into thinking they aren’t the issue. And I get it, no one wants to be. It’s not a comfortable place to be in. But it’s where growth happens. And, it’s really a simple fix. You’re right, I couldn’t have said any of that better myself. You’re very wise. You’re great Jules, don’t worry. 

That’s so cool! I’ll bet he’s the most adorable pup. That would be great! When are you free? Awe, it sounds like he’s the sweetest. He would probably nlove to see all his friends again!

Hello again, everybody. The safe space / mark-free zone has been a big hit. Tonight, I’ve taken another suggestion into organization mode and if you head on down anytime until Monday morning you’ll be able to take part in a spot of friendly video game competition. We’re going to keep things chill and stick to the Wii, starting with Mario Party and voting through the other games I’ve got in here until everyone’s over it or falls asleep. There are snacks, drinks, and a bit of a dinner buffet. Just try to keep the controllers clean, please. No fighting. I might not be there or be there for long, I have some personal stuff to tend to tonight but I’ll put what I can into this for everyone. The tutor will be there, regardless, to make sure nothing insane happens.

Great idea Ross, I’m really pumped to see this come to fruition. You’ve worked hard on this, I know others have too. I’ll swing by as soon as I get a chance. Hope whatever you were doing went well!

On top of lacrosse practice, Beau like to make sure that he kept up on his own form to the best of his abilities. Despite the fact that there was still snow on the ground, he had kept part of his practices outside, unlike most other sports teams on campus. Today, on his own, Beau was outside in his gear with his stick in hand and no helmet, running through training drills on his own. He ran between trees for agility and jumped through hurdles, jumped rope, and focused on his foot work. There were very few other people that would brave the cold like this, but Beau had always been an extreme man and held himself to high standards. The snap of a twig told him someone was nearby and he slid his stick in the leaves and snow, ready just in case in a way that wasn’t obvious because he’d already been doing that for his practice. There was honestly no reason to be ready just in case, aside from who he was and the general hostile vibe of the academy sometimes, but he was Beau Smythe and Beau Smythe was always ready. “You out here to enjoy hell finally freezing over or what?”

The fields were places Felix visited at all hours, even when it was cold, even when it was dark, and even when he expected everyone else had gone to bed. Tonight, he was planning on running a few laps, looking to blow of the built up steam that had amassed inside him over the past few weeks. His head was clogged as was his chest, but not with a sickness- more in the way that he was full of thoughts and feelings he struggled to know what to do with. He was crossing the lacrosse field when the figure caught his attention, and moving a little closer he realized it was none other than Beau Smythe. Shaking his head he raised his hand with a friendly smile. “You caught me. Looks like you’re out here for the same Beau. They say greatness never sleeps, it looks like you’re out to prove them right.”
