ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ Dearest Readers,

There’s no time quite as exciting across campus as the month of June! On and off campus parties to celebrate the end of finals, championship successes for many of Arcadia’s premier sports teams, and most certainly debauchery galore for those of you who feel particularly inclined to get up to no good now that the weather is good.

Campus has been wilder than ever before as students prepare for their one final hoorah before they are ushered off home to their respective nations for the rest of the summer.

From the sounds of it, it seems as if some of you have wasted no time making the most of your summer. When we say sounds, we mean it quite literally.

According to some disgruntled students on the tenth floor in the school’s luxurious Winthrop Court, there has been no shortage of noise on their floor at all times of night. As we’re sure many of you can imagine, late-night ruckus coming from the dorms of particularly active students. For the most part, fellow Winthrop Court residents are understanding of the occasional – or more frequent for the wanton ones – late-night escapades.

It isn’t often that noise complaints are actually issued at Winthrop Court, even less so that so many complaints are filed that it reaches our ears. Indeed, our team has received an influx of complaints from disgruntled students about incessant jarring screams coming from a certain room on the tenth room. Upset with the administration’s action – or lack thereof – this poor group of students has felt as if they have no choice but to turn to the pages of our blog to bring an end to their pain and suffering.

After a bit of digging and some coercion, we were able to identify the exact room in question, and after some cross-checking with a few of the complaining students and Winthrop Court records, we’ve found out that the room belongs to none other than Lord Ruairi Lor Sombre.

For those of you not from Sora, it may be a rather unfamiliar name, so allow us to give you a brief background. The Sombre family is of direct relation to none other than the Sora Royal family. If you’re wondering why you may have never heard of Lord Ruairi before then no fret as it comes down to one devastating reason: Lord Ruairi mysteriously vanished in his youth for over a decade, only to recently resurface.

Mysterious, right? And our dear readers, there has been no explanation around his disappearance.

It’s the type of story that authors dream of writing.

Mystery or not, it sounds as if Lord Ruairi has wasted no time getting back into the swing of things, fully immersing himself as a student on Arcadia University in the best – or possibly worst – way possible.

Could it truly be that Lord Ruairi is simply prone to incredibly vocal bed partners? Or better yet, that he just has a habit of turning them into vocal lovers for the night?

Some might say it’s a remarkable skill, indeed, but others… well, others might claim that it suggests the lord has too much practice in the bedroom which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, it could lead some to spread the rumor that the lord isn’t quite a suitable future spouse if he does have such a long history of bedding people left and right.

But that isn’t the only rumor likely to come out of this.

There has also been another rumor afloat, albeit far less spread than simple claims of Lord Ruairi being prone to lustful activities. At least one person has claimed that the source of the screams isn’t from the lord’s wanton desires, but rather that there is something slightly more nefarious at work than lust and pleasure.

Our source claims that Lord Ruairi is particularly prone to night terrors, which can possibly be traced back to his mysterious disappearance. Yes, the same disappearance that none of us have any information about.

The mystery grows thicker, but of course, without the details to back it up, we can only assume that Lord Ruairi has chosen to send his nights with any soul he can find.

That being said, if the young lord would like to clarify the mystery behind his late-night screams – and go deeper into his disappearance altogether – then well, we would love to give him an exclusive interview.

Don’t temperatures have such a way of running hot towards the end of the year?

While the heat may or may not be rising in Lord Ruairi’s dorm room, we can say for certain that it’s rising between two rather intriguing individuals on campus.

Several witnesses report having seen none other than Pardis’ very own Yasin Ali eyeing a certain Nanami noble all throughout a shared class. And when we say eye, perhaps the better word to use would be staring. It seems as if the museum heir has quite the eye for beauty and art, and he may have found his latest source of inspiration in the form of physical beauty himself.

Who’s the lucky person to have caught the Pardis heir’s eye?

Lord Ashley Erik Hvalman of the Nanami’s longtime noble Hvalman family.

According to our eye witness reports, the moment class concluded Yasin wasted no time in approaching the Nanami lord to apparently work his magic. By all accounts, there appeared to be some type of sexual tension brewing between the two. Though they weren’t able to get close enough to overhear the conversation, from facial expressions and interaction alone, it led many of their fellow classmates to believe that the two may be involved beyond that of two flirtatious students.

Interesting indeed, and it certainly wouldn’t be all that bad of a match.

After all, Pardis is the staple museum of Sirius, and while Yasin holds no noble title of his own, the notability of the museum speaks for itself. In fact, we have nothing bad to say about the potential match between these two. New rich and noble couple pairings are far from a rare occurrence. With nobility bringing the titles and new rich families bringing the new money wealth, for many it simply makes sense, so long as it’s mutually beneficial for both households.

Perhaps, Lord Ashley may find himself on the end of a courtship from Yasin, and if he does, we will be there to take you all on the couple’s journey. Good luck to the possibly blossoming couple and word of advice, keep your public displays of affection to a minimum lest you desire to find yourselves on these pages for unsavory reasons.

While some people are busy looking to kick off summer flings and possible romances, others appear to be striking up curiously timed alliances.

The Spring play has had no shortage of coverage in our publication, and yet as details slowly begin to finalize for the long awaited play, so does the most important aspect of all – the official assigned role list. While many fans of the Young Thespians have long anticipated that Sora royal Prince Erasmus Weiss would take to the stage as the leading man, there has been quite a bit of discourse and speculation surrounding who would take the highly coveted spot of the leading lady.

While it’s a mystery to most, some fans have started to insist that it is, in fact, no mystery at all.

We received an eye witness report that Lady Nevaeh Ahn was seen speaking with Prince Erasmus Weiss early one morning before them Young Thespian’s club meeting. Considering the fact that our witness claims the two were alone and eager to keep their conversation private, it only makes sense that devoted fans of the club have begun to speculate that Lady Nevaeh is hard at work trying to corner the role for herself.

Some of the more particular among fans have claimed that the Avani noblesse is trying to establish some sort of secret deal to ensure she protects the role for herself. Collusion much?

It wouldn’t be the first time that secret deals and conspiracies have meddled in club affairs. One might even be quick to say that it’s the very backbone of clubs on Arcadia University’s campus.

While it would seem foolish for Prince Erasmus to risk his seemingly pristine reputation on this campus for the sake of hearing out Lady Nevaeh’s pleads to be the leading lady, perhaps it isn’t all that ridiculous after all. A kind heart can often put weaker-willed individuals in between a rock and a hard face.

Not to mention, Sora’s prince is only human. Would it be so awful to desire to see himself partnered with a beautiful face? Indeed, Lady Nevaeh is just… beautiful.

Though we have no evidence to speak towards her acting abilities. If this deal works out, we’ll all be able to see for ourselves whether beauty is all she has or if she’s a surprisingly sharp actress.

God speed, Lady Nevaeh on your quest. The rest of us may watch this year’s Spring play behind shaky hands and uncertain eyes.

Odd interactions and intriguing happenings have come in abundance ahead of this year’s Spring play, and it sounds as if Lotus Library is the latest spot to bear witness.

Being in Lotus Library this time of year is weird enough. With finals concluded, the campus library is more of a ghost town, a mere shell of its packed self with overflowing tables and students during exam season. It takes a particularly ambitious, studious student to be in the library during the week of Summerfest. Avani heiress Aelrie Elanorin, is simply one of those students. Hearing of Aelrie in Lotus Library even this time of year isn’t all that strange. She has a reputation on campus as an avid reader, and certainly the campus library makes for the perfect backdrop for whatever her book of choice may be. However, it wasn’t Aelrie’s presence that drew eyes, but rather that of the man who approached her.

Nanami’s most eligible bachelor Lord Alon Lee was spotted walking up to Aelrie at her table, reportedly like a man on a mission.

That sentence alone is breathtaking. Lord Alon in the library during Summerfest of all weeks. The man is remarkable in many ways – with his physical features that have made him the envy of just about every man on this campus – but anyone who’s ever shared a class or conversation with him would remark that he simply isn’t much of a studier or honor student or even… a reader.

So what, pray tell, was Lord Alon doing in the library?

Well, we can only draw the conclusion that he was there solely for the sake of speaking with Aelrie. Our brave witness reports that upon drawing closer to the two, they overheard Lord Alon asking for a conversation with Aelrie in private, during which he offered an apology.

An apology for what exactly?

A date gone wrong? A foul misunderstanding? A fatal slip-up?

Well, our dear readers, it seems as if that will remain an unfortunate mystery for now as our witness couldn’t get close enough to hear. Something about not wanting to risk it with an Earth elemental and their ever meddlesome seismic sense. A missed opportunity indeed! But fret not, we will continue to investigate thoroughly on our end.

If you have any tips as to the history shared between these two seemingly completely separate souls, please do reach out to our tiplines. We are simply dying to know.

Whatever it is, we hope that Lord Alon hasn’t found himself in the thick of a sticky situation. It’d be a shame to ruin his newfound reputation to one misunderstanding with an Avani heiress, but Lord Alon if you’re eager to get ahead of any story leaks, our private line is always open for exclusive interviews.

While Lord Alon seems to find himself at risk of a bad situation with Aelrie, one poor soul has certainly lost it all thanks to a series of unfortunate events.

Arcadia University’s very own acorn-hating Sora native has found all eyes on her yet again. Yes, totally unforgettable, eccentric Avery Poppy has managed to draw our eyes once more following claims of a breakdown following football practice recently.

For our more avid blog readers, this will likely come as no surprise. Avery has quickly built a reputation on campus as being a rather emotional young lady who simply seems incapable of keeping her emotions to herself.

When she’s not busy losing her marbles over a singular acorn in a baking class, then she’s bursting into tears after football practice for… well a valid reason this time at least.

According to particularly dedicated fans of the Arcadia University women’s football team, Avery may be on the chopping block soon. Arcadia’s sports teams are known for being rather cut-throat. Only the strongest players onto the university’s varsity teams. There’s never been any doubt that Avery has long been worthy of her spot.

At least not until now.

Avery was seen limping her way out of the locker room following the team’s practice with tears in her eyes. Following behind her was the Women’s football team captain herself, Princess Eden Kobayashi who seemed particularly determined to convince Avery that she had no reason to cry and that everything would be okay.

Despite the captain’s assurances, an inside source with the team has revealed that it really is that bad. Apparently Avery is prone to recurring injuries, making it impossible to keep her on the field for long. One injury surely isn’t enough to warrant expulsion from the team, but a series of bad injuries may be enough to take her from starting player to deadweight.

Unfortunately for Avery’s football fanbase, it sounds as if her time on the team may be dwindling to an end. We’d suggest buying tickets to see final games ahead of time, if you want to ensure you’re able to bear witness to Avery’s football prowess before it’s the end of the road to her.

Perhaps she’d be better suited on a less strenuous sports team. Surely, the golf team could use some additional players.

The women’s football team is bound to find themselves down a player before long, but the men’s team appears to be doing just fine. In fact, more than fine.

It’s that time of the year, our lovely readers. The most highly anticipated, competitive day of the entire school year for avid fans and casual enjoyers of the men’s football team alike. Yes, indeed, the football team’s annual fundraising event has arrived!

There has been no shortage of excitement for whatever they’ve had in the works. Rumors have swirled of just about every possibility, from shirtless calendars to kissing booths, as fans find themselves competing amongst each other ferociously for a chance to shamelessly admire one of the famously beautiful players headed by Sirius’ very own Lord Emrys Narelle.

While speculation has been afoot, our investigation team has been hard at work trying to get a sneak peek into the team’s planned fundraising event for the club fundraising showcase this Summerfest, and finally we did it.

Drum roll please…

This year’s football team fundraiser will be none other than an exclusive host club.

Yes, you’ve read it right. A host club. Waste no time readying your wallets to hand out exorbitant amounts of money to live the date of your dreams with one of the football team’s handsome members. From the striker to the midfielder to the goalie, every single one of these men will be on full display and ready to court you for a day… with the right price.

And we don’t think it’s wrong to say that no member will come with a heftier price than the team captain himself, Lord Emrys.

With his sizable, admittedly intimidating fandom, the Sirius noble is bound to fetch the heftiest fee of the day. We wouldn’t be surprised if the football team comes back with diamond encrusted jewelry by the end of their fundraising efforts. Their fans have a habit of sparing no expense when it comes to them, whether that be financial or physical… and we do expect this to get rather physical.

We wouldn’t be surprised if fights break out in line for the sake of being the first to place their bid.

Good luck to any of our readers who plan to participate as it’ll certainly be a nasty sight.

And speaking of nasty sights… look down there.

It’s a squirrel!

It’s a raccoon!

No… it’s a Snell Hall Resident!

In fact, it’s a shameless, dumpster diving, Snell Hall resident.

Before you’re all so quick to get nauseous, vomit, and judge the trashy resident who sees fit to dumpster dive, we’d like to encourage you all to remember that not everyone is born into wealth. Certainly, it can be so easy to forget that not every student on this campus is blessed with wallets that can afford new items that haven’t seen the inside of a dumpster.

Allow this sad, pathetic story to serve as a reminder of that.

Infamous Sora citizen Fiona Choi was seen dumpster diving outside Winthrop Court late one evening. A concerned Winthrop Court resident wrote in with their statement after initially hearing the ruckus while seated for evening tea on their balcony. They said, and we quote, “I thought it was an abnormally large raccoon but then I looked closer and saw that it was actually some girl??! I snapped a picture because I could hardly believe it, I mean… it’s pretty scary!”

Upon review of the photo attached to the report, we were able to identify the dumpster diver as one of the school’s more troublesome citizen students. Fiona Choi is one of few citizen students who is interesting and odd enough to find herself written upon these pages more than once.

It’s certainly not a bad thing… but not good either, we’d reckon.

Our concerned Winthrop Court resident was not able to get a full view of the trashy treasures that Fiona was able to dig up from the trash, but she did note that she seemed to be pulling out garments of clothing.

Perhaps the dear citizen was only looking to scour up an outfit for Summerfest, as to not be seen in old rags that have been long overdue for a replacement. Better last season’s trash than barely surviving rags, right?

It nearly brings a tear to our eye. Trash theft is never okay, but perhaps this speaks to a deeper issue on this campus. The poor students like Fiona who never have a chance because their pockets are limited only to whatever coins they may earn from their long, menial jobs. Tragic indeed.

If you see Fiona on campus, we beg you to not judge her so harshly. Perhaps, instead, put yourself in the shoes of someone who’s never seen opportunity… or the inside of even a simple department store. Think twice before you toss out last season’s clothing. Instead of sending it straight to the dumpster of Winthrop Court, send it to the biggest dumpster on this campus – oops, we meant to say… Snell Hall.

While some of us are opening our eyes to the sad eyes of some of the citizen students on this campus, one group in particular seems determined to force change for the citizens by any means necessary.

United Citizens for a Better Future is far from a popular club on campus. Known for constantly causing a ruckus and making the lives of noble and new rich students unnecessarily difficult, it should come as no surprise that they’re back at it again ahead of this year’s Summerfest.

What’s the issue this time? A supposedly inexcusable classism issue in the fest itself.

All eyes have been on UCBF, and the club’s President, Nanami’s Prince Yue Ying, as rumors circulate about a proposed plan to protest and petition against Arcadia University’s beloved Summerfest.

While citizen students have unsurprisingly taken to admiring UCBF for their action in the face of inequities, the overwhelming majority of noble and new rich students have scrutinized the club for seeming determined to ruin their long-awaited festivities. Tensions continue to grow between the social classes on campus day by day, with the bulk of attention falling on Yue Ying to resolve the issues that UCBF has begun to raise.

It’s an interesting conundrum indeed.

Prince Yue Ying has been a dedicated leader to all of UCBF’s prior causes, positioning himself as the most beloved royal on campus by citizens. However, many fellow title and wealth holders have begun to feel betrayed by his constant siding with citizens when it comes to any issues that arise on this campus.

As tensions continue to grow, will Prince Yue Ying find himself stuck between loyalty to his club and the weight of his title as a royal? We certainly don’t envy the prince, it’s far from an easy situation to navigate. However, it is most certainly quite interesting to bear witness to.

It leaves us wondering… what’s next?

However, much to the relief of many of our readers, protests and petitions alike seem to show no sign of stopping the Summerfest fun. In fact, it seems as if some people have little concerns about the supposedly classist nature of the fest. As many social climbers across this campus have a habit of doing, particularly brave souls seem eager to make their way into the highest rings of society for this year’s festivities in order to enjoy the famed, luxurious VIP plaza.

Summerfest does have a way of bringing out the worst in people, and the VIP plaza has long been the greatest example of that. Limited only to the highest of nobility and royalty, there is simply no amount of money capable of purchasing access to the VIP plaza, disgruntling even the richest of new rich students.

However, there are other, far more shameless ways to get in and it seems as if Sora candy heiress Valentine Ryu is determined to get in by any means necessary.

Valentine was reportedly seen batting her eyes at a male noble just a couple of days before Summerfest. Notably, the man in question had a shiny, golden wristband on, indicating his status as one of the chosen ones who’ll be able to enter the VIP plaza come festival day.

Our witness was not able to get a good look at the man’s face, however, they did manage to snap a blurry photo from him. It took quite a bit of sleuthing and deduction, but we feel confident in labeling the noble apple of Valentine’s eye as none other than Lord Blaine Beaumont of Avani. Yes, the kindhearted, notably considerate Lord Blaine.

Undoubtedly, Valentine chose the perfect person to chat up, like a true expert manipulator… or mere flirter. But it’s not unfair to question Valentine’s true intentions.

Was she truly interested in Lord Blaine and who he is at a person? Or was Valentine only looking for guaranteed entry to the VIP plaza for this year’s Summerfest?

Only time will tell if Lord Blaine is an unfortunate victim of a pretty face and a shallow heart, but we plan to keep eyes on him and Valentine both. Let us hope we are bearing witness to the start of a genuine connection, and not a mere hare-brained scheme to enjoy the luxuries of VIP.

While some may or may not be looking to sneak into the VIP plaza for the music festival, it seems as if others are finding their enjoyment in other ways.

Could it be that Lady Amira Sema is not like other girls?

Several witnesses separately reported having seen the fire noblesse constantly on campus with a notepad and pen in her hand. Even as the student body grows increasingly chaotic in the days leading up to Summerfest, looking for their fill of vices and poor decisions now that they’re free of academic responsibility, Lady Amira is always spotted some distance away from the rest simply observing. And observe she does.

Notoriously soft spoken, what Lady Amira seems to lack in conversational skill and social interaction, she makes up for with a curious eye and proper demeanor. While the rest of her classmates seem eager to get up to debauchery, she seems to take a more intellectual approach to the world around her.

Certainly, we can anticipate that she’ll have that very same notepad and pen in hand at Summerfest as she watches the chaos take place around her.

While we’re certain our readers may be quick to try and label Lady Amira as strange, we’d like to offer another perspective… that she sees opportunity in the happenings around her like any scholar would. She’s busy observing and taking notes, and after some consideration with our team, we have one conclusion we’re ready to draw: Lady Amira seeks to be a reporter like none other than yours truly.

A sweet thought indeed.

It is not often we do this, and with good reason as no student has ever given us reason to, but we’d like to extend our official stamp of approval to Lady Amira. She could learn to be a little more discrete as a reporter, but we all must start somewhere, and we must say we’re pleased with where the fire noblesse has made her start.

She’ll only get better with time and practice, and for the first time in outlet history we are ready to offer a once-in-a-lifetime internship opportunity with us. Join us, Lady Amira, and learn to be a sage of truth from those who do it best.

You may send your resume into our official email.

Summerfest appears to be gracing all of us with interesting coincidences and remarkable times already. While you all take to Rosemary Plaza to party to your heart’s content, just remember one thing – we are always watching. There are no NDAs at work at Summerfest.

Everything you do is ours to see and write about.

Trust us when we say we wait with baited breath to fully cover every single moment, high and low, from this year’s Summerfest.

Have fun, our lovely readers!

ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓: Arcadia Summer Festival ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄: June 11th, 2023 to June 25th, 2023

Heavily inspired by Coachella, Lollapalooza, Mardi Gras, and Pride Festivals.

The sounds of construction fill the campus plaza as finals come to an end. The disruptive noise is rarely a comforting one, but it marks the end of academics and the beginning of something new. Rosemary Plaza is shut down for the two weeks leading up to the event, fences posted all around the barrier of the outdoor space in preparation for what most students deem the most exciting event of the year.

Arcadia University’s very own Summer Festival.

Every June, Arcadia University’s campus comes to life with its long awaited Summer Fest, an annual cultural, arts, and music festival held over the course of three days on the university’s Rosemary Plaza. Founded fifty years ago by representatives from each nation on campus, Arcadia Summer Festival is hailed as the premier year-end celebration for the student body marking the end of finals and the start of the long-awaited summer break.

When the gates lift and students shuffle onto the newly redesigned plaza, the true fun takes place over the course of three days.

Friday marks the start of three day long festivities with a massive showcase for Arcadia University’s many clubs and sports teams. The plaza is dotted with booths of varying sizes and reputations. Some are made up of full on rings for the sake of demonstrating their team’s skill and strengths, while others take a more humble approach. The showcase is open to the public and is known as one of the best ways to fundraise, with the most popular clubs and teams hitting the bulk of their fundraising goals on this day.

Saturday brings about the official Arcadia University parade where the most important students take to floats that travel throughout the streets of Cor de Rosa in show of the nation’s unification. Among the most anticipated of all the floats are those of the royal students and defense representatives on campus. The floats are encouraged to be as decadent as possible, showing off the nations’ fullest spirit as they are decorated in creative, innovative ways that most closely represent their respective nation. The parade is also a time for students to dress up in clothing that speaks to the nation’s heritage in whatever way they see fit. The nation with the most spirit will receive special benefits in the coming year. Benefits in past years have included free upgraded dorms, priority seating at events, and more. Saturday evening is typically when students throw parties on and off campus ahead of the music festival the next day.

Most anticipated of all, however, is Sunday, which marks Arcadia University’s Summer Music Festival. The Summer Music Festival gathers top musical talents from all nations on Cor de Rosa’s campus for a full day of excitement. Students gather on Rosemary Plaza starting at noon for the first of performances, though it isn’t unheard of for some students to meet up earlier around campus for darties and pre-games. The Summer Music Festival is open to all students, however, particularly high-ranking Noble and Royal students will have access to a VIP area that consists of higher-quality amenities and a premier view of the stage. For a full list of performers refer to the line-up below!

This event canonically takes place from June 16th to 18th; however, the event will be officially open from June 11th to June 25th. You may feel free to continue to event threads following June 15th, but you will not receive event points for anything posted after the event has ended.

ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ 𝐆𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐏 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐆: #7 ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄: May 29, 2023 ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆: The following post contains mentions of mental distress, sexual activities, pregnancy, addiction, and violence. ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄: All writers consented to have their muses featured in the gossip blog.

ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ Dearest Readers,

Stressed much? Campus has been quite quiet recently in preparation for fear-inducing final exams. While the library has no shortage of stressed students frantically buried in textbooks that have been untouched for the better part of the semester, Mimi Cafe appears to be overworking its poor employees with nonstop coffee orders to empower these last-minute study sessions.

Even after all of these years, Arcadia University’s student body remains ever vigilant in their need to procrastinate. Never change, dear students. For while you all have been one more chapter away from a breakdown, we have been carefully keeping an eye on you and it appears as if some of you have been less busy than others.

Or, better yet, busy in other places – both good and bad.

But first, the good.

As we’ve previously reported, there has been no shortage of buzz around the Young Thespian’s upcoming spring play. From accidental set destruction to ongoing speculation about what this year’s play will be, there is undoubtedly excitement for the annual event. With this much excitement garnered, it’s only natural to assume that the Young Thespians must be under an immense amount of pressure to pull together a successful play and every successful play starts with an amazing lineup.

What better face to include than none other than the President of the Young Thespians and Sora Royal himself, Prince Erasmus Weiss?

Yes, our readers, you heard it here first. By all reports from students both inside and outside of the theater group, it sounds as if Prince Erasmus will be the leading male in this year’s spring play.

Rumors say that the club will be putting their own spin on one of Shakespeare’s classics this year, the surprisingly fitting Romeo and Juliet. Much to the desperate hope of the prince’s fans, all eyes are on the royal to take the role of the tragic, dreamy Romeo.

Long admired for his beauty and poise, it should come as no surprise that the prince has taken his rightful spot as the leading man. After all, a quick look at the club’s roster will quickly reveal there is simply no better option. With Sora’s very own prince at the forefront of the play, the club is bound to sell out every night.

In fact, there has already been tensions over ticket sales, with many of the prince’s fans fighting to find any way possible to get their hands on tickets despite the fact that they haven’t even gone on sale yet. Fans are particularly eager to get front row seats to the play, going as far as hiring citizen students on campus to stand in line for them come ticket sale day.

For any particularly financially needy citizen students on campus, there may be easy employment for you in holding spots in line for Prince Erasmus’ particularly dedicated fandom.

Best of luck to the prince on his top tier acting gig and to his fans that are determined to be in attendance. We can only hope that hearts won’t stop.

While fans of Prince Erasmus and the Young Thespians are busy fighting for seats to the long awaited annual spring play, fans of Arcadia University’s men's football team bear witness to increasing tensions between two star players on the team.

There have long been rumors of disdain between Lord Emrys Narelle and Idris Adair. It’s notoriously difficult to get onto the university’s varsity team, where a certain level of competitiveness is encouraged and even rewarded. Naturally, tensions have a way of running high between fiery spirits that want nothing more than to win, thus fans have frequently shrugged off the evident contempt between the two men on the field.

However, it appears as if those bitter sentiments have made their way off the field as well.

Lord Emrys, who has notably been absent from the past few games due to his injuries, has been frequently spotted around campus with media conglomerate heir Idris. At first glance, it would seem as if the two have put to rest their differences for the sake of team bonding and friendship. However, our team has received several accounts that it has been anything but peaceful between the two men.

In fact, by all reports it seems as if tensions have only gotten worse off the field following Lord Emrys’ injury. From an argument in Mimi Cafe over a coffee order that held up the line so long it spilled out onto the sidewalk outside to a blatant disagreement in a hundred person lecture hall during a shared morning class, it’s nearly impossible to make sense of the seemingly endless reports we’ve received.

However, one thing is for sure, the two Sirius natives find themselves within each other’s orbit quite frequently.

There’s only one question we’re really left to ask: why?

Despite constantly being at each other’s throats for any myriad of reasons, according to our diligent witnesses, they never fail to enter and exit spaces together. Idris, who has long had a propensity for chaos – though remarkably appears to be a rather reformed man – is often spotted by the lord’s side, offering aid as he needs it, if only to quarrel mere moments later. As a member of Helping Hand, it appears the heir is quite charitable in his endeavor to take care of the football team’s injured captain.

Though members of the lord’s fanclub have been very vocal in their calls for the beloved Lord Emrys to receive better treatment from his seemingly temporary, hateful caretaker. Only time will tell whether their numerous trending hashtags and petitions will be enough to sway the notoriously problematic heir’s behavior towards the lord.

For the sake of his sanity and sobriety, we’d recommend that Idris stays clear of the fanclub’s rage. They have been known to be ferocious when it comes to the beloved lord. Interestingly enough, it was reported to us that the two didn’t interact at all during the Military Ball…

Though despite their lack of interaction at the Military Ball, there was no shortage of interactions to keep our eyes on. Most notably, we found our eyes drawn to a particular soul that one might say should not have been allowed within 300 feet of any royal event.

Mandatory criminal watch!

It isn’t often that a citizen has managed to catch our eye numerous times but there is undoubtedly a sense of responsibility we feel to keep our readers safe. That was particularly true as we kept our eyes on the long anticipated Military Ball.

As we’re sure you can guess by now that citizen is none other than Avani native, admitted menace to society, and possible future convict, Regulus Estarossa. We’ve had an abundance of criticism for the rather intriguing student in the past. From his awfully long disciplinary track record to the fear he has stricken in the hearts of countless noble students, Regulus has been a frequent name upon our pages.

Thus when we first heard about his attendance at the Military Ball, our first instinct was to assume the worst. We simply had to ask: What would he do there? Who would he beat up? Would he eat the entire event out of house and home with his abnormally large appetite? Would he be dressed like a waiter again?

As is necessary in any criminal watch, we kept eyes on him all night long, lying in wait for his chaos to begin. However much to our genuine surprise, Regulus was on his best behavior throughout the night. He didn’t cause a single problem – at least not one that any of our eyes bore witness to.

Has this thuggish citizen finally been tamed?

Not only was he dressed remarkably well for the event – his waiter-like attire appears to be a thing of the past – but he kept his hands to himself and conducted himself rather appropriately for the memorial event. We must say we’re quite impressed by his change in behavior. One might even say that this is the start of a new chapter for Regulus. We’ll be eagerly following along with him on this new chapter as he takes the path towards redemption.

Kudos to you, Regulus. May your redemption path be full of light.

Though it appears as if the problematic citizen wasn’t the only one who turned a new page during the Military Ball.

Lord Alon Lee seems to be headed towards a brighter path himself.

The Lee family has long been hailed for their longstanding name in Nanami, long being considered the gleaming example of nobility. Their name is nearly synonymous with power in the nation, and it should come as no surprise that the only son of the household is considered one of the most eligible bachelors from Nanami.

Indeed, Lord Alon Lee drew widespread admiration for his appearance alongside his parents at the Military Ball. Respectfully dressed in a classic black suit, even in his simple attire he had no issue keeping all eyes on him for the better part of the evening. And there was certainly a plethora of lords and ladies alike seeking his company and attention for the night at the Military Ball.

Could it be that Lord Alon has finally gotten a much-needed lesson in etiquette?

As we’re sure you remember, the Nanami lord received criticisms for his nonstop lack of regard towards Avani’s princess, but it seems as if those mishaps are nothing more than distant memories now. Or perhaps it’s only easy to forget about such transgressions when the man behind it all has such a remarkably perfect face.

Is this what they call pretty privilege?

Pretty privilege or not, Lord Alon has received well-deserved acclaim from Nanami houses looking to find a powerful suitor for their respective young ladies and men. At this rate, there may very well be an engagement on the horizon for the lord… if he so decides to take his pick of the litter.

However, while some lords were stealing hearts left and right at the Military Ball with their flawless faces, longstanding titles, and poised behavior, it appears as if others were up to no good.

Newly risen noble, Lord Rhys Park, has found himself on the receiving end of some rather interesting rumors regarding his love life.

Rising from mere commoner to Lord is bound to come with a shift in attitude and demeanor. By all accounts, it sounds as if the lord has been grappling with this sudden change as well. Rumor has it that Lord Rhys has been quite busy establishing his name among the highest of society, and has had no shortage of interesting brushes with young noblesses and heiresses alike.

He was spotted guiding at least one well-off, Sora heiress onto the dance floor at the Military Ball. Though we didn’t keep eyes on the man for long, some voices have reported that she was only first in a long line of many to come.

In truth, it’s hard to blame the lord. After all, while most nobles are born into their titles and raised with a certain expectation of how to act, Lord Rhys has been thrown headfirst into the intricacies of higher society and expected to conduct himself accordingly. It’s like putting an unsupervised thief into a bank vault and expecting them to not go a little crazy. Certainly, one can only expect the noble to go a little crazy at first.

So long as he doesn’t bring shame to his family’s newly significant name.

Yes, the first rule of thumb for any noble is to never bring shame to their household. Though quite clearly from the news we bring to our readers, some are better than others at abiding by this. There are those who couldn’t care less about the impact their raunchy actions will have on family names with centuries of history behind them, but we’d like to give Lord Rhys the benefit of doubt and offer him three well-meaning tips before his little house falls off before it has even truly risen.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⁀➷ There’s no such thing as privacy. Even when you think no one is watching, someone undoubtedly is. Conduct yourself accordingly.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎⁀➷ Do your best to avoid bedding citizens. Though you may have been one yourself, it is important to remember that you no longer are one. Draw the line early, Lord Rhys.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎‎ ‎⁀➷ Wrap it. All it takes is an ill-timed pregnancy and a shotgun wedding to ruin your reputation for good.

Heed our warnings, Lord Rhys, and continue to do your noble household proud. And while we beg the lord to pay mind to our tips, we must turn our attention to a name that has been printed upon these pages beside his far too many times to count.

The past is the past, but the present is yet again the gift that keeps on giving.

It seems as if one Sora citizen has found herself aiming to live the life of her dreams right here on Arcadia University’s campus. Indeed, Fiona Choi, ex-employee of Avani’s princess and self-reported member of the questionable book club on campus, appears to be trying to play cupid with none other than herself and Sora’s very own famous poster boy.

It should come as no surprise that Lord July Merlo has his fair share of fans on campus. He has long been considered the apple of every Sora youth’s eye. Stroll into any Sora teen’s bedroom and there is undoubtedly a good chance that you’ll see at least one poster of the noble hanging on their wall. Simply put, Lord July is a big fucking deal throughout Sora, with a name and reputation that speaks for itself.

Thus, one cannot fault Fiona for falling head first for the Sora celebrity.

Rumors have begun circulating that Fiona was seen fawning over Lord July on campus. Several credible witnesses even claim that she nearly swooned upon locking eyes with the noble from across the hall. All signs point to a typical parasocial relationship between fan and celebrity. Admittedly, it could be quite harmless. After all, what real damage can a mere citizen do just by crushing on a noble and surely, Lord July is no stranger to being on the receiving end of one’s affections.

However, allow us to remind you that Fiona is a part of Overbooked. Yes, the club with the oddly timed reading of Twilight that was seemingly suspected of some level of involvement and later cleared by the administration of all accusations.

Perhaps it is no mere harmless crush after all. Rather, it could be that Fiona is looking to live out her very own y/n fantasy with the help of the suspicious book club on campus.

We urge Lord July to keep a close eye on his food and drink – and hair – just to be safe. One can never be too vigilant.

While one citizen seems naively eager to live out her wildest fanfiction fantasies with a noble, a group of students on campus have been excitedly publishing their own fictions about none other than two seemingly unrelated students on campus.

New rich and noble students alike draw admiration and fame for none other than the wealth they hold and the names they bear. It isn’t rare to hear of fanclubs of varying sizes popping up seemingly overnight for particularly visually blessed members of society’s highest circles. However, it isn’t often that we hear of a fanclub blossoming on campus for what appears to be nothing more than a ship.

For one reason or another, students across campus have started shipping Lady Natsu Han and Matteo Celeste.

The fanclub for the purportedly nonexistent couple – affectionately named Natteo – has been excitedly trending the ship name across social media. With rather impressively designed graphic edits and videos of the two, it doesn’t seem as if the hype for Natteo will be dying down anytime soon. In fact, some of these edits have been designed so well, even our team had a hard time deciding whether they were real or not.

As the Natteo fandom grows day by day, our team has been diligent in investigating the reports. We spent hours trying to draw any possible connection between Lady Natsu and Matteo but our investigation reared no concrete conclusion, other than the fact that fans are confident the individuals would make a good couple.

Why?

Nothing more than the fact that they’re both so beautiful that they should grace the campus by pairing together to be the most dazzling couple at Arcadia University. Odd indeed but it certainly makes for a rather amusing topic of conversation. Perhaps Natteo will be proven right in the end, and Lady Natsu and Matteo will find their way to each other like true soulmates.

Though for now, all signs point to this being nothing more than a figment of imagination for seemingly countless Natteo followers who seem desperate to make this summer romance happen.

However, while hundreds of followers fantasize over a couple that may never come to fruition, at least one romance seems to be grounded in reality.

Indeed, it looks like some heirs and nobles are particularly eager to get started on their summertime romances. Lady Nana Amari and Sora Heiress Valentine Ryu were spotted on what appeared to be a first date at a restaurant in Cor de Rosa’s luxurious Novis Plaza.

A particularly diligent witness sent in photos of the two young women seated together at the restaurant and having a seemingly good time together. We must admit that at first glance, they do make a quite attractive pair. Earth and air have long been considered opposite elements, but as the longtime saying goes opposites attract.

Perhaps that will ring true here for these two women.

Could it be that cupid’s bow has hit Lady Nana and Valentine or is it nothing more than an alignment of power and money?

As much as we’d love to see true love blossoming between two like minded souls, it’d be remiss of us to turn a blind eye to the power play at work anytime two notable figures take interest in each other. Arranged marriages are a tale as old as time, and it is common knowledge new rich families are often desperate to raise their ranks to nobles. What better way to do so than by marrying their children off to those from the highest tiers of society?

It wouldn’t be unjust to argue that this could very well be the first step towards Valentine climbing the ladder of society’s social hierarchies, but for the sake of romance, we so desperately want it to be something different. Something real surely.

Though only time will tell whether Lady Nana sees fit to ask Valentine on another date.

Speaking of summertime romance, we’ve received a report from a very credible source that the most anticipated announcement of the year is in the works in Avani.

Much to the certain excitement of new rich heirs and nobles alike, it is being said that the Avani royal family will soon be seeking out suitors for the widely loved and adored princess. As the only heir to the Kobayashi name and throne, all eyes have been on Princess Eden’s love life, with many lying in wait for their chance to woo the beautiful royal.

After all, a royal’s love life is not just a personal affair. It can very well define the future of not only the royal family, but the nation as a whole. For any household looking to secure power in Avani, an arranged marriage with the nation’s princess is the most certain way to do so. After all, it has been reported that Queen Xana is an impressively firm leader who isn’t so easily swayed by charm.

Many Avani noble households have struggled to maintain security in the wake of the once shamed Kobayashi family securing the throne, who have not shown a particularly forgiving nature to those who have crossed them. Thus what better way to curry favor than by proving your household’s heir to be the princess’ perfect match?

It certainly doesn’t hurt that Princess Eden’s beauty has no rival in all of Avani, where she has affectionately been dubbed the nation’s dazzling darling, a testament to the Kobayashi family’s blessing of producing gorgeous female heirs.

Eyes will remain on the princess as the search for her suitor begins, and our team will be hard at work keeping up with the many stories that will undoubtedly come out of this rather intriguing period for the Kobayashi royal family.

May the search for a suitor go well so that the princess may find herself perfectly matched with the lord or lady – or citizen for those of you particularly brave – of her dreams.

As our readers struggle with finals in the week to come, we must encourage you all to keep your eye on the prize, because after finals comes the long awaited Summer break for Arcadia University’s student body. However, before the school lets out for the summer, Arcadia University tradition demands one last hoorah.

We don’t even have to say it and we know those of you who’ve been here for at least a year know exactly what is coming.

Already, we can hear the music, loud chatter, and drunken chaos. The biggest festivity on campus is yet to come and it’s right around the corner.

Arcadia University’s Summer Festival!

The biggest names in entertainment from the four nations are already preparing to make their way to Cor de Rosa to put on the most extravagant show of the year for the student body. Prepare your undoubtedly skimpy outfits, sanity, and livers, because the best has yet to come.

When asked about potential headliners, the school administration did not comment, but already rumors have begun to swirl. Indeed, we know of at least a couple of performers that will be gracing this campus from our credible sources, but where would be the fun in telling you already and spoiling the surprise?

Instead, we’d like to know who you all anticipate will be making their way towards campus.

Give us your best guesses in the comments and for those of you who are right, there may be a special reward in store!

If that isn’t enough to get you all through these intense finals, then we don’t know what is.

Happy Sunday, our dearest readers! Keep your heads down to your books and finish strong, because before you know it, Summer Fest will be here, and you certainly don’t want to miss that. After all, we’ll certainly be keeping an eye on you all for the duration of it.

Good luck on finals and like always, keep whispering and writing in, for we will always be listening.

The halls are abuzz with the appearance of a new face. Welcome, Yue Ying!

Will you charm us with your presence and grace, or will your reputation fall into decay? Cement yourself into the history books as one of the great leaders – or failures – of the nations or allow yourself to slip into the territory of those forgotten.

Whatever scandals and gossip you may bring, rumors spread fast at Arcadia University, and I will be the first to report them.

Stay tuned.

ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ 𝐆𝐎𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐏 𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐆: #6 ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄: May 14, 2023 ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆: The following post contains mentions of sexual activities, pregnancy accusations, vomiting, eating disorders, death, mental distress, panic attacks, and violence. ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄: All writers consented to have their muses featured in the gossip blog.

ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ Dearest Readers,

After a brief break in remembrance of those who left us following horrific incidents in Sora, our team is pleased to present the sixth edition of this year’s gossip blog. Atrocities against the student body are no laughing matter, but we know better than anyone that the best remedy for trauma is entertainment. We sure do have quite a bit of that in store for our readers today!

As the old saying goes, April showers bring May flowers, and that rings especially true for Arcadia University. As the school year takes a turn toward finals and year-end get togethers, the student body buzzes with newfound life. All across campus, club leaders and members alike come together to plan out their final activities for the year.

Most timely of all has been none other than the efforts of Helping Hand, the school’s volunteer club, headed by Lady Nevaeh Ahn.

Lady Nevaeh and one of her club members Lady Nana Amari have been spotted extending charity to injured students across campus. Flower gifts, night-time escorts on campus, and fundraising for bills, among other initiatives, have been crucial in helping less fortunate and damaged students on campus readjust.

Despite undoubtedly having issues of their own to tend to – as no student escaped that unfortunate happening unscathed – the two Avani noblesses have been unwavering presences on campus, forming a safe, dependable space for their fellow students to recover. Charitable spirits have not always been known to Arcadia University’s nobility, but it appears they’re running higher than ever before following the Sora madness.

It warms our hearts to see two of Arcadia University’s nobles hard at work, alongside fellow members of Helping Hand. Most notable is the fact that both women hail from Avani, home to more wealth than any nation by far. Though it is clear now that the nation’s wealth has not tainted its nobility. Has philanthropy always been such a priority in Avani or has a shift in leadership encouraged Avani’s nobility to show more generosity than ever before?

Surely it can be no mere coincidence that these two philanthropic women call the Earth nation home.

Regardless, we must send Lady Nevaeh and Lady Nana our warmest praises. May all students follow their lead and extend a helping hand to fellow students on campus, with no regard to social status or wealth.

Though we’d like to point Lady Nevaeh and Lady Nana to at least one other student on this campus who is in need of a helping hand.

A certain heiress has been seen up to some rather concerning behavior on campus lately. ‘

Winthrop Court can be home to many strange activities. Arcadia University’s rich and noble have long been prone to interesting hobbies in their dorms to say the least. Vivian Rose Ahn is certainly no exception to that rule.

Witnesses report having seen Vivian sneaking out of her room and disappearing on campus for hours on end. One might say it’s far from a strange occurrence for any young woman of her beauty and stature; surely heiresses and noblesses alike have their desires. But the plot thickens with the rise of some other odd happenings for the heiress.

Random vomiting and a lack of appetite point towards a weakening condition. We’re far from a team to unnecessarily speculate on one’s health, but surely this behavior warrants concern at the very least and intervention at the worst. What exactly could be happening with Vivian?

Well, our readers, a quick search online would immediately point towards one condition. Could it be that Vivian may be expecting something and is desperate to hide it from someone? If that’s the conclusion you’d like to draw, then by all means you may. But, of course, we’d never like to accuse a young woman of Vivian’s background of something so serious.

In any case, we’re sending Vivian our best wishes. Whether struck with a sudden bout of illness and simply trying to hide it from someone special or dealing with an addition to the Ahn family, we’d encourage all of our readers to reach out to Vivian to offer a shoulder to lean on as she endures these struggles.

No student should have to stand alone in the face of illness.

If it’s any consolation to Vivian, it appears she isn’t the only one struggling with concerning habits around food.

While Sweet Delights, the campus baking club, is known for sweet treats and delectable breads, it seems that not all is what meets the eye with this popular club. What exactly could be amiss in such an innocuous club? Allow us to shed light on the skeletons within the club’s closet.

Concerned members of Sweet Delights, who’ve asked to be kept anonymous, reported chaos breaking out in the club’s most recent meeting when Avery Poppy appeared to have a breakdown over something rather strange.

As background for those of you who may not be familiar with Miss Poppy – we certainly were not prior to this story – she’s a citizen from Sora with a rather plain family history. There’s not much to report about Miss Poppy other than the fact that she’s a familiar face at Lotus Library thanks to her job as a part-time worker.

So what could be enough to make such a seemingly basic citizen student have a meltdown in the baking club?

Take a guess.

Or actually, we’ll reveal it as not even our most clever of readers would be able to guess.

Acorns… yes, as in the nuts.

If not for the several reports we received, it would have been hard to believe that something as harmless as acorns could lead right to pandemonium, but undeniable evidence has made it clear that it can.

We did our due diligence as journalists and looked into Avery’s medical background. For a team who has managed to pull strings to get our hands on the medical records of nobles, gaining access to Avery’s medical records was a walk in the park. Though it yielded few results. Outside of expected citizen problems, Avery has no other notable issues to report… namely not even a nut allergy.

So what could have caused a flip to switch and set her off?

Perhaps no one other than Avery knows… or dare we float the idea that fellow Sora native Valentine Ryu may also have an idea of what happened? After all, by all accounts the candy heiress found herself on the receiving end of tears and panic.

Was Valentine simply being a supportive club member or does she know the mystery behind Avery’s aversion to acorns? Certainly, we would not expect Valentine to be friends with a citizen so fragile, though the heiress’ history does point to an interesting inclination towards citizens. Old habits do die hard.

Nevertheless, we encourage our readers to keep their eyes on Sweet Delights, not only for their sweet treats. In the spirit of charity, maybe you can even reach out to Avery with a gentle pat on the back and words of kindness… just keep the acorns at home. Surely, the girl is not eager for another bout of mental distress, nor should poor Valentine have to play therapist once more.

While some clubs are frantic over acorns, others are in a panic over none other than the spring play.

Excitement always brews around Spring for the activities of many campus clubs, but perhaps one of the most exciting happenings is the annual Spring play. However, fans may find themselves disappointed over a potential delay in the play’s start.

Anonymous members of the Young Thespians report issues on set thanks to none other than Lord Aeth Astor. The set was apparently reduced to mere rubble after Lord Aeth took an unfortunate tumble during rehearsal one day. It has been reported that the club now has all hands on deck in order to correct the noble’s mistake.

A mistake indeed, some have assured, though others have dared to suggest something darker.

As we’re sure you know, Young Thespians can be a competitive club. After all, it has birthed some of the greatest performers and actors of each generation. A leading role in the club’s plays equates to instant fame not only on campus but in Cor de Rosa at large. While our team was not able to get our hands on the club’s incredibly secret cast list for this year’s unannounced play, we can certainly suggest that there is always a possibility for sabotage.

Tempers can run high when prideful actors feel disrespected, likely even as far as ruining the play altogether. Though before you all get ahead of yourselves, we’d never expect Lord Aeth to go as far as destroying a set to finesse his way into a leading role. It’d require a certain level of nefarious intellect to come up with an idea so awful. But could we see Lord Aeth being an unfortunate pawn in a greater scheme? Unfortunately, yes.

Still, pawn or not, we are pleased to report that the lord is apparently completely uninjured. Indeed, he will live to see another day, rebuild the set, and hopefully keep it in one piece.

Best of luck to Young Thespians on this difficult task of rebuilding from scratch. May there still be a successful Spring play!

If there is even a Spring play at this rate.

However, tensions aren’t only running high in Young Thespians. It appears as if friction has affected the relationship between a certain royal and famed noble on this campus.

We’ve kept our eyes on this story for quite some time. Admittedly first out of disbelief, as students are always so quick to point an accusatory finger at those wealthier and more powerful than them solely for the sake of slander. And, despite what our opposition may be quick to say, we are not in the business of foolish character assassination, particularly against well loved royals.

However, as accounts have built up and evidence has been provided, we’ve no choice but to make our readers privy to a certain interesting connection taking place on this campus.

Just a few weeks ago, Princess Eden Kobayashi was seen stopping Lord Alon Lee in his tracks as he left the Eastertide event. One witness reported overhearing the royal ask to speak with the Nanami noble, and much to their shock, he declined to do so. However, the awkward interaction did not end there. Apparently, the princess continued to hold him in his spot and offered the lord a compliment, to which he reciprocated prior to leaving.

Strange indeed, but things get even weirder from there.

Upon returning to campus, several witnesses wrote in to let us know of another awkward interaction that took place between the two in none other than their shared ethics class. Princess Eden Kobayashi was seen waving at someone in the lecture hall. As we’re sure you all can guess it was the Nanami noble himself who appeared to be less than enthusiastic about her attention.

Reports get iffy from there as some witnesses claim Lord Alon was glaring at her, while others say he had no expression at all. Perhaps the lord needs to pay closer attention to his ethics class to learn that one doesn’t simply ignore a royal’s wave. Such behavior may be expected of a noble or heir from a lesser family, but it’s no secret that the Lee household has been a longstanding powerhouse in Nanami.

While Princess Eden may not be his nation’s royal, there’s something to be said about his lack of respect towards her. However, we’ll leave those corrections to their ethics professor, or perhaps, his family. Our focus is better set on observing these two, and that is certainly something we plan on doing.

After all, what exactly could be brewing here?

Lord Alon is far from the only man who has found himself in a strange spot with a lady.

A certain president of the Dance team appears to not be letting his injuries slow him down at all. One of our more diligent birds from Sora wrote in to share with us photos of none other than Matteo Celeste living his best life at a nightclub in the Air nation. Yes, our readers, a nightclub.

Not only was Matteo seen partying despite his injuries, but he was dancing with an unrecognizable woman while there. In his defense, there is a good chance the heir was only blowing off steam after an understandably traumatizing ordeal in his home nation. Though our eyebrows must raise nonetheless.

Our witness claims that Matteo’s interaction with the girl took a quick turn as they began to speak. According to them – and the rather blurry photos they shared – it looked as if the man was rather upset in his discussion with her. For those of you who know little about Matteo, the Sora heir is an Air Force soldier who is well known for rarely showing any emotion. Though despite all accounts that he’s a stoic figure, emotions undoubtedly ran high that night with his mystery woman.

It’s only natural to assume that the unfortunate heir got in a bit of a lover’s quarrel with whoever the young lady was. So much for a night out to let off steam.

Still, we hope that Matteo had a good evening, and got home safe and sound following his night out. We’d also suggest that instead of turning to clubs and debauchery to cope, that Matteo take a trip to a therapy session.

Perhaps one of the free therapy sessions being offered up by Arcadia University’s very own student government organization!

As students get settled back into campus after a horrid event, the House has made an amazing resource to students of all ranks. From therapy and grief services to emotional support animals on campus, no expense has been spared.

All signs point back to none other than Lord Lucius Yi for his amazing guidance as a leader on campus at this time. Snell Hall and Winthrop Court residents alike report that Lord Lucius has gone above and beyond to support every student on campus in these trying times. If the lord hadn’t secured himself another term in the next student government election before, he certainly has now.

Ask any student in passing what they think of Lord Lucius and many of them would have nothing but amazing things to say about the House President.

For a student body so fickle at times, it is certainly an amazing feat to win the respect and love of the majority. History is written every day on Arcadia University’s campus, and it seems as if Lord Lucius is being written into campus history as quite possibly the best student government president in the school’s very long history.

Kudos to you, Lord Lucius!

While Lord Lucius is a rising star in the House’s meeting quarters, there is certainly another one just across campus on Arcadia University’s famed football fields.

With football season in full swing all eyes have been on Arcadia University’s varsity teams though one has garnered more attention than most. Ellis Winward may be relatively new to the team but he has quickly become a fan favorite. Attend any men’s football game and it won’t be hard to find his name written across a good portion of the fansigns across the stadium.

Affectionately named ‘Arcadia’s Angry Bird’ by fans, the heir has been praised for his incredible performance on the field and his lovable personality off of it as well. Our team stopped fans with highly coveted tickets to Arcadia University’s men’s team game to ask them one simple question: What do you think of Ellis Winward?

Answers varied in excitement, adoration, and admittedly obscenity, but the overwhelming theme was made clear. Fans love Ellis.

There’s no denying that the heir is the men’s football team’s latest rising star.

While Ellis is quickly making a name for himself on and off the field, fellow player Declan Song has taken to Arcadia University’s dueling center. Already, he has found himself in a rather interesting situation.

Drama in the dueling center is far from a rare occurrence on campus, but it isn’t often that eyebrows are raised over something as simple as a change in dueling partners. Witnesses report having seen Lord Soleil Rhys Nerezza and Declan Song dueling each other within the facilities on campus.

It’s only to be expected within the dueling center, so why would this be odd enough to warrant a mention?

The apparent interesting means Lord Soleil used in order to replace Declan’s previous dueling partner. Some of our braver witnesses claim that they overheard the Sirius noble threatening the Nanami heir’s previous dueling partner in order to take his spot.

Naturally, our team had to do our due diligence to investigate this sudden switch up. We had many questions, but the first one was relatively simple: how do these two seemingly very different men know each other?

As far as we know they don’t, if anything, it appears as if they’re practically strangers. Weird indeed! There’s no shortage of questions about the circumstances behind these two suddenly becoming quite cozy dueling partners, but we could spin our heads all day long about this.

One thing is for certain – there appears to be some tensions brewing between the two and we’re quite excited to see how it’ll pan out. Will Lord Soleil eat Declan alive as his unfortunate dueling partner or will they become partners in crime?

Only time will tell.

Speaking of partners in crime, it seems as if Nanami’s very own Prince Hyacinth Narelle has found himself in the unlikely company of a rather odd citizen on campus.

Allow us to start from the beginning of this incredibly strange tale.

Have you ever heard of Overbooked?

Our first guess would be that you haven’t. Not only because it’s an incredibly new club on campus – marketed as the school’s premier book club – but it’s also a very unusual group led by a rather eccentric Nanami citizen by the name of Ahana Sema.

Sounds harmless enough right?

Don’t let innocent faces and well-loved books fool you. Overbooked, and its interesting President, has found itself at the center of a rather concerning scandal.

In February, the book club chose Twilight to be its book of the month. Yes, Twilight, the fiction romance novel that’s all about vampires and werewolves… Do you see where we’re going with this? Interestingly, just two short months after reading and dissecting the book together, the school’s student body ends up in the most traumatizing of Arcadia University’s history with none other than… Well, surely you don’t need us to remind you of the monsters that terrorized our poor students.

Upon return to campus, Ahana was apparently called into the administration’s office to discuss this awful coincidence and the book club’s future on campus. As far as we can tell, the seemingly sweet citizen appears to have gotten away without consequence as the school couldn’t punish the club for simply enjoying supernatural fiction.

We’d say it’s for the best too. After all, we’d hate to see Prince Hyacinth frowned upon for his relation to something as simple as a book club. It’s not the prince’s fault he has found such love and passion for literature… though perhaps there’s something to be said about his choice in company.

Shall we remind you all of a certain choice in company the prince made at the Valentine’s Gala which ironically took place while reading Twilight for this club? Perhaps we shouldn’t!

While our independent investigation revealed no evidence to support claims that Overbooked is guilty of manifesting the attack, we can agree with student concerns on campus that the group is a little… unconventional. But unconventional has never killed anyone… right?

We’ll be keeping our eyes on Overbooked without a doubt… though from a distance. It can’t hurt to take necessary measures to protect ourselves. A good amount of sunlight, fire on hand, and perhaps some garlic for good measure. We’d recommend you all do the same! Or join to find yourself reading right alongside Nanami’s dreamy prince – if you’re willing to risk it.

And for the members of Overbooked, we’d suggest you steer clear of any more suspicious books. What’s next… Harry Potter?

Indeed, Arcadia University’s clubs are buzzing with life across campus as the year comes to a slow end! Like many other students on campus, we’re eagerly looking forward to seeing what the clubs have planned. From Spring plays to charity drives, there’s no shortage of activities blossoming across campus, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on everything these hardworking clubs have planned.

May their activities go off without a hitch! Though, in the unfortunate case that they do not go off perfectly, our team will be looking forward to diligently reporting on those failures as well.

Happy Sunday, our readers! We hope you’ve enjoyed the return of our lovely little gossip blog. Like always, keep whispering and writing in, for we will always be listening.
