A Spill of Ink...

[peckishmods]

Just before lunch, any students with open journals will find doodles of flowers creeping across their first blank page. As the purple flowers grow, word spreads from student to student and more journals open to watch the display. Darker and darker, denser and denser, until the whole page is a deep and glistening indigo.

That seems to be the end of the show, until somewhere a single pen is put to paper and white ink appears...

• This has never happened before. While the journals have always been buggy, and certain journal users have been misclassified, misidentified, or listed as Unknown User, total anonymity is absolutely new.

I had a thought, here.
After the fact.
Armani gave his stone cicada back to the Muscheron. Thorntrail. That’s ...well woods technically, but still. Maybe it has something to do with the houses.

So do you take the rock to visit every house or does one from each house gotta give theirs to the muscheron?

Re: HAS SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED TO YOU?

[necrodanseuse]

I was thinking the latter, since we have been messing with them at different houses.

[crowhop]

Messing how

Re: HAS SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED TO YOU?

[necrodanseuse]

Burying, but I don’t remember what that did. (Anyone with more experience here feel free to chime in.)
Bathing them in Wildgulch’s springs turned it gold but not a key.

HAS SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED TO YOU?

[quidditched]

Not always.

Never buried though.

Re: HAS SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED TO YOU?

[necrodanseuse]

No?
Well maybe that’s something to try.

Maybe the house of the person doing it matters?

If Chanel's freaked out when she got dumped in Wildgulch does that mean she's supposed to be a Wildgulch

HAS SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED TO YOU?

[quidditched]

Yeah. Think so.

I might not be the sharpest tool in the shed but that don't look like all four houses to me.

Re: HAS SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED TO YOU?

[necrodanseuse]

It isn’t, yet.
We should do more controlled experiments. House based.
I mean it’s possible that these don’t have a thing to do with the keys. It was only a thought.

Re: HAS SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED TO YOU?

[themurderbird]

It's w good place to start!

Re: HAS SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED TO YOU?

[themurderbird]

Maybe they need to be exposed to the correct element at each house. Earth at Thorntrail, water at Deeplurk, etc.

Re: HAS SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED TO YOU?

[nublada]

I might be able to get my hands on one that hasn't been exposed to any elements if a control is needed.

Re: HAS SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED TO YOU?

[themurderbird]

PERFECT!
