A Spill of Ink...

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...

  • All comments made on this post are completely anonymous! No names are signed to what people write, and with the exception of one Certain Someone in particular, all text shows in a nondescript white handwriting, making it difficult to identify who the words belong to.

  • 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.

  • This entry appears a bit before noon, and will persist well into the evening, when it will disappear completely from journals.

I've buried mine a couple of times, but it only had a reaction at Thorntrail. Nothing happened at Mothgarden. Haven't tried it near the other houses yet, but maybe we should just to be thorough.

Plus, I put it in the fountain in the Motharden maze and it went ballistic.

Ooh, I hadn't heard about the Mothgarden fountain! That sounds exciting.

I was considering keeping one as a control, but... I'm very curious to see what would happen if we buried it outside Central Classrooms or in Deeplurk.

It [...] was.

Trudy has first dibs on mine, but maybe we can coordinate and get serious about figuring this shit out.

This is Claudia! I don't have sole custody over my mystery rock and I'm new to the whole thing but this is fascinating, and I love a good excuse to compile data, so I'm ready to hop in with both feet!

Like it or not, I think we gotta.

This is Merlin.

You should know they can kinda mess with your head sometimes. Like [...] surprise-trance messing with your head. That's what happened after the fountain.

Strange! And probably not good for y Maybe we can figure out a way to avoid that — using gloves, passing them around, or just being safe and making sure any time we try to experiment we do it while laying down on the ground with a pillow under our heads.

Maybe. [...] Guess we'll see what happens from here on out.
