peckenpaugh | 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.

If your character wants to guess at who they're talking to, please be fair and do not abuse OOC knowledge! There is no way to truly track down who is saying what.

If you have any questions or concerns as this post unfolds, please contact the mods!

Anyone heard of Paw Paw before?

I think it’s a muggle town.

Think I heard a thing or two

And?

There's a PAW_AW within _MI of a sign it took half a goddamn day to find.

Find? You traveled?

Hiked our asses off and I didn't even get a bottle of jack to show for it

Which direction?

[.....]

I will get you a bottle of jack, if that makes this interrogation more attractive.

North/northwestish but it's a fucking wilderness out there and we had a map

How did you hear about Paw Paw

I’m observant.

Observant where?
I’m trying to find more

How do you know about Paw Paw?

I gave Mr. Swint a stroke at my job interview, and he started talking about it. A few weeks later, I was mercilessly dumped into the Wildgulch hot springs and had a vision wherein Mr. Swint was trying to tell Caleb to, possibly, stay away from Paw Paw.

I’m going to kill you one day :)

P R O M I S E

Oh, pinky swear

Hm.

I think Paw Paw was destroyed by something from Elflock Falls.

Do any of these names mean anything to you?: Lola Spillum, Prometheus Albrecht, Leopold Szabo, Lyla Swan, Paprika Arnold

Who names their child Paprika.

[...] No, though. Who are they?
Have you tried looking through city records? Their filing system is absurd.

Someone trying to hide their child’s true name from an evil sorceress?

An LS and PA from the late ‘80s might be able to tell us more about Paw Paw. Those are just students with those initials. Maybe nothing.

Everything important is covered in lichen.
