'The White Rose'
The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips
Your parents are going to make out with each other tomorrow.
[Aris]
Congrats on the big win. [...] Are you busy?
[Imogen]
Is your cicada still boring?

quodpot?? sure, a little. but i'll play next year and now i can focus on cheer! it's all good. it was fun while it lasted, you know?
[......]
yeah. i saw that. i'll help if i can.
no subject
[Aris]
It was fun to watch you. I think I was getting it, by the end.
[...] Do you think we should keep trying to find out what happened?
no subject
buti know!! just weird, right?[Viola]
yeah?? if you ever want to try for yourself, i can show you the ropes!
[......]
i dunno. pocket said he's lying. but she didn't give you a straight answer either. [...] what do your instincts say?
no subject
[Aris]
Oh, I don’t know. It’s a lot of violence.
My instincts say I shouldn’t meddle with things I don’t understand but I’m finding myself upset by the idea of never knowing what happened to the Qualls.
no subject
i don't think she dates much anyway, though, so.
[Viola]
only if you play like that. we don't have to! [...] always messy, though.
[...] so, like, head says no but heart says yes? sorta?
no subject
[Aris]
I don't necessarily mind a mess.
Yes! [.....] That seems to be my theme this year.
no subject
[Viola]
game on, then!! [...] if you want!
yeah.
me tthat's hard! [......] i think we should, then. at least until we know more. but it's def up to you. you're sherlock.no subject
[Aris]
You'll have to teach me how to fly first.
How do you feel about me messing with those cicada shells? Watson is full of valuable insight.
no subject
[Viola]
i can do that!! [...] you don't fly at all?
i mean. the 'real' one does. but he went to medical school and stuff. [...] do you have a cicada??
Aris/Viola
You're my real Watson.
I don't but Imogen is going to let me fuss with hers a little, I think.
Re: Aris/Viola
[...] thanks, vi. ♥
w o a h . ok! then i think [...] it can't hurt, right?? to try. and to get another perspective on it. as long as you don't mess with it by yourself. people have said some weird stuff about them, right?
Aris/Viola
I don't think they're particularly dangerous. It sounds like they just give you visions of the past. I've had visions before, in a way.
Aris/Viola
[...]
you have?
Aris/Viola
It feels a bit like having visions when I automatic write. Visions of words, you could say.
Aris/Viola
that makes sense. [...] maybe that'll make you more prepared for it! like. maybe it'll come in clearer. but i guess there's only one way to find out.
Aris/Viola
I hope so. I feel like I know what is happening but don’t know anything, at the same time.
I don’t know how much Imogen will let me mess with her cicada. I wonder if I should try to get my own.
Aris/Viola
i bet a lot of people feel that way. for what it's worth.
do you know how the others got theirs?? we could try.
Aris/Viola
Hm, I'm sure they do. But I think we know more.
Some people found them, it sounds like. Twice I've seen Lionel get one by asking a teacher questions they weren't able to answer though. I think that's the surest way.
Aris/Viola
that makes sense. [...] didn't that make mr. potkin like [...] short circuit, though?
Aris/Viola
Only a little. He seems fine now.
Aris/Viola
i guess that's true. and whatever makes that happen's caused by something else, not by us asking. that's just the trigger. [...] hey. mr. purcell's gotta be safe from this, right? since he's an occlumency master. do you think we should ask him about it? or would he just shut us down?
Aris/Viola
Exactly. Pocket must have known this was a possibility. I don't think she would do anything that could truly hurt them.
Did Mr. Purcell go here in 1988-89? He might not know anything about what happened but he may have some insight into what IS happening now? You're very charming. I'm sure you can get him to talk.
Aris/Viola
yeah! yeah, she
probablywouldn't.i don't think he likes me much, but i can def ask him! charm is subjective but persistence isn't!! leave it to me.
Aris/Viola
Probably.
How could he not? Thank you, Aris.
I think I'm going to ask Mr. Trullinger about Qualls. I know he was around when it happened. And he seems sturdy.
Aris/Viola
probably.
i think he only likes serious people like presley?? but idk. maybe queen guinevere doesn't like me and he's just following her lead? i should bring her a treat when i go see him. i'll let you know what happens!!
it's the beard. [...] sounds like a plan! hopefully you'll learn something, even if you don't get a cicada.
