[text] 002: eating all the ghostie cookies

[blue_karat]

[ Francine very nearly opened her post with "Since when did we have ghosts on campus?". Thankfully, by the time she finished writing the whole thing up, she realized that, hey, maybe there actually were ghost students enrolled in the school, and she edited the opening to be something a little less ignorant. ]

What happened the other day? There was a large influx of ghosts for a while, but then they vanished as quickly as they came. Should I expecting that sort of thing for other upcoming holidays as well?

Apparitions aside, I've been making my candy haul last throughout this whole week. I've seen people gorge themselves in one night and get utterly sick the next day, and that is not an experience I wish to go through.

With all these holidays coming up, the weeks leading up to them are going to feel empty. I trust that the academy will find some way to fill the time with excitement? Preferably without floating desserts and spirits.


Greetings, Mr. Powers,

This is Francine. I spoke to you during the carnival about a possible wall sculpture commission.

I wasn't sure if you only wanted something simple, or if you were also willing to do something more complex if I provided the design. I sent two ideas so that you can look them over; I would prefer the flower.

You can contact me further at my e-mail address: bluekarat@ac.com. From there I can work out payment.

That sort of thing happens all the time! Well, not ghosts specifically, but sudden, unexplainable things. It sort of comes with the territory. You'll get used to it soon enough, dahling~!

I'm slowly starting to understand that unusual things happen here frequently, but that doesn't mean I'm getting any more used to it. Going away for the holidays might be for the best after all.

Oh! But then you might miss the mistletoe~! And that would be a travesty indeed!

[Run, Francine. Run as far as you can.]

[blue_karat]

If there is mistletoe up before Christmas week, I might still be around. Although I'm still a bit leery of allowing mistletoe to be put up in this school. They... They don't usually get hung up over every single doorway, do they?

I can probably do the flower for you without a problem. Do you want it in copper or in steel? Copper will be easier to produce, but the steel will be more durable.

I'd prefer steel, please.
