ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jul 7

Hello everyone! Here's details on how to handle the remaining three weeks of game:

On the evening of Sat, Jun 23, the world gets back into contact with the remaining evacuees of Gooseberry High. MACUSA immediately seizes control of the school for further investigation. This includes shutting down the magical journal system for two weeks.

A funeral is held for Zebulon Merrill in Salt Lake City, UT, on Sat, Jun 30. He is remembered by his wife and two adult children, and will be interred in Brigham City Cemetery. All current and former students of Gooseberry are invited to attend, and several of Mr. Merrill's colleagues deliver speeches. (We won't be posting anything for this, but you can reference this event happening.)

On Sun, Jul 8, access to the magical journal system is restored. Everyone who was a student from 2014–15 (i.e. not last year's graduates) can write posts and comments again. Anything that was written before July 8 (e.g. endgame posts) is still visible but can't be responded to anymore.

The return of the magical journal system coincides with the announcement that Gooseberry Alternative High School is shut down until further notice. All freshmen, sophomores and juniors (including exchange students) are all automatically given admission to Ilvermorny, should they wish to continue at an American boarding school. If they choose to continue their studies elsewhere, their academic records will be sent to the new school. Everyone will have received this news by owl post on July 8.

Gooseberry's magical journal system will officially deactivate forever on Wed, Aug 1.

What does this mean for you?

Starting tomorrow, you can post journal entries/comments, IC/OOCs, letters, etc. like normal. It's summer vacation! PLOT HERE about your characters' activities for the past two weeks.

Although graduates can't post on the journals, they are allowed to show up in any summer IC/OOCs or to send mail to current characters.

Your mods are off-duty except for two posts we'll do sometime soon: the "Where Are They Now?" meme (for discussion of your characters' futures) and the 10 Year Reunion IC/OOC. All former students of Gooseberry will be invited to the reunion, regardless of when they attended.

Tue, Jul 31 will be the last day of the game. You will still be able to backtag for as long as you want, but no new posts will be allowed in either the IC or OOC comms as of Aug 1. Everything will stand as a record of the incredible love and work we've all put into this game for the past two years.

for context @everyone: i was telling katie that if casper does his boys SO DIRTY as to get privately courthouse married, ulysses will retaliate by setting up a huge and expensive wedding registry for them so that he and asher are forced to own $1500 bowls and $140 forks

This is beautiful

he should have taken muggle studies

At least he'll still learn how to be obnoxious on tech - better late than never!!!

god forbid he simply go quietly

YEP. ♥

But he still wants to hear from you every day, please, Cameron.

he'll be lucky if it's only once a day tbh

Casper gets back from training in the evening to twenty text messages and they're all just bear emojis and pictures and song lyrics.

And it makes him smile but he does his best to hide it. Leave him alone.

That's exactly it, and it's good he doesn't hate it, because he has no choice.

cute :3
