goose_ooc | 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.

no time for trauma when you're too exhausted to think!!!!!

honestly anything rosy wants to do to keep busy, sy will do with her. i think if they didn't need SOMEONE with a steady full time job sy would also be taking a gap year because... shit... but also throwing himself into playing quid is a good way to Not Think About It, so it's fine. he is seriously just going to have a minor freak out the first time he doesn't see Rosy for more than 6 hours though

god the first time rosy falls asleep at danny's sy ends up busting in the door and danny's just like "im taking you assholes go the Verizon store Jesus fuck, you need cell phones"

He laughs for about 15 minutes first because it scares the shit out of his roommate whom he hates.

perfect

rosy has instituted a chore wheel in this dorm she doesn't even live in and every time she comes over and danny's roommate hasn't done his chores she disciplines him. he hates both of them.

God he loves her so much. And always does his chores or at least shoves his laundry under his bed when he knows she's about to come over.
