It is slightly disturbing to think back on the past year and be unable to remember when the last real vacation time I had was.

If nothing else, I suppose you can't say Neopolis Academy doesn't prepare you for the real world of Neopolis.

So, I suppose I should get this bracelet back to you.

in case holding back the avalance goes poorly:

i hate this dying crap NEVERMIND

[this is posted some considerable time after Erik's planning post - after the plan has gone down and the collars have been deactivated. ie, gayest victory over VILLAIN ever.]

[FILTERED TO STUDENTS & FACULTY]

Well... that was thoroughly reputation-ruining. At least we have our key.

[Locked to Dani Storm, after the video recaps come]

What the hell was that shit?!

If you can see this, stop moving. I can't see anyone - I can barely see this SCREEN - and the last thing we all need is to get lost in this. Theresa! I don't think you can hear me over the wind. Can you do something?? Jimmy?

Requisite 'where are you, how are you' post, I suppose. I'm with Jimmy, Theresa, Toni, Violet, Reggie Park and that kid in Magic that looks like Johnny Snow. And Bishop, Crawford and Harris, too. Alba Abomina wants us to climb a mountain and do a hostile takeover of some mystical temple. So far it's just us, some goats, and a lot of hiking.

[LOCKED to Nate NeFarious]

What is the matter with you?

[Locked to Dani Storm, Dominique Deville]

All right, it's that time of year again. Time to start drawing up the invitations lists. Suggestions for a restaurant? Not Fugu, obviously.

[PRIVATE TO SIMON LIEBOWITZ]

So, how's Grandpa?

Simon, come get your machine.

Leaving aside feelings of deserving and justification, I, for one, would like to see something constructive come out of this. Calling names and making denouncements from on high doesn't actually help. Belittling those of us who feel passionate about our allegiances doesn't help.

If you want to engender resentment, and let the wounds on all sides fester, then by all means, let's continue to sling accusations and toss around insults. Or worse, pretend like all this doesn't matter. This is Neopolis. It matters.

Now more than ever, maybe, since the arrival of VILLAIN. If there was ever a time to start learning how to work together (because, after all, the academy's mission is about unity, not neutrality), it's now. Before something bigger and worse than a couple of zombie bites comes along.

Janelle, when you're feeling up to it, I'd like to meet with you. I have some ideas you might be interested in helping me out with.

[LOCKED to Cole Jones]

You need to learn the meaning of 'eye for an eye'.

[LOCKED to Joe McCreedy]

Are you all right?

[LOCKED to Jessi Evans]

Thanks for helping me out.

[LOCKED to Ellie van Helsing, Joe McCreedy]

Talk about an auspicious start to the trimester.

[LOCKED to Jessi Evans]

Insert joke here about having nothing better to test out your new powers than a Calamitous gone bad blah blah blah. How'd you hold up?

[LOCKED to Nate NeFarious, Dominique Deville, Cole Jones, Trish Terroretti]

How is he? What are you going to do about Harris?

[LOCKED to Dani Storm]

Hey, how's your head?

[LOCKED to Dani, Trish, Dom, Beatrix, Claire, Ivy]

Anyone up for showing Ellie Van Helsing some League hospitality should find themselves hanging around the Skymall on Wednesday.

And no, I don't mean that euphemistically.

Living in a hotel gets old pretty fast.

Johnny, baby, we have some unfinished business.

Let's attend to it.
