So it turns out stealing is against the rules. Pff! Who cares about the rules? The Dean does, and old Spongi does, so I'm going to pass on stealing for now. Instead, I took my Jeep to the Pre-Engineering building and "borrowed" their tools to put a TS in my car.
Now I can go back to the days of Victorian London, buy some sweet clothes, eat some grub with my boyfriend, and hop in and go to the next time period and place. It's great that I can take him out now. It was embarrassing, going to that mock-50's diner, having to hold hands, the whole school looking at us. The school now has 1,174 people, which is a lot of eyes, staring you down.
So they've decked the cafeteria and office lobby in Y-Mas knickknacks and a giant fir tree is in the courtyard, a breathtaking view from my dorm. The house mothers left a sprig of mistletoe over one of my doorways. That must be her saying she'll let Omega stay in my room. My problem is, how did she know?
I have plans for dinner with Omega, and I have to get ready. He's meeting me here. Maybe I'll pull him under the mistletoe before we go to that speakeasy in 1926!

So, @Alexander, congratulations on getting Student of the Month! There was not a doubt in my heart that you would get it.
Which leads me to a couple questions my sister has asked me:
A: How do you get to be Student of the Month?
Usually, it's the people who get the highest scores on all of their tests and such, and the highest grades in their classes. Which means you gotta write a lot.
A: How could there be ANY WAY in any of the nine natural worlds to navigate this campus!? How!?
Well, there isn't really, but I'll give you a good tour.

We start out at the office manor. They have free tea, so a lot of students like to hang out in the lobby. If you really need to go to any of the offices, go straight upstairs, because the downstairs area is the admissions office and doors to the faculty and staff dorms. NEVER, EVER go into the fac dorms. They will hiss and spit. It's rather scary, actually.

Ok, see that fork in the path, with a gravel path in the middle? That is the exact center of campus. Right there, that little plant with the silver leaves, is @Silverfawn. He gives directions. Yes, he's alive. Yes, he can talk. And walk. It's pretty cool.

There's the cafeteria building. It's got a mini reality generator for whatever themed dance we're having. That's your stereotypical cafeteria food, but actually good. Also, it's fun when you get mystery meat because it's more like a challenge presented by the lunch demon than an example of bad funding. The students try to guess what it is using their powers. If they get it right, they get extra credit for a random class!

If you want co-ed dorms, ask for the Leeman Dorm Building. On the top floor, they have bigger rooms and the kids that live there have weekend parties. Basically a giant fraternity, the Leeman kids. You should probably stay in Krezner, because we have a view of the courtyard and gardens.

Hey, look, there's the libraries! That's the Self-Aware Library, that's the Telekinesis Library, and that's a portal into town so you can go to the Normal librar- why is it called the telekinesis library? It's not, I just call it that because the books go all the way to the ceiling, and there are no ladders. The ceilings are several stories high. *badum-chhh* I am sorry, I had to.

Look, there's a kid coming out of the library, now! He's got a wicked magic staff, and he just saw us staring at him. He's running away! I think he stole it, some kid named @Young Jim Horner told me about his missing staff. Take a picture so we know what he looks like!

@timberlina-
Oh yeah. The piece of paper that he gave to me while making squeaklike noises? I have it in my drawer! Stop by Krezner 4-22, and I can give it to you! If you want to stay and have a mug of hot chocolate, that would be great! We can maybe discuss Arts and Crafts, too. I think there is a possibility that we could start an art club, if you've picked up the news lately.

Save the Ordinary People

11/29/2015 6:51pm

I spent the better part of my life around ordinary people, and ~~BELIEVE ME,~~ they do not need saved. Maybe most of the jobs are boring, but the things they have created to fill their normal lives are simply wonderful. And while they don't have flying cars or the ability to safely travel through the dimensions, they do have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. And normal people created Starbucks. And I have a dad who's completely normal, and his inventions are really cool.
But that's just my opinion. If you want to save the ordinary people, I firmly believe you can make choices for yourself.

Host: Reporting from Hillville, it's Pearline, and her sister Alix.
Pearline: That's right! Just last week, my sister found out that she was psychic when she had a strange out-of-body experience. I am with Alix now, getting all of the details before she starts at PsyHigh!
Alix: You are so weird.
P: So Alix, are you excited to figure out what strange, inhuman things your body can do?
A: Uh, I guess?
P: And what is our age difference?
A: It's four and a half months, but you knew that.
P: How did that happen?
A: Mom tells that story all the time, P. While she was pregnant with you, her body did something weird and at the halfway mark, I was officially a fertile egg, or whatever.
P: How excited was she when she found out you were psychic?
A: Finally, something you don't know! She was freaking out, and her hair turned green.
P: Huh. That's a new one.
A: Yeah. Now I want to ask some questions.
P: Shoot.
A: What's the food like? Is it like the stuff at HAP?
P: They don't serve food there... but the food here is good. There are multiple cafeterias, but one of them is in a pocket universe and the portal is hidden. It's rumored that a food critic somehow tripped into the portal, ate the food, and gave it five stars. He's still stuck there!
A: Cool! Ok... on a scale of 1-10, how lost will I get?
P: 11. Well, I'd give you a 13, because you might end up splitting yourself into the Pixie Forest, which is not as safe as it sounds. Unless you steal @Aaron Dee's golden sharpie, which I recommend you do not steal anything.
A: What is Psy Corps? And did you really solve a mystery?
P: Basically, in the Psychic World, you add the prefix "psy" to any normal word and you get a cool, psychic phenomenon! Psy Corps is our police. Dad's in the PC! And, although I did help a little, the evidence of TSAS laid itself out in front of us.
A: Can I keep a pet? Frankie would probably die if Mason [our brother] took care of her.
P: If you want her, claim you have some sort of psychic connection and find the right dorm building. I have a cat, but of course she can actually talk to me. Unless you and Frankie...?
A: I wish!
P: As for finding your way around campus, I'm sure I'll be somewhere on the Orientation Board. Good luck with your roommate, though. Sometimes they can go weeks without talking! Back to you, Bob.
A: Who are you talking to?
P: Let me have my moment here! *continues to smile at invisible camera*

I emptied my mail today.
Ads, ads, aha! A crisp white envelope, with a blotch of something amber. 4-22, Krezner. In normal handwriting.

---
Bro! I need the TV back. Turns out we need to do some dumb history with a VCR tape that is about as old as the stuff we're learning about.
You know that chick I was talking about, the one-- Yeah, this is not for me. I resealed it and put it in the mail for 3-22 Krezner.

A brightly colored leaf, with pictures of happy people with sparks jumping out of their eyes.

Sorry Big Jim.
In a nice, sky-blue envelope:

Hey, P!

I was going to ask you today in obscure chem but I didn't get a chance: you were already out the door! I have done a few commissions for the Squirrel Empire. Anyway, the statues are heavy and I need you to drive your Jeep up the hill to the Seat of the Squirrels.
Thanks!
-@timberlina

Most definitely, Timberlina! I'll meet you at the bottom of the hill. I hope it's not too late.
Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow to see my sister before she moves here.

So we of the unsuccessful Summoning 101 class decided to have a seance. It shall be tonight, at like seven. I asked my ghost friends, the ones who don't need to be summoned, what time they prefer seances, and they don't care. So like seven it is! Anyone who is interested is welcome to come, but it must be less than thirteen. @Alexander and @Nobody are welcome to bring people with them. Make sure you wear black!

Just a Friendly Gathering

11/18/2015 2:24pm

As the season bitters into winter, some of my friends are getting ready for hibernation. Others are beginning to feel more at home in the cold weather. Me? I'm getting buried alive in all of these winter clothes my mom keeps sending, with notes that read "Bundle up!" Or something to that extent.

Sorry I haven't written. I was trying to summon ghosts, which in a whole is rather bothersome, not because it is hard, but because I don't feel challenged by the class at all! Besides, we were only allowed to summon a Class I poltergeist, or in layman's terms, a floating white blob who is too lame to have a story to tell. They are usually inanimate objects or dead/miscarried babies. Also some kid with quote, "pro skillz with a z" unquote, decided to summon a demon instead. Ah, I hope we have a skilled enough healer to cure his egotitis. Oh, no, his psychic power is inflated self confidence! That's probably what that big lump on his back is. Sorry you had to witness that awful excuse for a seance, @Alexander. At least people like you and I were successful.
I'm asking to switch to the honors class tomorrow. Someone must have messed up my schedule. Plus, the honors class is taught by Dr Tahity of the Citadel, my favorite teacher.

In other news, they just built a restaurant on my dimension of campus! Finally, I can avoid the hassle of portals. Omega and I went on a date the day after the Grand Opening. They have some good mushroom cappuccino, and tiramisu! And the view was amazing as we were right next to the Statue of David. From an alternate universe.
When we were first seated, I saw it, and I told Omega, "Don't look left!" He almost threw up. Oh, good old David.
For our next date, I might take Omega to the past, but I'm still working out the details, like what era we'll go to, or how we'll get there! I know we have a Time Travel department somewhere around here, and they might have some time-space machines I can /borrow/. I'll try to decipher @Aaron Dee's golden markings. Maybe we could go to the Renaissance! Or to a speakeasy brothel in the twenties! Maybe I'm getting too carried away with this project.

I want to get a deal with the S-AL like @Nobody. Or I could invite her over for a séance! And Alexander! Ooooh, that'll be fun. I'll do both.

There is something that I cannot seem to locate in the back of my brain. Ok: next vacation, I am taking an internal journey. How do I do that? I don't know.

Well, I've been rambling a bit. I have to go, I have a heist to plan.

So..uh, this show, it's pretty good, right? I haven't seen it yet. I probably should, but.. I don't know. Omega says he wants to see it.
We've also heard rumors from one @Hazel Mektis. What's the show about, and what's this shade surrounding it? I hesitate only for that reason.

AUGH! I MISSED FRIDAY 13TH AGAIN! The Binaural Tones Marching Band was at a championship game yesterday, against our rival Mystic. It went into overtime, and PHS won, but I was so tired I went straight to sleep on the bus back.
Also, I'm sorry, @Rogue, I did not realize you were a female. That's embarrassing. I hope we can be really good friends, and I hope you control your losses. If you need help finding your way around I'll help you!
Omega and I have been really close. He came to the game yesterday and cheered for the band more than the team. Aww!
Umm....
OH! That's what I was about to write about! My sister, who is the same age as me, just discovered her ability! Alix had this weird dream, she said, where she saw herself looking around really confused, and then she "woke up," but it was like she was sucked back into her person! She'll be here after thanksgiving break, when, according to Mom, we will have a little welcoming ceremony. Mom also said that she may be able to bilocate. Maybe.
I'll just have Alix bilocate here so I can give her a great big hug! She just turned 14, too, which is half of a year younger than me.
