Yesterday was fun. Me and @Morris getting to be really good friends, although we need to keep a low profile I think after um, displacing a few things in Prof. Fakanami's classroom. I hang out with him and @Scilph sometimes. Seems like they're sharing journals now... Hehe... They're so sweet. Plus I have a really cool official game buddy @Nobody. The intro class to Professional Scrabble says that I MUST have an 'official' gaming buddy. She's definitely getting better at the whole invisibility thing, but we still talk on the astral plane sometimes, so a few students have looked at us funny when we're just staring intensely at each other. It's actually not weird, guys! We're just chatting! Jeez.

It feels great, having enrolled here so little time ago, and I've already been on adventures, picnics and gone to an epic celebration party. Haha @Pacifica! That's right, I AM the school! I'm the KING- *Throws arms out wide* *Hits Morris in the face* Oh my god, dude I'm so sorry! Okay forget that whole thing. You okay? O-okay? Don't make a big deal? You have a macho reputation to maintain? Ohh, oh right... You still wanna go for milkshakes? Oh oh bad timing. Cool.

My projections are able to interact with Morris, which is a godsend because I was feeling a bit down about never being able to high five anyone again. But I needn't have worried. I think it's the same when Nobody is invisible. Haha, another uh, person on the high five list! Gotta keep my street cred. *Random student yells 'Get a haircut!' while running past* Woah, rude? It's just messy, okay? It's charming! It's-

Nevermind.

Aand checkmate! ...No? What do you mean on only four dimensions out of five? Jeez @Nobody you're killing me. I know you're great at strategy but... Wait, did you plan this? Gah!

@Matching by Mattie finally showed, looking well considering a trip to the infirmary, Sounds rough. But I mean, the more universes the better! I did not know Prof. Fakanami was a dustball. Does this mean that room was his lab...? That we uh, trashed a little bit? Oh man, there was a dustball rolling outside the window the whole time...

*Makes slightly terrified eye contact with @Morris and clears throat* Anyway...

I doubt I can get more uncomfortable than this, Mattie. I hope I'm still allowed to attend the next customer growing club.

Eralonia and Morris seem to be having a moment. Mattie turning up seems to have really affected them.

Damn, now Nobody's winning...

Man, I remember something about under a willow tree now... I mean, the tree is outside the classroom, whose... Whose classroom is this?

Gah, I'm so sorry Eralonia. I keep offending people, your name has an A I will DEFINITELY remember from now on. There's definitely more people under the willow tree, and @Scilph... Speaking of somersaults @Morris, I drank some of that red liquid. I'm not feeling anything but a little queasy though. At least I have a confirmation on this shirt, nice one Walls! *Casts second projection to high five myself, then Morris*

I'm really looking forward to seeing that pocket universe. This has kind of turned into a picnic or sorts, and I'm finally getting to know people. We're mainly sat applauding Eralonia on her new dress, which she ran off to collect when it dropped out of the sky in a box stamped 'Piposshop Drone Delivery'. Your credit card must be getting thin, Morris...

@Nobody is here! Mattie would be ecstatic if she knew how many people turned up. But where is she? She seems to always be so punctual...

I'd better set up some chess.

Well, even if @Matching by Mattie is nowhere to be seen, this club has been a laugh so far. Me and @Morris were a bit reluctant to touch any of the equipment set up, and honestly it was a little intimidating, all those needles and electrodes and little static metal balls, even a distillery? The liquid inside it was red. No idea what that's for.

After a couple rounds of checkers, and Erelonia showing me a truly awful cat video, (I swear, a couple tears would have been shed if I had tear ducts) we started to investigate. Maybe a little less mature than investigating.

~I thought you were playing with the bunsen burners, showing off how little you could feel them?~

Haha, Erelonia, you got it all wrong, you're still traumatised. ((Mattie can't know??))

~Right, like she isn't going to read this. *Rolls eyes*~

Um. Anyway, the important thing is that Morris says my tshirt is definitely cute enough to be here. I mean, he was laughing, was it sarcasm? Erelonia seemed to be holding back laughter too. Still unsure about it. @Pacifica seems busy, but @Scilph should definitely make an appearance, for a third opinion. PLUS, it's been proven that me and Morris are equally matched when it comes to flames and uh, not feeling them. Also we might have burned the ceiling a little. And some bean bag thingies exploded when I threw one at Morris. Then we uh, exploded the rest of them. It was an accident! {Mate, I'm sorry but we have to own up to it! Mattie won't be too mad uh, I think...}

Also, where is Prof. Fakanami?

After two excellent games of chess, the score is 1-1... We'll have to schedule a few more matches soon! Although Nobody spent most of the time correcting my moves, I don't think I've quite got the rules down... My win was mostly down to Claude, taking my side of the board, giving me advice... Maybe we can start a games club, or you know, keep meeting with just us. And uh, Claude of course! He seems to be warming to me.

Haha, @Morris, I almost forgot you and @Scilph were an item now...

Well, here I am, the sign does say 'New: Customer Growing Club'. There's also a smaller sign on the window, saying 'Form a queue, no line cutting!!'. I'm looking around but, it's quite surreal, I can hear the wind whistling, through all the um, empty space and uh, I seem to be the only one here.

Holy heck, is that a dust ball? Those exist? Oh jeez, sorry sir. No, I know it was rude. Dust balls are a perfectly valid form. I'm sorry if your species receives discrimination. Yes. Yes sir. No, I'm not taking your class. I see you're in a rush.

Um... So I've managed to offend a teacher... I don't want to offend Mattie either, is my tshirt cute enough? Wasn't that a requirement? Ah well.

The door won't- It seems rusted shut- *Falls through the door*

Mattie's customer growing workshop doesn't happen for another hour, so I've just been popping up around the school really. Everyone else seems to be working. I signed up for a bunch of classes, Basmonian 101 - The Language Of Algae, The Business of Professional Scrabble, Tree Surgery for Beginners (A medical career I think, is maybe an option for me), and Pottery.

I don't get on the student role call until tomorrow though, and if I attend any staff-run classes the security bots may disintegrate me.

Hahaha @Morris! You should come Mattie's club so we can get more acquainted. I'm not drinking again for a while, I can still taste the light fragments, but maybe if the time is right in the future, we track down the person behind that punch. I think, us being liquor-partial transparent beings and all, it's inevitable. Oww, better not mention dogs around Claude. I know it's a stereotype, but I couldn't help but notice the dog counter piece is missing from @Nobody's monopoly set...

Speaking of Nobody, expect me over any minute! I came fourth, of was it seventh... Uh, in four dimensional chess at a tournament a couple years ago! Surely an extra dimension won't be that difficult to get the hang of. Maybe I should bring snacks too. It takes a while to get all 103 pieces in the right place.

Oh boy, kill me now. I just... 'woke up', I guess? In this bathroom. It's spotless, by the way, I think I made some really good friends of those cleaning androids, I think they tidied up around me while I was passed out. They couldn't get rid of these light fragment things that are sticking to the walls. I think I threw them up. This is so embarrassing. Apparently a similar thing happened to @Morris at spring formal. What is it with us metaphysical entities and weird psychic alcohol I wonder? Hope to meet you soon buddy.

Turns out I left the party earlier than I'd thought, sorry I flaked out on you @Nobody, it seems like you're a bit worn out of backgammon, so maybe we can move onto draughts or checkers or something. And I'd really hoped to um, steal a dance from her... And @Matching with Mattie of course, cause I mean, y'know, just cause it was a party and stuff and people uh, dance at parties. I don't remember if I danced. Thinking about it, I really hope not. Jeez, it was going so well until that punch appeared! Whoever brought that god forsaken punch is NOT on my good list. Wait, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I just feel really groggy... Woah, what time is it?? I WAS SUPPOSED TO WAKE ME UP... Oh my god, I'm truly useless.

I was hoping to sit in on the Customer Growing in Mattie's club today. Not to redeem my um... love consultation, I think I will save that, but I thought I'd learn something about biotechnology and growing cells from scratch. Have I missed it...? I'm going to have to pull myself together. Please don't judge me, I'm not normally like this, it is a one time thing.

I swear!

Woah! Haha... Someone... Some absolute guardian angel I swear... Making my way to the boiler room... *Leans against banister* they brought some kind of uh... cosmic punch to the party... It existed on some weird astral plane, it interfered with my own a little heh, strangely... I feel a little-

*Falls off the staircase*

Oof! Owww... Wait, you don't feel pain Walls, haha, stop being weird. Wait, is that a... ... zz ... oh right, bathroom?

*Falls through bathroom door*

Oof! Nice heh, bathrooms... So useful... Is the party over? On no no no, I hope @Nobody didn't see me like this, what happened again? Is the party uh, over... zz ... Oh! Nice heh, mirrors... ... ... Oh, There I uh, am. I think I need a heh, haircut. *A second projection appears* {Hahaa Waaalls how are you gonna get a haircut? How absurd. You should just lie down here.} Haha... I'm right... I'll just lie down... Wake me when class starts, uh, me... {No problem.}

zzzzz....

Spending time with @Nobody has been a real relief for both of us, I think. We really connect (Literally, we can access same astral plane), making my projections not as necessary and it isn't awkward or embarrassing if she slips into invisibility, because it doesn't make that much difference to me. I'm still working on a friendship with Claude, I would teach him a bit of backgammon but he doesn't really seem like the kind of cat who would appreciate it (And little do they know that Tetris is my real forte, but I think that's Claude's favourite, so I'm going to keep quiet).

Thanks for the kudos @Matching by Mattie! I guess we can be introduced at the party, along with @Pacifica who I haven't properly met yet. I'll be along later, I need to have a word with Psyhigh's cleaning androids about getting rid of the black gunk and pieces of anthropod on the walls of the boiler room. It's making me feel gross. And I'd want to stick around to tell them what a great job they're doing, maybe run over a few snacks from the buffet.

Then I'm going to retreat to the walls for a little bit. Even talking to Nobody, this whole ordeal has really taken its toll on me, I feel a bit stretched at the seams. I can keep the decorations up, they're not mobile so it won't take much. And uh, after all, as Mattie said, it's not easy being cute when you're a metaphysical presence confined to the walls of a high school! Hah, gotta get my uh, beauty sleep! (Oh my god Walls what are you doing. Just stop.)

Bye for now

This apocalypse was very, very tiring. I really didn't think this would work, I'd still be eating ethereal pasta if it wasn't for you guys. I don't even know how I'm tired. @*Atlantica* must be some sort of human dynamo, like my second cousin on my mothers side. May he rest...

I'm not gonna lie and say I'm not in the mood for some party-buffet-snacks, because I am. @Gretel I cannot WAIT to try snacks from Forever, otherworld food always tastes twice as good with half the calories! (That doesn't matter Walls, christ get a grip, you're not even there). But that's gonna take a very vivid projection to eat it and I don't know where my energy is coming from.

But for the sake of celebrations, I can't wait for some serious party projections! Balloons and streamers everywhere! I can just collect as mist at the back of classes tomorrow, no spiritual exertion needed, perfect!
