You are confused. Very confused. The moment Daphne and Abigail move into the gardening club’s greenhouse, they’re both yoinked away by a group of girls who all titter and giggle and give each other weird looks while holding their hands over their mouths. You want to follow them, but the president lady holds you and Charlotte back. “Let those two have their fun,” she says. “The shipping girls aren’t going to do anything more offensive than wave a fan at themselves and maybe spy on your…-

“Hey girls, hey Dreamer,” Charlotte says as she meets you and Abigail and Daphne in the corridor. Class finished some minutes ago, so you got to drop all of your culty activities for a few minutes and rejoin Abigail. She had asked you how things went, and when you told her that you had done good and then taken a nap she was so proud that she gave you a pat. Doing good things really did give good rewards! “You’re excited to see us,” Daphne says to Charlotte. The taller girl shrugs, her smile…

“Abigail,” you ask as you’re walking over to the Academy. You’re almost by the main gate already, and you can see a bunch of students all over, some of them walking in really silly ways, others laughing as they drink from big mugs. The party made it all the way here. “Hrm?” Abigail says. That’s one of those not-quite-a-words that means ‘yeah, go on,’ in mortal. “Is there a word for when a bunch of mortals all start doing things to help one person?” Abigail frowns a bit and seems to…

You don’t want to wake up. Waking up in the morning is just not the way things are meant to be. Everyone, mortal or otherwise, should get used to the idea that the perfect time to wake up is somewhere around night time. That way you can hop out of bed, eat a bunch, then jump right back in. But no, mortals are all busy bodies that want to do stuff right away because they know that they might die at any moment. Even Abigail, who will never die because dying is for other people, is up at the crack of dawn…

Abigail needed help getting up the steps, and even more help opening the door to your home. You’re a little worried when she flops onto the bed and goes right to sleep without so much as taking off her dirty travel clothes, so you do the nice and responsible thing and undress her and find a sleeping gown in her things for her to wear while sleeping (sleeping gowns are a kind of clothing you very much agree with). And then you watch Abigail as she snores, a bit of drool slipping out of the corner of her…

The waitress, who is one of those good people that brings food when you ask, brought two more bottles before the main course was even served. There’s only one left now and it’s halfway empty. You watch Daphne while you fork twirls around and around in a plate full of long stringy noodles (they’re like teeny tiny tentacles!) sometimes the twirling noodles grab onto a lump of tomato-covered meat and you like to imagine that the meatballs are tiny planets and that the noodles are some of your many…

By the time you and your friends are riding into the gates of Five Peaks the sky is putting on its night time colours and you know that sleep time is coming soon, you can feel it. The guards at the gate barely poke at the wagons and all the books and shiny loot you’re bringing back, not after Skinner shows the guard captain some papers. Your entire group enters Five Peaks with barely a squeak. “Are we going to bed after?” you ask Abigail. You, Abigail, Daphne and Charlotte all took over the same…

“We could check out the bookstore?” Daphne says as she looks about. The boring people that Skinner brought along are all packing up the wagons you came in and getting ready for the trip back home, but there’s still plenty of packing to do and it is kind of boring to watch. You would help, but Daphne told you to keep a ‘low profile’ and then Abigail explained what that meant. You shouldn’t tentacle things in front of just anybody unless Abigail (or one of your other friends) is in danger. You…
