Me: Hi everyone! So, sadly, the place I get these books from disappeared off the internet, and I had to do some more searching to find it again. If anything seems different or a little out of the ordinary, please let me know! I'm doing my best to adjust with it <33.
Fitz: Where did you even get these books from?
Me: ...the dark web...
Keefe: Ooooh- I don't what it is, but it sounds like my dream job
Linh: Actually, it's a-
Me: *Nervously* Haha, alright, we have a story to get to everyone. I should get out of here...
SOPHIE WAS STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT which of the strange gadgets from Della were school supplies when the chimes rang. Dex had arranged to meet her at Havenfield so she wouldn't have to arrive at Foxfire alone.
She laughed as she let him inside. "And I thought my uniform was bad."
She couldn't believe she had to be seen in a blue pleated skirt with black leggings and shirt-vest-cape combo. Dex's was worse, though. The blue lace-up jerkin over a black long-sleeved shirt and blue slacks with pockets at the ankles wasn't so bad. But the waist-length cape made him look like a really lame superhero—Captain Blueberry to the rescue!
Dex: Thank you, Sophie
Sophie: You're very welcome!
Dex: It was sarcasm.
Sophie: I am well aware <3
Keefe: All in favor of Dex's name being changed to Captain Blueberry until the end of the chapter?
Biana: Aye
Tam: Aye
Captain Blueberry: Why you too???
Tam: Because Biana did? Also I love chaos.
Captain Blueberry: I HATE YOU GUYS
Marella: It's okay, we love you too, Captain Blueberry.
"What's with the capes?" she asked.
"I know, they're stupid, right? But they're a sign of status, so we have to wear them."
"Capes?"
"Yeah, haven't you noticed that only the nobility have them? Foxfire is the only noble school—meaning you have to go there in order to be in the nobility—so we wear half capes to demonstrate that. At least next year we get rid of the wimpy halcyon." He pulled on the blue, jeweled bird that clasped the cape against his neck. "We'll be mastodons."
Fitz: Hey, Keefe's been unusually quiet. Where is he?
Ro: Is crying on the bathroom for screaming "Why am I not here yet?"
Captain Blueberry: He's just that insignificant, you know.
Marella: I applaud the fact that you are never letting go of your grudge.
Captain Blueberry: You're being really nice today, Marella, and it's scaring me.
Linh: I think she's just extra salty today.
Captain Blueberry: How... how does that work-
He laughed when he caught her confused expression. "Each grade level has a mascot. Level Two is a halcyon, these dumb birds that can sense when a storm is coming. But Level Three is a mastodon, so at the opening ceremonies on the first day of school we get to dress in these cool elephant costumes. Be glad you missed wearing the halcyon costume. We looked like idiots."
