Room 528, Monday Morning

[icecoldfrost]

Emma had skipped last night's party, since she had no reason whatsoever to deal with a bunch of teachers and other adults in her spare time. Besides, she had plans to be out late tonight, and had needed her beauty sleep.

Right now she was curled up on her bed, happily ensconced in her AP Algebra textbook as she worked on her correspondence class final. Mmmm...math.


[OOC: For a ginger, but door & post are open before that!]

"Why can't I just pretend it was all just some stupid Fandom thing?" Karla grumbled, avoiding Emma's eyes. "It's not like the island hasn't played stupid pranks like that before."

It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't feel so damned horrible about it.

[icecoldfrost]

"Because you would feel guilty and horrible?" she pointed out, going back to gently stroking Karla's hair. "You don't have to do an epic poem with dramatic reenactment. Just tell him you got gremlin-bit, and in the chaos, some love potion got into the general population. You're sorry and you're hideously embarrassed and did you mention you were sorry?"

"Just... be prepared to be understanding if no one wants to eat any pastries you've touched for awhile."

[glacial_queen]

"No I wouldn't!" Karla protested. "I'd feel happy that no one else knows it was me!"

Only to sag back down, shoulders slumping. "Except for that not really part. Stupid morals. I wish you weren't right right now. I really do."

She sniffled a bit. "And I was getting better at baking, too!"

[icecoldfrost]

"You can still practice baking, you'll just have to wait and feed it to your cousin instead of us," Emma laughed. "Darling, I was egging Jack on, and he's not miffed at me. People might be a wee bit put-out at first, but it will be fine. It wasn't really your fault."

"You don't think they'll stay mad at me then?" Karla asked, looking up at Emma through her lashes. "That's what I'm worried about the most."

[icecoldfrost]

"If they do, then they're not worth having as friends," Emma promised. "You were out of your mind, and that is that."

"And if they want evidence, you can point out that you thought you loved me, and therefore definitely crazy."

[glacial_queen]

"And so we come full circle," Karla said with a small laugh. "Though--what do I do if they don't accept that as evidence either?"

*I can always point out I suffered more than anyone,* Karla sent wryly. *The number of people I professed to love is staggering. They only acted like idiots in front of a few people. I practically put on a show for the entire school.*
