*The newest network post appears to be on looseleaf, with the margins decorated with stylized crosses, swirls, and a doodle of some kind of mysterious blob monster eating a stick figure helpfully labelled as an LCA chem teacher. The notes on it are as follows.*

(keep out!)

Darkest Shadow
When I walk to the edge of the world, I see
all over that the universe is a bright and dark thing,
like Mercury ^{(is it Mercury? whichever planet is only really hot on one side and really cold on the other because of the sun. I believe it is Mercury. Check later.)}
like Mercury or a magnet or a heater that doesn't work.
And in the darkest side, the half,
you have the lonely shriveled plants
no petals
just thors thorns and thistles.
All bear their misery lonely,
believing that love is a lie
a trick of the nonexistent light
as they are crushed
under the weight mass.


*Underneath she's drawn a stick figure flailing for help under a pile of textbooks.*

Note to self. Go to mall later. Think they got new CDs in.

My name is Tessa Hart... and my class notes talking to me is getting sort of scary.

[originaloddcouple]

Well, you just have to-

[originaloddcouple]

I'm... not sure actually.

How were we doing it before...?

[stavros]

Oh, I didn't mean to bother you.

[originaloddcouple]

Oh, it's no trouble at all!

Don't worry about it!

It's just... puzzling.

[stavros]

This is at least more interesting than class.
