Jei

*accidental voice post* How did they--!?

*stands in the middle of the room he's been sharing with Vivi, holding a sheet of parchment -- and instinctively shies away as the very official-looking owl on the windowsill takes a swipe at him with one claw*

It was the owl I sent... someone was watching.... no, I'm not paying you -- go away!

*a few muffled noises come through the journal -- the owl has taken exception to Jei's ultimatum and swooped at him just as he whipped the top-sheet off his bed to shield himself; scraps of cloth fly everywhere and the letter floats down to the floorboards, its heading printed prominently in lavender ink... Wizarding Child Services: Notice of Default.*


[[The owl I didn't have a chance to post about was for Fiver, carrying a tiny box woven from sea grass and containing a small curly shell. Jei forgot to write a note to accompany it, but he's been tracked down all the same.

My classes start in another week, along with what will likely be a major hiatus for me and my characters, so this is the sound of plot threads quietly being tied up before that time. *eyedart*]]

This time I'm going on the train. There isn't anything to stop me. *toothy grin*

I am hiding putting away my journal until I reach my destination. That way they won't find it I will be able to use it later.

*large blot in the middle of the page as he tries to figure out how to say goodbye without sounding sappy*

..It will be interesting next year.


*has packed his small but heavy trunk and is trying to wrestle it down forty-five flights of stairs*
