This is a message for my special agent only. If you are not my special agent, all you will see is gibberish. Beginning message....

<Morris darling! Good work taking the strategist @Pacifica out of the picture! I knew you'd be helpful. Now, all you need to do is bring me my beloved daughter (preferably unharmed, but mistakes do happen) and I will honor my end of the deal. I know you have your doubts about my honesty, but don't you realize how similar we are? Both of us have tragic pasts. Betrayal by those we love. Episodes if mental instability. I see a bit of you in me. And I want to help. You still have hope Morris. You do not have to end up like me.

Eralonia has some of my power stored in her. Once we are reunited, my reality bending powers will be at maximum capacity. I can loop time around you from the week before your death, crisscross some dimensions, and do some other little parlor tricks to make you 75% alive again. It's not perfect, but it's better than death. Just finish the job Morris. Your friends will understand. And Scilph will be so happy to be able to hug her strong, rugged, and solid boyfriend. Don't fail me Morris, dear.>

Alright, that's all I have for my helpless victims today. My project is halfway finished, I cannot wait for you all to see it! I do hope you'll be impressed. I've worked so very hard on it all. If you would excuse me, I suddenly have a strange urge to play Explosive Scrabble. It sounds like a grand old time. Maybe I'll even get some spiked punch… that might help my headache. The stress of taking over a school and fulfilling my insane revenge wishes has me feeling like there's another person in this numbskull Mattie's brain! But that couldn't be. Such an idea... Why, if it were true I'd be bouncing off the @Walls with anger!

This is bad, this is really really bad. This is terrible! I..I- what was I talking about? I can't remember, I.... Wait, ok. I, I remember now. I think.

After my last entry, I snuck into my/Mattie's room to grab my special sprinkles; a jar given to me by someone who didn't really like me very much. I was only stopped from eating them by Claude, but I saved them in case in might need them. Like now. These sprinkles are infused with psychic energy, and permanently trap who ever eats them in the 57.8th dimension, a place where only souls can live; the body of whoever eats the sprinkles stays behind in this dimension. I thought that if I could trick Fortuna into eating them, Mattie would be de-possessed, and Fortuna couldn't re-possess her. Or even get back to Forever. But while I was grabbing the sprinkles, Fortuna came into the room, and...and it was horrid, and she was about to... and then... And then... @Walls appeared, and he... He possessed Fortuna who was possessing Mattie. Or... He possessed Mattie while being possessed by Fortuna? Or Fortuna is possessing both him AND Mattie?? I don't know!! But now Mattie's body is passed out on the floor, and I'm afraid to give Mattie/Walls/Fortuna the sprinkles in case it banishes both Fortuna AND Walls, or even all three of them!

All I can think to do is to go to the catacombs and make sure everyone's alright there, and maybe find someone who knows what they're doing and can make a real plan. But I don't know if I can even find my way without Claude! And I...I don't know where he is either! Maybe Fortuna's right, and this is all for nothing. We're all just going to-- *Nobody sees something out of the corner of her eye* Wait... Is that...? It's Mattie's Whisper Fly! Maybe... Maybe it will lead me to the catacombs? *whisper fly makes a buzzing sound and zooms out the door with Nobody following*

You know what's great about half the school being empty? There's plenty of room to skip!! *skips happily down corridors* I don't know where Claude went. I lost sight of him on our way to Cobalt's Cavern. I don't know where Paci is either. Or Nobody. Or Anybody! But that's okay, this will just make it even more special when we all meet up again!

I think I'll go try to find Claude again! I really miss all my besties that are missing from summer classes because they're hiding underground! Then again, most the classes are canceled due to the heat and impending doom! Before I delve back into the catacombs where I lost my pretty kitty guide though, I want to give @Matching by Mattie her make-up back. It's water, insect, fire, slime, glass, glare, envy, apathy, void, gravity, wind, and cat proof you know! It must've cost a fortune! Plus, it protects the wearer from possession! I don't know why, but I feel like that's important. Hm...

Here we are! Mattie's room, with the door ajar and Mattie passed out on the floor! Huh. It's so weird to see her without her makeup! But don't worry, I've got some right here! She's going to look so so so so pretty when she wakes up!!! *starts sloppily applying make-up while humming Justin Timberlake song*

*Mattie glows, and two wispy things leave her body*

*One wisp solidifies into a projection of @Walls*

*Mattie wakes up*

("LOVE TIP #657! Never leave the house without make-up on! Actually, never be without make-up ever! Because apparently super powered and insane aunts will possess you if you walk outside without lipgloss on! Ruh-DA!!!")

YAY! Mattie came back to play guys!

{Ugh... this is-- oi, my head-- *GASP*}

{I-I CAN BREATHE! I CAN FEEL! AHAHAHA! OH, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, WONDROUS! But-- wait... I'm still floating... and see-through...That's strange. Well, that doesn't matter now! I-I need to find Eralonia and Scilph and everyone else... let them know I'm okay... I feel like I should do something with Eralonia, but I don't know what. Anyways, I heard about the whole... re-possession de-possession thing. That's amazing so... does this mean I can't be forced to do anything by Fortuna?}

{AHAHA! EAT IT, YOU SCUM OF THE EARTH! I've gotta get to the others... for the first time, I can run! *sound of shoes hitting pavement* Oh, I feel the wind on my face, my hair blowing in the breeze, and I can feel my own hands! I can feel my breathing, it's wonderful...! *sniff* Ah--! I think-- I think I'm CRYING! REAL TEARS! Oh.... this is the best day of my life!}

{I will see you all soon, Psyhigh! And when you see me, I'll be a new ghostboy!}

*singing giddily*We're lost in the catacombs! La dee la dee dum! We've been down here for hours! Bum dee bum dee dum! ("Like, OMG, Atlantica, I appreciate the music but my head is still really fragile. Could, like, we like not sing for a while?") Okey dokey Mattie! I'll hum instead! *hums loudly* ("OMG. Kill me now.")

Sooooo yeah…. @Matching by Mattie and I have been wandering around here l

MATTIE! Stop it! I need to finish posting! Sorry about that besties. Anywho, we've been looking for our friends! Because we have no idea what's going on! I wonder if they're throwing a surprise party… Mattie keeps talking about a Tuna Lady being in her head and Morris being bad, but I think she just inhaled too much perfume again! ("I did not!" You did toooooo!) I found some paw prints in the dusty ground, so we are following them to (hopefully) where the surprise party is! Hey, I can see a decoration now! It looks like a scarecrow! ("Um, Attie, that's, like, you're sister") OH NO PACI!!!

*runs over to Pacifica and reboots her*

@Pacifica? Are you alright? ("Morris… betrayal… why…? System… lagging… make sure… Eralonia… is safe… catch up… later….")

Eralonia? Why would she be in danger? Mattie, do you know? ("Um.... I have a feeling there's a family reunion either at the school or Forever Diner. We need to, like, find the others. Especially Morris.")

YAY! More walking!

{I found everyone else. The reaction they had was not one I was expecting. Scilph is seriously freaking out... I can't tell if she's excited and happy or scared. I have Eralonia with me.. she keeps protesting, I don't know why.}

~P-PUT ME DOWN! Morris, I cannot tell if you are possessed, or-- wait a minute. I can feel your hands... Morris?! What happened?! Are you--- you're turning me in. I knew it! Wait, the transformation was supposed to occur AFTER I had met with Mo- Fortuna. *muttering* Maybe after Mattie had been de-possessed, there was a release of energy... which caused you to become partly-alive! Oooh, Eralonia, you are a genius!~

{What in the world are you talking about? I have a strange feeling I'm supposed to do something with you... but I don't know what.}

~Well, you can't do it now. I believe that Fortuna has returned to her own dimension.... she cannot exist in this one without a host to latch onto. She's like a virus...~

{Wait, you know what I was supposed to do?}

~You were going to bring me to Fortuna... but that cannot be accomplished now. She was going to give you a living body-- 75% living, at least. And it looks like she did it. Accidentally, of course. So, you have no more reason to bring me to her anyway. Now put me down.~

{...! I can feel pain! It hurts! AHAHAHA!}

~Morris?~

{THIS HURTS SO MUCH! HEE HEE HEE!}

~I am going to make him lie down. Everyone should probably remain in the shelter... and be on our guard. You may never know who will be possessed next.~

Greetings Psyhigh peers old and new! Mattie Darling is back, both in mentality and in business!

I am so totally sorry about that Fortuna possessing me. It, like, totally threw off my entire life! However, both "Matching by Mattie" and Customer Growing Club will be returning to their original states before Tuesday. Shout out to @Omai Gott, the best Vice President EV-UH, for keeping the CGC going! And apologies to everone I temporarily brainwashed into a worker drone! Tots not intentional, my powers of subliminal messaging are a blessing and a curse... but mostly a blessing.

The weather is returning back to normal THANK GOODNESS, and I can finally reapply my three-hours worth of make-up without fear of it melting. And as we all know, appearances are everything. Your personality counts for, like, nothing if you don't have perfectly applied make-up. (oooo... that sounds like a good LOVE TIP....) If the lawn is no longer on fire from the unbearable heat and @Pineapple Head's firework show, I will for sure be out there for the Customer Growing Club. I hope you'll all join me there, we are, like, totally ready to start putting life forms in our scale model pocket universes! And to any potential new members: the pocket universes we are manipulating come in teal, cobalt, maroon, sugar pink, and psychedelic. A color to match ANY outfit!

My "Matching by Mattie" classroom is, like, totally wrecked from Great-Aunt Fortuna's hissy fits, so we won't be open today as we fix up and clean up. And by "we" I mean Ava and @*Atlantica*. I mean, I've been through a totally traumatic event! I'm much much much too fragile to do such manual and dirty labor! Besides, Atlantica enjoys it. *sound of Atlantica yelling and giggling* Sure, go ahead and mop the floor again. You go girl! Cleaning is your true calling!

When "Matching by Mattie" does re-open, please feel free to stop by classroom 375 from any time between 3:30 - 5:30 pm for our "HOORAY I AM NO LONGER POSSESSED!" sale! 75% off all LOVE TIPS, relationship consultations, subliminal messages sent to your crush, "Lovesick Soda", all of my critically acclaimed books, and all other "Matching by Mattie" merchandise! Remember, if you need help in the love department, or if your relationship needs urgent treatment, come to Dr. Mattie Darling for the most professional insight in all 94 medical fields of love on this side of the prime meridian! We're the only match-making business on campus, so that means we're the best! *Ava makes a sarcastic comment* OMG, seriously Ava, you are like, the only person unimpressed by me. Don't you have a mentally scarring closet to throw out? Seriously, stop slacking you lazy butt! There's work to be done! Stop distracting me, I'm trying to supervise while eating Atlantica's celebratory pastries. Multi-tasking is, like, sooooo hard.

With love,

-Mattie

~Hello, this is Eralonia speaking. Morris is currently... gone... right now. He is off eating, sleeping, feeling, and doing who-knows-what. He is so thrilled for everything to come back.. as is Scilph. She jumps for joy whenever they hold hands. It is precious.~

~Now that Fortuna is gone-- hopefully for awhile-- things are a bit more peaceful. I watched the fireworks from our dorm's windowsill with all my dolls, Blackie, and Claude. They seemed to enjoy it, especially Blackie. He was jumping around and grunting and just acting like a dog. The Fourth of July is definitely an exciting endeavor. Who doesn't like watching things explode?~

~Speaking of Fortuna and family ties, apparently I am... Mattie's... cousin? That is confusing. But, I guess, it is nice to know. In a way. I am related to... Mattie. Alright. Just... just please don't bother me, Mattie. We are not technically related by blood, right? Technically... *gulp*~

~Ah, my voice is faltering. I had better restock on Speech potion... which is now just for me, as Morris no longer uses it. He doesn't need to. Before I leave, I would like to welcome the new students in school. Reading the Journal entries really explained why there was a person with... the head of a pineapple walking about. That's nice to know. Sayanora, 'till later.~
