You all are trying my patience. Why do you have to struggle SO MUCH? Everytime I turn around one of you undoes all my hard work! It's like we're playing some twisted game of freeze tag! Quit it! You can't win, I'm the one in control here!

As long as I have Matthew's disgusting descendant to possess, you can't get rid of me! See, that's what makes my plan foolproof this time. @Pacifica thought she was soooooo clever digging up my past. But she never did understand how I was all over history, did she? Ha! You foolish child! You don't see just how great my powers are! Being trapped in an empty dimension all by yourself for eternity gives one lots of time to fine tune their powers! I've been jumping out of Forever Diner, trying to escape, for EONS. Unfortunately, my body is tied to my dimension. My time allowed to be spent outside of the diner is very short. But now that I've learned how to possess bodies *waves around arms in excitement* I can stay here as long as I want!

Morris told me where you are all hiding. I will come for you. I just need to set up some reinforcements. Luckily, my enchantments on @Walls should be ready soo- *sees Nobody and Atlantica had removed all the paint*

NO! YOU PAY FOR THIS! PSYHIGH MUST PAY FOR THIS! *sound of violent spazz attack is heard, accompanied with lots of swearing* When I control you all you will regret all your meddling you fools. But for now… I need an inside man. I need somebody to corrupt, to distract you all from my preparations.
…
*voice turns sweet and gentle again*. @Morris, do you remember my powers? Of course you do dear, you read all about me! Such a bright young man you are. So you know I can bend reality. I'm quite good at it. Just look at my beautiful daughter Eralonia. I brought her to life from a few shake glasses I smashed in a wild angered frenzy. So, honey, you do me a teeny tiny favor, and I do you a teeny tiny favor. Just think about it dear. You do a little sabotage work, I give you something you've yearned for since you met your pretty little girlfriend.

Yes, Morris. You know what I'm offering you here. I can bring you back to life.

It's time that I drop my facade. I'd like to believe I had you all fooled for a while. Do you know how long it took to possess one of you Psyhigh students? I've been trying to do this even before the EBIB Incident! But many of you have natural locks on your brains, or something special that keeps you safe from possession by mean old people. Mean old people like Fortuna Atrox. Luckily for me, I found this one. *looks thoughtfully into a mirror and studies Mattie's face* She's not very bright you know. Very weak mind. And her constant use of subliminal messages made her head like a giant satellite. It was easy for her to send out information, and easy to take it in. Not to mention, it's always easier to possess somebody who shares genetic information with you. *twirls a strand of limp hair absent mindedly*

I had a younger sister once. Her name was Jania. After I got sucked into Forever Diner, she cried and cried for days. She wasn't psychic, but she knew what had happened to me at my "mysterious school". One of the TV's liked to show me images of her. For the longest time, she tried to save me. She appealed to the Time Team, the Interdimensional League, the Demonic Powers Administration... but none of them would save me. I never gave up on Jania though. And she never gave up on me. We knew that eventually there would be a way to save me.

Then, she met my boyfriend. Matthew Darling. *a look of pure hatred is reflected in the mirror* They both forgot about me within the week. Some years later, they married and had a son. They named him Forrest, as a way of honoring me. *maniacal laughter* WHAT AN HONOR! My traitorous sister and heartless ex-boyfriend named their sickly progeny after me! How could I eeeveeeer thank them? *gives a sideways glance to the mirror* This stupid little girl... she even looks like Matthew. No wonder they named her after him. She'd been very helpful lately though. Ava was such an obedient little mite thanks to those subliminal messages. Too bad those tin foil hats set her and @*Atlantica* free. I'll have to rely on my other assets now, I believe. *turns around to look at a closet where @Nobody is locked inside* Tsk, tsk, tsk. You really put up a good struggle my dear. Without you, this whole school would be toppled by now.

I don't even care about enslaving the entire school anymore. I can see that plan is no longer possible. Thanks to you, of course. *kicks Nobody's closet* But that doesn't mean I won't carry out my main goal. Even as we speak, preparations for my project are on going. And I can assure you, if Ms. Hoffenburger was still alive I would DEFINITELY get an A on this assignment! *sad laugh* But first, I need to make sure my favorite being in the entire universe is safe. If something happened to her... I'd never forgive myself. I need to get my daughter back. With her gone... it's like there's an empty hole in my heart and soul! *dramatic pose* Oh Eralonia, I've been watching you grow. You can walk now! All by yourself! And your fashion sense is impeccable! You can't imagine how proud I am of you! So I'm going to find you and tell you in person. And I know just who to ask about your whereabouts.

Have a good time in the closet Nobody! I'm off to pay a visit to my daughter's good friend @Morris. I understand that he'll be THRILLED to see me. *maniacal laughter returns*

Aaaaaaava honey! Where did you go, dear? Aaaaaaaaaaava! Oh! Silly me, you're still in the closet, where I store all my other supplies! *opens closet door* *Ava falls out face-first* Ah. How... precious. Stand up darling, there you go. Did you hurt yourself? No? Good, good! Here, take a seat. Get nice and comfy. Now tell me how it all went! Did the students enjoy their quilts? We spent so long on them and put so much... love ...into them I'm blushing with excitement to hear how they all reacted!

*Ava is heard replying in a dazed voice*
What do you mean half the school is empty? Wh... Where did they all go?
*Ava mutters uneasily*

I SAID, WHERE ARE THEY?!?!? They... THEY CAN'T ESCAPE ME! I'VE WASTED TOO MUCH OF MY RESOURCES ON THIS PROJECT, THEY WON'T ESCAPE ME! I WILL FIND THEM! I WILL!

*Sound of chairs, "Matching by Mattie" books, and other items being thrown*
...
...Calm... Calm... Deep breaths... *sits down next to Ava* I'm sorry dear. I'm truly sorry. I didn't mean to lose my temper. It's just... *sigh* I've got big plans in motion. Half the school would be nice, but there are some students that need some special attention. And I have a WRETCHED feeling that those special, special darlings are going to be amongst those missing. Oh, I'm getting too old for this.

*Walks over window and looks out*

Alright. We haven't failed yet my magnificently mindless drone. I didn't spend years expanding my powers to be stopped by a droll game of hide-and-seek. Let's see. You... you should go and continue passing out our gifts. Make sure that nobody Nobody didn't cause sweet little Walls any disturbance in his sleep. I'm going to continue moving my plan forward. *Ava, still speaking as if in a stupor, asks something* No, I can't find where those cowards are hiding. They've gone somewhere even my Forever Diner TV's can't see. But I know somebody who can find them. Somebody these students won't be able to turn away. Siblings who are so close are said to have a telepathic-like link you know. *gentle laugh*

When you're all done with your chores Ava honey, do put yourself back in the closet. I may not be home for a while tonight. I need to go wake Atlantica from her naptime.

Good afternoon to you all. This unfortunate heat is persisting in its troublesomeness it seems, travel to and from the school has almost completely stopped! Guess there's NO ESCAPING school grounds or the weather now. What. A. Shame.

But there's no reason to worry about that, now is there? We just have to focus, and push on, and ignore all the bad or disturbing things we hear are going on around school. That's ot to say I'm not worried about poor, poor @Morris. The poor, suffering dear. I'm actually making a quilt for him right now in hopes it will bring him some small comfort. See, this is a very special quilt. Besides some... other things it also brings the surrounding air to the optimum temperature for your body. Perfect for the current state of the weather! I don't know if Morris sleeps... or if he can even use a quilt... but maybe @Scilph can use it if he can't. I made a pretty little blankey just like this one for @*Atlantica* and I heard that she is absolutely loving it! Hopefully Scilph and Morris will too.

I'm also a little concerned about dear, dear, @Nobody. She hasn't come back to our dorm in what feels like DAYS! I do hope she isn't in any danger. Wherever she is hiding, she should really be a good little girl and come out. I left a quilt for her on her bed as a "welcome back" gift. I've really been into quilt making recently. The process of making/enchanting them is so calming.

My plan is to make enough for everyone in Psyhigh. With this unpredictable and INESCAPABLE weather, it may become necessary for everyone to have one of these quilts. It's only amatter of time before YOU get one I'm sure. I'll toil day and night with my lovely friend Ava to make sure there are enough quilts for everyone. Stop by whenever to pick one up. They are free, tempature optimizing, and nightmare proof! Perfectly perfect I'd say. Right, Ava dear? *Ava replies in a dazed and submissive voice* See? Our goal is your mind Psyhigh. Your piece of mind. *Ava mumbles something distractedly* No, honey. I don't believe I spelt it wrong. Come, let's get back to work. @Morris (and probably @Walls too) need some nice security blankets.

Good morning everyone. I hope you had a nice night of sleep. Say what you want about the erratic weather patterns recently, but it's much easier to drift off in the cold under quilts rather than in the roaring heat under a loud A/C system! *gentle laugh*

Now I know a lot of you were looking forward to... *frustrated sigh* What was it called again, dear? *Ava's uncertain voice is heard talking to Mattie* Ah, yes, thank you. No, no, please take a seat! I'll be finished with this in just a moment. Please, make yourself comfortable. Back on topic, I've had to cancel Customer Growing Club permanently. It seemed a bit unethical, and I couldn't abide by it. How terrible would it be if the little people in our universes discovered they exist only for our casual hobby? Oh, tears prick my eyes just imagining their distress! If you all are desperate for something to take your mind off the weather or an activity for the summer, please stop by my dorm room for an replacement event. The wonderful miss Ava and myself I have a list of lovely alternate projects that will be benefical to you and the community! There's prayer shawl making, and growing food for the poor, and painting murals to brighten up the school (don't worry @Walls. I picked out special hypoallergenic and non-flaking paints so you wouldn't be irrated, honey.) and so many other things. I myself will be participating in a project that came to me in a dream... Oh, I can't wait to get started! The dream told me -- um, that is, I decided -- to call it "Finding the Real You". Who wouldn't want the oppertunity to see beyond the screen and into their true soul? I'll let you know when the group is meeting, we'll have a grand old time I'm sure.

Wishing you pleasent dreams,

-Ms. Mattie Darling

*speaking slowly in a calm and gentle voice* Hello everybody. This is Ms. Mattie Darling again. It is lovely to see you. I hope you all are coping with this heat wave alright. If @Gretel's dreams are right again, things are going to be rough for a while. If we all work together though, I'm sure we'll make it through.

My wonderful friend @Scilph and her darling little cat Eralonia have visited and assisted me. After what felt like hours of torture and ripping away my very soul, we have removed the thick layers of melted make-up from my face. I no longer frighten myself when I catch a peek of my reflection in a mirror! Though it was rather disturbing to see just how much make-up was on my face. It took three bottles of remover to rid myself of it all. Scilph and Eralonia are truely saints to have helped me through this. I will have to write them Thank You cards, they were such dears. I sent them back to their dorm room after I calmed down, no need for me to take up more of their time! I really can be a little attention hog, don't you agree? *embarrassed giggle*

Looking at all my "Matching by Mattie" merchandise with my new, mascara and glitter-less eyes, I now see how greedy and petty this entire business is. I'm considering retiring. This way, I can focus more on my studies, my social connections, and the beauty of nature. Step One, the beauty of NATURAL AND UNFORCED love. Won't you join me on this journey?

Peace, Love, and Truth to you all,

-Ms. Mattie Darling

This is a message from magnificent Mattie:

Please help! I am in dire straits my friends. I need your assistance in this time of need. Ava is away on a field trip, Nobody is within the catacombs, and I am trapped in this godforsaken dorm room without any comfort of company.

Desperate action must be taken. My friends... I beg of you... please... send me some make-up remover. Please! I've... I've never used it before... but I can't go out looking like an old candle. And heaven knows my business/organization will completely sink without my steady hand at the wheel! (Oh, btw, Customer Growing Club is canceled until the weather is less deadly.) Anywhoooo, pleasepleasepleaseplease get me some make-up remover. I need to do this quick before I come to my senses. Hopefully it'll be like ripping off a Band-Aid. ...A Band-Aid I've had on since 6th grade. I'm warning you all now, there will be hysterics and screaming. I'll try to be my usual stoic self, but this is a BIG DEAL. Like, seriously guys.

Please, somebody help little old me! This is a disaster! A travesty! A rare oppertunity to see me make-upless! I'll send this message out and pray to the fashion gods that some lovely soul out there will help me....

Mattie Darling

(President/Founder of Matching by Mattie, President/Founder of Customer Growing Club, Member of Shopping Spree Society Third Class, and many other super important sounding titles)

Um. Hi. You look... decent today? And you are a... decent... fans....

*impatient scolding from Mattie* Well if you think I'm so bad at this, why don't you come over here and speak to your "foaming ocean of fans" yourself?!? *dramatic whining* Fine, whatever. I'll do it. Just STOP WHINING.

Hello, this is Ava, Mattie's reluctant friend and recently employed temporary representative. See, she is adamant that she speaks to her "loyal readers and lovely followers" regularly. However, she's too much of an annoying diva to do the job today. Do you know why? *desperate shout from Mattie* Hey, if you're making me do your post Drama Queen I'm going to say what I want! So, Mattie has been hiding in her closet all day because her mascara, eyeliner, eye brightener, and foundation are melting in this sudden and supernatural heat wave. "Take off the makeup then," I told her. But she was all "Nooooo! I can't be without makeup! That's what the dorky and unfabulous people of the world do! I'd feel naked and... unpopular!" Seriously, I'm sorry for all you poor saps who ask her for love advice. You must be really desperate to come to HER. *indignant retort from Mattie* Oh, yes, you're much more superior than me Mattie. I can tell because you're hiding in a closet with a face that looks like a watercolor painting gone wrong. *closet door slams shut* Ah, don't worry about her. She's easier to deal with if you let her have her hissy fits. Though all those board games @Walls shoved in the closet flying at her when she first fled did not help her mood. (Don't tell her, but there's an impression on her forehead from one of the game peices. It makes her look really stupid. I love it.) I don't know why she can't post this though. It's not like you can see her through the screen. She probably just wants more attention or pity or peaceful time alone to meditate on the meaning of "love theory". Why am I even friends with her again?!?!

*Impatient demands again from closeted Mattie*
What? Seriously? Oh, you've GOT to be kidding me. Fine, fine, I'll make a "Love Tip". *frustrated mutter from closet* Omg, you're so picky! Fine, LOVE TIP, whatever!

LOVE TIP #1 (Ava Edition)

If you want a guy/girl/other to like you, follow none of Mattie's advice and avoid her at all costs. You'll live a long and happy life that way.

*angry yell as Mattie scrambles out of closet*

Nope! Too late! I'm posting this! And to make things better... HEY EVERYBODY! MATTIE DARLING JUST CAME OUT OF THE CLOSET!

With frustration and sarcasm,

-Ava
