Ladies and lads, welcome to this week's edition of Weekly News Round-Up! I hope you've all had an ace week, we're gonna share some of our top moments...
Monday saw a bunch of us peeps, who opted to stay in school rather than go home, discussing some ideas for Sharah's new Shtory. We were just bouncing some ideas around, but I feel like we shouldn't give too much away right now. Exclusive first-hand information was revealed to the few of us that stuck around, so if you weren't there, you know now that you missed out. What I will say is that Sharah has confirmed that she now has at least 2 chapters completed, reassuring us all that good progress is being made. Watch this space for plenty more Shtory talk in the upcoming weeks.
On that same lunchtime, Wicks started off a discussion about the origins of Israfel, which we compared to the popular character os Israphel, and as the conversation went along, we ended up with a brand new character, Israphael. Make of that what you will ;p
We've been having a pretty busy time during the middle of the week, with The Voice of Reason and Master being involved in Academy taster days for first years. This included the opportunity to witness the Principal's inspirational speech, where the Academy was frequently referred to as 'The Land of Opportunity.' Well, indeed it is!
On Wednesday afternoon, Sharah, DisneyLoverMolly, Cap, Wicks and Master went into town. Cap needed some materials from the Witches shop, however Wednesday is apparently the only day in the week that they are closed in the afternoon, leaving us pondering to ourselves what in the world does the shopkeeper have to do so urgently on a Wednesday afternoon?? *grumbles moodily*
It wasn't all bad though, as we took a trip to the comic book shop, which is oh so conveniently on the opposite side of town [sarcasm detected], but nevertheless open. Master was most excited as she bough her first comic, The Wicked and the Divine, as recommended by Wicks. After making the purchase, the crew went to a nearby coffee shop to chill out, which included Wicks and Master eagerly reading their comics. All in all, a good afternoon was had by all.
Friday morning saw DisneyLoverMolly and Master battling it out in a 15x15 game of Squares. It was quite a long game, with the contestants initially not realising that they'd end up with a total of 225 squares between them. Overall, DLM scored 98, whilst Master won with 127. Both of them walked away with respect for each other and pride in the concentration, professionalism and strategic excellence showcased that morning. Here's a look at the area of gameplay:

Generally towards the end of this week, we've all been preparing for Messy Twister, whether it be physical or mental preparation. The match has been scheduled for next Monday (21st) afternoon and it seems that we are pretty much all set! Sharah has acquired a Twister set, Wicks found a load of paint, whilst we've decided that shower caps would be a good addition to our set of gear. As a final reminder to all participants, please remember to bring some old clothes (preferably light-coloured) and a spare change of clothing.
Until then, may the luck of the honey badger's claw/eagle's wing/platypus' tail (depending on which team you're in) be with you!
Let the challenge begin...
