Author's Note: Hello again, and welcome back to the Diary of Glynda Goodwitch! Now with 100% - well…. Maybe fifty percent… seventy-five at most really – more antics! Now set on the grand stage that is Beacon Academy! Oh and also a persistent casting gag that I'm not finished with yet… A thousand points to anyone who spots it! Except you – YES YOU, STEVEN – which incidentally probably isn't your name, and a completely ripped off joke besides, but oh well it was worth it… Ehem… anyway, on with the entry! And as always, feedback / suggestions are welcome.

Entry # 51: Age 17


Dear Diary,

And I thought Signal Academy was weird…

Having now spent a couple of weeks here at Beacon Academy, I can now state with absolute certainty that the net level of sanity in this school is, quite frankly, dangerously low… And no, surprisingly, it isn't all the fault of people that I know… That doesn't make it better, but at least I didn't bring all of the crazy with me when I came here…It was actually kind of weird how almost all the people I know wound up on teams composed exclusively of people I know – Siegfried, Qrow, Yin, and Duke; Me, Cinder, Summer, plus this Yona chick who seems perplexingly modest for someone with an aversion to ACTUAL CLOTHES; Alexander, Roman, Emmy – Hell, the only person on Team ARME I don't know is some psycho chick with an eye patch and a fascination with bombs! – I suppose there's Andreas and Chieri, but they seem to be running their teams just fine….

Unfortunately, the sheer level of antics and general ridiculousness at this school seems to be equal to {Base level of antics perpetuated by familiar faces * Number or additional crackpots enrolled in Beacon over / number of window remaining yet to be shattered on the campus}… Did I kill somebody in a past life? Because that's the only explanation I can come up with for being saddled with this constant migraine…

As a start, you would not believe the number of cosplay enthusiasts enrolled at this school… FIVE WHOLE FREAKING TEAMS OF THEM – FOR ONE SHOW! Don't believe me? Well let's see… there's Team MAMI, HMRA, SYKA, KYKO, and MDKA… and all four members of each dress as the same respective character… They're all really good actually – Not that I would care – nor indeed would I notice that one of the girls on Team HMRA's chest is too big – because I didn't – Really, I don't even know what the character's name is…

Where did I put that shovel…?

Anyway, less absurd in composition – if very unfortunately named – is the set consisting of Bartholomew Oobleck, Gull Bronzewing (who is a jerk, but at least he's not the biggest idiot I know), Owl Lark, and some pretty girl with mismatched eyes and a parasol – I think she's from Mistral – named Neo. Together, they form Team NOOB… It is a rather unfortunate name isn't it? Although I suppose it beats being on Teams SUCK, FAIL, WORM, MOOB, or PNSY…

So yes, the Antic-Wars – as the technical term has come to be known – have been immense… and Surprisingly, Team PNSY are nothing to sneeze at in the mischief department if nothing else thanks to this one Belladonna guy – his first name starts with a 'Y,' but hell if I can pronounce it. Let's see… Belladonna pranks Duke, who then trips Oobleck, who in turn splatters his coffee all over Eye-patch chick from Alexander's team and causing her to set off a laughing gas bomb in team SQYD's room in retribution, leading to Duke Winchester's defenestration because that was ultimately his fault, after which – in a wholly unrelated if no les ill-advise prank – that Thrush guy sends Andreas an anonymous letter calling him a 'Sissy' – Anonymous except for the fact that the idiot signed his name at the bottom of it – which naturally provoked a three-pronged response from Siegfried, Alexander, and Andreas himself, resulting in Thrush's present occupancy of a body-cast on Infirmary bed nineteen… Did I miss something…? Probably… there's in all likelihood been a half dozen new antics since I sat down to write this-

Ow…. And there goes Roman's Bowler hat…

Hunkering down and fortifying my Dorm room,

Glynda

P.S. Although I could totally school the ALL if I could get Yuko to prank for me… But I'd rather not consider what that would cost me… The pervert…

Hey! I'm not a pervert! I just get lonely…
