| 2:13 am | 11; [Locked to Atronto Group] My my my, it sounds as though you lot got the luck of the draw, yes, indeed! Well done, well done! I do hope you're not causing any troubles for the Good Count, or my simpering cousin! I'd hate to have the Count think I taught you all poor manners now, no no no, not one bit! |

| 10:27 pm | 10; I want to make one thing perfectly clear now, at the onset of this atrocious holiday season: there will be no decorations of a yuletide sort within the walls of my Faculty! This gaudy, flashy, tacky holiday is nauseating enough, with all its cheerfulness and goodwill, without my senses being assaulted every which way I look! Unfortunately I cannot officially extend this mandate throughout the entire campus proper, but know that I have engineered some particularly festive beasties which are drawn to - and made ravenous by - the atrocious sound of Christmas carols. Play, sing or hum them at your peril. And just in case there was any ambiguity in my sentiment, let me say this to cement things quite nicely: BAH HUMBUG!!! |

| 4:51 pm | 09; Just an ickle little reminder, my lovelies! Tonight's the Full Moon, an event of particular significance for the Gothic Faculty! I'll remind those in my house that restraints are available in Dungeon #3 should you choose to use them, and to those of you who don't, The rest of you may want to lock your doors and bolt your windows this eve, just in case. Better safe than eviscerated, as they say! |

| 3:29 pm | 08; Hello my little monsters and spooky-spooks! The coming trimester draws near, which means it's time to give some thought to your class schedules! Now, I know many of you had just loads and loads of fun bringing little creepy crawly critters back to life in my last semester, and I do hope we can have a similarly good time in my next class! Some of you will be going out into the cold, unforgiving world after this trimester, so I'll be structuring my seminar to help equip you as necessary. If you wish to sign up for a place in Haunting, Lurking & Terrorizing: Negotiating Your Gothic Role in Modern Society, do sign up here! Even in today's seemingly progressive atmosphere, many Gothics still feel persecuted by modern society, and this will be an issue we explore in the coming trimester! We'll be learning how to embrace your Gothicness and deal with those who might persecute and marginalize. We will also be learning of many important roles and opportunities open to individuals of a Gothic persuasion within Neopolis' infrastructure and beyond! Our former Counselor Bob has even agreed to come in as a guest speaker, what fun! Don't waste time kiddies, sign up below! |

| 3:15 am | 07; Whoever has seen fit to exploit my recent generosity with access to the Gothic Tunnels, and who is still running about down there on little pesky vermin feetsies would do well to vacate immediately! My dungeons are a mess, my bats in a tizzy and Mittens has lost three limbs to what I can only presume is some exceptionally humourless idea of calimari!!! I say to you intruders that winged rats and giant cephalopods are scarcely the only items in my beastiary!!! I have other horrors to unleash, horrors to chill your very soul, and may whatever power you pray to have mercy if I'm forced to unleash them!!!!

| 2:36 am | 06; Me oh my, but I'm sure you're all just as disappointed as I am that all the excitement is over! Why, we haven't had a good little zombie uprising since 1993, and only a few dozen then! I shudder to think how boring your vacations must seem by comparison, knowing what thrills you'll be leaving behind! A few of you have asked me about poor Counselor Bob, who didn't stand much of a chance against the brain-hungry legion of undead! Allow me to put your pesky little curiosities at ease: our diligent therapist was quite thoroughly devoured during the onslaught! Oh yes, yes indeed, nibbled and gnawed and chewy chew chewed up to the last neuron! But don't you go shedding your big soft-hearted wibbly tears for our favourite encephalon just yet, for his tale has a silver lining to its ending! It would appear that Bob's gray matter had some accumulated influence from all that time being a little thinky feely blob in a jar, and his consciousness quite neatly took control of his ravenous assailant! I've spoken with Bob - who prefers Robert now that he's got a body to shuffle around in - and he's quite getting the hang of his new cadaver self! Unfortunately he's opted to put in his resignation, and will be moving to the city proper to begin a new career in Undead-American Relations. I do suspect the poor community will need his help after this little pickle! We'll be interviewing new candidates for the position of Campus Counselor during the break, and be sure to have someone quite capable to pick your juicy little brains upon your return! |

| 2:40 am | 05; Goodness, well, I do think this is the most marvelous idea for a dance! My congratulations to the planning committees for recognizing the diversity of cultural elements at play here in our city, and paying tribute to the Gothic walk of life! Very good, yes, very clever little planners you are! Know that the Gothic Faculty will be delighted, yes, very much so, to contribute any materials needed to ensure that this Thriller Night is most thrilling indeed! I've got plenty of wonderful, frightful, bone-chilling ideas for decor, food, and any other area that could use a proper Gothic touch! Don't be afraid to get in touch, you intrepid planners! |

| 2:27 pm | 04; ATTENTION STUDENTS IN GOTHIC SEMINAR: LIFE & UNDEATH: REDEFINING REANIMATION Well well well, I must say I've been quite proud of you lot thus far, yes indeed! You've all done quite splendidly in the theory portion of our seminar, and it delights me to announce we'll be moving on to a more hands on approach in the following weeks! Now, it had been my intention to provide materials as part of the curriculum, but our enterprising Mister Graves has inspired me to offer an alternative choice. Should anyone have any beloved little pets who have woefully found their way into the dank, dark ground in recent times (preferably no earlier than a year prior, for decomposition prior to that would require efforts far surpassing that of a beginner student) then they are welcome to be used as the subject of our upcoming reanimation assignment! For those who don't wish to exercise this more personalize option, I will be providing a selection of domestic cadavers as provided by The Vile Veterinarian's Emporium of Recycled Pets (the Vet being a personal friend of mine, you see, so as to ensure only the highest quality and freshest options in recently departed animals). Please let me know immediately if you'll be exhuming your own subject, or wish to have one provided! |

| 3:54 pm | 03; ATTENTION STUDENTS WITH HISTORICAL AFFLICTIONS In an effort to alleviate some of the strain on our woefully overworked medical staff, I'm lending a hand with the triage effort! Should any of you be suffering from classical ailments or diseases, or be affected by vermin Biblical or otherwise, please do see me anon for diagnosis. A brief spin on my I've been starving my jumbo leeches in anticipation, they're very excited to receive you! |

| 11:14 am | 02; Before all you mischievous little children go scampering off to your springtime bungalos and your resort vacations and your dreadful little hunting trips, I want to make it known that I'm fully aware that one or more of you out there seem to have spent the semester making a dirty little sport of hunting down my precious bat rats. You naughty, filthy, nasty little mischief-makers might have slide-slipped past my traps this time around, but rest assured, yes, be perfectly entirely confident that this behavior will not go unpunished! I've got ways, yes, so many ways, so many sharp and bubbling and shocking ways of nurturing a healthy regret for wrongdoing in my poor errant students, I do, I do. Keep this in mind over the following month my precious little wards, my princes of Moldova, my kings of Transylvania! Perhaps you will find next semester's batch quite such easy prey, hmm, something to look forward to, yes? |

| 1:16 pm | 01 - Second Semester Seminar; Congratulations to all my good little students who completed their exam for Gothic & Neo-Gothic History today! I know, yes, history can be some dreadfully boring stuff sometimes, all musty and dusty, even when it's about such exciting monstrous characters! I'm proud of my studious little study beasts, I am! I'm sure those (woefully) few of you who saw fit to sign up will do swimmingly, just swimmingly, and benefit from your newfound knowledge in the future. I decided my Dean Seminar for next semester will be a bit more of a treat - oh, I do spoil you so! Yes, I'm accepting registration for Life and Undeath: Redefining ReAnimation, an academic exploration of the practical and spiritual elements involved in post-death life! Oh, it will be just oodles of fun! Why, I have it on good authority that there just might be a guest lecture from a certain prominent undead figure from the Evil League of Evil, maybe, maybe so!

The Modern Prometheus: The Collected Journals of Dr. Victor Frankenstein. Lackington et al., 1831. - West, Herbert. It's Alive!: Adventures in ReAnimation. Miskatonic, 1921. - Alhazred, Abdul.

It promises to be frightful fun! |
