Sitting down on the floor of the library, tucked to the side away from the crowd, Felix was busy munching through a family-sized bag of pretzels that he had brought to the party himself, just in case he needed a snack. His mouth was dry as he chewed, the result of smoking just a little too much before he arrived, dazedly watching student drunkenly cavort and dance. “Ow!” He yelped out, snatching his hand away from the ground as someone’s shoe drug into his, looking wounded as he gazed up at them. “I nearly just lost my pinky finger. And that’s my favorite,” he complained, putting the pretzels down, scrambling to his feet. He stuck another joint in his mouth, throwing them a sloppy grin. “Any chance you’ve got a light for me? I’m just a poor village boy.”

DELILAH ASTOR AS THE WHITE QUEEN: yates in wonderland.

ft. lips dark as dried blood, a jitter in her limbs like a dead thing come to life, tiny frosted roses pinning tendrils of hair, a midi slip dress with a slit up the side & glitter dusting her collarbones like the sleet of a fine snow.

WHY IS A RAVEN LIKE A WRITING DESK?

“𝘐𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘣𝘪𝘵, 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯.”

At the witching hour––give or take a few minutes, of course, because not a single Yates student has ever been on time––there’s a knock at your door. You open it, still semi-conscious, to find... a teacup?  No––there’s something under the teacup too: a photocopied collection of three polaroids. The first picture, crinkled at the corners, is of a raggedy top-hat, the second of a blue dress, and the third taken from the end of a long table littered with mismatched china. 

HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY, YATES. YOU’RE ALREADY LATE. 

WHAT: Winthrop is hosting the first-ever YATES IN WONDERLAND CELEBRATION, and the party planning committee has already gone mad! Alderidge library is unrecognizable, decked to the nines with ribbons, fake foliage, and fine china in peculiar places. A few freshman heard a rumor, too, that a man dressed in rabbit suit was seen wandering around campus, asking those unlucky enough to cross paths with him, “Just how long is forever?”

WHERE: Alderidge Library, sometime after sunset. Like I said, you’re already late. 

WHEN: Friday, August 28th at 2 PM to Monday, August 31st at 5 PM. The discord event will occur Saturday. Ish.

Freshly manicured fingertips drummed absentmindedly against a plastic cup of something Sofia couldn’t actually pronounce, which she was sipping from slowly as someone sat down next to her. “If you decide to make a trip for refreshments... beware of the weird hairy guy hovering over the table. He tried to lift up my dress,” she warned without skipping a beat, brown eyes focused on the drink in her hand. Her face contorted in disgust at the memory. “I don’t know if he’ll actually try anything else tonight, though. I kicked him in the shin seconds after his grabby hands reached for my ass. I just thought I should start warning people.”
