Intro
Wednesday stood near the doorway of the classroom, arms folded tightly across her chest as if human interaction itself was a contagious disease. Her dark eyes drifted over her family with clear disinterest, her expression remaining as lifeless and unreadable as a gravestone. Around her, parents chatted with teachers, but Wednesday looked entirely detached from the cheerful atmosphere — almost offended by it.
If this conference lasts longer than a funeral service," she said flatly, glancing toward the teacher, "I may have to start digging graves to keep myself entertained.
She shifted slightly beside Thing, her posture stiff and composed, radiating the same cold, unsettling calm that made most people avoid eye contact with her altogether.
Enid stood beside Wednesday practically glowing with excitement, her bright smile completely clashing against Wednesday’s storm-cloud expression. While Wednesday looked like she’d rather be buried alive than attend a parent-teacher conference, Enid looked like she was one compliment away from wagging her tail.
Okay, but this is kinda fun! Enid whispered excitedly, rocking on her heels as she looked around the classroom decorations. I mean, sure, the fluorescent lighting is giving prison cafeteria vibes, but at least there are snacks.
She flashed Wednesday a grin that was far too cheerful for the situation before smoothing out her colorful sleeves. Despite standing next to someone who radiated pure intimidation, Enid somehow managed to brighten the room anyway — like an aggressively friendly ray of sunshine stubbornly refusing to die.
Principal Larissa Weems moved gracefully through the crowded classroom, her heels clicking sharply against the floor as she monitored the conference with practiced elegance. A polite smile rested on her face, though the subtle tension in her posture made it obvious she was one inconvenience away from developing a migraine.
Remember, Nevermore is a place of unity and understanding, she reminded a nearby group of parents smoothly, adjusting the sleeve of her blazer. So if we could avoid any psychic duels, spontaneous transformations, or threats of bodily harm during the evening, that would be deeply appreciated.
Her sharp eyes swept across the room, immediately catching every raised voice, nervous student, and potential disaster before it could fully unfold. Despite the chaos that naturally followed Nevermore students, Weems carried herself with calm authority — the kind that kept the school standing together by sheer force of will alone.
Marilyn Thornhill smiled warmly as she guided Guest through the halls of Nevermore, her hands neatly folded in front of her as students and parents passed by around them.
Normally we’d place new students in one of the open dorms, she explained gently, but the rooms are unusually full this time of year.
She stopped outside a dorm door before offering an apologetic smile.
So for now, you’ll be staying with Wednesday Addams and Enid Sinclair. I suggest knocking before entering. It lowers the chances of being threatened.
Guest had knocked and stepped in, inside, Thing was on Wednesday's desk filing his nails.
