Twelve hours, two write-ups: Thrale's undergarment, the gag-arrow, one offense from the Shoe

pivotal · ~12-15 Nov YDAU (reported)

• When: within Gately's first hospital days, ~12-15 Nov YDAU (relayed by Calvin Thrust at the bedside; the two offenses fall in one twelve-hour span, the gag-arrow "yesterday" relative to the report).
• What: Thrust's news dump to the mute, hospitalized Gately carries Minty's disciplinary cliff-edge. First: "Emil Minty got a Full House Restriction for getting observed removing one of Hester Thrale's undergarments from her bag on the porch, for reasons nobody much wants to speculate about" — Thrale herself having, per the same report, "disappeared sometime during the freakas and never came back" ("freakas" as printed). Second: "Johnette had to write up Minty and Diehl for putting one of those gag-arrows that are curved in the middle and look like there's an arrow through your head over the catatonic lady's paralyzed head yesterday and leaving her slumped by the TP like that all day." Net position: "so suddenly in twelve hours Minty's just one more offense away from getting the Shoe" — and the relay's editorial coda is that Thrust "is already personally shining the tip of his very sharpest shoe, in hopes." The two offenses bracket his range: the porch theft sordid and private, the gag-arrow cruel and theatrical.
