The gala doesn't know

texture · 8 Nov YDAU, evening

• When: 8 Nov YDAU, evening — the I.-Day supper/gala.
• What: Schtitt and Tavis return from off-campus presentations "too late to have been informed about the degenerative Eschaton free-for-all and serious Lord-, Ingersoll-, and Penn-injuries"; Avril sits on the news through the gala, and Tavis is "in far too festive a mood to notice three or four younger kids ominously absent from the supper and gala" — Lord among the absent.
