ROUGH NARRATIVE OF EVENTS PRE-FIRST SESSION

PREVIOUS YEARS

  • Ping goes to a different high school somewhere else.

END OF LAST YEAR

  • Abrielle finally tries to cast a spell on her abusive father, and SOMETHING HAPPENS and it works!
  • The very next day, Cole makes fun of Abrielle for having an abusive father. Cole decides to hex her and breaks into her locker, but Ophelia catches her. For some reason, Ophelia doesn't tell anybody, and Abrielle doesn't hex Cole after all. Cole has already forgotten the entire incident.
