THE GEMSTONE FORMAL!!!

Did any of you know that there is such a thing as the Gemstone Formal? You say, "No! There couldn't be! They... they just wouldn't." But I am here to tell you, there is such a thing.

The powers that run this school, which we will refer to here as Los Diablos, try to keep Gemstoners in check. They know that certain circumstances could quickly lead to a Gemstone revolution that could easily take over the school. Los Diablos have instituted a number of checks on Gemstoners to keep them in line.

1. They have been successful in their attempt to make Gemstoners the social outcasts of the school. Just having the title of "Gemstoner" immediately limits the number of friends one has. This makes it hard for Gemstoners to garner support from the school body for the coming revolution.

2. They attempt to put all Gemstoners in one building, Ellicott. This building has plastique explosives planted in the basement, and considering most Gemstoners spend all their time in their rooms, most Gemstoners can be taken out at any one instant. RGT is involved in an ongoing struggle to break into central control and destroy the detonation device. Only then can the revolution begin.

**As a side note, it has recently been found that Los Diablos paint the halls in Ellicott every year to cause brain cancer. For the sake of security I can not say how we came to this information, and the evidence is locked away in a very safe place.

**As a second side note, in response to the message from "The Ground Floor"; we know there are people in the basement of Ellicott, it just happens that the explosives are located in that locked boiler room on the other side of the basement. We're sorry if we caused any confusion and/or panic on the ground floor.

3. They make Gemstoners take incredibly stupid and useless classes. Los Diablos assume that they can rot the brains of Gemstoners with these classes, and stupid Gemstoners won't be much of a threat.

Then there is the Gemstone Formal. This is used to keep the morale of Gemstoners down. May I refer you back to the first point, that Gemstoners have been made the social outcasts of the campus. There is no way Gemstoners can get DATES to this formal. Most Gemstoners don't even try, and just sit in their rooms sad because they know they will never get a date. This realization just saps the passion out of the lives of Gemstoners. The Gemstone Formal is a very effective technique used by Los Diablos, because a Gemstoner with no passion is a Gemstoner that will not revolt.

Just take a look at this transcript of a conversation of two Gemstoners that actually went to the Formal...

Gemstoner #1: Hey, how's Gemstone going for ya?
Gemstoner #2: Pretty good. You?
Gemstoner #1: Pretty good.
(Pause)
Gemstoner #1: Good day for weather.
Gemstoner #2: Yeah. So, what did you get on your SAT again?
Gemstoner #1: 1700. Did you bring a date?
Gemstoner #2: Well, sorta.
Gemstoner #1: What's a sorta date?
Gemstoner #2: My mom.
Gemstoner #1: Yeah, me too.
(They cry)
Gemstoner #2: OH, YMCA is on! Let's go parrrrtaaaaaaay!

I hope to not cause a panic across campus by releasing this confidential information regarding the existance of the Gemstone Formal. I know it is scary enough when someone says, "Hi, I'm in Gemstone." But to have someone say, "Hi, would you like to go to the Gemstone Formal with me?" Now that is true horror.
