beep. boop. beep beep. beeeep.

Hello, Slytherin, can you hear us? Yeah? Alright, so we hope you're excited, because we sure are! We've been out of the office for quite some time now (have you missed us?). You may not believe it, but last summer, during our pool party, we were approached by a a mysterious pirate who secretly gave us a treasure map. That's right. We've been off, looking for glorious treasures: galleons, rubies, diamonds, gold, just about anything we could get our hands on with that map.

Tyler and I even dragged the rest of the SOUP staff into it as some sort of staff bonding experience. MAN was it an experience. For the most part, it was great! We got to sail the seven seas, go new places, and we may or may not have been successful in finding lots of gold. However, not everything went according to what we had planned. You see, we found out that Sara gets sea-sick quite easily. That wasn't pleasant at all, and we ended up docking more often for her - which you know, takes time away from treasure hunting. We also may not have agreed on who would get to be captain ... but we'll leave that issue alone.

However, now that we're back from treasure hunting, we have come to realize something. We're now hunting for some new SOUP members - both writers and someone to join the graphics & coding team. How exciting, right? We encourage everyone to go apply! You can check out the application, located in this issue of SOUP or you can head on over to this thread in the Slytherin Common Room.

We look forward to hearing from you!
