If Bianca Barclay wins again this year, I will literally scratch my own eyes out!

What is the Poe Cup anyway?

Each dorm has to pick an Edgar Allan Poe short story for inspiration.

Ms. Thornhill's just ordered pizza. (Do you) Want to take a stab at being social?

I do like stabbing. The social part, not so much.

No worries. Just as long as you're at lakeside cheering us to victory on race day.

Or you can just glare uncomfortably. Whatever works for you.

She had a major allergic reaction, which means she is out of the Poe Cup, and I don't have a co-pilot.

How do you know?

You and I are going to take her down tomorrow.

Yeah, but mostly you're doing it because we're friends, right?

Tell me how she keeps winning.

The past two years, no other boat has made it across the lake and back without sinking.

Do you want to tell me what you two were up to all night?

OMG, you look purr-fect!

Ask again, and you'll be down to eight lives.

Each team must row across to Raven Island, pull a flag from Crackstone's Crypt, and hustle back without sinking or being sunk.

First team to cross the finish line with their flag wins the cup and bragging rights for a year.

1. What is the Poe Cup (origin, objectives, inspiration, rules)?
2. Yoko had an allergic reaction to garlic because she is vampire. What other things harm vampires?
3. Are you allergic to any food? Is it a minor allergy, or will you have a major allergic reaction?
4. Bianca has won the Poe Cup in the past because she sabotages the other boats. If you were in the Poe Cup, what would your strategy be?
5. Do you think Enid and Wednesday are friends now, or still just roommates?
6. Who is your best friend? How did you meet?
7. Using the Internet, can you figure out which Edgar Allan Poe short story is the inspiration for Enid's team? What is the story about?
