bad prefect meeting

[Warded to Student Authority]
Hey. So thank you, for all coming together so quickly and well last night. You all remind me that if [...] something else unthinkable was to happen, we'd come out ahead.

As far as our twinkly plague.
Do we think that we need a further plan for keeping people safe other than doubling down on the buddy system? That's the easy fix, but I worry that two people could get sucked in just as easily.
Maybe sunglasses.

We'll roll the sunglasses into sockdals. Make it a months long event.

Echoing Ferdie to say thank you to everyone for mobilizing so quickly and keeping a level head in that situation.

A lot more realistic than my other idea, which was dusk curfew.
heyitsnia: (🎶 oh no)

Let me get some riot gear, first.

Sunglasses? For fuck's sake. This isn't a joke, Ayers. And that isn't going to help.

Delgado was by herself last night, wasn't she?

Then fucking act like Good.

[...]

Think you can convince them to enforce that?

What if we like ran strings between trees so people would like trip if they wandered off the trail. Since they're like zoned out or whatever.
heyitsnia: (🎶 look to the future)

Student Authority

[personal profile] heyitsnia 2018-04-25 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
That's [...] not a bad idea. Maybe not tripping entranced students, but maybe between the faculty and the aurors they could set up some sort of proximity alarm system along the paths and tree lines? Might discourage people from wandering off, in general.
cygninae: (☆ 077)

Student Authority

[personal profile] cygninae 2018-04-25 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? I don't know those spells but I'm not an auror or teacher.
heyitsnia: (🎶 i don't know...)

Student Authority

[personal profile] heyitsnia 2018-04-25 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I'm not really a Charms mastermind, either, but something like what they have for the cliff, but maybe sized up to go off for anything larger than our smallest students.
cygninae: (☆ 076)

Student Authority

[personal profile] cygninae 2018-04-25 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah didn't they do that to the main trail to the Grotto for a while last year?
heyitsnia: (🎶 thinking real hard about this)

Student Authority

[personal profile] heyitsnia 2018-04-25 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, before intrepid students found Ribbonfin's alternate path. Honestly, they might be thrilled with the idea. Keep us away from whatever the hell they're do the mimic problem.
casperkim: (:| 08)

Student Authority

[personal profile] casperkim 2018-04-25 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Tripping is better than the alternative. Given how unreliable wards and everything else have been lately, a low-tech backup might not be the worst option.

Placed carefully, yes. A broken leg is better than [...] the alternative.

Set the standards and we'll follow them.
browbeats: ((=) arms crossed)

Student Authority

[personal profile] browbeats 2018-04-25 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, considering there's rumors of hidebehinds and hinkypunks around, I'm not putting a lot of faith in the infallibility of protective wards no matter who puts them up.
opuntia: (a little shy)

Student Authority

[personal profile] opuntia 2018-04-25 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
We could grow some thick hedges along the edges of some parts of the trail, too. Make it hard to wander off in general.
casperkim: (:| 36)

Student Authority

[personal profile] casperkim 2018-04-25 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
It's a lot of ground to cover but [...] possibly. For a few feet in just off the trails.
cygninae: (☆ 012)

Student Authority

[personal profile] cygninae 2018-04-25 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah like around Ebonhide where the forest's right there.
casperkim: (:( 07)

Student Authority

[personal profile] casperkim 2018-04-25 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[...] Yes.

Have we heard of any other sightings so far?
wholegrain: ((?) huh??)

Student Authority

[personal profile] wholegrain 2018-04-25 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
are we allowed to decorate the woods??
cygninae: (☆ 009)

Student Authority

[personal profile] cygninae 2018-04-25 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. Is that littering.
wholegrain: ((=) huhh)

Student Authority

[personal profile] wholegrain 2018-04-25 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
probably not if you keep track of it
should we send a note to brother to make sure?
cygninae: (☆ 036)

Student Authority

[personal profile] cygninae 2018-04-25 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah that can't hurt. Just in case.
wholegrain: ((*) dress up)

Student Authority

[personal profile] wholegrain 2018-04-25 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
i can make him a friendship bracelet too
if that'll make him more amenable

What is the best way to contact our enigmatic host?
wholegrain: ((+) still thinking positive)

Student Authority

[personal profile] wholegrain 2018-04-25 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
ummmm
i've never met him but i'm sure littering would get his attention right away
cygninae: (☆ 070)

Student Authority

[personal profile] cygninae 2018-04-25 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ok.

Think we can offer to give house points if people help? I don't want to do this myself it sounds boring.
opuntia: (im just telling you)

Student Authority

[personal profile] opuntia 2018-04-25 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we need to pair responsible people with [...] less responsible people.
Edited 2018-04-25 00:38 (UTC)
opuntia: (not buying it)

Student Authority

[personal profile] opuntia 2018-04-25 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
People will complain about almost anything. It doesn't need to be always, maybe just in the evenings for now., if we want to do it.
browbeats: ((?) /what/)

Student Authority

[personal profile] browbeats 2018-04-25 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
Someone will always balk at the buddy system and ditch their responsible companion, and that will be the person to wander off the trail. Even I barely use the bud I don't have a lot of faith in trusting people to help themselves right now.
