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.

Senior Sockdal Sunglass Day, promoting school safety.
Seems fair to me.

A lot more realistic than my other idea, which was dusk curfew.

I'm not ruling out dusk curfew.

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?

I'm aware. Thank you.
Yes, which shouldn't have happened. Last night wasn't exactly the time to bring it up, but now, we should definitely be making sure no one's leaving the lodge or the cabins without someone else.
I wonder if that could be part of the check-in point at the lodge.

~~Then fucking act like~~ Good.

[...]

Think you can convince them to enforce that?

They're supposed to be here for student safety. ~~If that's true~~ Hopefully it wouldn't take much convincing.

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.

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.

Yeah? I don't know those spells but I'm not an auror or teacher.

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.

Yeah didn't they do that to the main trail to the Grotto for a while last year?

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.

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.

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.

We could grow some thick hedges along the edges of some parts of the trail, too. Make it hard to wander off in general.

It's a lot of ground to cover but [...] possibly. For a few feet in just off the trails.

Yeah like around Ebonhide where the forest's right there.

[...] Yes.

Have we heard of any other sightings so far?

are we allowed to decorate the woods??

I don't know. Is that littering.

probably not if you keep track of it
should we send a note to brother to make sure?

Yeah that can't hurt. Just in case.

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?

ummmm
i've never met him but i'm sure littering would get his attention right away

Not if it has a purpose.

Ok.

Think we can offer to give house points if people help? I don't want to do this myself it sounds boring.

Yeah, of course. It's crunch time for the house cup, I bet people will take advantage.

Maybe we need to pair responsible people with [...] less responsible people.

Edited 2018-04-25 00:38 (UTC)

That could be done.
With mild to severe complaining about dictating who people spend time with, I'm sure.

Edited 2018-04-25 00:45 (UTC)

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.

I'm thinking if we could talk to the aurors at the front, we could have a list of people (probably us again, sorry) on call to be buddies. That's kind of two birds with a stone. It's definitely warranted, especially at night.

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.

Enter a plan to force help on them, I guess.
We're not going to lose anyone because of some lights.
