Announcement at Dinner

[goosestaff]

Multiple prefects at this point have come to the staff about what's been going on in the woods. During dinner, Ms. Vector stands up to make an announcement on the subject.

"Students, we want to let you all know that the recent events in the forest with an unknown magical entity are being looked into. The staff have already had multiple discussions about what has changed and why, but until we have diagnosed the problem, we want to emphasize the importance of school rules. They are for your safety. Do not go out after curfew, do not go to the Grotto, and always stay on the trails."

"And," a voice cuts in. It's Mr. Calderon-Boot. "Stop responding to the anonymous writer. There's strong evidence it has something to do with the woods. Plus, the whole thing is terrible for school morale and encourages bullying. That's not the atmosphere we want here at Gooseberry."

Mr. Merrill looks sceptical about that connection, but no one else speaks up to refute his point. Vector thanks Calderon-Boot, and turns back to the student body. "We've been lenient with you all until now," she says. "The forest has always protected the children of this school. But until we better understand what's happening, the rules will be strictly enforced. Curfew is from 10 PM to 6 AM. No sleepovers and no camping."

I mean, to be fair, the Grotto's always been off limits and that's never stopped anyone before.... :)

[quinning]

But now it's extra super off limits!

However, you make a very good point.

[choneychurch]

Unless the Head Boy decides to be an extra super buzzkill. WE'LL SEE. ;) Cecil's not sure what to think yet.

Jesse @ Cecil

Cecil @ Jesse

[choneychurch]

[jijmjr]

Yeah... :(

[choneychurch]

[bambae]

I want to see Cecil be a super buzzkill tbh tho

[choneychurch]

Noted~!

Everything does seem to be escalating and he might think that, at least temporarily, this is the better option. I am pondering!

[knightly]

If Cecil decides to become an extra super buzzkill, Ravi will support him. :c

Part of me is like noooooo because I had plans but ICly there is no way Ravi won't back Cecil on this issue. He was one of the prefect tattletales too, after his convo with Zoey. :|a

[choneychurch]

Thank you, Ravi. ♥

That's sort of where I am, honestly. Supporting this seems like the IC thing to do. But. CECIL. WHY?

[quinning]

Cecil, you're an Azurcrest. You're supposed to love fun.

[choneychurch]

Cecil loves safe fun. :(

Maybe the prefects can come up with some overly intense system to keep everyone in line and get them home on time. Then people can still ~have fun~ without giving all their teen moms and dads a heart attack.

WE'LL HAVE TO DISCUSS.

[firstposition.insanejournal.com]

BUT IF CECIL JUST WANTS TO LAY DOWN THE LAW, Rafael will fall in line.

[choneychurch]

DECISIONS ARE HARD, RAF.

Aaaaand Maggie might disagree with him too, even if that's how he feels. So. We'll all have to discuss!

[firstposition.insanejournal.com]

No, they're super easy Cecil! You just tell people how it is and they had better listen to you or else.

I guess it depends on if they want to take a stand and send a message, or do damage control with the knowledge that people will attend anyway and someone needs to have eyes on the ground.

As a prefect who regularly attends Grotto parties, but didn't get drunk until she turned 18, because she spends the night pushing water on people and escorting drunks back to cabins, Tess would probably vote the latter.

[chryseis]

Cricket will do literally anything Maggie says.

[choneychurch]

And Cecil? 50/50?

[gdilevi]

Maggie is gonna be against the Grotto parties at NIGHT. She's willing to compromise for daytime since supernatural occurrences seem to happen around witching hour.

Levi is just gonna :( @ Cecil

"But it's our last year...... Nobody's gotten hurt........"

I MEAN, these opinions all might change depending on what happens to the kid who gets kidnapped BUT these are how they feel right now

[goosemods]

You got us, this is a cruel ploy to see how badly everyone wants their characters to get into trouble, even with Papa Bird frowning at all of you. :')

[quinning]

yeah no it's cool quinn's headed for some potential trouble later this week anyway i'll get my character-torturing fix

[chryseis]

Omigod will Jesse be the less of a fuckup prefect for once????

[quinning]
