Cool, Gooseberry, ghosts at the Sorting. Glad to see we're starting off on the right foot.

And yet somehow I'm still super delighted to be back. What's up with that, do you think? Is it because teenagers have difficult comprehending consequences and our own mortality?


MUAH. How was everyone's summer?

[Warded to Prefects/Heads]

Not to harsh anyone's mellow right off the bat, but can we discuss what we're going to do about the inevitable Back To School Grotto Party? Are we still following the whole 'better prefects there than no student authority at all' idea from last year, or...?

Asking because I'm an Azurcrest and we all know Azurcrests and parties and also reckless invitations of death.

I was hoping a little for a healthy fear of the grotto, but I'm not sure there is such a thing.

Ideally, there wouldn't be parties. But if there are parties, I'd rather know and be present than not. Unless we were omnipresent and cracked down literally every time there was drinking and more than three people, we just continue to run the risk of people meeting in secret and getting hurt. [...] Same old catch-22 as last year, only this time with more known consequences, I guess.

What does everyone think about this? More than anything I want us to present one voice to the students. Makes for less arguments.

The issue of people meeting in secret really concerns me. It's the heart of the issue, in my view - people snuck out of the cabins even if it wasn't for parties, you know? So whatever our decision, that needs to be considered.

Problem is, each cabin is different from the next one and what works for my girls might not work for Ree's,and so on. But at the same time, it's not going to be fair if a punishment approach isn't the same across all four houses.

...sorry, I was kind of thinking aloud there.

All right. I know there are a lot of opinions here. That's good. But the last thing I want to see this turn into is infighting. So here's a quick summary of our unresolved issues. We need Nia in on this too before any decisions can be made about our stance anyway. Whatever that is, I want us to try to come to a united one. I think going to the grotto for intel is a good idea. We can't know what we're dealing with until we see it. So in the meantime, to consider, you don't have to answer now, here. And if there's anything else, please add it:

  • How dangerous is the grotto? Mixed opinions. Also mixed opinions on whether it's appropriate to go back there, especially for parties.

  • Are parties something we should be doing at all?

  • Will our classmates fall in line with strict enforcement or just go behind our backs? To what extent?

  • Are campsite parties and Ribbonfin swimming spot parties a decent compromise?

  • Are grotto parties with even more restrictions another compromise we could consider? What kind of restrictions, if so?

    Thank you for compiling this, Ferdie. My apologies for my absence from the debate. I've spent the evening tangling with a particularly homesick freshman.

    Everyone, please don't hesitate to ward me with any concerns you have. I understand this is a delicate topic and I'm sure it will continue to come up throughout the year. Let's all try to think realistically and keep discourse civil and productive. We all want the same thing, here: a safe student body.

    I have no new points, but I feel like the second point has to be yes. Take away the Grotto parties and we need something to replace them for people to be safe and let off steam, you know? So I feel like we need SOME alternative, if the investigation leads to a finding that the Grotto is not safe. Obviously, the alternative needs to be discussed at the appropriate time once we know the full story.
