Hi guys, I know we're all excited and/or hung over with our families visiting, but please remember to stick to the buddy system and be aware of any of your friends or loved ones behaving strangely. Have fun and be safe this weekend, and congratulations to the second and third place winners of the talent show tomorrow 'cuz ya'll know I'm taking first.

[Senior Prefects & Head Kids]

Heads up, all: a student believes they saw one of the doppelgangers taking the form of a relative who is not here on campus. It could have been a case of mistaken identity, but I think we all had concerns about something like this happening this weekend.

[...]

~~I'm not sure~~

Just be extra vigilant.

That didn't take long.

I'll keep my eyes open.

I'm not sure what would've been an optimistic estimation.

I couldn't tell you. Optimism isn't my strong suit.

~~Oh fucking gr~~

Good to know.

Worse than billywigs.

Is there anything we can do about this?

I'm honestly not sure, but being so helpless is unacceptable. After this weekend, I'm going to be digging through the library for protections against shapeshifters and doppelgangers.

I'll help.
This isn't okay.

Does the staff know about this?

Thanks. We're going to figure something out.

Not yet. I'm trying to decide whether it's worth telling them. It was only in passing. The student wished to remain anonymous, and didn't want to go to the faculty, themself.

[...] Yeah, that makes sense.
Maybe we should. Just because other people are here.
Just so they know

So long as we don't let on to who saw what, yeah. [...] You want to come with?

I don't think anyone really needs to know that. And yeah, I can, if you want?

I'd appreciate it. Maybe we can prod them for some useful suggestions on keeping people safe.

Of course. I hope they have some.
Or at least increase security or something.

[...] Good to know, I guess.

So they can emulate people just from our thoughts, potentially.

Yeah that's [...] not a great development.

It's not, no.

[...]

At least it's fair to assume that anyone that shouldn't be here isn't, but [...] it suggests a level of invasiveness that's [...] extremely uncomfortable. If it wasn't just a case of mistaken identity.

I doubt we're that lucky.

Nia. You know the student. Do you think they'd make a mistake like that?

No. I don't think they would have. I didn't press, but it sounded like it was a pointedly uncomfortable combination, too. Which is sort of the M.O. of these things.
