You're all probably tired of hearing this, so I'll keep it brief: continue being cautious and verifying identities with your journals when you can. I just encountered one of those fucking things pretending to be Quayle after my run. It was waiting at the Ebonhide camp.

[...]

Also: the Strangers might not be as adept at mimicry as we thought. If you don't have your journal, pay attention to the physical details. You may be able to pick them out.

oh no i'm not detail oriented at all
is it like one of those spot the differences puzzles

Then I'd recommend keeping your journal at hand.

ok!! i hope i don't lose it again!!

[...] 'Again'?

i set things down and forget them places sometimes
but luckily i wrote my name on the front and mabel found me

i try not to bring it to class cos it's a distraction/temptress and also cos i end up leaving it there and don't realize until my next class when i get the itch to peek

You bring your bag to class, don't you? Just leave your journal there and ignore it. ~~This shouldn't be difficult.~~

that's impossible

i'm just going to assume that anyone who's cruel in front of me is a mimic unless they use the secret password which is "christmas"
then they can be cruel but I WON'T LIKE IT but at least i'll know it's them

No. It's not.

You shouldn't rely on a password around entities with a proclivity for some sort of mind-reading.

[...] Me?

[...] Yeah.

Time to memorize the details of all my adorable classmates. Good thing too all that flour was making a mess in my bag.

~~But~~ ~~Did it~~ ~~That's~~ [ ............... ] Well, at least some of these creatures have taste.

~~Don't make it sound like~~

I'm just saying be observant. That's all.

[...] I don't think this is worth being flattered over.

All I'm saying is, it's high time somebody realized I'm worth imitating.

It's good advice.

However poorly.

[...] It's more effective than flour, in any case. It seemed worth mentioning.

Huh.
Good.
Maybe carrying around a yearbook wouldn’t hurt. To reference faces you might not remember as well.

And that's another thing, shit. Now, obviously, I'm loving this attention, but what kind of dumbass mimic thinks they can pull one over on one of us? Hell, I know y'all like the back of my hand, and [...] well, it's no secret that your eyes are even sharper. 'Course you'd notice something wasn't right.
