OOC Log: Auror Trainees and Aurors
Who: Head Auror Kenneth McKinnon (npc!ed) and all Auror trainees. As well as any Aurors who have been pissed about the antics of the trainees this weeked and wanted to come watch.
What: A good old-fashioned dressing-down if ever there was one.
When: 8:00 am, 13 July, 1979 (yes, it's posted a little early)
Where: The training room that I'm imagining kind of resembles a very large gym and magically happens to be somewhere in the Ministry building, probably another floor below the courtrooms or something.
Why: Because the trainees (particularly the first-year ones) need to learn what it means to be an Auror trainee and therefore part of the public face of the Ministry.
How: Yelling, I'd imagine.
Rating: Low. Anger but no violence, little throwing around of bad language, though the trainees deserve it.
Status: OOC log, because it's a heckuva lot easier considering how many people are involved and how last-minute this was.
Okay, so. As the trainees arrive on Monday morning, they're told to all get to the training room and sit down and shut up and wait for everyone to be there. Yes, even the first years who have their Stealth & Tracking class in the morning. That class will just start late today and probably end up cutting into their lunch hour, which won't be extended beyond 1:00 if that happens, by the way. Once all the trainees are assembled, Kenneth McKinnon, Head Auror, proceeds to read them the riot act. Okay, maybe not, but he certainly lectures them loudly and firmly (I'm not yelling, I'm projecting, in the immortal words of Billy Mays, may he rest in peace) on what is expected of their behaviour as trainees in the Auror department and therefore part of the public face of the ministry. He will mention that recent actions of certain trainees -- who shall remain nameless -- on the public forums of the interconnected journals have brought scorn and disgrace on the Ministry, not to mention that having the trainees acting like idiots doesn't particularly inspire faith in the public that these idiot kids will one day be the ones protecting them from danger. So. The trainees -- particularly the first-years -- have some new hoops to jump through to make their superiors happy with them again. All first-year trainees, regardless of whether they were part of the shenanigans this weekend or not, are expected to make a public apology for their behaviour within the next twenty-four hours, mentioning that they did not realise the impression that they were giving to the public. A press release will be sent out at some point that day from the Ministry with a formal apology for the antics of the trainees and reassuring the public that they are in good hands and basically just doing the PR thing and trying to put a good spin on things. On top of this, the trainees are instructed to clean up their acts. If they insist on continuing their galavanting, they MUST ward it among themselves (and not just against their superiors). They are warned that if Mr McK or Edgar Bones (as Deputy Head) hears one peep of negativity about anything further about any of the trainees (second- and third-years included, sorry!), the trainee in question will be ejected from the programme. No ifs, ands, or buts. This will go on for an "undetermined period of time." After this, the second- and third-year trainees are permitted to begin their regular training, as the rest concerns only the first-years, as they were the most troublesome these past couple of weeks. For an undetermined length of time, all first-year trainees must spend their lunch hour within the building of the Ministry of Magic. They are all required to do ten hours of community service every weekend, also for an undetermined length of time. They can find the community service on their own, but they must get a time sheet signed by someone official who can vouch for their hours. They're also required to inform Mr McK of where they will be doing community service and, yes, there is the very likely possibility that they will be dropped-in on at their community service. All "undetermined lengths of time"s are defined as being "until the trainees have learned their lesson." So! Feel free to post your reactions (or if any of the other Aurors wanted to have something of their own to add, Mr McKinnon would have opened up the floor for the other Aurors -- not trainees -- to voice their own thoughts). And yes, we will be looking for those public apology posts to go up in the journals. Oh, and feel free to make up whatever organization you'd like for your character to do community service with, trainees. If you can't think of any, think of some muggle organizations and just create the wizarding version. |
