After Ms. Vector's announcement yesterday...the prefects, Head Boy, and Head Girl have a lot of decisions to make. To facilitate discussion, Cecil and Maggie have called a prefect meeting that will take place in one of the empty classrooms during dinner (to accommodate everyone's schedules). Everyone is encouraged to bring their food to the meeting and Cecil has spent part of the afternoon baking so there are cookies too. The meeting isn't mandatory, but this will be the only chance the prefects have to give their opinions prior to the final decisions being made. Anyone that does attend is expected to be patient, respectful, and open toward other prefects. Those that can't be civil will be asked to leave. ~~That means you, Casper.~~

The discussion will circle around three topics: curfew, the Grotto, and the post made by the Anonymous Writer. Each discussion will end with a blind vote. No one will see how individual prefects vote on a given issue and only Cecil and Maggie will know the results. While the results of the votes will not necessarily determine the policies, they will be taken into consideration by the Head Boy and Head Girl.

Players will have until 11PM CST on Friday to respond and vote. Cecil or Maggie will announce the official prefect position on Saturday morning before the Anonymous Writer's post goes up. Please include any questions or comments in the OOC section below! Non-prefect players are welcome to toss their two cents there as well.

CURFEW × GROTTO × ANONYMOUS WRITER × OOC

"I don't know about repercussions, there's just no way to be beyond a reasonable doubt levels of sure who someone is on those posts," Rosy shrugs, because Rosy always has to start with a negative. "But you're right that we should be stepping up. Ravi is the only one of us consistently trying to encourage some decency and the rest of us just ignore it or dive on in."

	Rosy had a point. They couldn't turn this into a witch hunt but god did Olivia want to. "We all need to emulate his decency. Instead of worrying about ourselves and the critiques our relationships get. We were made prefects for a reason," she said. "So I suggest we don't ignore the post this month. We can at the least attempt to steer it into kinder directions." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Rosy kind of wants to point out that that was easy to say when you weren't the one being torn apart on those posts. But Rosy also refuses to let anyone know that those posts get to her.

"I mean, there are a couple dozen of us, probably only a handful of people that actually want to stir the pot," she shrugs. "If we all pitch in... could make a difference?" She doesn't sound very optimistic, but she's also not used to trying to sound optimistic.

Cecil frowns, but nods, "Unfortunately, I agree. If we start handing out punishments for behavior there, we'll almost certainly punish the wrong people sometimes and we'll probably get people trying to get each other punished. I don't think we want to go down that road. But...we can certainly do more to have a positive presence there." He thinks of the plan Diego had mentioned to him, then nods to Rosy and adds, "I think making an effort to be part of those conversations could make a difference. Is that something we can all agree on? Or, at least, not to be part of the problem?"

	Ravi smiles. Having people be kinder to each other is all he's wanted from the anonymous post, and it's touching to see how many people agree. "Shall we put it to a vote?" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Rosy is right as usual, and Ferdie nods. " And in doing that. It might help to even work some of the Anonymous part in our favor? We could multiple-comment to the same person, and pretty much flood people with support. I wouldn't encourage bullying the bullies like that, obviously, but. If other people are going to, then why not use the tool." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"That's ridiculous!"

"No, he's right, I think that's a great idea!"

"It'll never work."

"Call 867-5309 for a good time."

"Cricket has such beautiful hair." *finger guns*

"All in favor, say aye."

"Aaaaayyyyye. Say nice things to each other; motion passed," Jesse mutters (audibly) to Quinn as he makes two baby carrot shoes dance on the ends of his forks. Why do you have two forks, Jesse? Don't worry about it.

	Trying not to break into laughter is a battle Quinn's destined to lose before she even starts. In a matter of seconds she's doubled over snorting, hands covering her face so she's at least 10% less distracting. She smacks Jesse on the knee. She'll be down here for a while before she recovers. Nothing to see here, move along, move along. (Reply to this) (Parent)
