DETAILS ON CABIN SEARCHES

Cabin searches! All the Heads of House, plus Ms. Lilywhite and Mr. Covington, go to perform searches on cabins and lockers, looking for the stolen jewelry. But if they find contraband along the way, you'll have to face the consequences!

Luckily, Quinn Cunningham's plan was a success, allowing students across campus to hide their drugs and alcohol. What this means is that your character won't get in trouble unless you want them to. Staff is focused on finding the stolen jewelry, they're not interested in a witch hunt. As such, any minor offenses are likely to get off with a warning.

Locker searches will be done in the morning, during breakfast, with cabin searches happening immediately after. Cabin searches start with the freshmen cabins, and move up towards the senior cabins. Students will be asked to wait out by the fire pit while their cabin is being searched. Only male staff will search the boys' cabins, and only female staff will search the girls' cabins. Once they're finished, students will be allowed to return to their cabin. If contraband or something else troubling is found (i.e. something that makes staff concerned for the well-being of a student), they will be pulled aside privately to talk.

The search will be performed with Detection Spells, which will scan for contraband. There will be spells that will detect Dark artifacts, and can inspect areas in a X-ray-like fashion. They will automatically flag contraband items and concealment spells of any kind. If the spells get a hit on a forbidden item or any traces of spells meant to hide, deceive or disguise, the drawer/bed/box/etc. will be searched. If staff has an issue with something you own, e.g. a locked container with suspicious spells on it, they'll ask you to open it so they can inspect it. Long story short, your contraband must be out of the cabin to avoid being found.

As for who knew this was coming, yesterday...
Mr. Hightower told Ravinder Dhaliwal and Sun-mi Choi.

Mr. Merrill told Cecil Honeychurch, with the assumption he would inform Quinn Cunningham and Jesse McBride.

Ms. Rhee told Magdalen Gillis.

Ms. Vector told... nobody. You kids are accountable for yourselves.


The cabin searches are being done in the following order:
  • Ribbonfin

  • Azurcrest

  • Coppertale

  • Ebonhide


The following items are considered contraband and will get confiscated, and your character will likely be punished:
  • Drugs

  • Alcohol

  • Medication you don't have a prescription for

  • Fireworks

  • Blades longer than 5"

  • Weapons (brass knuckles, etc. You're not losing LARP weapons so long as they're made of foam and/or fiberglass.)

  • Magical "bigger on the inside" tents

  • Items with offensive messages/iconography (i.e. no hate speech; your weed memorabilia and t-shirt with a swear word on it are safe)

  • ETA: Tobacco

  • Anything else the staff find that they deem unsafe or a potential fire hazard. If you're not sure, just ask!


The following items are grounds for immediate suspension, pending probable expulsion. (They're screened for upon arriving at camp, and your character just straight up can't get them onto campus. We don't want these in the game setting.)
  • Firearms

  • Ammunition

  • Explosives

  • Hard drugs, like cocaine, methamphetamine, etc.


The rules on food:
  • Non-perishable snacks kept in sealed containers are allowed

  • If you are discovered to have a pantry full of food, staff will ask you to cut back

  • No heating or cooling units, magical or otherwise, are allowed in cabins


You will not get in trouble for:
  • Medicine with alcoholic content that does not require a prescription

  • Salvia (it's legal in Utah! ... Calvin and Cole may not know this.)

  • Medication you have a prescription for (obviously)

  • Cookies, a few pieces of fruit, non-perishable food, etc. Although staff would prefer only non-perishables, as long as your snacks are properly sealed, you'll get off with a warning to eat it before it goes bad or mice find it.

I GUESS IF WE'RE ALL DOING IT:

Nate has chewing tobacco, and that might actually be the worst thing in that cabin. Nathaniel, you’re a prefect. He didn’t use the contrabags because what, no one told him about that. He just shoved like three cans in his pockets and went, “Uh, well, I guess maybe now’s a good enough time to cut back??” (I’m assuming the students themselves are not being searched?)

Riley accidentally destroyed all of hers. She had a couple bottles of Captain Morgan and some weed. The Captain Morgan went crashing to the ground when she dropped the box, the weed got vanished along with it. Riley, predictably enough, threw a fucking tantrum.

Rosy has no contraband, are you kidding me. She doesn’t even have junk food. When Kurt asked her about his birding guide she thought that was fucking precious, then thought she was being condescending by finding that precious, then thought that’s because she's mean and doesn’t belong in this adorable fluffy fish house, then thought that means she needs to protect all of them oh my god, how are you going to survive in the real world?? Rosy had a rollercoaster morning y'all.

Robin I honestly don’t know. He has cigarettes that he would have shoved in his pockets or the bags, I have no clue if he actually has more than one or two knives and at least one of them is a smaller folding knife (he bluffs so much you guys, and yet even he doesn’t realize he’s bluffing, it’s a real problem). He eats apples with it. But he would have shoved the bigger one in a bag and then kept the other one on him. Those glitter traps probably should have been disabled, though. Did…did you think of that, Robin? (I really really don’t know. Since I haven’t mentioned them in a while, we can maybe say they were disabled after the last time one went off and everyone was like, “youngblood we are seriously sick of your shit are you fucking kidding me, I LOOK LIKE AN AZURCREST WITH THIS MUCH GLITTER ON ME.”)

Jeffy is an innocent little lamb are you kidding me.
