A Week in Rural Scotland

[rainne]

Thank you for joining us here in picturesque Glen Macalie, on the shore of Loch Leven in the Grampian Mountains of Scotland. We welcome you to the campus of the Glen Macalie School for Girls and hope that you will enjoy your stay.


This week will largely be unstructured; you are welcome to investigate the castle (which dates back to 1237 CE) and the nearby village of Glen Macalie. Some resources which will be available to you include:

In the castle:
Comprehensive Library
Modern Kitchens
State of the art Training/Exercise Room
Extensively landscaped grounds and gardens
Horseback Riding
Fishing
Hiking

In the village:
Shopping
Pubs and restaurants
Museum
Historical buildings
Golf

We ask only that you take care to observe the following rules:

1) Please do not leave campus near or after dark.
2) Venturing too far outside after dark, even on campus, is not guaranteed to be safe. You do so at your own risk.
3) There will be occasional evening events. Participation in these events should be considered of minor risk; however, anyone taking part should endeavor to follow all directions to ensure his or her safety.

If you have any questions, please feel free to see Mr. Giles or Ms. Summers.

Not for you. You're not trained.

Don't worry; we're armed enough to handle anything that comes at us. Short of a demon Mayor, we've got it handled.

*raises an eyebrow at the idea that she isn't "trained" and these girls younger than her daughter _are_, but goes along with it*



*shrugs and sticks her hands in her pockets*

All right.

*raises voice to the other few participants*

If everyone could please group up, we're going to get this show on the road.

*Brittany takes the necklace and slips it over her head, handing one to Santana*

These are really pretty. Can we keep them?

*smiles slightly*

If you want to. They'll help keep you safe when you're away from here. That's not license to go jaywalking in heavy traffic or cutting through alleys in the middle of the night, but it'll do some good if you're taking reasonable precautions otherwise.

*pushes the door open, holds it for everyone*

Remember, please stay together.

*points off the cobblestone walk, out past the gardens* We'll be going that way.

*smiles, thinking she might keep hers too, it matches her eyes*

So what creatures do you think we can expect to see?

If we run into any trouble, I could probably help with this. *pulls out her wand*

*shakes head firmly*

The purpose of tonight's expedition is not for any of you to be involved in anything. You are here as spectators only. If you can't abide by that, you need to stay here.

Spectators of what, exactly?

*Santana grabbed brittany's hand in her own not really sure if she wanted to know the answer*

*smiles slightly*

Just a little bit of... recreational violence.

*leads the group up a path, farther away from the castle and into the darkened countryside*

Spectator it is. *Luna says with a grin, just excited to see the creatures she only learned about in school, in defense against the dark arts, pockets her wand*

*nods*

*moves to the front of the group, concentrating for a long moment, then turns to the north*

It's this way.

*glances in Lana's direction, makes eye contact with each of the other girls in turn, then moves forward*

*Lana smiles at buffy and gives her a nod, as if to say she's got her end covered, every fiber of her being ready for whatever might happen, ready for a fight*

*Santana takes the necklace slipping it over her head. She hoped that they didn't actually NEED the necklaces and that she was just trying to scare.*

They are. You gotta ask the boss lady. *pointing at Buffy*

~Santana

Re: Arriving in the Great Hall

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

She said that we could. That they could keep us safe regularly too.

*she gives Santana a smile and squeezes her hand as they follow Buffy*

we're absolutely safe.

~Brittany

Re: Arriving in the Great Hall

[ondragonflywing.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. *gives a slight smirk* You're in good hands.

*though it probably looked to her like no one had much in the way of weapons, since most of them were just carrying stakes, she still hadn't parted with the knife on her belt either though*

~Lana

*The greying man jogs up, dressed in casual clothes - a long leather jacket zipped up, jeans and boots that look durable, very sturdy and surprisingly comfortable*

"I'm sorry I'm a bit late... I only just heard about this little jaunt and to be honest, I've been going out of my mind without something to do. Well... aside from the magic lessons..."

*there is a less than serious note to his voice, his demeanour is one who is more curious. He looks briefly at the stakes.... then shrugs - indifferent*

No problem.

Just stay with the others and don't get involved. You're here as a spectator.
