The Inspection
On the whole, the weather had been temperamental lately. One minute, it was absolutely bucketing it down, and the next, it was bright sunshine. The amount of rain had turned the ground into a muddy mess, but at least the tents provided perfectly adequate shelter, and a gazebo had been erected over the community dining table to protect everyone from the elements.
Despite the temperamental weather, however, it had been fairly warm throughout the past two weeks, so the chill in the air during dinner that evening was particularly noticeable, even before the dark, hooded figure by the Ministry's representative's desk had been seen.
Nervously, the Ministry representative approached the table.
"I'm afraid we have a visitor," he said, addressing everyone at the table and hoping that anyone not there could hear him. "This is a Dementor, one of the Guards at Azkaban. It's a high security prison. He's just here to, well, ensure that a certain escaped criminal isn't hiding amongst you.
"I don't expect he'll be here for more than an half an hour, so do try not to worry too much. They can make people rather, well... uncomfortable."
Bowing his head slightly, he left the Outsiders to their meal.
[And so, a Dementor is lurking around the camp, just in case one of the Outsiders is secretly Sirius Black. They're known to sap the happiness out of the environment, and - in cases where there are true horrors in someone's past - cause traumatic memories to resurface.
The chilly, depressed feeling can be lifted by the deliciousness of chocolate, though the Outsiders will need to discover this on their own. Good thing there's dessert.]

Thing is, if you have a prison for people like these magical people, why employ something you're scared of yourself to guard them? If you're scared, you're also just as much as a prisoner as those you wish to contain.

Maybe the criminals scare them more.

[Mind you, Marco himself is aware that he's still feeling terrified of black and darkness and those things just a bit right now.]

What would you have them use instead here?
no subject
Something that makes sense.
no subject
[Wry grin.] Just because you can't understand it doesn't mean it doesn't make sense to them.
no subject
They're still a bunch of fools.
no subject
Mah, have you ever known any government to be otherwise?
no subject
No.

Hopefully they haven't been through as many rough things so it won't hit them too hard, eh.
