Elves are upset about that. Yes, no one has sticks. Uh, how do they feel about a resolution that the handling of intoxicated people outside their home should involve guiding them home or to their grandmother, possibly after dunking them in a fountain, and that intoxication in the home is allowed? 

- unless there are children in the home, someone proposes.

Some creative young thing with the most violently scarlet hair in the room suggests that they could just have some designated place for people to go be high in.

- sure, that sounds good. It can be comfortable and safe. Elves start talking design. Some more practically-minded people observe that this needs an immediate solution and maybe one of the storage buildings can be used while a better one is being built.

And already people are finding it unsustainable -

Permalink

Yeah. Just - most of the pressure's not from me, it's from the situation. If I take the guiding pressure off it it doesn't cease to be horrible, it just ceases to be directed.

The refugee stories are all heartwarming.

Someone's going to do something horrible and then we'll see.
