"Agreed," Jude said to Liliana. "If it could have been done with something non-religious, there's an equal chance it would have used that. You'd expect, if it was religious based, that something would have been said. Even if you assume Xavier's simply a particularly stupid pawn and not the brains behind the operation, you'd expect someone to have claimed credit. A single latin phrase would have driven the school insane. A poster or something. Someone claiming credit. Instead it seems more focused on Chloe herself."

Jude glanced to Elisa, considering it for a moment before shaking his head.

"It'd be showing too much bias towards demons," Jude said. "If it's even possible. I'm not convinced it is, personally. Holy water has been fundamentally changed by the blessing. You can't juts wave your hand and declare it unholy, and a charm could do even less for that. But more importantly, it'd inspire fear in people, even more than already happened. I don't think it would make people feel safe."

Yasmin nodded tensely. It made sense, but in a way that sickened her, she was disappointed. It meant this would be more complicated to solve when it could easily be handwaved by it being a threat against demons. But Yasmin had no intention of bringing up those thoughts. They were silly, at best, and downright delusional at worst.

Not like she had any right to play detective anyways. They were here to help the school, not figure out the motive behind the crime and find the criminal. She decided to stay out of that side of the conversation.

"I agree with Ju—A-Ah, uh... I agree with Angelo. That, and the expenses of charms would be complicated to handle. Every demon at the school and any that come in the future would need a charm that fits them perfectly. Nullification bracelets have had side effects before as well, so I don't think every demon could have one anyway.

"Lastly, it'd be putting the weight on the potential victims. If they're attacked and they don't have a charm, it could easily be said that it's their fault for not protecting themselves beforehand."

Liliana nodded as Yasmin talked, waiting til she had finished. "And charms don't protect against a physical attack," she added, her tone serious. That had to be said, so far there had not been any violence in the traditional sense, but there could be, and charms would not prevent that. Nothing, short of a magical barrier, could prevent that. Besides as Yasmin pointed out, charms were expensive and not everyone wanted to wear one. Herself included.

"I was thinking that we might start attending rallies and meetings, public get-togethers, to see what is actually being said, gauge the student body's reactions and needs, and see if there is anything that comes up at the gatherings."

" We could also help calm fears, show them that there are people that care and do want to help... and generally, they are not alone and that there are people that want to help and do understand them and what they are going through..." she suggested as she glanced around the group.

Jude shot Yasmin a smile when she caught herself, correcting his name. He didn't really mind if people got it wrong--technically on the school paperwork it was still down as Jude, for one--before turning his attention to Liliana's suggestion.

"I think making ourselves more obvious and listening to student concerns is probably the best option. It's not big or flashy, but making ourselves visible will do a lot to boost morale."

This was the sort of thing he'd been explicitly taught about back in Halcyon City. About morale. About making yourself visible. It was something he felt comfortable with.

"I think we should probably call the meeting here," Jude said. "We've covered a lot, and we need time to digest. We can do another meeting down the line if anything major comes up, or if any new information comes forward."

Yasmin returned Jude's smile with a less confident one of her own. Then, she looked around the room and nodded in agreement with Jude.

"I agree with Angelo. I'd be happy to work with students to make the school feel safer, but I don't want us to do anything that might keep reminding students of their fear. I need to get going soon, though." Yasmin would linger a bit longer to see if anything else important was said for her to note down, then take her leave when everyone else was ready to go as well.

Elisa nodded and Listened to everyone as they spoke. Her idea wasn't good, even she could see that. Even thinking about it now, it would have cost the school too much.

What they all decided on were more Public actions. That was something that could definitely work. it could at least remove some of the fear.

Elisa was probably the last to leave, though, afterwards as she set the Classroom back to its usual state. With a nod, she made sure to remove any rubbish that may have been left behind, and turned the lights off as she left. "Well," She mumbled. "Hopefully we don't have to return to this meeting after another failed prank."
