I imagined Digit saying, “This should be easy enough, I just have to make sure Scarlett doesn’t eat Timothy. I’ll jump in if she even looks like she’s about to bite off his head.”
Also, in the UK, at least, not only are adult staff quartered separately from minors, but if the membership age goes past 18, then any young adults must be quartered separately as well.
Not to mention any potential separation rules among the staff (e.g. in military youth organisations)!
…because the chaperones do want to get some sleep some time and being in the same room with a bunch young teens on a what equates to co-ed sleepover, (regardless of the original intention), will not allow them to do so. 🙂
It’s been stated that she likes being scared. It might be less of a genuine fear and more of a giddy excitement about all the potentially scary things that might be out there.
Digit’s statement reminds me of a training instructor I knew, who’d deadpan say along the lines of “If you’re gonna get hurt, make sure you die. There’s less paperwork for me, that way.”
I’ll never forget being invited to a church camp (church people are attracted to me for some reason, perhaps it’s all the sinning?) and the older kids 13-18 got a cabin… They insisted I play 7 Minutes in Heaven and Spin the Bottle (which was SUPER awkward on both counts, although you didn’t HAVE to do anything in the closet…whew!), until the “adults” showed up…whereupon it was decided I was the wicked one (I’d never HEARD of either game until that night, but I didn’t belong to the church) so I missed out on the drinking games (no biggie, no hangover early on Sunday morning), while sleeping between two women of questionable hygiene…on the floor (that was the worst; my body still twinges) in another building…with small children (good plan, keep the Evil One with the kids!). That was my one experience with a supervised sleepover outside of friend’s homes… I think these kids will fare better.
The P.E. building does not block the sun setting. It blocks the sunset, it blocks the setting sun, but it does not keep the sun from setting, what “block the sun setting” means.
Aq, gee! No snoggin’…
Digit kinda shocked Valerie there. 😆 wonder what else Digit will say to shock the duffuses
digit the realist.
Digit is probably just remembering how it was for her, going to sleepover parties with her two or three hundred closest spiderling friends…
I would ask “Do spiders snog, and if so, how?” but I’m not sure I want to know.

No snogging? There goes the Harry Potter book marathon!
Heh, London Snog.
There can’t be snogging here. There’s no shrubbery, and no pond.
Don’t look now but that car is getting assaulted by a Fapping Willow.
If there’s a Willow involved, it’ll all end in tears…
Digit shouldn’t be doing “heavy sarcasm mode” until she’s mastered simpler expressions…
Are you absolutely sure digit wasn’t being serious there?
I think her totally-serious-at-all-times lends itself quite well to sarcasm.
And the chaperones aren’t sleeping in the same room because … ?
Its more fun that way.
Most ‘Youth Protection’ courses i’ve been through mandate that adults have separate accommodations from their charges.
What khyrin said.

Um, good luck with that, Valerie.
I have to wonder how Valerie snogs. Kissing is obviously out of the question.
Face hugs.
As a bonus, the same technique can be used when negotiating business deals.

Kissing Valerie would be some sort of Cronenberg body horror/hentai oral sex thing.
99.9% of population: total screaming turnoff/0.1% dream come true.
Wait, Stela isn’t afraid of the dark, is she? o_O

They don’t need any encouragement from them.

There will be much snogging!

Wel,, its a good thing no one had any egg SNOG beforehand, eh? *rimshot*

My guess is that Valerie didn’t engage in a lot of casual snogging as a teenage Eldritch Horror. Unless she went to R’lyeh Middle School…
Wait wait wait… How many fricken spider humanoids are there?!
When did THIS multiply happen?!
