((I've added Odhran, Candance, and Simon, Palesa and Emil, to the list. ;p That's well over five OC's, thanks for participating! Post your intros and starters!))

Book End didn't have the sort of police force that could protect something like the Truth Tree. To be perfectly honest, no one did: gathering at its roots were paper slips, holding enough scandals to topple a dozen royal families a dozen times over - and, had the Grimms notified any of these royals, there would've been chaos. Even though the entire school knew about the tree, knowledge of its imminent death had to stay within the student village.

So the five or so officers Book End PD could provide had to do. More used to apprehending pickpockets than guarding secrets, most of them had started to nod off in their folding chairs out of boredom.

That is, until Urtica Swan blew her whistle.

The tiny teenage girl had made a picket sign taller and larger than herself, with the words THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE - PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW painted on it. Marching up and down in front of the tree, the one-man strike action pumped the placard up and down and blew on her whistle for attention.

The policemen stood shocked and still, before moving in to grab her.
