The chill cold night made fools of our senses

I go into the staff room to get a cup of tea and find it in darkness. Four people are sitting round the table, looking at the ceiling. I'm feeling heavily jocular.

"Holding a seance?" I ask.

"Hush! It's a Team Briefing. We're trying to channel communication from the other side to see if Policy Team has anything they should be telling us."

The concept of "The Other Side" works in so many situations, and if the persons referred to are arrogant and alienating enough you don't even have to kill (though it helps, obviously).
