NOVEMBER GROTTO PARTY

[goosemods]

NOVEMBER GROTTO PARTY

There's still a light snowfall as the sun sets, but adrenaline must be keeping some of the students warm as one by one they sneak out into the woods to the Grotto.

The Grotto is always warmer than you expect it to be, although the chill and snowflakes encourage everyone to cuddle close to their friends and dates. The bonfire is large and ambitious, and it reflects off the white snow, making for a warm and seasonal party. Alcohol is widely available to anyone who wants it, and some thoughtful students also made sure there was plenty of water and soda. By the fire is a conjured table hosting Quidditch Beer Pong.

Inside the stone building, things get downright cozy. There's one odd discovery, though: Laurel Templeton's flag! It appears to be stuck hard with magic, so taking it back will be a problem. Regardless of this, many students sit down on blankets and pillows to keep themselves off the cold dirt floor. A circle gathers around a single glass bottle, and kissing games take place on and off throughout the night.

RULES

1. Teen peer pressure (and player sadism) aside, no one is obligated to do anything they don't want to. Characters doing Seven Minutes In Heaven can spend the time just talking or staring awkwardly at each other, and characters playing Spin The Bottle can opt out of a kiss (although people will probably boo).


2. If characters get up to anything more racy than PG-13, please fade to black on that! This includes sexually explicit conversations. Many people track IC/OOC posts, so please have consideration for your fellow players. Talking about sex is fine (and part of the flavour of a teen game), but there's no need to get into detailed descriptions of anatomy or sex acts.


3. If you'd like to say two characters were partners in STB or 7MIH in addition to what's been rolled, feel free! Obviously, get the permission of all involved characters first.

» Before the Party: Classes drag on and on, and then after dinner students have a scant two hours of prep. Primping, pre-gaming, or just impatiently waiting for 7:00.

» Around the Fire: The large bonfire is warm and romantic. Pull up a log and grab a blanket, or dance to the party music. You can contest for control of the music, but don't make it weird, guys. (That means you two, Diego and Katya. We know what you listen to.) If you don't care for music, there's beer and soda in the ice chests, along with bins for empty bottles and cans. Don't litter, guys, seriously.

» Inside the Building: This may be where the kissing games are taking place, but there's still some room to just snuggle and chat.

» Kissing Games: This is where to post your character's reaction to their Spin the Bottle and Seven Minutes in Heaven Assignments!

• Spin The Bottle: Everyone sits in a circle and takes turns spinning the bottle to find their partner. Anyone who squeezes in (or happens to be accidentally standing behind a gap in the circle) gets a shot at a kiss. People can leave and enter the game at any time. Participants will be encouraged by their drunken classmates to kiss on the mouth.
• Seven Minutes in Heaven: "Heaven" is a narrow, closet-sized room adjacent to the main party, and is dark except for some cracks of light from the door. (The "door" being a heavy wooden board that's propped against the doorway and magically "locked" for seven minutes.) You can use your wand to get more light, but really, you two should be making out.

» Quidditch Beer Pong: Not far from the bonfire, Sy Stoker has set up a table with three yellow hoops sitting on a rectangular box, which will randomly release a miniature Golden Snitch. (Sort of like this, but slightly less janky-looking.) Nearby is a supply of red ping pong balls, Solo cups, and a waterproof signup sheet. Rules have been posted in Sy's journal. Winners will be determined through RNG (Marin will roll 1–50 for each player, best team total wins).

» The Woods: Don't wander too far. Is it just me, or do you keep getting the sensation of being watched from beyond the trees?

» After the Party: The further you get from the Grotto, the colder it gets. Brr! Did you make it back to your cabin? Did someone else put you up for the night?

QUIDDITCH BEER PONG

[goosemods]

STOKER/STOKER

[threatens]

After setting up the game, Sy immediately goes to corral Rosy into being his partner. WHO WILL BE THEIR FIRST CHALLENGER?

STOKER/STOKER

[browbeats]

DON'T BE SCARED TO STEP UP JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE GONNA LOSE.

Re: STOKER/STOKER

[bambae]

Chris takes this action

Who the fuck wants to be his partner!

Need a partner?

[sunsoutgunsout]

[I put this in the OOC thread but maybe it would have made more sense here.

If your character's looking for a partner, maybe they posted here? -> http://asylums.insanejournal.com/gooseberry/111837.html?thread=7693277#t7693277 ]

[tyhawkeswood]

Ty is bouncing on the balls of his feet with excitement watching the match between the Stokers, Chris, and Levi. And also wants to play! Oh, god, does he want to play. Someone pick him! Raf? Diego? Tabs? Vee? Someone? Don't leave him hanging.

MORALES/HAWKESWOOD

[tyhawkeswood]

Any takers? Bring it on! ...says Ty in the least intimidating and most excited way possible.

TEAM DICK CLARK (Patterson/Quayle)

[sunsoutgunsout]

PREPARE TO FUCKING LOSE, EVERYBODY ELSE

FYI IF YOU WANT TO PLAY POST A NEW THREAD UNDER THIS HEADING

[threatens]

And I'll automatically have you challenge the last winner, unless there's a specific match-up you want to play!

MORALES-TRANS

[indiefolk]

WHO WANTS TO PLAY ESSIE AND DIEGO??? Diego will be drinking Essie's share of the beer in addition to his own, don't worry Mina!

TEAM WOOD/PATTERSON

[sunsoutgunsout]

YEEEEAAAHAHHHH!!!

CUNNINGHAM/BIRD vs STOKER/STOKER

[quinning]

Quinn found her Ebonhide.

She's ready.

OGLETREE/QUAYLE v. CHALLENGERS!

[chryseis]

DE LUCA/WOLFHART v. CHALLENGERS!

[cecaelian]

Ursula's definitely had something to drink by this point and ropes Kurt into being her partner while she stalls on joining kissing games. SORRY KURT!!

OGLETREE/HAWKESWOOD

[tyhawkeswood]

Come on Gooseberry! Show this cheer captain duo what you've got!

They've got spirit, yes they do, they've go spirit, how 'bout you?

STRONG/BLOOD

[lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com]

Okay so clearly they'd do this. The evil duo needs to fight it out over this sort of nonsense except Trixie, due to allergies, can't drink beer. She will be participating with empty cups but a row of shots of tequila lined her side of the table. It's about to get real in Trixie's world and she isn't backing down. Come on, Blood. Let's do this shit.

FOSTER-HAYES/MORALES-TRAN

[magitechnically]

Essie just wants to make sure EVERYONE who wants a chance to play GETS TO. REALLY!!!!!

She's still not drinking.

Team Noble/Bird

[noblewon]

WHAT THERE ARE COMPETITIVE GAMES AT THIS GROTTO PARTY? FUCK YEAH.

Tess grabs Nate, because he seems like he'd be the type hiding mad beer pong skills.

POWERS/HAWKESWOOD

[tyhawkeswood]

Just because Ty is getting a tiny bit wobbly doesn't mean he can't play! ...And he has to win one eventually, right?

C'mon Vee!

GRAY/HAWKESWOOD

[tyhawkeswood]

One more because I dropped the ball! And because Ty will play this game aaaaall night if everyone lets him. He's going to be a mess. When Etta offers to play with him, though, he's immediately exuberant and agreeable. Yeah, Etta, let's show them how it's done!

Armstrong/Noble

[lfmkarapst.insanejournal.com]

Trixie is still going and Tess looks like a good partner!

SOMEONE PLAY WITH RYAN

[dooomcookie]

He needs a partner for this. It is an epic occasion because he is ACTIVELY being social. #drunkRyanhasmorefun

Susana- Dom, Regan, and Micah (and others are welcome!)

[pintsizedsass]

Oh my. Ana is SUCH A NOVICE when it comes to these things, guys and gal. Like for reals. It's only her boy craziness, that she's still not sure about showing btw, that draws her into the games. Well, that and alcohol. ;)

Still, when it lands on the first of you, she blushes SO HARD (extra blushing for Dom, because he's hot yo' ;D) The irony of it landing on both he AND Ree are not lost on her, and the blushing continues. Despite alcohol making her bold enough to do it even with the embarrassment. SHE'S CURIOUS, OKAY.

Her kissing skills aren't awful, but she definitely isn't an expert. She's surprisingly unaggressive, preferring to let others led and she follow. When it comes to Ree, the blushes turn MORE fierce, but she isn't a chicken! She will go right in for it, even if she's never kissed a girl before.

Micah, you unnerve her with your directness, but she's all about having fun with cute boys, so. ;)

Penelope & ?????

[get_fucked]

Penny would definitely want to be in this action. Any teammates / challengers!?

VEE AND RAS (?) If not then ANYONE

[cheerpowers]

Vee is a pretty decent beer pong player, to be fair, but she gets distracted easily and such at the beginning when she's not drunk enough yet. As her playing wears on, though, she gets better the drunker she is. So. SIGN UP HERE FOR YOUR CHANCE TO CAPITALIZE ON THIS.

She's looking at you Ras. ;)
