EMERGENCY GROTTO PARTY

EMERGENCY GROTTO PARTY

The student body has been left with no choice but to focus and get work done, and by the time Friday arrives, many of them are suffering. They need an outlet, and everyone knows where the best outlet on campus is.

The Grotto is always warmer than you expect it to be, and spring is slowly creeping in. It's no longer so miserable to hang around outside, as long as you know how to dress. The bonfire in the center is large and ambitious, making for a comfortable party. Alcohol is widely available to anyone who wants it, and some thoughtful students also made sure there was plenty of water and soda.

Around the fire are a series of "thrones" (crudely decorated chairs stolen from the lodge) and crowns for the birthday kids: Clementine Decourt, Ravinder Dhaliwal, Leonardo Fiori and Olivia Sanchez. Each of them is handed a strong daiquiri made by [potions student volunteer] that's emitting glowing smoke and tastes delicious. Ravi and Olivia are told they can't be on duty as chaperone prefects because it's their birthday weekend! (Ravi then tells Diego he doesn't get to make that decision, and Diego finishes his birthday drink for him. 😢)

Inside the stone building, things get downright cozy. 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.

WHAT'S GOING ON

• Although this is being posted on Thursday, the party is actually happening Friday, March 3, 2014.


• There's no quidpong this time!


• The tents were not dragged out for the occasion!


• The prefects are still following their earlier system, but prefects, feel free to handwave that there are enough people in all roles.

» Before the Party: Oh. My. God. It's been days since the journals have been operational. How are you surviving? Are you going to go get drunk to cope?

» Around the Fire: The large bonfire is warm and romantic. Pull up a log and grab a blanket, make some s'mores, or dance to the party music. There's a karaoke setup for anyone who feels bold enough to sing along. 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. This isn't your home. Some bold students are even doing body shots as the temperature climbs into the 50s today.

» 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.


• RULES
  1. Today, Spin the Bottle and 7 Minutes in Heaven are buffet style. Post your character to this comment, and other people who want to kiss them may.
  
  
  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.

» The Woods: It's better to not go near the woods tonight, don't you think? Prefects are still standing as chaperones to keep people from wandering off.

» After the Party: At midnight, prefects will be clearing the party and guiding everyone home. Don't walk back alone! Anyone left at 12:30 AM when the second wave of prefects hits the Grotto will be written up for punishment.

[bambae]

is chris allowed to be the potions student volunteer?

Re: OOC - Questions, comments, concerns!

[goosemods]

Would you mind waiting on that? We had in mind someone who was actually Potions- and/or cooking-focused, not just any Potions student. But if it's still not taken by tomorrow morning, then Chris can have it.

Re: OOC - Questions, comments, concerns!

[ladystokes]

Guys I survived, I'm on my way home, thank you for believing in me. I thought a lot about goats. 🐐

Re: OOC - Questions, comments, concerns!

[calamityjay]

i'm watching a lot of life in pieces and drinking a lot of wine
and what i think this all comes down to
is that quinn is secretly WAY INTO BOWLING
she's probably in a league back home and has her own ball and gave it a name
