FISHY FIRE FRIGHT FEST


FISHY FIRE FRIGHT FEST*


The weather keeps getting colder in October, but it's most obvious at night. After the sun goes down, students must reach for their scarves and jackets, but at least those venturing out into the early evening to the Ribbonfin campfire have warm s'mores and company to look forward to.

As students start to gather, the trees loom overhead, almost like they're leaning in to listen to the stories too.

Ribbonfin is hosting a get together, full of scary stories and safe, responsible Ribbonfun. Mr. Hightower has given the gathering his blessing, and has asked all the prefects in attendance (but especially Ribbonfins) to keep an eye on things. Students are told to be back to their cabins and in bed by midnight, and should use their best judgement if they have an early class tomorrow. They will not be excused from it!
  • BEFORE: The set up! The approach! Everyone who's not there already needs to walk on down to Ribbonfin as the sun begins to set around 7:00 PM.
  • AROUND THE FIRE: There are logs and benches to sit on, and a handful of blankets and pillows for better cuddling. Refreshments include s'mores and hot chocolate, and someone may be generously spiking peoples' drinks with flavored Baileys. Yum!
  • GHOST STORIES: Did your character tell a story around the fire? If they did, describe it here and other people can react to it. Did you spook anyone, or just get booed?
  • THE WOODS: Need a break from the crowds, or just a little private time? Just don't wander too far...
  • ELSEWHERE IN RIBBONFIN: The main gathering is taking place right smack in the middle of the Ribbonfin camp, so if you want to go sit by the stream or visit a friend's cabin, you may.
  • AFTER: Going home? Cleaning up?

* Thank you, Alex, for that beautiful title.

Henrietta tells the completely true story of the time when she and her big sister Theo went camping by themselves, the summer before last. They Apparated out into the mountains, in the middle of nowhere, and had a great time swimming and hiking and taking loads of pictures. After they got home, they dropped off the film from their camera to be developed... and when they got it back, they discovered three extra pictures... pictures of Henrietta and Theo sleeping inside their tent... one for each night they stayed.

DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNN~~~
