ANON POST PARTY

HOW THIS WORKS

This is not an anti-anon post party. It's just a party taking place at the same time as the anonymous post.

You don't need to surrender your journal to attend.

It's taking place at Azurcrest.

If you do want to surrender your journal, however, there's a trunk that Cecil Honeychurch, Ravinder Dhaliwal and Diego Morales have enchanted to only open for the three of them when they're all present. At the beginning of the party, you can give them your journals and they'll leave them locked up for the night. Diego says the only downside is that if one of the three of them dies, you'll never get your journal back. It's unclear if he's joking or not.

The party starts at sunset, just as the anonymous writer is expected to appear. It'll go until the anon post dies down, around 1 or 2 AM.

As this is taking place at a campground, if you plan on drinking or smoking, you need to be covert about it. There will be a Naughty Children section of the party where you can sneak off to drink. If you don't get shit faced and wander into the main party area, you'll be fine.

Kissing games are self-serve. Post your character under the header, and reply to the people your character "randomly" kissed.

» BEFORE THE PARTY: Students are antsy, as Saturday has been a long day of nothing, which will be immediately followed by a lot of excitement. A party, the anon post, and tomorrow the game!

» OPTIONAL JOURNAL LOCKUP: If your character would like to avoid the temptation to look at the anonymous post, reply here letting us know they locked up their journal. There will be no consequences for doing so, except that if you do, you may not reply to the anonymous post with the character in question.

» AROUND THE FIRE: The fire pit has been lit, and there are plenty of benches and blankets around it to sit on. Roast marshmallows, hang out with your friends, listen to music, etc.

» KISSING GAMES: A handful of students gather around an empty beer bottle to partake in Spin the Bottle and Seven Minutes in Heaven. People puzzle for a little over what to use in lieu of a closet, and settle on a tiny clearing off the path, hidden by trees. It's a favorite outdoor makeout spot up at Azurcrest.

» THE CABINS: You can only enter a cabin by invitation.

» NAUGHTY CHILDREN: Some students are dissatisfied by the dry party, and slip off to a little spot behind the senior girls' cabin. It's very secluded, and gives an impressive view of the forest beyond the cliffs. Here you're free to indulge in illegal substances, as long as you're smart about it.

» TRUTH OR SHOT: A game of good old Truth or Shot breaks out in the secret party within a party. A bottle of whiskey is passed around to the people being asked questions, so really it's more "Truth or Swig".

» OOC - Questions, comments, concerns!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Etta swears she only brought her journal to the party to lock it away, since she wanted to support Diego's idea, but... she can't resist taking a little peek now and again. It's pretty much standard Anonpost fare, but occasionally she has to comment, such as when someone had the nerve to call her team mediocre (!) or the merits of fake cake versus real cake. What really alarms her is when someone asks her if she's into promposals. Etta seriously hopes they're joking, and shuts her journal with a decisive snap, leaning back on the blanket and stretching her legs out towards the fire.

She's got a little supply of marshmallows next to her, and starts threading them onto a stick, wishing she'd thought to grab some chocolate too.

Sun-mi can't come to a party at Azurcrest without seeking out Etta. ...Okay, Sun-mi can't go to any party without seeking out her ex-girlfriend, though usually by the time she finds her, Etta's already settled down into the Spin the Bottle circle. Which is fine! They broke up! It was mutual! (Keep telling yourself that, Sun-mi.)

When Sun-mi spies Etta seated by the fire with her marshmallows, she snatches a few dark chocolate bars from Xavier's stash of horrifying sweets and makes a beeline for her.

"Hello, beautiful girl. Would you like some company?" Sun-mi asks as she settles down next to Etta on the blanket, holding the chocolate bars in front of her. There's a devilish look in her eyes.

Etta's eyes light up -- though whether it's at the sight of Sun-mi or the chocolate, who can say? "Always," Etta says, moving over so that Sun-mi has more room on the blanket... but then snuggling in close once she's settled. "Gimme gimme gimme." She stretches out her hands for the chocolate and makes a little noise of happiness when she sees it's proper dark chocolate and not the pale stuff. "You know me too well," Etta tells her affectionately, and moves her pile of marshmallows in front of them, so that Sun-mi can help herself if she wants to.

Sun-mi grins at the warm reception and deposits the bars in Etta's outstretched hands... fully intending to steal some back later. It tastes better that way! "Ah, I like to hope so," she teases fondly as she brushes some of Etta's hair out of the way, letting her fingers linger on the back of her neck. Ravi and Diego are not far off and her heart does a wistful little flip flop whenever she witnesses how much they adore each other. Sun-mi turns her attention back to Etta and adds with a small sigh, "Anything for the future queen."

Etta starts unwrapping a bar, inhaling the scent of 85% pure cocoa. Ohhhh this is the good stuff. She tilts her head towards Sun-mi, enjoying the familiar feel of her touch, and considers what she just said. "Do you really think I'll be crowned prom queen?" She's not fishing for compliments: it's a genuine question. She's not opposed to the idea -- it could be fun -- but... "I haven't been campaigning or anything. I feel kind of bad for whoever nominated me," she admits. "Maybe they're disappointed I haven't even made a poster."

She breaks off a square of chocolate and holds it out to Sun-mi.

Sun-mi takes the chocolate and nibbles on a corner thoughtfully. Oh, this is the good stuff. She's not much of a sweet tooth, but she can certainly appreciate a good dark chocolate. She'll have to thank Zav later. "I think you have a fair chance at it, yes. And no one in our year has been campaigning," she points out, "So you are all on equal footing. It is like we all have things like senior projects and graduation to worry about instead."

Before Etta has a chance to protest about Sun-mi bringing up Serious Topics at a party, she leans in to nuzzle her nose by Etta's ear. "Ah, but let us not worry about that right now. There are much more fun things to think about. Like prom. And which handsome prince's invitation you will accept."

"True. Only in my case I'm worrying about Quidditch more than my senior project." Etta is vaguely aware she might have her priorities wrong here, but... eh. Life is short, and she's only got limited space in her brain to worry about things.

In the next moment, however, she forgets all about Quidditch and senior projects. Sun-mi's nuzzling makes her wonder why they're still talking and not kissing. Etta drops her hand to Sun-mi's leg, her fingers tracing circles on her thigh. "How do you know a handsome princess won't ask me first?" she teases, turning her head so that her nose brushes against Sun-mi's cheek.

"Hm, since I have recently been made a prince, I think I can sweep both categories," Sun-mi whispers conspiratorially as she ghosts her fingers across Etta's cheek to move her hair out of the way again. "I am told this is how all the best princes ask. And the princesses," she murmurs against Etta's lips before drawing her into a heated kiss.

Like a mirror image, Etta brings up her other hand and slips her fingers through Sun-mi's hair, which, as always, feels like silk. She tastes chocolate, and deepens the kiss.

"Congratulations on your new royal status," Etta murmurs a few minutes later, barely pulling back before going in for another kiss. And then, even though her thoughts are... somewhat hazy... right now, something occurs to her. She keeps her voice light, in case she's wrong: "Is this you asking me?"

Sun-mi lingers close, always finding it difficult to escape Etta's draw. Especially now, when one very satisfying kiss feels like it could maybe smooth away all the twinges of jealousy that have prickled at Sun-mi all year long. "Ah, did you not hear the question in there? Do you need me to repeat it?" She traces her thumb along Etta's bottom lip as she gazes affectionately at her. "Will you go to prom with me? It is.. only a couple months left here and I miss you."

Etta's heart does a funny little twist at those words. But we still make out, like, all the time, she wants to protest, but she knows it's not the same as actually being in a relationship with someone. Their breakup was mutual and on good terms, and Etta's never regretted it, but the thought of graduating and not getting to see Sun-mi every day makes Etta suddenly feel possessive. She catches Sun-mi's hand and holds it tight. "This is how potential queens say yes," she breathes, and closes the gap between their mouths again.
