FEBRUARY GROTTO PARTY
FEBRUARY GROTTO PARTY
The attitude towards the Grotto and the deep woods beyond has changed. Still, it's the only place that's out of view of teachers, and slowly, students trickle in. There might be fewer tonight than there were in months past, but that's no reason not to have a good time. The bonfire burns bright, there's plenty of alcohol and music, and everyone's ready to forget for a while.
The Grotto is always warmer than you expect it to be, although the snow on the ground encourages everyone to cuddle close to their friends and dates. The bonfire in the center is large and ambitious, 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 table hosting Quidpong.
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.
A series of “borrowed” tents sits just beyond the bonfire. They’re full of blankets and pillows, and have generous warming charms cast inside them. Technically they’re meant for hanging out with a handful of friends (about 4 people can sit in them comfortably)... but if you claim one and zip up the flaps, most people will get the message: Do Not Disturb. (Remember to keep things PG-13, and fade to black if necessary!)
» Before the Party: During class, the teachers are even stricter than usual, and not a few students receive warnings to not leave the trails. Are you going to listen? Whatever. The party starts at 7 PM, so you've got a couple of hours for primping and pre-gaming. Don't get caught, and don't go alone.
» 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.
» 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!
» Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans: Someone got their hands on a family-sized bag of these imported sweets. At first, it's just taken to be candy, but as the truth about these jelly beans is fully understood, it becomes a spectacle.
» The Woods: Tonight, the chaperoning prefects are adamant that no one should wander into the surrounding forest. The air grows colder the further away you wander from the heart of the Grotto, and the trees cast long shadows.
» 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.

RULES
- 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).
- 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.
- If you'd like to say two characters were partners in STB or 7MIH in addition to what's been rolled, go ahead! Obviously, get the permission of all involved characters first.
» Before the Party: During class, the teachers are even stricter than usual, and not a few students receive warnings to not leave the trails. Are you going to listen? Whatever. The party starts at 7 PM, so you've got a couple of hours for primping and pre-gaming. Don't get caught, and don't go alone.
» 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.
» 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.
» Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans: Someone got their hands on a family-sized bag of these imported sweets. At first, it's just taken to be candy, but as the truth about these jelly beans is fully understood, it becomes a spectacle.
- There's a group of students sitting in a circle, passing the bag around. The idea is that you take one, and then everyone waits in anticipation for your reaction. (Let's be real, they're all hoping you get earwax or cigarette ash.) You must then guess what it is before passing the bag to the left.
- In game terms, this means reply to the root comment, and we will use RNG to pick out a flavor for you. You can then write your character's reaction and attempt to identify what they just put in their mouth.
» The Woods: Tonight, the chaperoning prefects are adamant that no one should wander into the surrounding forest. The air grows colder the further away you wander from the heart of the Grotto, and the trees cast long shadows.
» 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.
