EASTER EGG HUNT

[goosemods]

EASTER EGG HUNT

It's a bright, sunny morning already, perfect for the festivities to come. The house elves have been very hard at work before students gather for the annual Easter egg hunt, hiding eggs all over campus.

The staff and house elves insist all students must have a good, hearty breakfast before the hunt begins. The picnick tables have been set out in the gardens, and the pastel decorations are quaint and endearing if you have an eye for cute. They might be a little saccharine for some students' tastes.

Oakes has a special gift for the students as well. He has baskets full of shimmering eggs, that he's magically filled with glitter and charmed to explode upon impact. He's cordoned off an area a little out of the way where students can throw eggs at one another, but does warn that the glitter sticks. Good news: you won't rub off much on other people. Bad news: it takes effort to get off. Either way, it's a good way to pass the time untim the hunt.



When it's time for the hunt, the prize is presented: a massive bunny plush. It's huge. Getting it home is going to be a pain. Still, if you find the largest number of eggs, it's all yours! There will be a count done to see which house found the most eggs as well, but the only prize is bragging rights.

Competitors line up, and everyone is given a basket laced with a ribbon matching their house's color. Finally, Thorn blows a whistle, loosing them on the gardens and fields!

HOW THIS WORKS

• At 9:00 AM, breakfast is available out in the gardens. It's a crisp 55°F.


• At 10:30 AM, students are released for the Easter egg hunt! The range of the hunt exends along all trails and public areas outside, but never more than 3' from the trail.


• There are dyed hardboiled eggs, plastic eggs full of candy, and wrapped chocolates hidden all around campus. Each item counts as one for the sake of the contest.


• Hunters have one hour to search for prizes!


• At the end of the hour, the participants will have their prizes counted up and the winner will be awarded the bunny. Congratulations.


• Staff will be on hand, scattered around campus, to punish misbehavior.


• There is a cordoned off area for throwing glitter eggs at one another. If you enter the area (i.e. post your character there) you may get glitter bombed. The glitter filled eggs cannot be stolen, nor can they be thrown outside the limits of the area set aside for this.

» BREAKFAST IN THE GARDENS: The flowers are beginning to bloom, and there are picnic tables and blankets out to sit, eat and socialize during or after the hunt. There's quiche, french toast with blueberry compote, hardboiled eggs, eggs benedict, cinnamon buns, fruit, and pancakes. There are vegan versions available.

» Glitter eggs: There's a roped off area where you can throw glitter filled eggs at anyone else within the boundaries of the game. There's a charm that bounced back any eggs you try to throw outside the ropes, and will stop you little monsters from stealing them.

BREAKFAST IN THE GARDENS

[goosemods]

Dimi & Sylla

[evercretin]

Thanks to some extensive focus grouping, Dimi has nailed down when the best time to ask someone to prom is. That time is sooner, rather than later. Now, preferably.

He spent an extra thirty minutes trying to make himself presentable and as unsquonked as possible, this morning. As a result, he's shown up to the festivities a bit late. It takes him little time to spot his target among the crowds of students and he meanders up to her, casually as possible. "Sylla, you look very nice today. Participating in the egg hunt?"

Avery + Open!

[un_kept]

The breakfast spread was totally divine. Easter wasn't big in her family - they weren't religious so it really hadn't been many years that she'd been enjoying this whole not-halloween-related candy-infused event. Anything with chocolate and bunnies was obviously a great holiday. The religious sub-text and original story was completely lost on her.

Still, she was all about stuffing her face at breakfast and chatting it up with anyone who wanted to join her!

Neil (OPEN to multiple. baby's first ic/ooc.)

[rosenkrans]

Neil's not the most enthusiastic about the Easter egg hunt. He cringes when they put up the bunny as a prize. If by some stroke of bad luck he ends up with that, he's immediately auctioning it off for the second biggest basket of candy.

He picks at his pancakes, feeling out of place surrounded by all the cutesy pastels and painted eggs.

Riley + OPEN

[riledup]

Riley plops herself down on a blanket with a plate of food and lies down flat on her back to eat. She can't even remember the last time she was up for breakfast and she's tiiiiired. With her currently blue hair fanned out on the ground behind her, Riley picks at the pile of fruit and pancakes she slopped onto her plate without even sitting up. She's going to spill that orange juice all over her shirt if she's not careful (she won't be).

GLITTER EGGS

[goosemods]

Xavier

[solveforx]

lives here now.

He gets the, frankly, impressively stupid idea to treat the first egg he grabs like a tennis ball, tossing it into the air and then hitting it with his hand to try and launch it.

He hits it a little to hard.

He's already coated in glitter.

He may also experiment with throwing the eggs specifically at the boundaries to try and get them to bounce back and hit other people.

He definitely takes one to the face.

Vee (And ANY)

[cheerpowers]

Did someone say glitter eggs? Is there a place where you can have an actual glitter fight? VEE IS SO THERE

Like really. She's never leaving. She might also be collecting some glitter eggs for her stockpile too but that's later on.

Who's ready to take on this glitter queen?!

Oscar + Open

[dumb_ass]

Oscar is about this. All about this.

Glitter. EVERYWHERE.

He's knee deep in a pile of glitter eggs throwing them at everyone. This is where he belongs.

Rosy + open to multiple

[browbeats]

Rosy doesn't like glitter in her hair and on her clothes and sticking to her belongings and generally being around her. But She already has glitter on her from stupid PROM POSTERS AND she likes throwing things at people. She's got a good arm. She's gonna glitter the fuck out of some people. With a stash of glitter eggs gathered around her, Rosy takes her egg throwing very seriously, and the more she likes you the more eggs she's going to huck at your head.

Cameron + Open to multiple

[gonnabefamous]

THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVERRRR!! He has completely forgotten about egg hunting later. GLITTER!!!!

Clem & open to victims

[neattrick]

Guess who's got a mean throwing arm and is moderately good at dodging projectiles? This kid.

Etta & Sun-mi

[unregrettable]

Now this is Etta's kind of game. She doesn't think twice before stepping easily over the rope, brushing aside Oakes' warning about the glitter sticking. (How is that a bad thing? Glitter is amazing.) Etta bends down to grab a couple of eggs from the nearest basket, searching for one in Azurcrest blue.

THE HUNT

[goosemods]

Kenzie

[princeprincess]

Name: Mackenzie Prince
How hard are they trying?: Kenzie's putting out effort but she'll get sidetracked if she runs into a friend and decides to chit chat. Or if spots Ulysses/ Because then egg hunting is going to take a brief backseat to flirting with very cute lizard loving boy.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: Look, don't judge her, but it's... it's cute. She kind of just wants it for herself. IS THAT A CRIME.

Diego

[indiefolk]

Name: Diego Morales
How hard are they trying?: Diego's trying as hard as he ever does, so... A for effort, C+ for execution.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: He's going to give it to Ravi because that's what good boyfriends do, right??? This is what Tabitha would have wanted him to do, probably. He looks over at Ravi and very solemnly promises, "I'm going to get you that bunny." (He's unlikely to do anything of the sort.)

Ty

[tyhawkeswood]

Name: Ty Hawkeswood
House: Coppertale
How hard are they trying?: Ty will be trying his best today! He isn't the most observant guy, though, so he might have to cover twice the ground to find the same number of eggs as anyone else; fortunately, he's got the energy to do that! He'll also take full advantage of his squirrely climbing abilities if he spies a hard to reach egg.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: Ty wants to win so he can give this ridiculous rabbit to a certain ridiculous lil' sister in his life. (Hi Hazel~)

Sylla

[sylla]

Name: Sybilla Borgin
How hard are they trying?: She has zero chill about any competition involving either prizes or demonstrating her own value. She's in. That, and she likes running and climbing about in her cute Easter clothes and hat.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: Her first thought is that it would make a good dueling and self-defense mannequin. . .

Mercedes

[misericordias]

Name: Mercy Estrada
How hard are they trying?: Never half-ass!!!! Mercy isn't going full Coppertale, but she generally puts effort into everything she does. This is just for fun, though. If someone wants it more than her, they're welcome to take it.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: UHM??? love it? She has not thought this far in advance, but she thinks it's adorable and wants it to live in her cabin.

Zachary

[readingrainbows]

Name: Zachary Zheng
How hard are they trying?: Zach is really determined to get his whole cabin to participate, as like, a Group Activity. Pretty much all of his focus is going into convincing his peeps that this is a fun and good idea; after that, he's throwing his prefect hat in the rubbish and zipping around, overturning rocks and trying to juggle glitter eggs. It's not the number of eggs that matter, everyone. It's the journey.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: It's cute! He thinks it contributes to the cabin aesthetic.

Pippa

[orangepip]

Name: Pippa Nightingale
House: Ribbonfin
How hard are they trying?: Pippa always tries her best! And she's going to team up with Essie -- two pairs of eyes are better than one, right? But two giggly sophomores might easily get distracted. IT COULD GO EITHER WAY. Here's hoping they spot another helpful white rabbit to lead them in the right direction~
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: Essie can have it! ♥

Etta

[unregrettable]

Name: Henrietta Gray
House: Azurcrest
How hard are they trying?: SHE'S A SEEKER. SHE WAS BORN FOR THIS. GAME FACE ON. Etta found out in her freshman year that "Accio egg!" didn't work (it wasn't cheating, it was using her initiative) but she is all about canny solutions, so she's going to try using her superior cheetah sense of smell to sniff out those eggs if necessary.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: God knows, but it will be a SYMBOL OF HER VICTORY. She'll probably enchant it to wander around the Azurcrest campsite and hug people's legs.

Xavier

[solveforx]

Name: Xavier Lewis, who is so covered in glitter that when the sun hits him he is visible from space
House: Ribbonfin
How hard are they trying?: Xavier is not looking too hard or trying to win but he'll never say no to candy. Also, it doesn't matter how many times you tell him they didn't hide anything in any trees, he's going to want to look in trees.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: Either transfigure it into something a little less overwhelming or put it somewhere he thinks would be funny, like in a window in the owlery or sitting on a tree branch or in the squonk pen. Do not give him this bunny.

Penny

[get_fucked]

Name: Penelope Vargas
House: Coppertale
How hard are they trying?: Penelope always tries too hard and yes, she'll have something to cuddle at night if she wins so do it up. Pray to that RNGesus.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: Pretend its a boyfriend. JK NO but actually she kind of likes it and she LOVES winning so it will... sit somewhere in her cabin. She'll probably harm it to make it slightly smaller so it fits on her bed.
