EASTER EGG HUNT



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.

How hard are they trying?: And do you want them to win?
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: It's almost more of a burden than a prize.

» 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.

» THE HUNT: Post the above form here if your character is entering the competition.

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!

Vee and Avery!

[personal profile] un_kept 2017-04-16 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
HELL YEAH she was going to get in on the glitter!

The second she heard about it (and after finishing a lot of breakfast) Avery was out at the little sectioned off area, picking up glitter and fighting people with it.

Including Vee. She was still a little upset that Vee had taken Cam as her running mate for Prom Royalty, so when the opportunity arose...

A glitter egg was aimed straight for her!

How hard are they trying?: She wants to do well for her house and is trying relatively hard but she is not having a very good morning and is obviously quite distracted.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: Gift it to someone else. Wait, that's practically mean right? Hide it in a closet somewhere.

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.

Vee and Avery!

[personal profile] cheerpowers 2017-04-16 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Vee is already covered in glitter, whether from her own hands "accidentally" breaking the eggs or not is unclear. When she sees Avery, she gives her friend and fellow captain a smile, though almost immediately notices the egg coming straight for her.

YES. Bring it.

Vee doesn't even dodge, laughing as the egg hits her and explodes in a shower of glorious sparkles. "Nice throw, cap!" She says with a grin. Not being a quidditch player, she tosses one back, though who knows if it'll actually hit the mark or not.

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.

Just being in the presence of all this is going to give her a glittery shine, but that's okay.

One of the teacher's will be able to help them get the glitter off, right? There's gotta be something, so she really doesn't even think about it.

Vee puts on her game face and Avery laughs. "Same to you, cap!" She says, even though Vee's probably didn't hit exactly where she'd have wanted it to. It still hit Avery, just in the knee. Not prime glittering real estate.

"Watch this!" She is partially wanting to show off but also because she thinks Vee will like it. She tosses the egg just above Vee's head - the second the egg leaves her hand she pulls out her wand and "Diffindo!" The egg explodes just over Vee's head and glitter rains down.

I have like an hour left in the car SO LET'S FIND SOME EGGS

Name: Riley Stamper
House: Azurcrest
How hard are they trying?: Riley does not try hard at very many things, but she wants candy. She might be a little vicious if she thinks someone else is about to get a candy egg that she wants and might elbow someone in the gut on "accident." She definitely elbows Casey in the throat and that's not on accident. She loves you Space CASE 😘
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: Put it under her covers when she sneaks out so no one can tell she's not hidden under her covers. Except it might actually be much bigger than her.

What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: Tell Chris she won it for him because there is no way that's fitting on her trophy shelf.

How hard are they trying?: B has become rather competitive and wants to win this thing! And she just wants a lot of candy. I don't mind her winning.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: Carry it around in victory until it gets to be too much. She'll probably make it smaller eventually so she can place is somewhere in her cabin for everyone to see.

Name: Robin Youngblood
House: Coppertool
How hard are they trying?: Robin probably steps on more eggs than he picks up, but he's his usual stupidly enthusiastic self. He doesn't care much about WINNING so much as just running around in the woods. He absolutely has to be called back to the trails multiple times, goddammit Robin.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: Sacrifice it to the elder gods.

How hard are they trying?: Ehhhhh. He always likes winning, and will put in a nominal try for the sake of it. But he doesn't even like candy, and Rafael or like...any of his friends with a more fun conversation could take him away from this goal.
What are they going to do with that bunny if they win?: He'd probably give it to his 8 year old niece to love forever :(

Rosy + open to multiple

[personal profile] browbeats 2017-04-16 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
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.
