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.

Do they want Leo's 34 eggs!
He
probably forgot about them the second he didn't win anyway.

i mean

meggie, correct me if i'm wrong

but 34 is a nice-sounding number

Neil agrees.

Leo's in. Leo's never a loser, after all. This is a cabin that Gets Things Done.

kazim (48) + neil (24) + leo (34) = 106

Added to the leaderboard! They're sooooo close :(

Would you like to add some lovely ladies to your team? Sun-mi loves all these boys. ❤

Sun-mi (46) + Etta (35) = 81

kazim (48) + neil (24) + leo (34) + etta (35) + sun-mi (46) = 187? I DO LIKE THE LOOK OF THAT

do you girls have Terms

VERY IMPRESSIVE.

Neil will accept less chocolate than initially negotiated for because this is coming dangerously close to him actually (partially) winning something and it's kind of exciting.

The only Terms Etta has is that you boys had better not short-change her out of any of the chocolate she rightfully found. She is less fussed about the candy and the giant rabbit.

Saira isn't the Cute Girl that Sun-mi was planning on handing this giant bunny over to, but she's fine with this arrangement. She's not super into sweets, but she will teasingly tell the boys they should vote for Etta for prom queen.

Updated the leaderboard! You're in first~

Leo adores her very much; will make sure she gets the best of his forgotten candy for this deal ❤
