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 is still warm from that kiss, and for a moment all she can do is stare at Penny while her brain catches up. Seriously? Two prom invites in one night? It’s not like she’s a stranger at being asked to dances, but even for her this feels slightly excessive. “Penny, I’m so sorry, I -- I’ve already got a date,” Etta says, feeling genuinely bad for the girl. She decides it’s probably best not to admit that Penny missed out by mere minutes. And then it clicks that Penny must have been the anonymous commenter asking about promposals. Ah, this is awkward.

Of course. Penelope stands there for a few minutes, staring at Etta. Of course she already had a date. She’s Etta. Gorgeous, talented, who would have hesitated on asking her? Only someone totally unworthy of a date with Etta, anyway. Penelope does her best to buck up a smile and shrug. “Oh, well obviously. Don’t be sorry, it’s totally not a big deal.” She brushed some of her hair back, still forcing the smile. “Who’s the lucky person?”

Etta is used to seeing Penny cover up her feelings, and doesn’t try and make it worse by insisting that this is a big deal, since she knows Penny would hate that. She smiles awkwardly and says, “Oh -- Sun-mi. I’m going with Sun-mi.” Ah, shit, way to rub it in, Etta. She’s not usually the type to repeat herself, but it still hasn’t quite sunk in for her yet either.

Sun-mi. She’s… maybe a little surprised, but shrugs it off. “Nice. Sun-mi is super hot and really awesome. Congrats.” Penelope has no idea what to do now, so she stands there awkwardly for another few seconds, the silence dragging on for what felt like an eternity. Way to make it worse, Penny. “Well, have fun. I’ll… see you later!”

“Yeah,” Etta agrees, wishing she knew what to say to fill the silence. It’s been too long since she’s been spoken for, and she doesn’t remember how to make someone feel better without flirting with them -- if she ever knew at all. Etta isn’t usually one for soft feelings and cosseting people. She pulls her shoulders back, unconsciously seeking strength through a stronger posture. Penny will be fine. Penny is also super hot, and always seems to do all right in kissing games -- Etta’s sure she’ll find someone else to go to prom with. “See you around,” she says, and walks away so that Penny doesn’t have to.
