BACK TO SCHOOL PARTY

BACK TO SCHOOL PARTY
The Grotto emerges the way it always does when a Gooseberry student seeks it: suddenly and all at once, breaking from the densely packed trees to reveal a grassy circular clearing. In the dirt center is a bonfire, already roaring hot, with nearby coolers filled with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks (spelled to stay cold all night, so enjoy yourselves for as long as you want). Large, well-worn wooden logs serve as seats around the bonfire. Occasionally, the party music stops to allow some students to riff on guitars.
On the edge of the clearing sits an ancient-looking stone house, overgrown with moss and vines. Someone's dressed it up with softly twinkling magical lights, and the interior is surprisingly warm and bright, with hanging lanterns and several conjured beanbag chairs. The sound of a bottle spinning on the stone floor, and accompanying whoops and cheers, continues throughout the night.
Below, the post will be divided into the different areas, so go ahead and comment below describing what your character did, who they talked to, etc. Have fun, and try not to get into too much trouble.
» On The Way: The path to the party is a long walk in the dark, from your house campsite and into the deep woods. Students aren't supposed to be out after curfew, but who's listening to that rule tonight?
» Around The Bonfire: The center of the Grotto is warm and comfortable, and less crowded than the House. You're sure to find someone to talk to here, and if you don't want to talk, there's beer and soda in the coolers, and plenty of marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers for s'mores. Bins for empty bottles and cans are also located here. Don't litter, guys, seriously.
» By The Treeline: If parties aren't your thing, then this is the closest you'll get to being a wallflower. Also, if you and a friend need some privacy, there's no better place than behind the trees...
» Stone House: It was only a matter of time before someone emptied their first beer and called for some kissing games. Spin The Bottle is first, escalating to Seven Minutes In Heaven later during the night.
» After the Party: Take care with making your way back! The woods are feeling kind tonight, so you're not likely to run into anything more than the usual trouble of stumbling back to your cabin after one too many drinks. But still—don't tempt fate. And don't forget to clean up after yourselves.

The back-to-school party begins after curfew, and students must sneak out and through the deep forest to get to the Grotto. (Depending on who your prefect is, this might be very easy or mildly difficult. Prefect patrols are not yet active, and staff is politely pretending they don't know what's going on.) The party ends at... well, there's no class tomorrow, so you kids can sort that out amongst ourselves.

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. ;)
- If you'd like to say two characters were partners in STB or 7MIH in addition to what's been rolled, feel free! Obviously, get the permission of all involved characters first.
- If your character is coming late to the game, please jump in anyway! You can post here and ask for volunteers to kiss your character during STB or 7MIH, if you wish.
Below, the post will be divided into the different areas, so go ahead and comment below describing what your character did, who they talked to, etc. Have fun, and try not to get into too much trouble.

» Stone House: It was only a matter of time before someone emptied their first beer and called for some kissing games. Spin The Bottle is first, escalating to Seven Minutes In Heaven later during the night.
- 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.
» After the Party: Take care with making your way back! The woods are feeling kind tonight, so you're not likely to run into anything more than the usual trouble of stumbling back to your cabin after one too many drinks. But still—don't tempt fate. And don't forget to clean up after yourselves.
