SENIOR MONTHLY BONDING: November

SENIOR BONDING

Today, you’re all at the mercy of Ms. Lilywhite and a rather less confident Mr. Elmasry. She smiles in a quiet, self-satisfied way as she looks at the assembled pairs.

She explains the scenario: You are all Aurors, and the person you’re assigned with is your partner. A Dark wizard has captured a MACUSA official, and has left a series of clues for you to follow that will lead you to where the official is being held. You have three hours to solve the Dark wizard’s puzzle, or the official will be killed.

Ms. Lilywhite is playing the Dark Wizard, and Mr. Elmasry is the Kidnapped Official.

Everyone is given a tracking card and the same clue to start with, and what results is a complicated scavenger hunt, with riddles and puzzle to solve. Senior pairs must hit the 12 points of the scavenger hunt, where freshmen are waiting with a little stamp for the tracking card, as well as the next clue. If you make it through all 12 points, you will be able to “find” Ms. Lilywhite and Mr. Elmasry (whom she insisted on actually tying to a chair) waiting in the Atrium. Ms. Lilywhite will then duel the “Aurors” (she’s taking it easy on you, don’t worry) and if you defeat her, congratulations! You’ve won!

What have you won? A handful of leftover halloween candy, it looks like. But then Ms. Lilywhite will look at you two with a genuine, if calculating, smile, and say why don’t you two join her for tea and coffee after dinner? She’d love to talk to you about your career goals and future. Have you considered going into law enforcement? She thinks you have what it takes.

THE RULES

Students are placed in pairs, you are pretending to be Auror partners on a case.
No skipping stages. This leads to automatic disqualification
You can try to undermine your competition through misinformation, but you can’t physically interfere with them.
We will let you know whether or not your characters reached the final stage to try and save Senator Elmasry. If they do, RNG will determine if they manage to defeat Dark Wizard Lilywhite.

The senior pairings are as follows:

Robin & Rafael	Quinn & Magdalen	Cressida & Asher
Dahlia & Ryan	Ravinder & Penelope	Cecil & Ivy
Ty & Irene	Jeremiah & Theresa	Zoey & Jesse
Laurel & Isaiah	Henrietta & Wilhelmina	Iris & Tabitha
Wesley & Diego	Beatrix & Nathaniel	Levi & Leonardo
	Sun-mi & Christopher

We’re getting rid of number scores for the time being. Instead, describe how your character performed with the following:

Character:
Partner:
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?:
What did they do well at?:
What did they struggle with?:

Character: Partner: Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: What did they do well at?: What did they struggle with?:

ROBIN & RAFAEL

Character: Robin Youngblood
Partner: Rafael Ramirez
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Both
What did they do well at?: Robin is ALL KINDS OF ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THIS, which means instead of being a total dick and fucking with Rafael the entire time, he immediately lets Raf take the lead because he clearly likes yelling at people to do things more than Robin does. When it comes to the riddles, he gives outside-the-box (batshit crazy) answers, but he's not stuck on them. He's flexible and willing to try your boring/normal/probably correct ones as long as we're allowed to go try my stupid one after ok. If they make it to dueling, Robin is also pretty good at that. In fact, that's probably when he would be an actual asset to the team. Don't make him look at WORDS, just let him do things.
What did they struggle with?: Robin doesn't ever want to try the most obvious answer, or the easiest answer, and wastes some of their time trying to prove, like, why they CAN'T be talking about that Atrium, because otherwise someone would've just gone there and FOUND them already. He also likes to do things the hard way. Oh, is there a clue in the tree? Robin's already halfway up the tree trying to get to it instead of using, you know, magic. And he's not the best with puzzles. If something takes too long to figure out, he'll get frustrated and want to throw it in the water or something.

DO YOU KNOW HOW INTO THIS ROBIN IS? ROBIN IS SO INTO THIS, and he is taking it serious as FUCK. Congrats Raf, this is probably the first time having Robin as a partner isn't just a death sentence.
