ACCIDENTAL AMORTENTIA

At breakfast, there are pots of magically warmed relaxation tea that students are welcome to try. Apparently, it’s the project of a few freshmen Potions whiz kids, and they say they’re developing magical aromatherapy by way of herbal tea. Everyone agrees the tea smells amazing, although oddly, they all seem to think it smells completely different. Oh no.

The tea has been laced with small amounts of Amortentia. All characters who drank it become infatuated with a nearby classmate after a 15–20 minute delay. The freshmen were actually testing a time-delay version of Amortentia, and have used the upperclassmen as guinea pigs. They are in sooooooo much trouble.

The effects of the potion come on fast and without warning after the 15–20 minute delay. The person who drank the potion appears "pale and sickly" and becomes obsessed with the object of their affections, speaking of them as though "hit by a ray of purest sunlight." They may also act excited or dangerously unstable towards others.

Teachers are scrambling to maintain order, and all students are asked to remain in the lodge while this situation is investigated. They’ll be mostly trying to make sure no students under the influence of the potion get, uh, too carried away. The lodge is littered with deliriously happy couples, students sobbing over their rejection, and jealous arguing.

Students who took Amortentia will remain in the lodge supervised overnight. Anyone who didn’t will be told to return to their cabins for a remarkably prefect- and staff-free evening (unless your house prefects didn't drink the tea, in which case, try not to cause trouble!).

THE RULES

If necessary, communicate with your partner OOC to make sure everyone's comfortable!
Please keep things PG-13! Affected characters will not have any opportunities to have sex.
Teachers will break up any pairs getting too hot and heavy. If necessary, you can say a teacher separated characters (without getting mod approval first), or request staff intervention.
All teachers and staff are in the lodge maintaining order. Your characters may be able to sneak into an empty classroom, but there is a strong chance of getting caught.
Classes are cancelled for the whole day.
All affected students are spending the entire day and night in the lodge. Sleeping bags are provided. If staff believes two students might attempt to canoodle, they will be forced to sleep in separate rooms.
If your character is not on the list and you want to say they drank the tea, feel free! We just won't be randomizing any matches for you, but you can plot with other players for one. :)

» Morning: A number of the students help themselves to the tea that's been set out. Within twenty minutes, something seems off, as your fellows suddenly grow unusually affectionate.

» Afternoon: Things are in full swing now, with staff, prefects and volunteer students trying to keep the peace.

» Evening/Night: The teachers are just hoping all of this wore out the students, because it sure wore them out. Sleeping bags have been conjured for everyone staying the night (characters affected by Amortentia may not leave), and the teachers are taking shifts to watch the students.

» Elsewhere: If your character did not drink the potion, they're free to go elsewhere on campus.

Re: Avery & Asher & Hopefully a friend she can talk to!

Now that he's said something and now that he's close enough to see every perfect detail of her perfect face, Asher realizes that his super suave entrance might be completely marred by the fact that he hadn't really thought of a follow-up. At least she says he can sit, though, so that's a start. He does just that, pulling at his ascot a bit as he does so. He looks just as pale and unwell as her but is, of course, completely unaware. Plus even pale and sickly looking Avery is so beautiful he's not even thinking about how he looks.

"Asher yeah - just picking up the newsletter again." He's still smiling brightly, even if his brain is working overtime to focus on forming words that are a little more sophisticated than 'you pretty.' There's no sign he's picking up on her awkwardness at all. "I do know you, actually. At some point I had that Transfiguration book you needed from the library so I passed it off to you once I was done."

He takes a deep breath, gives her a renewed charming smile. "I just... um. I felt like I just had to come talk to you. I thought it was silly we haven't spoken to each other much."
