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.

Rosy rolls her eyes. "You're some kind of pig," she mutters under her breath. "I'm taking some of your bacon as a tax."

She reaches over to his plate, grabbing a strip of bacon. She looks up to give Casey a good "fuck you" eyebrow raise, and then just...freezes. The bacon drops from her fingers. She has nothing to say and has clearly forgotten what she was going for literally seconds ago.

	Uh, no, that's Casey's bacon. He makes this point by shoving the entire piece in his mouth in one go. "What's your–" a pause so he can chew and then swallow the entire piece of bacon in one more go. "What's your damage, Stokes?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Rosy doesn't care about the bacon. Casey can have all the bacon he wants. When you've got a face like that, and biceps, and abs, and goddamn what didn't he have--shit, when you looked like that, you could have anything you wanted.

"I guess I just wanted a piece." Rosy winks at Casey, biting her lip as she stifles a smirk. And, um. Is that her foot under the table, rubbing against Casey's leg? Oh my.

Casey may not be the brightest, but he's an experienced flirt. Why is Rosy initiating it, though? — is totally not a question that crosses his mind. Instead, his inner monologue is more like 'Hell yeah, it's about time.'

He slides his feet off the chair and turns toward Rosy, making no attempt to hide his own smirk. "I can help out." Yes, Casey Patterson is (totally not) suave as hell.

Why is Rosy initiating it? Why isn't Rosy initiating it? She lets her left arm fall to the table, her finger gently brushing along his forearm, and scoots closer. Was it possible for her to move closer? Apparently.

"God, you're so funny," she says, though that's a lie and she's not laughing at all, she's more just...intensely all up in his business. "I bet you want to help me out, you're so helpful, too."

Rosy Stoker coming onto him at breakfast? Aside from this definitely being a fantasy, to Casey it seems utterly normal. Of COURSE she's initiating it, because he's a fuckin' catch.

Casey's reciprocation is in a different galaxy than 'subtle.' He snakes his free hand around her waist to pull her closer still, and leans in. "Yeah, Stokes, I'm gonna help you real well." He thought that 'help' was kind of a weird euphemism but didn't think too hard on it; her brother was weird, she was weird. It was probably some weird Stoker thing.

Sy returns after Rosy shamed him into getting tea, which means he's several minutes behind everyone when it comes to the effects kicking in. Not that Sy has any idea that's what happening right now, all Sy sees now is Casey pawing at his sister when Rosy would definitely, absolutely not welcome this kind of attention.

"Patterson! What the FUCK." Without a second thought, Sy grabs Casey by the arm and tries to haul him to his feet.

	Casey looks shocked for a split-second before his face breaks into one of the most shit-eating grins he's ever been able to muster up. He tries to wrest his hand out of Sy's grip, replying "She wanted help, Stoker." As if that's a worthy explanation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rosy leaps to her feet, knocking her chair flat on its back. "SYLVESTER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she yells, louder than is strictly necessary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sy winces. "Holy shit, Ro. Indoor voice." He points at Casey's shitty-looking face. "Listen to him! He's talking about you like you asked to get felt up by this loser." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Don't talk about him like he's a loser," she says through gritted teeth. She also points at Casey's not-at-all-shitty-looking face. "I love him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Rosy & Casey stokers 2016-11-27 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	Sy stares at her for a second, dumbfounded. He knows Rosy better than anyone—they're twins, they never had any choice about that. "What the shit." Sy retracts his arm, only to wind up and throw a punch at Casey's face. "Did you give my sister a FUCKIN' LOVE POTION?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Casey usually gives Sy shit for being a weakling. Casey doesn't want to admit that Sy is probably actually a lot stronger than he is. Casey was too busy being a smug jerk to realize what was coming, and as a result, doubled over when the hit came.

"Fucking NO!" He actually looks offended. "Are you retarded? You heard of consent, asshole?" Cricket's tutelage was working wonders, but maybe it had a little bit more to go.

Should he punch Sy back? He looked at Rosy. He normally would, but today... what if that made Rosy mad? He doesn't want to make Rosy mad. But he also wants to punch her brother. This was probably the first moral dilemma of Casey's life.

	Oh no, if anyone's punching Sy it's Rosy. She elbows Casey out of the way, standing firm between two dudes who could easily just hit each other over her head. "Don't you dare hit him again. If you hurt that face I will ACTUALLY KILL YOU." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Fuckin' shit." Sy is going to murder someone. "Ro, seriously, this is not you. Casey Patterson? You think he's the fuckin' worst!" Sy doesn't want to drag Rosy from this scene—they'll mud-wrestle, sure, but using his strength against Rosy like that would break their unspoken twin code.

Instead, he looks around for help—and for some inexplicable reason, freezes at the sight of a petite redhead girl. "Hang on, I gotta... go. Do not fuckin' make out or..."

Sy just leaves instead of finishing his sentence.
