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.

Up until this moment, Jacob hadn't realized how very fascinating musicians were. He's always been far more prone to losing himself in books than music, but if Isaiah's a pianist then maybe there's a huge gaping hole in Jacob's life that he never realized was there. He releases Isaiah's hand only enough to turn it over so he can examine it with absolute wonder. "Would you really? Is right now too soon?"

"I would love to," Isaiah replies quickly, before he's really thought about the words. Thinking about them now, he realizes that they are absolutely, perfectly true. He really would like nothing better than to have Jacob watch him, listen to him play. Alone. Together. "It's not soon enough," he confesses, smiling. "But are you sure you've eaten enough? I don't want you to go hungry!"

The concern about his well-being takes Jacob by surprise and he ducks his head shyly. "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." But then self-doubt kicks in. Isaiah is fit and Jacob still sees a scrawny nerd whenever he looks in the mirror. How is this guy even paying attention to him? "Well, I mean, if you want me to eat something else I could." But that would mean letting go of Isaiah's hand and Jacob would rather starve than do that right now.

	"I want you," Isaiah says with complete earnestness, "to be happy. Whatever you want to do, Jacob. Truly." The way Jacob just ducked his head is so cute that Isaiah can hardly think straight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That gets Jacob snapping his head back up quickly. "I, uh." Even after his brain processes Isaiah's sentence fully, he can still feel the heat in his cheeks. Maybe elsewhere. He rubs the back of his neck with his free hand, but it's not helping make his thoughts any clearer. "Uh. Yeah? That's cool. I mean, I'm really happy right now. Just being here with you." He takes this opportunity to interlace his fingers with Isaiah's. "Too bad there's not a piano in the cafeteria."

	The blush is also adorable. Isaiah wants to touch it. In fact, he is going to touch it, apparently; his free hand is lifting to brush fingertips along Jacob's cheek and jawline. He can't help himself. "We can go," he offers, still smiling. "If you like." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. Okay. Now there's an incredibly handsome guy touching Jacob's face. This is the most confusingly wonderful breakfast ever. And Isaiah is smiling at him and he's smiling back and Jacob realizes that he needs to say some actual words. It's his turn to say words. "That's. That's a great idea."

	"Okay," Isaiah says (again? He's not sure. What are words?) He keeps smiling at Jacob for several very long moments before he realizes that that means standing. He does do without letting go of Jacobs hand. He may never do that again. Which will make it difficult to play, but. Priorities. (Reply to this) (Parent)
