UNSANCTIONED CAMPING



UNSANCTIONED CAMPING

This is almost certainly a bad idea, but when faced with the arrival of family members the next day, who doesn't need to relieve a little stress? After curfew, some students slip out to the wooded area between Azurcrest and the sorting cave. There's a scattering of tents, and in the middle a campfire blazes.

The mood isn't as wild as a Grotto party, and most of the entertainment is found in sitting, talking, and drinking. Alcohol is available in reasonable amounts, enough for everyone to have a drink or two (or three if you really need it).

» Around the fire: The forest doesn't have the same warming effect as the Grotto, but it feels very... normal? Just woods and trees and the hoot of an owl. Are you relieved, or do you feel lonely?

» BERTIE BOTT'S EVERY FLAVOUR BEANS: Someone got their hands on a family sized bag of these imported sweets. At first, it's just taken to be candy, but as the truth about these jelly beans is fully understood, it becomes a spectacle.
  • There's a group of students sitting in a circle, passing the bag around. The idea is that you take one, and then everyone waits in anticipation for your reaction. (Let's be real, they're all hoping you get earwax or cigarette ash.) You must then guess what it is before passing the bag to the left.

  • In game terms, this means reply to the root comment, and we will use RNG to pick out a flavor for you. You can then write your character's reaction and attempt to identify what they just put in their mouth.

  • Official results for your random flavor could come from Diego ([info]morale), Sy ([info]stokers), or the mod journal ([info]goosemods).
» The Tents: The magically warmed tents make another appearance. They're filled with pillows and blankets and should be pleasant to sleep in.

» The Morning: In the early hours of the morning, students (hopefully) begin to sneak back to their campgrounds, and (maybe) avoid the eyes of vigilant prefects.

» Did you get in trouble?: If you did, reply here. The punishment will be two nights of detention starting Monday, and a loss of 10 house points per student. Visiting parents will also find out about the indiscretion.

» OOC: Questions, comments & concerns.

Sy needs a fuckin' break, which means as soon as he's able to do it without getting caught, he's sneaking out of Reid's window, with Reid and a half-full bottle of whiskey in tow. And his flask, which he's keeping to himself after throwing the bottle into Morales' party stash. Sy hasn't gotten properly drunk in over a week, and that's his one goal tonight.

He's been a tense and cranky storm cloud lately, even during Quidditch practices. Especially during Quidditch practices. Tonight, he seems a little more like himself, and will be chatting with people and hanging out and not trying to fight anyone since he needs to get to tomorrow without any bruises. (Reid, help him out here.) This is Sy being downright friendly tonight. What could go wrong? Nothing could go wrong! He just wants a break.

[Open to multiple! Grab him before his sister does ):]

Reid is only here because of Sy. Where Sy is more relaxed than normal, Reid is more tense, although maybe it's hard to tell. He made some vague promises to get Sy back home and keep him from getting in trouble, and it feels like a lot of pressure. (Did he remember to say those promises out loud? He's not sure.) For most of the night, he sits with Sy, but remains very low maintenance.

Sy's the only reason Reid didn't flunk out last year, and the only reason that his grades have maintained a C-average this year. He's serious about returning the favor. This is possibly the most proactive he's been in months, aside from looming Quidditch tryouts.

He kicks Sy's foot. "Having fun?"

"Time of my fuckin' life." Sy's got that tone that makes it difficult to tell if he's happy or angry. He's smiling, but his posture is anything but relaxed. He looks like he's ready for a fight, and there's a split second after Reid kicks him that Sy gives him that are you fuckin' starting something look.

But he lets it go. What the shit does it matter now? "Come Monday, I'll be back in L.A. and everyone will remember me as the worst goddamn captain Coppertale's ever had. Even worse than that jackass in freshman year who decided you should be Seeker." Sy pauses. "Toast to that asshole, wherever he is now." He swigs from his flask, and passes it to Reid.

Reid doesn't flinch when Sy looks ready for a fight. His prophecy about getting sent home, though, does elicit a small frown.

"They're not pulling you out." He says this like he knows it, and takes the flask from Sy for a drink. The alcohol hits the back of his throat, and Reid cringes and shakes his head. "There are still tons of games left to prove you don't suck."

"I know I don't suck," Sy snarls, which isn't really what Reid said, but Sy's mood is tipping back towards angry. Surprise, Sy in a cheerful mood is always two steps away from getting pissed off. "There isn't any fuckin' sport I can't play. I've done everything. Everything. They ran out of sports to put me in, because I was too good at everything."

He's also probably kind of drunk by this point. Sy's telling the truth about playing in almost every sport his parents could sign him up for, but the Stokers only "ran out of sports" because every time he and Rosy played in a new little league, they got way too competitive and ruined it for everyone else.

He sighs. "They don't play Quidditch at my old school. It's shit as hell."

When Chloe reaches for the same bottle as Sy, she yanks her hand back like it's on fire. "Hi, I just- Yeah, sorry. Sorry!" she says, looking like a wide eyed deer that would bolt if the headlights weren't so bright.

As it happens, Sy is used to people being scared of him. He's unruffled. "If that's your shitty beer pick, you can have it, girl." He lets his hand hover over the other paltry choices lined up, and picks one he's reasonably confident will have more alcohol than piss in it.

He waggles his bottle at Chloe in a kind of salute. "Morales really needed to plan this shit better if he wanted to get us all drunk."

"Chloe," she says, then kind of wishes she hadn't. Maybe Stokers only make her cry when they know her name?

"I mean, all the beer kinda tastes shitty to me, so, you know, it doesn't make much of a difference." She taps her bottle against his. No wait no, they were supposed to be saluting, not cheersing, whoops. "I think it was less a planning thing and more a parent panic thing."

Sy raises his eyebrows, as though he hadn't expected Chloe to say anything back. "I know what your name is," he says. "We share half of our classes, Shepherd. Plus you've always got Ro yelling 'Chloe!' after you."

The bottle tap makes him smile, though. Congrats, Chloe, you've now trapped yourself in a conversation with Sy when he would've normally just moved on. "Yeah. Guess so. What the fuck can anyone do when there's parent panic?" In answer, Sy pops the cap from his bottle, and holds the bottle opener out to Chloe. "You trying to go unconscious, or just having fun?"

Clem's a little late to the party, but eventually she manages to give her prefect the slip. When she does show up, she comes with a bottle of Bourbon, which she's drinking straight out of the bottle, because it is that kind of night.

"Hey," she says as she plops down right next to Sy. She hefts the bottle up for inspection. "This is... super gross, and I hate it. Why do we drink this?"

If Sy were the type of guy to fall in love at first sight, a five-foot-one Chaser walking through the trees with a bottle of bourbon to her lips might have done it for him. He sits up immediately when Clem comes near.

"Because we're trying to get shitfaced?" Sy inspects the beer bottle in his hand, and sighs. "Except I might actually be getting sober again because this beer is so rancid, it slowed down my drinking."

"Oh yeah, that's right," she says and takes another drink from the bottle. She clears her throat and presses a hand to her mouth. Still gross. Getting slightly less burn-y by the mouthful. And while her alcohol tolerance is decent for her size, she's definitely well on the way to shitfaced.

"Good," she says. "I was worried everyone was going to have a head start on me."

"Oh well shit, now I gotta be a gentleman and stop drinking this shitty beer." He digs his bottle into the snow beside him, and takes this opportunity to slide closer to Clem, moving his arm behind her back so he's leaning over her. "Though you're gonna have us all beat soon if you down that whole bottle. Not criticism. I'm a fuckin' gentleman, Decourt, I totally respect your right to put whatever the fuck you want in your body, even if it gets you shitfaced enough to make out with me."

Rosy is not here to ruin the party for everyone. Biggest Buzzkill in School is not a title she feels like claiming right now. She’ll settle for Biggest Buzzkill in Ribbonfin, though, because she is here to ruin the party for any unfortunate roommate of hers that thought they could sneak past her. Come on guy(s), she hasn’t gone to sleep before 3:00 AM all week, you really think she didn’t hear you slip out and never return? You really think she didn’t already hear about this stupid camping party from a certain freshman (it's Braydyn, it's obviously Braydyn) who might not be everyone’s favorite but sure as hell knows the right people to suck up to?

So Rosy finds her way to the illegal camping trip thanks to a tip from her new favorite snitch, determined to take anyone under her supervision and drag them back to their campsite, because the day her parents come to school is not the day they also find any of her girls half-eaten by bears or ghosts or ghost bears in the woods.

But the Ribbonfin junior girls might be in luck today. Or they’re just reaping the benefits of someone else’s bad luck. Because Rosy finds the fire and the tents and the group of kids shoving mystery candy in their mouths, and before she sees a single one of her girls, she spots someone she honestly should have expected, but who she really didn’t expect to see there. Someone big, dumb, and related to her.

And the look on her face goes from annoyed to deadly. The grinding of her teeth can probably be heard over the laughter of the others gathered around the campfire. If these two have any kind of weirdo twin senses at all, Sy can probably feel some amorphous ball of anger coming in his direction. If he’s smart, he’ll take cover. ... Sy is rarely smart.

“Sylvester Orfeo Stoker,” Rosy hisses at the back of his head, in a voice that is eerily similar to their mother’s. “What the fuck?”

The hairs stand up on the back of Sy's neck. Or maybe it's just the fact that he hears his mother's voice coming from behind him while he's drunk in the woods. He's not sober enough to figure out if PTC somehow started early, or wonder why the hell his mother, who never goes out the door in anything but expensive French stilettos, would be walking around the woods at this hour. Oh god, he's fucked up. Oh god, he's getting the belt when Dad hears about this.

Thankfully, that ice-cold jolt of fear only lasts until he twists around and sees Rosy standing behind him. "Fuckin' shit," Sy says, sounding more relieved than annoyed, because he's an idiot and doesn't realize when he's in trouble. "I just thought you were... Never mind who I thought you were. Dude, did you just middle name me?"

Oh Sy, you absolute idiot. Rosy is actually thrown off by the fact that Sy immediately sounds relieved. Does he not realize what he's doing is against the rules, or does he think that because she's gone to two whole parties now Rosy is a chill, fun prefect?

Because she's not. She really, really is not.

And it kind of just pisses her off a little more.

"I sure as fuck did," she snaps, and her jaw is clenched so hard her teeth are probably going to just crumble into dust soon. "What in the hell do you think you're doing out here?"
