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 (morale), Sy (stokers), or the mod journal (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.

	Laurel glances around the fire for someone who feels right. "Okay. I'm still so --" She makes a twinspeak-y gesture to signify !!!!. "I mean, Chris and Robin are here? But they'd be like..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"... rrr let's go to the Grotto," Ivy agrees in a bad imitation of Laurel's earlier delivery. "I guess we could tell... like... Cricket? About it tomorrow?" She's having a hard time coming up with someone who would use this information responsibly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Cricket!" says Laurel, maybe a little too loud. "Yeah!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Shh-hhh-hhhhh," Ivy hushes. Yelling Cricket's name at an illicit party is probably about as dangerous as yelling fire in a crowded room. Once she's suitably sure nobody's listening to them again, she continues: "Yeah, Cricket's good. She's keeping track of everything, so she'd want to know. Or maybe someone who knows a lot about magical creatures? ... what has hooves?" Besides, like. The literal devil. She's writing that off for now.

	"Mooses?" Ivy says. "They're big." But not magical, probably. She's ignoring that part for now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oooh!" Ivy said. "Yeah! I wonder if animagus footprints would show up like that. That's something we can test, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Laurel now remembers ~THE TURTLE~ and breaks into a huge grin. She doesn't even have to say it, probably. (Reply to this) (Parent)
