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.

"Chlllllooooooe." Trixie yells out as she slides over to Chloe when she spots her across the small camp area. Robin was here, of course Trixie was, like she'd stay at home. Her smoothie in her hand, Trixie is just a little over excited because hey, her family will be here soon. So that's what she wants to talk about. "My brother is coming! He so wants to talk to you." Of course Trixie talked up Chloe and her awesome writing, she talked the hell up about Chloe. "Brendon is like the best most chill person ever, you'll love him!"

Trixie looked at the horrible choice in drinks and sighed. "I have alcoholic smoothies in my bag." Oh yeah she has a bag of random drinks, she came prepared.

	"Trixie!!" Chloe says, leaning in to give her an excited one armed hug. Then she looks some combination of panicked and excited. "Hewantstotalktome?" she squeaks, wide eyed. "REALLY?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh yeah!" Trixie had talked all about Chloe, Chloe was amazing and Trixie thought so too. Soon Brendon would think so too. Well if Brendon wasn't totally out of it like sometimes, what could she say, she grew up in a house of Azurcrests! They were just like that. "He's suuuuuper excited to be coming. Plus I would have gotten him to meet you sometime this summer. We can go to a con or something!"
