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.

	"I didn't know you had a gentleman setting," she teased. In a rare moment of prudence, she neither took another drink or admitted that getting drunk was definitely not a prerequisite for making out with him before she continued. "And I'm not totally convinced your intentions are gentleman-y right now either." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You'd be surprised as fuck by how 'gentleman-y' I can be," Sy teases back, although he does mean it. Tomorrow, everyone will be able to see that Sylvester Stoker can enunciate his words properly, and fill his sentences with "yes sir" and "no sir" instead of F-bombs. These thoughts have been souring his mood all week, but he feels warm now, right in that sweet spot where alcohol makes you feel pleasant instead of stupid.

Not that what he's doing right now could be called smart. Sy grins at her. "But if you're so fuckin' smart, then tell me. What kinda intentions do you think I've got right now?"
