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.

Ty & Quinn

"You will." Quinn promises, coy, running a hand through the back of his hair. She peers down the hill toward the trails and other camps and huffs a quiet sigh that's dangerously close to sounding sulky; if she delays Ty much longer he'll definitely have to face Rafael and nobody needs that right now. Especially not today, and especially not either boy. She reaches up to plant a kiss up his cheek and declares, "Your window's almost gone, Hawkeswood. I'm kicking you out after... this."

Quinn knows that the privacy they're about to lose is rare, and she... hell, just kind of goes for broke. She kisses Ty, eager and deep enough that might it have been more appropriate at the beginning of the night (read: behind the closed doors of an empty cabin) as opposed to now (read: on the camp balcony, basically in public). Before she resolves to break away, the kiss softens, gentle, and her hand slides down from grasping at his jacket's collar to lay on his chest, her fingers stroking the skin above his shirt.

This should have been an 'oh no' moment for her. Instead, she's still too caught up in everything night to recognize what's happening — and by the time she realizes it, much later, there isn't much to be done.

It doesn't occur to Ty what the intensity of that kiss means either, but he's drawn into it immediately and returns it without reservation until Quinn's lips draw back from his. He looks dazed and blissful and he touches the hand she's placed on his chest, first pressing it there and then turning it gently so he can hold it in his own. "Quinn..." he begins, voice soft and breathy, not even knowing what he means to say. Then there's a long pause. Then he laughs softly instead and jokes, "You're sending me away after that? You're cruel."

Slowly, he lowers their hands and then lets hers go. Then he exhales a breath and smiles and steals another quick kiss. "Okay. Okay. Remind me that your roommates will be back soon? And that Raf'll be pissed if I'm late? And that I care because he's my friend?"

Quinn lets her hand linger on his for a moment, curling one finger around another with a smile, before she distances herself from Ty (for once) with a step because that's the only damn way he's going to make it in time. "That's why they made me a Prefect." Realizing that that could be misinterpreted, she backs it up with, "The cruel streak, not the kissing."

She leans back against the door frame — look at all that responsible space between them! "And more; hell, I think even Honeychurch starts running around this time. Risking the wraths of your bestie and Papa Bird, in the same morning? You really should've left by now." She chews on a fingernail for something to do that doesn't involve pulling Ty back into the cabin, as her smile shifts into a goofy grin. "They'll know exactly what you were up to, too, when they see your shirt's on the wrong way. I'm not letting you back in here to fix it, either — it's motivation to get that ass back to Coppertale." Aaand cue the exaggerated wink at the mention of his, ah, physique.
