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.

Isaiah glances back up in just enough time to catch the tail-end of that unsuppressed smile. It's nice. He wants to see it again. Maybe there's some Amortentia still lingering in his system.

Probably not.

"Perhaps," he says thoughtfully, still looking sideways at Jacob over the rim of his drink, "but I think I'm...acquiring it." Wow. Did that sound as bad to Jacob as it did to him once he said it? Isaiah snorts at himself, shaking his head. "Sorry. I'm not great at this."

Lucky for Isaiah, neither of them are smooth dudes and Jacob has fully accepted this. But the implication of 'this' does embolden Jacob a little and he looks back at Isaiah with his best cocky Coppertale smirk. (It could use some work.)

"It's cool." He gestures to the tents as he continues, aware of their far-too-intimate nature, but he doubts either of them intends to spend the night on the forest floor. "Do you wanna go somewhere quieter and talk or whatever?" ...Okay, probably just talk, but maybe whatever.

"That would be good," Isaiah agrees, relieved. Given the option, he'll always opt for 'quieter.' "Do you think the tents are claimed, or forst come first serve?"

Only one way to find out. He starts to turn away to go over, and then- emboldened by the drink, or how out-of-character all of this is for him, or just the smirk Jacob is giving him- reaches to grab the other boy's hand.

The smirk only gets worse when Jacob feels Isaiah take his hand and he steps in to follow him. He'd thought Isaiah might excuse himself at the prospect of the tents, so this is quite a surprise. A nice one.

"If they're all taken, just look for one with freshmen in it," he offers, leaning in unnecessarily close. "Pretty sure I can at least intimidate some freshmen."

(Wanna get this wrapped up and we can figure out anything that needs figured out over email? :D)

	Isaiah laughs again, unexpected and unexpectedly fond. "My hero," he offers, a little irony in his tone along with the laughter. He's making fun of both of them, together, and it's oddly nice. "Let's see what we can do." (Absolutely. We can FTB any time you want at this point, I think.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
