JUNIOR MONTHLY BONDING

JUNIOR BONDING

JUNIOR EBONHIDES AND JUNIOR RIBBONFINS: Archery
At 4:30 PM, all the students walk out to the field for archery with Mr. Thorn, who explains that they’re going to have an exciting archery contest. Everyone gets three shots to prove themselves. The winner will be named Robin Hood, and will be given a hat just like the Disney character, and a bag of chocolate coins.

There will also be a prize for the worst shot, who will be named Sheriff of Nottingham, and will receive a sheriff’s badge and another bag of chocolate coins. Soon, the competition for Sheriff becomes as heated as the one for the title of Robin.

Winners will be chosen based on RNG with a dash of IC description influencing the roll. When you post your description of what your character did, please rate their personal performance on a scale of 1-10. If you don't include the score somewhere, your character won't be considered for either prize.

JUNIOR AZURCRESTS AND JUNIOR COPPERTALES: Egg Drop
Overseen by Mr. Oakes, the students are given access to the craft and (non-magical) artificing supplies to try and build a non-magical container that will protect an egg when they drop it out one of the high windows of the lodge. As usual, Oakes is fun and engaging, but for the round that “counts,” kids can only use what he gives them for their safety vessels. He later holds a “For Fun” round, where he allows magic and supplies anyone’s willing to sacrifice from their dorm rooms.

The winning team receives a set of plastic crowns, transfigured to feature an egg motif. (Winners will be chosen based on RNG with a dash of IC description influencing the roll. When you post your description of what your character did, please rate their personal performance on a scale of 1-10.)

Students are divided into teams of two or three. The teams are as follows:

Addy & Saira & Sy	Coralee & Olivia & Riley
Dom & Harriet & Reece	Katya & Reid

Ursula has not miraculously become an outdoors woman since the recent adoption of Wormsula. (Status update: Wormsula is still alive and very much still an inch worm.)

Archery looks easy. When it's her turn, she rubs her hands together and picks up the bow and arrow, mimicking everyone else's movements. She spends.. a very long time eyeing the target until someone [volunteer?] yells at her to get a move on. She snaps back at them and manages to NOT loose her arrow early. After a few more moments of eyeing and wiggling in preparation, she finally takes her shot... only to have the arrow sadly and gracefully arc its way a foot or so away from her.

SCORE: 5 for drama. 1 for athleticism.

You know who's mad she's not in Archery Club? ROSY IS. But, okay, it's not like she's never done this before, it's not like she can't figure this out and win this stupid contest.

Rosy puts her fucking Game Face on, takes a deep breath, and focuses the fuck in. But, like, it has been a while since she's done this shit, so she's not very steady and tbh her aim is mediocre.

SCORE: 7 ~~but only if Sy gets docked a point for being a dick she won't accept a lower score than him~~

	If Meggie docks Sy by more than one point, I'm deleting this whole game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Katya would have cheered for a moment if she saw this happening. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Rosy. Rosy is your accidental attempted murder victim. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SERIOUS ESCALATION FROM PILLOW THROWING, CHLOE. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
