Characters: Everyone!
Setting: Great Hall, evening of Saturday, 30 October
Content: SFW
Summary: Everybody parties at the Halloween Ball!

This is your ball post, everyone! Here's how this will go.

Different locations in the Great Hall will be posted as separate comments, which will include a little description of each. These will be the Entrance Hall, the Dance Floor, and the Tables. You should reply to any/all of these comments with your character, and if other characters reply to that subthread, they are interacting with your character. Please indicate in the subject whether your character's subthread is open or whether it has participants in mind already (EG, maybe John is at the ball and taking a break from dancing at the tables, waiting to see if someone comes up to him, so the title for his comment would be "Jack/Open", but maybe Jill is meeting Adam at the ball, so she would reply to the Entrance Hall thread with "Jill/Adam" in the subject).

Please wait to reply the ball until all the comment locations are up. Backdating of threads/journals related to the ball is allowed until Tuesday, and posting placeholders is not allowed. If you have any questions, feel free to PM the mod account!

Fabian, like probably some others amongst the notoriously stubborn Gryffindors, had chosen his costume on the basis that there would be very few inhabitants of the castle - if any, in fact - who would be able to recognise him (that was also the case when he was out of costume, but never mind that). He secretly got a kick out of the fact that not only would his costume confuse the majority of the students if they asked who it was, but that his costume was undeniably, well... scruffy. Argus Filch had nothing on him.

Though initially she wasn't going to attend the ball, Ursula thought the better of it after striking a nerve with the Head Boy a few days back. He had docked her house points, which frankly didn't really phase her in the slightest, but the fact he brought Felicity into the equation was even more amusing. Ursula reluctantly conceded to cutting the Head Boy some slack, but that didn't mean she wouldn't pester others behind his back.

Since it was such short notice, Ursula decided to swindle a fellow Slytherin fourth year out of her costume. It was one thing to outsmart someone, a completely different can of worms to outsmart a Slytherin someone. Luckily Ursula knew precisely what angle to work, and she managed to convince the younger student her Morgan le Fay costume wasn't near as flattering as her Medusa costume. Ursula offered to transfigure her hair into serpents, but the frazzled girl declined the gesture and handed her Morgan costume over to a pseudo gracious recipient. Once she drank down a draft of Blundus, she had the appropriate hair colour and was ready to go. Well, after a few drinks of course!

Ursula showed up in time to see her peers gawking at each others costumes. "Joy," she mumbled to herself, striking the ground with the staff she'd transfigured from her roommate's vintage flying broom. It wasn't until she glanced beside her that Ursula caught the sight of a rather strange looking costume. She'd hoped it was a costume anyway because otherwise it would mean some creeper managed to bust into the castle. "Let me guess. You're going as a homeless person, yeah?" she asked the ratty individual.

Fabian/Ursula/Gideon

Gideon had struggled somewhat with a costume for the ball before finally making a decision. The Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz had been his first attempt, but his allergies did not agree with having straw stuffed in his clothes and on top of his head. As awesome as it would have looked, Gideon didn't want to spend the whole night sneezing or with itchy eyes. Ultimately, he'd ended up going with his brother's plan and dressed as the other half to his costume. It was fitting for them, and comfortable to boot, so all in all it had been the best choice for him.

He propped an arm on Fabian's shoulder as he walked up behind his twin when he overheard Ursula Flint make a bit of a jab at his brother's attire. They looked pretty smashing in all their scruffiness, if he did say so himself. He lifted an eyebrow at her. "Outlaws, actually."
