The Dresden Inquisition

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
James Walsh
Who: Prof. James Walsh, Prof. Templeton Morse, Madelyn, Tina, Anastas, Hawthorne, Cinna, Addy, Bernadine, Carly, Marina, Luka, and Sighard.
What: The professors begin the Dresden Inquisition in an effort to figure out who was behind the office party.
When/Where: During the day April 2nd. The respective offices of Professors Walsh and Morse.
Rating: SFW


It didn't take very long for the headmistress to feel her blood pressure reach an all new high. The students had done an impressive job of ruining her office and it was clearly a highly organized effort if only a handful of them had been caught.

She needed to set up the inquisition and she had two professors in mind who could do it quickly and effectively. She let them into her office to see the handiwork done and gave them the names of the students who had been caught covered in paint returning to their dorms in the wee hours of April 1st. From there they could ask the entire student body or simply weed out the obvious troublemakers to make an example of; either way she wanted this resolved. )

Office Party

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Luka stupid cute
Who: All of the students
What: The kids pull of a rather impressive protest/April Fool's prank
Where/When: Jillian Hulett's office. After curfew on April 1st.
Rating: NSFW

It took Luka exactly one afternoon to formulate a plan. The timing was almost perfect and after spit-balling around with Sighard he had a grand smirk on his face. The students would be ripe for rebellion by the time he activated the plan that Sighard codenamed: Hurricane Hulett.

They were going to have a party during their grounding. They were probably going to get caught. The upshot was that they'd all be there and as their headmistress said, she couldn't very well expel the entire student body. But the best part was that they were going to do it in Jillian Hulett's office.

He devised a charm with his top advisers that would allow the students to stand vertically on all of the walls and ceiling to maximize space. )

It Almost Sounded Like I Love You

caught in a moment
Who: Anastas and Bernadine
What: Anastas makes a decision.
Where/When: Bernadine's dorm room. Friday afternoon.
Rating: SFWish (discussion of sex)


Anastas had a decision to make.

The recent lockdown of campus wasn't making things any easier. He couldn't very well pop off to see Diana. It wasn't as if he was going back and forth between them without a conscious process each time. He knew what he had to do and he armed himself, guarded his thoughts as he learned more about how his relationships between both women worked.

His last visit with Diana had been horribly strained and ended with her ultimatum. )

Simple Charms

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Quiet
Who: Bernadine Ford, Steven Suzuki
What: Bernadine goes to the library to research when she thinks she might have actually cast some magic. Steven snoops.
When/Where: Friday, March 9th. Mullholland Hall.
Rating: SFW


The first time she cast a spell it was something of a fluke.

It was lumos and she thought for a good long while it was just something all wands did; in her mind any old muggle could pick up a wand and make it glow if they thought about it hard enough. It had to be a built in thing. She'd have to ask Pepper if her research turned up fruitless; she wasn't going to bug her cousin when Dresden Academy had a very impressive library.

She wasn't nearly as excited as she should have been, maybe a bit jittery. If she could actually cast... Well, it would change a lot of things. )

Secret buddies hang out

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
adelaide: devious
Addy checked the fingernipping box under her bed to ensure that yes, she did indeed have chocoballs stashed away for an emergency (and didn't this entire fortnight just count as an emergency?) and tipped them out onto her bed to pick up and transport into Bernadine's room.

She poked her head out of her room to peer around the suite and see if anyone was about to notice her taking a detour into her 'mortal enemy's territory instead of yelling at Carly and Shell some more on the wizarding web. Finding it clear, she bundled the candy in her arms and scooted across Bernadine's way; letting herself in before anyone could spy them breaking character. )

Just to keep it streamlined, here's a post for texting that happened over Mid-winter break.

Be sure to put in the subject line who the text is to and from and if you want include the time.

And remember: texts have a maximum of 160 characters.

ENJOY!

I was a bad monkey and forgot to do this. Pretty sure there were some party fallout texts and other such nonsense.

The Party to End All Parties

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Smiles
Who: EVERYONE
When: Monday, February 22nd
Where: Castle Ford, Lake Luzerne, NY
What: Cinna throws a birthday party for Bernadine and Abby. CHAOS ENSUES.
Rating: Let's just say probably NSFW


Cinna tried hard to keep secrets, she really did. But somehow, through someone, her super secret surprise birthday party for Abernathy had become known, and people from all corners were asking questions about it-- when was it, where was it, what should they bring, if they could bring a friend... before she knew it, word of a giant bender she was organizing over holiday had gotten out, and everyone in the school seemed to think they were invited. She was pretty sure some of them didn't even realize this was specifically for Abby's birthday.

She gave up on her awesome idea of a small, cozy bash and informed her best friend (actually Bernadine, as she had still not figured this out) with a rather sheepish face that she was maybe possibly accidentally hosting a giant party... at Abby's house. On her birthday. And that everyone was coming. Everyone.

Somehow, Bernadine convinced Abernathy that this wouldn't be such a disaster. )

Valentine's Day Owling Booths

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
npc: owl
Early in the morning of Valentine's Day, before the students roused, owling booths were set up in the main corridors of Maple and Oak Halls as well as outside the student dorms. There, students could purchase candygrams from Apple’s Sweets or roses from the Herbology labs, which were then sent anonymously or with a signed note to crushes and loved ones. Purchases are only available to be made between class or on breaks, but will be delivered throughout the day.

Hopeful
Who: Abernathy and Bernadine Ford
What: Abernathy calls to yell at her sister a bit.
When: Saturday afternoon, after Cinna's post went live.
Where: Abernathy's dorm room. Both of them. ;)


Bernadine expected the berating would happen sooner or later. She was hoping to delay it a bit, but Cinna was very good at throwing monkey wrenches into plans. She picked up the phone at her sister's insistence, though she let it ring a few times.

Really, B? )

Sweetheart Dance - Friday, February 10th (Open to all)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
COOL AS ICE
With the start of a new year, things tended to be a little hectic. January tended to be quiet events-wise, to give people time to get everything under control and get themselves sorted to deal properly with the second semester. But when February rolled around, that all changed. That all-important holiday, St Valentine's Day, was just around the corner, and the Events Committee was sure to let everyone know about it.

This year the dance fell a few days before Valentine's itself. Great big heart-shaped posters appeared all over the school, inviting everyone to don their cutest outfits and join in a celebration of fun and romance on the evening of Friday, February 10th in the ballroom.

On the night in question, the ballroom was awash in shades of pink and red. Candles and spotlights had been charmed to take on the colors, and the ceiling was covered in heart-shaped balloons, some of which were also tied to chairs and tables around the outside of a spacious dance floor. The walls were decked with streamers (again in pink and red), and in the corner a DJ was set to fill the room with every 80s ballad ever recorded, a bubble-blowing machine at her side to cover the dancers.

Discovered (Backdated a bit)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Thinking it over
Who: Anastas de Kooning and Bernadine Ford
What: Stas runs into Bernadine and realizes almost immediately (when she doesn't proceed to kill him) that she's not Abernathy.
Where: The library
When: Afternoon, January 4th
Rating: SFW, excepting some language

It was a simple enough thing, but it was enough to undo all the good that Bernadine was receiving from Dresden Academy.

The spring semester started, students adjusting to the return begrudgingly. )

Holiday Gift Exchange

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Christine Allen
Every year Christine Allen set up the annual gift exchange, something a little different from a secret santa.

Students could drop presents by her office the week before the official exchange. Some packages were anonymous, some from parents who wanted their kids to have a little gift basket of snacks to finish off the semester, some were from professors or fellow students who wanted to share in the spirit of the holiday season.

By the end of the week she'd send out a fleet of little owls inviting anyone who received a present to drop by her office Monday afternoon to pick it up.

Winter Social - Friday, December 9th (open to all)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Dresden winter
The events committee pulled off a rather impressive decorating scheme given their limited budget this year. Old silver and blue candles lit every alcove, sparkled above students heads as the floated around the ceiling. A spell created snow that fell among the candles and dissipated just as it reached the shoulders of the students partying below.

Recycled ribbons and streamers in a wintery palette draped on the walls, off the back of chairs and the small stage that graced the far end of the ballroom. Tables were draped with cloths in various shades of icy blue, some silver, some pristine white (at least until the students managed to spill their beverages).

Music hummed in the corner as a local cover band warmed up their instruments. The usual spot for photographs was set up just inside the doors. Professors wandered around the periphery, making sure the students were on their best behavior, though as these things usually ended up, the students were a lot better at misbehaving than their professors were at stopping them.

Scheduling for Spring - Friday Dec 2nd (University students only)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Nathaniel Dawkins
Each year Dawkins removed a set of folders from his filing cabinet. In the spring the set was rather large, covering all of the students above year two. In the fall the set was much smaller, comprised only of the university students.

Each semester the university students could decide if they wanted to continue in their chosen subject or to study something new. He posted a sign outside his door for the students to choose their preferred slot.

He expected throughout the day that some of the chosen mentors would be drifting in and out of his office as well. They liked to be involved in the process, particularly if the student needed some discussion to encourage them to continue.

Dawkins leaned back in his chair, blue bowtie firmly knotted, waiting for the first student on the docket.

The Morning After

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Thorny cheerful
Who: Hawthorne, Cinna, and Bernadine
What: Our happy halloweeners wake up the morning after a serious night of debauchery.
Where: 'Abernathy's' dorm room
When: Saturday October 29th, morning.
Rating: NSFW at all.

When Cinna woke up fuzzy-headed after the secret Halloweenfest afterparty, it didn't come as much of a surprise. There was more alcohol on offer at that one event than at every other event during the year combined.

Where she woke up was a bit more of a surprise. )
