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. )

The Worst Birthday In History

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Luka smoking
Who: Luka, Arnaud, Anastas
What: Luka's birthday is horrible. He accidentally kisses his roommate and then runs off for a smoke and chats with Stas.
Where/When: His dorm room; the older kids' smoking hangout on campus. Backdated to March 15th.
Rating: NSFWish (lots of language, drug use, themes)


What compelled him to do it, looking back even an hour later he couldn't say. He'd shaken Pickle, which... What the fuck Adelaide? He had no idea what sending her owl to spend his birthday with him was all about. Sure he got attention all day long from all the girls because Pickle couldn't help being adorable, but it was a distraction.

Finally he managed to shut himself in his room with Arnaud, found the bottle of liquor Thorn left for him and started to drink in earnest. )

Birthday Owl for Luka

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
npc: owl
Addy didn't think Luka would take any mail from her, so she sent Pickle to keep him company for the day. The little saw-whet followed him everywhere, tried a peep-hooting conversation, and was pushed away from many attempts at nuzzling.

Birthday Owl for Luka

Thorny rocking out
Thorny left his cousin a rather sizable bottle of booze on his desk.

hapy birthday bro! start thinking of a new tatt to get. it's happning this summer.


A few hours later an owl arrives with a hastily scrawled picture of an idea Thorn's had for their next matching tattoos. It's the sort that's best not described in mixed company or too much detail.

And so it ends...

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
adelaide: not happy
Who: Adelaide Legaux and Luka Nikitin
What: They get their talk on after fighting at Abby's birthday party.
Where: Addy's room in the University dorms
When: Right after this.
Rating: SAD REALLY REALLY SAD Safe for everything EXCEPT YOUR SOUL



Addy put her phone down with a massive sense of unease. Luka said he was coming over so they could talk, but he didn't read the least bit happy about it. Which didn't bode well for the conversation they were going to have. Or more likely, she realized with a sinking sensation, a fight. And that in turn put her on edge, which meant they would probably fight now even if they weren't going to before. She really, really didn't want to fight.

The entire problem with their relationship was how it put their friendship on the line. )

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.

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.

New Years House Party [open to all!]

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
cinna: lmao
On the morning of December 31st, Cinna was up bright and early making sure that everything was prepared for the giant party she was throwing later that evening. She hadn't specified any start time, thinking people would show up whenever they like knowing full well that the fireworks were on at midnight (after all, it was a New Years Eve party, and people weren't completely stupid).

Along with Independence Day, New Years was one of Cinna's favorite holidays. She just loved fireworks, and having the holidays at opposite ends of the year meant that they could be experienced in different ways. One was all about summer barbecues, and the other was about getting tipsy and ridiculous with friends.

She decisively banished her parents to their end of the house once the first guests arrived. She didn't need their help-- people could get their own food and drinks out of the kitchen and entertainment areas where it was all laid out and ready for the taking-- and she certainly didn't need her mom ogling all the teenage boys about. Or worse: Them ogling her back.

She offered silly tiaras and noisemakers to everyone, and put the leftovers in piles on tables for when it was closer to midnight, or when people were just drunk enough to want to play with them anyway, and wandered around to say hi to friends.

A little early, but at least this way it's up and I won't forget about it during real life holiday madness

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.

Halloweenfest After Party (open to all who received invites and their +1s)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Huletts Landing
Out on the far side of Lake George, just far enough off campus to allow apparating for those that could, was an old, abandoned boathouse. Many, many years ago it had been used by one of the families in the area but over time it fell into disrepair, forgotten by all. Except for the enterprising troublemakers of Dresden Academy, that is.

What had once been an elegant exterior was now covered in vines and graffiti, windows shattered and boarded up against the snows and rain. The upstairs had been a small apartment, presumably for the family to stay overnight on fishing trips. Now it was a gutted series of connected rooms and a dirty (but functional) ensuite that provided an ideal party venue for the kids who wanted freedom and mayhem all in a conveniently sheltered location. The downstairs had been storage for the boats, leading into the lake via a gently sloping ramp. The exterior doors had long since been sealed, and the dark, dank, cobweb-filled cavern of a basement had sat empty ever since-- save for the brave young lovers from every party who would take any opportunity for privacy.

No one was really sure who organized the secret afterparty for Halloweenfest every year. )

Backdated: Meet the Parents

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
adelaide: brain hurt
Who: Luka, Chloe and Dmitri Nikitin, Adelaide Legaux
What: Parents Weekend! A super awkward lunch and then a fight and then some cute.
Where: Luka's dorm room, a restaurant in Canada, St George's Way
When: Lunchtime, Saturday 24th September.
Rating: PG?



Luka spent much of Saturday morning trying to sort his head out. Arnaud was good enough to clear out of the room and mingle with some of his other friends and their families. It gave Luka just enough time to plaster a fake smile on when his parent's arrived to pick him up for lunch.

He'd been planning on introducing them to Adelaide, which was practically like proposing marriage at this stage of the game. Luka never introduced girls to his parents. )

Can't Help But Ruin the Weekend

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Luka
Who: Luka, Chloe, and Dmitri Nikitin, Arnaud Powell
When: Friday afternoon of Parents' Weekend
Where: Luka and Arnaud's dorm room, St. George's Way
What: Luka and Arnaud spend a bit of time with Luka's parents. Dmitri drops a bomb on his son.
Rating: Mostly SFW


The yearly ritual had returned, another parents' weekend at Dresden Academy. They'd been coming every year, making the trek up from New York City to support their son and their daughter before him. Even though Luka had been over it his freshman year, Dmitri and Chloe Nikitin continued to make the effort.

It was always nice to visit the quaint campus and wander down by St. George's Way. They booked a room months in advance at Bard's Inn. Checking in, they dropped their bags and took the leisurely stroll along the path to the Dresden campus.

Chloe poked her husband in the side; something about these school weekends always put her in a playful mood. )
