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. )

Flirting Is Way Too Mainstream

Maddy doubts you
Who: Maddy and Riley
What: Maddy surprises Riley with a corset and a challenge to disrobe her and it quickly goes downhill.
When/Where: Thursday, March 8th. His dorm room.
Rating: NSFW

Maddy never quite knew what to expect with Riley. It was both entertaining and irritating. This afternoon she hoped it would be the former.

It was bright and sunny outside. )

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.

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.

Subject: Quidditch Team Names

Dear students and faculty,

I think it's time we shed our Quidditch team monikers of A and B. Frankly I'm sick of being called Team B. As president of the student government, I propose that we give our teams proper names.

I will be accepting nominations for team names this week and will choose only appropriate suggestions to vote on. Feel free to email me with as many ideas as you might have.

Thank you,
Veronica Cantrell
Student Government President

Homecoming

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Dresden
Homecoming, as the first major school social event of the year, was always met with great anticipation by the students. This year the Events Committee had decided on a theme of 'At The Movies', and the ballroom was decorated appropriately.

A long red carpet led into the hall, and just before entering into the dance itself, a 'paparazzo' would take portraits of the attendees, on their own or in couples or groups. The red carpet continued into the ballroom itself. Small tables with black and white decorations peppered the outside of the open center of the hall, which was being used as a dancefloor. Balloons covered the ceiling, and a refreshments and snacks table sat off to the side, guarded at all times by a vigilant adult.

A small podium was elevated on the opposite side of the dancefloor from the drinks table; where the 'Oscars' would be announced and given out. Towards the back, a small area for the entertainment. The local band Vampira had been hired again, after attempts to coax the students into performing (for free) had failed.

It didn't matter though. The night was young and sure to be, as always, a roaring success.

[OOC: Hop in anywhere you like except for the Homecoming Court slot. Save that for the winners!]

Art Class! (Open to any and all art students.)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
ryder - gaze
Who: Any students enrolled in the art elective.
What: Art class.. with some added mischief.
Where: The art classroom.
When: Afternoon, 21st of September.
Rating: Presumably SFW.

Having been forced, as Ryder saw it, to enroll in art class, the Clemons was determined to enjoy it in his own way. He had hoped that making all of his projects somehow resemble a dick and balls would entertain him for at least half the year. Ryder had envisioned paintings of strategically placed fruit in a bowl, photographs of oddly shaped trees, and even a quod-and-broom quodpot sculpture. In reality, however, he'd barely lasted a few weeks before becoming bored. There hadn't been as much opportunity for such things as he'd thought and, as was often the case, these things were simply more amusing in thought than in execution.

Ryder had been considering this whilst staring out one of the windows of the art classroom. Aside from a few stray clouds, it looked quite nice out there. Then again, he thought that even if it were snowing outside he'd probably rather be out there than in here. Ryder sighed, bringing his attention back to Professor Rosenthal. He appeared to have missed the task set out for them today. Probably some free form, do what you like bullshit knowing the Professor. He couldn't make something into a dick and balls if he had a choice in the matter - that would just be gay.

He watched as the other students buzzed around the room collecting their various materials. Ryder guessed that he should do the same and reached for a nearby sketch book - not really caring if it belonged to anyone else or not. He tried to look creatively thoughtful as he thumbed through the pages, but really he was thinking about the class he should be enrolled in. He would have taken charms alongside wandless and been spared this crap. He liked spells. Spells would certainly make this class more interesting. Not surprisingly, the Clemons found himself running with that thought.

Moving to an easel, Ryder pulled out his wand - he figured it would likely pass as a paintbrush at first glance. With a flourish he hoped would be attributed to some serious art, Ryder quietly, yet clearly, attempted to cast the jelly-fingers jinx on a nearby student. He had it in mind that if he could get the whole class, he might be able to convince Rosenthal that there was some bad energy in the room that needed his attention, while they all went outside to try and get their hands working again. It was a grand scheme, and he had no real hope of pulling it of. But he'd try anyway, the trooper.

It's Exactly as Nerdy as it Sounds

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Maddy grins
Who: Madelyn Cooper and Riley Bloodfeather
When: End of the school year and then sometime in July
Where: Dresden, Madelyn's House
What: Maddy inadvertently invites Riley to a reenactment over the summer.
Rating: SFW for now


Madelyn still couldn't explain what had possessed her. It seemed like a spirit of the moment thing.

She was blabbering on about her summer reenacting plans and Riley seemed mildly tolerant if only because it was something mainstream society frowned on and therefore he approved. )

The sandpocalypse is nigh!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
cinna: eager
Who: Everyone!
When: Friday July 8th
Where: South Beach, Miami
What: Cinna throws the first beach bash of the summer!
Rating: Xenu only knows.

School had been out barely a day before Cinna sent out a mass email inviting everyone ever to come hang out. She figured after Independence Day people would probably be sick of their families already, so proposed the weekend after that: a beach party on Friday and if anyone wanted to stay for the rest of the weekend they were more than welcome.

Friday couldn't come quickly enough. Part of the beach had been blocked off for them very early in the day, and Cinna's parents had very thoughtfully hired some entertainment-- a series of beach vans, one with ice creams and slushies, another with food, a third with a bar and an attendant paid to look the other way, and a little DJ booth on wheels.

The sky was endlessly blue, not a cloud in sight to spoil the day ahead, and the beach was clear and ready for the shenanigans to begin.

The Prom

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Seamus Morgendorfer
Cinna Thompson had almost single handedly pulled the prom together. The ballroom was decorated with festoons of floating flowers. Stars hung from the ceiling, each set to sparkle as if they were properly in the sky. The outskirts of the room were set with small round tables that could accommodate one or two couples. A table of refreshments was guarded at all times by Seamus Morgendorfer and a rotating cast of other faculty who volunteered to chaperon for the evening.

A glittery ballot box stood next to the entrance where students were set to write down their chosen prom king and queen and drop their tickets into the box. Students began to stream in after dinner to quiet music playing over the speakers. The band, a local group called Vampira was scheduled to begin playing around 7:30.

Needless to say it was going to be an excellent evening.
