Setting: Friday, April 15, 2011
Content: Yeah, yeah, we know. NSFW
Summary: It's the Sadie Hawkins dance! Ladies choice, so get out there and have some fun!

There was a subtle theme for tonight's Sadie Hawkins dance. No bright lights, or obviously themed decorations. No shaped confetti or strange creatures wandering around dressed in costumes. No costumes were in evidence at all, in fact. There was nothing cheesy or funny or overdone or bright or overt about the hall for tonight's dance.

Instead, tonight, there was soft lighting in places (though not too soft. The chaperones made sure of that), blue and soft gold table decorations and centerpieces, and a dance floor with charmed candles high above to provide light to see and dance by. The candles were charmed to change colors with the music, much the way that Muggle lights were done in dance clubs and the like. It added atmosphere without looking gaudy. Here and there were the teachers who were going to be watching over things for the evening, there was a long refreshment table off to one side, and the tables for sitting and relaxing were staged around the dance floor. All in all, a subtly decorated place where students could come in and dance and mingle.

Characters: Sam and Ginger
Setting: Perhaps downtown, perhaps Sam's house
Content: SFW
Summary: Sam and Ginger go out for their celebratory second date.

After a quick shower and change, Sam was ready for date two with Ginger. He was wild with energy after Beauregard's successful game that night and just bursting to do something. As they agreed before they even had their first date, a movie was completely acceptable for a second date. He liked giving her options so he rented a few movies and got some candy and snacks in case Ginger decided to stay in, since it was so late they could always just go to his house and chill since it was so close by. He also had provisions for in case they wanted to go downtown and catch a new film.

He practically skipped over to Lalaurie and bounded through the common room, which... in a million years... he never thought he would be doing. He bounded up the stairs to Ginger's room and took a deep breath before knocking on the door and waiting for patiently for the reply.

Setting: Outside the newly opened Cafe
Content: SFW, girly stuff for sure.

Characters: Everyone!
Setting: The Van Rensselaer home, NOLA. Tues March 8th
Content: NSFW. Just calling that now.
Summary: It's Mardi Gras in NOLA. Naturally someone has to have a party.

Never mind that it was a school night, Quinn wanted a party. She'd been intending to throw one on Mardi Gras and had been working on her uncle for some time to let her have the house. Finally she had won out. Not only did she get permission, but Noah and his wife vacated for the next couple days to allow her the opportunity for the party as well as the clean up. There was plenty of room for people to crash that night before they had to manage to get to class the following day.

The main portion of the house was decorated with all sorts of Mardi Gras decorations. Streamers, masks, draped boas, and other brightly coloured items to mark the festival. Quinn had made sure there was plenty of starting alcohol available, all obtained through a reliable source and none from her own stash. She was sure more people would bring their own to fill it out. Even food was available, though the size of the alcohol table was far larger.

A house elf was aiding the hostess in passing out beads to the male attendees while the hostess herself filled her arm with a bunch to pass out as she made her rounds.

It's Mardi Gras, and it's time to party.

[OOC NOTE: Remember to tag yourselves!]

Characters Everyone invited to the twin's tea party!
Setting Saturday, the twin's dorm
Content Probably NSFW
Summary It's Ella and Jenny's birthday!

Ella and Jenny had cleared a big space in their doorm room, pushing all their furniture to the sides and creating a sizeable area to hopefully hold all their guests. There were little tables holding cupcakes and cookies, tiny triangle shaped sandwiches and an assortment of charming teapots and cups. They had all sorts of tea and they were charmed to stay warm.

A faint cloud of steam hung in the air and gave everything a magical feeling, coupled with bunches of balloons floating across the ceiling. Sitting next to each other in the centre of a table were two very different birthday cakes for each of the twins. Later on they had big squishy pillows and beanbags for the slumber party-goers to lounge on whilst eating popcorn and watching movies. Having everything prepared, the twins waited to welcome their guests.

Who: Abernathy, Sam and Nurse Ducote
Where/When: The nurses office. Tuesday after classes.
Rating: SFW, some language
Summary: Abernathy is still having hearing problems after the quodpot incident. Sam is there for moral support.


She sat nervously at the end of one of the beds in the nurses office. They were occupied often enough when magic backfired. She'd been here more times than she cared to admit as the result of a fight.

( This was a little different. )
