This is a group thread for the errand, Tricks, Treats and Tales. Feel free to reference the errand page for any information, and feel free to owl me if you have any questions.
It was the 30th of October, and all throughout the grounds, small fire pits sent smoke into the crisp autumn air. Each pit would have a small group of four to six students that got to socialise, have sweets, make s'mores, tell scary stories... really, whatever their hearts desired. If some of them came wearing a scary costume and others came wearing a bedsheet to be a ghost, the better for them.
Ingredients for s'mores (graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolates and skewers) were laid on a small table at each fire pit. Small logs provided seating for the students, larger logs for the older students and smaller logs for the younger ones. Multicoloured leaves, the warm shades of which could be seen in the firelight, dapped the floor with colours almost like a rug. The point of it all was to be cosy, to be fun, and perhaps a night full of colours and giggles and firelight would get the job done.
To ensure everyone remained safe, and if they did burn themselves, to provide a quick healing spell, Koko, a seventh-year prefect, stood off to the side in the shadows. She was not particularly well-hidden: her light-coloured hair reflected the light easily, making it so that even as she tried not to be a distraction from the event, if she was needed, she could be swiftly located. A silver mackerel tabby sat at her feet, content with the general atmosphere around him. She could only hope that the students would enjoy this, too.
OOC: What to do.
Write at least one post of your character being present at the event. Hopefully, they are enjoying things, but some teenagers are moody.
Your total word count (all posts combined) must be at least 600 words, but you can absolutely write more than one post, or more than 600 words. Please do remember to write at least 200 words per post per site rules!
Upon completion of your 600 posts, please provide your total word count and link your thread your sign-up post in the errand thread here.
Once again, I hope you have fun! Feel free to owl me if you have any questions at all.

Sunset, 30th October
Emiline fiddled with her red cloak, and clasped the final parts of her costume together. Her outfit was a warm one, with a thick jumper to keep out the cold air. However, it played the part. All she needed now was her fake teeth. As she adjusted them, She wondered if anyone would get offended by her stereotypical vampire costume. She glanced outside to check if the sun was setting, and indeed it was.
Emiline was eager to get to the grounds slightly earlier than most people, then she could figure out what she was going to do there. She quickly glanced at the mirror before she left, the red lipstick she had smeared was beginning to darken, giving the look she intended, of blood dripping. She winked at her refection before leaving her house.
Soon, Emiline was at the clearing of the event. She gazed at awe at how the place had been set up. The setting sun created a cozy atmosphere. A neat table to her right was set up with lots of ingredients with chocolate standing out for the second year. There were several logs for sitting on assumingly. And the floor was littered with Emiline's favourite part of autumn, the million of different shaded leaves. Brown, orange, green, red, marron and yellow danced on the floor beneath her. The firepits made the leaves dance with mischief and created a warm hue around the area.
As she was the first to arrive, Emiline decided to take a marshmallow, hoping one less marshmallow wouldn't be noticed from the many in the pile. Once she had her her marshmallow, she sat down on the nearest log and started munching on it. While moving, she did not notice the older year hidden in the shadows. While she did this, she wondered how long it would take for the others to get here and how wonderful this would be.

Mentioning @Rose MoonDate - 30/10/24 WC 306/200 Color Legend - Mylo | Thoughts It was that time of year again, Halloween. Mylo had signed up for this scary story bonfire thing that was being organised, mostly due to the fact that their friend Rose had asked if they'd want to go with her and Mylo had agreed, thinking that it could be fun. Unfortunately one thing they had both overlooked was that they'd be placed into random groups and had ended up not being put together in a group. Which made Mylo nearly not want to attend any more, but they had already arrived and as such it would be very rude for them to leave now and abandon the rest of the people who were expecting him to be there.
Walking over to their assigned group Mylo could already see one other person sitting by the fire, along with some marshmallows, crackers, chocolates and skewers. Which they knew would be for making smores, something they loved to do with their family. Mylo thought they'd come nice and early, but apparently there was someone even earlier, he didn't recognise her but she seemed to be quite comfortably already snacking on one of the marshmallows that had been provided.
Taking a deep breath Mylo walked over, wondering if they should have dressed up as well, as the student was dressed up as what Mylo thought was a vampire. But they didn't really have anything with them that could count as a costume, so they had decided to just dress warmly and hope that no one would give them a weird look for not being in costume.
As they neared he saw no one else so he walked over to the other student and asked a little nervous. "Uhm hey! I think we're in the same group, is it okay if I sit here?" Pointing to a log next to her.

Being busy all the time, with either personal projects or school homework, she'd let the kitty cat roam around, but always stay within the girl's eyesight. It was with that semi guilty thought that Ophelia brought the little tabby with her to the grounds for the latest errand. Compared to many of the others, this one seemed not rooted in helping the school, but rather in just giving the students an opportunity to relax and enjoy themselves on the eve of Halloween. Something catered more towards the students of Hogwarts, rather than the staff.
Together, girl and cat made their way down from the beautiful castle school down to its expansive grounds. The setting that Ophelia encountered was nothing short of the cozy autumn theme that had been the goal. With multicoloured leaves to act as a vibrant carpeting and logs surrounding a fire with s'more making supplies laid out, it was the perfect representation of homey.
At the site, Ophelia found that she wasn't early or alone, discounting her little Doveling. Besides herself, there were two others, though neither were familiar to the Ravenclaw. Perhaps somewhere in the back of her brain she remembered just vaguely seeing them somewhere, but nothing as concrete as names or houses.
Always with a plan of her own, Dove ran as fast as her little legs could carry her, making her way to one of the logs and curling up unceremoniously. Unfortunately, it wasn't just any of the logs. Devious little Dove had chosen to sit on the only log that had students sitting atop it, forcing Ophelia to go up to them.
Quickly, the Ravenclaw girl took a detour towards the s'mores station, grabbing just a piece of chocolate for herself, before approaching the other students with a soft smile. She plopped down on a log right next to theirs, patting the spot next to her in the hopes that Dove would come sit next to her. But, as always, the tabby didn't listen.
Dove stayed where she was, curled up, her tail resting primly on her nose. The Ravenclaw stifled a laugh before turning back towards her companions for the evening. "Hi, I'm Ophelia. I didn't realise we were supposed to be in costume." She let out a warm little laugh, before taking another bite of her chocolate piece. "Are either of you scared of or allergic or cats?"
She said the last part with a pointed glance at Dove.

Alliasta was finally excited for event time it was an event for Halloween. It's the perfect time to meet new people and hang out! The girl was wearing the costume her grandmother had knitted. And as a surprise, she made Kaito wear the costume that her cousin Boris had knitted for her ferret.
When she finally approached the event areas, Kaito jumped off the girl's lap and immediately started jumping and running towards the smell of snacks coming from that direction. Alliasta couldn't understand what was happening for a moment, but then she ran quickly and started chasing the naughty ferret.
"Kaito! Come back right away! If you had waited, we would have gone there together in my arms! Don't think about diving into anyone's food! You will disturb people."
But the only thing the little ferret cared about right now was those delicious smelling snacks, and he did nothing but Alliasta chase after him , when he finally ran and reached there. He passed among a few students and immediately ran to the food table. Alliastada was just as fast when running, but the little ferret was definitely faster than her. The only thing the girl could do was to chase after him. When Alliasta finally got there, she leaned to the left as she was about to hit someone, but this caused her to lose her balance and fall. It looked very funny.
"Ouch... it hurt a little bit but I guess I fell very funny. Hehehe"
The girl smiled at the people around her and rubbed her head, without seeming odd in the least. She wasn't ashamed or hurt because she fell. She just found it funny.Ability: Lovely Creature is in effect.

tricks, treats, and tales • threadOphelia was quite enjoying her chocolate piece. It was honestly quite surprising how the girl had a sweet tooth, especially since her self control and desire to be viewed in a certain way was much higher than normal. But the sweet tooth was the one thing, other than her anxiety, that had escaped her perfectionist gaze, she supposed. Having finished her original piece, the girl stood up, leaving Dove unsupervised for a moment as she walked back over to that table, made herself a s'more, and sat back down on her log.
The Ravenclaw girl was about to say something to the other students, before a little furry creature-- is that a ferret?-- ran past her, startling even dosing Dove awake. Right behind the ferret was none other than a frantically running girl, who most likely was the owner of the runaway pet. Ophelia stood for a moment, wanting to introduce herself to the newcomer. But instead of just standing, she must have done something extra, because the girl lost her balance and fell.
The motion was so quick that Ophelia didn't really know what to make of it. She was shocked, for one, and so she didn't say anything at all, offering her arm to help the other girl up if she needed it. When the girl just let out a giggle at her fall, the Ravenclaw let out a breath. Thankfully, she wasn't hurt.
Since the girl hadn't taken her offered arm, Ophelia shifted its position to be ready for a handshake. She smiled back at the newcomer, watching out of the corner of her eye as Dove got off of her position on the log and went to stalk the ferret. Oh no. But she'd already began her interaction with this girl and she couldn't very well just stop in the middle. Even if my cat is about to hunt her ferret.
"Uhm, hello. I'm Ophelia. Are you alright? Oh, and I love your costume!"

As Emiline nibbled the marshmallow, she heard someone approach. She glanced up and saw a boy, Emiline noted how he wasn't wearing a costume. Oh gosh, I hope i'm not the only one wearing a costume, that would be a tad bit embarrassing. She thought. The boy asked if he could sit on the log near her. "Of course, do sit down. Group 9 right?" Emiline asked him. She also acknowledged that the boy's voice was slightly nervous, and wondered why. "I'm Emiline by the way."Date - 30/10/24
Thread--> Trick, Treats and Tales
While pondering this, a cat sped past her and sat at the end of the log she was sitting on. A cat? Where did that come from? Emiline pondered bewilderedly. She glanced up at the direction in which the cat had appeared from and saw a girl walking from the snack table towards one of the many other logs. Emiline listened to what the girl was saying, her name was Ophelia and a faint blush spread across her face when she mentioned about not knowing about being in costume. That's two people that aren't in costume. Stupid Emiline, you're gonna be the only one! She thought slightly bitterly. "Nope, cats are fine for me." Emiline replied.
She was about to say something else when a shout interrupted her. She looked towards the direction of the shout and saw a girl in costume, chasing a mouse at quite a speed, no not a mouse, her pet. Emiline watched as the girl came closer to the group, and tripped. Emiline wanted to see if she was alright, but the girl reassured her she was fine by laughing. She smiled warmly at everyone. This group dynamic was great, everyone seemed to get on. Hopefully nothing bad would happen like the ball last year.

@Alliasta HolistaDate - 30/10/24 WC 296/200 Color Legend - Mylo | Thoughts As the girl didn't mind them sitting next to her Mylo took a spot on one of the logs that was placed next to hers, not wanting to make her uncomfortable by immediately sitting with her on the same log. Introducing herself as Emeline Mylo realised they hadn't introduced themselves, which was a little rude in his eyes.
"Thanks, uhm. I'm Mylo by the way. Do you know if there's something specific we have to do or just like talk?" They ask, hoping there was something to do as conversation was not their strong suit. Before they could get an answer though another student came up to them, also not in costume which made Mylo feel a bit better about their own lack of one, accompanied by a cat that had immediately curled up on one of the logs most likely enjoying the heat from the fire. Introducing herself as Ophelia she asked if either of them were allergic.
"Oh hi, I'm Mylo. Uhm, no I'm not allergic, I've actually got a cat myself, Ash. But I think he's currently sleeping somewhere or something." He said, wondering what Ash was up to now, hoping nothing too dangerous. As they were wondering another student came up, immediately falling down. Before Mylo could get up to help though the other student was already laughing, signalling that she at least wasn't hurt badly. Getting up though just in case they held out a hand to her, offering it if she needed help getting up.
"Are you okay? It looked like it hurt a bit. I've got some anti-bruising cream if you need it?" He asked, rambling on a bit, but they'd rather offer it and have the girl reject it than not offer it and have her need it.

Alliasta was really happy. So it seemed like everyone there was worried about her and wanted to help her. When Mylo held out their hand to her, Alliasta immediately holding Mylo's hand, stood up, and shook hands with the Ravenclaw girl who was ready to shake hands.
"Wow, I'm sorry for appearing out of nowhere and worrying you by falling. Luckily, I landed in the soft area!"
And she add.
"Oh and I'm Alliasta Holista! You can call me Alli or however you feel comfortable! Oh and Mylo some cream would help a lot!"
Alliasta took a few moments to examine her surroundings. Mylo and a girl she knew from a Ravenclaw weren't wearing costumes. But there was another girl wearing a costume like her, which reassured her. She wouldn't be ashamed or shy if no one wore a costume, but it was still nice to have someone wearing a costume like her.
"Oh that's nice, for a moment I thought I was the only one wearing a costume... Anyway, no problem, plus I really like your costume!"
Alliasta looked around this time. There was a snack table there. Oh and Kaito was there... But next to Kaito was another cat who didn't look at him like a friend at all.
"Uhm this cat wouldn't try to eat my ferret would it? I mean...it doesn't look very friendly"
Alliasta smiled a little nervously. So she didn't mean to be too rude, but she was worried about Kaito and it would be terrible if something happened to the naughty little ferret.Ability: Lovely Creature is in effect.

tricks, treats, and tales • threadOphelia was extremely glad that neither the girl, named Emiline by introduction, nor the boy, Mylo, were afraid of or allergic to cats. She loved Dove, and bringing her everywhere was a perk of choosing a feline pet instead of an owl, rat, or fish, but it was not fun when those that she'd planned to meet up with were scared of or deathly allergic to cute kittens.
Even Alliasta, who'd arrived a bit late to hear Ophelia's question about cats, seemed comfortable. She seemed like a nice person, though one who enjoyed chaos, but the wild glint that the Ravenclaw found in her eyes. Mylo offered Alliasta an anti-bruising cream to help with her fall, and Ophelia blinked. That was such a great idea, bringing cream like that and other every day essentials everywhere. One never knew when things like that were going to be needed.
"Uhm this cat wouldn't try to eat my ferret would it? I mean...it doesn't look very friendly." Alliasta's voice broke Ophelia out of her thoughts and she remembered, a bit late, that last she'd checked, Dove was stalking the girl's ferret with a terribly vicious glint in her eyes. Uh oh.
"Dove is really friendly," She assured the girl, walking over the her little kitten and picking her up. The kitty wriggled in her arms, wanting to be put down, but she persisted, carrying the tabby over to where the others stood. "She's a bit of an adventurer though."
