When you were as handsome, strong and incredible as Arjan Oberoi was, it was bound to happen. Guys got jealous. Of course, they did. Arjan was the centre of attention, attracting everyone to him and leaving basically no one for the others. That was the only logical explanation for the fact that these boys felt the need to gang up. It was their poor attempt to get close to his level, hoping to make up for what they lacked in quality by sheer quantity. This was Arjan Oberoi though, he was worth a thousand others easily.

Grabbing the piece of paper the goblet spat at him, he could not help but roll his eyes. Howard White, truth. He knew that guy but he did not realise he was lame enough to pick truth. Seemed fitting though. Tough guy was all talk and absolutely no action so far, after all, "Ohh, tough guy picked 'truth', how cute. Alright," He paused for a second to show him to flick the parchment towards him - not really caring if he could grab it or not - just to show him that the assignment was true. "What's a secret about you that you've never really shared before, but includes at least one person at this school?" He asked him, with a quick motion towards the enormous castle as though to say the person had to be from Hogwarts. The question was vague enough that it could be anything but Arjan would have given him bonus points if it was something that was actually interesting.

The pipsqueak that went to his school seemed keen to join forces with this Howard White though that Arjan was getting ready to punch. He had to admit though, it was hilarious and he could not stop himself from laughing at the idea. Aw, how adorable. The boy did need the help if he wanted any chance to get on Arjan's level. It was obvious he was out of his league to face him alone, how adorable.

He smirked as he heard the Angel's words. Despite all of their crap, it looked like she was still on his side. In fact, it looked very much like they were pushing her towards him. You know... Maybe it was not terrible having these two dumbasses around. They made him look even more amazing in comparison, so they were pretty good wingmen - despite the fact that they were not trying to be. It was incredible. "Yes ma'am," He responded to her comment about a dare being a dare. He had no problem with her casting the spell at him. In fact, if she had asked, he would stand there and take the spell. Since her words heavily implicated that he should not stand there and take it though, he waited till the last second. As soon as he heard the words, he attempted to dodge out of the way. The spell whizzed past him [Accuracy: 15 vs. Evasion: 19] as he dodged away in style.

His dodges weren't usually so stylish but he had enough time to prepare. And since he was still in the middle of impressing her, he chose to dodge out of the way, doing some pretty decent flips. It started out with a cartwheel to the side before turning into a series of backflips one after the other until he eventually ended with a spin. Arjan might have been proud of his muscles and physique but they weren't just for show.

OOC: Ignoring the Howard-Felix dare for now, till respond to that after Felix posts.
P.S. You're welcome for the size of the gif. You obviously wanted to see it this large

At Alluring’s comment, he couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement. "Considering there were little to no words exchanged between us before this conversation, I highly doubt you know about my love life. I have little to no interest in whoever she is. I am just suggesting you show a little tact." He raised a hand to gesture towards Angel before dropping it again. At the comment about the beater’s bat, he raised a brow, a smirk curling onto his lips. He was tempted to quip back, to ask the boy if he carried his bat around like some sort of comfort toy, but he decided against it and turned away from the Durmstrang student. He had another truth or dare to conduct.

Felix actually found Howard to be tolerable... Entertaining, even. It was a pleasant surprise. "Can’t say I feel strongly one way or the other. I have no qualms kicking someone down a peg or two." What was the boy’s name again? Arjan, right? He was quite popular with the girls, it would seem. Felix could admit he was handsome, but looks had little to no purpose in his eyes, especially when there was little beneath that perfectly coiffed hair. He would laugh upon realizing that Howard had received his name. It would seem the goblet either enjoyed chaos, or it simply disliked Arjan.

"I’ll make sure to put on a good show for you. Just let me get this out of the way first." He would hold up a piece of paper that had appeared in his hands, a new challenge, a new name. ’Starlee Kennedy’. It was one that he didn’t recognize, but what else was new? Still, her presence was an advantage for Felix, and he knew exactly what to make her do. He would target ‘Frenchie’, or Angel. His eyes quickly scanned over the flood of students before they landed on the blonde girl. Perfect. "Hey, you. Starlee?" He would hold up the piece of paper, a thin smirk playing on his lips. "See that girl over there?" He used his thumb to gesture towards Angel. "I dare you to either kiss her, full on the lips or put on a little show for her, sing, dance, don’t care, whatever grabs her attention. Enjoy." He turned on his heel to walk away before the poor girl could even protest. If everything went according to plan, the pale boy named Howard would have quite the show indeed.

He straightened his shoulders and grabbed his wand from out of his pocket. It was with an air of confidence he would walk towards Arjan, who had just ‘narrowly’ avoided being hit with a case of the bogies. That worked in Felix’s favour, thankfully, considering what he planned to do next. The ridiculous amount of flips the boy had done to show off for the French student earned him an eye roll. It was perfect timing, however, because Felix was there when he landed. Had Arjan had enough time to prepare for this? "Fumos!" The Swedish boy cast with a spiralled flick of his wand. ([d20 : 8] + 6 = 14) If the spell succeeded, it would cast a thick layer of misty smoke over the area, hindering the victim’s sight.

Pushing himself onto the tips of his toes (curse Arjan’s height, he had 7 inches on the Swed), he would reach for either side of his head, grab two handfuls of that annoyingly perfect hair, and tug the boy downwards so he could crush his lips against his own. His kiss was perhaps a little unpracticed, but Felix wasn’t completely inexperienced and would retain his control if he could. Thanks, in part, to the element of surprise. A hand would slide down to grip the other boy’s jaw (if only to hold him in place) during the kiss. He was likely going to need to visit the nurse after this, but it would be worth it to see the look on Arjan’s face.

Seeing the people in her group moving towards the cup, Atlas realized that the next round had begun as she pushed her feet into the ground, halting her running as she felt her body lunge forward from loss of momentum. Reaching her arms out in front of her to balance herself, Atlas slowly brought her hands to her knees as she took a few deep breaths, trying to combat her swirling head as she scrunched her face from the migraine already starting to take effect.

It was a relief that she hadn’t eaten that much before the game as she doubted she would have been able to successfully keep any food down after the countless spins and circles she did just waiting for everyone to finish their dares but still she couldn’t remember the last time she had gotten this dizzy as she slowly eased her body into a standing position allowing herself to take a few more slow breaths before making her way to the cup.

Opening her new slip of paper, a devilish smirk curled her lips as she noticed the fates giving her Charles once again. Quickly eyeing the circle, Atlas saw Angelique and Charles continuing their daggered banter although it didn’t appear to be an even fight as Angelique’s words seemed to have far more bite. From what she could overhear, Charles had gotten Angelique as his victim, daring her to pour water on herself and send a Curse of the Bogies at one of the other men in the circle as she walked away to give her dare to another student and complete hers. Atlas couldn’t help but follow the girl with her eyes as she made her over to her new partner for the round. Angelique had spellbinding blue eyes and an aura of femininity and grace Atlas had never been able to obtain as she abruptly pulled her focus back to the center of the circle, puffing out her cheeks as she tried to focus her mind back on her mission.

Pursing her lips together, Atlas made her way over to Charles, “Seems like you have an awful lot to say tonight, Char-las,” She teased, holding in a laugh as she shook her head to reset her composure. “In the humor of having a ‘venomous’ tongue...I dare you to find a live bug on the ground and eat it.” Feeling her lips pull into a smirk, Atlas stared at the boy wondering if he would actually go through with his dare or find some annoying way to slither out of it.

All around her, the game was in full swing. People laughing, yelling, telling truths and fulfilling dares. And chickening out. Calypso approached the flaming goblet once more. So far, the game hadn't been as disastrous as she'd thought, though granted, she hadn't received her dare yet. She glanced down at the name in her hand, and was glad to find that this time she knew who its owner was.

Atlas Reid stood not five meters away, apparently...daring Charles to eat a bug? Calypso didn't know the blonde trickster personally, but last year their schedules had overlapped a few times so Cal had seen her around Hogwarts. Plus, she was on Hufflepuff's Quidditch team, so it was hard not to know who she was.

"Hey, you're Atlas, right? Sorry to interrupt this, um, lovely dare ~Charles, watch out for the spiders and horseflies, they're supposed to be bad this summer. And don't eat any ticks. Lyme disease~ but I was supposed to give you a dare?" Calypso would wait for a response before continuing.

"Right, so I dare you to...sorry, I'm bad at these. Uh, say 'pickles' at the end of every sentence until the next round."

Now it was only a matter of time before her dare arrived. Why had she picked that option? To be spontaneous? Well-rounded? How silly she'd been. Egotistical even. But maybe it wouldn't be that bad? Whatever the dare turned out to be, Cal hoped it wouldn't be a total train wreck. Yeah, right.

Action: Daring Atlas to say "pickles" after every sentence until the next round, awaiting her dare.

Reducio

Agh, sorry this is late! Hope I didn't miss the deadline.

Moderation Note

Giving a dare for Arjan Oberoi (@Serena Towers): a young boy with messy black hair and a cherubic smile would approach. His dare for Arjan? Sing and perform the chicken dance (he would demonstrate if needed), and only communicate using chicken sounds for the rest of the round. The young boy would giggle wildly at the genius of his dare.

Arjan was clearly the most popular person in the room - well area. He usually was the centre of attention, at least in his own mind. However, there was pretty much no way to deny it right now. Most of the group seemed focused on him. He loved it, which was likely the adverse effect of what they had intended on doing but he did not care what their intentions were.

As he finished successfully dodging the beautiful angel's spell, Arjan found himself landing on his feet. Just as he landed, pausing for a moment to take a breath and regain some self-control, he was hit with another spell. The smoke covered his eyes, instantly clouding them. What the heck? He heard a familiar voice. That White kid's voice rang through the smoke - 'Oi! Jug head! This one's from me!'

He just assumed it was about him. Because who else would White be jealous of? He was the only one that anyone would be jealous of. The smoke was for him? That made no sens-

That was when he felt someone grab him. He could make out someone quite a bit shorter than him ruining his hair. What the hec- Wait- The figure, who he figured was someone he probably did not want to kiss, kissed him. This was White's dare? What the heck? Was he trying to ruin his hair?! Arjan was definitely taken back by the whole thing. He moved his hand instantly to go to shove the guy off him, pausing for the briefest moments as a better idea hit him. This was White's dare? Why? Well then.

Arjan suddenly licked the shorter boy's lip, attempting to throw him off with the abrupt response to the kiss. If successful, he kissed him back before biting his lip. With that, he pulled away. "Eh, a solid 4/10. Could use work," He would say before walking away to walk out of the smokescreen that was making it a little hard to breath or you know, actually see.

As he backed out of the smoke, he attempted to adjust his hair by running his hand through it. It was not as perfect as it had been but gosh, it still looked great in his opinion. He always looked good. The kid was pretty lucky that he still had his face or hands unbroken but there was a reason. His initial reaction was definitely to just throw hands at the guy. But if this was how White wanted to play it, two could play. Arjan did not move too far, just enough to step away from the boy before he tried to kiss him again - because, let's be fair, the boy probably wanted that - whilst also allowing him to see a bit better. The smoke would fade at some point but till then, he could just stand away from the centre of it. At least that was the plan.

Some kid with messy hair approached him with some sort of a dare about a chicken dance. Arjan stared at him blankly, "The what?" He asked, unsure what the song or dance actually was. The boy would demonstrate. "Oh, that's easy," He responded confidently. Admittedly, he was not paying that much attention so he kind of forgot the entire thing but you know, it was close enough.

Arjan moved his head forward a little, flapping his arms towards the boys that had previously annoyed him as though calling them chickens. With the Chicken Dance's 'dun nuh nuh nuh na' sounds, he pressed his fingers together to do the beak thing, then flapped his elbows like they were wings. Then he followed this by shaking his butt like there were feathers on it and ending with a few claps. He repeated this a couple of times just to make sure he covered the dare. It did not take him long before he started to get into it, giving a proper rooster dance [turn volume down, guy at the front is what I'm envisioning] too following a '1, 2, 3' where he put his fingers up to count down. Without hesitation, he flapped his elbows, bending down low and dancing. Though this was not his usual style, it was evident that he enjoyed dancing.

He might have looked ridiculously idiotic but boy, did he look like a confident idiot. He finished off his dance with a few chicken clucks towards both White and the Durmstrang kid, since that was all he was allowed to do anyway. Might as well call them chickens whilst doing out his dare.

The illusion of control was a funny thing. You could visualize a goal or an outcome so easily inside your head. You could convince yourself that said outcome was the only possible result of your actions.

And then you could be so terribly wrong.

Felix had miscalculated, misjudged the older boy. The vapid shallow waters were supposed to offer a clear visage to the bottom of the lake. Felix had confidently dived into the deceiving waters and plunged himself into the deep end instead. He had felt Arjan freeze up at first. It was one of the reactions Felix had been expecting. He thought the boy would push him away, punch him, scream at him, or lose his cool somehow. That was when he started doing something unexpected; he had kissed Felix back.

The Swede's blue eyes shot open in surprise and he was left staring at his supposed victim from such close proximity. Something wet had slid over his bottom lip and the boy's usual stoic demeanour was broken. His face heated up, darkening his usual ghostly white features. He was caught off guard but he would try to regain control by pushing himself closer and attempting to deepen the kiss, his grip on the boy's hair lightly hurting his scalp. Felix found himself floundering, however. He had kissed before, but never like this. It was over before too long, leaving the Swede gasping, his lip slightly swollen from that bite.

Then, he was given a rating. A four.

What? ... What?

"A four?!" He suddenly snapped at the older student. "If I'm a four, you're a damn four!" He managed to choke out through his flustered shock and anger. "That kiss was definitely worth more than a damn four!" Wait, was it? Had he just admitted to liking it? Because he most definitely had NOT liked it! "I mean-- It wasn't even good! Just...! Better than a four!" What? He wasn't making sense. Felix hated losing control almost as much as he hated being flustered, and Arjan had caused him to become both.

As if to add injury to insult, the older student looked damn interesting walking out of that smoke. Cool even. Felix's plan had completely backfired on him. How was he going to face Howard or-- Oh Merlin, Charles had seen his failure too. Ugh. His face would twist into a scowl as he watched Arjan perform some kind of muggle dance he had never seen before. Those arm movements, the head bobbing, the... butt shaking? None of it even seemed to phase Arjan. It was... Irritating. Where Felix had once seen an empty handsome shell, he could now see something quite different, power in the form of unwavering confidence. and it was... Terrifying. "... I give it a four." He would respond in a sour tone when the dance was finished.

Atlas hoped that there would be a nice plumb bug for Charles to enjoy. Perhaps the boy was even a bit hungry and Atlas was just giving him a nice chance for a little snack. While Charles was off to search for his bug, however, Atlas’ attention was momentarily pulled away but an unfamiliar face. She smiled at the girl and gave a confirming nod that she was, in fact, Atlas.

“That’s me!” Atlas said with a grin, assuming the girl had devised some devilish little dare that would embarrass her. There was something exciting about the mystery of the dare as it hung in the balance. “I am ready for anything. Hit me with your worst,” Atlas said with a mischievous grin spreading across her lips. She was making sure to keep an eye on Charles as he seemed to be searching along the ground but made sure to listen carefully to the girl’s dare.

The first part was easy, she would just have to say ‘pickles’ at the end of her sentences. Nothing really embarrassing about that. She waited eagerly for the next part of the dare. When several seconds of silence passed, she realized, that was the dare. “Oh...Pickles. I can do that, pickles,” Atlas said with a little snicker. It wasn’t a challenging dare but perhaps she would be thankful for that. With a shrug, she then watched as Charles scooped up a spider and began to chew it. She impulsively grimaced at the sight before laughing.

“Hope that tasted good...Pickles,” Atlas laughed as she shook her head at Charles. “PICKLES, PICKLES, PICKLES,” she said several times, enjoying how the word rolled of her tongue. It was a strange word that seemed to bring an instant smile to her face. “PICKLES,” she announced a final time before settling down to see what else occurred around the small group.
