Triggered Warning
Slightly mentioned panic attack in the middle of the post
Behind the blindfold that still wrapped around Cash's eye, they could not stop to rolled their eyes at every single word that Sam said. The second-year Ravenclaw blabbed about whatever she blabbed. Cash could care less about it. While Cash is busy screaming and threatening Sam, Sam doing what she knows best which is trash talking. Just like herself who is trash.
"Still pulling the Cash-is-an-idiot card, Salwis?"They inquired the bird. "That trash talk you blabbed on about will not work on me and it getting old fast,"They stated. "Also it is reflecting of who you are which is trash"They cackled with the blindfold still attached to them. Then they heard Lucia's voice come behind them that telling them the knot of the blind was a bit hard to pull off.
The green eyes still feel the cold around them meaning the fog spell still looming over them. The shouting of spells from here and there did not help them one bit. Cash grabbed Henry's right arm that was not holding his wand when they feel another panic attack onslaught them. They felt like a warm sensation filled their whole body but not the burning feeling.
Someone must be cast the Fire-Making spell at them but the young Ironwoods did not know who was responsible for the action since they still can not see their surroundings thanks to the darn blind that still wrapped around their eyes. "Knight!,"They addressed the blue-eyed boy. It was unusual for the green eyes to address Henry by his last name.
Cash then shuffles closer to Henry as they still holding his arm. "I can not breathe,"They whispered softly to Henry so they did not alarm Lucia and Starlee about their current situation. They feel their chest slowly move up and down in rapid movement after they staggered a bit since someone decided to cast Flipendo at them.
Still holding Henry's arm, Cash tried to relax their whole body. They hold Henry's arm so they did not feel overwhelmed by their surroundings and it helps them feel grounded. Once their condition was a bit better, Cash heard Henry cast Ventus to chase the fog away. It was true what Lucia said about the blindfold being a bit hard to get off.
For a minute or so, the Beater struggled to untie the knot of the blindfold. A few minutes later, they finally did it and get rid of the blindfold from their eyes. They blinked their eyes to adjust to the sudden brightness. After their eyes adjust to the brightness, they averted their green eyes to Lucia. "Agree,"They said.
"There is definitely strength in number!"They repeated back of what Lucia just said earlier. Then Cash saw someone pointing her wand at them but her spells backfired. Cash could not help to let out a smirk. "Served you right!"They mocked the girl that trying to aim at them. The third year heard the encouragement that come from Starlee.
"Thanks, Estrella! Star!"The young socialite replied back. The Cuban descendant then makes a show by throwing the blind that was sent by Samantha to the side. Cash then raised their dominant hand (left) that held their aspen wand at Sam. "The fury of hell will rain down on you. Salwis!"The Beater then shot Sam a death glare.

OOC Note: mentions of panic attack and low grade cursing
Henry couldn't see much through the fog but he heard Lucia's voice. Strength in numbers. The teen felt his muscles relax and mind focus a little as he agreed, looking toward where he believed his team mates are as he spoke"Bloody hell yes, Lucia! For the strength of the team is the person and the strength of the person is the team," a changed version of a wolf quote that the lad read once or twice, "we have something that the other's don't, someone to trust," the teen leavled his wand at the fog already annoyed at the loomimg darkness. About to cadt the wind jinx when a bit of fog slipped into his eye, the teen closed his eyes and rubbed at it.
Paim overwhelmed the lad but he was able to contain his emtions, hide the pain from the others when he heard Starlee's voice unable to see her when he felt someome grab into him.
Henry tensed up a little then heard Cash's voice followed by a whisper. The fog still loomed. Henry reached out, placing a hand on their arm as he lowered his wand then whispered so only Cash could make out his words, "Relax. Listen to my voice. Breathe in and out." The words of his older brother fresh in the teen's mind from all the moments where he helped Henry with panic attacks. The teen never liked saying that he had experience with them, that he knew the pressure of one's chest when their breathing escalated or when their head pounded. The moment could be described as a feeling worse than death for some.
However, thay experience allows him to help others. His friends. Henry held onto Cash's arm as he whispered"in and out. Focus on my voice. In and out." the teen squinted, eyes red trying to see the fellow slytherin. Once he checked to ensure they are alright, Henry rised his wand toward the sky as he whispered low enough that only his team can hear.
"Ventus."
Wind blew the fog away. Looking around, eyes red and skin raw from the fog. The teen tried to cacth himself up. Starlee mow joined their team, a four way alliance and secretly Henry was glad that Starlee is on their team. The blonde is a intelligent and bubbly spirt wirh duelist instincts at least to Henry.
Plus it can be useful to have two members of the undefeated Viridian Vipers on the same team.
Cash took off her blindfold but was hit a few times, unfortunately Henry couldn't see by own but assmused one was from the ravenclaw; Sam Salwis who exchanged in banter with Cash that the lad thought normal. After all a few duelists exchanged banter in duels but didn't let them affect their relationships so he guessed that was it.
Henry looked over toward Starlee as he spoke"Focus, Star. Don't let your emotions get the best of you," a simple piece of the advice when he heard the blonde's voice and sounding tone before looking over toward Cash as he smiled softly at their words. The teen aimed his wand, eyes lookimg out for any spells that could come his, Cash, Lucia, or Starlee's way.
I got your backs and you got mine...
A thought slipped into his mind as he looked at each team mate then spoke"we got this, relax and stay focus," the teen then looked over toward Starlee as he smiled a little and whispered playfully to her, "easier than Viper pratice, right," a nod with the smile before it disappeared. No emotions shown on his face as he looked ahead. Focus.
Loki watched from the side.

The moment someone on the other team threatened her teammate, Juniper had to step in. The blonde was calling her partner trash, and Juni smirked. "Don't throw rocks in a glass house! Think fast, trash mouth!" She thought of the first spell she actually got hurt by. "Incendio!!" She said clearly, aiming her wand at the enemy. The blonde was blindfolded and wasn't able to dodge Juni's attack. She didn't feel the slightest guilty, either, because they were basically asking for it. The blonde wasn't on fire, but they got hit. (note that Juni doesn't know Cash's pronouns, so I'm using 'she' for her thoughts.) "There's no way-" She said, laughing in spite of herself. She actually managed to hit them! "Yeah, I'm good, Sam! I hit that person with incendio, is she your enemy or something?" She turned her attention back to the blonde and heard her insults and threats once more. "Oi! Shut up, will ya? Do us a favor and stop talking! Pfft, I totally rock suits better than you!" Probably not, Juni doesn't really look in the mirror much. But she did like blazers, they were much better than dresses sometimes. "We've got this, Sam." She lifted her wand, ready for the next round of spells. Not a part of her doubted her words to the blonde, she wasn't worried. If she got hit, she got hit. But she was pretty sure the blonde was more focused on Sam, to full of themself to aim with stradegy.

It was funny, really. Aurora dodged nothing but air over and over again, no one targeted her like she expected before. Quite rude if she had to be honest, but at least she knew that no one was in great danger and was surrounded in a poisonous smoke. It was just regular smoke from whoever the caster, nothing major, though her vision was limited because of the mesmerising yet aggravating white blanket. Her fingertips tried to feel it, but couldn’t. Just like the ghost of her past, real but untouchable. Artistic. The smoke had its own way to dance around and swirl, is this what heaven looks like? Somehow something about it made her calm and collected, though the screams of others spitting spells over and over again did not make a great appeasing whale sound. She could just sleep there if a thick blanket and fluffy pillows were provided. But she had a battle to do, a battle where she would gain five galleons to spoil Nicholas whatever he desired. Chocolate if he would fancy some, or perhaps one new flannel in a different colour to enhance his fashion. After all, it wasn’t him who chose the flannel life, it chose him.

Clair was a little over whelmed, lucky for her even if her spell had missed her target, she had not been the target of anyone, she hoped this would stay that way, with her not being aimed at.
When Lizzy called across the room if they wanted to team up, Clair walked her way when she got to her she smiled "Yeah that would be great! You have any ideas? I was thinking" she lowered her voice to a whisper and whispered into Lizzy's ear, "I think it's a good move, but do you think there is a better one? Oh and is Anyone else on your team? That I should not shoot at?" She smiled, the more people on her team the better, but if it was only Lizzy and Clair, that was ok too, she could work with that, one was better then none! The girl was completely ready to blast someone with a spell, but maybe she should stay clear of hitting Aurora, besides the fact that the Ravenclaw had pepper spray some where, Clair felt like she should not hit her Broom racing Captain, let someone else do that, and then they could get blasted with Aurora's sprays.

The second round went somewhat similarly to the first. Spells had been shot everywhere, making it incredibly hard for Everly to see where she was aiming, and, as it seemed, everyone else. Only a few spell had managed to hit their targets.
Everly followed her partner’s aim towards a familiar Slytherin, Cash, casting a blue Flipendo towards them. Everly, as it turned out, wasn’t among the lucky few, as the Slytherin had managed to dodge her spell, along with many others, even while blindfolded. (Which, even Everly had to admit, was impressive.) Everly personally never had been, but she knew the feeling of not having vision must be panic-inducing - one of the many reasons she’d trained herself to avoid situations like such.
Opeila’s spell, on the other hand, hit Cash rather lightly, among a few others, but at least she had hit. Everly shook her head at herself, disappointed. Both in the fact that she hadn’t been able to land a single hit yet, but also that she was embarrassing herself in front of Opeila. She’d been the one to ask to team up, yet she hadn’t done anything helpful yet.
Come on, don’t get distracted. It’s only two rounds in. You have time to redeem yourself.

The anger bled into his soul for what felt like eternity. but he soon discovered that he had a wish to use his dogwood wand and use it in a ferocious attack. A nice way of doing this was to bring out his wand, and he aimed it to a random person in the room, that person ranging from his cousin, Juniper, Samantha, and Cassandra, ah but it wasn't his final pick. None of them were.
And so, Cody made the wand movement, spoke, "FLIPENDO!" And he missed. It was utter crap how he failed.
"EVERLY!" Cody screamed, angry. He missed his target.
"JUNIPER WATCH YOUR BACK!" He said, He knew that his cousin successfully hit Cassandra, and he laughed. But also had a concerned look stricken upon his face.
He decided to prep his wand, getting ready to strike, His left arm
stood to point at a random target, and who would it be? "Shot through the heart, it's all part of the game that we call love, would you be content to see me crying, after all those little games you put me through, after all I've done for you you're lying, wouldn't it be nice to tell the truth."

Lizzy failed that spell big time. Her wand had backfired, causing the spell intended at the Slytherin to take its effects out on her. She put a hand up to her nose, which was running uncontrollably. She winced as the person she had being aiming at mocked her from across the room. Lizzy didn't know them, but she had just been trying to hit somebody so she wasn't standing around helplessly as the chaos raged around the students gathered here.Interacting: @Clair Fernandez ☽ ➶ ☾ Mentioning: @Cassandra Ironwoods ☽ ➶ ☾ Action: As Strategized
Clair came over then, and agreed to team up. Finally something was going right for her. "No, there's no one else on my team but you. My ideas right in this moment are more focused on avoiding being hit by a spell. Your idea sounds good though!" she said quietly to Clair.
Her wand was raised in a defensive gesture rather than an offense one now, but she was still ready to do either when the time called for it. Her eyes were darting around the room, trying to focus on one thing. It was a bit hard to do that what with all the people and shouting in the duelling room.

Henry, who seemed to have accidentally made himself the team leader (something which Lucia was perfectly alright with), paraphrased Lucia's encouragement so it sounded like it was a quote from a book. He then told everyone that they all had someone to trust, which was true, except for Cody, who had apparently teamed up with a redhead (why were there so many redheads? They all reminded her of Alexa) first year. "Yeah!" Lucia agreed with Henry, maybe a little too enthusiastically, maybe trying to distract herself from the thought of Alexa. Now wasn't the time to get lost in the maze of memories which Hogwarts had become - now was the time to focus.
Henry's well-cast Ventus chased away the fog as if it had never existed, and Lucia sighed with relief as she watched the final whisps of smoke disperse. She hated not being able to see properly, and at least now her view was only barred by the occasional flashes of light from her opponents' - and her teammates', and her own - wands.
Speaking of my teammates... Lucia thought to herself, turning around on the spot to see whether their spells had hit or missed. Star - her name was Star, right? - had apparently missed Samantha, and Lucia's own wind jinx appeared to have done the same thing.
Cash pulled off their blindfold without a second thought, discarding the fabric on the ground and readying themselves. They'd been hit with two spells, from what Lucia had made out, but didn't look like they were about to fall over any second now, which was good. "I know a healing spell," Lucia reassured them after Star - or was her name Estrella? - had shared some loyal rage on Cash's behalf. "Tell me if you're feeling too bad." Right now, they evidently weren't - they certainly had enough strength left to scream more threats at Samantha. Lucia couldn't help but feel a bit bad for the Ravenclaw.

@Everly Charlton
At this point Opeila was pretty sure that the whole chaos with the dozen students in the room was distracting her. The third year could cope with three other people around just fine now, but having all kinds of spells flying around her was actually quite unsettling to her. It was simply impossible to keep an eye on everyone and her duelling experience from the past year had just taught her to do precisely that- watch the opponent.
It was when she realized that she couldn't possibly do that now, that Opeila decided to go all offensive. Scanning the group, she picked one person standing out, mainly because of their temporary vulnerability that was caused by the blindfold that covered their eyes: Her own dormmate, Cash.
From the corner of her eye, she could see that Everly hat spotted them as well and with a quick but clean movement of her wand, she sent a bolt of blue light at Cash, who was now pulling the blindfold off their head.
Everly's spell trailed off, past Cash, and Opeila's only barely hit the other Slytherin. Not enough to have a severe effect or even knock them back really. A little frustrated, Opeila bit her lip. She could do better than that, damn it!
