TABLE 16 | Sweethearts Tea Party
- Eliza Corrids - 2nd year - Hex: 8b654b - Clothing: A light pink dress, rimmed with sequins, sleeves at the elbows, dress reaches lower knees, white, cotton faux-fur shoulder coat that surrounds her lower chest, white heeled boots and a white headband with a heart on it. Her hair is curled and she has blush formed into pink hearts just centered underneath her eyes -"S.. so you're Marius! You're the one who sent me the cupcake! Who are you- and whaddya want from me?!" She stood in a defensive position, swinging her fists in a circle, preparing to "punch him".. (Well she would if needed- but she refrained, as the teachers were watching). "And hey- you sent a cake to.. I can assume, Adelaide- and to me- what in tarnations?! You have a weiiird problem, Mr. Marius!" She put one hand on her fist and used the other to point at him right in the face. Of course she was taller than him, so she had to look down. He wasn't that much shorter, but
she was a good amount taller.
She sighed. "You better explain all this, little kid. I don't intend on having a tru love who's a complete stranger to me, capiche? Especially if they are younger." She shook her head, sitting down in her chair again. She put her hands on her temples. This was stressful. Probably a.. silly prank! (She hoped). She stared up at the boy again and Adelaide, sighing.
"At least explain yourself, Mr. I don't want some freaky love triangle...
That cupcake was so good- you got a recipe?" She laughed, leaning back, her hair floofed out.- Interacting with: @Adelaide Barlowe @Marius Brown - Mentioning: @Lillian Locile @Phoenix Adair -

TABLE 16 | Sweethearts Tea Party
SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED!
@Eliza Corrids | @Marius Brown | @Adelaide Barlowe
@Lillian Locile | @Phoenix Adair
It seemed that Orion was not finished with his parade of roses just yet, because as the next song started a batch of fresh roses started to descend from the ceiling. This time the roses were white, blending in with the decor but still different enough for the first batch. The roses would glide downwards land only at the tables that had not received any of the first batches; 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, and 16. Having already received their roses, tables 2, 3, 4, 8, 10, 11, 13, and 15 were now perhaps a bit less confused and could submit their requests to the harpist. (PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOUR TABLE HAS RECEIVED A ROSE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REQUEST A SONG OR SPOTLIGHT THIS ROUND).
@Adelaide Barlowe would discover that she was one of the individuals selected. If she were to pick up the rose, she would discover a small note attached that read the following:
The students had a choice to make or risk the chance of a certain French man making the choice for them.YOU'VE BEEN SELECTED AS ONE OF OUR BACHELORS / BACHELORETTES. THE MUSIC IS ABOUT TO START SO GO FIND AND KISS YOUR VALENTINE! DON'T FORGET TO GIVE THEM THE ROSE!
P.S. For those too shy I will gladly pick for you
-O.L.
You've received a rose!
Your character has the ability to select one person to give the rose to. This person will be considered their 'valentine'. The OOC purpose for this is to A.) Add even more drama or B.) give characters an opportunity to move tables.
To move tables you must message a mod which table you wish to move to before it is confirmed. Please tell the mod your in character reason for wanting to move to this table. Why? This is to prevent tables from becoming too populated, as this is not the only round we will be doing this.
Keep in mind that once you move tables, you will be unable to return to your original table unless you are given permission to do so!
If you do not pick a 'valentine' by the next mod post, Orion will pick one for you. Trust me, you'll want to pick your own!
CONFESSION AND SONG REQUESTS
Several students decided to take the opportunity to confess their feelings. Just not in the... Erm, traditional way. The spotlight would bob its way over to Erin Ryan, who was just announcing how Nicholas McCowan made her feel... Or something?The song requests also started to come in..."Can't remember saying this but it is probably true," not that she actually believed it but where is the potential fun in that? "As I like my boys a bit plump and you ████ need a bit of meat on your bones I AM JUST WORRIED ABOUT YOU, please accept this gift. Also, know I will suck the █████████████ MEANNESS out of anyone that tries to steal you from me." The areas where there were blocked words, well she used her imagination...Anonymous would like to dedicate Space Age Love Song to all the Bachelors and Bachelorettes, go forth and love, you silly kids!Annie would like to dedicate a song to Serena Towers, Wannabe by the Spice Girls. She adds in, "long time no chat, hope things are going well my friend."
HOW YOU LIKE THESE CUPCAKES?
Although the children had decorated the cupcakes (for the most part) the night prior, Orion had made the cupcakes himself on the night of the 12th. He had put a lot of work into the dozens upon dozens of sweets. Thankfully he was a competent baker after years of crafting late-night pastries. Unfortunately, he was also sleep-deprived, which seemed to be a common problem throughout the night. If anything were to help Orion realize he needed help with his restlessness, it was the Tea Party.
That being said, there was something... Special about a few batches of cupcakes. As the night of the 12th wore on, Orion had become tired and had accidentally used a different ingredient. Amortentia. He had realized his mistake and had gone to toss the batches out, but unfortunately, his sweet tooth got the best of him and he took a quick snack break to munch on some of the sweets the house-elves themselves had made. A common ingredient in their food being a forgetfulness potion. Oh dear, it seemed the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor had forgotten all about the cupcakes' secret ingredient.
As @Adelaide Barlowe and @Eliza Corrids bit into their cupcake, they might notice it smelled quite possibly like their favourite thing. They just may find the next person who met their gaze to be rather appealing...
Amortentia Rules
1. Consent is important. Please ask your character's victim new sweetheart if it is okay to have your character become obsessed with them.
2. Seeing your own reflection in a teacup is a valid option.
3. For this round only, the length of the effects of the Amortentia is up to you. Taking a bite after this round means accepting the chance that your character might have received an Amortentia cupcake, and your character will be affected for the entire round.
4. If I have missed your character biting into a cupcake, please let me know. From this point on we are asking that if you eat a cupcake, you place the information on the bottom of your post to make it easier for mods.

Marius frowned, his brows knitted. His brown eyes staring at Adelaide and another girl at the table - the one with curly red hair - as if the two of them had just had too much butterbeer. What were they talking about? "What cupcakes? What letters?" he asked both girls confusedly.
He figured that they would continue their... state of not being too sober, or if they had been sober all this time, they would either realise they had just made a mistake and that he knew nothing at all or start to accuse him of lying. Either way though, he thought it would be better to honestly admitted his ignorance of this matter to them. Whether the two would believe him or not, that would be for them to decide, he had no control over it.
He got to admit it to himself though, the red-haired girl was a bit scary. Pointing her finger at his face, she reminded him of a hag. Not that her face was ugly, it was just her position. And then she started to say something about not wanting a younger lover, and Marius shrugged. Oh well, her choice, although he thought it was not very nice of her to say so; someone might get the wrong idea that it was wrong for people to be with someone of different age.
Adelaide, though, was polite. He wondered what got into her, was it really too much butterbeer? Or was she in such a sad mood that she confused things?
Shrugging, he tried to lighten up the mood and, lifting his of cup tea, he sincerely said to everyone on the table, "Come, let's not spoil this friendly party. Cheers."

Having eyes, but not seeing beauty; having ears, but not hearing music; having minds, but not perceiving truth; having hearts that are never moved and therefore never set on fire - these are the things to fear.

Her gaze only strayed from Marius when she felt something float down beside her. She turned, mouth opening in a gasp at the sight. A rose! She picked it up delicately, reading the note attached to the rose:
YOU'VE BEEN SELECTED AS ONE OF OUR BACHELORS / BACHELORETTES. THE MUSIC IS ABOUT TO START SO GO FIND AND KISS YOUR VALENTINE! DON'T FORGET TO GIVE THEM THE ROSE!
P.S. For those too shy I will gladly pick for you
-O.L.
Five minutes ago, Adelaide would've thrown the rose away and adamantly pretended it didn't exist. But it seemed present Adelaide was a completely different person as she turned her gaze back onto Marius, "Oh Marius! It's fate! You certainly need to be my Valentine!" She would lean over, attempting to place a kiss on Marius's cheek. Whether or not he accepted the kiss, she would throw the rose at him and stare at him dreamily, her face resting in her hand.
"Has anyone ever told you you have beautiful eyes? And your nose, it's so cute! Actually, everything about you is perfect. I am very sorry for rejecting you earlier, but I promise I didn't mean it. I don't know what came over me!" The poor boy probably had whiplash from how quickly Adelaide seemingly changed her mind about him, but it was clear that she wasn't acting herself and future Adelaide will likely be avoiding Marius for the rest of eternity. Go Valentine's Day!

Her hair is curled and she has blush formed into pink hearts just centered underneath her eyes -She blinked her eyelashes, and they fluttered, her pupils doubling in size as she stared across the table at him. She suddenly.. didn't hate him. In fact, as she had swallowed the cupcake moments ago, she felt.. attracted to him. .. Wh- brownies? It smells.. so good.. She stood up, looking over at Marius. "Dear- I- I'm so sorry.. I didn't mean to shout at you- you're the one thing I need and-" She was cut off by Adelaide's flailing and swooning and- flirting. Ew. She stepped out of her chair, turned around, and pushed it in. She tucked her hair behind her hair, and turned her head to the side. "No- Don't listen to her. I'm the only one whom matters to you. You matter to me, and- oh I'm so sorry- please- be my valentine- not hers-" She puffed her dress, walking over with a quiet click of her heels. "Please- you're the light of my life- and I don't know what I'd do without you- Here- your letter says that too- I can't help it-" She was blinded by these sudden feelings for him. Her eyes looked him up and down. He was good looking, she couldn't lie. That suit.. that hair- much better than Cody-
"Has anyone ever told you you have beautiful eyes? And your nose, it's so cute! Actually, everything about you is perfect. I am very sorry for rejecting you earlier, but I promise I didn't mean it. I don't know what came over me!" Adelaide swooned. Eliza scoffed, her eyes glaring down at the 1st year Ravenclaw girl.
"She's a liar Marius- You should have heard the conversation we had before you walked in- before you became my one and only-" She stepped in front of Adelaide. "You- I- oh my-" She turned away. "It's all happening so quickly- you- You don't love me.." Liz sobbed loudly, her hand on her forehead. "Have her- not me- Oh- the agony-" She didn't feel ill- but like a compass within her heart was guiding her to him. Jesus- take the wheel to my heart and guide me to my love- This was going to be one heck of a night.- Interacting with: @Marius Brown @Adelaide Barlowe - Mentioning: @Lillian Locile @Phoenix Adair -

What was wrong with these two? They definitely had had too much Butterbeer, or so Marius decided.
But even though he had decided so, the Hufflepuff was still both shocked and scared seeing how much their attitudes changed in a blink of an eye. Adelaide, who had earlier told him that he was a wonderful person but was nothing more than a friend for her, now acted all flirtatiously around him. The curly-haired girl, who Marius assumed was older than him and whose name he did not even have a clue about, changed her unreasonable anger to heavy pleads; she begged Marius to choose her as his Valentine and not the first year Ravenclaw.
The eleven-year-old boy was flabbergasted; for a moment, he was not sure what to do - Should I leave, sit here in silence and awkwardness, or call a professor? But when Adelaide tried to place a kiss on his cheek, Marius swiftly moved his upper body backward, his hands automatically pushed the girl at the same time, it was both gently and firmly.
Presumably at the sight of Adelaide's attempt, the redhead started to bawl, crying about how agonising it was for her to see that Marius would fall for the Ravenclaw's court.
That was the last straw. In a quick movement, Marius stood straight. "Get a grip, both of you!" he said, perhaps half-shouted, firmly as if he had been a teacher or a parent talking to a misbehaving child. "I'm nobody's Valentine, okay? I wrote a letter to no one, sent to cupcake, and now I'm saying no to everyone who might ask me! I have no interest in romance as of today!"

The Ravenclaw ignored Eliza's pleas of heartache, she was about to continue a conversation with Marius when his outburst had made her silent in shock. "W-what?" Adelaide pouted at her Valentine, "But you sent me a letter! I said yes! What do you mean no? Don't do this Marius! Just ignore her," she gestured with her hand in Eliza's direction, "she doesn't see you the way I see you! You're so amazing! We can work this out!" Adelaide reached out for Marius's hand, but halfway there, everything rushed back in full clarity; every sense and every feeling that she had felt previous to whatever she had just been feeling for Marius. The strange effect that had overcame her mysteriously disappeared, and she staggered slightly in surprise. "What just happened?" She asked in confusion, before the thoughts of her previous actions from the past approximately 10 minutes resurfaced in her mind.
Adelaide Barlowe had never swore before, but she didn't much no how else to express how she was feeling right now, "What the fuck?!" She yelled, "What the hell just happened? Marius, I swear to you, I don't know why I acted like that. I don't like you like that, at all." The blonde thought back to the last thing she done before that strange feeling washed over her, and her brain quickly connected the dots. She spun around to the half eaten cupcake on her plate, "Merlin, there was Amortentia in the damn cupcakes. Who the hell put Amortentia in the cupcakes? That isn't fucking funny!" The first year girl was fuming now, if it wasn't already obvious with the words spewing out of her mouth. She rounded on Marius, "You," she pointed a finger at him in accusation, "did you think your little letter was funny, huh? Did you? It wasn't funny. Stop lying and saying you didn't write a letter, because you did," Adelaide grabbed the letter from Marius that she had discarded on the table and threw it at him, not caring if he would catch it or not, "read that and tell me who it's signed from. That isn't funny, Marius."
She ran a hand through her hair in frustration, she was also well aware of the fact that technically, whether the two liked it or not, Marius was her Valentine for the night. She had stupidly given him the rose in her Amortentia daze and now she was paying for it. She'd have to deal with that later though, because she needed to get to the bottom of why Marius had sent her a letter in the first place. This night had turned out to be more of a disaster than Adelaide had originally expected.

Her hair is curled and she has blush formed into pink hearts just centered underneath her eyes -Eliza squeaked in light agony and frustration at Marius. He was so sweet even in his state of, well, insanity. He didn't understand her, how she felt and saw him. Her heart felt so warm thinking about him, and she shook her head. "Well- you don't think I'm good enough- Then I, I don't know what to say. You're so sweet, and you're all I think about, and with her sitting here," She gestured at Adelaide in a hasty matter, in return of her gesturing. "I.. marius. I'm not drunk. Drunk with love, and care, sure. Your eyes, your smile, it curls at the ends in a perfect way. Adelaide thinks she knows what she's talking about. I just.. oh never mind. I swear, these feelings, I.." She shook her head. He wouldn't get it. He never would.
"Marius, I don't care if you don't feel the same way, or think that I'm as awesome, and smart, and unique and clever as you, well gosh," She laughed. Now I wish I had sent Amortentia to you."
She turned her head to look at Adelaide. She was shaking her head, and cursing. Amortentia? Had he sent a potion to Adelaide to make her, Liz, jealous? Woah.. that was some serious language. Eliza had to deal with this mess, this confusion, and these deep emotional feelings. "Come on, Adelaide. Don't use language. It's okay, he's just, it wasn't his fault, and.." She watched Adelaide's letter be tossed onto the table, between Liz, Marius, and .. Liz was beginning to feel bad for Lillian, having to watch this. She looked back at Marius.

PLEASE NOTE: This will be the last mod post as our next in-character event, the Blossom Ball, will be starting within the next few weeks. You may continue to roleplay and feel free to state that your character ate a cupcake and ended up under the effects of Amortentia but we ask that the effects stay strictly within this event. This means you cannot claim your character stole Amortentia laced cupcakes from this event.
However, Orion will be keep an eye on the threads, and there is still a table full of teachers, so please try not to do anything he wouldn't do!

So this was all he came for? Two drunk students and a perpetually quiet one who did not seem to be bothered by all madness around her?
Even though both the tea and the biscuits were superb, Marius was feeling terribly disappointed and sad. He had looked forward to this event all day, thinking that he would get to know more nice kids and potentially befriend them, but it turned out this party was no fun at all. Instead, it was embarrassing for everyone (or so he assumed). Those drunk kids too, bet they would be embarrassed once they were sober enough. As for Marius himself, he just hoped there was no one witnessing what had just happened between him and those two.
As if induced by a magician's snap of fingers, Adelaide was suddenly back to her angry mode. The Ravenclaw let out a cuss word; Marius shuddered and made a gesture as if to cover his ears. "I told you it was not mine!" he screamed at her accusation. "It may be from another Marius. If you wish, I shall be happy to write some words, on a separate sheet of paper, with my own hand while you all witness me doing it. Then we can see whether my handwriting resembles the one on that crazy letter."
The curly-haired girl was still behaving all clingy, and while the Hufflepuff was thankful for the way she told her junior not to use such language, he was still not a fan of her behaviour toward him. If none of them sobered up, he might as well leave.
