Why did he sign up for this? No clue. Spin the bottle spinning it, whoever it landed on you had to hug or kiss. He would hug at all possible chances, maybe kiss on the cheek. He had never kissed anyone on the lips. He never really thought about it.
He was wearing a pink sweater, that had a patch of magenta on the side. With some black pants. What he's wearing in the banner
Soon someone had spinner it. But could you really call it a spin? In did not move far at all. With the little movement that happened it landed on Nick. Looking up he saw someone that he didn't recognize.
They looked just as.nervous as Nick, he felt much better when she said that they were to hug. Yes, A hug is good" He gave her a small smile, "Im pretty comfortable with hugs"
He would give the girl a light hug as well. It was short and kind of awkward, so was her smile when if was done and over with. He would return with a small smile of his own. For the first one that landed on him, it wasn't to bad. It could have definitely been worse. Much worse.

Seren walked shyly up to the group, trying to figure out what to do. She had realized, as she had processed the rules, that she had REALLY not realized what she was signing herself up for. However, the last thing she wanted was to ruin the game for others, even if what she really wanted to do was run, run away.
It did not help that, as she looked around, she only recognized ONE person. And even that person, she barely knew, as they had really only just met in their mutual tent. Nonetheless, she gave Monica a nervous smile and nodded when Monica asked to sit next to her.
"Yes... Yes, of course. Better to be with someone familiar, right?" Her voice was soft, just audible to the girl next to her. "As for me... I wanted to sign up for something, and everything else seemed a bit much for me. I... Honestly did not really understand the rules and what I was getting into until after, when I reread everything. I am more than a touch nervous, I do not mind admitting."
She paused, watching as another stranger spun the bottle. When it slowed to a stop, pointing directly at Seren, the slender girl froze, her blue eyes wide and nervous as she waited for what was about to come. What would the stranger choose to do?
Seren had never kissed anyone, and she was quite panicky at the idea of this being her first.
That said, she was not going to back down. She gulped and whispered "Oh My..."

Playing as coraline harvey
spin the bottle! What fun. Coraline didnt really realize what it was, she just had a really pretty new quill with her and she saw people writing their names on paper. She felt a bit left out so she took out her new pink sparkly quill and wrote her name in loopy handwriting. She soon followed a few days later a large crowd of students. She was utterly lost in her mind. Why was she even here?
She figured out what spin the bottle means and was amused. She sat criss cross and hummed softly, watching the game around. Heres the thing. Coraline liked girls and boys. To her, it was normal. She never realized there was a certain term for it and she never realized she needed to tell people. It was just always something about her. So she wasnt very stressed about who the bottle would land on. Eventually it was her turn and she spun the bottle with a smile. Eventually it landed on a very pretty girl. Coraline was not crushing, but she did admit she was very nice looking. She smiled at the girl. "hello. Im coraline." she didnt think kissing was weird. She didnt realize it was weird. She leaned in for a quick kiss.

This was the one game Quinn was not looking forward to. Spin the bottle, she signed up for it for some reason. It would be to late to take her name off. Quinn was no quieter, so she would still play. Even if she didn't want to.
She would find a seat. Not really caring who she sat next to. It didn't matter much to her. She would hope that whoever landed on her or whoever she landed one was someone she didn't know, preferably a person that went to a different school. That way if they kissed she wouldn't have to see them.
That would have been her ideal interaction.
Reena, she was the one to spin it. Quinn knew her from the quidditch game where they played on the same team. And from a few other things. When she skinned the bottle Quinn would not expect it to land on her. That was a shock that left her staring at Reena mouth open from surprise.
She quickly snapped out of her daze as she must have looked stupid. She figured it would be best to tell her what she was comfortable with. Hopefully avoiding an awkward situation. "I umm.. I would be comfortable with anything.. " she told Reena. She would be the most comfortable with a hug. Kissing was not completely out of the photo. It was the game after all.
As Quinn waited for Reena action she though that she had the worst luck. First someone from school. Second it was someone she knew. Third Quinn wasn't sure exactly what Reena would choose to do.

| === | Reena, unlike coraline harvey, knew exactly what she signed up for. She's never actually kissed anyone before, and she didnt want to rush it. Kisses had more germs than a toilet seat. Which was gross. And she was pretty sure the germs doubled when it came to boys. Reena didnt have feelings for anyone so she didnt know if she liked a certain gender or not. So why would she sign up for spin the bottle? Well she thought it would be fun at the time because it was a daring game. Then she sort of realized she would have to be with people. With eye contact, and shudder- physical contact. Awful idea. But she wasnt backing down. She wore her big yellow shirt with a doodle of shakespeare on it. It said 'stop being dramatic. You're not Shakespeare ' she wore knee length jean shorts and a thin plaid shirt that was unbuttoned. She sat down once she arrived and tapped her fingers on her knees. She watched everyone take their turns and finally it was her turn. She spun the bottle without any thought and watched it spin as if she was watching herself out of her body. It landed on Quinnn Root. Was it better or worse that reena knew her? Reena wanted her first kiss ti mean something. She walked forward. "how about a hug?" she nodded and wrapped her arms around quinn for a quick hug. | === |

The day had arrived. It was time to play Spin the Bottle or as Hogwarts had renamed it Twirl the Flagon. Marina wondered if there was a difference between a flagon and a bottle. Once she got a closer look at the flagon Marina could tell there was indeed not much of difference between the two.
Marina had been exited for this day, though she was dreading it as well. Why was she putting herself in uncomfortable situations on purpose? Watching other people navigate this game that is why, Spin the Bottle could be full of drama.
Spin after spin happened. Some kisses, some hugs. Nothing too exiting. People continued to spin the bottle it did not land on her, which Marina was quite happy about. And then it did. So much for avoiding uncomfortable situations.
Marina listened as Monica introduced herself. "Hello Monica, I am Marina. I do not believe we have met before." Marina said, she felt like she should say something else but did not know what else there was to say. She had forgotten how awkward this game was.
A quick simple cheek kiss. Well at least that was over with she thought. Well over for now at least.

MODERATION POST—Round IIHiro Bakugo would take point in this particular tent, opening with a spin that resulted on Gryffindor co-captain Pax Zhang. Apparently history would present itself in the former's challenging air. Despite having been the one to spin, Hiro refused to make the first move, daring Pax to be the one to initiate a hug, which they would. But not without a roll of their eyes and pointed comment about a temper tantrum.
Stephen Schwartz was next, the Ilvermorny yankee having spent the better part of a year grooming himself just for this occasion. First impressions were everything, and he wanted to make a lasting impression! Apparently. Miss Ayako Yamamura would be the lucky recipient of his efforts, daringly offering the boy "dealer's choice". It would be no surprise that he would take what he could get, ticking off "first kiss" as they met lips. Only.. it wouldn't be all fireworks and palpitations for Sophia. Perhaps the boy needed a bit of practice.
Monica Evans would be third to spin, her head turning on its own axis as thoughts began to fly. Uncertainly racked her brain, but nothing would stop her from pushing through the nerves to meet the challenge. Eyes closed, and throwing caution to the wind, she tried to plant a kiss on Marina Oriel's cheek. Marina, equally uncomfortable in the situation, introduced herself awkwardly before letting the kiss plant. Quick. Simple. Done. One might think the pair of them would bow out then and there before getting into a position they regretted. But no. There they would remain for round two.
Vivienne Beaumont was keen to maximize her experience at camp, signing up for anything and everything, but would find pause with the game of spin the bottle. Another hoping to save her first kiss for someone special, she had offered a hug to Esmeray Rosslyn who was more than content with that offer, having no real intention of kissing anyone herself anyway. One quick hug later, and the two were back in the game, more confident for the rounds to come.
Chiaki Hiroi, wanting to squeeze what last precious experiences she could from her waning time in Britain, would pursue the challenge of the game. A hug would be offered to Nick Iris. Seemingly a bit indifferent about the prospects of the game, he was more than comfortable to receive her hug, as short and awkward as it might have been.
Coraline Harvey was amused to find out the real nature of the game she'd signed up for, enticed no matter the result of the bottle's pointing. She found Seren Yong, her target, to be "very nice looking". There would be no hesitation as she went in for a quick kiss, stealing away Seren's very first kiss in a brief and gentle brushing of lips.
Last to the spin for the first round would be Reena Delgado. Ironically, despite have no desire to kiss, she had signed up for the game knowing exactly what it was. Of course, kissing wasn't the only outcome, and there were plenty of reasons to want to participate. The acquisition of juicy gossip, for one. Without further ado, her spin would land on Quinn Root, a known peer. Shock would reflect itself in Quinn's face as the stoic Reena approached. Despite being up for the challenge, the cub would opt for a hug. Quick, and painless.

after that hug of and after the last person to spin went. The first round would be over. He would go up to spin first. Might as well get it over with, and he didn't spin in that last round.
He walked up glancing at who it could land on. He smiled at Chiaki again in case she was still flustered. He gave the bottle a spin and watched it spin around the group at least two times. It slowed down, before pointing to Chiaki.
He walked over to her, Surprised at the two pairing again"This is unexpected, Don't you think? I mean what are the chances" he let out a small laugh. He would have liked someone else, as how awkward the hug was. But fate must have had different plans.
He smiled at her, "How crazy would it'd be if we got each other next round two?" he was stalling trying to make her comfortable. He nodes telling himself to just go for it. So he reached out and gave her a kiss on her cheek. As he would not be kissing her on the lips. That would not do. But on the cheek? He could handle that. He smiled at her again before going back to his seat.

"Ayako-san! He just kissed you! Do you not care?"
The next round quickly approached, and the guy Chiaki had just hugged-Nick, she thought she had heard him being referred to-decided to spin first. By some sheer twist of fate, the bottle slowed to a halt pointing at her.
"This is unexpected, Don't you think? I mean what are the chances?" Nick walked over to her, whose eyes were wide. Was this...fate? "How crazy would it'd be if we got each other next round two?"
"...Yes. Chance. Very...crazy." She whispered, face reddening even faster.
She shut her eyes, not wanting to see what would happen. Feeling his face grow nearer, a gasp escaped and her eyes shot open as his lips landed on her cheek.
"...Thank you."

"If you consider playing a game by its rules a temper tantrum, I think all of us are having one. Including you. If you weren't, you wouldn't have hugged me just now."
Pax rolled their eyes. Deep down, they knew that Bakugo was right, but they'd never admit it, instead settling for an eye roll with a tired and little over-dramatic sigh.
The round progressed, of which it was of little interest to them, though one interaction did catch their attention. A Japanese student was kissed on the lips by an American student, and had absolutely no reaction whatsoever. Pax couldn't help but react to that with a raise of the eyebrow. Someone was similar to them.
When the second round began, Pax decided to step up and go sooner rather than later. Upon spinning the bottle, they would find it pointing to the expressionless Japanese student. Pax smiled at them, walking over to them.
"Guessing you're not a fan of romance? Well, neither am I. So I'm gonna give you a hug."
They leaned in and wrapped their arms around the girl, giving her a short embrace, before stepping back. "You seem cool. We should hang out at some point. Maybe whenever you come back next."Reducio
