In the time before the duel started, Piérre had gently threaded the carnation into the hair behind her left ear and then twisted the garland of violet Campanualas so that they would like out in places underneath her hair, well out of the way of any potential ocular distraction on her behalf.

Spells flew, as did a small joking jibe from Piérre. “Hey! You ever tried taking up blind dueling? You don't know what you're missing! Obscuro!” The silky blindfold flew from Piérre towards one of the foreigners. However, his aim was a little off, and the cloth harmlessly unravelled off to the duelist's side and not over the eyes like Piérre had wanted. It was his first ever spell in a duel... He deserved a break for a first-timer, didn't he?

“Oh... Well... Who could have seen that coming?” He emphasized the pun greatly, trying to both keep his and his ally's spirits high.

Already he was beginning to incant his next spell, perpetually in motion and ever on his feet to act and react.

Meanwhile, it seemed the other foreign student had responded with surprise at Piérre's shoutout. “NO SWEARING!
THAT'S BAD!” Piérre exclaimed in a singing voice.

In the corner of his eye, Piérre spotted Figaro in the stands, the little streak of silver having found a friend in another pale student Valetin Schnell (@Aida Mórsgor-Ama Ellwood). The Bengal had noted the small alluring motions of the albino, and had ventured close with light curiosity before hesitating for only a heartbeat and then leaping into the boy's lap, no doubt purring enough to bring down a barn.

@Callie Jensen @Beatrice Langstreth around ONE HOUR (and a few minutes left) until the deadline. Please do send in your actions and post your reply if you want it to be accounted for. Thank you!

ROUND TWO

The replacement moderator couldn't help but think—as he watched the next set of spells fly by—that Slytherin (and by association, his inspiration: Dmitri) was very misunderstood.

These other students were just as savagely opportunistic, if not more!

What else would you call kicking someone while they are down?

Three different duelists took aim at poor Callie, and boy did they not miss. Dylan with his aggressively blazing Incendio Duo, Pierre with his raging Ventus, and Everly's quick and precise Flipendo; all three connected in a shower of flame and sparks. The hapless Ravenclaw staggered under the influence of the different offensive spells, unable to move, and the moderator couldn't help but wince.

On one side, Felix seemed to be making a show out of how many times he can miss with his Incendio Duo. At the moment, he would be able to boast about two failures.

Beatrice on the other hand, took care of the blindfold snaking around Callie's head, careful not to get burnt, herself, by the fire that was slowly eating at her ally's clothes.

Overall, things weren't looking quite good for the Ravenclaws.

Maybe Callie needed to rethink her whole lucky charm collection. Or maybe she needed to consider making some kind of sacrifice to whatever almighty power put her in this situation to begin with. Then again the poor girl was used to things going pear shaped in her duels…but she wasn’t used to being abused to this scale all at once. It was…overwhelming to say the least.

“Any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to meeeeee! Tooo meeeeee! Ventus!” Piérre trilled out as a burst of wind swirled across the terrain and over the older Ravenclaw student. Of the three attacks, Piérre couldn't help but notice that his strike had been the least harmful. Even as he saw the Ravenclaw battered and beaten by a painful Flipendo and a powerful Incendio by his partner (which had seemed a perfect hit, though the kid didn't know if it was due to his laid back energy fueled by mild adrenaline or because of something else entirely), Piérre winced at the idea of being subjected to the same attacks. He had been lucky so far, but he didn't know for how much longer his luck would last.

Readying his next move, Piérre noted a spell whizz by Everly. “Nice dodge, buddy!
Told ya that the carnation is good luck!” he grinned happily.
