Faerietale Endings Fall Ball 2022 Locked

======================== It was harder than it looked to get a pink apple out from the bucket. He glanced around the area a bit. No one appeared to be watching. Perfect. Hiro scooped a pink apple out of the bucket with the aid of a hand. It was much easier to get an apple in this way. Fingers were better. Better than your teeth at any rate. Now that he had the apple, Hiro bit off a chunk of the flesh and chewed, enjoying the fruit he'd selected from the refreshments. He picked up his extremely full plate and ate some of the stew. Then, he filled his mouth with some pie and then some pudding. Everything tasted so delicious! He swallowed some of the red liquid in the goblet and was about

to eat some more food off his plate when he heard a familiar voice call out his name. Hiro glanced around but didn't see anyone in the same vicinity as him right now. That meant they weren't here.

The pink haired boy turned around and let his dark eyes flicker over the crowds gathered around. Ah, there was someone, who appeared as if she was hopping up and down and waving to get his attention. Oh, it was that attractive girl from summer camp that he'd met and hung out with for a time! Monica. How lovely that they would run into eachother at the fall ball, like he'd said before it must have been destiny that the two had met again. "Hey!!! Nica!!!" Hiro called back to the girl.

He reached up to wipe some crumbs or smudges of food away from his mouth, just in case there were any there. Taking a quick sip from the goblet again, Hiro flashed her a smile from a distance away and motioned for him to come over to him. She looked as if she was with someone. But since she'd looked excited to see him, he figured she'd probably come over and say hello at least before going back to her date. Or whoever she'd come with. At least they could chat for a short time, right?

"How've you been?" Hiro asked when she eventually came over.

Ah, the Fall Ball. These balls were probably the most interesting thing that happened all year. But this time, it was strange, because though Drew had still decided to go to the Fall Ball, his friends hadn't reached out to him this time. Drew hadn't talked to one of his best friends, Charles, in forever, and he didn't know why.

Whenever he thought about it, he had to suppress his anger. It was like everybody important to him just left. First his parents were gone, forced to leave him with his grandmother without an explanation. And then his best friend, somebody he considered a brother, simply disappeared from his life. Cassie and Scarlett and Ayu and Ro had all been friends he was able to make through Charles, and he didn't really even know if they were going to show up.

So why would he even bother going?

Drew straightened his jacket. It was a really fancy outfit, since he was supposed to look like a prince. Drew wasn't even sure he had worn anything quite this fancy before. Drew had gone to his first fall ball in a dark blue suit, but since then, his outfits had swiftly declined in fanciness (considering the next two dances, he dressed up as a power ranger and then one of his friends).

He didn't even know if he wanted to go any more. Maybe he should have just lounged around and did nothing while everybody else was having a good time. His cousin who went here always told him the library was a great place to be if you wanted quiet. But that was the thing- he didn't want quiet. Quiet was suffocating. He wanted it to be loud. He wanted to yell with his friends. He wanted to have friends.

For as many people knew him at Ilvermorny, he really didn't seem to have a lot of friends that would stick by him when push came to shove.

But it was fine. He would find somebody he knew at the ball, right?

Drew entered the ball, taking a look around. It was a little bit spooky. From his lack of knowledge at fairy tales and his brief education, he learned that many of the tales told to kids today were a great deal less gruesome than the original tales told by authors like the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. Cinderella told nowadays was all wonderful, with her cool ball gown and love at first sight with the prince. In the original, people cut parts of their feet off at the end to fit in the glass slipper. That was just gross.

Drew took a look around, scanning the crowds for anybody he knew. There were people from Ilvermorny that he recognized, and a few people he had seen around these kinds of events before, but none that he wanted to approach.

But there was this one girl. A dark haired girl standing alone, looking a little bit lost. She looked young, at least younger than Drew was, but in her white dress, Drew couldn't deny she looked nice. But she looked... lonely.

It was kind of Drew's own fault that he was alone at the ball. He brought that upon himself by not making plans with anybody. But there was no way he was going to let it be his fault that somebody else was left alone at the ball. Loneliness was one of the most crushing feelings in the world.

But she was then approached by somebody. Drew stood there for a moment, not entirely sure what to do. Maybe he should have come with a more concrete plan. Drew backed up, watching the people come in and pretending like he was waiting for somebody. Somebody who probably wouldn't come.[/b][/color]

@Howard White

Bloom waited patiently for Howard to find a "cure" for his eyes. It was difficult to look like. It reminded her of muggle cartoons the way they looked. It was definitely sore eyes, although she hoped they weren't sore at all. When he was done, she pulled him towards the main ball, also making sure that he wasn't going to trip and fall.

Bloom went straight to the dance floor. She was not going to miss out on a dance in her dress with Howard. Bloom placed her arms around his neck, feeling its nape and placed her head on his chest for a few minutes before she looked back up to him, ignoring his eyes and got on her tippy toes to be closer to his ear.

"Howard White... I love you," she said, her eyes looking at his jaw. At the moment, his mouth was the only expression she would be able to see with his eyes covered. A part of her wanted to kiss him, but she had already made a move back. He had expressed to her that he loved her earlier-- prior to his eyes going big. Now, she shared her feelings. Bloom was in love with Howard and will always be. There was no changing her mind.

She then giggled and shrugged. "Very odd way for us to share our love with your eyes so big. But I do. Even if you look like a cartoon character," she said with a smile. "Though I think you should find a cure for that if it's not going down any time soon," she said, looking around if there was a cure right under their nose to grab.

ABILITIES: Lovely Creature & Muggle Condition

Those who had picked up a 'faulty' goblet would be granted a couple more moments to enjoy the sweet beverage. But inevitably, some of the critters would protest against the spell but only a few managed to break free.

@Maggie Hawkins was one of the unlucky few. Noticeably, the metal in her hand was oddly warm to the touch but after a few sips from the drink, it wasn't long before the goblet shifted into a grey creature that was a rat. With its fur drenched with the sticky burgundy liquid, the critter was certainly upset that it was also held against its will. And with that it attacked the Slytherin, biting her hand hard.

Another one who wasn't so lucky was @Simon Kincaid, he had managed just a few sips of his drinks before his goblet shifted. Another angry and very wet rat. It would lunge at his hand, teeth sinking into the dhampir's finger and likely drawing blood.

The critter of @AngelFyre McCubbin's was more in theme of Halloween. After a couple more minutes in the girl's hand, it would shift into an eight-legged creature, a spider, crawling up her arm. The spider wasn't too happy being drenched in punch, it was also confused and would lash out at the girl with a painful bite. Her hand would sting from the venom for a while.

The rest of the goblets picked up, including the ones in the hands of @june selwyn, hiro@kim sato, milo@delilah stewart, chikao@hunter argentum, @monica evans, @serena towers, Agatha @Beatrice Langstreth, only grew warm, maybe even vibrating slightly in protest. Yet there was nothing much of a concern as those who held these goblets were fortunate to enjoy their drinks for the duration.

Hiro @kim sato was in for a pleasant ride. Taking a bite after successfully bobbing an apple, the effects would come in hot. A sudden urge to grin like a cheshire cat as a wave of euphoria and sheer glee washed over him.

Chiaki @pax zhang would also take a bite into an apple. They would suddenly feel the urge, a pressure in their lungs, to laugh. It was quite a pleasant feeling to let it all out as if under the spell of serenate spell.

@Serena tower took an apple, unbeknownst to her, the apple had been tapered with. The effects she would experience was an odd tingle in her head and a rush of thoughts that urged the very kind half-goblin to try her hand at some snarky speech.

Another one to be induced with a more pleasant set of effects was Amelia @lily blaze. An entirely wonderous state of mind for her to enjoy while it lasted. It was a pleasant high of only happiness and glee. Nothing else mattered but the euphoria she was feeling.

Another one, @rebecca loops would bob an apple together with his friend. The apple, like all others had been tapered with. This one was one rather mild, but set a tingle of thoughts in her head, sharpening her wit and making her next words a little bit more snarkier than usual. Sorry, what did you say?

cielle @ivy bellamy and @Jannette Applebottom seemed to have picked apples from the same tree, of course, they were coincidentally the same colour. It was one of the more unpleasant effects, as sour as both the apples were, they seemed to render their words incomprehensible.

Lastly, Hadrian Zuheir, in his stead ready to pick up some girls, he would gobble up an apple. Already good-looking as he was, it wouldn't hurt to be more attractive for sure? The effects of the apple seemed to have some effects in his features, making his jawline sleeker, hair shiner and face more chiselled with all his blemishes fading away. He was looking very, very hot. Over here, girls (and boys)!

OoC: Please let me know if your character has taken an apple or a goblet (drink) that I have not rolled for yet. It would help me if you mention under posts if you did. Any questions, about goblets and apples, please owl me. Just to let you know, this is not the main moderation, which is incharged by pierre. This is a 'side mod' for apples and goblets only. Have fun!

"Thanks Amelia!!" He thanked for the compliment. He smiled when she did, "Im happy that I didnt make you wait! I kinda forgot my tira, so thats why it took me a bit." He laughed.

As he made his way to the table he thought he heard Amelia say something, but thought nothing of it. Just like he thought Amelia had followed him. The thunderbird looked at all the food that was spread out on the table. "This all looks so good!! And smells good to" He smiled, unsure on what to eat. Following Amelia's lead Nick settled on an apple. He reached out to grab a nice red apple he hoped to be juicy. As Nick took a bite, pretty oblivious to what had happened to others; what he did notice was that Amelia had thrown her own apple on the ground. "Whats wrong? Was the apple sour?" He asked with concern. He thought it tasted fine, and took another bite. The apple she had bitten was on the ground and could be a potential tripping hazard. Did she not like apples? and only realize now? Maybe she was allergic?!

Nick was concerned, He sniffed the apple. Not sure why. "Are you ok?" He asked concerned for his friend.

─────Della and Astrid had been in the same team for the mutiny game at summer camp. A rather special experience that was unlike any other Werewolf game she had ever done in her life. And Astrid had found it very funny to see people panicking at the sight of the supposedly dead students. In any case, she had told herself that she and Della were the two least suspicious people in the game. And it had been quite a nice meeting, even if they hadn't said much to each other.
─────— Astrid, right? Hi! I love your dress.
─────— Yours is beautiful too!
─────Della's red dress was absolutely beautiful, and Astrid loved the lace details.
─────That's when a doll landed near the fountain where the two girls were talking. It was a beautiful redheaded doll, who absolutely didn't deserve to be thrown around like that. Astrid looked in the direction of where the doll had come from and, not seeing who could have thrown it, she repressed the insults she had in mind. She sighed and returned her attention to Della and the doll. The Gryffindor had asked the fairies for help in fixing the doll, but they had refused.
─────Astrid frowned as she heard a whisper coming from the doll's lips. Of course, this was Hogwarts and it was a ball, so obviously weird things were going to happen. The doll was indeed coming alive in Della's arms. It was quite difficult to scare Astrid, so she was only slightly surprised by these events. As the doll's head did a 360, the girl said:
─────— What's wrong with that doll? Do we agree that this is not normal?

Outfit=X

Not so long later after Rebecca went out to help Janette, Colin and the other Gryffindor boy left too. Violet ended up feeling weird and left alone without explanation, she wished she followed Rebecca to help Janette too, she should have been a good friend.
Minutes later, Red saw them back inside, on the dance floor. There were many students having fun there too, some drinking from goblets and some bobbing and eating apples.
Violet decided she wanted to join the action, so she left her previous scene and walked towards her slytherin friends. When she arrived there Jannette looked calmer and happier. She was looking for an apple after Rebecca. ‘’Hey both of you!” She called out to them excitedly. She first intended to speak to Janette about how she was feeling right now.
“Jannette! You seem better now, which I am glad about” She smiled at her sincerely. “Might I ask what happened?” She questioned but she knew she would be also totally fine if Janette would rather talk about something else.

“So what else are you guys doing?” Red then asked Janette and Rebecca while looking around the big crowded environment around her. “Having fun?” She added while grinning, feeling more glad Janette looked better than how she was seen before.
Remembering what she saw Janette doing before, Violet looked at a bucket with apples floating in the water and she decided she would get one too, not expecting what could happen later. Right now, she just wanted to relax and have fun!

─────If she had thought the nerves bad before, it was nothing compared to just how intense they were upon first setting foot inside the courtyard. Granted, Avery found that the sight and sound of small doll shrieking amongst a group of students didn’t particularly do much in the way of alleviating any of those nerves. Well that was...unnerving. She made a mental note to avoid whatever that mess was.

Shuffling off to one side of the walkway, the Hufflepuff is careful to avoid stepping on the hem of her black dress. An executive decision was made to avoid heels for the event. Given that she’d barely worn any throughout her life, she wasn’t sure she could handle the lifelong embarrassment that would likely follow a fall at her first ever dance. Instead, a pair of comfy all-black chucks were hidden away beneath the layers of black fabric. She was feeling immensely grateful for the decision at this point. Especially if the need to punt weird little dolls away at any point arose.

Setting up out of the way of any of the other ball-goers, Avery clasps her hands behind her back and peers out across the courtyard. A glance toward the entrance is spared once more. As she waits for her date to arrive, the spark of nerves does nothing to dissipate. If anything, the anticipation of it all only allows for it to grow. To try and distract her rapidly spiraling thoughts, the first year instead steers them towards the night that transpired in this very courtyard a week prior.

A small smile manages to break through as she glances towards the fountain. Beneath it all, there was still a spark of giddiness that had followed her the entirety of the week leading up to this moment. Avery still struggled sometimes to really believe any of it actually happened. The memory of bright hazel eyes shining back at her beneath a starlit night had been the subject of many a daydreams the past few days. Soft smile now firmly tugging at the corners of her lips, the first year briefly reaches up to readjust a small crown of roses, living and dead. It was certainly going to be a night to remember, she was at least sure of that much.

Items: A Stopwatch, Wand, White roses painted red, Mad Hatter Hat

"Beautiful night ain't it?" He whispered quietly to the blood red rose bouquet in his bandaged hands, he smiled delightfully at them, the paint had left satisfying streaks of white spots, that is what happens when you paint the roses red. Edward took off his beautifully ornate hat, dusting off the top and fixing the peacock feather that stood wonderfully against the dusty brown cloth, he adjusted it back on his head of crazy, curly, reddish-orange, hair. He had been working on the costume for months, he had grown-up loving the story Alice in Wonderland, it was an absolutely lovely, odd, story. But he also loved Tim Burton's films, so when the combo had come together Edward had fallen in love with it, immediately he got to work on creating an exact replica, it had taken 4 months of hard work. In a way he was already the Mad Hatter, he remembered a true story on where the term Mad Hatter had actually come from, it was 18th-19th century industrial workers had used mercury nitrate as part of creating felt from animal fur. The Mercury Nitrate was a very toxic it caused the wearers to exhibit slurred speech, tremors, irritability, shyness, depression, and other neurological symptoms, they became as mad as a hatter. Luckily for him he didn't use mercury for the process of creating his mad hatter hat, even though he considered it, but then realized that where would he get it as well as he was already as mad as a doorknob. As he watched everyone he spotted a couple familiar faces including @Beatrice Dupont his best friend, and @Bailey Glade the fellow outdoors lover, and @Avery McCall the quidditch player. He kept a sharp green eye out for a girl with long straight red hair, icy eyes, pale skin, and freckles. Hannah Blossom, they had met in the Library, she loved books a lot, she said her favorite book was The Tales of Beadle and Bard. He still hadn't gotten the time to read it, he realized he wasn't even sure he would recognize her, considering that she could be in a costume, he wasn't sure if it would be as unrecognizable as himself. He usually sun kissed skin hidden under white and pink make-up, his dark curious eyes replaced with cartoony green ones. Though under all the clothes and makeup, his smile and heart stayed the same. Edward had to compliment whoever created and planned the whole event it was really breathtaking, he smiled revealing the small gap between his large two front teeth, odd yet charming.
"Stories are the makings of our very child hood, so to forget a story is to forget to be a child," He smiled at the roses. "I wonder when she'll be here.
