Faerietale Endings Fall Ball 2022 Locked

Ye-jun chuckled quietly, seeing the boy struggle to compose himself. Not in the mean way of course, he would never. He just thought it was rather cute. “Don’t worry, you are doing fine.” He tried to reassure the boy. “…you showed up,” was added more as an afterthought. Almost absentmindedly in fact… like he didn’t even mean to. Thankfully, there was not much time to dwell on it and his compliment saved him from further embarrassing himself. “I’m pretty sure, yes.” He grinned at his date. “Besides, if I was, my clothes would be vastly different. Asian royalty probably wouldn’t dress like this.” That much was true. They’d most likely show up in hanbok. “Maybe if the theme allows at some point, you’d get to see what I mean.” He didn’t dare to presume they would go together again when it did but that didn’t mean they wouldn’t meet each other at all. If they stayed on good terms, surely they would at least say hello to each other? So far, they seemed to get along nicely.

In the end, the small talk didn’t take too much time. Jack was a man of action apparently and he was eager to grant Ye-jun’s wish as soon as he suggested it. The Beauxbatons student was also glad to hear his date didn’t intend to gamble with the food this evening. It would be shame if things got ruined before they even started. Speaking of ruining things… There was a commotion, coming from somewhere within the crowd and Ye-jun wondered whether they should go and check it out. Perhaps they needed help? The thought was discarded embarrassingly quickly. There were plenty people here to help if the situation demanded it and he would hope if it was something serious, adults would step in. Hopefully someone just drank from a wrong cup or something. Smiling, the Korean boy took the offered arm. Contrary to popular belief, he wasn’t on a date prior to today either so this was all new to him. New but certainly nice. “Onward then!” He nodded resolutely as they forwarded their steps toward the desired destination.

Logan was rather confused when Elsian told her that he had signed them up for something. Listening carefully to her best friend, the girl only shook her head with a laugh as the boy said it was probably going to be perfectly fine. Of course it would be perfectly fine when they did participate, at least the girl hoped, how dangerous could it really be.

The Hufflepuff laughed at the mention of Kitty taking over the tree with the goose, as she rather enjoyed spending time with the little spider. She was rather cute after all, not as cute as Sherlock of course. Glancing down at the cat, Logan clicked her tongue softly for the animal to follow as she followed Elsian around, curious as to how this game was going to play out. Things were going to get more interesting than they already had, that was for sure. The girl felt bad for leaving Aaron and Aly, but Elsian had been the one to ask her too the ball in the first place. She would fine the two later and apologize greatly. Glancing down at the small spider who now hung from her skirts, Logan sighed with a grin as she watched Sherlock watch the other pet with a glare.

It was that time of the year when another ball was upon them. The fall ball, which was naturally on Halloween was the main event of the night, along with a few other activities that were linked together. At first, Gray wasn't planning on going because San chose to sit it out. Although, after finishing off the rest of his homework for the day he couldn't help but come down to take a look at the celebrations going on.

Percival didn't really have a costume for the event either, so instead, he dressed in a buttoned T-shirt and smart jeans as he wasn't planning on staying for very long. If San was going, he would have made more of an effort to get something for the occasion. Thankfully, the event was being held in the courtyard. Now there was going to be little chance in getting his clothes dirty let alone bees attacking him like that one time.

Slowly, the slytherin walked in through the entrance and stopped close by. His arms folded while his cold blue gaze looked around. There were a few familiar faces about, but he didn't want to talk to them just yet. Instead, he leaned up next to a wall beside another lad who was waiting at the entrance. Unknownst to Gray, it was someone had known for a long time.

"Has there been much trouble yet?" he asked the boy nonchalantly, still oblivious as to who was behind the beard "By now, most of the place should be up in flames. Maybe the maturity of time has finally caught up with them..." Gray sighed, finally looking to the disguised Thomas "Are you here with anyone stranger?"

At first, Bubba thought that Sam was a little uneasy as to what this Elsian was up to but he wasn't really worried. It's not like they were doing anything wrong, they were just walking around together. "I mean, what's the worst he could do? Try to make fun of us for having a nice time together?" He asked with a combination smile and shrug. He wasn't worried at all, plus, everyone has that weird friend or family member that could be a little embarrassing or awkward. At least he was meeting Sam's early on. "We'll have to track him down later and see what he's up to." Her demeanor seemed to change the more she talked about him, less worried and more excited. That was more like it, having a good time again.

Bubba saw the guilty look cross Sam's face and thought he had a reasonable idea of what she was thinking. "No need to worry," he said, stopping to turn so he could look at her better. "I only have eyes for you," he said with a beaming smile. "No, honestly it was all a bit weird. First, this guy I'd never seen before was carrying a massive bouquet of flowers and just walked into me, well really he hit me with his flowers, I don't think it was on purpose it was just huge and I don't think he understood the dimensions." He paused for a second as the next face slid into his mind, "Then this girl, who I recognized as a fellow 'claw even if I don't know her name, she came up but it was just to talk to the boy. I think she was his date. Anyway she had this doll that he thought she'd given her but apparently... apparently he didn't because he just freaked the fuck out and threw the doll as far away as he could." The last two faces came into his head at the same time. "Then there was a random guy from another school, don't even remember his name. And then I saw Stephen Schwartz, he's from Ilvermorney, we were in the same tent at Summer Camp, he's a cool dude." He finally finished, almost needing to catch his breath he'd been talking for so long and so fast. "And then you arrived, and my night improved considerably."

"Spotify is great, I wish I could use it here," Bubba said with a sad smile. He wished he didn't have to lug his phonograph around every time he wanted to listen to music. Then he had a brilliant idea. "I don't know if I've told you this but I have a phonograph that works in Hogwarts, and a bunch of records for it if... I dunno you ever want to listen together." He didn't know why he was somehow nervous again. He was having a great time, she was having a great time, why wouldn't they listen to music together? He was probably overthinking again. He tried to conceal it but he was pretty sure the nerves he was feeling were coming through. Still, as he looked over at her again he saw that beautiful smile of hers crack open and he felt immediately at ease once again.

“Of course, I will let you know if that ever happens.” The girl promised without much hesitation. She couldn’t imagine a scenario where Flash would make her uncomfortable but realistically speaking, it was very much possible. The two of them seemed to understand each other almost perfectly yet she wasn’t naive enough to think they knew everything. One’s boundaries were not always obvious and needed to be learned overtime. Something that seemed like a stupid question could very well hit the nerve for the other person. Humans and their life experiences were too complicated not to make mistakes and both of them clearly kept some secrets they were not yet willing to share…

Eun-ji beamed at the boy when he agreed to have a dinner with her. He might have not fully understood the importance of sharing a meal with someone as her culture made it but that was okay. She knew and that was enough for now. She didn’t want him to overthink it too much. Briefly, the Ravenclaw wondered whether she should have offered to invite his friends as well but then discarded the idea. He already agreed, knowing it would be just the two of them so there was no need to make excuses. She could always offer later, there would be plenty opportunities in the future. At least she hoped there would. “It’s a deal then.”

The dancing, despite the rocky start, fell into place pretty easily. They seemed to be aware of each other movements as they often were of their thoughts. She let Flash pull her closer, something she didn’t even think possible but here they were…completely lost to the rest of the world. Her friend carried a heavy burden and Eun-ji knew it could affect her at some point too yet strangely, she felt incredibly safe in his arms. Like nothing could ever hurt her again. It was a silly thought of course but it was a delightful sentiment nonetheless. No one besides her father ever managed to make her feel this way and Flash did so regardless of her ever-present nervousness. Not that it was a bad one. No. Not at all. For a moment or two neither of them spoke a word before she finally decided to do so. It was meant to be a joke but the witch couldn’t help noticing his initial panic. It was very brief so perhaps she saw wrong however it made sense to her. The Slytherin had his secrets and her statement could have rubbed him the wrong way. Nevertheless, she pretended not to notice. She promised him last year that his secrets were his to keep and she wouldn’t question his feelings unless he decided to share them himself. After all, she wouldn’t like that either.

The song was over all too soon. Eun-ji didn’t want to let go. Why didn’t she want to let go? Anytime she danced with someone, she’d do so as soon as the music ended but of course…Flash was not just someone. She already accepted said fact. Surprisingly in the end, it was her partner, not her, who eventually let go. He probably did it for her own benefit and in any case, it was not as if they could stand there the whole night. Would he even want to? What a ridiculous notion. Pull yourself together, the girl reprimanded herself quickly. Still, Eun-ji was glad to see the boy didn’t let go entirely. When the time came to move to their next destination, he was still holding her hand. It was utterly bizarre how happy she was about it. Physical affection was not often part of her life and she struggled to change that even with her friends. Most kids liked to hug their friends hello or goodbye. Eun-ji didn’t. Well…no. That was not exactly right. She didn’t mind when they did it, she just didn’t quite know what to do with herself and often came across as awkward. Yeah, she had to work on that one some more. “Well, lead the way then,” she smiled at her date once again before the boy proceeded to do just that. Hopefully, the ZOO wouldn’t be too overwhelming of an attraction.

The kind of look that would’ve looked simple if not for him being hot as hell. ( Lovely Creature Ability ). It’s a mere long thick jacket in dark red colours, matched with a shirt with a pair of black pants. Nothing else has been made to add to his appearance, except for the gloves that cover his frosty hands. In addition to that, a black scarf is hung on his shoulders and wrapped around his neck. Looks like someone is easily cold.

Now Kneazleless, he felt a different sort of cold creeping up to him. Was it the wrong choice to come back to this far more crowded ball? He had left the petting zoo thinking a cramped pumpkin ride was too much for him to handle. But coming back to the ball, it seemed far more crowded than when he had first arrived. Alas, going back now would only embarrass himself further. As tempting as it was to play with the kneazles more, he shouldn’t rely on them to make him more at ease. What else could he rely on if not kneazles?

Well uh.. He’ll.. Figure that out.

For now he stood around the Juniper Tree. While an array of food was served, Sara didn’t took a glance at them. Perhaps it was the pumpkin spice latte he had earlier. Regardless, he was not hungry. He was determined to stick to the safety of this tree until he’d gather up enough courage. He had to ready himself if he wanted to um..strike up a conversation with a stranger again. The last time he had done that, someone misunderstood him for wanting to fight them. He had to think of the perfect conversation starter. And what better place to spark creativity if not under a Juniper Tree.

But with all that focused thinking, Sara’s face had turned into the angry emoji.



As he always does. Which truthfully made him look more like the Juniper Tree’s bodyguard, than a thinker borrowing the vibes of the Juniper Tree for a good idea. The right conversation starter (and the courage to do so) will come up soon enough, he just knows it!

Nick loosened up a bit after Amelia said nothing was wrong, That was good. He didn't want his friend to be distressed. He did get really confused when she expressed worry about what the apple would do to her. They were just apples right? "Are you sure your ok?"

She told him not to eat the apple, but her warning was a tad too late. He had taken quite a few bites already. It looked like her worries just drifted away. Up to the sky if you may. Nick could feel something. "Woah- What the?" He felt like everyone was growing around him. Like he was a toddler again. His costume fit loosely on his shoulders. "Ummm Amelia?" He looked up at her, She was now definitely taller then him. "I dont think I should have eaten that apple" He let out a laugh. He was tiny!

This was way to cool. He wasn't worried, this was amazing!! All that magic could do. "I feel so short!! This is soooo cool! dont you think?" He told her with a wide smile on his face. "I hope no one steps on me. I might be the smallest here" He looked around at the giants in the forest of legs. yep. definitely short.

Mikael stood amidst the ball unsure how to proceed. The collar pulled tightly at his throat choking him slightly with each inhale of cold air. Freezing air burned a way through his nasal cavity. As if pushing forth in search of warmth inside him. Mikael vaguely wondered if it would find anything in there. These days he felt just as cold on the inside as it was on the outside. As if there was nothing in there to warm the cold recesses of his mind. Mikael squinted slightly as he looked about the courtyard. To move forward seemed so difficult, would he lose himself amongst the crowd if he dare venture too far away from the punch bowl? The boy swallowed thickly stepping backward as he did so. So many eyes, why had they made him come at all? Annoyance pulled at his lips as he took another step backward in an attempt to distance himself from anyone nearby. It was a simple act and how much did it worry him the eyes would snap toward him. Even though that was not the case. It seemed simple to turn and leave. The eyes were busy, a chance for escape, a chance for respite. The thought felt like soft honey on his lips, and he wished eagerly to lick it all up. Mikael blinked once staring at the faraway forms of Valentin and Yefim before turning and leaving. He was so tired in more ways than one, draining him slowly and surely of any energy left. Mikael walked away and he couldn't tell where he was going. Just the mere knowledge that it would be away from the eyes was comfort enough. As he walked away he wondered if that was why his Mother went on her walks. Maybe the eyes bothered her too.

"What---!?"

Colin turned towards Gem, then looked over at Clair and Lily. His eyes were wide with surprise and dismay! He hadn't even listened to Gem when she questioned him about even being allowed to use magic here. To Colin, the obvious answer would have been 'duh! it's a school of magic Gem!' He shrugged his shoulders, looking straight at Clair as if seeking some kind of power there in her eyes of blue.

Colin's stronger fire spell blasted from his wand with a rush of magical energy that gave Colin such a rush! He'd concentrated on the horrid dolly and sent the fire straight at in hopes of incinerating it. But as if it were a real girl --- and a real girl who was a more powerful duellist than even Regnia --- took no notice of his efforts! The nasty thing evaded his spell entirely! Clearly this was some dark artifact, but how to fight it?

Just after his own miss, another girl shot the dolly with a regular fire spell which also missed and then someone's toddler tried to whack it as well, and for all he seemed to be well matched for height with the strange looking toy, he wasn't able hit it.
Lily was in bad shape!

"Wh---!? Nothing we've tried is working!" Colin said crossly. This mad dolly was really starting to tick him off. Not only was it messing with family, but it seemed to be evade ordinary attacks both magical and mundane. Colin let out a breath as as expression of determination settled on his face. He wasn't going to let this cursed magical dolly devour his cousin no matter how insanely troublesome she could be!

Hmf. Well, if dolly dances a quick jig against all of us, then there's only thing to do now. Colin ignored the blood gushing from Lily's body and focused in stead on the horrific thing. It almost looked like someone was trying to transfigure it --- but what could it be? He only knew one useful spell that might do it. It was a toss-up between two most likely losing propositions: he really wanted to immobilise the thing and then maybe someone else could blast it; but its continuing attacks on Lily only weakened her all the more! That would take to long, Colin decided. No. Need something fast!

There was only one thing for it! Colin aimed his wand at the monstrous red haired doll --- it really did seem to be trying to become an actual girl! --- and with a deft movement something like a mountain peak he shouted "Finite incantatem!"
