Faerietale Endings Fall Ball 2022 Locked

@Bloom Silverton | @Serena Towers

Howard would take long, drawn out blinks as his close friend and lover continued their argument. He wouldn’t voice it out loud as even the boy with a wisdom score of 1 knew better than to side against his girl, but he hoped Bloom would heed some of Serena’s words. The idea of this being some kind of competition wasn’t what he wanted. Howard wasn’t just some prize, he had love for Serena, not the way he loved Bloom, but the feeling was still strong. And he barely had the words to describe how he felt towards the Ravenclaw. This wasn’t some kind of conquest, it was just…life. Some become friends, some become lovers. He had room in his heart for them both, just in different ways.

However, as Bloom squeezed into him closer he knew better than to voice this. Hopefully time would see them through it and Howard was still floating way too high to dig that deep. Speaking of deep, the conversation would soon turn to death. Something that had almost touched many a Hogwartians over the years as they were plagued by a darkness that had threatened to destroy them all. Thankfully that seemed to be behind them now, but Serena wasn’t wrong. She had indeed risked life and limb for those she cared for, something he respected her deeply for, but was tonight the night they had to dig into that. Howard was floating on cloud nine, love was in the air as he held onto the girl of his dreams, not to mention that for once seemed to be having a ball without too much disaster. Tonight was for fun, live and let live man!! “C’mon…” Howard said with a glazed expression. “We’ve all been through some shit, let’s not argue about that.”

Yet Serena’s next words would quickly have Howard doing just that as he stuck up for Bloom and the mention of Falentra was not something he was in the mood for. "No way!" He objected to the idea that Fal had more respect. "I dunno what's going on between you two, but do you not remember that Falentra punched you!" Again Howard would look like the town drunk as he looked to Serena with one eye closed. "For just being my damn friend! This cant be like that." Serena would claim happiness for Howard, but still these two would refuse to men their friendship. Perhaps this was just the way thing were going to be. Maybe these two special relationships just had to be kept separate. The idea of this would weigh on Howard later, but his mind still struggled to grasp the heaviness of this truth. "This is dumb..." He mumbled in concert with Serena as she too claimed bullshit.

"See?" Howard pointed towards Bloom with a dumb, "told ya!" look on his face as Bloom suggested it would be better to forgive and forget. He was the dumb one now to think things could be that simple, but his state of mind made it all seem so easy. Maybe it was time for them to just all go their own way for the rest of the night. Howard could think of many other things he'd rather be doing as his eyes swayed back towards Bloom and what a great idea she had when suggesting another apple. However, just as his long fingers grasped the fruit, Serena would launch on to save him from another poisoning.

If Serena misses!

"Ha!" Howard would hold the apple high overhead and out of reach from his little friend. With a huge bite he would crush half the apple and it wouldn't take but a moment for the effects to kick in. "Woah!" He began to wobble in place as the world began to spin. HIs long legs would stumble this way and then that before he completely lost his balance. With a bang and a mighty crash the Dhampir would fall directly backwards into one of the food tables. While it sounded dramatic the boy would be left giggling as he was covered in various eats and drink. HIs aim would be surely be off, but the nearest pie would be launched in a random direction. Food fight!

If Serena succeeds!

"Hey!" Howard would protest the theft of his delicious treat, but as he swung his body around to recover the fruit his long legs would get twisted in themselves. The effects of too many potions coursing through his veins took their toll and the might Hufflepuff would fall.

One way or another, this boy is going down and the pie is going to fly!

Action: Falls down, throws a pie in a random direction.

Finishing the apple, Bloom felt more than relaxed again. She just felt like she was on cloud nine with her emotions. She just wanted to lay down on the couch and watch a romantic comedy in the arms of her Damphir. Being in his arms was cozy and made her feel secure.

What made her feel even more secure was how much he was standing up for her. This whole time, he was on her side and didn't even budge. He had so much loyalty to Bloom, just as much as she would have for him. They were true partners. Her trust in him grew just as much as her love for him blossomed.

Bloom tried to reach for his hand, but at that moment, he had begun to fall. Bloom moved out of the way as to not get smashed by his strong body. When he fell, he hit the table which had made a pie fly over them and towards a group of people. Bloom watched the pie and winced when the crashing sound was made, not seeing who it was who probably got hit. Howard was not on the floor, looking silly.

Bloom smiled and laughed and pulled Howard up from the floor as best as she could. As he slowly got up, Bloom whispered in his ear the location they were going to. It was nearby, but secluded from all that was going on around them. This was the moment for them to be together. If Bloom wasn't stuck on a calming potion (unbeknownst to her), then her heart would be racing.

Before leaving with Howard, she looked at Serena. She wanted to tell the half-dwarf to piss off, but instead she felt the silence of not saying anything when leaving was the best attempt at doing that with no words at all. Bloom wrapped her arms around Howard, making sure he was walking forward, and the couple walked out of the fall ball and towards the lake for a romantic getaway.

RPing as iNPC Milo Durand Date: 8/10/22 Outfit:Here

-------------------------------------------------------------------

For a little while, Milo was actually staring into space a bit, partly because his english translation skills were beginning to fail him, and partly because two of Serenas friends had just come over and he was trying to figure out what the conversation was.

He had caught something about Milo being Serenas date? Although Serena very quickly shut that down. Something didn't seem quite right with this group. Perhaps they had tried some of the peculiar food that seemingly caused Serena to act differently.

Deciding to finally introduce himself, he said, "I am Milo Durand, it is lovely to meet you both." Hoping he didn't need to specify the school he was from considering his strong french accent. It was then that Serena started almost exploding, she was doing that thing he had seen from her a couple times before, where she would talk and talk and Milo struggled to keep up, but no matter what she was saying, she could tell she was pissed. Royally pissed.

She wasn't the only one either, the two young women engaged in what seemed like a word war and Milo couldn't keep up with any of it, if anybody looked at him at that moment they would see the cogs whirring in his head, forgetting he was actually an intelligent young man, he looked like a proper dunce at that moment, gawking at what was unfolding.

It wasn't long though until the two left, and Milos brain got a second to catch up.

"I am so sorry, I wanted to help but.. Honestly I do not know what you two were arguing about." He said to Serena, bowing his head slightly with a smile. "I am sure she was talking nonsense though." Milo attempted to reassure. He was only a minute from taking Serena away from those two if they hadn't have removed themselves.

AngelFyre's Arresto Momentum missed, but she quickly noted, so did most everyone's, with two exceptions. Clair managed to cast a Ferula on the girl, the cousin, the real real girl who was getting weak from the tremendous loss of blood. Thing to note was that Clair's spell was cast on the victim, not on the assailant. Simon had in fact followed AngelFyre over, as she knew he would, but thankfully, he did not seem to be having a negative reaction to the blood. Unlike Clair, he had not cast a Ferula, or if he had, nothing had come of it, but when she had a millisecond to look over at him, he seemed to be mightily distracted by the upperclassman who had cast the body bind spell. Unfortunately, that spell had failed as well. She knew Simon could not help it, but gosh they could sure use his clear-headed thinking in these moments.

Colin was the only other person to land a spell and that was particularly interesting. It was not the Incendio Duo that hit, but it was his Finite Incantatem, and AngelFyre watched in wonder as THAT was the only spell that really seemed to affect, or to even land, on the nightmare of a doll, but again, that spell was acting upon on magic.... not the doll.

She turned to Colin, knowing he must be desperate to help his cousin. If they failed and she died, AngelFyre worried it would be a bridge too far for his poor heart and psyche right now. She had earlier called into the crowd for help from the older students, and that cry had been answered, but still to no effect. She did take to heart the more experienced girl's warning that touching the doll would be a very bad idea, so AngelFyre's mind was clicking through alternative ideas here. Looking over to Colin who was wearing an expression of frustration, worry, dogged determination, and exasperation, she put her hand on his forearm as a silent restraint. Her blue eyes pleading with his green ones to not engage the doll physically as she had earlier suggested. It was probably wise to listen to the older voices of experience.

They had to do something, though, and fast, or her best friend's cousin was going to bleed out in front of them, Ferulas or no Ferulas. And she knew Colin would not restrain himself much longer, if at all.

Then a thought repeated in her mind as a sort of clarion call...listen to the older voices of experience If this was not an emergency, she did not know what was, so she simply pointed her wand straight up and intoned, "Periculum!" This is way above our pay grade, Woofy, and she is running out of time. It is now time to call in the cavalry.... we need the adults and their years of experience and power. That little beast is only getting stronger, and I think it is the blood that is doing it. We do not need you next on its menu."

Not Tonight Love, I Have a Headache

IX

Colin really felt angry and frustrated by the doll that was attacking Lily. Nothing was working on it! Fire spells missed. Knockback jinx missed. Arresto momentum missed. Physical attack missed --- but to be fair, that was some toddler, barely bigger than the doll herself! The only thing that had really worked was Clair's wonderful bandaging charm. God, how he loved that girl! She was just so awesome! But still, the attack continued!

Colin clenched his fists and his teeth. He took off his heavy cloak. The beginnings of a plan forming. He looked around the circle that seemed to have formed around Lily and the red haired dolly. Some seemed to be watching, others helping. He saw Clair across from him and Gem nearby. AngelFyre somehow stepped up next to him. Her hand was on his arm. She seemed to be saying to him not to attack the doll --- but what else was there to do? His green eyes looked from AngelFyre's blue eyes to Clair's and back again. There was nothing left to do but attack!

AngelFyre cast periculum which would summon help.

Eventually.

The voice of an older student rang through his mind, saying not to touch the doll. His breathing had been fast, but he calmed himself by shaking his head like a dog. The beast had to be destroyed; but Colin felt he wasn't to be the killer. No, he would be the hunting hound --- let the jaegermeister deal the killing blow!

Colin faced AngelFyre. His whole body nearly vibrated with tensed energy and his eyes pierced whatever they looked at. His voice came low and threatening --- almost a growl. "I am not going to let Lily die! I already lost ---" Almost Colin broke, but he held firm. "I must fight the darkness. You know that," he said, almost whispering to AngelFyre. He gently removed his arm from her grasp. "I am not going to lose my cousin. Not while I can fight it."

The dark magic that was eating away at Lily, Colin had no idea who created it or how or why. But, evil --- that was a darkness he had faced before, and he knew he must face it now. Something evil was in this doll, even though it seemed to cry like a child. Colin thought that was weird. It was one of those little facts that lodged in Colin's brain waiting for the right time to remind him of its existence.

Turning away from AngelFyre, Colin looked for those who might best help him in his plan. "CLAIR!" He cried out "GEM! Try to lift Lily up! Get her away from the doll!" He hoped they'd be able to cast the levitation charm to keep Lily away from the doll! He looked around and saw Simon, AngelFyre's boyfriend. "SIMON!" He held some kind of cloak or skirt or something in his hands! He spread out his own arms with his cloak between them! "Simon! Help me capture the doll once they get Lily out of the way! Wrap your hands in the cloth!"

He didn't know who the older student was that had said not to touch the doll, but Colin wrapped his hands up in the cloak as he prepared to leap!

Moderated Action: Having forged a cunning and brilliant Plan, Colin will wait for Clair and Gem to get Lily out of the way, and then with Simon's help, will cast his cloak over the poor dolly and wrap her up in it so she's nice and snug! Hopefully a professor will show up soon! @Piérre Marchonné | @Aurelia Notresvace

It seemed that the chatterbox potion had affected one too many, but it was one of the less adverse apples in the bucket... after all, this was a party and what was a party without the bustling of conversations? Some had lucky of a fast metabolism or perhaps they took a smaller bite, within a few minutes, their effects had worn off including nonsensical blabbering and pumpkin heads, but some just weren't that lucky. But do not fret. For those in a struggle, almost from thin air, a figure would appear, an Einstein mess of green hair and a mask of pale white paint in a striped suit. A hand slipping into his pocket, he would pull out a vial that he would extend towards. But if an attempt was made to grab, he would the vail from grasp. "Nuh-uh. A trick for a treat. A payment for this is due..." He would cackle in an accent wallowing with distinct Italian. However that might be perceived once satisfied, Beetlejuice would give the antidote without a fight.

Someone had to stop @Bloom Silverton and @Howard White. Was it even safe at this point? Nevertheless, they both would take another serve of apples. While the effect wasn't immediate, Bloom's apple was identical to Howard's first apple, the blugeye potion. It was only a matter of time before her eyes swelled uncomfortably. This couldn't go well for the two of them as Howard's mere contact with the apple spiked with befuddlement draught would be enough for the effects to set. Concerned for a friend, @Serena Towers would lunge, smacking the apple away. However, a mistake, as the mere contact of fruit on the skin would set the potion into action.

It seemed like Amelia @Lily Blaze hadn't grown suspicious when her date Nick Iris became a dwarf. She would get another apple anyways. But the first bite of the apple would make her incredibly drowsy, fatigue suddenly washing over her.

An angry @Alec Mason would throw a goblet at @Pea Elena Fowl wether intentional or not in did not matter. At the movement, the goblet would revert back to its original form: An animal that just so happened to be an owl. Suddenly in mid-air flung towards the pretty veela, the owl would strike, claws catching the fair maiden's skin and drawing blood. Alec, you jerk!

Della's spell missed the doll. It seemed whatever gruesome power that was animating the doll was almost immune to spellcasting—the doll was dodging everything thrown at it and even distorting everyone's concentration as they tried to cast at it. It hugged its target close, preparing for another devious bite.

It was starting to feel like they were all powerless against the doll. Then Della felt Astrid's hand give her a squeeze as the Durmstrang girl shouted at the doll. Della knew that shouting wouldn't be enough, but the act uplifted her in a way and allowed her to focus back on how to help.

A Slytherin boy, Della recognized him as Colin from the broom racing team, hatched a plan. He and Simon would attempt to ensnare the doll in a cloak. Really it was smart—sometimes wands were powerless and brute force might do the trick. AngelFyre put her wand in the air, going for the red sparks charm. A call for help. Even smarter—hopefully adults would come to their aid or at least any of the other students who hadn't noticed what was going on. Della joined her, raising her own wand in the air, keeping her other hand with Astrid's.

Somehow, deep down, after that first interaction at the beginning of the ball, she knew that eventually, everything would fall apart. But she didn't know that the person who would initiate it would be Alec instead of her. How- curious? How is she the one that is wrong? Has she been selfish? yes, egotistical? yes, But Alec knew all of it, from the beginning, so why is he complaining about it now? Half confusion and anger surrounded her head. Because although she hated him right now for saying all these things, somehow there is something that have been holding her back from slapping his pretty face.

But the fact that he kept on and on about how SHE is overreacting when the factual reality is he made a mistake, is something she would not overlook. "I am doing it.. again?" The tone of her voice is on the verge of explosive anger that she did not know how to control, where the only thing she could do is just copy bits of Alec's word that is thrown at her. "I. am. overreacting?" another eerie voice she utters after Alec's complaint about her previous demeanor. At this point, her mind just went completely blank, as if another creature took a hold of her, an angry creature with a sharp beak and claws.

“You're selfish and- and you're egotistical and it's a terrible look on you. I'm not against a person looking out for themselves. I'm the last person who would ever call anybody out for it- if you ever just took a minute to listen you would-”

"LISTEN TO WHAT ALEC? OF YOU WHINING? Boohoo you are such a baby, you know that?"

At those words all the pity she has left for the boy gone from her mind. A crude but painful smile appears on her face. If he wanted to play this game, then she can too, this is the end of her playing nice with Alec. "Oh ho look at you, Alec, the nice, perfect Gryffindor boy, who can do no wrong, compared to the selfish and egotistical Slytherin girl, he is too good for her! HA, what a joke!" Pea spat at Alec, anger filling her head. "I can't believe I wasted so much time on you! You know what Alec? you are just as bad as me but you would never admit it! But unlike you, I am not a coward. SO YES, I am selfish and egotistical, but at least I'm not a weak, cowardly, and a liar, who only acted like a goodie two-shoe in front of everyone else!" Blood boils in her skin as her pale face starts to turn red.

It was then that Alec grabs refreshments, probably overwhelmed by the whole situation they were in. But at her scream, the crowd already started to glance and murmur around her. She did not give a single care in the world about them, for all she knows now is anger, and.. pain. Because she knows exactly how this end and it is not gonna be pretty. But suddenly, liquids came directly on her dress, liquid that came from Alec's cup was splattered all over her marvelous dress. Not only that! the goblet actually turn into a weird shape, and slowly a bird- nay- an owl flew quickly at her which manage to give scratch her pretty face. Blood appears on her white skin, and drips into her dress. Flabbergasted and furious by the whole ordeal, she quickly draws her wand and points it at her 'date'.

"INCENDIO!" The girl cried the fire spell at Alec, with tears verging in her eyes, and blood running down her cheeks.
