Closed OAP: Old Age Partygoers PV. Sixth & Seventh Years

She felt a little softer and more relaxed once Howard distanced himself from her. And exhaled loudly as if some charm has stopped its work. She was content her own charms made Howard happy, and that's when her dare was complete. She finished her drink in one go, and planned to return to her conversation with Hugh when he shoved them out of the way to pick something from the ground.

The girl would've paid more attention to it, her senses indeed sharpened in the possibility of incoming danger, but the drink she was having, quickly calmed her worries back to fun and enjoyment. It was when she heard Hugh's inquiry direct at a small something that re-sharpened her senses again. Which was really hard, considering she was becoming sort of dizzy every other second, which was totally new, and it was obvious how her mind struggled heavily, trying to repair bricks of her mind bridge that was on its way to crash down.

She tried to focus, and only then she remembered there was a scene a boy dragged away Serena. She saw the boy a few times before, and their subtle resemblance did not add a single penny to her piggy bank of troubles and concerns. So she let it go until just the moment ago, especially when worried Hugh called Howard, and the pretty boy lunged quickly to accompany him.

There might be a fight in the making. Wouldn't Serena call? The mind fog did not let her think straight enough to care. Two big boys couldn't trample any problem together, whether such problem would occur.

Just in case, she stared at them as they were leaving and clicked her fingers (casting Bravery Charm at Howard: WDC 11 + 5 + 5 = 21; [d20: 16] + 20 = 36, Success) and no one except Howard would know if it worked or not.

She returned to her seat, where she initially conversed with Hugh, and effectively left the game (unless requested to continue) to have another drink (which she floated to herself as well). She needed to repair her mind, and she didn't yet know the drinks were the reason her mind was failing.

Action: having a drink, getting dizzier without understanding why, not playing or conversing until someone start a conversation.

He was bad at partying. One would err on the side of thinking that Cyrus Alexander Darsel, Drama King Supreme, would be a Party King… but that was not the case. He had found that he didn’t know very many people at the party, although of course he recognised Slava, but aside from him, he felt very much like a loner.

He found the barrel of pumpkin juice shortly after. He pressed the tap and watched as the liquid trickled into a cup, which he had grabbed, and he decided that things might turn out well after all.

He sat in the corner, only halfheartedly sipping from his cup, watching everything going on around him. For a party, it was a lot more chill than he had thought it would be. Perhaps that was what happened when fewer people were involved in an event, or at least when the event was mostly older kids. They all seemed a bit... mellower. Kinder, perhaps. Calmer.

That was what Cy thought, at least, until he heard the commotion.

He had been able to zone out until he heard the girl. Immediately, he snapped to attention, his hair flouncing around his ears as he attempted to regain his focus. He set his pumpkin juice down on the grass and watched with wide, concerned blue eyes as a kid he didn't know grabbed the girl he assumed had organised this entire event. He leaned closer and watched as they disappeared. Other kids seemed to have noticed, and a few of them ─ including Slava ─ were getting up.

His initial concern was for the girl. But now, although he knew Slava could handle himself, he was a bit worried for his newfound buddy, too.

Cyrus stood and followed the others to whatever altercation he hoped wasn't occurring. He slipped his wand into his hand and held it at the ready while he left.

It seemed that the party was shifting to be elsewhere and Howard showed a lot of interest. It was their last summer together as a couple in school, as well as with all of their peers. Also, who would say no to a game that was going to be with people their age? It sounded quite intriguing.

Bloom watched as Serena and a few others followed her out of the area. Bloom looked at her Damphir and nodded with a small smile. She was not going to be left by herself, nor did she want to hold him back. They were going to go together and see what happens. What game they were playing, Bloom had no idea.

"Sounds good," she agreed, and Bloom slowly got up from sitting down. She fixed her attire and hair and reached for Howard's hand. She would then leave with him and follow in the same direction of Serena and a few others who were heading the same way. She looked back for a quick second to see if she was forgetting anything. Luckily, nothing was left behind, and the both of them could keep walking together.

Taking a deep breath, Bloom walked forward.
