CL Holi 2022 Open

Running around throwing powder, Bailey was having the most fun she had had in a while.
Bailey was decently covered with powder, but she was sure she would be covered head to toe by the end of the day. And she was not mad about it! To be honest, she was excited.
When Hiro came up to her, Bailey was sure he was going to cover her in powder. Not caring, when he tapped her on the shoulder she turned and said “Yes?”
He responded saying they should team up, and go after people from both sides so they couldn’t escape. Agreeing, Bailey said “Yes! That sounds like a plan. Do you have any powder I can use? I threw my last bit at you and Luca… if not I’ll go get some more and I can go from there? Does that work? I do think Luca would be a good target… then maybe we can go after the person who was throwing the black powder. Do you know who that is, by the way? I have no idea… which is weird. I know most people…”
Deciding to stop rambling, Bailey looked at Hiro for an answer.

Word count: 210 ish

As Hiro grinned at her after they teamed up, Bailey grinned back. It felt good having a partner in crime, even if they had just met.
When she asked if he had any spare powder packets, Hiro handed her a few, and they were yellow and a dark purple. They left a little color on her hand and she added handprints to her dress- memories.
As Hiro dashed off on the left of Luca, Bailey went on the right- they would corner Luca and cover him with powder!
As she snuck up behind Luca, Bailey pulled out the powder packets Hiro had given her.
Nodding at Hiro, Bailey threw one packet at Luca and ran to the right. If Luca turned to the right, he would see Bailey- if he turned to the left, he would see Luca. Hoping that Luca would have some powder in order to retaliate, Bailey tossed her last packet and ran to get more. She picked out a brown and a green, and stuffed an orange and a red into her dress’ pocket for later. Going back to Luca and Hiro, Bailey took a handful of powder and tossed it in the air above Luca. This was so he and Hiro would both end up dusted in orange powder, if they did not run out of the cloud soon

Louca grinned at Bailey’s comment, having so much fun and the powder seemed to be thick in the air, coating everyone and anyone in the vicinity. Louca threw the powder that remained in his right hand at a random target, hoping to have covered them, but continuing to run, dodging left and right, knowing a moving target was harder to hit. Though with the powder it didn’t really seem to matter. It created a cloud that if one didn’t avoid, it would coat you.

He heard Bailey’s name called by someone, but couldn’t tell who and honestly was having too much fun. He reached into the pockets of his jeans, pulling one of the bags out, and tossing it gently between his hands, stopping for a moment to contemplate what he would do with it. Louca looked down at himself, and smiled happily, his torso and pants an interesting mix of colors. He could imagine what his face and hair looked for, sure that he would be wearing the marks of the powder for days to come and not even caring. He was enjoying himself too much and could not wait.

Looking around, he saw that Bailey was having a meeting with someone, but decided they would be too easy a target. He moved towards a random person, sneaking dramatically like a villain on his tiptoes, getting close enough that there was no way he could miss before tossing the powder up and forward, hoping it broke on their head, coating them quite efficiently.

Walking away quickly, Louca stuck his hands in his pockets, trying to grasp the remaining packets he had stored there. Stopping he dug at the pockets, annoyed that he couldn’t quite grasp them. Louca was shocked when he felt a packet hit him, looking down as the powder swirled around him. Regretting that immediately, he closed his eyes for a moment, turning to the right, and squinting one eye open. “Bailey, I will get you!” Louca waited a few more moments for the powder to disperse, but that was a regret as a handful of powder was tossed over his hair. Blowing out, he stepped out of the cloud, not quickly enough to avoid getting coated but at least fast enough he could still see. Wiping his face briefly, he threw a packet in Bailey’s general direction, watching to see if the green would land.

He was surprisingly saddened by her ease in wanting to forget it. That twang in his chest that he had yet to really put a name to. He wanted to spend more time with her, that he was sure of. It was just annoying that he was from Beauxbatons and her from Hogwarts. If only things were different, if only things were easier.

Eyes widening, Milo burst into laughter as a blast of pink powder landed straight on his chest, immediately colouring the white shirt he had on. As she went to turn away and made the comment about how she could run away again, he instinctively went to grab her free hand, the one without the pile of powdered paint.

"Please, no." Milo pleaded, a smile on his face as he laughed, trying to make light of the situation the best he can without outwardly showing that he was genuinely worried she may do that again.

Feeling a puff of powder on his side, he turned to see that, to match the pink flash on his chest, he had a black one on his hip, coming from somebody who seemed to just be throwing paint at whoever was within throwing distance. "Was this.." He gestured to the tubs of paint vaguely, "Your idea?" He did know of Holi, but he didn't really know much about Serena's heritage and wondered if this festival was a part of that specifically. He did always find things like that fascinating. The reality of how people from around the world life that differs to his own. He wanted to travel the world someday, meet the most fascinating people, hear the best stories.

She inhaled sharply as she felt his hand around her own, keeping her in place. For a moment, she hesitated. Unsure of how to take the action, and whether or not she should be awkward about the whole thing. It took every ounce of effort to recall that she was agreeing to just forget about this whole thing and move on. Forget the awkwardness surrounding it. It was just silly. He had proposed an activity and she had simply decided not to do it, that was it. Kind of like if he said 'hey you wanna duel?' and she said 'no'. Right? Yes. Exactly! No big deal. It was nothing awkward and nothing to be embarrassed about.

Luckily, his laugh helped to ease the tension. Right. She tugged on the sleeve of her top a little, simply fidgeting out of habit. Looking over to where he was gesturing, her eyes landed on the powder and she realised what he was talking about. With a small nod, "Oh uh yeah, it's pretty big with my relatives. In India, that is. Since they live there. I haven't really had a chance to celebrate it there though. Since it's uh always in school time, you know? But like it looks really fun so uh, I kinda just uh figured I would try and bring it here this year..." She mumbled in response, wondering if she was supposed to explain the whole festival. He probably did not care that much. He was just being polite.

"You're uh... still, yanno?" She mumbled some more as she gestured to his hand that was holding her, indicating that he could let go whenever he was ready. Because she was totally ready for him to let go. Anytime now would be great. Annyyytime. She swallowed, looking away a little as she continued, to try and move on from that. Grabbing some more powder that she could reach, she threw some more at him as though to say she would keep throwing it at him if he did not let go of her.

He nodded, "Ah India, very beautiful, I want to visit someday." with a smile, he looked over at the tubs of paint powder again, "In France we don't have anything quite as... coloré. colourful Well... maybe the explosions of la Fete Nationale French National Day over the Eiffel tower." He had of course, meant fireworks, rather than literally explosions.

When hearing her mumbling, he looked to where he was gesturing, their hands. He suddenly realised that she maybe wasn't as comfortable with it as he was, in fact he was perfectly happy standing there. Milo paused for a moment before Serena threw the powder, it splatting on his shirt collar and neck in a small cloud, laughing once again before a light cough as he dropped her hand, having inhales a little bit of the powder in his laughter. "Sorry." Grabbing a handful of blue powder himself, he threw it back at her, a playful smirk on his face.

Milo didn't want to make her uncomfortable, which is quite odd considering how he normally wouldn't give a single toss as long as he was doing what he wanted. It was quite stressful actually how she made him feel, he actually cared. The longer he knew her, the more she captivated his thoughts, when he was back home, he kept thinking about her and whether or not he had messed up by offering to have her first kiss. He had meant it genuinely but it wasn't often that he was literally fled from, it certainly stuck out in his mind.

What colors am I missing??? Bailey wondered, glancing at her clothes. Hiro had asked a valid question- she did want to complete the rainbow. She was going to save this dress and maybe find a spell to keep the colors vibrant. Surely there’s a spell to do that?
Assuring herself that there was, and that if she couldn’t find it, she could find someone who did. Ravenclaw was the smartest and most knowledge house, anyways. she smiled, and then remembered that she was looking for the colors she was missing.
“I think I’m missing… I don’t know…”
well I have black, red, pink and yellow, emerald green, blue, and purple..
“It looks like I’m missing orange, and that might be it… though I’m willing to take more of any colors!!”
Smiling, Bailey twirled around laughing while she waited for the others to examine what they were missing. She grabbed a handful of powder out of her pocket and threw it up, closing her eyes and twirling in the rainbow cloud. She was really enjoying herself, something she did not get to do too often. She held herself back most of the time, but not today!!
“I am so happy you guys are here!” Bailey said to Hiro and Luca. “I don’t think anyone else would put up with my craziness!”
