As Brookline gazed at the mistletoe, she perceived a male voice and a soft tapping upon her shoulder that felt cold on her bare skin. “Oh! Hi! Sorry about that.” The Ravenclaw quickly spun to the direction of the dark haired boy’s voice, causing her peach-colored dress to swish and ruffle, as she turned her dark blue gaze on the boy, Aston.

As Aston chuckled, a small soft laugh escaped her lips, and Brookline replied, “I’m Brookline! And yes, I’m a Ravenclaw as well.” She ended her sentence, realizing she still needed to answer the boy’s question.

“And well, I could say I’m just surprised. Although my older sister would beat me up, if I had my first kiss this early,” Brookline laughed shortly, her eyes dancing in sheer amusement.

Brookline listened to Aston, finally realizing what he meant. Oh, you’re joking, stupid, stupid me, Mentally slapping herself, Brookline watched as Aston’s right hand was held out in the middle of the Ravenclaws. Maybe, that is better than the full.

“Um.. Okay...” The girl cautiously held out her hand, her fingers almost shivering. Unless you counted Peter, her best friend, or her brothers she’d almost never had real physical contact with a boy before. So she was kinda scared. Awaiting Aston’s next reply, Brookline gazed around, trying to pass the time.

Aston laughed a little at Brookline's comment about her sister, having always had a rather small family and not having any siblings he doesn't know what it's like to have a sister that will "beat him up" if he does something wrong, Must be pretty fun though, always having someone there with you. Upon hearing Brookline's hesitant agree about his idea of kissing her hand Aston lifted her hand and gave it a light kiss. After the "kiss" under the mistletoe ended Aston thought to ask Brookline how she decided to come to this ball, She's probably here more for the dancing then the kissing it seems., thus he asked "So why did you sign up for the ball? I did so under the impression that it was just a normal ball and that one of my friends who actually knows how to dance will be able to teach me. But clearly that isn't the case." Aston pointed to the mistletoe with a slight smile when he said the last sentence. The mention of the mistletoe got Aston wondering, how many pairs of people were under the mistletoe anyway? A quick look around gave him the answer, four whole pairs of people! I guess this round the dance floor really wanted to speed the process up a bit? Still though, I swear this was more then last round.

An Encounter with @Ehsilat Wilst
Speech: Bold #257379
Thoughts: Bold Italics

Well. That was a quiet meeting. The Ilvermorny boy standing in front of Casey seemed to be even quieter than Casey himself was. To each their own, Casey supposed, but with the dance picking up again, both boys were inevitably drawn back to the rest of the group where excitement and

Maintaining his smooth movements once again, it wouldn't be long before he would be subconsciously paired off with another member of his dance group. Another girl this time. God forbid he gets the mistletoe again. Not that everybody around him seemed that bothered about getting a peck from their partner anyway. Still, he always had the itch to prepare for the worst, if not have some kind of awareness for any and every situation.

The music stops and to his relief, he isn't under the mistletoe with his partner. However, the candle above them was dripping hot wax onto whatever was below it. Before some could land on his partner he caught a drop on his sleeve. At times like this, it was a good thing Casey was a string bean of a boy.

"Careful. Better keep your head down unless you want to get waxed," he said half humorously.

MODERATION POST

Mods are short but sweet this week. Sorry!

Kenzie Thatcher successfully casts the Snowflake-Creating Spell. No further moderated actions.

The music starts back up again, and the spell whisks everyone away to find a new partner... and by the time the violins fade out once more, each skilled dancer is paired with someone very new, in a situation that is either also new or vaguely familiar...

THE DANCE FLOOR HAS SPOKEN:
@Aston Beckett and Casey Stone (@Emily Shephard) end up under a candle.
@Brookline Quinn and Alice Dale (@Minnie Duke) end up under a candle.
Basil Murphy (@Quinn Brook) and @Costanza Jewelweed end up under a candle... that is dripping wax on them!
@Ehsilat Wilst and Jamie Carville (@Mylo Atkins) end up under the mistletoe!
@Minnie Duke and @Kenzie Thatcher end up under the mistletoe!

For any questions or concerns, please owl the moderator of this event, @Aly Salinger.

Also and very importantly, please make sure your action is clearly visible and separated from the rest of your post. Preferably put it in a quote at the bottom but as long as it's separate that's fine. I would also appreciate an inclusion of any stats and abilities you may have in your posts. Makes it much easier to mod!

French English Thoughts

Another song, another dance. Jamie was enjoying the dancing parts, feeling the music and knowing what way to move to make herself look elegant. Some people looked like they had never stepped foot on a dance floor while others had the aura of knowing how to dance without the spell, and she loved differentiating between the two. Although the spell that had been put on her made it so that she didn't have to focus on the moves she still liked to go over the moves in her mind and make sure she was doing everything correctly. It did mean that she could keep an eye out on the other dancers.

Which meant that she had been vigilant on who she'd be stopping with for the next song, and as she predicted she stopped with another girl, someone she didn't recognise but had seen dancing around.

What Jamie also saw was that they had ended up under the mistletoe, wanting to leave the choice with the other girl Jamie flashed her a smile, one she new always got her what she wanted and made people think well of her. Looking up to the mistletoe and back at the girl she says in a French accent,

"Well, I think introductions are a good start. I'm Jamie."

Aston was glad that the mistletoe he ended up under didn't result in an awkward situation, the song resumed and he began dancing again switching partners. He was thinking about things as he danced, namely that snowflake creating spell he was Kenzie cast. Ah it was very pretty, I wonder if me and her will ever be partners up between songs... As the song ended Aston found himself under a candle, good, it would've been weird to get another mistletoe so soon.

Aston looked over at his new partner, it's a boy this time. Probably the first time he got paired with a boy this whole dance. Maybe he's from another school? Aston certainly doesn't recognise him. He's quite good looking, maybe a Beauxbatons student? I don't know. "Hello!" Aston greeted the boy with a smile, the dance has been a great chance to talk to new people and he wants to seem friendly. "I'm Aston, a Ravenclaw from Hogwarts, you? Hope you've been having fun at the ball."

A bit later, in the middle of their conversation Aston suddenly heard the sound of a Flipendo being cast. He quickly turned his head around with a "What the fuck?"Why the hell will anyone cast a Flipendo here?? And he soon realised that the victim in this scenario was none other then one of his best friends Kenzie. Aston was quickly angered and started to rush over there with a "So sorry" for the boy he was talking to. As he was walking over he moved his arm a bit and remembered how constraining this jacket was. Aston took it off, turned over to Casey, "Sorry again but can you hold on to this for me real quick?" and threw his jacket over to Casey, hoping he would catch it.

I'm gonna punch her. That was his thoughts at that point, nothing else. Aston wants to defend his friend, it was definitely too late to stop the spell, whether it worked or not. But he is going to get some kind of retribution for this. Why will anyone even choose to do this! what the fuck!? The walk over the dance flood felt so short and so long. Short enough to not give him time to second guess his actions, long enough for all these thoughts to rush through his head.

Aston grabbed Minnie by the collar, it was the oddly quiet partner he was with before, well no matter. He gave her a quick jab in the stomach, Minnie's freaked out expression stopped Aston from throwing any more punches. "Why the hell will you do that?!" Aston yelled at her, hoping to get his point across. God I feel like I look so pissed off right now, this is a horrible first impression. Aston turned to Kenzie, "What happened Kenzie? Are you okay?" Ugh I can feel everyone's eyes on me, this is horrible.

Deterred Dancing and Lessons in Anger Management with @Aston Beckett
Speech: Bold #257379
Thoughts: Bold Italics

Another quiet encounter. He knew he himself had become the quiet lad over the last year but were dances like this usually kept in silence? It made the whole experience go by a lot quicker. Well, anything to keep the event in motion he figured. Casey "quietly" departed from his partner and the group came together for another round of music. With the last couple partners engaging with him in no more than small talk - if that - Casey continued to mind his own business as he danced. When the music ceased, dictating another fated pairing under another grateful candle, Casey was jolted awake by the sound of the boy standing in front of him.

"Hello! I'm Aston, a Ravenclaw from Hogwarts, you? Hope you've been having fun at the ball."

"U-Uh... Casey. Ilvermorny Thunderbird... Been fun I guess..." He had to admit it was a nice change of pace from wandering around the campsite like an angsty cloud. He was being generous to give himself props for turning up in the first place, let alone the socialising he's been doing which tallied up more than the rest of the year so far. As far as Casey was willing to call it, it was a win in his books.

In the midst of their chat Casey could hear the signs of a scuffle nearby catch his ears. Turning around he saw someone get knocked to the floor, the sight of which set off his partner. But not before tossing his jacket into Casey's arms.

"Sorry again but can you hold on to this for me real quick?"

"I-" Aston had already taken off towards the inciting incident before Casey could react. Looking at the jacket and then back to where he was headed, Casey couldn't help but be curious.

To hell with it...

Casey followed suit. Whether he was welcome or not was no bother to him but rather the kind of weird plot that suddenly befell the dancers. He gasped when Aston started swinging fists about, even grabbing a girl by her collar. He approached them and attempted to separate them, a hand on both their shoulders as he shoved the Ravenclaw lad away.

"Oi! Pretty sure there's a more subtle and civil way to solve this malarkey...!"

"Oi! Pretty sure there's a more subtle and civil way to solve this malarkey...!" The sudden movement and words helped Aston calm down a bit. "Yeah I'm sorry." The apology was more so aimed at Casey then Minnie, since Aston's brain is still yelling She started it! She started it! Aston does know why the spell pissed him off so much. "It's just that what she did ain't right. You don't sign up for a mistletoe spin and-" He stopped and breathed from his mouth, another effort to calm down, then pointed at the mistletoe, "and get mad for landing under the mistletoe. You don't hurt people over that, and you know I can't just stand by and watch my friend, people I care about get hurt! Especially not for a reason as stupid as this. It, it isn't right."

Aston tried to tidy himself up a little, straightening his now messed up shirt, also using it to distract himself a bit. At this point the guilt began to set in, and it was a horrible feeling. I hope Kenzie won't get mad at me over this, at least she seems to be okay."I am really sorry Casey, I wasn't trying to start a fight. It just happened I guess, I wanted to get back at her. This is a horrible first impression I know, is there anything I can do to make up for this? It's a dance after all, we're supposed to be having fun and I feel like I ruined it for you."
