Hogwarts Hosts and Wondrous Tea OPEN Locked

Status: Open
Abilities: Calming Presence and Lovely Creature

Dale tugged on the collar of his shirt, he was a little nervous. It was the first time he was doing this kind of thing, and while the clothing Shen provided was comfortable and fit well, Dale still felt a little... weird in it. He looked over to the rest of the hosts, he was happy when he realized he knew at least a few of them, Lark and Annie, even the girl that slapped him at the ball was there. Dale looked around, Shen really went all out, rose petal floating around, their smell wafting through the air making the whole room smell like a warm summer day, the various potted plants and vases of flowers brought a nice touch to the room, and to top it off the ceiling seemed to have gold and silver trim to it. Dale wasn't much of a tea guy, but even he had to admit the tea they had smelled amazing. He was impressed with the younger boy's work... "His parents must have a lot of money to pull off something like this..." He thought to himself. His mind started to wander, thinking about the various things this day would bring... Dale suddenly snapped out of his own thoughts, looking up and at the door, wondering who would be their first guest...

There she was. She tried to loosen up around all of the other hosts. She knew she wasn’t one of the core meme era which meant she didn’t have to have to make such a good impression on the guests. Wearing her white buttoned down shirt, a knee length blue skirt which was complimented by a yellow large bow on the side indicating she was Hufflepuff. If someone had asked her before she entered Hogwarts if she had would ever take part of a club which included tea parties and socializing, she would have laughed at them and shout “never in my life!”. And now she laughed at herself in her dress and soft smile on her face ready to introduce herself. She was a bit anxious to the fact that she only had know the one that invited her: Shen. Still she didn’t know him well and that threw her off a bit.

The room was beautiful and done over the top. The club leader sure knew how to put on a show! With about a hundred scarlet rose petals, yes essence was all over the place and the beautiful ornaments around the room were making it a quite charming place to be.
She was going to adress her dress again when the door started to open a little. Her heart in her throat she put on a kind smile on her face seeing that all of the other hosts were ready to get on with the club. The first guest finally appeared, what an interesting club this is going to be...

This was definitely a new experience for Willow, something she could've never seen herself in when coming to Hogwarts. It wasn't too far off of something Willow would enjoy doing though. Bringing joy to the students of Hogwarts that may be feeling a little down in the dumps? She'd gladly do that. She also had heard from others that she was a tad bit of a flirt, she didn't know how but apparently she was. It also gave her a chance to dress-up a bit. Something that she enjoyed doing but really hadn't had the opportunity to do since coming here and being forced into the dark robes.

Today she wore a short sleeved white collared shirt, with pastel pink shorts, a pink knitted cardigan, and pink slip-on shoes. She had a sunflower perched over her ear. A symbol of the Hufflepuff house she belonged to with the bright yellow petals. It wasn't hard for her to decide on a signature that would suit the house she belonged to. It blended her love of nature and the house of Badgers quite perfectly in her opinion. She quickly took up her position among the hosts to welcome the students that decided to spend some time with them. With a warmth in her smile and eyes, and the familiarity of the scents of tea and rose around her she was ready for anyone who might enter and request her.

Humiliated was an understatement, hardly a worthy term to describe the dread that consumed Persephone as the Slytherin reluctantly entered the Rehearsal Room, adorned in disgusting decorations that induced nausea upon first glance. The room in itself screamed of privilege and ulterior motives as if it had a voice itself, otherwise delicate music greeting the blonde with frustration and shattered ears. Clubs like this, though to her knowledge it was the first of its kind, were the thieves of her faith in humanity.

In such an overwhelmingly bright setting, the girl had felt the need to appear slightly less dark; Persy had worn a long-sleeve lavender shirt with a black skirt, matching boots completing a simple look. Staring blankly, Persy felt her reputation crumbling at her feet, the attendants that had already arrived bearing witness to such a death. A few familiar faces were present, but the girl believed she’d come before the bulk of the majority crashed in; exactly as desired.

With immense caution, as to not seem too interested, the snake’s gaze fell upon the likely center of the event, an unfamiliar boy that radiated grace. Reconnaissance, Persy coolly reminded herself, approaching him with that same yield. A new facade that could possibly last a beautiful ten minutes washed over her aura, meaningless words tumbling from her lips. “You must be the organizer of all of this, hmm? Perhaps I could call it impressive.”

Mildred was walking through the corridors heading to class when she heard two girls whispering and giggling at each other. Of course, This was normal perhaps they were talking about a new crush or something like that. She was never the type to... eavesdrop, however in a hushed tone, she heard mentions of a new club? She was definitely interested, she eventually found herself following them.

"There's apparently a new club at school!"

"Oh really? what's so special about it? if you didn't know there's like hundred clubs at the school" Mildred walked quietly behind the girls, and well- she had to question that statement, were there really that many clubs? She racked her brain for any active clubs and she came up with a grand total of... two clubs that she knew were active, who knows though perhaps there were more active clubs and she just didn't know about them.

"Well! This club is special alright?" she watched as the girl stuck her tongue out, "It's a... wait for it- HOST CLUB" Mildred winced at the volume the girl had said the last part... someone's clearly excited.

"Host club? what's that?"

"I dunno, something where hot people talk to you? Not really sure but it seemed cool, you have to go with me later! It's in the rehearsal room, alright! " She watched as the girl shook her other friend and jumped up and down, this host club definitely catered to a certain group of students, definitely not her.

At this point, Mildred shrugged and walked off when she realized it was just some host club- whatever that was, she walked past them and went to class. While she was in class, she couldn't help but think of the two girls from before and the club... Should she go? "no nono never in a million years..." she told herself, she had... better things to do with her time like studying and some more studying.

She sighed and snapped shut the book she was reading, in the end she didn't have anything better to do with her time, plus there should be food right? or something to eat. She could go there and leave once she realized what an awful idea it was to go there, and she could live and tell the story of the one time she actually did something with her time- and how she came to regret it.

Once classes were over, Mildred decided that she didn't really want to... do this alone, she stopped at the common rooms and grabbed Chicken- her stuffed animal friend and then walked towards the fourth floor of the rehearsal room and opened the door- suddenly the smell of... something flowery invaded her senses and she couldn't think of anything other than the smell- dear merlin, did they douse the room in something? She coughed into her elbow as she quickly walked into the room. You definitely do not see me... this was embarrassing to have attended something like this

She eventually got used to the smell, and stood there in shock of the room- she found herself blinking and wondering if she was in the right place? was she suddenly transported into a different reality? She must applaud the club as they clearly have outdone themselves. The room was decorated with a variety of leafy greens and with chairs and tables that did look comfortable, she had to give that to them. If anything, the whole room screamed "Rich"

She looked around the room and spotted a familiar head of blonde locks, she quickly walked towards them, could she hug her? was this like... a job or something? "Hey Willow! I didn't know you were apart of this... club, what is it anyways?" She picked up chicken and waved his nub/leg at her, "Chicken says Hello!, so uhm... am I supposed to pick someone or something? can I just sit somewhere and drink tea?"

Interacting with @Persephone Barret

He had seen her hesitantly walk into the club room, dressed in the dark colors resembling a lavender flower, the first client of the club, and just slightly familiar, he had seen her in passing in the common room. He watched her head towards him with reluctance, and he knew there had to be some other reason she was here, but she was was here for romance, so he would gladly comply. Responding to her compliment of him, he gracefully stood up from his and with one fluid motion, ended on one knee, lightly tossed his hair slightly, with one hand placed upon his chest, and the other behind his chest. Slightly bowing, he said with passion and elegance, "My beloved princess, you flatter me with your compliments. May I humbly offer my own to repay your kind words. Your bewitching emerald eyes, bring great honor to House Slytherin, and make even my ring lose color. Words fail me when trying to describe your enchanting beauty and I must offer myself to you, to be your host for the afternoon." He lifted his amber colored eyes to meet hers, in an unblinking moment of smoldering passion. "A prince without his princess is quite sad, so will you be mine?"

Serena was looking forward to heading to the Rehearsal Room. She had had a long day, and needed to get her feelings out on the piano. But as she opened the door, a very…different sight greeted her.

Rose petals came floating past her, and…the entire room had been changed! Luxurious curtains lined the windows. A beautiful chandelier hung from the ceiling, and several tea tables were dotted around the room. Wh-what was going on here?! Where was the piano?! And what were these people doing in the center of the room?! She even recognized a few of them. As she saw Willow, Serena couldn't help but glance down at the two friendship bracelets on her wrist. Was she apart of this? Serena also noticed that her Quidditch teammate, Annie, was there.

Was this a party that Serena was unaware of? Was she crashing a private get-together? Serena debated on just turning around and leaving, but her curiosity took over. The first-year would stay until she got kicked out or decided to go. Who knew, it could be…fun? Placing her piano music back into the school bag slung over her shoulder, Serena brushed off her blue and white checkered dress and looked around the room, trying to get her bearings together before interacting with anyone else.

Open to interactions from any host who wants to explain to this poor confused girl what's going on
