On the outside, the tent appears to be a regular tent so as not to draw any suspicion, though those with keener gazes may notice the slight frosting-over of the silvery fabric near its peak and close to the ground. Should any who do not live inside try to touch the fabric, they may receive quite a shock as the cloth is freezing to the touch! However, those who reside within will be able to pull aside the tent flaps without getting frostbite and enter the airy interior.

Inside, the tent air is slightly chilly and the palace-like interior much bigger than its exterior, with its walls appearing to be made entirely of ice and a snow-covered floor. Large arched "windows" on each wall provide a shadowy view of real-time silhouettes moving by outside, and those who are brave enough to place an ear to the cold icy wall may even hear the distorted conversations of those passing - perfect for gossips and people who like to eavesdrop. A tent-like ceiling is held up by ten large ice columns, and over the course of the camp, residents may notice stalactites slowly growing downwards from the high, arched roof above.

Rather than bunk beds, residents of this tent may each claim a large, circular, and comfortable lounge bed, which each have a lowered portion perfect for a pet to curl up at one's feet. Meals may be taken at the icy table and chairs, and there is plenty of room for everyone to spread out. If you have an icy demeanor, this may be the tent for you.

ooc note:

Sage flipped open the silver tent's flaps quickly, ducking inside the chilly air. A wave of frosty air slapped her in the face as she walked inside. The Frozen Palace had a floor of ice and snow, a floor that Sage most definitely be victim of tripping over.

Sage paused in the entry area and looked around her home for the summer. This would do. Sage was slightly unfamiliar with the London Quidditch Stadium, but hopefully she would adjust quickly.

There was another girl already inside the tent, one that Sage couldn't remember ever meeting. Sage offered her a small wave and slight nod to be polite, then turned to lift her bag from where she had set it on the floor. She made her way towards one of the lounge beds in the tent.

She held her arms out, her trunk bumping into her with every step, trying to balance on the slick floors. A little more than a foot away from the bed she intended to claim, she slipped on the icy floor and hit the ground. Her trunk slid away from her, bumping the edge of the bed.

"Oh, geez," Sage mumbled, getting to her feet. She glanced up at the other girl. "Was the floor just as icy for you, or did it save all it's slickness for me?"

Once she was on her feet, she lifted her trunk and set it on the bed it had bumped into. She shook her head, trying not to be too embarrassed. Hopefully her falling wouldn't be a daily occurrence.

Aurélie had been excited about summer camp for weeks. It would be just like attending Beauxbatons, except full of fun and she would get to meet people from all the magical schools, just like at the Hogwarts balls. Another positive point would be that she wouldn't have to see her parents and entertain their fads. She'd been so enthusiastic that she'd signed up for almost every activity possible, wanting to try everything.

As she entered the quidditch stadium, fully expecting to find some mild decoration, Aurélie was amazed to find the place covered in snow with a full on winter theme. After taking a few minutes to wander around the site, exploring and just admiring the beautiful decorations, Aurélie decided to make her way to her assigned tent. After all, she needed to get rid of her heavy trunk, claim a good spot in the tent, and meet her tentmates.

Ducking into her tent, Aurélie was once again amazed to see the icy interior. Her eyes scanned everything. Almost as soon as she laid eyes on the two girls already in the tent, one of them seemed to slip and fall. Eyes widening, Aurélie rushed forward, dropping her trunk near the entrance, concerned. But before she could bend down to help or ask if the girl, who she didn't know, was alright, she had gotten up by herself, grumbling something about the slippery floor.

Aurélie giggled softly. She moved a little so that both the girls could see her before introducing herself. "You're definitely right, the floor is really slick. I'm Aurélie, by the way. A Beauxbatons student." She added the last sentence after a moment of hesitation, deciding that it was important information to share, especially in a summer camp that allowed students from every magical school.

French English Thoughts

Everything had been going decently smooth today, Jamie had gotten to the stadium later than she had wanted to due to her parents not being ready to leave when she was. Which had annoyed her to no end as they had know at what time she had wanted to leave and this would mean she couldn't get there at the time she wanted to. But she put it aside, collected herself, and accepted the fact that she wouldn't be one of the first there. Nothing to stress about.

Other than that she got there at a reasonable time, a little surprised by the snowy decoration of the Stadium, but nothing she couldn't handle. She was always prepared for anything and thus had a decent amount of warmer clothes with her as well. She knew that England tended to be a lot colder than France so she had already prepared in that aspect, and long sleeves and jumpers had been added to the pack list. Going over to get all the information about camp, she also got her tent for the duration of camp, something called; the Frozen Palace tent. Sounded interesting, although she didn't recognise any of the names on the tent list, which wouldn't be that much of a problem but she would have liked to know at least one person.

Walking over to her assigned tent she wondered what the others would be like, not that she really cared that much but it was always good to already have an idea so that she could prepare on what to say. Finally getting to the tent she opens the flap, being greeted by a bit of a chill and sees 3 others already occupying the space. Quickly taking in the space she notes that everything looked as if it were made of ice, which meant that she would have to walk carefully as to not slip which she thought was a bit impractical. The beds looked comfortable though.

Walking up to the other students in the tent she heard them talking, mostly likely introducing themselves and decided to introduce herself as well before putting her stuff on a bed to claim it.

"Hi, I'm Jamie, a second year student from Beauxbatons. I don't know what beds have already been claimed but I would prefer one close to the door. Does anybody have a problem with that?" She says with a French accent, a smile on her face and trying to gauge the others personalities. If the bed was taken she was ready to try and convince the girl that had taken it to swap, so preparing for the worst she started to compile arguments.

Roleplaying as iNPC Maurice Andrieux

______________________________

The last thing Maurice had expected upon entering the large stadium was the showy winter wonderland that completely contradicted the warm summer weather that had plagued him all the way from France to London. It was at once relieving, as well as shocking to the young boy, who had grown far too accustomed to the warmth of Pau, the commune he called home. Already he was eager to receive his tent assignment, and possibly escape the chilly stadium.

It hadn't been his idea to come to summer camp. He had been owling with his eldest sister for weeks, and she told him it would be a good opportunity for him to make some more friends in the wizarding world. Though it wasn't easy to read tone over letters, Maurice could tell that her alongside all his family were still trying to come to terms with the revelation of him being a wizard. Despite his better judgement, he often worried that the reason they wanted him at the camp was to keep him out of the house for a little longer. It wasn't fear, but it certainly wasn't full acceptance.

As he crunched his way through the crowd of students, he couldn't help but admire the rich details of the camp, as well as the expansive landscape being entirely covered with large tents. It reminded him of his cramped neighborhood back home, where it seemed like everything was within walking distance. He pushed his long blonde hair back anxiously as he took in the already bustling atmosphere, praying that the tent was perhaps a little bit more contained. Once he finally found the person in charge of handing out itineraries and maps, he was quick to scurry off to the location of his tent.

He all but ran to the entrance once he finally found the tent, appearing exactly the same as all the others despite the promises of unique tents for each person. He had hardly any time to wallow on that fact when, upon pulling back the chilly tent flap and stepping inside, he found that the entire interior had been decorated to look like a winter palace. With an impressed whistle, he let the flap fall back behind him.

His feet slid against the snowy white floor, and a small breeze drifted through the room as if coming from an invisible window. Blurry silhouettes wandered past the tall windows that surrounded the tent, giving an almost anonymous sensation to the young boy. And, appearing in his sight like an angel to a beggar, was a glorious array of circular beds, just waiting for Maurice to flop down in them and never wake up. Though he had easily concealed it during his entrance, the trip over had left him so exhausted it was hard to keep his eyes open.

First, though, some introductions were in order. Already, four of his supposed roommates were set up around the room, all at their own stages of settling into the new atmosphere. His English was still a work in progress, but he made a hasty attempt at joking.

"I'll take any bed as soon as possible, please." He slid forward a bit, finally finding his ground and taking careful steps towards what appeared to be an unclaimed bed near the back. Once he managed to put down his things and dig out a dark denim jacket from his bag, he continued with, "I'm Maurice. Beauxbatons."

Sere arrived in front of one of the tents provided as a place to rest during Summer Camp. She could see the names of seven other people beside the tent entrance. She could also hear the voices of several girls talking to each other. I'm not coming as the first one, for sure. Maybe Sere spent quite a lot of time eating at the opening feast.

The Gryffindor girl pulled aside the tent flaps and could instantly feel the chilling air from her fingertips. Sere stepped in and spat another "Whoa!" out of her mouth. The next extraordinary surprise from the Summer Camp committee. Sere could see almost everything made of ice in this tent, starting from the walls, chairs, to the floor. Well, yeah, the floor is so slick and it gets quite slippery, that's the minus point. But the floor matter is immediately forgiven when Sere found the circular bed which looked so unique, comfortable and warm.

"Hi, everyone." Sere cleared her throat, counting the number of people already in the tent. Looks like I am one of the last to get in here. She never greeted this much people at the same time before, so she's a little bit nervous but surely excited. "I am Sere, Sere Nade. Second year of Hogwarts. Nice to meet you all."

Her obsidian found that most of the beds, especially those near the entrance, had already been tagged by other people, so she decided to take a bed in the deepest part, fourth from the right side of the entrance. She put her travel bag on the bed and the bunny cage in the lower version of the lounge bed which seemed to be actually provided for pets.

Among the tent occupants who were standing close to each other, Sere chose to step closer to the brown-eyed girl with collarbone length hair colored the same as her eyes @Sage Willows and asked, "Hi, sorry for interrupting you. Is that bed empty?" Sere pointed at the bed with her travel bag on it, "And... I am actually pretty late. Did I miss something important from this conversation?"

ooc note: open to interaction!

Sage's face had turned a deep crimson after slipping. She turned to find a girl she'd never seen before with a concerned look written across her face. She remarked about the floor like Sage had done.

"Yeah, it's really slick! We'd all better walk really carefully, like penguins!" She laughed and demonstrated. "Nice to meet you, Aurélie. I'm Sage." She had a bit of difficulty pronouncing the name of the Beauxbatons girl, and probably butchered her name.

Another French student walked through the doors. Sage turned and smiled towards her. "Nice to meet you!" She went back to looking through her trunk.

And then another student from the French school walked in. Sage didn't speak any French, so she hoped the others spoke English. Sage waved to the French boy that had entered and her foot slipped a bit on the icy floor. She caught herself and managed to not end up back on the floor.

Then, to Sage's delight, a Hogwarts student entered. The girl introduced herself as Minnie, someone Sage had never met. She smiled and turned to her. "I'm from Hogwarts, too! I'm Sage."

Most people were in the tent at that time, but another Hogwarts girl entered. Sage couldn't remember meeting her before at school, but she smiled and waved anyway. She girl, Sere, approached her.

"Not really! We've all just been sort of introducing ourselves and claiming beds. And of course you can stay there!" She pointed at an empty bed near her. "I'm Sage, nice to meet you!"

She closed her trunk and sat down on her bed. "So," she said to everyone. "Who's excited for camp?"

Sage was particularly excited. She was on the planning committee, and she was loving how camp had turned out so far. It was a nice distraction from everything that had happened with her dad and family...

Ah, about introductions and the people in this tent... Sere looked around, observing their faces one by one and realized that she had never met a single person in this tent before. So, I'm going to get seven new acquaintances at once? Well, killing two birds with one stone is not a bad idea at all. This is rather a good thing.

"Nice to meet you, Sage. You look so excited today." Sere stood in front of the girl, "This is my first Summer Camp and everything is so wonderful. I am really enjoying everything so far," except for the slippery floor she was standing on of course, "The committee planned it very well. I wonder who are behind all ot this."

Sere thought for a moment before saying, "I know there will be a lot of activities prepared for this Summer Camp, but I haven't decided which one to join. Umm... Everything seems so festive, too festive and not really suitable for me." This girl was actually someone with ambition and stiff soul, someone who didn't really fit in with the joyful atmosphere that drained so much emotion.

"I think I need some insight. Is there an event that you guys want to join? Or maybe you guys have already registered for it?" Sere asked not only Sage, but also all the the tent occupants.
