We know that everyone is going to want to keep in touch over the holiday break, so here we go! This is the post for all the texting that will happen. Please Put in the heading who the text is meant for, and the time that it went out. If there are time zone issues, feel free to just say "Tuesday Night" or "Before noon on Sunday". If you feel the need to put in a character's telephone number, feel free! But it is not a requirement, by any means.

For Example:

Try to keep the format:

TO: Meka, Keegan, Michi Friday night

Summary: It's the Sadie Hawkins dance! Ladies choice, so get out there and have some fun!

There was a subtle theme for tonight's Sadie Hawkins dance. No bright lights, or obviously themed decorations. No shaped confetti or strange creatures wandering around dressed in costumes. No costumes were in evidence at all, in fact. There was nothing cheesy or funny or overdone or bright or overt about the hall for tonight's dance.

Instead, tonight, there was soft lighting in places (though not too soft. The chaperones made sure of that), blue and soft gold table decorations and centerpieces, and a dance floor with charmed candles high above to provide light to see and dance by. The candles were charmed to change colors with the music, much the way that Muggle lights were done in dance clubs and the like. It added atmosphere without looking gaudy. Here and there were the teachers who were going to be watching over things for the evening, there was a long refreshment table off to one side, and the tables for sitting and relaxing were staged around the dance floor. All in all, a subtly decorated place where students could come in and dance and mingle.


((OOC: This will count for the month of April's activity. All threads made herein, no matter when actually posted, will count for April! Be sure and tag yourselves when your characters enter the scene. Any questions? Contact a mod!))

Characters: Everyone!
Setting: The Van Rensselaer home, NOLA. Tues March 8th
Content: NSFW. Just calling that now.
Summary: It's Mardi Gras in NOLA. Naturally someone has to have a party.

Never mind that it was a school night, Quinn wanted a party. She'd been intending to throw one on Mardi Gras and had been working on her uncle for some time to let her have the house. Finally she had won out. Not only did she get permission, but Noah and his wife vacated for the next couple days to allow her the opportunity for the party as well as the clean up. There was plenty of room for people to crash that night before they had to manage to get to class the following day.

The main portion of the house was decorated with all sorts of Mardi Gras decorations. Streamers, masks, draped boas, and other brightly coloured items to mark the festival. Quinn had made sure there was plenty of starting alcohol available, all obtained through a reliable source and none from her own stash. She was sure more people would bring their own to fill it out. Even food was available, though the size of the alcohol table was far larger.

A house elf was aiding the hostess in passing out beads to the male attendees while the hostess herself filled her arm with a bunch to pass out as she made her rounds.

It's Mardi Gras, and it's time to party.

Characters: Sibyl and OPEN
Setting: Sunday evening, the commons.
Ratings: SFW most likely
Summary: Sibyl dares to venture outside to try her craft.


So maybe it wasn't the best time to be outside. The sun was setting and it was quickly getting dark. Still, Sibyl was perched underneath one of the lamps in the commons so that she could see in the fading light. That also put her closer to a building in case she had to duck inside.

One of the things she had been attempting to work on in Divination class was her automatic writing ability. If one could call it an ability instead of a curse or something. Still, the point of some exercises was to help her be able to command it. Use it when she wanted it. That was much easier said than done.

Sibyl spent a long stretch of time crouched over her notebook, letting the pen make a series of lazy swirls on the paper as she closed her eyes and hoped for something. Anything. Instead, she got nothing. Frowning, Sibyl sat back and let out a little frustrated huff.

Characters: Apple and... OPEN!
Setting: Dragon's Den, the Bon, Sunday afternoon
Rating: SFW
Content: Apple is hanging out when...

Apple couldn't sit still, he wasn't usually a super active person but there was no stopping his jitters. A thing snacking on people on campus? It was too much to process, so with a copy of his drawing and his hoodie he headed out for Dragon's Den.

Once he was there he settled in at the back of the room with a glass of pumpkin juice and his thoughts, staring out at nothing in particular.

Friday afternoon, a large brown owl delivers a small white box wrapped in antique newspaper to Sibyl's room. There is a small white card taped to the front that merely reads:

"Merry Christmas."

Summary: It's the Snowflake Ball!

The main hall of the Crescent City Institute had been completely transformed for the school's annual Snowflake Ball. Instead of a grand, but rather bland, hall, there was now an utterly festive atmosphere. A giant tree was the focal point now, decorated with real icicles and pine needles, and tiny fairies sitting politely on the ends of branches to provide a twinkling effect. Pillars were festooned with garlands and ribbon, tables set up with snowy white tablecloths, and the floor had been charmed to give off a low, misty effect. It was an effect that went well with the effect placed on the ceiling.

This was Louisiana, after all, and it wasn't often that they got heavy snow. But for tonight at least, there was snow at CCI. Or rather, in CCI. Snow fell prettily from the enchanted ceiling, warm and not wet at all. It evaporated before it hit the floor, but there was a charming quality to it as it fell among the Ball's attendees. In some spots, little floating lights, much like will-o-wisps floated amid the falling snow. Here and there, professors walked among the students giving greetings and compliments, and sometimes rebukes, all garbed in their holiday best. Some wore dress robes, others donned more Muggle attire. All in all, it was a beautiful occasion.

A nice silver box is delivered to Meka's dorm room after dinner on Monday night. A note is attached to the outside, reading:

"Here's a couple things to keep you occupied over break and I hope you like the movie!

- Secret Santa S.B."
