Bowling alley Break In
what's up? Several intrepid idiots students have planned a break in. After ducking out of Pocket's Party early, they make their way over to Elflock Lanes with the intention of going down into the basement where the missing students were found to do some investigating. Maybe even open a portal to hell, who knows?
how this works! This event is open to: Trudy, Lionel, Viola, Mary Grace, Eddy, Audrey, Merlin, Armani, and Maisy.

This bad boy is moving in real time. Once it's posted, you may begin threading, and mods will begin replying where appropriate. We won't wait until everyone has tagged in, so get in there!

Are you ready to die? :)
locations! WHAT’S UP?: It’s Friday night and you’ve opted to leave a Pocket Party to break into the local bowling establishment and attempt to open the locked secret hatch in its basement. What are you thinking? How are you feeling? What are you wearing for the occasion? How drunk are you? And most importantly, what items do you have on your person?

ON THE WAY: The rain comes down steadily as students make their way from Peckenpaugh into Elflock Falls. Everyone slips off the main road, traveling parallel to it in the woods so as not to be detected. A place for scenes between the Pocket Party and the investigation, when everyone thinks they know what tonight has in store, but before they actually do.

ELFLOCK LANES: Same as it ever is, only silent and dimly lit. Students make their way past the lanes and questionable hotdogs and rigged claw machine toward the door that leads down to the basement. Trudy unlocks it and students descend. It’s about as creepy as you’d expect: big, dark and packed with old bowling alley equipment, pins and broken bowling balls, smelly old rental shoes and setter parts. There’s a broken Snoop Crupp-themed pinball machine amid shelves and shelves of old decorations and boxes of flyers and ads for past events. And tonight, with students from all four houses willingly present, a hatch appears in the center of the concrete floor.

END OF THE NIGHT: TBD, as we don’t know what is going to happen. But a place for scenes on the way home or for back in the dorm rooms.

WHAT'S UP, Mary Grace?

[personal profile] crowhop 2020-05-15 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Mary Grace is a little tipsy, a little stoned, and wearing her most comfortable cowboy boots. Which are terrible sneaking shoes because they're not quiet and not exactly made for feats of athleticism, but she can run in them and that's what's most important.

MARY GRACE'S SHIT LIST:
Wand
Phone
Earbuds with one working ear
Journal/Pen
Lighter
WizToids tin with 2.5 poorly rolled joints
Tampons
Like 90 hairbands
Pocketknife
A metal straw
A mix of muggle and wizard change
Ticket stub for the Big Pot
Several condiment packets (ketchup, mustard, mayo, hot sauce)
Handful of napkins
Three wizcondoms
Key ring, including keys for the Big Bed dorm (and the boys' because sometimes Wyatt gets locked out), some student council or work things, and a dog-shaped self defense keychain
Just some... rocks? This purse really needs to be cleaned out, she definitely looks like a mom of toddlers but without the snacks.

WHAT'S UP, ARMANI?

[personal profile] teratophilia 2020-05-15 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Armani nursed one glass of wine the entire night and is still very sober. He is wearing solid black robes that only billow a slightly above average amount, instead of dramatically.

Items on hand:

- Wand. Silver Lime, Thestral tail hair, 11in, Swishy.
- Rex's magic weed killer paper football
- Gucci Bag of Holding. Black leather backpack debossed with Gucci logo. Holds as much as a regular school backpack, but lets everyone know you are better than them.
- Poetry Cult Keyhole Mouth Mask, charmed white.
- Oh My Glyphs!: One Girl's Guide to Deciphering Glyphs.
- Reusable Gel Ice Packs With Strap x 6 (All four limbs, one around chest, one around neck.)
- A black turtleneck sweater to cover up the hideous ice pack around his neck, and also he is very cold now because of the ice packs.
- Crystal healing jewelry (various): Clear quartz, jade, agate, black obsidian.... and rose quartz.
- Blank notebook, network journal, and pen.
- Cell phone with charger and Sailor Moon compact power bank. Power bank doubles as a mirror.
- A family size bag of peanut butter M&Ms. Resealable zip.
- Aquaphor lip balm.
- Breath mints.
- Vial of his own blood.

WHAT'S UP, Viola?

[personal profile] tristfully 2020-05-15 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Viola is resigned to this. She's not quite so narcissistic to believe that breaking into a bowling alley on a warm, wet night in mid-May is her destiny but her footfalls are heavy with purpose as she makes her way toward Elflock Lanes. Not unusually, she has purple crescents beneath her eyes but the greys of her irises are alert. Dressed simply in charcoal and slate, she blends in with the shadows although she is all but certain that she won't escape from this adventure without, at least, a call home. That's okay. It wouldn't be the first time the Warbecks received a visit from a Hitwizard in regards to their daughters.

Unsurprisingly, she hangs near the back of the pack and observes. Perhaps surprisingly, she sticks close to Lionel and Eddy, who she is feeling a particular and peculiar kindred to in this moment.

On her back, she has a small, black leather backpack with an extension charm on the inside. It's a store-bought bag that makes the inside about the size of a locker—there are no secret hideouts in there or anything. With her she is carrying:

Her wand (10.5", Hazel wood, Morgen hair)
A black silk mask with gold circles over the eyes and a golden keyhole for a mouth that turns her voice into a clipped transatlantic accent when worn
Her network journal
A smooth writing pen
A second journal with bits of lyrics, poetry, weird feelings, and notes about mysteries jotted inside
A single hair elastic
A half pack of clove cigarettes
Two nips of gin
Glyphopedia: A Not So Comprehensive Guide
A screwdriver
A walkwiz magiCD player
Bob Dylan's A New Morning CD
Foolishly oversized headphones
Over the counter burn cream potions (4)

WHAT'S UP, Eddy?

[personal profile] quidditched 2020-05-15 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
This trip feels overdue, but also like something that could've been avoided. Somehow. Eddy doesn't know how. Too late to figure that out now. Birds, and a rock, and ghost messages, and a memory that isn't his own keep pushing him forward. And now the realization that whatever catastrophe happened before seems to be happening again.

It's no longer just some weird shit to try to make sense of.

Doesn't make him suddenly feel like he's ready to be a hero, either.

He'd meant to keep a clear head tonight, but as the party wore on and more polish got chipped off his nails, he'd indulged in just enough alcohol to take the edge off the anxiety. Doesn't stop him from gripping his wand tighter than necessary as they walk, though. Viola's quiet presence nearby is a comfort.

Hours of freezing charm practice had been crammed into the past couple days to make up for the fact that impeccable is a word that'd never be used to describe his casting abilities. It's helped. Hopefully.

And maybe the basement's just a basement.

On a regular day, Eddy's wardrobe almost seems like it's been selected specifically for raising suspicion whenever he wanders near an establishment late at night. Tonight, instead, he's traded away his leather jacket for his black NASA hoodie. You know, to blend in. It's the only alteration to his usual wardrobe though, eyes still ringed in black and hands shoved into his hoodie pocket as he walks.

Eddy travels light. Aside from his wand, he's got a wallet with a few dragots and a photo of his mamas inside, and some crumbs from whatever Mickey was eating earlier today in his hoodie pocket.

WHAT'S UP, Lionel?

[personal profile] lionellovelace 2020-05-15 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Lionel Lovelace is all wrapped up. In a worn olive trench coat. In his thoughts. And in his feelings.

He hangs back during the walk. His mind won't stay still. He thinks of Mr. Qualls' memory he experienced earlier today. He thinks of his teacher. Of the other Lionel. Of their love and their loss. Of what happened thirty years ago. Of what they might find tonight. He tries to stop thinking. Fair or not, he wears the Qualls' family history like a tight turtleneck. A sense of personal responsibility that chokes him.

Lionel is stone cold sober, but puffs on a hand-rolled cigarette. The pockets of his trench coat contain loose-leaf tobacco, rolling paper, a matchbook from a bar called The Friend, his wand, his journal (inside which is a flyer from the greenhouse), a fountain pen, a small flashlight, spearmint chewing gum, a black silk mask with gold circle eyes and a golden keyhole mouth that makes his voice sound older, a can of compressed air, some money, his cellphone, and a laser pointer.

WHAT'S UP, Audrey??

[personal profile] andpoke 2020-05-15 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Audrey is another designated driver for this ride into hell. She couldn’t risk a headache. She’s dressed as she’s always dressed, now that it’s just warm enough for shorts and a sweater so big it renders the shorts invisible. She’s calm. She’s always calm. The feeling of it being a terrible reunion is prominent.
She hopes it isn’t.

Audrey Has:
Wand
Phone
8 dragots
Journal/pen
Poetry Club Mask, I don’t remember its color I’m sorry I can’t go looking I’m trash
Her purple flower brooch
The bag of Valentine’s candy that said someone was trapped
A teabag
Simple wax tea candle
Some moss, for luck

WHAT'S UP, Maisy?

[personal profile] dareyouto 2020-05-16 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
Maisy's not drunk, but she isn't sober. She packed light, because this is a serious reconnaissance mission and she is being serious about it.

MAISY'S POSSESSIONS INCLUDE:
1 Cute Cat Burglar Outfit (consisting of: a dress-code inappropriate black top, a black leopard print moto jacket, artfully torn black jeans, black boots, a black kanken backpack, and, of course, some black cat ears)
1 Wand (hers)
1 black face mask (will not wear it unless peer pressured)
1 manual SLR camera (school property)
3 scrunchies, various colors
5 sticks of spearmint gum
1 network journal (hers)
1 notebook (ostensibly for herbology class notes, mostly blank)
3 bottles of WizGatorade (red, blue, and orange)
3 pens (black, purple, silver glitter gel)
1 extra pair of socks (black)
Various dubiously effective tools for divination, "borrowed" from her aunts (including: crystal on a chain, dowsing rods, bag of bone shards, bundle of sticks with symbols on them)
Various loose coins, varying denominations
Edited (actually) 2020-05-16 02:52 (UTC)

ON THE WAY: Armani & Open++ (Open to chaining)

[personal profile] teratophilia 2020-05-15 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"What did y'all bring?" he asks the group excitedly in a hushed whisper. He lowers his turtle neck, just a peek. "I wore ice packs so the vines won't try to choke me out again."

ELFLOCK LANES: Down the hatch! (Open to all ⛓️)

[personal profile] teratophilia 2020-05-15 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"So..." he says, hands clasped behind his back, looking down at the revealed hatch. "Who wants to go first?"

Hey y'all as we are reaching Very Late EST, I wanted to confirm that we WILL continue to thread this through tomorrow at least. I'll keep moderating it and adding in Pouch as needed to keep things moving through tomorrow morning, but will do my absolute best to ensure the most people are around and available for anything big.

CAN Y'ALL LET ME KNOW WHENABOUTS YOU'LL BE MOST AVAILABLE? And the timezone for that window. Thank you. C:
