Secret Blossom Ball Event Finished

Come ooon. Come. ON.

It was difficult. Too difficult. This flying of the broom. Far more difficult than it had any right to be. Sure, Woodward was struggling with the mosp still, the over-sized bug buzzing and jerking in his arms and its makeshift net in an attempt to break itself free. But even still. It felt like they were moving through molasses, trapped in some sort of invisible force net. It made no sense, and the more she fought it, the more her blood seemed to boil, the tempo of the pulse in her head pounding to a crescendo. Why. Why.

Why. Wouldn't. It. MOVE?!

This was the Silver! The Silver Arrow. She'd seen this broom in action. Perhaps she hadn't driven it before, but she was no novice to being its passenger, nor to feeling the way it seemed to seamlessly cut through air with barely a thought to coax its movement. But now. It was like it was no better than a school broom. It almost seemed as though some sort of something were interfering with its passage. Her panic only mounted further, the sense of helplessness layering itself steadily higher as her efforts, her one task, seemed to prove futile. They were trapped. Ever fumble of the bug seemed to hinder their progress to a stand still. They weren't getting out. They couldn't escape.

"Just let it go!" she practically pleaded, voice wavering as the sensibility of her mind slowly unraveled. He had to let it go. They needed to leave. The fires below had molded and dwindled, and in their wake had appeared a massive snake. Another beast to add to the chaos. More of these monsters were appearing, only now in other forms. "Please..." Tears streamed unhindered down her cheeks. "Just throw it away. Why are you--- CHARLIE!"

Her eyes flew wide, her shriek slicing through the last of her barely retained reason as crimson arced in a splatter. It took second to register what had happened, and another to realize that Woodward's arms were now empty, which meant one thing. The bug was free.

It was fight or flight, and Evelynn's resolve to fight had been slowly trickling away, disappearing altogether into the hazy void below the moment that Woodward's health had been compromised. He'd been stabbed. By that... thing. She had no idea how badly. Or if it was poisonous. She didn't know any spells. She didn't have any supplies. She should have thought of that. She could have worn something around her leg to act as a tourniquet. She could have strapped a small kit to her thigh. She hadn't. Why hadn't she thought of that. Out. They needed out. To the hospital wing. Quickly.

"It's fine," she sobbed, voice cracking. Suddenly none of it mattered. It could be dealt with later, if at all. He was hurt. This took priority. "Nevermind that. Pressure, Woodward. Apply pressure. Put your hand on it. Don't let it off.." She wrapped one hand around his middle to try to steady him on the broom, while the other renewed its commanding grip about the broom's handle. He'd sounded like he was wavering, and she couldn't quite be sure if his unsteadiness in his seat was real, or just her imagination. But in the event that he started to lose consciousness, she wasn't going to let him fall. "Just... Just hold on. I'm taking you to the hospital wing."

It was utter chaos.
People were screaming, stuff was on fire and the disgusting mosps were everywhere. The smoke was begging to clear and once it did he couldn't see the fire flickering in the distance anymore (or at least it wasn't large enough to be a problem). Fred wasn't sure how it had suddenly dissapeared but now wasn't the time to find out, and he certainly wasn't complaining about it. A while back when the lights had turned off he had lost track of his date @Janet Jackson , he felt sort of guilty for not keeping track of her whereabouts better and he was determined to relocate her position. Fred sprinted through the crowd and squinted through the now not-so-large crowds in an attempt to find her, several more minutes and he had spotted her distinctive mint green dress in the distance. He sprinted up to her and froze once he saw the nearby mosp. Janet seemed to be attacking it with a chair in an attempt to either injure it or re direct it's focus from a beat up looking boy leaning against a table @Percival Gray . Well it seemed she was holding up just fine on her own (looking a bit battered and bruised but not seriously injured) and she had even decided she was well enough to go and do a bit of rescuing other people. Well he couldn't say he was surprised. Janet was independent enough to look after herself and due to her fiery personality it wasn't shocking to see her chuck a chair at a mosp that had been about to attack someone. And it seemed to be quite a hard throw too. "JANET!" he yelled across the pitch waving his arms frantically, "OVER HERE!"
He doubted that she would be able to hear him so he ran a little closer. Maybe he should help too? Despite Janet being rather strong (stronger than him even) he doubted that the mosp would be injured enough to drop dead on the floor or anything. So he hesitantly picked up a jug of water and added it to the list of things being hurled at that unfortunate mosps head.

Interacting with @Flash Holmwood

Willow was getting so tired.

Her impromptu tourniquet wasn't super effective, her hands and arms were still covered in her own blood, she was choking on smoke, and they were still being attacked. Even though the professors arrived, it was obvious it would take them a bit to effectively get everyone out of there. They had to keep fighting for now, but Willow was so tired of fighting.

She just wanted to curl up on the floor. Everything hurt. Not just physically but emotionally. Ruka had completely abandoned her despite being her date, Rafael immediately up and left despite roping her in to his own stupid plan. Once again, Flash was the only one that was willing to stick by her side. Even if it meant him being an absolute idiot in his attack strategy. Not that hers was much better, her torch did nothing. It soared through the air and with an anticlimactic finish landed on the ground. The hold on her wand was weak, her resilience was wearing thin.

A thought crossed her mind, 'I want to go home.' She wanted to be back with her family, in a warm bed, being soothed to sleep by her mother as if this was all a nightmare. That's what this was. This whole month was a nightmare. Between the Hufflepuff fire and now this there was no time to rest, to recuperate and pick up the pieces again. She was twelve, there was no reason for her to have already gone through so much at such a young age at a school no less. This was supposed to be a safe place. A place of learning, education, of her friends not being mortally wounded. Yet here they were, fighting for their lives.

From her useless place on the floor she raised her wand once more. "Incendio!" She wanted this bug to die. She wanted to be on a morning walk with Flash. Or cuddling with Mildred to forget about the darkness of the night. In the arms of her mother to forget the pain. Tears slowly started to freely flow down her face. Her adrenaline was wearing off, the screaming pain of her leg becoming more and more prominent. She needed to get to the hospital wing, but they couldn't leave until this damned bug was dead.

Her eyes moved to look at Flash, determined, fighting. There was a strength to be admired in her brother, one that she wished she possessed. He wasn't the kind to back down when others were at risk. There was an intricate and clumsy dance they were doing of trying to make sure the other didn't get hurt. It wasn't working out that well, but it was the dance she was most grateful for that night.

This is a Moderation Post

Note: As of this round, there is no more fire or smoke affecting the pitch.

Despite the arrival of three Hogwarts professors, a lot of the students were still focused on fighting each other. This was their opportunity to escape, and they were all squandering it! In fact, several people seemed to just be standing around and watching the chaos rather than writing an exit post.

Over on the dance floor, @Vladimir Athanatos' legs continued to dance, keeping him from moving where he wanted to. Nevertheless, he aimed his wand at the severely-burned @Anastasia Beckett, intending to take her out of the equation. Unbeknownst to him, the girl he had knocked down before was aiming her wand at him. @Astrea Soleil Neptune intended to disarm Vlad before he had the opportunity to do more harm. As she spoke the incantation, though, her own cherry wood wand was flung out of her hands. It seemed the spell had rebounded, sending her wand soaring onto the grass in the distance. It had landed next to the table that the sixteenth mosp was on, to be exact.

This meant Vladimir was free to cast his own spell, "Flipendo!"

In the same moment, Anastasia called out the same incantation and their spells passed each other in midair. The crispy princess was sent flying backwards, having taken the full hit of the spell. Its critical nature left her knocked out on the ground, having taken 300 damage. Perhaps this was for the best, because she didn't have to see that her own spell had been totally useless as Vlad merely ducked his head and avoided it altogether.

Standing at Vladimir's side was @Thomas Lestrange who had recoiled from the surprise kiss of @Tyranni Whitethorn. Almost instinctively, the boy retaliated and charged her with his shoulder. He sent the young girl flying into @Ivy Bellamy, causing the both of them to crumple in a heap on the ground. Clearly, kissing Thomas was not the right move. It had resulted in 126 damage to her, and 63 damage to Ivy.

The pretty blonde @Marion Davenport pointed her wand at the girl who had just sent her flying moments ago. @Opeila Seilun was her victim this round, and she blasted the girl onto the ground with a well-cast knockback jinx. Opeila took 200 damage from the force of the spell.

@Victor Moore continued to remain motionless, but he was breathing and that was good. While @Nico Shymane had offered to give him a ride to the castle, it seemed that others were concerned that he might slip off the broom during the ride. @Dealla Prince ran off to get the attention of Professor @Kateri Karr. The Astronomy professor quickly came to the rescue and aimed her wand at the injured and unconscious boy. The third year rose to his feet automatically, his body now under the control of the spell that had been cast.

"The three of you are to protect and guide this young man back to the castle. Do not go to the hospital wing. You are all to head straight to the Great Hall where you will be taken care of." With those very specific instructions from the professor, Victor's unconscious body would begin to walk out of the pitch.

Kateri Wisdom Roll: 32 (to cast somnambulus)

@Victor Moore has successfully exited the ball

@Ruka Tân had decided to turn his attention to Victor's bag instead. He made his way over to where the flames used to be, and greeted his friend @Jack Burnett. Jack had taken it upon himself to crawl around the ground picking up the burnt remains of the flowers that had caused the mess in the first place. Lo and behold, he somehow recovered seventy of the flowers, because only six of them crumbled when he tried to pick them up. With great care, he put the remaining burned flowers in the vase he had acquired, but as he was placing the last one, he pricked his finger. He began to feel a burning sensation in his blood and felt burns cropping up on his skin- Just kidding. He was perfectly fine aside from a prick of blood.

Meanwhile, the bag that belonged to Victor suddenly dropped from the sky. It seemed that @Bridget Collins had released her hold on the bag, letting it fall to the ground with a sharp clinking noise. It sounded as though something inside may have broken, but there was no guarantee. It could've just been a trick of the ear. Carefully lowering the bag with your levitation would've been a full action, since you said you wanted it as a free action, this is the result.

Ruka grabbed the bag and with his nonexistent (<4) strength was unable to lift it, so he tried to drag it instead. This proved to be much more difficult than anticipated, though, and he failed in his endeavor. The bag refused to budge from its spot.

Jack Wisdom Roll: 25 (to find viable flowers)
How Many Crumble? 6 (out of 76)
Ruka Strength Roll: 12

Over near the entrance is where @Bridget Collins now found herself. She had seen @Santario Martin and @Vincent d'Arque fall from their broom and had rushed over to help. She pointed her wand at Santario's beloved camera and successfully mended it with, "Reparo!" The young Slytherin then mounted her broom and instructed Vincent to help the injured Santario onto the back. They were successful in this, and Bridget was more than prepared to exit the ball and rush Santario to safety.

Meanwhile, @Allister-Jameson MacAllister decided to try and give his friend/kiss-buddy @Lark Flaer a distraction to escape under. He pointed his wand up at the sky and cast the red-sparks charm, which launched up into the air and once again successfully lit the area above the pitch with a shower of sparks.

In another area of the ball, @Kara Capricorn suddenly had a personality shift and decided to collapse in the arms of @Hanako Tone.

Bridget Wisdom Roll: 23 (to cast reparo)

@Lark Flaer successfully exits the ball

Seventh mosp

The red mosp above the two girls (@Crystal Jagger and @Lizzie Verdine) was not going to suddenly feel sympathy because one had collapsed in tears. It was a magical beast, and it was angry. It descended on the two of them, but it seemed that Crystal had been keeping an eye out. With her arms still around Lizzie, she would roll them to the side, dodging the stingers that now found purchase in the grass where they had been. The mosp rose into the air again, determined to land its next attack.

Mosp Target? 2 (Crystal)
Mosp Accuracy Roll: 4 vs Crystal Evasion Roll: 12

Eighth mosp

This mosp had just regained full control of its little legs and stinger, having been struck by the Dancing-Feet Spell moments ago by @Ethen Emrys. It fully intended to go after the boy full speed now, but a spell cast that whizzed past and missed caught its attention. It turned to the source and saw the girl it had stung not long ago. @Atlas Reid had her wand pointed at the mosp, but her spell had missed (likely due to the pain and the smokescreen). With renewed energy, the mosp sped towards her with its stingers outstretched, ready to inject more venom into the resilient girl. Alas, the blonde dodged out of the way and avoided the creature's sting.

Atlas Accuracy Roll: 7 vs Mosp Evasion Roll: 10
Mosp Accuracy Roll: 7 vs Atlas Evasion Roll: 24

Ninth mosp

This red mosp had been after @Lydia Cooper since the arrival of the swarm, and now would not prove any different. Its proboscis flailed in her direction, still aware of her fragrance, before it descended once more. At long last, the creature found purchase in the girl's leg. Its twin stingers dug into her leg through the fabric of her dress, before retreating quickly. Perhaps not quickly enough, though, because the blue-haired girl swung her music stand again and knocked the mosp away from her. She dealt it 40 damage, but that was nothing in comparison to her own damage.

As the mosp retreated into the air, Lydia would feel the full burning sensation of 138 damage as her leg would bleed and the painful venom coursed through her. She was somehow able to spot a spell coming at her from the side, though, and dodged out of the way. It seemed @May Moonstar had tried to help by casting a blinding spell at the mosp, but for some reason, @Ariana Walker grabbed her wand arm and sent the spell in the direction of Lydia instead.

Another spell soared over Lydia's head, this time striking true on the mosp. It had been cast by @Aaron Jones, who was stuck dancing over by where the fires had been. The mosp began to do a little jig with its tiny arms and its butt.

Aaron Accuracy Roll: 24 v Mosp Evasion Roll: 17

May Accuracy Roll: 14 v Lydia Evasion Roll: 23

Eleventh mosp

This mosp on the dance floor was growing further agitated by the efforts of both @Flash Holmwood and @Willow Anderson trying to burn it. Both of their fire spells missed the mosp, who had seemingly learned to dodge these predictable fire stick attacks.

The mosp descended on Flash, successfully landing its two stingers into his wand arm, much much deeper than was safe. As the mosp flew back up, the wound was left severely bleeding and burning. 174 damage meant the boy would be in significant pain.

Willow Accuracy Roll: 14 vs Mosp Evasion Roll: 22 (natural 20)
Flash Accuracy Roll: 8 vs Mosp Evasion Roll: 11
Mosp Accuracy Roll: 14 vs Flash Evasion Roll: 6

Twelfth mosp

@Katrina Walker had decided to take her time and hide @Dale Kurt under the table, sacrificing her own defense to make sure that he was safe. Unfortunately for her, it meant she reacted slower to the mosp's next attack, and the red beast dug its stingers into her arm. Maybe not as bad as it could be, but it left a bleeding wound and a slight burning sensation akin to her ear. She took 90 damage from the attack, and the mosp didn't seem to be done with her.

Mosp Accuracy Roll: 11 vs Katrina Evasion Roll: 8

Fourteenth mosp

The mosp was barely hanging on after the last flurry of attacks, but it would not back down from the fight. It swooped low at @Rafael D'Spacito, but the first year just barely dodged out of the way. In the same moment, he crashed his fist into the mosp again and dealt another 225 damage. The mosp went crashing to the floor, unmoving. It seemed like it had taken one too many hits, and was now dead.

Rafael Accuracy Roll: 19 vs Mosp Evasion Roll: 16
Mosp Accuracy Roll: 5 vs Rafael Evasion Roll: 7

Fifteenth mosp Philipe

After shaking off the sweater of @Charlie Woodward, Philipe was quick to descend and get out of range of the boy's capture attempts. It wasn't necessary, because Charlie and @Evelynn Decipio decided to skedaddle at last. Without the burden of the constantly wriggling mosp, they met no resistance in their attempt to leave.

Down below where Philipe now hovered in the smokescreen, a familiar face appeared. @Piérre Marchonné had arrived with a collection of flowers for the mosp. Unfortunately for him, Philipe was on edge and unwilling to bargain with the flowers. Having been handled by the humans that had just left, it was not trustful. It knew they just wanted to entrap him.

"Aw no... Did someone hurt you? Here buddy... I heard that you and your friends like flowers, do you want some nectar?"

As soon as the flowers were thrown in his direction, Philipe flared up and dove down to the boy. The mosp's twin stingers found purchase in Piérre's leg, because the boy was too slow in trying to move out of the way. The critical nature of the stingers' placement meant that Piérre took 112 damage from the sting. He was bleeding and the wound was burning in pain. Perhaps Piérre would realize that the mosp was indeed a magical creature and not a cute pet. Although he had been gentle to start, Philipe was now in full attack/defense mode.

Philipe Accuracy Roll: 22 (natural 20) vs Piérre Evasion Roll: 8

@Charlie Woodward and @Evelynn Decipio successfully exit the ball

Sixteenth mosp

This mosp was the only mosp that was content to stay out of the fray, waving its proboscis in the vase of flowers provided by Crystal. The wand of @Astrea Soleil Neptune landed nearby, but its entire focus was on the flowers.

Twenty-first mosp

The mosp that was attacking @Percival Gray was now being confronted by several newcomers. @Fred Woods appeared at the edge of the situation, and he hurled a goblet he had found on one of the tables. The first year was quite strong and accurate, and he knocked the mosp straight in its head. The critical nature of his throw meant the goblet did 80 damage to the creature (rather than 40). @Janet Jackson was up next with her throw. She had grabbed a chair and hurled it in the mosp's direction. The creature dodged out of the way of this, and the chair went crashing into the food table. Drinks and burgers and fries went flying off the table, causing quite a mess.

Up next to confront the mosp, though, was an enormous white snake under the control of @Cypresse Lian. It struck with lightning fast reflex, crunching the mosp in its mouth and dealing 236 damage. The snake would take 107 damage from the flailing stinger of the mosp in its mouth, but it only took a moment before the mosp was unequivocally dead. The snake swallowed the creature easily and would surely be on the lookout for its next meal.

While the snake swallowed the mosp, Professor @Artemis Vernatis tended to the wounds of Percival, who had been victim to the mosp twice now. The professor cast the healing spell and stopped both the bleeding and the pain, granting him 120 health.

Snake Accuracy Roll: 26 vs Mosp Evasion Roll: 5
Mosp auto-hit snake from inside
Artemis Wisdom Roll: 28 (to cast reparifors)

Twenty-third mosp

The mosp high above the smokescreen with @River Dewlight was going in for another attack, but missed terribly. Instead, River aimed her wand and knocked the mosp back, dealing 140 damage to the creature. It seemed like she had the situation handled for the moment, but suddenly a spell came rocketing up from below. Rather than hitting the mosp (its intended target), the green sparks collided with River instead and partially blinded her (reducing her accuracy for next round). @May Moonstar had tried to help the situation, but it seemed she had now left River with a harder situation than before due to trying a second action... again.

The next moderation post will take place in one week (6/22).
If interacting with a mosp, please clarify which one.

Note: If you are currently engaged with a mosp, your movement to another area (thread) will be considered an attempt (meaning you cannot post in another thread until a mod post says you were successful in escaping).

Interacts with @Dealla Prince; @Amara Dragamior, @Ruka Tân and @Jack Burnett | Mentions @Victor Moore

The first to react to her presence was Dealla. Immediately worried that Victor might fall of her broom, which, sure, she had a point. Of course, Nico wouldn't take him on her broom without the right precautions. The dhampir just wanted to show and offer them another option for this predicament. It began to show that this wasn't the right course of action. The Castle wasn't THAT far but... carrying a passed out body with her thin arms. It didn't look like things would end well. She sighed softly, averting her gaze to Victors feet, aware that maybe her idea was stupid from the start...
in a flash, the brunette ran off towards what seemed a group of Professors, arriving at the ball. Just in time or maybe just too late. The Prefect recognised a few of them but didn't feel the need to flee. Why would she flee from a scene where clearly students were in need of help.

The boy kneeled down by Victor didn't give much of a peep. Nor at her, nor at the other girls. As far as Nico could tell, his expression was rather blank as he rubbed the paste on the wounds. His appearance... seemed familiar. But that would be a worry for later. Not that much time had passed until the Professor of Astronomy ran over. What a relief. When she advised them to protect and walk with Victor to the Castle, Nico nodded in agreement. It's better than to leave him unguarded. Definitely in the state he was right now.

With a simple spell, the Professor helped Victor to rise to his feet. He was still unconcious but atleast there were little to no chances that he'd trip and fall,... right? Nico nodded at the Professor, showing that she heard her loud and clear. She wouldn't leave Victors side. That's the least she could do amidst this chaos. Looking over her shoulder however, she noticed that the boy from earlier and... Jack Burnett?... were having some trouble with carrying a bag. It looked kinda heavy...

Aware that these two probably wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, Nico had to give her plan a small detour. 'You two (Dealla & Amara), go ahead with him. I'll be right behind you. Just one thing I need to do. If anything happens, give a yell.' With her Chaser skills, Nico turned her Tinderblast around and carefully hovered next to Ruka and Jack. 'Do you need some help with lifting that bag? If it's too heavy I can give it a go.' She smiled softly at them. Her nerves were more assured now that they found a safer way to guide Victor back to the Castle. The two girls next to him wouldn't be alone for too long. Nico was pretty fast on her broom.

Ability : Lovely Creature

Katrina was just done shoving the boy under the table when she heard the mosp rearing up behind her. The loud wings began a ferocious buzzing, a crescendo no 12-year-old could prepare themselves for. Katrina tried to dodge the incoming attack, turning around and jumping to the side. The movement was just a bit overzealous and one pincher dug itself into her arm. Katrina crumpled to the ground, a burning sensation flooding her arm and causing her to hold back tears as a moan of pain escaped her lips.

It hurt. Katrina had never felt this kind of pain before. The kind of pain that overwhelmed all thoughts and buried them under layers of agony. The kind of pain that left her limp and defenseless on the ground. The kind of pain that couldn't be merely put aside to deal with later. Knowing that her body crumpled on the ground would mean nothing to the angry bug. She gasped for breath moaning uncontrollably as she stood up. It was a pain far worse than any sobbing could help with.

Katrina stumbled back into the table. Hardly keeping herself upright. Her vision swam as tears filled her eyes, she brushed them away with her shoulder, her good arm cradling the hurt one. There was no chance that she could outrun the bug. There was no way she could cast a spell with her wand arm having to hold the other arm in place. She groaned again, this time in defeat.

Her eyes met the hideous, angered bug. The only way she could save herself and the boy under the table would to be to kill the mosp. She shuddered, unleashing another round of gasps from the pain it caused her arm.

Katrina didn't allow her attention to waver from the mosp. She pulled a chair from the table she had run into with her good arm, bringing it in front of her body. This was going to hurt. Katrina gritted her teeth and screamed as she used both arms and hurdled the chair at the bug as hard as she could. As soon as the chair left her grip, she crumpled to the ground again, this time sobbing for her arm, sobbing for the fact that she was going to die, and sobbing because she had no fight left in her.

This was it. Katrina was going to die here. There wasn't anyone around to protect her. There was no chance that she could defeat the bug. This was the end of her rope.

May felt intensely annoyed with Ariana when she was pulling the spell aside. <<Damn it Ariana! It's a blinding spell stupid!>> unconsciously, she hit her supposed 'friend' in the face, with all her might. She wanted to say sorry, but she could only stare at her and go running to one of the Ball hosts, that May saw was bleeding, if May had catched her name right, Lydia Cooper. Finally out of Ariana's gasp (if she had let her go, if not, then she would still be fighting the silly Gryffindor) she aimed her wand to the Mosp 9th and casted the blinding spell, again. <<Verdimillious! she shouted, glancing at Aaron Jones, a Quiddich player (and one of the Ball host) and gave him a nervous smile. Then, she runned to Lydia. <<I-I wanted to help! I-everything's going to be ok, don't move!>> May said, dropping on her knees beside the injured Hufflepuff, taking her bag where she kept her bandages and healing supplies. Since she knew that Balls weren't the best event, at Hogwarts, since so many things happen in those events, she always kept the little bag with her.

<<Oh, don't don't worry. I'm sure I'll find someone with a room somewhere...>> May looked through the pitch for help, when she spotted @Kateri Karr the Astronomy professor. <<Professor! Sh-she's hurt! Help me!>> May was begging to panick, feeling overwhelmed by so much Mosps around her...and, Oh My God, a snake! May felt about to cry of despair, but she wanted to help her fellow hurt Hufflepuff out of this injury she was having,mans most of all, get rid of all the mosps around her. Her blue eyes were pleading the Astronomy professor to help her, since she needed her so much.

Action: Help Lydia casting Verdimillious at Mosp #9 and helping her fellow Hufflepuff with her injury totally ignoring the dancing Aaron Jones and calling out to Professor Karr.
