annette laughed, apologizing to the disgruntled party-goer for her cousin, “she really is sorry—-” she managed to get out before they left. “more for us, then!”
“I am!!,” she called after the retreating figure before dropping her voice. “I’m sorry that they’re so tragic,” Pippa dramatized, giving her cousin a playful nudge. “Grab some flutes and let’s head back up on the deck??”
oscar wasn’t watching where he was going, but suddenly, he was hit by something. the champagne cork bounced on the floor. oscar stared at it for a moment before laughing. he was practically half drunk already. “ that’s exactly why i’m laughing. “ he grinned.
Pippa perked up, glad she had landed into a conversation with someone that had a sense of humor. “It’s not exactly Cupid’s arrow, but it’s an attention getter,” she mused and held out the bottle, “so is that a yes?”
“Damn—tryin’ to kill me er somethin— ” Ethan teased, side stepping away from the champagne cork that had narrowly missed the area just above rib cage. He flashed the pretty brunette beside him a lopsided grin. “Lucky, I don’t scare that easily.”
“Death by champagne cork -- what a way to go,” she laughed. Pippa aimed a smile ( an equal mix curious and apologetic ) his way to match. “I would certainly hope not if you’re thinking about entering the competition. Are you?”
A champagne cork whizzed by his left arm, causing Logan to chuckle as he glanced over at who had made that happen, giving a friendly smile all the while. “It’s all good and I’ll do my best to change my mood into a lighter one,” he promised in his usual polite tone.
Pippa flashed a smile and poured a glass before extending it out to the other. "A peace offering," she joked and gave a small shrug of the shoulders. "I'll do my best to be more careful, as well. The night's still young, and there's plenty of fun to still be had.
Beckham whirled around as he heard something zoom past his shoulder, to find a girl offering a drink. “I’m – I’m looking for a cat –”
As if that was an excuse not to take it. However, he was on a mission, even if it was a little bit silly to continue for the rest of the night with how tired he was. “You don’t happen to know your way around Maladh, do you?”
Pippa quirked a brow and passed off the bubbly to another bystander. “I think the pier, as bustling as it is, would be a bit much for the skittishly inclined, unless yours is particularly curious? What kind of cat is it?” Pippa was decently versed in the facets of feline personalities thanks to a certain cousin, with artistry in escaping being one of them. “I don’t, but it shouldn’t be too hard to navigate.”
Giggles bubbled to the surface like the freshly opened champagne. “Merlin, at least someone said it. I could really do without these grumpy buzzkills. Like, no one is forcing them to be here, right? They all could afford to live a little.”
“It’s one thing to be insufferable at something school sanctioned, but on a yacht? It’s a crime. Where are all of the fun friends that clearly dragged them here, only to simultaneously abandon them in one common area? Let’s go find them, shall we? and CHEERS to having a personality!!”
Pippa found herself in an apathetic haze ( not one of her own design ) but the POP!! of a champagne cork whizzing close to another bystander finally sparked a reaction. “Did it hit you?? No?? Take a glass or take the portkey —- either way, it’s a party, not a funeral.”
hello!! I’m rian, one of the admins, and I’m so excited!! oookay this is long and scatterbrained, but it’s hard to capture everything about this trash queen?? here’s a post that I’d read, and more under the cut. This will be longer than my other intros, but I’d love to get some plots going!!
Rose garden full of thorns.
Happy is a complicated word for Pippa, and the one that slips most easily in its spot is fun. Pippa Atherton is fun; a bright hurricane of a girl. She is bright smiles and the exciting pop! of champagne corks. She is a bruise left on a long neck by soft lips, demurely hidden by scarves in winter. She’s a taunting pink lip stick print and daring, mischievous eyes. Pippa is a glittering facade of many things, but true happiness is not one of them. She is happy enough, but she excels at being fun.
Okay so on her father’s side, Pippa is basically American Pureblood royalty. She’s a Graves and an Atherton on that side, and her mother is related to Annette and Aurora’s fathers, so she definitely could have crossed paths with some of the Weasley and Potters through Annette.
Anyone that signed their name as P. Graves was bound to leave an impact, but the usual choice was not a sparkling, midnight ink. The Graves are touted as a powerful family in both connections and skills, and Pippa is no different. Her exceptional dueling prowess was encouraged from a young age. It flourished into a love of fencing, in which Pippa is internationally ranked. She may or may not be known to enchant a suit of armor to spar with her when intoxicated.
The Athertons are basically american pureblood royalty, and she is distantly related to this dude and they are at the forefront of wizarding technology and magical engineering.
Pippa is very smart, but is quite lazy and is simply not interested in the family business, nor a position in MACUSA which she has been groomed for. She's not the biggest fan of effort, unless she channels it into something else.
Okay here are a few bullet points!!
Her patronus is a shark and she’s !!!! REALLY excited to be at Atlantis // The Palm
She travels like, all the time. She might even “accidentally” floo herself to Paris on a whim to meet up with some people for some good, old fashioned debauchery. except everyone knows it’s not an accident but she gives no fucks?
Pippa is SUPER charismatic but she presents herself in such a way of making people think they know a lot about her but they really don’t???
She had a creepy situation with a teacher when she was fifteen and it has left her scarred and a little guarded, and it’s a large reason why she has a glittery facade.
Here’s a small blurb about the teacher, but age gap tw,
it wasn’t common knowledge how cupid’s arrow stabbed and splintered as it broke skin and broke her heart. it wasn’t common knowledge how she clutched it to her chest while he clutched her to his. they didn’t know how much it bled when she plucked the arrow from her body, and how much it took to snap it over her knee. they didn’t know that deep splinters were still working their way to the surface, and how long she picked herself apart to find them and to find answers. she didn’t know that it was more than stolen glances in a room full of people and the thrill of a first love. she hadn’t known it would lead to crying on the bathroom floor, feeling worthless as she applied another coat of lipstick for him to smear. feeling violated and alone, and how it hurt so goddamn much when he ripped her heart out when it all turned out to be a lie.

the corner of his mouth curled upwards, lips twitching into a smile, “uh, technically, i think, swimming with the sharks isn’t something the school condones.”
Pippa’s eyes flicked from the aquarium back to the Maladh student, a small smirk rivaling his smile, “but The Palm does, right??”
