#urhq:plotdrop

[unriddledhq-blog]

From the looks of it, the Halloween party was becoming quite a success. With the spiked punch, loud music, non-stop dancing and not to mention, the three gossip ghosts floating around the Great Hall forcing people into back-to-back rounds of truth or dare, there was no shortage of secrets being spilt and students being forced out of their comfort zone. In short, not only were the students having a lot of fun, there was quite a lot of teen drama happening at the event as well.

But in the midst of it all, something changed. From seemingly nonexistent spaces, all of a sudden, several boggarts began to make an appearance, taking the form of the fears of the students they first saw. For a short while, not many people noticed the new arrivals, as it took on appearances of other people or forms which wouldn’t cause widespread panic. Slowly but steadily, it began to get so much worse. There were basilisks and acromantulas, vampires and banshees in the midst of the Great Hall. From dark corners, from the carved pumpkins and under the tables, the boggarts kept coming and coming. Even with the professors around, the sheer number of them had made the situation go out of control, and now the students had no choice but to face their worst fears.

Will they realize that they were merely boggarts taking form of their fear and work to destroy the non-beings? Or will they let the fear consume them completely?

What? A menacing twist to the Halloween Happening!

When? In character it is set on the night of Halloween, towards the very end of the party. Out of character, it will last two days, so until 1 PM EST on Tuesday, 26th of September  after which you cannot post new starters for the plotdrop. But please free to continue any event related posts if need be!

How? Please use the tag urhq:plotdrop2 to post starters and tag threads as well. Please do not use the tag urhq:plotdrop as it needs to stay clean. This is basically an addition to our existing event and therefore, a dash event only. Feel free to use group chats if you like and then post the chats onto your blog so everyone can be kept in the loop about what has been happening.

Who? All attendees of the Halloween Happening can get involved in this plotdrop as you see fit for your character. You may choose for your character to leave the party early if they’d rather not be involved.

Cause of the Chaos: Dolena Greengrass, Elijah Parkinson, Alecto Carrow + 2 open slots! (If your character would like to be involved in planning this mini-disaster, please message the admins. There’s a catch that they should be able to get along with Dolena IC as she is the one who came up with this elaborate prank!)

Our thanks to Siera for this wonderful plot idea which we think is just perfect for Halloween!

The screaming didn’t stop. The party had suddenly turned into a warzone. Students were running in every direction, not caring where they were going, their only intention was to get as far away from the lake as possible. Some rushed straight to their dorms while others went to find the Headmaster and the professors to alert them of what had happened.  Murder within the school grounds wasn’t something anyone had expected during what had been a secret party to celebrate their new school year.

The news spread like wild fire that night and the next morning, the happy smiles and excitement was gone from the faces of the students, only to be replaced by terror and confusion. Quiet whispers about how some may be safer because of their blood status began to spread. Maybe it was only the muggleborns who had to be worried. Maybe the others were safe. But whatever people said to make themselves feel safer didn’t matter. Because ultimately, Hogwarts wasn’t the safe haven that it used to be anymore. The dead body of Tristan Lakewood was proof of that.

But fear is not all you get from a murder. Some find it interesting, with all the twisted secrets hidden within the meaning of such a cruel act. In particular, a small group of students was intrigued by this all. What was the meaning behind Tristan’s last words? Why do it now? Why him? Those were all questions they wouldn’t let slip so easily. But with uncovering the truth, comes uncovering other secrets, from juicy to dark, nothing was getting past them now.

This is a wrap on both the Black Lake Party Event and the Black Lake Murder Plot Drop! Of course, you are free to continue your threads or include the events that happened in your interactions, but no more event or plot drop starters should be made. We hope you enjoyed our opening event, and remember: Beware, Muggleborns. And to all of you, watch your backs!

High spirits, laughter, music, dancing and a whole lot of drunk students: The Black Lake Party was one most would call a tremendous success. It was well past midnight when the excitement slowly started to die down and the tired students were considering getting back to their dorms. But the hosts hadn’t planned just enjoyment for the attendees of the evening's event. Oh no. They had something very different and terrible in store for them. 

The night was getting quiet but it didn’t stay that way for long. A loud piercing scream echoed through the place, quickly followed by several more as they saw a looming figure float a few feet over the surface of the black lake. The students who were swimming hurried out of the lake and onto the shore in panic as the dead body of Tristan Lakewood, a muggleborn Ravenclaw boy, hung in the air, finally visible through the mist. Fresh blood was still dripping from the wounds in his body, his lifeless eyes staring up at the sky. Suddenly, he jerked which led to the students closest scream collectively, and for a second he seemed alive again but not really. "Beware Mudbloods" he uttered in an eerie, high pitched voice before going still once more. But from that moment on, he was the only quiet thing by the lakeside. Everything else had turned absolutely chaotic.

What? A sinister twist to the Black Lake Party!
