So, you may have noticed that some people have been getting moody lately. Like everything is pissing them off, and they can very well turn on you. Well, the truth is, these woods have held more than animals and trees, and plants, and fruits, and regular woodsy stuff. An old, dark presence has lurked in the darkness, waiting for young, easily influenced minds to corrupt. To slowly take over their bodies and turn them into vessels for their agenda.

Today is the day when those corrupted reach their breaking point. No more mr nice guy. What triggers it is unknown; it may have been a simple misdirected joke, a playful shove, an unwelcome touch... All that is known is that suddenly, food is being flung at the poor sap that was just being his usual self. Suddenly, someone yells out "Food fight!" and everyone follows their example, food flying in all directions.

But the fun won't last forever. At some point, one of the corrupted will pull their wand, and things are going to get serious.

Better watch your back...

Wow. So Tavros really, really did not like conflict. Not even the fake, food fight-y kind. So when the mystery meat surprise hit the fan, he attempted to abscond the fuck out of there. As it turned out, absconding was a little hard to do when all of the exits were blocked by food flingers.

Tavros was just starting to debate the pros and cons of jumping out of a window when it happened. The first spell was fired, and then naturally more followed. If he'd thought it had hit the fan before, well apparently now it was being taken up several notches. Which is to say, oh shit oh shit oh shit what was he supposed to do? He may not have been a fighter, but he hesitantly took out his wand and while ducking, made his way towards a window. Suddenly it seemed like a good idea to jump out of one to get away from all of this.

His heart was pounding in his chest and he was shaking. This was not meant to be happening! Why was everyone taking this so far? He'd noticed that a few people had been acting off, but that didn't mean they had to start... This. It just wasn't a thing that was good at all. It was the opposite of good. it was very, very bad. And also scary.

In his quest to make it to the window, he neglected to check all directions- namely, right in front of him. So it was really no surprise when he stumbled right into someone. He gasped, taking back several steps, flying wide open. "I'm sorry!"

Vriska already had her wand out sending out Stupefys at anyone she could catch. Her mind was racing too fast for her to stop and think about what was going on and what she was doing. There was too much noise and she needed to make it stop. She was just so angry and the only thing that could make her feel better was seeing everyone else on the floor silent- like they should be.

Looking positively furious she turned to aim her wand at someone else when she was shoved into by someone. Surprised, her expression switches quickly to fury when she sees Tavros standing there like a fucking idiot. Instead of using her wand she reels back a fist and throws a punch towards his face.

Vriska's fist connected with his eye before he even realized that it was coming. Instantly, stars danced in his vision and he let out a squeal of pain as his hand shot up to cover his eye. "Ow- V-Vriska?" He sounds like he's in a lot of pain, and very confused. Vriska, one of the attackers? That didn't make sense. Yeah she'd not been the nicest of people over the last couple of days, but that didn't mean he expected her to be one of the ones fighting! "W...Why?"

She snarled, moving in again to strike at him this time with her wand. "Shut up! Shut up!" She was only aiming for another Stupefy, aggravated at his very presence before her. Why couldn't everyone just shut up?!

When he sees the spell coming at him, his first reaction is to duck. He loses his balance, falling hard onto his bottom. He lets out a pained grunt and shifts so that he can back up a little. "I-I... Please, stop! I'm sorry!" he says frantically, eyes wide with horror. All of this is just so sudden that he doesn't even know what to do. He scrambles to get his wand out of his pants to try and defend himself if it comes down to it.
