Open Spin The Bottle!

Emmanuel was surprised when the bottle landed on him. He gave a smile to Aine as she crawled to him. He gave her a little smile as if to encourage her a little. "Lips will be fine," he said, before he leaned in a little to her and let the kiss just happen. It was nice, if a little awkward. He leaned away from her afterwards and then went to the bottle. He spun it, and watched with a little laugh as it settled upon Joshua. Emmanuel didn't mind kissing boys. He approached him, and gave a little almost awkward expression. "Lips or cheek?"

Josh's eyes went wide as the bottle landed on him, as he wasn't expected to be landed on a little early on in the game. But Josh didn't mind. He smiled at Emmanuel and shrugged, feeling a little awkward himself. "Lips is fine" Josh says with a chuckle before leaning in to give the boy a kiss on the lips, gentle but quick, quick because he felt a little awkward. But he thought that the kiss was nice. He pulled away and spun the bottle. It felt like forever until it finally landed on someone. He looked up when he noticed it was a classmate of his. Which he didn't really know well. "Lips or cheek?" Josh said with a shy smile. He had never felt this shy before, and there was certainly no way of turning back now.

@Daria Bright-Root
 
As the game started, Daria wished she could sink into the ground and just disappear. Coming here had been a huge mistake. She couldn't even look as Emmanuel kissed Aine and Joshua, hands trembling hard in her lap. She hadn't even dared to look up when Joshua approached her, realising too late what had happened. Oh no. On one hand she wanted to run and hide, but on the other hand... well, he was cute, and nice, and there was nothing wrong with a little kiss. That was the whole point, after all, and she had known that when she came. She hesitated, heart racing before she answered by leaning forward, giving Joshua a quick peck on the lips. It was hardly anything, the same kind of kiss she had given her parents when she was a kid, but... well, it was done now. Her first kiss. Somehow reaching forward to spin the bottle felt easier now, the pressure taken off. Her heart did sink as the bottle landed on an older girl instead of Emmanuel, but the girl was pretty too, and she found she didn't mind as much as she had thought she would. "Um... l-lips or cheek?" She asked shyly, moving closer.

Evie watched the game intently, her heart thundering. She was startled when suddenly the bottle landed on her. She smiled shyly and leaned in as the girl did. "Lips?" She offered, before leaning in and pressing her lips hesitantly to the girls. Much to her surprise, Evie relaxed into it. It felt nice, a kind of intimacy she hadn't known. She leant a little more into it, bringing her fingers up to rest gently on Daria's jaw. The kiss lasted for several moments, before Evie drew back with a shy smile. "That was nice," She offered gently, just for the girl to hear, before falling back into her seat again. She spun the bottle, watching it move until it landed on a boy she didn't recognize. She smiled shyly and moved over to him. "Lips or cheek?" She asked, tucking some of her hair behind her ear. @Silas Broomhead
 
Penelope was nervous and giddy as she made her way to the abandoned classroom. She was aware she was a little late, but she'd had to convince herself to join the game at all. She finally decided on it, slipping into the room as quietly as she could. She took a seat, glancing over at Emmanuel. She saw Daria was kissing a Gryffindor girl, which was a slight surprise. Penelope blushed, quickly looking down. She wondered if it was too late to slip out again. For some reason, the idea that she would probably have to kiss a complete stranger hadn't occurred to her.
 
Emery kind of wanted to run out again as soon as Rāwhiti spotted him, but instead he moved over to the cushion the Gryffindor pointed to. He felt kind of embarrassed but decided he didn't need to show that. He listened quietly as Rāwhiti explained the game. Then watched him as he spun the bottle and it landed on some Hufflepuff girl. Emery felt a strange annoyance at the sight of them kissing, frowning deeply. He then looked away. Rāwhiti and his stupid ideas.
 
Silas was feeling a little antsy once the game was started. He wasn't one to be nervous, but it was just one of those milestones he hadn't had, and it would be nice to get it over with, or maybe even have something come of it. He watched as other students took their turns and barely noticed at first when the bottle landed on him. He looked up at his classmate and gave a kind smile. This didn't seem so difficult. Evie seemed a little shy about it, but Silas just watched her kiss a younger girl and felt a little confused. "Uh, lips, I guess," he said, closing his eyes as he leaned forward, his nose awkwardly bumping into his face as he felt his lips touch hers. He was no very much aware of how he had not been using chapstick as much as he should have been. Pulling away after a few moments, he smiled at the Gryffindor and sat back up, taking his time to spin the bottle and watched as it landed on another Gryffindor.

"SUIT BUDDY!" he shouted, feeling his voice fill the space. He thought Senna was cute and was definitely not opposed to kissing her, but he also hoped she was okay with it. "So, uh, you wanna kiss on the cheek or the lips?" he asked, suddenly feeling a little nervous. @Senna Overby

Senna had to admit it had been a little odd when Josh and Emmanuel had to move around her to give each other a kiss, seeing as she had been sitting inbetween them both. At the same time it had been a little funny to see her friends kiss. She had watched the game evolve and laughed when the bottle eventually landed on her, causing Silas to shout way to loud for the room they were in. "Lips is fine." She replied with a shrug before leaning forward to give him a peck on the lips. Sen shot him a friendly smile when she pulled away and returned to her seat, spinning the bottle and curiously watching it slow down and eventually land on one of the older girls. She moved up to the girl like everyone before her had done. She didn't really mind the kissing, but she had to admit having to move around the circle to someone while they were all seated was maybe a little awkward. "Your pick." She told the girl, quite sure the options were clear by now. @Isadora Novak
 
OOC: On that updated list Emery is on there twice
This game was weird, but also kind of funny. Isadora almost forgot she wasn't just here as a spectator until the bottle stopped in front of her. She blinked, looking up at the younger Gryffindor as she approached. So far, most people had done lips. Isadora wasn't going to be a coward about it. "Lips." She said decisively. The kiss was a little awkward, but not terrible. Then she spun the bottle herself, watching it spin around. To her horror, it stopped at Ngawaiata. Isadora couldn't help it, she laughed. "really?" She asked, then looked at the Slytherin. "How about it?"

@Ngawaiata Martin
 
Ngawaiata was pretty sure coming here was one of the stupider things she had ever done. But she was here now, sitting silently as her schoolmates exchanged awkward kisses. She was just considering leaving when the bottle landed on her, looking up in dismay when she saw who it was. "Great." She grumbled, glaring daggers at Isadora. "Cheek." She said firmly, not willing to have her first kiss with someone annoying. She presented her cheek for Isadora to kiss, then reached for the bottle for her own turn. A quick spin landed it on a younger boy, that weird Ravenclaw her cousin was always hanging around. He looked like he wanted to be here as much as she did, and she wondered how many people Rāwhiti had dragged along to this thing. Regardless, they were in this now. "What d'you want?" She asked dryly, moving closer.
@Emery Mettlestone
 
Emery felt a vague sense of relief when Rāwhiti's cousin told the girl to kiss her on the cheek, maybe it would be easier for him to do the same thing. It turned out to be faster than he expected, as she spun him next. Emery didn't hesitate. "Cheek." He said quickly. He wasn't going to kiss Rāwhiti's cousin on the lips, that was too weird. He quickly kissed her on the cheek, feeling weird about it. Then it was his turn to spin. With a sigh, Emery gave it a go. He spun the bottle, watching as it slowed to a stop in front of one of the Hufflepuff prefects. He looked at her uncertainly, not sure what she would want.

@Aine Thompson
 
Aine swallowed as the bottle landed on her again. This was some sort of cosmic joke, right? "Christ," she muttered, playing it off with a shrug. "If I'd known I'd be this popular..." she shook her head, shrugging at the younger boy. He seemed nice enough, a little awkward but she certainly couldn't judge anyone for that. "Either's fine," she said, quickly, seeing he'd gone for the cheek for the last kiss. Aine wasn't going to complain if it was just a cheek kiss, and if it was lips she wouldn't have done more than a quick peck anyway. Either way, it was over very quickly. When her turn came up, she felt herself kind of wishing someone like Zagreus was there, someone she might have actually liked to kiss. And mostly relief Cameron wasn't there, as no doubt the bottle would have landed on him and any kind of friendship they'd managed to establish through their patrols would be shattered in one awkward moment. But the bottle landed on @Lorenzo Vero and she gave another somewhat helpless shrug. "Uh, lips or cheek?"
 
Lorenzo had felt a little uncomfortable watching the whole game happening. He didn't know why others were fine sharing their first kiss in front of each other and why he was also expected to. Then again, he wasn't expected to, but if he left now, Tempest would never let him forget it, something he really didn't need hanging over his shoulder right now. It was easier to just participate in this expected social experience and then process it later. He was having all these thoughts until the bottle landed squarely on him, which drew Enzo's eye up to Aine. He knew of her, but he didn't think he'd ever spoken to the prefect. She was very pretty, and she had already kissed someone, which maybe meant she was more comfortable with the idea, hopefully. However, Aine didn't seem the most enthusiastic about kissing Enzo, and he felt himself start to sweat.

"Oh, well," he started, wondering if it was appropriate to give Aine a way out. But then everyone might think he didn't want to kiss Aine, which was not necessarily the case. He was just trying to be nice. "Umm, cheek is fine," he said, realizing that maybe that was a cop out and then quickly cleared his throat. "I mean, lips. Lips work, too," he said, leaning forward quickly to give Aine a kiss that was not really square on the lips and kind of encompassed the side of her mouth onto her cheek. He leaned back and looked at the floor, feeling more embarassment than he'd ever felt in his life. Lorenzo relucatantly spun the bottle, glancing up at Aine as he tried to give her an apologetic smile, but he had a feeling it just came off as creepy. As he looked back down, his eyes followed the bottle as it landed on another fifth year, and based on all his past and present experiences, it somehow seemed like he had a destiny with blondes. He looked up at @Kiara Thompson and rubbed his shoulder nervously. "Er, kiss? Or, I mean, lips or cheek?" he asked, completely fumbling this whole experience.
 
Wish could only find the prospect of playing spin the bottle to be completely terrifying and had spent a significant amount of time pacing the corridors and arguing with herself about attending. She eventually settled on frustration at her potential regret for not going, just in case she has some social epiphany that made her suddenly cease to be a loner for the rest of her Hogwarts years. She highly doubted this, but lying to herself about it had gotten her through the door. The game was already underway and Wish quietly slotted herself into a spot and hoped the bottle wouldn't land on her.

Kiara was seriously doubting why she had even come while she watched the game unfold. Perhaps she had overestimated herself by thinking she would be completely fine with it. But she was here now and she was sat next to one of her friends, which meant leaving was out of the question. She tried to keep her cool when the bottle landed on her and tried her best to act as nonchalantly as she could. Which was difficult. In fear of stumbling over her words Kiara answered his question by giving the boy a peck on his lips before moving back and quickly focussing her attention on spinning the bottle. Anything to keep her mind from making her overthink this whole game. She spun the bottle and watched as it landed on another younger boy. "Uh, lips or cheek..?" @Michael Watson
 
Michael had been a little nervous watching the game play out, seeing other people kiss. He knew it would be a bit awkward if it landed on him but he did kind of hope it did. He wasn't sure if he knew how to kiss properly but it didn't have to be like a real full on kiss, right? He'd hopefully get to have one of those in time but for now he watched and waited. Eventually, the bottle landed on him, and he was pleased to see that it was Kiara - he didn't know the older girl very well, but he recognized her of course as a Ravenclaw prefect. It helped that she was really pretty. "Lips," he blurted a little too quickly, before hesitating a second. "Uh, if that's okay with you," he added, not wanting to sound rude or make her uncomfortable. His mother would've had stern words with him. It was short but sweet, and Michael was a little dazed for a second before he spun the bottle, landing on @Wisteria Lacewing who he hadn't seen earlier but realized she had probably come in later. She was cute, although seemed nervous, like she might run away at any second. "Lips or cheek?" he asked, careful not to approach her too quickly lest she disappear.

((i am so sorry for immediately dropping you in this))
 
Wish's inability to turn invisible and apparate away on the spot had suddenly become very inconvenient as the bottle landed on her. She'd seen Michael play quidditch before, but didn't really know him. She froze for a second as he asked his question. The people she'd seen since she got there had all chosen lips, and Wish didn't want look like a coward in front of everyone, or even offend Michael by picking something different. She went to the Forbidden Forest every week, kissing a boy should be nothing in comparison. "Um, lips?" she phrased it like a question even as she leaned forward. Wish could feel her face burning and heart pounding, and was almost too stunned to remember it was her turn to spin the bottle. She clumsily spun it and watched nervously as it landed on @Penelope Marshall. "Lips, or um, cheek?" she asked, her eyes flickering between Penelope and the bottle as she tried to remain composed and quell the panicked ringing in her ears.
 
so sorry for disappearing

Penelope was shocked when the bottle landed on her. She looked at the girl who had spun it, a Slytherin from her year. She hesitated for a moment, then chickened out. "Um, cheek?" She asked, as she suddenly felt strange about getting her first kiss from someone she had never spoken to. She gave the girl an apologetic smile as she moved to kiss her on the cheek. Then, Penny spun the bottle again. It landed on Veronique, her roommate. Penelope hesitated. "Do you mind if it's cheek again?" She asked the other Hufflepuff, feeling vaguely embarrassed about how scared she was.

@Veronique Chatelain
 
Veronique was surprised to see the bottle land on her again and was glad when Penelope asked to just do a cheek kiss, as she felt it would be kind of weird to kiss her roommate. She agreed and gave her roommate a quick peck on the cheek and a smile, hoping that it wasn't weird or anything. Spinning the bottle again, she watched as it landed on one of the only other people she thought hadn't participated in the kissing and tried to smile. She knew Blanche from class but was pretty sure she had never spoken to her in their time in school, which was the case for quite a few people. "Kiss or lips? I mean, cheek or lips, oops," she giggled. @Blanche Broomhead
