Who: Antigone Kaligaris and OPEN
What: Antigone attempts to unwind after studying.
When: Friday evening
Where: The atrium
Rating: Worksafe

Okay, this was it. Antigone knew she was pushing herself too hard and needed a break. Putting her Necromancy notes away, she sat back in her seat and let out a sigh. It was nice to have a room to herself, but on the flip side, her dormmates were usually the ones who prevented her from studying too much. It was a lot easier to overwork yourself when there was no one to stop you, and Antigone was determined more than ever to do well on her exams this year. After all, she hadn't made it this far to screw things up.

Picking up her purse, she headed down to the atrium to relax and have a quick smoke. Or two. Antigone tended to only smoke when she was stressed, and she had a feeling she was going to be lighting up a lot this year. It wasn't the best of habits, but it worked for her. She could wait until after final exams to quit.

Just being in the atrium made her feel a little less wound up. There was no one else around, which was more than fine with her. It was nice to just sit there alone and doing nothing, she thought as she lit a cigarette. Doing nothing was a luxury for her these days.

It is my greatest pleasure to announce that the following students have been accepted into the prestigious eighth year at the Durmstrang Institute:

Who:Misha Vladimirovich & Antigone Kaligaris
What: Misha chills with Antigone, possibly jamming
When: Backdated to Sunday the 24th
Where: Light path Common room first and then who knows!
Rating: PGish?

Misha was actually rather eager to spend time with Antigone again. He'd liked the girl, and the fact she played guitar like him was major bonus. He left Sasha to talk to his roommate and headed back to the Light Path Common room to meet Antigone. While he waited, he settled down and starting picking out an old Ukrainian folk tune on his guitar. He began humming along, not quite singing the words as he waited for his music partner to arrive.

Who: Misha & Sasha Vladimirovich and Antigone Kaligaris
What: Have an impromptu jam session on guitars
When: January 12th, after dinner.
Where: An empty classroom

Misha had barely kept his fingers off his new guitar since he'd received it. It was his favorite gift from Sasha, obviously, and he treated it like the prize it was. He'd left it secreted in his room during classes and dinner, but the second he was free, he went to get it, preparing to meet Antigone Kaligaris and have an impromptu music session.

He didn't know the girl much besides her name and path. She was Greek, which put her at the bottom of the barrel, and someone a Ukrainian shouldn't associate with. But Misha didn't know anyone else who played guitar, and he didn't dwell on her nationality. Instead, he sat in an empty classroom, picking out the first few strains of an old Russian folk song before playing it loudly and cheerfully. If Antigone didn't know which classroom he was in, it wouldn't be hard to follow the music and find him. Next to him Sasha sat, listening to him play.

Who: All Light Path students and staff who wish to attend, plus any invited guests.
What: Light Path party, yo.
Where: The Ballroom.
When: 11PM to 4 AM, Friday December 12th/Saturday December 13th.

The Durmstrang ballroom had once again been magically transformed into a stunningly decorated hall. Headmistress Eberhardt cast a spell on its doors and on every entrance in. No student or staff member who wasn't invited could enter the room. It didn't matter what spell a clever student tried to cast, by what method they tried to circumvent the spell, there would be no way in without an invitation.

The dance floor was open and clear, and there was food set up for students who would undoubtedly grow hungry before the party's end. Any dish student wanted would appear, just like in the dining hall. The doors opened precisely at eleven PM, but would only admitted those who belonged there. As the party got under way, music filled the rooms as the night's guests showed up.

[OOC: Okay, so again the people who can attend are: Headmistress Eberhardt, Mykhailo Bohdan, Wolfric Faust, Roffe Nordlund, Ivan Baikov, Antigone Kaligaris, Misha Vladimirovich, Taavi Suullinen, Katarina Yurkovic, Kristof Yurkovic, Szabina Varga, Hryhoriy Oleksienko, Vasili Boriesnko, Sasha Vladimirovich, Dahlia Kiesl. If anyone else wants to attend, feel free to come up with a way they got invited (NPC, sibling, friend, etc) and join in].

EDIT: And the punch may or may not will be spiked with alcohol. Drinker beware.
