moon sleepover

✘ CLOSED STARTER— @msumabel​

Birds of a feather flock together. The saying couldn’t be more true for the freshmen pair. Upon meeting, the two had immediately hit things off. Being so similar to one another, getting along was just that simple. Not to mention their surname being Moon, it was a common trend within the first week of classes for Malia to come right after Mabel. Furthermore, they’d both managed to land spots on the cheer team, bringing them even closer when considering how much time they spent together in a single school week. 

“Sooo, is there anyone you think is cute?” Malia asked the other with a giggle. She’d never grown up with many friends outside of those she’d met through her brother. Therefore, the girl had never been able to experience sleepovers until now. And taking advantage of their empty dorms, Malia and Mabel seemed to take turns sleeping over in each other’s room. Furthermore, talking to her brother about these kinds of things was always a bit weird since he was so protective over her. It was nice to finally talk about such silly things without any feeling of discomfort. And with Mabel, knew she could talk about anything and everything without judgement. In return, Malia was the same. 

in all mabel’s years at hogwarts she’d never found people quite like the new friends she’d made upon arriving at mokseong. malia, yeonhee and haeun had immediately seemed to fit with mabel like puzzle pieces. they’d gone from strangers, to thick at thieves. malia had been mabel’s first friend upon arriving, thanks to their surnames being the same it’d felt only right to talk to each other. turns out moons are pretty similar. 

so, when the idea of a sleepover had been proposed mabel had jumped at it. she’d had sleepovers when she was younger, but having lived in a dorm room with other girls for seven years had taken some of the fun out of sleeping in the same room as other people. but, now that mabel had her own space, for the most part, and she and malia didn’t spend every second of the day together, having a sleepover seemed like the most exciting idea anyone could suggest.

✘ CLOSED STARTER — @msumabel·

Malia was actually quite nervous to be out and about this Halloween. She’d never actually done anything like this. Sure, as a child, she would dress up and Nate would be forced to go trick-or-treating with her. But she’d never been to a party like this. Honestly, she was a bit nervous being dressed up in front of so many people. There was an array of costumes and the girl felt like she stood out a bit in the pink costume she’d purchased online just a few weeks prior. She was comfortable, though, and that’s what mattered most. Furthermore, she was spending the night with one of her best friends, so Malia was sure that she’d have fun no matter what.

“Mabel! Check out what I got!” She gushed to the other, playfully swishing around her small, bottle of fluid for her friend to see. “I picked up this potion earlier!  The person manning the stand said it would help with my nerves. Do you really think it’ll work?”

mabel had grown up with halloween. her entire family would decorate their house and the land around it and invite local kids to their ‘haunted house’ which only has a touch of real magic to make it just a little spookier. mabel loves it, remembering those years she celebrated at home when she was a kid fondly. of course, as she got older and her and her siblings went off to school she couldn’t share in the halloween fun back home anymore.

msukangdae·:

location: pumpkin patch w. @msumabel·

kangdae had lost track of his friends again. ( well more like he had got bored just standing there and drinking, and instead found himself walking off, per usual ) but he quickly found stimulation elsewhere — the elsewhere being the pumpkin patch the school had set up.  

laughter could be heard as students huddle together, creating various craved grouds, some pretty, some terrifying, nonetheless he found himself drawn to the noise, squeezing his way through the groups he found a spot beside a winged individual. 

oh! he recognized the costume, tinkerbell! from that one disney movie. “hey tink! nice wings! can you sprinkle some fairy dust on me?” he said, as he smiles brightly, before realizing it was mabel from the herbology club, “ oh mabel! are you here alone?”

mabel has always been very good at carving pumpkins, so of course, her first activity of the night is to carve herself a beautiful pumpkin and set it up outside her dorm room. she’d ideally like to have it float after her all night but thinking about the risks of possibly blowing it up and ending up covered in pumpkin bits didn’t sound all that appealing to her. so, dorm decoration it would have to be. 

she had hoped her friends would join her, but none of them seemed to want to start the night with their hands shoved into lots of gold pumpkin guts, so she’d said she’d catch up with them later, and decided to get it done herself, on her own. she’s halfway through caring a spooky pirate ship into her pumpkin when her attention’s caught by a voice from the person beside her. 

kangdae. a handsome older man she’d seen around the halls since she arrived. he made herbology club a lot harder to focus in, to say the least, and not because he was disruptive or anything, no. mabel just could never stop sneaking glances at him. “oh- hi kangdae!” she replies with a bright, albeit slightly shy smile. “yeah, my friends didn’t want to yank out pumpkin guts with me, can you believe it?!”

msuxander·:

with @msumabel· at the haunted house | msumausoleum

despite being well-versed with potions, xander truly has no idea on what the vial he’s chosen from the dungeon earlier contains. if anything, he’s sure that the worst he could get is a truth telling potion. even then, if he figures out that’s what he’s drank, it’ll be easy to hide away from everywhere until the potion wears off. professor jung had said the potion’s effects would last for only an hour at most and an hour of hiding wasn’t much to sacrifice over xander’s privacy.

without as much as a second thought, xander uncorks the small vial and tosses the liquid content into the back of his throat. there’s barely a taste at all and he simply wonders if he might grow a third eye. the probability of it seems incredibly unlikely though considering that professor jung doesn’t tolerate pranks or jokes so he’s sure he doesn’t have to worry about it much.

nothing seems to be happening and xander begins to wonder if the side-effects are meant to kick in later. he’s sure he’ll most likely forget about it until it hits him so he simply turns to head towards the dungeons where some partygoers are already hanging out when he spots mabel walking in his direction.

aside from the fact that xander frequently tutors her, considering that the young suseong freshman has a knack for making things explode, she’s one individual that xander goes out of his way to not hurt. seeing as she’s dear to cass, xander makes a conscious effort to make sure that the girl can be comfortable studying in his presence - at the least - during their meetings for the sake of maintaining his relationship with cass.

although a cheerful and bright witch, xander has never done much to really initiate extending their relationship past tutor and tutee. however, for some reason when he sees her in that moment, something blooms in him and he’s nothing but ecstatic as he suddenly realizes that she is his best friend. upon this realization, he immediately breaks out into one of the biggest smiles ever. an extremely rare sight that even his close friends now and family haven’t witnessed before.

“mabel! i feel like i haven’t seen you in years.” xander calls out cheerfully as he jogs up to her. she looks absolutely adorable in her tinkerbell costume and he can’t resist pulling her into a tight hug. the girl is petite and fits snugly against his toned frame, one arm wrapped around her shoulders and the other cradling her head against his chest while he rests his chin on top.

it’s only for a brief second though before he pulls back and realizes how exposing the innocent girl’s costume really is. immediately, he slips off his black-rose suit jacket and wraps it around her shoulders to protect her from any potential unwanted attention. as her best friend, it was really the least he could do without making her feel self-conscious even though she looked great.

“it’s a little chilly out.” xander simply states with a delicate smile before returning his gaze on her after scanning the area. “so, where were you headed tink?”

mabel had lost her friends. they were all together at the beginning of the night, but somehow, after mabel’s pumpkin carving disaster at the start of the night with kangdae, she’d come to find herself alone and wandering through the grounds, watching people in costumes have fun with their friends while desperately looking out for a familiar face for her to latch onto. they can’t have gone that far, she thinks, she’d bee at the pumpkin carving station for ages, but they wouldn’t just leave her... right? she frowns. they most likely did leave her, and she really shouldn’t be all that surprised. 

she’s just about to try and message one of them when a voice calling her name catches her attention and she looks up, peering around herself for the source of the excited calling. the last person she’s expecting to see, xander, strides up, and before she can even greet him back, she’s being pulled into a hug. a shiver, followed by a blanket of tingles courses through her. a warmth spreads in her chest and before she knows it she’s beaming up at him, the hug too short for her slow brain to catch up and respond to, before it’s over. 

never before in her entire life has a boy given her his jacket. something about the chivalry of it all makes her heart pound and her cheeks flush as pink as her hair usually is when not charmed into it’s current long blonde state. she’s stunned, really, wondering if perhaps xanders drunk. he’s never before been even close to nice to her, let alone treat her like this, as if they’re actual friends. maybe she’s made a breakthrough, and he’s finally decided to like her instead of simply tolerate her. she knows he was only doing it for cass’s benefit. 

“i- uh... well, the haunted house is just over there, i thought i might take a peek.” she says, gesturing in the direction of a little signpost pointing people towards the haunted house set up in the gym.

she’s just left natty and had intended to go and grab a snack, realising she’d not eaten in quite a while, she realises she has no idea where snacks even are. stopping at the edge of the area reserved for movie-watchers, mabel tugs xander’s jacket tighter around her shoulders. she frowns down at it, the sight leaving a nasty taste in her mouth. this night has already been an odd mixture of good, and bad memories, and mabel’s not entirely sure whether it was a hit of miss event for her. 

as she looks around she begins walking again, but as she’s squinting over to one side of her she bumps into someone and gives a soft exclamation of surprise. looking up at the person she recognises her as kirby, a beautiful girl she’d seen on the volleyball courts when she’d accompanied malia a few times to watch the guys team, so malia could ogle claude. mabel has asked around as to what the ‘pretty girl with the cat eyes’ was called–but she’d never spoken to her. something about kirby sort of scared mabel; she was just too cool for a girl like mabel to talk to. 

starter for @msunatty !

she’s never been an avid fan of scary movies, so thankfully the ones playing at the event weren’t too gory or anything–she’d likely throw up if they were showing things with lots of blood and guts. the night so far had not been a particularly pleasant one, to say the least. having cried twice already she’s thanking her past self for deciding her super waterproof makeup was the way to go. otherwise, she’d be a panda tinkerbell by now. 

she’s alone, as she’d departed from bullies and boys for a bit, needing to take a breather and collect herself before returning to the event. she thinks she doesn’t look too much like she’s been crying, so she wanders through the groups of people sat watching the movie, wrapped in blankets and munching on their snacks, when she spots natty, sitting alone a few feet away. 

msuxelodie·:

“oh– god.” an unoccupied elodie is never a good thing. a bored elodie is dangerous and she’s been left unoccupied for only a few minutes. 

but really, that’s all it takes. 

“what is this?” she’s referring to the other girl’s costume, ogling her with no shame and a hint of disgust. the freshman were just getting bolder and bolder. not that she was one to talk with her bright red playboy bunny costume, a walking sex symbol. 

though, she was fully aware that she was being an absolute hypocrite, but she didn’t really care. “who do you think you’re going to impress with your tits out like that?” it’s posed as an innocent question, but it’s anything but. most people knew elodie’s disposition and habits of picking by now.

 “you look a little desperate, sweetheart..” she snorts, arms crossed over her chest. 

@msumabel

mabel had thought, up until this point, that she looked nice. well, wasn’t she sorely mistaken. she’s caught off guard when elodie appears, seemingly out of thin air. she manages to always show up when mabel least needs her around–though she never needs elodie around. every time she runs into elodie, she leaves the situation crying, or almost crying, wondering why she couldn’t just stand up to her. 

she doubts tonight will be any different. she’s a little stunned at the question elodie poses to her, but realises she’s sort of right–who is mabel trying to impress? she’d not realised until a little way into the night that her costume was rather more revealing than she’d thought, the deeply cut front of the dress threatening to let everything fall out at any second. elodie’s right.

starter for @msutaeyeon !

mabel’s been carving pumpkins her whole life! she’s a pro at it. or she was until she ended up beside kangdae earlier, and accidentally ruined her pumpkin design by cutting out a big bit she wasn’t meant to cut out. things always tend to go wrong for mabel, especially around cute boys. though it’s irritating, she’s used to it by now. so, having ruined her first pumpkin, and wanting to have a nice one she could stick outside her dorm door for the night, she’d asked taeyeon to accompany her to carve another. 

“do i carve a cat into it? or this funky looking ghost?” she asks, flipping through some of the designs in the little booklets scattered around the carving station. she’d chosen a decently sized pumpkin, and was already elbow deep in it, yanking out it’s innards and dropping them into a bucket near her feet. she wonders whether they’ll take the pumpkin guts to the kitchen later to use for pumpkin pie and pumpkin juice and pumpkin muffins and- well, you get the idea. she’s rather craving pumpkin pie now.

"uuuuh...” envy isn’t something mabel feels a lot, she realises. “maybe people’s ability to not blow things up all the time?” it is the thing she agonises over the most, she thinks. “i’d rather all magic i did was just mediocre than some of it being really good, and some being awful.” but then she remembers something else she could say she’s envious of. “also people’s ability to get boyfriends! i want one!”

msukevin·:

✘ CLOSED STARTER — @msumabel·

It was happening again. Someone or something was leaving candies on his desk again. Kevin could recall the same instances occurring back in his days at Hogwarts, too. Coincidentally, it always happened in classes that he had with miss. Mabel Moon. It was a shame that she always seemed just as concerned over it as he did. Looking back at it now, her face always went a bit red when he’d ask her about it. Eventually he thought that just bringing it up was scaring her, so he just allowed the gifts to keep coming. To this day, neither of them ever got answers as to what was going on— but Kevin never said no to some free candy. 

“Thanks boys.” He’d eventually begun to believe that this was another prank from the bros and felt it was only right to thank them accordingly. 

Unwrapping the candy, the boy ate it immediately, enjoying it with a playful grin. Then, just as he began to into his seat, Kevin looked over to notice a familiar face. 

“Mabel!” He exclaimed, sitting upright like a pup who had just found their fellow pupper-pal after a long walk. “What a coincidence! I was just thinking of you!” Kevin grinned, resting his elbow on her desk as he spoke. Just as he did so, the wizard noticed a few pieces of candy similar to the one he’d just ate, gasping. “Yo, I was just eating the same exact candy! Small world. So they boys left you a treat too? Man, we’re lucky to have them, huh?” 

mabel’s not good at being brave, at least not usually. she’s afraid of many things, and nervous about a whole bunch more. sure, she can stand up for her friends, or people who are being wronged, when she has to, but she can’t stand up for herself, or take risks for herself–it’s just too scary, she claims. which is why, for years now, mabel’s been leaving candy, and sometimes flowers, along with sweet little notes on kevin’s desk secretly. she thinks she must be very lucky that he’s not even tried to figure out who leaves them, since she’s never very subtle. often she’ll be eating the same candy she left for him throughout the class, or have one of the same kinds of flowers she left on his desk tucked into her hair. 

today is no different. she’d left a piece of candy, and a little note saying his hair looked nice today, since she’d seen him in the corridor that morning and had noticed it looked especially soft. again, he’d not seemed to notice it was her who’d left it, though a part of her sort of hoped he might, to save her possibly having to build up the courage to confess one day. she watches him eat it, thanking ‘the boys’ as he’d begun doing at some point–mabel can’t remember how long he’d been thanking ‘the boys’ for, but she guessed it was a good cover for her. 

she’s not expecting the sudden shout of her name, and kevin’s confession of having been thinking about her. her cheeks flush, wondering what he was thinking that had to do with her, and whether it was a thought in her favour or not. “you were?” she asks, her voice slightly smaller than usual. butterflies flap around almost violently in her tummy as she looks at him with a sparkle in her eye. “the boys..?” glancing down at the candy on her desk she takes a second to respond, still thinking about him having been thinking about her, before she laughs lightly. “oh yeah, the boys! uh... we sure are!” 

helllooooo! it’s me, nine back with my second muse, mabel! she’s a suseong freshman, majoring in herbology and minoring in magical creatures. the best way to get an idea of what she’s like is to imagine a mixture of neville, seamus and luna, all rolled up into one chaotic little botanist. spells, and often potions, don’t tend to go too well for mabel, and it’s not unheard of to spot her with slightly singed, frizzy hair. she’s very sweet, though, and incredibly passionate, although not too ambitious. she’s on the cheerleading team, and is a member of the herbology club, magical creatures club and divination club.
