October 18, 2025 Because of her job at Honeydukes, Kaylee wasn't really available to assist with—or partake in—the Zombie Island activities, but everything that she had heard her classmates saying about it made it sound really cool. While it seemed as though half the school was off in the Hebrides nightly, she had been trying to balance her schoolwork for her final year and working as a cashier when she wasn't in class. It was a bit of a drag, but Kaylee felt lucky that she had been permitted to have a job in Hogsmeade as a student at all.
There was one silver lining to the timing of the event, however: Kaylee's eighteenth birthday, which happened to fall on a Saturday that year. She also wasn't scheduled at Honeydukes, so of course she decided that she, too, would check out Zombie Island. After changing out of her school robes and into a casual sweater and jeans, she met up with the other students taking the Portkey and—in no time at all—reached the center of all of the activity.
There was so much to do and see, and she got to enjoy it without the stress of working during it all. She just didn't know where to begin.
OOC: OPEN!

Hearing about this "Zombie Island" that the wizards had created, brought a curious side to Fiona. The druids were aloud to go, and so she felt like she should go and check it out. She didn't anticipate that it would fit her tastes, but she had a good way to make things interesting. With a special treat hidden in her pockets, she doned a hand made autumn crown, and was off. A sly smile on her face. The girl landed on Zombie Island, not sure how long she would stay. A fellow druid looked at the crowned girl with suspicious eyes, and the girl only smiled. She was sure that he knew that she was up to something, but he couldn't prove it, and knew the girl would only deny it. She was, in fact, one of the mischievous Gemini twins. They had been making trouble and having fun for such a long time. But Fiona was the "good" twin. She wouldn't be caught doing something mischievous. Not if she was careful, that was. "Have fun" She spoke her natural tongue, and waived at the man.
She wanted to see what the place had in store. The girl started to take a look around. She saw treats, a corn maze, and a haunted forest. The idea of a forest was great, but she felt bad thinking about what poor thing may be in there. As she walked, she accidentally bumped into a girl. "Sorry about that" She said as she backed away.

October 18, 2025 There was so much to do on "Zombie Island" that Kaylee was amazed she had been able to stay away from the festivities for so long. It was far beyond the usual sort of "fall carnival" sort of thing. They weren't going to be bobbing for apples or anything like that—not that Kaylee could tell—but there was plenty more than that. She honestly couldn't believe that her fellow students were primarily the ones in charge of the event, because it did look really professional. The one thing that she could say was that she probably wouldn't be looking for any candy while she was there. Working at Honeydukes had kind of turned her off of it.
Everything else, though, was fair game. She had only been walking around for a short time, trying to scope out the activities, when she felt someone bump into her. "Sorry about that," the person who had accidentally run into her apologized, and Kaylee turned and saw that it was a girl about her own age, a tall, thin redhead with an autumn wreath atop her head. The other thing about the girl was that Kaylee didn't recognize her from Hogwarts. "It's okay," she called, reassuring her with a smile. She hadn't hurt her; she'd only been startled. "No worries!"

Mabon, celebrating the Fall Equinox had passed. It was last month, and their next celebration wasn't until November. The celebration of the start of winter. Fiona knew about Halloween, though she had never celebrated it. There was never a need. They had all their celebrations. They had already celebrated the harvest and the beginning of fall, and then the Equinox. The festival here on Zombie Island, seemed odd. It didn't seem to be celebrating the harvest, or fall itself, and it certainly wasn't celebrating the coming of winter. Fiona wondered what they were celebrating. Were they doing it for scares or fun? Fiona just took it as a cultural thing.
It didn't matter, Fiona was there, and she would just make the most of it. She looked around, wondering what she should do first, when she bumped into someone. Fiona turned to apologize, and got a good look at the girl. Guessing that the girl was about Fee's age, that meant that she must have been a student at Hogwarts. Though, she didn't speak with an accent that Fiona was used to hearing. She had heard it a couple times from visitors to Hy-Brasil.
The girl stated that it wasn't a problem, and that she was fine. With a smile Fiona nodded. "Good. Hey, are you from America?"

October 18, 2025 The girl who had bumped into her smiled and didn't seem bothered by what had happened, either. That was good; it was always a little bit awkward when someone got irrationally upset over something small like that. She hadn't meant any harm, clearly, and she seemed friendly about it. "Good," the redhead said. "Hey, are you from America?"
Kaylee laughed and nodded before she could even give a proper verbal response to the other girl. With as many Americans as were in the British Isles, she was amazed by how often other people—including Honeydukes customers—were surprised to hear her speaking with an American accent and not some sort of British or Irish one. She couldn't picture herself speaking with any other accent than the one she had, so it was sort of funny to her. "Yeah," she answered. "I'm one of the Ilvermorny transfer students." She couldn't really place the redhead's accent, though; maybe it was something more Irish or Scottish? "My name's Kaylee."

Fiona asked if the girl was American. It was an honest question. The girl sounded American. And Fiona wasn't one to beat around the bush. She said precisely what she wanted to say, no matter how the other person took it. After she posed her question the girl started to laugh. What she right, or was the girl trying a new accent for some reason? It was an accent she knew, and she had heard the that Ilvermorney students had started to go to Hogwarts. She had just forgotten that until she heard the girl talk. She wasn't entirely expecting it. But it was fun.
Fiona smiled. She was right. The girl finally agreed with her. "I'm one of the Ilvermorny transfer students." the girl then introduced herself, giving her name to be Kaylee. "I'm Fiona. From Hy-Brasil." Because she knew the girls origin, generally speaking, and school. She only felt it fair to tell the girl where she was from. The girl must have been questioning it.

October 18, 2025 "I'm Fiona. From Hy-Brasil."
Hy-Brasil. Kaylee paused for a moment, wondering why that sounded so familiar to her. "Hy-Brasil," she repeated, still smiling a little. "Wait, are you a Druid?"
There had been some Druid students at Hogwarts the previous spring for the OWLs and NEWTs, but she had been in her sixth year the previous year and therefore hadn't taken either. From what she had heard, though, the Druids lived very differently from other witches and wizards; they focused much more on maintaining a relationship with nature, and—supposedly—they even banished people from Hy-Brasil for using the Dark Arts. It seemed to explain the wreath of leaves Fiona was wearing atop her head, too.
The latest news out of Hy-Brasil had been, of course, that many of the creatures that lived on the island had escaped, creating an absolute nightmare for the Obliviators at the Ministry. Kaylee had heard about that, though she couldn't recall having run into anything out of the ordinary around Hogwarts or Hogsmeade.

From her last visit to Hogwarts, for her OWLs, Fiona knew that school teaching about Hy-Brasil was hit or miss. Everyone seemed to have different amounts of knowledge. "Wait, are you a Druid?" She was on the nose. Giving a curtsy, as if she was royalty she smiled at the girl. "In the flesh."
Fiona was used to questions regarding where she came from. Even when she was at home, helping a tourist - weather or not she was actually helpful. Fiona knew alot about her culture, though not as much as her sister did (too much time looking at stars). She was happy to answer questions. She found that many non druids tended to get surprised simply by the fact of her origin.

October 18, 2025 "In the flesh." Fiona was a Druid, and the curtsy that she gave—along with her appearance—made her seem especially like some sort of autumnal forest fairy.
"Oh, that's so cool," Kaylee grinned, though it must have been weird for Fiona to be surrounded by so many non-Druids. She knew that Halloween might have had some sort of history in Celtic festivals of some sort, but everything that was on Zombie Island was very much the sort of commercialized American thing to which Kaylee was accustomed. Short of trick-or-treating, it was pretty much everything she could have expected. But most Druids didn't even come to somewhere like Hogsmeade; if she had had any as customers at Honeydukes, Kaylee hadn't been able to identify them as Druids. "Are you here with other people?" she asked, not wanting to keep Fiona waiting if she had somewhere she needed to be or someone she needed to meet.

"Oh, that's so cool," Fiona simply beamed. Yes, she was pretty cool. The environment was quite different to what the girl was used to. This wasn't normally her scene, but she was curious, and wanted to check it out. Perhaps she would take solace in the "Haunted Forest" with sweet creatures.
"Are you here with other people?" Well, yes, but also no. She did come with others, but she was alone at the moment. "I'm not the only Druid here, but I'm currently unattached" It would have been nice if she had come with a friend, but the girl was not so co-dependent that she couldn't go alone.

October 18, 2025 "I'm not the only Druid here," Fiona replied to her, "but I'm currently unattached."
Kaylee nodded. They must have arrived there by Portkey from Hy-Brasil, just as the Hogwarts students had to take a Portkey from the school. "Cool. Well, do you want to hang out?" she suggested. Obviously, she knew no shortage of the other people who were already there—between having been an Ilvermorny student and having been at Hogwarts for a year already—so it wasn't a huge deal if Fiona didn't want to hang out with her, but she figured that she would offer. It would be more fun to check out everything with somebody else, she thought, and Fiona seemed nice, too.

Fiona was not normally very friendly with complete strangers, but she was feeling good, and she had a trick in her pocket, and she was in the mood for mischief. Maybe this girl would have some fun with her. "do you want to hang out?" Fiona thought about it and fingered a pocket. After a moment she smiled and nodded "Could be fun." She pulled a small piece of something from her pocket and popped it into her mouth "Where should we go first?" she said as she looked around.

October 18, 2025 "Could be fun," Fiona agreed with her. Kaylee noticed her put something into her mouth but figured that it must have been some sort of medicinal herb or something, so she didn't question it at all. "Where should we go first?"
There were so many options that it was hard to decide on just one. She wasn't really hungry yet, so there wasn't much point in going straight towards any of the food options just yet. That left the activities. Kaylee looked around again, trying not to miss anything. The maze seemed sort of fun but potentially boring, and trying to figure out their way out of it when she hardly knew Fiona didn't sound incredibly exciting. Besides, it was her birthday, and the maze would be around. "Hmmm." What else was there? "What about the haunted forest thing?" Kaylee suggested to Fiona. "Or is that too 'Hy-Brasil' for you?"

"What about the haunted forest thing?" The girl suggested, Fiona looked towards the activity as the girl added "Or is that too 'Hy-Brasil' for you?" the girl laughed. "Don't think you'll get a fright with me beside you, but I'd think it'll be fun to see the creatures." She said, smiling at the girl. "As long as they are treated well. Let's go" She said, as she started to head there.

October 18, 2025 "Don't think you'll get a fright with me beside you, but I'd think it'll be fun to see the creatures," Fiona smiled at her. That was probably true. She must have been pretty used to being around all sorts of different creatures all the time. Supposedly, Hy-Brasil was just teeming with magical flora and fauna, like nowhere else in the entire world. "As long as they are treated well," she added. That was true; Kaylee didn't think that she would be able to stand it if any of the creatures in the forest were being mistreated, either. It probably wasn't the natural habitat for any of them, so she hoped that the Magizoologists were doing a good job of making sure that they were all safe, comfortable, and cared for. "Let's go."
"Cool," Kaylee agreed, following behind Fiona as the both of them made their way to the forest. It did look like a real forest, like a miniature version of the Forbidden Forest on the edge of the grounds at Hogwarts.
As they got closer, Kaylee noticed that there was a sign mentioning that they weren't allowed to take their wands into the attraction with them for safety reasons. It made sense; they couldn't risk having anyone accidentally injuring themselves or any of the creatures if they got too startled. Fortunately, she checked with one of the other students volunteering, and they had set up an area for safekeeping.
"Okay," Kaylee nodded, getting out her wand so that it could be stored until they got out of the "forest". She didn't think that there would be any issues leaving her wand, so she didn't hesitate; there wouldn't be much that anyone would really want with it, anyway.
