U/MCAB | REP 5+ | BALL

What: Celebration of Newtonian Physics
Who: NPC eccentric female scientist / science enthusiast for any interested members of society. Invitations were sent particularly to Flint scholars, academics, Ministry researchers, nonfiction authors, and librarians — if your character falls into one of those categories but is WC they can still come!
Cost: Nope.
Where: Wellingtonshire
Why: staging ground for some silly threads
When: 5 July 1893

On July 5th, 1687, Isaac Newton published Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, in which he discussed (among other things) his three laws of motion. To celebrate the anniversary of this seminal work of Muggle science and to bring more awareness of science to the magical community generally, Mrs. Laswich is hosting a ball in her magically-expanded-for-the-evening Wellingtonshire home. Along the walls of the ballroom are a series of wire tracks, wheels, pulleys, etc which are transporting gleaming silver marbles (think these) to demonstrate physics in action. There's a little charmwork applied to the dance floor to help couples glide along more smoothly — an object in motion stays in motion, after all. In one corner of the ballroom there is a "gravity ball" — a charmed object which increases the gravitational pull in about a six-foot sphere around it — which guests can interact with as a curiosity. Near the end of the evening, a few pranksters will send the gravity ball rolling across the ballroom, causing some minor havoc for those unsuspecting in its path.
