This is kind of humor. It's pretty wild, though I wouldn't know if anyone thought it was funny.

The Circle Gets Wild
Daja rolled over, mumbling to the sheets. Why was her mother wearing a rubber chicken around her neck? Then an uncle of hers came dancing around on the dock in his boxers. Wait- Briar was giving her bunny ears! The little-
She woke up to find herself strangling the blankets. Muttering to herself, she pushed herself out of bed, rubbed her bleary eyes and massaging her temples. Ugh- then she remembered the party. Whooee, that was wild. Worth all the hangover. All the Circle had returned to Discipline and thrown one helluva party. Conveniently, all their teachers had been away on something or another, so they had the place to themselves.
But- ugh again. When Briar got drunk, he got horny. Daja had a feeling that he and Sandry had had plenty of fun last night. But Daja had her wild moments, too. Particularly when she had been dared to go up onto the roof butt-naked and sing 'Duke Vedris and his Lovers'. But hey- she'd gotten quite an audience for that!
But Daja didn't even want to think about what Niko would say about the whole mess. Anyway, they had their relaxation time, right? No more saving the world. So all she had to do was bug Briar for some hangover remedies, and feed Little Bear. Clutching her head, Daja left the room.

Sandry woke up with a worse headache than Daja. She rolled over and saw Briar, snoring happily. Well, it was worth it all. Worth it all to see Tris that high.
~*~
The four sat down at the table, all moaning in harmony while Briar got his hangover remedy.
"Shit, Briar," yawned Daja. "Can't you hurry it up a bit?"
Tris squinted at her empty cup. "Yeah, hurry it, up, thief-boy."
Briar mumbled something under his breath and poured the tea to himself first, relishing in their glares as he sipped it.
"Okay, okay! Serve yourselves!" he said grumpily. In a few hours they were all fine again, until…

"…You should have seen it, man! Daja was dancing in her birthday suit on the roof singing 'Duke Vedris and his Lovers' while Tris was trying to hook a tree. You don't even want to know about Sandry and Br- eep!" the gossip turned around to see Niklaren Goldeye glaring at her. The gossip's friends all ran off in a hurry.
"Ah, what can I do for you?" she squeaked.
"Tie their hands while I tan their hides."

The group was all eating lunch when the door opened to reveal Niko, who was smiling a trifle too sweetly. "Why- hello, everybody," he said, voice dripping marmalade. "Did you all have fun last night?"
Sandry winced and avoided his eyes. They were in for it…
"Oh, yes," said Briar. "And you?" he shuffled his fork around the plate. "But I did hear about a wild party down at the Hub. Even Honored Moonstream was there. I even heard some stories about you and Lar- oh, I've said too much." He grinned slyly and Niko's face went a deeper and deeper red. "And Rosethorn brought in some marijuana, and tested it on herself, so I've heard. You know, I never was sure but I'm positive she isn't a virgin now." He was really getting into it. "Or the drinking contest- you know Frostpine won first prize? He was as plastered as Rosethorn was high. Then-"
"Excuse me," and Niko found some business elsewhere.
Everyone laughed. "How much of that was true?" asked Tris.
Briar looked offended. "Of course it was all true! I got it all straight from the lips of Honored Moonstream."
