Fred: Today had been a busy day. Well, for the soccer team. She inspected the decorations they’d put up, making sure they were spooky enough. Fifty laps had been threatened for any slackers and it seemed the threat had worked. The cafeteria had been painted with dark teal and black stripes and the lights had been brought very low. On one side was the dance floor, with the zombie band playing a jazzy tune. Candles floated above, flickering on and off to give off a strobe light effect. On the other side decaying tables and chairs were set out. Vases filled with rotting flowers and fake limbs sat in the center, and a little animation spell allowed the fingers and toes to give an extra surprise. The finishing touch was the back wall, filled to the brim with creepy and borderline disgusting food. A true Halloween feast! With a sigh of satisfaction, Fred made her way to a table set in front of the dining areas doors. From there she’d be able to judge whether or not the students were scary enough. She threw her legs atop the table and leaned back in the chair, a grin lighting her face as she waited for her first victim.
Eggy: She adjusted her mask one last time. She tested her mouth to make sure it would open and close without locking on her like it did the day before. Wasn’t fun. Her head feathers stuck out, matching the colors of the mask and not the bib on her chest. She dabbed a bit more red around her fake beak before heading out the door.
Hans&Franz&Richter: Hans skipped into the cafeteria holding both of his friends’ hands! When he let go and trotted happily to the punch table, Franz sighed and wandered over to Fred. Hans fixed his collar! His outfit-thoughtfully portrayed- showed Fred in common Halloween attire, drenched in faux blood (Which he tried to mix from Easter dye, but could only manage to aquire a hot pink!) Franz was dressed in the same fashion, only sans blood. Richter sported a black turtleneck and khakis! Hans tried to remember what he was, but it was something “Psycho bates?” Norman? Something!
Meredith: she adjusted her 'outfit' it consisted of black pants (and holy crap it felt so weird she'd never worn pants before this) and a yellow and black striped top with an antenna head band and fake blood thrown on the clothing. She had heard about these demonic creatures called bee's at school and instantly decided that nope she did not like them. At least in Halloween town you knew if something was harmful.
Crimson walked in, messing with the blades on her hands, she had made sure to dull the blades to ensure she didn't hurt anyone. She quickly adjusted her fedora.
Sweetie: Drifting in behind her, the pink-haired doll had a rather uncharacteristic look of puzzlement. Finally planting her hands on her hips with a fake-fanged frown, she wandered over to Hans. "Excuse me... were you the first ones here?"
Blade: inching around the corner she surveyed her surroundings before checking a window at her costume. Her skin was painted entirely grey and her fake wings looked real enough thanks to a small spell from a friend. She adjusted her grey tunic/dress and Lurel wreath and inched her way towards the party. She had been informed that it would be a mix of both academy and university students and well, she didn't have anything better to do so she dressed up as a 'villian' from her old favorite human show and headed out. "Excuse me," she asked the girl sitting at the table at the entrance. "I assume this is the party. Academy students are welcome right?"
Meredith: walking past a young girl covers in grey she tried to look for someone she knew. Giving a polite greeting to her teacher of course as she passed. "hello, professor. Please excuse the costume my familiar suggested I should also go for 'funny
Fred: What were these kids doing, just walking past her?! They didn’t even say hello! /RUDE/. And wait- were those punks dressed as /her/? They were lucky she was too lazy to actually get up or they’d be peeing their pants. She noticed another student in black and yellow approaching. Was she dressed as a bee?!Before she could complain, another student popped up. Fred sat up straight and raised an eyebrow as the girl explained why she was there. “I- what?” She’d not been told about any academy students showing up. This could only be the work of that cursed candy cane guy. She squinted at the girl hard. She was scary enough she guessed. Huffing, she shooed her away. “Fine, fine, like I give a fork on the left.”Finally the bee arrived, and Fred could only let her pass when she noticed the blood stains. She sat back down, sizzling at the idea of the minty man hijacking her party.
Sinsir: He approached the party room, nervously adjusting his coat. He felt very uncomfortable in this outfit, but for Halloween you were supposed to be the opposite, according to what he had been told. And he had found his exact perfect opposite a couple months before, after watching the entirety of two shows from the "real world" that Crispin had stolen from some poor kid right out of Santa's sleigh. A vampire alone seemed opposite enough, and this one's particular personality was a "beautiful clash" to quote the warlock. And he hadn't even had to get any special colored fondant, just brushed his normal hair back into small spikes. He found Fred and approached her, clearing his throat. "So, may I go through?" he asked. He had heard that she was some sort of gate warden for the party. He had heard that from her.
Eris walked in, she looked around, how would she cause trouble tonight? She didn't want to use the punch trick again... as she walked in she leaned against one of the walls, she was dressed in a green dress with a purple corset, her hair down and loosely curled.
Geoffrey: He was laughing as he neared the location of the party. Halloween was so funny! Did they think they were scary? Either he was oblivious or they were very friendly for Halloween residents! But he supposed vampires weren't very threatening, in any case. Glitter trailed out behind him as he walked, having doused himself in the stuff, making his skin appear very pale- almost like marble- and shiny. His hair was down and it was swept in a way it wasn't accustomed to- he'd had to use quite a bit of hairspray to counteract the normal cherub-style curls it was in, but it was worth it. He wore a white dress shirt, open at the front, and dark pants and shoes, and he checked his compact to be sure his fangs were still in place. Yes! He looked just like the vampires he saw in the paranormal part of town! He smiled at himself and blinked a few times at his red eyes. They weren't actually much different than his natural pink eyes, but he had to have the contacts. A vampire that feeds on human blood rather than animal blood was definitely scary. He approached the door with a flourish, shirt rustling in the wind as he walked.
: From an unknown part of the room, a voice could distinctly be heard saying "What." followed by furious shuffling. Anyone looking in that direction would see nothing, however...
Blade: walking past the disgruntled Vampire she noticed Franz and Han and, smiling to herself sneaked up behind them unnoticed. "so how's university life...are you two dressed as what's her face back there
Meredith: she jumped when the door was thrown open and turned to see the Valentine resident that had helped her on the first day of classes. What was his name again.....Gregory...no...Jeffery..no it was Geoffrey that's it. She couldn't help but laugh a little at his costume behind her hand, blushing at the same time, he looked just like one of the men from the cover of her romance novels.....that she did not own...
Fred: She supposed Sinsir's costume was okay, and the fact that he actually stopped to ask was even more so. She hitched a thumb at the doorway to let him know he was cool. What was not cool was that Valentine's kid who just blew past her, leaving a blast of glitter in his wake. This insolence would NOT be tolerated anymore. She jumped up from her seat and stomped into the cafeteria, slamming the door loudly. Spotting the blonde asshole, she shouted, "YOU. GET OUT." The Twilight series was such an insult to vampires, she could barely stand it.
Eggy: As she made her way to the lunch room door, she froze up. What if her costume wasn't as scary as she thought? She took a deep breath and puffed up her chest. She slowly started to open her fake beak revealing the teeth inside. She tilted her head and peeked inside the caferteria.
: A few strands of black hair brushed over Meredith's shoulder, and from the other side, a dully-glinting, blood-spattered axe snuck into her peripheral vision.
Button: "He made me wreck my entrance."
Eris backed up to the wall, observing the people interacting, she headed to the snack table looking at the food, she got a tiny smile. she checked to make sure no ones eyes were on her before she tapped the table and a the sweets got a shone for a second, some turning blue some turing green, and some turning red, before returning to their normal color. She nodded satisfied with her work, she quickly got a cup of punch and retreated to the corner of the room.
Geoffrey whirled around and blinked several times. What had he done wrong? "What? Do you know how hard I worked on this, how-you-say, costume? There's glitter all over my house!" It was true. He shuddered to think what his fratmates would look like after walking in there.
Hans: He stopped and whirled around to great Sweetie! “How cute!!!” He wished he was like a doll!! It must be really nice to wake up perfect every day! “Can I help you?” He leaned over her! Even her outfit was perfect! So not fair!!
Franz: He helped himself to some punch, pretty out of it. Unlike Hans, he had actually pulled a all nighter studying for upcoming midterms and the like, and felt closer to death than half of Halloween Town. He lazily poured some in his cup and looked over to Blade, blinking at her a few times. “Oh, hey dude. It’s, it’s pretty rough man.” He tiredly nodded at himself. “OH! Yeah, we’re like, We’re Ms. Loveless. Yeah. What are you?”
Sweetie: She hid her smile under a raised hand in a show of demureness, but it poked out at the edges; she was too pleased to really try about that. And, noticing he was taking in her outfit, she couldn't help but turn her head to show off the embroidered bite marks on the side of her neck. "Yes, I'm looking for my little sister... Button? We came here together but she wandered off on her own."
Meredith: just as she was about to go greet Geoffrey she saw the axe enter her vision she did the first thing that came to mind; she went intangible and accidently blacked out the room for a few seconds. Coming back together she looked around sheepishly. "sorry....but did anyone else see that?"
Fred: "Don't care! You can change it and come back, or not." She quipped while her face started changing. She looked casually at her growing nails as she felt the bat face transformation complete. Sometimes it was actually useful! She bowed deeply, gesturing to the door. "Now sir, will I have to show you the way out?"
Haar: He strode in confidentially! Ah yes, magnificent! Wonderous! Tip top shape, really! He readjusted his bowtie and dusted off his striped suit! He had inquired to Crispin much earlier regarding Halloween in the real world presently, and evidently, the bug juice man was quite popular? Fittingly so, however! Still, he was an invited guest, so he simply waited behind the line of people to get in! He leaned over and snuck a peek at Fred, much closer to the door than he! Sadly, his own event-planned prior had gotten rained out, but he believed the Christmas teachers had made special arrangements! He couldn’t help but to feel guilty- she had done all the work, too! He deemed he would be as helpful as possible, starting now!
Button: She'd jerked back at the sudden blackout, bringing her axe across her chest defensively. After the lights flickered back on, she sighed, carefully brushing her temporarily straight, inky hair back over one eye. "The lights? Yeah, what was up with that?"
Hans: He put his hands behind him and raised and feel on his heels, “Oh sure! I love to help!!” When she turned his head, he let out an impressed “Ooooh!~” Where could he learn to sew like that RIGHT NOW? Still, he raised a hand to his chin and rubbed it. “Aber ja, fraulein! What does she look like?”
Blade: gave Franz a once over...he looked liked death but she decided not to say anything. "hm, oh I'm a weeping angel. There kinds these villain things from an old favorite show of mine. Basically evil alien things that can only move when your not looking and turn to stone angels when you do." She smiled over in hans's direction. 'I see somthings never change. Seriously though is college that bad? I remember some colleges from the human world and they seemed pretty chill."
Franz: He scratched the back of his hair, “But like, how would they even get anywhere? I mean, people are literally watching you all the time, ja?” Maybe things were different in the human world? It sounded pretty messy over there though, so he never gave it much thought. “I guess it’s not that bad all of the time, but when it rains, it pours dude.” He swirled his punch a bit. “Anyway, how have things been with you then, Blade?”
Sweetie: This time she outright beamed under his praise. "You're too kind." Truthfully it would be a bit hard to pull that sort of thing off unless one had either a very high pain tolerance or cloth skin, as she did. " Button is somewhat shorter than me. She has long hair, it's black right now..." She'd helped her paint it, in fact. "She's dressed as an... onryo, she said? I haven't the slightest idea. Something from one of those horror films she's always watching."
Meredith: taking in the sight of the girls (plastic) axe she felt a bit stupid. "oh...the lights? I'm afraid that was me..your axe startled me and well." She gestures up to the lights
Emma: Coming up with a costume had been hard! She wasn’t one for scary stories and was too busy to do any research. John had suggested she go as their mother, but she felt it wouldn’t be well known enough. Then party day had come and well… she still didn’t have a costume! So emergency plan c was put into action: a ghost! An old sheet and a pair of scissors made the perfect team for her costume, and though she knew it was super lame, it was still better than nothing. She slipped by the empty table and into the cafeteria, thankful that Fred wasn’t there to judge her.
Button: At being informed that she successfully scared at least one person on her way in, Button beamed like it was Christmas and her birthday all in one go. "REALLY?" Her focus shifted fairly quickly. She blinked. "You can turn off the lights? How did you do that?"
Hans: He nodded, “Oh! Black hair, okay! That shouldn’t be too hard!” He took her hand and bounded away until noticing kinda a lot of people with black hair?? He scratched his head over at Button and Meredith, until finally leading Sweetie over to Crimson! “Hiya!!”
Blade: She nodded her head in consideration of his answer. "well, you have to look away at some point and the moment you do..." she grined, for a moment not picturing the show but her younger self sneaking up on the 'high, mighty and untouchables'. Shaking her head she answered his real question. "oh same old same old, school trying to piece together my memories. I have made a new friend though from Halloween, Hallow, he's kinda shy but---is that Geoffrey dressed as a twilight character?"
Geoffrey literally ran out the door, trying his best not to scream. It worked. A little. Okay, it didn't, he screamed like a cherub as he ran away. He wouldn't be back.
Crimson blinked, "Uh, Hi."
Franz: “Creepy.” It wouldn’t be so bad, but the fact she was supposed to be an angel gave him the creeps. One of his gloved hands felt for his rosary inside his pocket. “Same old stuff, then? Yeah, memories can be pretty hard.” He remembered that being a problem for her last time they chilled. Hollow sounded really familiar, but he couldn’t think of a face. He turned to look for Geoffrey, but at that point he was already gone! “I don’t know what that is, but to be honest, his outfits don’t surprise me anymore!” Franz had seen some stuff man. Stuff that should never be worn.
Meredith: "hm? Oh I'm a shade. I'm sort of made of shadows. My essence spreads out..I don't really turn out the lights so much as block them out." She explained holding out her arm and demonstrating as her 'arm' completely shadowed a plate of food next to them. Before re-condensing.
Sweetie: Blinking in return, she glanced between Hans and Crimson. "...Hello. Have you seen Button?"
Button: Button's hands opened, dropping the axe with a surprisingly solid 'thump'. Thus freed, her hands snaked up to cup either side of her face, eyes wide.
Cain: Having seen a bit of a commotion, he took this as a chance to approach the door and wait to be judged. He couldn't help but be nervous, even though he'd put a lot of work into his costume...! He didn't know how Fred would take it! Or Haar for that matter... He reached up to rub his face nervously before remembering the copious amounts of eyel
iner and eyeshadow he'd had to use and withdrawing his hand nervously. When it was his turn, he made his best 'Muahahaha!' face as he awaited her judgment.
Crimson: "Button...? Oh yeah I've met her before..." she looked around "Sorry I don't think i've seen her tonight her."
Button: "That. Is. The. Most. Amazing. Thing. Everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr," she declared in something akin to a fervent whisper, taking her hands off her own face to grab either side of Meredith's.
Meredith: to say she was surprised at the random face grabbing was an understatement as yet again she dissipate causing the girls arms to go through her for a moment before retuning to the same position. "oh why thank you. It's not really that special though. My name's Meredith by the way and yours?"
Button: Upon her hands actively slipping -through- Meredith's person, she retreated them rapidly, staring at her fingers in a moment of pure awe. Her visible eye slowly drifted back up towards Meredith. "I'mButtonyou'reamazingweshouldbefriendscanwebefriends"
Hans: He looked terribly confused. “YOU’re not Button, then?” Well, that was 1/3! “If YOURE not Button, who are you then?” He tilted his head. “WHOA are those claws??”
Blade: she hummed in agreement before smiling. "I DID find something out though. Something that's not all that important but important all the same...want to know." Her grin was probably border lining creepy in her costume but like she gave a fork on the left. She had only 'recoverd' this little tidbit recently when she had met up with an old friend after sneaking into the human world and receiving an old file on herself so she had yet to tell anyone. It contained only the minimal basics, most of which she already knew but there was one thing she found kinda interesting.
Sweetie: Wait was -that- why he'd led them over here? "N-no, Button is a doll, like me... She would have stitches on her?" Trying to be helpful, she held up one hand and turned it sideways, showing off the neat line of bright red stitches going up the side of her hand. "Button's Thread is white, though."
She smiled "You can call me Crimson." She smiled "Yeah, I'm supposed to be a dream demon named Freddy Krueger"
Meredith: she only caught maybe 1/3 of that but got the general idea and smiled brightly. "why yes Button, I would like that very much." She sound polite and curdious on the out side. But on the inside she was a mass of 'aw mother of night yes! A friend outside of the shade nobility Frick yes!'
Sweetie: "Oh, nonono, it shouldn't be that much of a problem!" She accompanied her words with a nervous fluttering of both hands. "There aren't too many people here, and she wouldn't miss this for her life; I'm sure she's here."
Franz: “Oh uh…” He couldn’t help to wince at her grin. Man, he was usually good with this kind of stuff on the outside, but internally, he was scared shitless by pretty much everything. “Yeah, tell me!” Yeah, please stop smiling like that!!!
Hans: “Whoa!!” How did he not see that!? Actually, he doesn’t see a lot anyway, but still! “Oh! Okay! Uh…That sounds good!” More people helping would make it easier! “Hallo Crimson!”
Fred: She chased after Geoffrey, yelling, “I VANT TO SUCK YOUR BLOOD” as she ran through the doors. She chuckled as his screams faded and strolled back to her seat. She cracked her knuckles loudly before peering up at whoever was next. Which was Harvey of course. Wait, two Harveys?! Her blood froze and she could only stare at him- them- with wide eyes. Even better was the realization that her bat face was still present, and she forced herself to concentrate on making her features normal again. She eventually spoke in a harsh whisper, “Hello and welcome to the party. You- er- both can go inside if you please.”
Crimson: She nodded "Hi...Uh..I don't think i caught your guys names."
Sweetie: "Oh! Oh, I'm Sweetie. It's wonderful to meet you." She bobbed her head politely, strawberry curls bouncing with the motion.
Emma: Was that Geoffrey screaming? She would’ve gone to see if it hadn’t been for the dhampir following him. The last thing she wanted was to be thrown out! Geoffrey would just have to handle it himself. She spied Franz and Hans, and figured she could go bother them for a bit. A sudden idea came to her and she smiled mischievously. She crept along the corners of the room until she was behind Hans, trying to stifle her laughter. Soon she was close enough and she cried “BOO!” while putting her hands up menacingly. The laughter she’d been holding in rang out, and she was almost doubled over at her own joke.
Hans: He smiled at Crimson and gave her a neat little bow. Dressing fancy made him act fancy! Or at least, he would if there wasn’t so much Easter-dye blood!! He was just about to speak when SOME HELLISH FIEND WAS BEHIND HIM!?!? He whirled around and jolted! He froze before realizing it was Emma, and then gave her puppy eyes. “Emmmmaaa! That wasn’t nice at all!!” He could have pissed himself!! In his fancy clothes!!
Meredith: while talking to button she noticed a familiar duck in the comer of her eye. "Eggy?" she called out
Haar: He gave Cain a quick glance, and then doubletaked! “Candy Man!! Did you really?” He let out a fine laugh. “I’m flattered!” He couldn’t help but to add, in a playfully sarcastic tone, “Just know the original piece is always valued more!” He gave Cain a smile, “I jest, I jest! You make a fine me, if I do say so myself!!” He smiled at Cain for a moment before stopping at the door and catching eyes with Fred. ‘Ah! Ms. Winnifred! Excellent!” He offered his hand to shake. “Thank you immensely for allowing our students to your gathering!” +
Emma: She let out a few more laughs before noticing her sheet had fallen off. She picked it up and threw it over her again, adjusting it so she could see through the eye holes. "S-sorry Hans, it- haha- was just t-too good- pff- to pass up!" she managed between giggles.
Cain grinned- not unlike how Haar did!- and said, "I merely dressed as the spookiest thing I knew." He was going to wink, but he was permanently winking right now. How did one-eyed people live without winking??? He merely made his way into the party instead, thanking the dhampir on his way by quietly. Her vibes weren't what he needed, freankly. She was super tense for some reason. He made his way to his usual spot, hovering around the snack bar- in this case, actually hovering! Haar never did do much walking, it seemed... And he had a part to play!
Eggy: She jumped for joy at hearing her name being called. She waved to Meredith before looking around. She had gotten quite bored waiting for Fred to give her the okay to come in. Besides, she figured she could sneak in. Her small stature had helped her get away with a few things in the past. She ran up to Meredith.
Meredith smiled at Eggy. "I take it you found your way back to the enemy side in capture the flag?" she asked curious if her directions had been helpfull
Eggy: She nodded, moving the mask on her head forward a bit too much. She lifted her head back up and adjusted it. "Oh yes! And before sunrise too!"
Meredith: she chuckled. "that's good I was worried you'd gotten lost again when I left. So what's your costume?" she asked the girl looked to be dressed as some kind of deranged robot chicken but one could never be to sure
Fred: She glared at four eyes after realizing that he was the second Harvey. She could only assume he was behind the party merge, and she vowed to get her revenge later. But not now! She raised her eyes to Harvey again, who was holding out his hand. She took it like it was made of glass and carefully shook, quickly retreating when the gesture was finished. His hand was so cold! She looked back and forth between the wall and his missing eye, slightly cringing. “My pleasure, I suppose. You can call me Fred. Only my mother called me Winifred.”
Eggy: "Oh. I'll give you a hint.." She took two cute little steps back. She looked around to make sure she wouldn't bump into anyone. She sprawled her wings out and let out a blood curdling scream.
Haar: He laughed, “Whatever works! Winifred suits you, however!” He felt as if there was another name she went by, but he couldn’t think of it. Perhaps an alias? A secret identity?? Interesting! After their handshake, he gave her a low bow. “Ah yes! Back to business! You are doing me a grand favor, so in return, I am willing to lend a hand where ever I can!” That’s what the man of bug juice did, wasn’t it? Helping children? Or…maybe it was stealing them. He couldn’t remember, but either way! “Act as if I am your humble servant, if you please!” He gave her a grin. He was quite excited to make a Halloween friend! Crispin was…well… New company was always nice!!
Meredith: it took her moment but she finaly got it. She used to like the game as a child (i.e watching walkthroughs) "Chica the chicken?"
Eggy: She beamed. Her performance was good! "Yes!"
Meredith: "very nice costume Eggy." She complimented "so how are you doing."
Blade: after taking a moment to survey the party she felt her stomach silently grumble and turned to get some food. "so I heard that the university has clubs, have you joined any?" she asked Franz, she hated to crowd around the poor guy but so far he was the only one she knew besides Hans
Eggy: She shrugged. "Alright..I guess. I was kind of hoping to..dance a little?" She looked over Meredith. "Not that I was asking..but I was kinda asking." She blushed a little. "So..how are you?"
Sinsir: After his approval, he walked inside, heading over towards the snack table. There were a number of sweets, which was one of the wonderful things about Halloween, and Valentine's too. He looked around nervously, wondering if Annice was here yet. They'd only been officially dating for a little over two weeks, but it had been the best time of his life. But he felt odd about seeing her tonight, he wasn't certain how he would feel about seeing Annice in a scary costume
As if on cue, Annice was making her way to the doors to the cafeteria. She hadn't heard much about what was going on, just that there was a party and Halloween was a time for dressing up! She was looking forward to seeing Sinsir, but wasn't sure what to expect of the party. She, in her flowing dress, strolled right past the preoccupied Fred and into the party.
Cici: She nervously walked up. She had actually been excited about the party set to happen at the Academy, and had been quite disappointed when it hadn't happened. The University, and lots of the people in it, were quite intimidating to her, however. But in the end she had decided to come anyway. She tugged at the small red cape around her shoulders. Bridget had told her the fairytale, picked up from Mother Goose in Easter town, and Cici had thought the girl had sounded adorable, and had done her best. her skirt was black with red and green ribbons, poofing outwards around her knees. The knees which were knocking together as she approached the door, clutching the small basket in her hands and hoping no one would try and scare her.
Meredith: she blinked a couple of times. Dance? Oh she wished. She relay was good if she was honest, if it weren't for her having to take over for her parents in leading the shade community she would probably have majored in dance if not minored. She was a bit self conscious though...aw what the heckle-speckle. "sure why not."
Eggy: She bowed and held out her wing. "Then may I have this dance?"
Fred: This was way to familiar and she could not deal. So instead she started laughing and backing away. "Great, great, just um, watch thenkids yeah? Cool, I'll be righttt back!" Before he could respond she ran past and down the hall.
Sinsir: Standing at the snack table, he turned and blinked in surprise. Why was Annice dressed as an adorable.. princess? He walked over to her. "Hello, Miss Annice! You look wonderful, if a bit surprising!"
Haar: He was taken back a bit! He had really thought he sounded pretty pleasant! Fair enough though! He took a step to talk but stopped when she flew off. Instead, he just slumped down into a chair by the entrance. So very strange!
Annice: She smiled even more brightly and warmly at Sinsir than she did anyone else- which was saying something! She took a step to close the distance between her and Sinsir and reached forward to take his hand with a giggle! "Thank you! I don't know what you mean by surprising though." She looked around. Everyone was... kind of... terrifying??? Even Eggy...! "Unless I missed something?" She turned her head quickly to look around the room, hair turning with her as she did, giving her an even more perfect princess-like presence. "Oh dear, I have a feeling I did miss something! I thought being Snow White might be cute, but..." She looked up at Sinsir, puzzled.
Eggy: She adjusted her mask one last time. She tested her mouth to make sure it would open and close without locking on her like it did the day before. Wasn’t fun. Her head feathers stuck out, matching the colors of the mask and not the bib on her chest. She dabbed a bit more red around her fake beak before heading out the door.
Hans&Franz&Richter: Hans skipped into the cafeteria holding both of his friends’ hands! When he let go and trotted happily to the punch table, Franz sighed and wandered over to Fred. Hans fixed his collar! His outfit-thoughtfully portrayed- showed Fred in common Halloween attire, drenched in faux blood (Which he tried to mix from Easter dye, but could only manage to aquire a hot pink!) Franz was dressed in the same fashion, only sans blood. Richter sported a black turtleneck and khakis! Hans tried to remember what he was, but it was something “Psycho bates?” Norman? Something!
Meredith: she adjusted her 'outfit' it consisted of black pants (and holy crap it felt so weird she'd never worn pants before this) and a yellow and black striped top with an antenna head band and fake blood thrown on the clothing. She had heard about these demonic creatures called bee's at school and instantly decided that nope she did not like them. At least in Halloween town you knew if something was harmful.
Crimson walked in, messing with the blades on her hands, she had made sure to dull the blades to ensure she didn't hurt anyone. She quickly adjusted her fedora.
Sweetie: Drifting in behind her, the pink-haired doll had a rather uncharacteristic look of puzzlement. Finally planting her hands on her hips with a fake-fanged frown, she wandered over to Hans. "Excuse me... were you the first ones here?"
Blade: inching around the corner she surveyed her surroundings before checking a window at her costume. Her skin was painted entirely grey and her fake wings looked real enough thanks to a small spell from a friend. She adjusted her grey tunic/dress and Lurel wreath and inched her way towards the party. She had been informed that it would be a mix of both academy and university students and well, she didn't have anything better to do so she dressed up as a 'villian' from her old favorite human show and headed out. "Excuse me," she asked the girl sitting at the table at the entrance. "I assume this is the party. Academy students are welcome right?"
Meredith: walking past a young girl covers in grey she tried to look for someone she knew. Giving a polite greeting to her teacher of course as she passed. "hello, professor. Please excuse the costume my familiar suggested I should also go for 'funny
Fred: What were these kids doing, just walking past her?! They didn’t even say hello! /RUDE/. And wait- were those punks dressed as /her/? They were lucky she was too lazy to actually get up or they’d be peeing their pants. She noticed another student in black and yellow approaching. Was she dressed as a bee?!Before she could complain, another student popped up. Fred sat up straight and raised an eyebrow as the girl explained why she was there. “I- what?” She’d not been told about any academy students showing up. This could only be the work of that cursed candy cane guy. She squinted at the girl hard. She was scary enough she guessed. Huffing, she shooed her away. “Fine, fine, like I give a fork on the left.”Finally the bee arrived, and Fred could only let her pass when she noticed the blood stains. She sat back down, sizzling at the idea of the minty man hijacking her party.
Sinsir: He approached the party room, nervously adjusting his coat. He felt very uncomfortable in this outfit, but for Halloween you were supposed to be the opposite, according to what he had been told. And he had found his exact perfect opposite a couple months before, after watching the entirety of two shows from the "real world" that Crispin had stolen from some poor kid right out of Santa's sleigh. A vampire alone seemed opposite enough, and this one's particular personality was a "beautiful clash" to quote the warlock. And he hadn't even had to get any special colored fondant, just brushed his normal hair back into small spikes. He found Fred and approached her, clearing his throat. "So, may I go through?" he asked. He had heard that she was some sort of gate warden for the party. He had heard that from her.
Eris walked in, she looked around, how would she cause trouble tonight? She didn't want to use the punch trick again... as she walked in she leaned against one of the walls, she was dressed in a green dress with a purple corset, her hair down and loosely curled.
Geoffrey: He was laughing as he neared the location of the party. Halloween was so funny! Did they think they were scary? Either he was oblivious or they were very friendly for Halloween residents! But he supposed vampires weren't very threatening, in any case. Glitter trailed out behind him as he walked, having doused himself in the stuff, making his skin appear very pale- almost like marble- and shiny. His hair was down and it was swept in a way it wasn't accustomed to- he'd had to use quite a bit of hairspray to counteract the normal cherub-style curls it was in, but it was worth it. He wore a white dress shirt, open at the front, and dark pants and shoes, and he checked his compact to be sure his fangs were still in place. Yes! He looked just like the vampires he saw in the paranormal part of town! He smiled at himself and blinked a few times at his red eyes. They weren't actually much different than his natural pink eyes, but he had to have the contacts. A vampire that feeds on human blood rather than animal blood was definitely scary. He approached the door with a flourish, shirt rustling in the wind as he walked.
: From an unknown part of the room, a voice could distinctly be heard saying "What." followed by furious shuffling. Anyone looking in that direction would see nothing, however... Blade: walking past the disgruntled Vampire she noticed Franz and Han and, smiling to herself sneaked up behind them unnoticed. "so how's university life...are you two dressed as what's her face back there
Meredith: she jumped when the door was thrown open and turned to see the Valentine resident that had helped her on the first day of classes. What was his name again.....Gregory...no...Jeffery..no it was Geoffrey that's it. She couldn't help but laugh a little at his costume behind her hand, blushing at the same time, he looked just like one of the men from the cover of her romance novels.....that she did not own...
Fred: She supposed Sinsir's costume was okay, and the fact that he actually stopped to ask was even more so. She hitched a thumb at the doorway to let him know he was cool. What was not cool was that Valentine's kid who just blew past her, leaving a blast of glitter in his wake. This insolence would NOT be tolerated anymore. She jumped up from her seat and stomped into the cafeteria, slamming the door loudly. Spotting the blonde asshole, she shouted, "YOU. GET OUT." The Twilight series was such an insult to vampires, she could barely stand it.
Eggy: As she made her way to the lunch room door, she froze up. What if her costume wasn't as scary as she thought? She took a deep breath and puffed up her chest. She slowly started to open her fake beak revealing the teeth inside. She tilted her head and peeked inside the caferteria.
: A few strands of black hair brushed over Meredith's shoulder, and from the other side, a dully-glinting, blood-spattered axe snuck into her peripheral vision. Button: "He made me wreck my entrance."
Eris backed up to the wall, observing the people interacting, she headed to the snack table looking at the food, she got a tiny smile. she checked to make sure no ones eyes were on her before she tapped the table and a the sweets got a shone for a second, some turning blue some turing green, and some turning red, before returning to their normal color. She nodded satisfied with her work, she quickly got a cup of punch and retreated to the corner of the room.
Geoffrey whirled around and blinked several times. What had he done wrong? "What? Do you know how hard I worked on this, how-you-say, costume? There's glitter all over my house!" It was true. He shuddered to think what his fratmates would look like after walking in there.
Hans: He stopped and whirled around to great Sweetie! “How cute!!!” He wished he was like a doll!! It must be really nice to wake up perfect every day! “Can I help you?” He leaned over her! Even her outfit was perfect! So not fair!!
Franz: He helped himself to some punch, pretty out of it. Unlike Hans, he had actually pulled a all nighter studying for upcoming midterms and the like, and felt closer to death than half of Halloween Town. He lazily poured some in his cup and looked over to Blade, blinking at her a few times. “Oh, hey dude. It’s, it’s pretty rough man.” He tiredly nodded at himself. “OH! Yeah, we’re like, We’re Ms. Loveless. Yeah. What are you?”
Sweetie: She hid her smile under a raised hand in a show of demureness, but it poked out at the edges; she was too pleased to really try about that. And, noticing he was taking in her outfit, she couldn't help but turn her head to show off the embroidered bite marks on the side of her neck. "Yes, I'm looking for my little sister... Button? We came here together but she wandered off on her own."
Meredith: just as she was about to go greet Geoffrey she saw the axe enter her vision she did the first thing that came to mind; she went intangible and accidently blacked out the room for a few seconds. Coming back together she looked around sheepishly. "sorry....but did anyone else see that?"
Fred: "Don't care! You can change it and come back, or not." She quipped while her face started changing. She looked casually at her growing nails as she felt the bat face transformation complete. Sometimes it was actually useful! She bowed deeply, gesturing to the door. "Now sir, will I have to show you the way out?"
Haar: He strode in confidentially! Ah yes, magnificent! Wonderous! Tip top shape, really! He readjusted his bowtie and dusted off his striped suit! He had inquired to Crispin much earlier regarding Halloween in the real world presently, and evidently, the bug juice man was quite popular? Fittingly so, however! Still, he was an invited guest, so he simply waited behind the line of people to get in! He leaned over and snuck a peek at Fred, much closer to the door than he! Sadly, his own event-planned prior had gotten rained out, but he believed the Christmas teachers had made special arrangements! He couldn’t help but to feel guilty- she had done all the work, too! He deemed he would be as helpful as possible, starting now!
Button: She'd jerked back at the sudden blackout, bringing her axe across her chest defensively. After the lights flickered back on, she sighed, carefully brushing her temporarily straight, inky hair back over one eye. "The lights? Yeah, what was up with that?"
Hans: He put his hands behind him and raised and feel on his heels, “Oh sure! I love to help!!” When she turned his head, he let out an impressed “Ooooh!~” Where could he learn to sew like that RIGHT NOW? Still, he raised a hand to his chin and rubbed it. “Aber ja, fraulein! What does she look like?”
Blade: gave Franz a once over...he looked liked death but she decided not to say anything. "hm, oh I'm a weeping angel. There kinds these villain things from an old favorite show of mine. Basically evil alien things that can only move when your not looking and turn to stone angels when you do." She smiled over in hans's direction. 'I see somthings never change. Seriously though is college that bad? I remember some colleges from the human world and they seemed pretty chill."
Franz: He scratched the back of his hair, “But like, how would they even get anywhere? I mean, people are literally watching you all the time, ja?” Maybe things were different in the human world? It sounded pretty messy over there though, so he never gave it much thought. “I guess it’s not that bad all of the time, but when it rains, it pours dude.” He swirled his punch a bit. “Anyway, how have things been with you then, Blade?”
Sweetie: This time she outright beamed under his praise. "You're too kind." Truthfully it would be a bit hard to pull that sort of thing off unless one had either a very high pain tolerance or cloth skin, as she did. " Button is somewhat shorter than me. She has long hair, it's black right now..." She'd helped her paint it, in fact. "She's dressed as an... onryo, she said? I haven't the slightest idea. Something from one of those horror films she's always watching."
Meredith: taking in the sight of the girls (plastic) axe she felt a bit stupid. "oh...the lights? I'm afraid that was me..your axe startled me and well." She gestures up to the lights
Emma: Coming up with a costume had been hard! She wasn’t one for scary stories and was too busy to do any research. John had suggested she go as their mother, but she felt it wouldn’t be well known enough. Then party day had come and well… she still didn’t have a costume! So emergency plan c was put into action: a ghost! An old sheet and a pair of scissors made the perfect team for her costume, and though she knew it was super lame, it was still better than nothing. She slipped by the empty table and into the cafeteria, thankful that Fred wasn’t there to judge her.
Button: At being informed that she successfully scared at least one person on her way in, Button beamed like it was Christmas and her birthday all in one go. "REALLY?" Her focus shifted fairly quickly. She blinked. "You can turn off the lights? How did you do that?"
Hans: He nodded, “Oh! Black hair, okay! That shouldn’t be too hard!” He took her hand and bounded away until noticing kinda a lot of people with black hair?? He scratched his head over at Button and Meredith, until finally leading Sweetie over to Crimson! “Hiya!!”
Blade: She nodded her head in consideration of his answer. "well, you have to look away at some point and the moment you do..." she grined, for a moment not picturing the show but her younger self sneaking up on the 'high, mighty and untouchables'. Shaking her head she answered his real question. "oh same old same old, school trying to piece together my memories. I have made a new friend though from Halloween, Hallow, he's kinda shy but---is that Geoffrey dressed as a twilight character?"
Geoffrey literally ran out the door, trying his best not to scream. It worked. A little. Okay, it didn't, he screamed like a cherub as he ran away. He wouldn't be back.
Crimson blinked, "Uh, Hi."
Franz: “Creepy.” It wouldn’t be so bad, but the fact she was supposed to be an angel gave him the creeps. One of his gloved hands felt for his rosary inside his pocket. “Same old stuff, then? Yeah, memories can be pretty hard.” He remembered that being a problem for her last time they chilled. Hollow sounded really familiar, but he couldn’t think of a face. He turned to look for Geoffrey, but at that point he was already gone! “I don’t know what that is, but to be honest, his outfits don’t surprise me anymore!” Franz had seen some stuff man. Stuff that should never be worn.
Meredith: "hm? Oh I'm a shade. I'm sort of made of shadows. My essence spreads out..I don't really turn out the lights so much as block them out." She explained holding out her arm and demonstrating as her 'arm' completely shadowed a plate of food next to them. Before re-condensing.
Sweetie: Blinking in return, she glanced between Hans and Crimson. "...Hello. Have you seen Button?"
Button: Button's hands opened, dropping the axe with a surprisingly solid 'thump'. Thus freed, her hands snaked up to cup either side of her face, eyes wide.
Cain: Having seen a bit of a commotion, he took this as a chance to approach the door and wait to be judged. He couldn't help but be nervous, even though he'd put a lot of work into his costume...! He didn't know how Fred would take it! Or Haar for that matter... He reached up to rub his face nervously before remembering the copious amounts of eyel
iner and eyeshadow he'd had to use and withdrawing his hand nervously. When it was his turn, he made his best 'Muahahaha!' face as he awaited her judgment.
Crimson: "Button...? Oh yeah I've met her before..." she looked around "Sorry I don't think i've seen her tonight her."
Button: "That. Is. The. Most. Amazing. Thing. Everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr," she declared in something akin to a fervent whisper, taking her hands off her own face to grab either side of Meredith's.
Meredith: to say she was surprised at the random face grabbing was an understatement as yet again she dissipate causing the girls arms to go through her for a moment before retuning to the same position. "oh why thank you. It's not really that special though. My name's Meredith by the way and yours?"
Button: Upon her hands actively slipping -through- Meredith's person, she retreated them rapidly, staring at her fingers in a moment of pure awe. Her visible eye slowly drifted back up towards Meredith. "I'mButtonyou'reamazingweshouldbefriendscanwebefriends"
Hans: He looked terribly confused. “YOU’re not Button, then?” Well, that was 1/3! “If YOURE not Button, who are you then?” He tilted his head. “WHOA are those claws??”
Blade: she hummed in agreement before smiling. "I DID find something out though. Something that's not all that important but important all the same...want to know." Her grin was probably border lining creepy in her costume but like she gave a fork on the left. She had only 'recoverd' this little tidbit recently when she had met up with an old friend after sneaking into the human world and receiving an old file on herself so she had yet to tell anyone. It contained only the minimal basics, most of which she already knew but there was one thing she found kinda interesting.
Sweetie: Wait was -that- why he'd led them over here? "N-no, Button is a doll, like me... She would have stitches on her?" Trying to be helpful, she held up one hand and turned it sideways, showing off the neat line of bright red stitches going up the side of her hand. "Button's Thread is white, though."
She smiled "You can call me Crimson." She smiled "Yeah, I'm supposed to be a dream demon named Freddy Krueger"
Meredith: she only caught maybe 1/3 of that but got the general idea and smiled brightly. "why yes Button, I would like that very much." She sound polite and curdious on the out side. But on the inside she was a mass of 'aw mother of night yes! A friend outside of the shade nobility Frick yes!'
Sweetie: "Oh, nonono, it shouldn't be that much of a problem!" She accompanied her words with a nervous fluttering of both hands. "There aren't too many people here, and she wouldn't miss this for her life; I'm sure she's here."
Franz: “Oh uh…” He couldn’t help to wince at her grin. Man, he was usually good with this kind of stuff on the outside, but internally, he was scared shitless by pretty much everything. “Yeah, tell me!” Yeah, please stop smiling like that!!!
Hans: “Whoa!!” How did he not see that!? Actually, he doesn’t see a lot anyway, but still! “Oh! Okay! Uh…That sounds good!” More people helping would make it easier! “Hallo Crimson!”
Fred: She chased after Geoffrey, yelling, “I VANT TO SUCK YOUR BLOOD” as she ran through the doors. She chuckled as his screams faded and strolled back to her seat. She cracked her knuckles loudly before peering up at whoever was next. Which was Harvey of course. Wait, two Harveys?! Her blood froze and she could only stare at him- them- with wide eyes. Even better was the realization that her bat face was still present, and she forced herself to concentrate on making her features normal again. She eventually spoke in a harsh whisper, “Hello and welcome to the party. You- er- both can go inside if you please.”
Crimson: She nodded "Hi...Uh..I don't think i caught your guys names."
Sweetie: "Oh! Oh, I'm Sweetie. It's wonderful to meet you." She bobbed her head politely, strawberry curls bouncing with the motion.
Emma: Was that Geoffrey screaming? She would’ve gone to see if it hadn’t been for the dhampir following him. The last thing she wanted was to be thrown out! Geoffrey would just have to handle it himself. She spied Franz and Hans, and figured she could go bother them for a bit. A sudden idea came to her and she smiled mischievously. She crept along the corners of the room until she was behind Hans, trying to stifle her laughter. Soon she was close enough and she cried “BOO!” while putting her hands up menacingly. The laughter she’d been holding in rang out, and she was almost doubled over at her own joke.
Hans: He smiled at Crimson and gave her a neat little bow. Dressing fancy made him act fancy! Or at least, he would if there wasn’t so much Easter-dye blood!! He was just about to speak when SOME HELLISH FIEND WAS BEHIND HIM!?!? He whirled around and jolted! He froze before realizing it was Emma, and then gave her puppy eyes. “Emmmmaaa! That wasn’t nice at all!!” He could have pissed himself!! In his fancy clothes!!
Meredith: while talking to button she noticed a familiar duck in the comer of her eye. "Eggy?" she called out
Haar: He gave Cain a quick glance, and then doubletaked! “Candy Man!! Did you really?” He let out a fine laugh. “I’m flattered!” He couldn’t help but to add, in a playfully sarcastic tone, “Just know the original piece is always valued more!” He gave Cain a smile, “I jest, I jest! You make a fine me, if I do say so myself!!” He smiled at Cain for a moment before stopping at the door and catching eyes with Fred. ‘Ah! Ms. Winnifred! Excellent!” He offered his hand to shake. “Thank you immensely for allowing our students to your gathering!” +
Emma: She let out a few more laughs before noticing her sheet had fallen off. She picked it up and threw it over her again, adjusting it so she could see through the eye holes. "S-sorry Hans, it- haha- was just t-too good- pff- to pass up!" she managed between giggles.
Cain grinned- not unlike how Haar did!- and said, "I merely dressed as the spookiest thing I knew." He was going to wink, but he was permanently winking right now. How did one-eyed people live without winking??? He merely made his way into the party instead, thanking the dhampir on his way by quietly. Her vibes weren't what he needed, freankly. She was super tense for some reason. He made his way to his usual spot, hovering around the snack bar- in this case, actually hovering! Haar never did do much walking, it seemed... And he had a part to play!
Eggy: She jumped for joy at hearing her name being called. She waved to Meredith before looking around. She had gotten quite bored waiting for Fred to give her the okay to come in. Besides, she figured she could sneak in. Her small stature had helped her get away with a few things in the past. She ran up to Meredith.
Meredith smiled at Eggy. "I take it you found your way back to the enemy side in capture the flag?" she asked curious if her directions had been helpfull
Eggy: She nodded, moving the mask on her head forward a bit too much. She lifted her head back up and adjusted it. "Oh yes! And before sunrise too!"
Meredith: she chuckled. "that's good I was worried you'd gotten lost again when I left. So what's your costume?" she asked the girl looked to be dressed as some kind of deranged robot chicken but one could never be to sure
Fred: She glared at four eyes after realizing that he was the second Harvey. She could only assume he was behind the party merge, and she vowed to get her revenge later. But not now! She raised her eyes to Harvey again, who was holding out his hand. She took it like it was made of glass and carefully shook, quickly retreating when the gesture was finished. His hand was so cold! She looked back and forth between the wall and his missing eye, slightly cringing. “My pleasure, I suppose. You can call me Fred. Only my mother called me Winifred.”
Eggy: "Oh. I'll give you a hint.." She took two cute little steps back. She looked around to make sure she wouldn't bump into anyone. She sprawled her wings out and let out a blood curdling scream.
Haar: He laughed, “Whatever works! Winifred suits you, however!” He felt as if there was another name she went by, but he couldn’t think of it. Perhaps an alias? A secret identity?? Interesting! After their handshake, he gave her a low bow. “Ah yes! Back to business! You are doing me a grand favor, so in return, I am willing to lend a hand where ever I can!” That’s what the man of bug juice did, wasn’t it? Helping children? Or…maybe it was stealing them. He couldn’t remember, but either way! “Act as if I am your humble servant, if you please!” He gave her a grin. He was quite excited to make a Halloween friend! Crispin was…well… New company was always nice!!
Meredith: it took her moment but she finaly got it. She used to like the game as a child (i.e watching walkthroughs) "Chica the chicken?"
Eggy: She beamed. Her performance was good! "Yes!"
Meredith: "very nice costume Eggy." She complimented "so how are you doing."
Blade: after taking a moment to survey the party she felt her stomach silently grumble and turned to get some food. "so I heard that the university has clubs, have you joined any?" she asked Franz, she hated to crowd around the poor guy but so far he was the only one she knew besides Hans
Eggy: She shrugged. "Alright..I guess. I was kind of hoping to..dance a little?" She looked over Meredith. "Not that I was asking..but I was kinda asking." She blushed a little. "So..how are you?"
Sinsir: After his approval, he walked inside, heading over towards the snack table. There were a number of sweets, which was one of the wonderful things about Halloween, and Valentine's too. He looked around nervously, wondering if Annice was here yet. They'd only been officially dating for a little over two weeks, but it had been the best time of his life. But he felt odd about seeing her tonight, he wasn't certain how he would feel about seeing Annice in a scary costume
As if on cue, Annice was making her way to the doors to the cafeteria. She hadn't heard much about what was going on, just that there was a party and Halloween was a time for dressing up! She was looking forward to seeing Sinsir, but wasn't sure what to expect of the party. She, in her flowing dress, strolled right past the preoccupied Fred and into the party.
Cici: She nervously walked up. She had actually been excited about the party set to happen at the Academy, and had been quite disappointed when it hadn't happened. The University, and lots of the people in it, were quite intimidating to her, however. But in the end she had decided to come anyway. She tugged at the small red cape around her shoulders. Bridget had told her the fairytale, picked up from Mother Goose in Easter town, and Cici had thought the girl had sounded adorable, and had done her best. her skirt was black with red and green ribbons, poofing outwards around her knees. The knees which were knocking together as she approached the door, clutching the small basket in her hands and hoping no one would try and scare her.
Meredith: she blinked a couple of times. Dance? Oh she wished. She relay was good if she was honest, if it weren't for her having to take over for her parents in leading the shade community she would probably have majored in dance if not minored. She was a bit self conscious though...aw what the heckle-speckle. "sure why not."
Eggy: She bowed and held out her wing. "Then may I have this dance?"
Fred: This was way to familiar and she could not deal. So instead she started laughing and backing away. "Great, great, just um, watch thenkids yeah? Cool, I'll be righttt back!" Before he could respond she ran past and down the hall.
Sinsir: Standing at the snack table, he turned and blinked in surprise. Why was Annice dressed as an adorable.. princess? He walked over to her. "Hello, Miss Annice! You look wonderful, if a bit surprising!"
Haar: He was taken back a bit! He had really thought he sounded pretty pleasant! Fair enough though! He took a step to talk but stopped when she flew off. Instead, he just slumped down into a chair by the entrance. So very strange!
Annice: She smiled even more brightly and warmly at Sinsir than she did anyone else- which was saying something! She took a step to close the distance between her and Sinsir and reached forward to take his hand with a giggle! "Thank you! I don't know what you mean by surprising though." She looked around. Everyone was... kind of... terrifying??? Even Eggy...! "Unless I missed something?" She turned her head quickly to look around the room, hair turning with her as she did, giving her an even more perfect princess-like presence. "Oh dear, I have a feeling I did miss something! I thought being Snow White might be cute, but..." She looked up at Sinsir, puzzled.
