Alice: She couldn't help but to laugh while she was twirled. He really WAS great fun, she had to admit!! Such a nice change! She lightly gripped the open door and and looked back him. "Well, thank you, kind sir!! I shouldn't be too long, I hope!~" With that she was gone in a second, well beyond the closed door. Her brow furrowed. He was an empath, she could assume, seeing as he had 'sensed negative emotions' radiating off of Fred. It couldn't be too off the bat (pun intended YES), seeing as he obviously hailed from Christmas Town; Not to mention she wasn't exactly sure how thick the doors were, so she had to be pretty careful in executing whatever she planned to do... which, as this is point, was to merely scope out the situation.
Her brows raised as she saw Fred, hugging herself in a corner, soaking wet. Well, THIS was unexpected! As sarcastic as her instinct told her to be, she merely bit her lip and looked down at her. She looked so young! It was hard to believe this girl was a felon. Still...you really can't judge by looks. Alice knelt down to her, her face expressionless. If she was too nice it very well could be taken the wrong way, so perhaps an approach Fred was used to would work better. She reached into her coat pocket and produced a box of cigarettes and offered them to her. "You look like you're in need of a break there, my feathered friend."

Fred: She had heard them coming down the hallway, and as hard as she willed them to leave her be, they hadn't. It was humiliating, Alice seeing her like this. It was too late though, they'd found her, so she pulled a cigarette from the box and put it between her lips. "You got a light?" she sniffled. She rubbed the corners of her eyes, probably messing up her make up even more. She was so done with this crying thing. People probably thought she was a sap or emo or something. The truth was that she was terribly happy. A happy that filled you up to your eyeballs and made you leak those goddamn happy tears. Honestly, she could kiss Alice now she was so happy. But her happy was mixed with anger, anger that she'd been fooling around in the human world while Harvey had been in Halloween town this whole time. Such strong emotions after so long made her feel crazy.
Morgan: She squinted at the pastel covered teacher. SHE WAS GOOD. After flicking off yet another pin, she declared, "Never have I ever painted an Easter egg!"

((Cain's kinda just. Standing outside. Not really doing anything haha))
Annice: She had been invisible??? Well, this was no good at all!! Annice wasn't good at winning this game, she was horrible at losing it!! Her eyebrows tilted upwards as she smiled slightly and took another pin off. She had indeed painted many Easter eggs. She tried to think of something else ridiculous. "Never have I ever..." She thought and looked around the room for a moment. Who had been here earlier? One Christmas teacher, two Halloween teachers, one Easter teacher, and then Morgan and the other woman... Alice. Where were they from? Morgan was wearing lots of red, right? So she was probably from Valentine's Day! But, she said she had been invisible before, so maybe she was actually a Halloween town ghost or something... But wait, she couldn't be from Halloween town, because there were two other Halloween teachers already! Perfect! "Never have I ever been to Halloween Town!"

Haar: He felt drool coming from his mouth. Sweet JACK this was boring! Obviously Morgan would want another rematch, and then another! Pins flying left and right, he decided he could very well get up and go unnoticed. Carefully sliding up and floating to the door, he slipped out. Ah!~ Peace and quiet!....It was terribly boring too. He started to float down the hallways aimlessly until he saw his striped friend. He was surprised to see his female friend gone!! Oh dear, what did THIS entail? He floated over. "Candy Man!" He landed a few feet away. Cain looked all right, sure enough! THAT was a good sign. "Did you entourage fly off? Hahaha!"
Alice: She raised an eyebrow. Someone, somewhere had just made a terrible pun...she could feel it... BUT! She had to concentrate!! Alice pursed her lips. "Why, of course!!" She produced a lighter and lit Fred a cigarette, and then proceeded to light one for herself too. She slumped down next to her, just far enough to stay dry herself. Wet feathers meant a bad time. "So, what is it that's biting at you?"

Morgan: Taking off a pin, she noticed the two left. She was going to lose, she felt it. Her cheeks flushed blue. She really hated losing! She thought long and hard. Easter people liked animals right? Well except for that one kid... Anyways! Maybe, HOPEFULLY, this lady worked with animals! It seemed possible! Looking hard at Annice, Morgan said, "Never have I ever worked with animals!" She crossed her fingers and hoped it would work.
Fred: She raised an eyebrow at Alice and took a drag from her cigarette. "You think I'd tell you?" She blew out smoke, avoiding Alice only because it was she who'd given her the cig. Her ears perked up as she heard a voice in the hallway. When she realized who it was she started freaking out. He could not see her like this. And anyways, what would she do? Go up to him and say "Hey Harvey! Haven't seen you in a hundred years or so, yeah? So what happened with the whole "death by hanging" situation?" No that was a terrible idea. Gulping down her pride, she averted her eyes from Alice. "Look, I need a favor. I need you to smuggle me out of here in my bat form. Can you do that for me ol' pal?" She clasped her hands together and gave the sweetest look she could.

Annice: She HAD been to Halloween Town? Annice was starting to feel really bad! She didn't know this person at all, and she didn't want her to dislike her because of this!!! She sighed, and when she heard her next guess she shrugged light-heartedly and took a pin off, placing it carefully on the desk by her others. She was so out of things to guess! Why was this so hard? "Never have I ever..." she thought, tapping her finger on her chin and looking up at the ceiling, feeling Morgan's stare and trying to avoid it. "...been succumbed by drunkenness?" Morgan didn't seem like the type!
Cain: He laughed a bit at Haar's pun, knowing full well about the Dhampiric teacher and nothing about Alice in that regard. "No, but wouldn't that be batty?" He laughed at himself for a second before clearing his throat light-heartedly. "Anyway, no, Miss Loveless went in the ladies' room and Miss Ack--" He shook his head, "Miss Alice went in to check. I'm mostly making sure there's no... damage done to the school." He didn't know it, but he was a little too late for that. "Where are Morgan and Miss WeiBe?"

Alice: She inhaled, and held her cigarette as classy as possible. She didn't think Fred would be much of a talker anyway, but the smoke DID seem to calm her down a tad. She hoped this would kick start the meeting, hopefully. Alice was so excited to meet the other teachers, and even though Fred and her had a rough start, seeing her like this almost hurt. She half considered it a way to get her beloved wardrobe back, but after careful consideration, it was probably for the best Fred just owe her one. Or not. She'd do her a favor for free, this time...
She raised her eyebrows and tilted her head to the side. "Oh, I suppose I can do that! Just remember that next time you feel the urge to crow, all right?" She meant that in both a 'bragging' and 'revealing' sense. What a beautiful play on words, she'd have to write that down!!! "Where do you intend on going? Do you have further interest in our meeting?" Most likely not, she figured, but she might as well ask! She pulled open her jacket. "Hop right in! If you happen to see a crow in there, would you do me a favor and take care of it?" Her face sunk. That, actually, was not a joke. Birds...
Haar: He looked at Cain wide eyed. Why did he laugh at him?? He only asked a question... He shook his head left to right. "That was terribly unfunny, Candy Man." He crossed his arms and smiled at his friend, "Miss Alice!! A first name basis already, my friend?" All teasing aside, that was pleasant to hear!! Haar couldn't help but to bring a finger to his lip. "Damage?? I haven't done anything yet! As for our coworkers, they are still at the pin flicking." He nodded again, "They could play until school ENDS, I dare say."

Morgan: Morgan noted Annice's shrug. She didn't care about winning, did she? Morgan blushed more when she realized how competitive she was being. She took a pin off and carefully set it on her lap. She didn't need to win this stupid game, she just really wanted to win! She sighed and smiled bashfully at Annice. "You know what, you win. I mean, you would have anyways considering I have one pin left and you have some magic physic powers or something." She held out her hand. "Good game. Or games. Sorry for being such a punk!"
Fred: Oh god that PUN. She almost took back her request in fear that Alice's punny-ness would rub off on her. Instead she said, "Really? Thanks man!" She winked and jumped off the ground, feeling herself get smaller and smaller. She glided back down to the ground and looked up at the now huge Alice. "I don't think going back is a great idea right now, ya feel?" She sprung up onto Alice's leg and crawled up into her coat, finding a nice little pocket to sit in. "Why the fuck would you have crows in your jacket? You know what, I'm just going to retract that question and say I don't care right now."

Cain: "Haar, you wound me," he said, jokingly, putting a hand to his chest dramatically. "I'm unfunny? That's just low." He tsked a few times before scratching his neck and looking away. "Ah, yes. She insisted, actually!" he admitted. "Otherwise I probably would have called her Miss Ackerman for quite some time, I'm afraid. You know me." He nodded. "Yes, I wondered about that." He blinked a few times when he realized that a very large amount of the emotions coming from the restroom were just... they were still there, but they were more... compact? Maybe? He wasn't sure if he knew how to describe it. He heard footsteps approaching them, though, so he turned his head toward the door expectantly. "Ah, there we are," he commented to no one in particular. "Seems there may be movement."
Annice: Annice blinked a few times at her at first. Yes, she was a bit nervous, but only because she was afraid Morgan would dislike her if she won. Most people cared about winning! It wasn't as if she offended her or anything! "Oh, not at all!" she said, shaking Morgan's hand in reply. "I'm the oldest of seven- I'm used to competition. As for having... magic psychic powers... None at all." She smiled nervously. It might be best not to admit that she was trying to let her win. "Anyway, you did do quite well!" she said brightly. "How can I contest the fact that I have blonde hair or freckles?" she laughed light-heartedly before looking around to see an empty room. "Did we chase everybody off?"

Haar: His eye widened, "Oh, I'm sorry, brother!" He put a hand on his heart, "I didn't mean to offend, muahahaha!!" He didn't want to hurt Cain, they had bonded so well recently!! Still, Cain seemed to be in a pretty good mood, it was nice to see!!! He looked over to the door, and then back at Cain. He wasn't sure he wanted to know what he meant by 'movement' there, so he just..wasn't going to ask...
Alice: She rubbed her cigarette out onto the wall and flicked it in the trash can. THAT would have to be one of the many secrets to be kept from her coworkers! Speaking of which, she was sure the two men were still at the door. She couldn't imagine how on Earth she could sneak out and be back in time without them noticing...Until she had a very, very interesting thought. A terrible one, but so, so interesting! She stood up, grin on her face and gave her cohort a light pat. "Where are we off to, birdie? The oceans? Perhaps a sandy beach?" She giggled. She was so terrible! "In all seriousness, my mind draws a blank!" Her grin grew bigger. She had a meeting to attend to after all, and keeping such company close would mean no whispered secrets, wouldn't it?? She opened the door and gave Cain and Haar a warm smile. "Ms. Loveless will be returning with us shortly, I'm sure! Shall we, gentlemen?"

Sinsir: He entered the University, a large plate held carefully in his hands as he made his way to the room Cain had said to convene in. He felt very self conscious for being late, but he had a previous engagement and had warned Cain, after all. He hurried through the hallways as quickly as he could while still balancing his platter. He finally reached the door and knocked lightly, opening it with one hand. Inside he found only Miss. WeiBe and Miss... oh dear, he didn't know her name. From her primarily green and red ensemble, however (and with the firm knowledge that she was not Christmas) he assumed she was the Academy's St Patrick's teacher. Or Cain had hired someone without telling him, despite usually running all the applicants by Sinsir first. He had no idea where the others were.
"Ah... hello, ladies. Am I that late?" he asked, tugging gently at his collar with a sheepish grin.

Morgan: Speaking to Annice, she said, "It looks like-" but was cut off by a new teacher coming in. He wasn't anyone she knew, so naturally she assumed he was from the University. "No, no! The others just stepped out for a minute! It seems your school's Halloween teacher is a little wacky." She got up and held out her hand. "I Morgan Fitzpatrick, but you can just call me Morgan. And-" Looking at Annice, she considered that they may already know each other. So she stopped to let the other lady introduce or not introduce herself.
Fred: She whispered up to Alice, "Anywhere! Anywhere but here!" Her heart dropped when she heard the younger woman resume conversation with the others. She was going to keep her in her, wasn't she? She really wished that she could bite her right now, but that would just give away her hiding spot. Instead she let her anger sizzle as she flipped Alice off with her tiny foot's middle toe. She would have her revenge later when the stakes weren't so goddamn high.

Annice: "Mr. Dyn! It's so good to see you! We were just playing a game while they were gone." She approached him and would have shook his hand if he wasn't holding a platter. "What's this?" she asked brightly. "Don't tell me you brought something!" Why didn't she think of that?
Cain: "Oh, I'm not actually wounded-- it's.. It's a metaphor," he explained quickly. After Alice arrived and spoke, he was a bit confused as to why she had enough emotions for two people coming off of her, but it wasn't out of the ordinary for one person to have a lot of pent-up emotion for themselves. He couldn't think of why she would be angry, though... "Oh! Well, alright! Let's get back to it, then!" Now that Haar was here, he wasn't sure if he wanted to offer her his arm-- also he was worried she was actually angry, so instead he made his way to the door they came from ahead of them every step of the way and opened the door for them to go through, to see Sinsir. "Ah, Sinsir! There you are! I was starting to worry! Sinsir, this is one of your co-workers, Miss Alice Ackerman. And this here is Haar Grimm! I've mentioned him to you before. Haar, Miss Alice, this is Sinsir Dyn, the Christmas Teacher at the University."

Alice: She followed Cain, a bit unsure why he didn't offer his hand again. She was shocked to actually find herself a little disappointed- maybe she had taken things the wrong way earlier. Ah, it could be such a sin to keep one's head in the clouds! Still, she managed to put on a happy face.
She smiled at Sinsir before realizing this man was a cookie. A legitimate cookie. Not a figurative piece of candy. A LEGIT COOKIE. "Goodness, I bet you're sweet, hm?" Hopefully that sounded platonic and buisness-like. She was actually a little weary she might have led the other candy man on. She shook his hand and, after making sure his attention was to Haar, she wiped crumbs off. She prayed she wouldn't get sticky. She, super carefully, whispered to Fred, "Did you SEE that guy? My God."
Haar: He followed Cain, and his cheeks puffed at Sinsir. He started at him for a moment before remembering when they had met. "Oh! You were the cannibal!!" He laughed. "I met you while our dear friend was frozen solid, I believe!! And then you resorted to cannibalism!" He crossed his arms, "It's all right though, I won't judge you!" He might judge him for the whole...cookie thing, but not for cannibalism!
