Name of Class: Your Very Own Halloween Costume!
Professor name: Professor Selene Apophis

General Information: This class is open to Amityville students as well as Horsemen!

Professor Selene has collected far too much memorabilia from her trips to the human world, especially during Halloween. She wants to put some of her collection to good use, by helping out anyone who wants to make an appropriate costume for the all too important Trick or Treating that occurs every Halloween in the human world! You get to keep what you put together here - you may even get to use her costume in her Halloween Helpers Field Trip or one of the Horseman's Trick-or-Treating (Treat only) mission, should you want to!

Mechanics:

Part One
: Picking outfit pieces

There's boxes lined up all in a row, all of which are filled with colorful pieces of costumes from days gone by. You're allowed to pick out four pieces to make a costume, so make it count!

Roll 4d12. If you don't like the pieces you rolled in this option, you are allowed to try again one time! Matching pieces will give you more points!

1. A Witch/Wizard Hat
2. A Witch/Wizard Robe
3. A Broom
4. A Pirate's Hat
5. A Pirate's Tunic
6. A Sword
7. A Skull Mask
8. A Skeleton Bodysuit
9. A Pumpkin Stump Hat
10. A Giant Pumpkin Bodysuit
11. A Blue Fairy Dress
12. Blue Wings

As you can see, 1/2/3 is a match, 4/5/6 is a match, as is 7/8, 9/10, and 11/12. If you manage to match two pieces of an outfit, you get +2 to your final total. If you manage 3 pieces, you get +4 to your final total! If NONE of your pieces match, you get +1 added to your total for originality. Remember you are allowed to roll again if you don't like your first find, but you must roleplay both posts out (minimum 100 words each), and you can choose whichever of the two you like best!

Part Two:

Putting together your costume:


It's time to show Selene what you've chosen! Put the costume on and try to explain to her what you are, even if your pieces mismatch. Are you a pirate fairy? A Skeletal Pumpkin? That's horrifying! You must tell her a story (minimum 200 words) about the character you've created. You can even give it a name, a backstory, and a goal in life! Make it interesting, Selene loves to be enchanted with a good story!

Roll 1d6 with your explanation post. Add the total of this dice, to the points you made in part one. Match your total to the fields below!

Totals:
1-2: Selene is so disappointed in your lack of attention to detail. She doesn't even know if she should let you keep the costume you made.. you clearly don't care about it! (Fail)
3-4: Is.. is your professor about to cry? She looks like she's about to cry.. maybe you should have taken your work more seriously.. (Fail)
5-6: Selene says nothing, but puts a green star sticker on your forehead. For Effort! (Pass)
7-8: Well done! Selene is so enchanted by your story, that she's lost track of what she was doing. Oh, that's right! Giving you an A! (Pass)
9-10: Is.. is your professor about to cry? She looks like she's about to cry.. did you do something wrong? Was your costume not good enough? No, she's just.. so.. proud.. *SNIFF* (Pass)

YOU LOSE/FINISH THIS CLASS WHEN…

You complete the class, whether you pass or fail. You get +1 rp point for completing, and another +1 point if you managed to go over 800 words.

Should you pass, you will get a bonus to the Horseman Trick or Treating (TREAT) EM, or Selene's Halloween Helpers Mission! You also get this neat-o special ability:

Super cool IC ability that you get for passing: You can now magically transform into your halloween costume instantly!

RAFFLE TICKET! You get +1 Halloween Raffle Ticket! Go HERE to claim!

Li Xia was having a very good time, thank you very much. School was fun and she had been doing rather well in it, as far as she was concerned. But this, this seemed like even more fun. They were actually going to be able to dress up for this. Just like the humans did! Wasn't that a novelty? Humans tried so hard to look like Halloween for one night of the year... did that mean they, the students, were dressing up as humans?

The little dragon scrunched up her face and stared at the boxes. She didn't know how to dress up like a human; she'd never seen one before. And while she trusted her teacher to offer only good costume selections, she wanted it to be right. It had to be right. She wanted to have the best costume.

Taking in a really deep breath, Li Xia put her hands on her hips and nodded. "I am going to make the greatest costume!"

Strider wasn't sure if he was having a good time or not. He had in fact only been here a little while, and most of the time it was a roller coaster of drama. One the one hand, teachers actually expected him? to go? to class?? It was very confusing.

On the other hand, there were very hot babes such as the scaly dragon in front of her. Nice.

Strider put on his best sparkle (that is to say, it was just there naturally, because Strider didn't have to try to look good) and slid up to the girl at the boxes. He gave her a toothy grin (emphasis on toothy) and said in his most sultry voice, "Hey~"

Li Xia saw teeth. Lots of teeth. It was a bit impressive, actually. She had respect for people with chompers like that, because teeth were a sign of being tough (as far as she was concerned).

"Hell~o," she said, letting the word drag out and sticking a bit of question on the end of it. She didn't know who this creature with the lovely smile was, did she? Of course not. She'd certainly have remembered them, because of those teeth.

"Are you here for the costume class?"

Strider began pulling things out of the box at random. He really wasn't paying attention at all, because he pulled two tunics out that just got thrown over his shoulders (cover up these abs? No way), a hat that he stuck over his guitar (it was a spooky guitar now, okay?) and a broom that he was using to lean on.

His costume? Being a drop dead gorgeous rockstar, thanks.

"Babe I'm here for you and you alone~" he said shooting her a wink and shoveling this things towards his desk. Nothing like a little desk-to-desk romance.

Li Xia was having fun rifling through the boxes. There were all kinds of interesting things in there- Like the the sword she pulled out immediatly. It wasn't a fancy sword, but it looked real and functional, which made it awesome. The rest of that box had been full of things she didn't like because of color or something else trivial. Like really, why would anyone want to be a giant pumpkin for Halloween? Where was the originality in that? Now, the pumpkin stump had made a lot more sense, since it was basically an accessory. She could use that to dress up her costume.

Which really needed a pop of color anyway, since Li Xia had decided on the skull mask and it's companion skeleton body suit. The black and white would match her tail, and the pumpkin hat her eyes. The sword needed no explanation.

She was just in the middle of contemplating whether or not she should put the body suit on right there when it dawned on her just what Mr. Tooth had said.

"Me?" She asked while turning to him. "Just for me?" She blinked at him, a smile slowly growing on her face. She knew she was awesome, ok. It was about time someone else had noticed. "What exactly can you do for me?"

"I don't think I have to do anything," he said with a sideways grin, pushing part of his hair behind his shoulder. Did he mention he had abs?

Speaking of which, he had to present his "costume" to the teachers. While everyone else had been assembling their pieces, he'd simply left his on his desk. It wasn't so much that he didn't have any ideas, but that he didn't feel like trying. More accurately, as he'd told Li Xia, he didn't need to try at all.

He spun a short story about a magical pirate. Then he pulled his guitar around his shoulder and began playing a short tune for both the professor and the girl he'd been talking to. What was her name again? He'd already forgotten. Or maybe she hadn't told him. Was there a difference?

Naturally he sung his story becuase music coursed through his veins and all that. His song was something about braving the waves of destiny and doing it with magic. It didn't really matter. A few people gave him looks for his story, but most of them were enthralled by the enthusiastic performance.

He even gave Li Xia a wink part way through.

Selene was through the roof with his amazing vocal chords, so distracted that she'd forgotten to go and grade the other students. An A+ earned for him. Obviously. What other grade would he get?

The dragon raised an eyebrow. "Oh," she said. "I see." Even though she really didn't. She did, however, see his performance. Music. He could actually play that guitar. And he could sing. He sang a lovely tale, too. Adventure and drama and all that- she was pretty sure that was what the lyrics had meant. When it was over, Li Xia might have been a little open-mouthed at the whole thing. Color her impressed, Mr. Tooth-guy.

"I will be right back." She wanted a moment to think on her assignment, and mostly she wanted a moment to change because the body suit and the very nice clothes she'd worn to class were not going to be compatible together. Mostly she needed tho think because there was no way she could possibly come up with something as good as what she'd just seen.

By the time she returned she'd thought up a story for her costume (other than she thought she'd look good in it).

This costume,” she said while waving her hand at herself- all skeleton body suit, skull mask, and pumpkin hat, “tells the story of a skeleton warrior who went on to challenge the pumpkin king and take all of his riches. Well not really. See, the pumpkin king was out of town for a while, and the skeleton decided to fill in for him. So with his pumpkin crown,” she gestured to the pumpkin stump hat, “he sat on the pumpkin king’s throne. Now, not everyone like this, so they sent others to challenge him. “ Li Xia raised her nifty sword high. “Using he weapon, the skeleton defeated every challenger. He ruled fairly and justly- Until, of course, when the pumpkin king returned home. The pumpkin king was kind of mad about the whole until the skeleton told him all about how he’d defended the throne from so many people. The pumpkin king asked the court if this was true and when they said yes (they were all bruised and bloody from the fighting) the pumpkin king laughed and clapped and made the skeleton captain of the royal guard. So you see. I am the Skeleton Captain of the Royal Guard.” Li Xia nodded. “Oh and I’m a girl. The skeleton was a girl but it’s hard to tell with skeletons so sometimes people called Sir and she’d cut their heads off for that.”

Li Xia grinned broadly as she finished her tale....only to see that her teacher was not pleased with it. At all. Li Xia's heart was breaking, not because she was letting anyone down..but because she'd failed. She never failed. She could hardly face Mr. Pretty-guy Teeth now, could she?

Luckily she was wearing a skull mask. No one could see the failure on her face as she walked over to Mr. Tooth. "That was a really good song." It had been, or else she wouldn't' have said anything. "Write one for me." She meant for her story, of course. It was a good story ok.

Rather than be supportive or helpful, Strider laughed along with the rest of the class as she spun her silly tale. It was entertaining watching her fail, sitting on his fat pedestal of A+ glory.

When she came back, he just leaned back in his desk chair, hair flopping in that perfect teen pop star way. "Sorry, I only write songs where my heart is." He gave a smile at another girl who was staring at him from across the room, along with a little finger gun pistol. "And my heart is with my fans."

Failure was not something Li Xia was used to, and it was hurting. It was a good story, she had tried. And even the one person who had spoken to her was laughing...and she was pretty sure he'd just told her 'no'. Not in those exact words, but it was a 'no'. She also wasn't used to people telling her that. For a moment she imagined what it would be like to fry them all with lightning, but she knew better. There was a teacher present and all.

"Your fans? Like your famous or something? I've never heard of you. You can't sing to save your life away."

And with that, the little dragon stormed out.

Li Xia's spurning couldn't have meant more than dust on the wind to him. He was already surrounded by more people vying for his attention, and one little dragon wasn't going to bring his blimp ego down.
