Scary Monsters: Chapter 4
***Spoilers ahead***
3rd Person's POV:
The Next Day--
"1, 2, 3..." Crewel counts softly to himself the number of students in his classroom. Once he check the list twice and the number of students are the same, he clear his throat, "Alright, you're all here. Let's start homeroom. I have an important announcement today. I would think you all know this, but.... Halloween is a month away." With that the students began to talked excitedly.
"It's finally Halloween. I've been waiting for this!" "I've always dreamrd of spending Halloween at Night Raven College!" "Everyone's all excited at just the mention of Halloween!" Grim said with a smile, "Like Lilia and the ghosts said yesterday. Halloween really is special." "It is! And we're all pumped up and ready to get our scream on for Halloween!" Bobby said excitedly.
"Hey, hey. I only caught a glimpse this morning but some big shit's happened to Ramshackle?" Ace asked, "Apparently Draconia-senpai and Vanrouge-senpai are in high spirits." Deuce said, "Yeah, it was something, hehe..." Matt said, rubbing the back of his neck while sweatdropping. "But it's Halloween-ish, right?" Bryan asked, "Oh, good. That's positive! Glad you guys are having fun." "Well, we love Halloween, Ace. It's our favorite holiday." Joey said, "Halloween's gotta be flashy, after all~" "Speaking of flashy... Did you all buy pumpkins to decorate with yet?" Deuce asked, "No, not yet." Bobby answered as Andie, Bryan, Joey and Matt shook their heads. "They're already at the Mystery Shop. If you want nice looking ones, you have to buy them early." "Ok, we'll buy them once classes are over." Andie said.
"Making jack-o-lanterns up the Halloween vibe instantly~" Ace said, "Ace and Deuce, you're both having fun too. So you're both happy about Halloween too?" Grim asked, "I mean, yeah. Is there anyone who's not pumped about Halloween? I bet even the famously introverted Ignihyde dorm will come out to play too, y'know? And Mr. Serious Deuce-kun, too, ri~gut~?" Ace teasing Deuce who look away in embarrassment, "I-It's certainly a day you can cut loose a little. And wear cool costumes... I don't think there's anyone in Twisted Wonderland, child or adult, who hates Halloween."
Crewel sighs as the chattering from the students continues, "Everyone gets so restless this time of year." With that, he thwacked the air sharply like a whip, "Stay! Be quiet!" the class became quiet, "It is tour first Halloween here, so don't play around. Or do you meant to cast doubt upon my discipline?" the students sat in their seat quietly, not wanting to face Crewel's wrath. "Listen. Halloween is an especially important event for Night Raven College. The "Halloween Week" that is before Halloween... the student body will be holding a stamp rally for our visitors. Each dorm will select a facility on campus to be their stamp rally location and will decorate them appropriately for Halloween."
"It is important, so the students can all participate "in any way they wish" in this event. So, during that Halloween Week there will be visitors from outside the school walking around campus. You do all understand why we take the extensive trouble of opening up for this kind of event?" "Yeah yeah! I know why! So we can get tons of ticket money!" Grim answers excitedly, "Incorrect! Taking money from visitors is out of the question! Touring the campus is free."
"Listen closely. The reason Night Raven College has been able to have such a long history... Is that those that live on this "Philosopher's Isle" understand, cooperate, and look fondly upon the fact that we are cultivating all of you. "Halloween Week" is an important chance to show off the results of our discipline to the locals. We all must focus so as to not expose any laziness!" "A stamp rally, huh. So that's why Lilia was decorating our dorm." Grim said, now understanding why Lilia is decorating the Ramshackle dorm. "Feels like a festival, this is awesome!" "Why're you so surprised about all of this?" Ace asked, "We've been hearing about this from the "Halloween Executive Committee" for ages."
"Eh? Executive committee?" Crewel overheard this and steps in, "To ensure that Halloween run smoothly, every dorm selects student representatives for this committee. The headmaster spoke about this, did he not?" "Not to us." Grim said, referring to Andie, Bobby, Bryan, Joey Matt and himself, "What!?" Crewel turns to Andie to confirm what Grim said is true, "Ms. Williams, have you, Mr. Rodriguez, Mr. Garcia or one of the Watsons not heard about this either?" "Nope." Andie answers with the guys shaking their head, all five of them completely mad the Headmaster didn't tell them shit as always. "Apparently, the Headmaster forgot to tell us... as usual." She growled in anger.
"I see." "How careless can that guy be!?" Ace asked, "Dude, we all know how lazy and useless that Headmaster is, you'd think we'd get used to it by now?" Bobby said, raising his hands up with annoyance, "Ah, but don't worry! Andie-san, Bobby-san, Bryan-san, Joey-san, Matt-san and Grim can ask me anything, they need to know about "Halloween Week". Because... I'm on the Halloween Executive Committee this year!" Deuce said, "Don't brag. It was decided by lottery, after all." Ace said sourly, "Shut up, Ace. It was luck, but dorm head Rosehearts even told me to "do my best", so... I will definitely make Night Raven College's traditional Halloween a success!"
"Thanks Deuce. At least we can count on you." Matt said with a smile. "It's gold that you're eager to do this, but do not let your committee duties be an excuse to ignore your studies." Crewel said, "Y-yes. Of course!" "In any case, do not get too crazy about Halloween, puppies. Bad boys who don't listen don't listen don't get to participate in the party on the 31st." "What!? Did I just hear the word party!?" Grim said in shock.
"On the actual night of Halloween, Night Raven College opens up for a party. As our visitors from outside the school, students, and ghosts all participate, it's a huge huge party." Andie, Bobby, Bryan jaw dropped, they've been in amusement parks, festivals and fairs before and during Halloween, but they've never been to a Halloween party before.
"S-S-so... There'll be tasty food and awesome food and the best food, right!?" "What kinda party would there be without any food Grim?" Bryan said rhetorically, "Apparently catering is ordered from famous chefs so the cafeteria ghosts can have the night off." Deuce said, "Heard that the feast is so big, that it's more than anyone can eat." "Man, Halloween isn't here yet, but I feel stuffed already when you said that." Matt said, "In this one Halloween party pic my brother showed me once, the stuff looked super tasty. It's kinda like our school's prom, a big exciting luxurious event."
"Fnah... a luxurious party! I can't wait for Halloween~!" Grim cheers, "He's probably just excited for Halloween because of the food." Andie said to her best friends and they snickered. "All of you. I am certain the next month getting your costumes and decorations ready will be difficult, but... Let's all make this the best Halloween!" With that, everyone in the classroom cheers in excitement, they all couldn't wait for Halloween to arrive, including our famous first years group; Andie, Bobby, Bryan, Joey, Matt, Grim, Ace and Deuce.
