Haunted House (Jung's Annual Halloween Party); A Social Event

The administrators at Jung's Academy have developed theories aligning the social relationships between students with their success in wielding their personae and have thus devoted a greater-than-average amount of manpower and resources to making sure that these relationships flourish. As a result, ever since the academy was founded by Lawrence Jung decades ago, the faculty have endeavored to make attendance of the events as desirable as possible. The indoor/outdoor Halloween party was a perfect example of this dedication to excellence.

The entire event occupied a long stretch of elevated and sided walkway from the science labs to the gymnasium. Orange and black banners had been strewn from lightpost to lightpost, dotted with smiling Jack-o-Lanterns. The decorations were somewhat childish and simple, but something about the atmosphere of the school, a combination of its students and secrets, gave the scene an oddly supernatural feel. Faculty and students wander busily across the setting, some dressed as ghoulish figures, others ghoulish enough in their own appearance that there is no need for a costume to aid the effect.

One such ghoulish figure took a spot beneath a hanging lantern, tapping a small microphone to get everyone's attention briefly. The figure, a tremendously tall but amazingly thin man with red hair that flared out from his head like a fire, seemed strange enough to win a prize for best costume, but anyone who'd been around the school enough would know that the man was Perry Pinkerton, the school's guidance counselor and a professor in psychology. His ordinary dark red suit had been swapped out for a black one, but other than that, he was the same as always. His unnaturally bulbous and nervous eyes stood out from his face and twitched oddly while his good-natured smile dominated the lower portion of his face. He tapped his feet nervously and his long, pointed ears twitched with similar anxiety.

"Your attention! Attention, students!" he pleaded, waving his arm in the air to gather the attention of all present (it wasn't hard, given his height and appearance). "I'm very pleased at our turnout this year. The hard work of our senior students has helped tremendously, as well as the input from all of our faculty. Everyone's really made this party wonderful, just wonderful! I know you all get a fair helping of ghosts and ghoulies each night, but I hope that tonight you'll be able to unwind and take it all a little less seriously for once. Think of it as a pep rally! We'll laugh at those monsters until they don't frighten us at all, eh hehehe... eheh...!" he chuckled in his jittery voice. Speeches had never been his strong point, no matter how much he loved to make them. "Well, I'll let you all enjoy the festivities!" he finished, putting up his microphone.

The festival offered students quite a number of opportunities...

Halloween Festival areas:

- Speak with Principal Jung @ science labs
- Purchase concessions @ walkway to science labs
- Speak with Professor Perry @ center of walkway
- Costume booth @ walkway to gymnasium
- Haunted house @ gymnasium

((You can move around between areas through your posts. Moderation will occur regularly, as often as possible, until the event's conclusion. There is no limit to how many people can be in any area. You don't have to wait for the moderator to post (for example, if you're just chatting with a friend), but most of these areas include situations in which you will want to wait for a moderator response.))

-----------------------------------

The gym and sports facilities were converted into a haunted house for the purpose of the carnival using a wealth of black cloth and some standing props. From the outside it didn't look terribly intimidating; the atmosphere of Jung's at night was more eerie than the house was. Yet, everyone emerged looked at least reasonably thrilled. There must be something deceptive...

A shabbily dressed teacher in a fading blue suit with brown patches at the elbows sat at a booth in front of the haunted house. His messy black hair, unshaven face, and lopsided glasses made it look as though some drunkard had wondered up and had a seat there. Unabashedly, he crossed his arms in front of him and lay his head down upon the desk, as if intending to fall asleep. Unfortunately, students would probably need to talk to him before entering.

Ted arrived at the Haunted House a little earlier than Alexander and Tristan had, and he spent the moments he would be waiting for them looking over the converted gym. He wasn't really impressed with the exterior, but saw 2 girls and a boy leave from the exit, looking exhilarated. Something was obviously up.

Ted checked his watch again, determined that he still had time, and walked over to the teacher, and asked "I'm interested in heading in. What's the procedure about doing that?"

Alexander followed Ted toward the retrofitted gym, wondering exactly what the haunted house would be like. He noticed a few different students emerging from the gym; a couple of the girls looked frightened and a few boys looked thrilled if not scared. The outside of the gym wasn’t terribly intimidating, but Alex guessed that the inside was at least well decorated.

“Hm,” Alex murmured almost to himself. “I wonder what this is going to be like.”

He followed Ted up to the teacher who was manning the entrance and waited to hear the teacher’s answer to Ted’s question. The girl he had spoken to earlier claimed that the haunted house was a must see. Alex felt a little bubble of excitement stir within him as he waited his chance at the haunted house.

“If the students leaving are any indicator,” Alex said. “This is looking to be pretty entertaining. We’ll have to thank that girl for the head’s up.”

Despite the Haunted House's questionable exterior, Tristan found himself becoming quite excited. Halloween wasn't widely celebrated in his homeland, so he was eager to fully experience it here. His Romantic heart beat fast as he followed Alex and Ted, wondering what artificial terrors awaited them. The expressions of the students leaving the house rose his expectations.
"Indeed," Tristan agreed with Alex. He adjusted his cape, wondering if it was natural to be this happy about having the crap scared out of you.

The man at the front desk shot to attention, looking oddly somehow intimidated by the students. "Oh, right, uh... entry is free! Go right on in. I'm just here to uh... record the popularity of the event," he muttered, writing down some numbers on a clipboard. "A-And to make sure we don't overcrowd the gym. Er, the haunted house, that is. Apparently... Nobody's in there right now! Huh. That's surprising. Well, anyways, go on in whenever you want," he finished, adjusting his glasses and then stooping in so close to his writing that it seemed as though it would be impossible for him to see the paper. He held his arm protectively over the clipboard, as though he didn't want them to see what he was writing...

The decorated double doors to the gym were just a few steps away.

"Well," Alex said as he walked toward the entrance of the haunted house. "Shall we? There is no time like the present, after all."

Alex waited for his companions to approach before wrapping his fingers around the handle of the gym's double doors. He steeled himself for whatever scares might await him and, with bated breath, he opened the door to the haunted house and walked inside.

((Entering the Haunted House. OOOoooOOoOooOOOoOoOoOooooo))

"Thank you sir," Tristan said politely to the attendent, though the man's nervous behavior made him slightly suspecious.
"Right," Tristan nodded to Alex. The boy tightened his cape, and made sure his hat was securely on his head, unsure of what lay beyond the door and if it would cause him to loose any of his costume accessories. With a confident and excited air he followed after Alex and entered the darkness of the Haunted House.

Ted looked oddly at the teacher's clipboard, but he couldn't really make out what he was writing. Deciding that it wasn't really that important, Ted thanked the teacher, cracked his knuckles, and followed Tristan and Alex into the Haunted House. "This... should be interesting," Ted murmured as he made his way in.

The students went on through the doors past the strange acting teacher, finding the inside dimly lit. A small "room" had been enclosed with makeshift walls, painted with an expert hand to look like high-varnish, black wood. A small desk sat at the center with a red book sitting upon it; supposedly a visitor's check-in. The book was open to about its center, where someone had attempted to write several unintelligible names in blood. A voice, presumably projected over some kind of speaker system, welcomed the visitors.

"Good evening, gentleman. Please make yourselves at home," the voice chuckled, imitating its best classical vampire accent. "Remember that everything you see before you is an illusion. Ignore the scent of the fresh blood, oozing from the very crevices of our walls. Pay no mind to the glint of predatory eyes and fangs, gleaming in the darkness. Dismiss the sounds of wailing... the echoes of torment! So long as you dwell in my house, I shall treat you as my guest, but I cannot say the same for my company..."

As if on cue, a wail of agony broke out amidst a very nearby-sounding series of slashes through meat. A little over-dramatic and cheesy, perhaps, but somebody was clearly putting a lot of enthusiasm into it, at least. Up ahead the students saw that the haunted house branched into three paths: two doors and one side hallway. The side hallway, they recalled, would probably lead into what was ordinarily a locker room. The others would lead out onto the gym floor, presumably. Each way should provide an exit.

Tristan hesitated inside the first room. As he leaned forward to look closer at the book upon the desk, the vampire voice came to life, making him flinch back. He studied the cieling as he listened, as if he might find the source of the voice. He knew it was fake, and he was old enough to dismiss everything and get through the house calmly.
But, where was the fun in that?
Tristan's strong imagination stirred, and he let it go. The intercome voice didn't sound so static-y as if it were coming through a bad intercome system now, the fake blood on the book went a little darker, a little more real, and when the screaming came, Tristan jumped. As corny as the house might become, Tristan could count on his imagination to fill in the blanks. This was going to be fun.
It appeared it was now their move. Tristan studied the three pathways carefully. "Are we to split up then? Or stay together?" He asked his companions.

Theodore found the faux-vampire voice to be kind of cheesy, but he jumped a little when he heard the scream. He took a moment to compose himself, and softly said "Alright, I'll admit it. The scream got to me a little." He noticed that Tristan was getting into it, and shrugged, deciding maybe he'd try that too. After all, they were here to have fun, right?

When Tristan asked, Ted replied "I personally want to head over to the Locker Room. And let's stay together for now. At least the teacher outside will know that all 3 of us are out, right?"

Alex was a little creeped out by the vampire voice coming from overhead, especially when coupled with the guest book signed in what he could only assume was meant to be human blood. He could tell that whoever had designed the haunted house had gone all out in terms of atmosphere. The agonized scream came on cue with the end of the vampire’s greeting and Alex jumped a bit in response. It was over the top, but it held a visceral feeling to it.

“Yeah,” Alex said in response to Ted’s suggestion. “Perhaps we should stick together for now. Besides,” Alex rationalized. “This event is free so we can always come back later and check out the other paths.”

Alexander pushed his way forward, moving toward the path that lead to the locker rooms.

Tristan nodded in agreement, the first time through would be better in a group, and safer as well. "Right then, lets see what awaits us in the Locker Room." Tristan didn't think it would take much. Locker rooms were scary enough as it is, at least in his opinion. He fell in behind Alex, taking one last glance over his shoulder to double check the room, he was expecting something to come in from behind, but all seemed quiet and empty. He reverted his attention back to their destination and stepped inside.

Ted nodded, and gestured to the hallway, murmuring "After you," before following after Alex and Tristan. He glanced around, wondering if the house would try to pull the old "skeleton popping out of a closet trick." This attraction seemed a little more highbrow than that, but Ted wouldn't be surprised if they tried to pull it off at least once. He flexed his fingers a little, just noticing now that they had tensed up in a fist; Ted chuckled to himself, a little embarrassed about his own nervousness. He wondered what the school could possibly have set up in the locker room as he entered it.

The group was surprised to find the area much darker than anticipated as they came around the corner. As they went through, someone or something shut a metal door behind them. They heard the click of something locking. A different voice spoke up, sounding much closer than the previous one. "You're brave to journey into my catacomb! Let's see if your courage holds up as you near my pyre, mwuhahaha!" came a loud, crazed voice from further down the hall. It sounded like a male voice with an accent that indicated the man was most likely Indian. It was a little cheesier sounding than the other one perhaps, but his sentence was punctuated by what looked like a burst of flames further down the hall.

"Well, don't just stand there. Hurry up!" the voice cackled. From the hall unlit hall behind them, another burst of flames erupted. The flames continued to burst, seeming to come closer and closer. A small trail of wall-mounted lanterns led down the hall in front of them, seeming to indicate which direction they should flee into. Could it really be fire approaching them from behind?

Apparently, the locker room had become some kind of crypt. The over-the-top voices continued, causing Theodore to again jump briefly, as he wasn't expecting them (definitely not to sound as close as they were sounding). The fire effects were kind of cool, in Ted's opinion.

Deciding to get into the spirit of the house, Ted shouted back "Face me with whatever horrors you can, Crypt Keeper! I will not back down!" He then moved forward into the hall, making sure to keep his face hidden from Tristan and Alex; it was red with embarrassment. Ted silently berated himself for his challenge a moment ago; he was sure that it made him look stupid.

He managed to stop thinking about it halfway through, and was curious about what was causing the flame-like lights down the hall. He'd know in a few moments, whatever it was.

Life's no fun without a good scare
[ *  *  * ]
Tristan's back went straight and stiff when he heard the door shut and lock behind them. He was frozen and unwilling to move at the onslaught of partial blindness. For some reason he placed his hand on the cardboard handle of his fake sword, as if it would be any help at all.
The voice wasn't so bad, though the fact that it sounded so close made his skin tingle, but Tristan almost cried out in fear when flames bursted to life, breaking the darkness that filled the room. And . . . were the flames coming closer?!
Tristan almost made a run for it when the voice ordered them to 'hurry up!' but Ted's procolamtion gave him courage. As silly as he sounded, it was fun to see the other boy get so into it. Tristan laughed nervously and grinned.
"What he said!" the wanna-be Zorro added before jogging forward to catch up with Ted, his cape making a brief bellow behind him as he made his way down the lit hallway. "Come on Alex!" he added excitedly, hoping his nervous friend wasn't too scared.

“Whoa,” Alex muttered to himself as a metal door slammed shut behind him.

A new voice spoke from the darkness, this one much closer and more sinister than the last. It was accompanied by a spout of flames further down the hallway, illuminating the darkness. A second burst of fire appeared behind and a third followed, steadily moving closer. This was getting a little more intense than Alex had been ready for.

Alex’s fingers twitched reflexively as his eyes darted from the hallway in front of him and the approaching flames. The flames concerned him. In such an enclosed hallway, even controlled bursts of flames could steal the air and leave them gasping for breath. If the flames weren’t controlled, well that was just bad news all around. Scarecrows were not exactly fireproof, after all. He didn’t think Zorro or Roosevelt would fare much better.

He heard Ted shout his defiance and Tristan’s halfhearted echo. He turned to glance at his companions and noticed Tristan’s hand tightening around his cardboard sword. Alex instinctively wished he had a weapon of his own. He doubted a melee weapon would be of any use, but a ranged weapon…A bow and arrow or gun or something. That would be useful.

“Yeah,” Alex said in response to Tristan’s urgings. “Yeah, I’m coming.”

Alex followed after his companions, moving in a half-shuffle that allowed him to keep an eye on the approaching flames as he moved closer to the disembodied voice.

“I’ll, uh, I’ll bring up the rear and watch for any ambushes.”

"Ohoho, are you frightened?" the voice teased as the group proceeded at a brisk pace away from the nearing flame. The three could only assume that the flames weren't real, but when the effect was so realistic, it was hard to resist the impulse to play along. As the three drew closer, the fire in front of them began to fade. The voice spoke, closer now. "You three are feeling brave enough to venture further into my lair?" the voice asked. The fire behind them still approached. "Come further in and I will keep you in my grave forever. Retreat and I will burn you to ashes, then gather you up myself! Ohohoho!"

"Why don't I come down to greet you in person?" the voice muttered, suddenly very close. Suddenly, two dark arms began to reach out surprisingly from a locker up ahead, decorated to look like a standing coffin. The arms were dark skinned but painted with red markings. Odd bulges seemed to indicate veins pulsating the arms. The three could only assume they would have to run past before the creature fully emerged. "Stay right there!"

Finding the Truth
[ *  *  * ]
Veronica arrived at the threshold of the haunted house filled with a sense of apprehension. That sense was not born of the party's atmosphere, however, but from the conversation she'd had with Simon on the way. He'd asked her if she had an interest in reporting. Veronica had started to respond naturally. "How did you know? Actually, I-" she'd began, before her mind started wandering in a different direction than her words. How did Simon know that she was interested in reporting? She hadn't mentioned the newspaper she was planning to start... it wasn't possible he knew about what she'd done back at her old high school, was it?

"Yeah, sort of," Veronica finished to close the conversation, walking ahead and messing with her phone. She was frantically searching the internet, combing it for the umpteenth time to try and find if there were any traces of blog or board posts concerning what she'd done that were in frequently visited spots.

Veronica relaxed when she realized nothing new had appeared. She reflected that her worries were really silly in the first place. Simon had just met her, why would he be looking up information on her? But then again, how well did she know him? Would it be worth searching...?

She had half-typed "Simon Wang" into her phone's quicksearch before she snapped it closed definitively. What was getting into her? She'd never been prone to these kind of paranoia attacks before that incident, and she couldn't let it ruin her chances at a new start at her current school.

Veronica broke into a jog, something which she'd found in the past was capable of raising her spirits. She didn't get far, though, before she noticed the tired man with the clipboard. Jogging in place, she turned to him. "Hey, I see you're not taking money, so it's fine if I just tell you who's going in right? There's five of us if you need names: Veronica Mackenzie, Simon Wang, and uh... Mira, Grant, and Catherine. I don't remember their last names but it doesn't matter right? You can go back to sleep now!" she called, heading quickly on into the structure.
