Tucked away in the school was a room. In this room, were gnomes. Lots of gnomes. Aside from the gnomes, (who actually seemed to be working in total silence), professor Rengath sat behind a desk, looking at said desk like it was on fire.
He had good reason to. It had white lace doilies, heart shaped glitter, rose petals, and a box of chocolates on it. Under the offensive material was a small stack of paperwork. A few gnomes looked to the demon every so often before a snicker or chuckle escaped. The professor just seemed unwilling to touch it.
As he looked up from his romantic dilemma, he sighed. "Welcome to the Room of requi- er..." He looked around and groaned at the decorations. "Romance." He was very clearly not enjoying it.
"Here you can get your photo taken, acquire a few cute trinkets for your minipet, or take a few of these things." The tone in his voice indicated he was more than willing to foster a few items onto people. "As its school sponsored its free just... don't break anything."
He went back to looking at the paper work on his desk.
Ask a Gnome what's with the professor
"Pfffft you think I care? He'd not setting us on fire. 'S all that matters."
Ask the professor if needs any help
He stares at you blankly before saying to take care of what you came to do. He is fine.
Break something
Gnomes evict you from the room, grumbling about student messes.
Attempt to steal some of the various valentines items
No one tries to even stop you.
Take more than a handful
Rengath throws rock candy at you and tells you greed is only appropriate in an avarice demon.

The set up is fairly simple....ish. Really bad cutouts from what look like romance novels stand and its more or less obvious you put your head through the hole while the gnome takes a picture. It would be so simple however.... if the gnomes had any sense of respect.
Over by the photo print station is one gnome of a computer, giggling madly as he works to print the photos.
Ask what he's doing
Another gnome grabs you and pulls you away from the computer one. "He's cleaning up you ugly mugs! Now get in line if you want your photo taken or scram!"
The gnome rolls his eyes. "Those look halloween to you? Those are human world covers. Kinda creepy if you ask me, but some people find them really good."
Ask if he means the teacher
"....The guy cant even touch his own desk right now kid." The gnome motions towards the still untouched pile of paperwork, a grin on his face. "It's great. Valentinophobia."
try to sneak a peak at the computer gnome
You're dragged away and shoved into line.
The OOC
Going up alone, or with a partner, you pick one of the various cutouts and have your picture taken. One//Two//Three//Four//Five
Seems simple, no muss, no fuss. However, or course, nothing is ever simple here in halloween. The gnome working the touch ups is doing more than touching up. He's full on photo shopping heads all over the place! When you get your photo taken there is a chance your character will get put with another. Besides getting 'shop'd with someone else, you'll get a romantic card and copy of your romantic adventure. The gnomes are being gnomes. dare you take the risk.
Still interested? RP your character(s) taking their photo and fill out this form:

As Rengath attempts to swat a few things off of his desk to clear it of red and pink 'filth' you can hear a light coo coming from behind him. Before you can investigate this sound, seven strangely colored corrividus fly around the valentinophobic teacher before dropping what looks like more valentines onto his papers.
".........................................." The demon groans and leans back in his seat, the desk more covered than when he started. Noticing you he seems to have a small internal debate before asking, "Do you like birds?"
OOC
Seven hatoful corrividus had shown up and Rengath wants to be rid of them. Forever. Sadly he's 99% sure that some DETH head is nearby so roast corrividus is not on his lunch menu today. The only way to get rid of them is to catch them and take them away.
To do so, you'll need to romance the birds from their various perches. Yes. Romance the bird.
Different birds like different things. Beans being a thing they all rather like but a few other things they like as well. One like maid cafes, another likes the maid in the cafes, one loves music while another loves pudding. And one is rather skilled with math while another is skill with more.... hands on work. All in all they each have their own quirks.
Oh and one is dead but doesn't exactly want to leave but that's another story.
Point is you must catch the birds and remove them from the premises. In order to do so, Rengath has a few beans he's been tossing to get them to leave. Sadly they're a bit fast and he can't seem to get them to fly out of the room and stay out before he shuts the door closed.
In order to help you'll need to win the bird's trust and take them home. Using the beans to get a birdie you then have to say something to get that bird to stick to ya.
Roll a 1d10 to determine which birdie you attract with your beans.
1- Racing blend: Chukar partridge 2- Calm Corn: Rock pigeon 3- Country millet: Button quail 4- Country millet: Mourning dove 5- Swollen hemp: Fantail pigeon (1) 6- Racing blend: Fantail pigeon (2) 7- Bitter black beans: Fantail pigeon (3) 8- Bitter black beans: Luzon Bleeding-heart dove 9- You offer all the beans and the corrividus all attack! Looks like you can't help that much... 10- You opt to shoo them away.
Now, look at the options for what to say.
Chukar Partridge
Going hohohoho, the partridge lands on a small pile of papers before fluttering away. You: >> Chase after him >> Investigate the papers >> Do nothing
Rock Pigeon
The pigeon comes over to you, looking at you if impressed by your size. >> Jokingly pose >> Smile and tell him not to worry, you know your strength >> Talk about your massive girth
Button Quail
As soon as the bird lands he begin to chirp what feels like a lecture. You: >> Pay attention >> Gaze off and pretend to listen >> Fall asleep
Mourning Dove
Silent, this dove doesn't even coo,only hopping over, reading a book on pick up lines. You: >> Try one on him >> Let him read. >> Ask if he'd found any good ones.
Fantail Pigeon (1)
This birdie seem... odd. He coos at you and kicks the beans out of your hand. He doesn't stop there you: >> Offer chocolate pudding >> Offer plain pudding >> Offer vanilla pudding
Fantail Pigeon (2)
if a bird could pout, this one is. You: >> Serenade him. >> Ask why he's not singing >> make fun of his pout
Fantail Pigeon (3)
This bird lands on your head and offers you a rose. You: >> Reject him softly. >> Laugh it off >> Accept the rose.
Luzon Bleeding-heart dove
You hear battle music as this dove jumps around, waving his wings angrily at the chukar partridge. You: >> Tell him not to be rude >> Agree that the bird is creepy >> Say that its not yet time to battle
Get swarmed.
Looks like Rengath is just annoyed. Better try later! (Try again tomorrow!)
Shoo them away
It works for a while. Rengath gives you one scarentine point for your work. (post minipet SN)
Aside from the last 2 options, pick what you want to say to your birdie and QUOTE iStoleYurVamps. I'll give you your reward (or none at all depending what you pick). The 'correct' option should be easy if you just browse the wiki. I'm serious. It really isn't that hard and you don't have to have played the game. When you make your choice be sure to HIGHLIGHT IT IN RED and post minis SN as well.
While Rengath might not seem so enthusiastic about the holiday, someone is, having left the demon a large box of chocolates. He's not about to give them away though, (even if he hates them they are still his things). He's fully aware that some teachers like to leave little 'jokes' on others and use students to do their dirty work. So he has a... proposition for those tasked with tormenting him with grams and flowers and in general hogwash.
If they leave him alone and abandon their task, he'll give them some candy for it. If they go so far as to see if they can't causing a bit of mischief... he'll reward them even more. Going to other professors, students, horsemen even, and playing a 'scarentines' style prank on them and brining him evidence of such will net you a reward or to. Just don't bug him and give him things seriously don't. He doesn't want to deal with this lovey dovey bullshit.
How To Play
The game is pretty simple. If Cricket or any other professor has asked you to torment Rengath, choosing not to will prompt him to reward you with a mini! Just provide a link to where you were 'tasked' to do so.
The other way is to go pull a 'anti-scarentines' prank of someone else. Of course breaking rules will result in consequences. Some simple ones, that don't break rules are: -Tossing heart glitter on a person - Giving fresh flowers to someone - Eating all their chocolates - Giving them a box of chocolates with some missing and holes poked in the bottom. - Spraying them with perfume that smells like lilac or some romantic humanish smell (Remember, halloween's concept of Valentines is altered from 'humans!'
Once you've done that come back and tell Rengath just what you've done, (posting a link to the event as well). Minis SN too ofc.
Rengath's heart is breaking because all he really wants for valentines day is to be left alone and have some peace and quiet. Sadly, it's not an option. His desk is covered and he's pretty much stuck in his chair trying to avoid contact with the various valentine goodies. If you have even some mercy... You'll help him right? He's not asking but from the looks of it's he's too busy glaring at the flowers that keep appearing.
Cleaning Rengaths Desk
The game is something like a battle. The desk starts off with 100 'items' (HP). Your goal is to remove as many valentine related supplies as possible. Fun huh? It's pretty easy. You roll 1d10 to determine how much you remove. You can play once per day. What you roll removes 'HP' from the total and when Rengath's desk reaches 0? REJOICE! He is FREE! The item removal stacks with each student, so be sure to post TOTAL REMAINING HP in bottom of your post.
After you have rolled and RP'd it out, QUOTE with minis SN. Please be in same post you rolled in tyvm. DO NOT REDEEM POINTS UNTIL I CONFIRM.. On a limited # of points and I have to keep track.
Prizes remaining:
x0 x14 x17

Fiona was just filled with excitement at all the scarentine activities going on. It was just so great of the school and all the teachers to teacher them about human holidays! Even if Fi did think some of the things were slightly weird and or hilarious.The ghoul was almost skipping with excitement as she moved along checking out all the booths. As she was busy giving everything the once over she knocked into someone, thankfully not hard ...it turned out to be "Sophie!!" Fiona squealed in excitement and chattered away at Sophie."Have you seen everything here! What fun! OOOh! will you come do the photo booth with me?" She gave a pleading look to the ghoul and then skipped off just positive Sophie would be up for it.

Sophie moved on from darts, eyes never not scanning the surroundings and the different games the booths offered. So distracted was she that she didn't notice Fiona until they'd smacked into each other. Sophie stumbled back a little; more out of shock than anything else. "Fiona! Hey!" Sophie gave a nod, a grin spreading across her face. "Yeah, this is great! It's my first Scarentine's, too!"
At the request for Sophie's presence in the photobooth, the ghoul laughed and followed Fiona; not given anytime to protest - not that she wanted to. As they arrived, Sophie eyed the gnomes curiously before looking at the cut outs. She pointed at the most ridiculous one - number 5. "Who gets to be the guy?"

Should couldn't help but giggle as she stared at the available cut outs for picture taking. She glanced at the gremlins quickly before speaking "Are these something humans laugh at or find romantic?" Fiona asked with a giggle personally she thought them to be silly but perfect for Sophie and her to have some fun with.
"oh I will!" Fiona bounced with excitement to take her place behind the male cut out almost taking it out with a wing. With a quick tuck she managed to avoid destroying anything.
The first order of business of course, for their date - was to save its memory for posterity. Placing his captured - and practically bouncing off the walls - date back onto her own two feet he smiled and brushed her cheek with his fingers.
"So, shall we get a picture?" He smirked down at her, motioning at the cutouts. "I mean, they're kinda silly and all, but I think it'd be fun, and we'd at least have something to remember our first date."
Those two words were getting so much easier to say the longer they were together...

Character: Zel Link to Uncert:Zel Minipet SN: Torvil Partner: Amarus Partner Uncert:Amarus Partner Minipet SN: Faceyourdemons Cutout Used: TWO! Theme: Romantic <3 - and Amarus is SUPER CANDY HIGH!
Posted: Thu Feb 14, 2013 10:46 pm
Amarus had been kicking her legs back and forth gently but rhythmically the entire time she was being carried, and when she was finally set down she felt a little dizzy. If she'd had blood, it woulda probably rushed to extremities. However, thankfully she did not, and she merely smiled at Zel as he brushed her cheek with her fingers. She let go of some sort of weird sigh-like sound, though she didn't actually breathe given she was a ghost. That was the clearest manifestation of the giddy feeling she got when he touched her that she'd likely be able to offer for quite a while.
"Feels like I trapped those lights in my chest," she tried to explain, before giggling again. She stood on her toes to brush a lock of hair away from Zel's face, but more accurately she thought she saw a glimmering light caught under the hair and was trying to free it so that it could float away into the sky. Still, her eyes shut slightly and she smiled at him in a mischievious sort of way.
"Kissing booth, hmm?" she teased him, poking one finger into his chest lightly as she lowered back to her normal hovering height. "I'm alright with that." She headed over towards a specific cutout, the only one that didn't seem radically explicit or girly, and popped into the cutout.
She tilted her face towards his, grinning, bouncing slightly.
"Can we go to all the booths next?" she asked, clearly still excited by the sheer amount of sugar seething through her.
Zel chuckled and followed her to the cutout - he leaned in and kissed her softly on the lips, and smirked at her when he pulled back. "Of course," he said warmly. "All the booths, every single one - I'm good with that."
Once the photo was taken he slipped out of the cut-out and took her by the hand. "Well then," he smirked, leaning down to kiss her again. "Shall we go to all the booths?"
He really didn't mind - all the more time to spend with her. He wasn't going to lie though, he did find her current mood and behavior endearing - adorable even. Not that he'd tell her that outright right this moment. It was just interesting to see such a mellow person suddenly bouncing around the room like she had to go a mile-a-minute. He liked her mellow as well, actually, he just liked her, to be honest. Everything about her screamed fun and excitement even when she was mellow - even cool or cold.
But she seemed to have defrosted around him - and whatever had been in that candy she'd eaten, so he intended to enjoy his time with her regardless of her mental state.
Besides - it wasn't every day he'd be able to fireman carry her around and get a good look at her behind - which was very nice to look at.
He waited to see where she wanted to go first - he was game for anything.

Maybe this was all the energy she had been missing all this time, packed into the rest of the day. One way or another, Amarus was pulling a Freya and practically humming with excitement. The only thing that made her pause was the kiss, as Zel leaned in and brushed his lips across hers. Obviously that was going to happen, she was at a kissing booth-- but it still surprised her. It was the second time she had kissed him, and she wasn't used to the sensation yet.
Stupid cutouts in the way! She wanted to lean in, and couldn't. As soon as they slipped out from behind the cutouts and he took her hand, however, he did kiss her so that she could lean her body towards his, still racing with sugar. She brushed one hand along his jaw, and smiled against his mouth after kissing him, leaning the bridge of her nose and whispering: "Yes," in response to his asking if they should go to all the booths now that their photo had been taken.
Amarus was no stranger to narcotics hidden inside candy. This, however, did basically the opposite of what her own drugs did. So even though a voice in the back of her head suggested she'd been drugged, the very loud sugar-high Amarus just said GO WITH IT. And she did, she did go with it; she squeezed Zel's hand and after stomping her feet in tiny excited motions she did two things at once:
1) She exclaimed: "LET'S MAKE A CARD!" 2) She began to bound off towards the booth in question.
Zel chuckled and as she started to run off, he scooped her up again, once more throwing him over his shoulder so he could get a nice view of her rump as well as ensure she didn't run off and get lost on him. That, and she seemed to enjoy batting at the feathers that had shown up on his own posterior.
"Yes, let's go make a card," He chuckled softly, heading off in that direction once more, his arm wrapping around her waist to keep her securely placed on his shoulder.
After all, he didn't want her to slip off and crack her head open! That wouldn't be at all fun!
And this was supposed to be fun! With that, they were off!
