THE AMITYVILLE HOUSE CUP
Opening Ceremony Outside the Main Stadium, booths were being contructed with students and gnomes rushing to get things set up. Inside, friends, families, and locals all gathered to watch the opening ceremony of the Amityville House Cup, the first such to be held in a very long time. Flags and banners declaring dorm allegiances were already waving with an almost violent fervour as the participating students filed onto the field. Each dorm has been given new sets of gym clothes for the event, in the dorm's colours and with student names emblazoned on the backs. The crowd was literally roaring with approval at the sight of Amityville Academy's best and brightest, ready to take each other on to prove which was dorm was best.  Near the front of the field, a tall, lanky man with unmemorable features tapped on his microphone and began, "Welcome, and you all for attending the Amityville House Cup!" The applause is near deafening, and he has to wait several minutes for it to die down, "What you see before you is the future! This is the raw power and reslience of youth given a purpose and it is an impressive thing indeed, as you will no doubt be given ample opportunity to witness in the coming days! So let's cheer them on as they compete to show you the best of Halloween! Ghosts! Monsters! Undead! Demons! Reapers!" With each race names, the crowd grew exponentially louder until streamers in the house colours began to fly though the air and onto the field of gathered students. In the stands, families screamed out encouragements to their children, teachers heckled and threatened their students, local citizens made a nice ruckus while searching for a cider vendor, horsemen began to discreetly begin betting pools. The Amityville House Cup was about to begin, and it looked like all Halloween Town was ready to either party or riot.

Frost discreetly made a bet that something was going to be set on fire. Then- with an enthusiastic cheer he felt the words running out of him loud and proud-
"Libertas in Obitum!"
Frost was already getting wrapped up into 'school spirit' as it were.

Lattice was there watching. Always watching. She'd been standing somewhere near Frost when he suddenly let out a rather spirited shout. The Dorm motto.
She quietly smiled and nodded, "A wonderfully spirited display," she murmured quietly. It wasn't often that she could raise her voice very high beyond a quiet monotone. It was probably better Lattice didn't try to shout as her pride in her dorm and those within it was not easily shown through her tone.
Instead she carefully lifted a hand and lightly patted Frost on the shoulder. Good Frost. Good puppy.
Whether he realized it or not, Frost had been designated as the one who would shout for her. Him and a select other few ghosts that had the ability to raise their voice higher than her own.

Night crossed leaned back as much as a ghost cat could, grinning at the loud cheer from his brethern.
"Yay ghost dorms." He said cheerfully, his tail swishing back and forth.
Down the ways, a very excited mermaid was was looking at all the gathered monsters with wide eyes. O v O.
This was going to be fun.

Lock silently watched with nothing on his face but a blank stare.
He'd only just arrived to this school and now dorms were fighting it out.
What ...
---
Danny on the other hand, was raucous and loud to the point of obnoxiousness. It was probably something unfitting of a traditional demon, but then, Danny wasn't no traditional demon. She was loud and obnoxious, but it was loud and obnoxious for the best team ever.
She was only sad she had to fight against some of her friends.
BUT SHE WAS GOING TO KICK THEIR BUTTS. "WHOOOO DEMONSSSSS!!!"

Lightly fiddling with the jacket she was given to wear to represent her team, Ev tried to make it a little more comfortable... as she wasn't quite used to wearing such an encasing piece of clothing. Her moths flitted about casually, as usual, her masked eyes idly gazing around at the massive crowd of fellow pupils sporting their teams proudly. It would be her first time in a competitive sort of field... she was looking forward to it!
Standing there, wearing a rather confident perhaps even cocky grin, Verusha checked out her competition as well as her comrades for the event that was going underway. Looked like a pretty good gathering, at that... Sitting beside the reaper was her firey companion Cannon, giving a very displeased glare to everyone he could.

Shehk's ears swiveled as she heard a voice she knew rise up and start cheering. He had a lot of enthusiasm, didn't he? Still, his enthusiasm got her all riled up in her own way.
Throwing one fist up, Shehk's voice was the next to shout out.
"RISE UP!"
Awwww yis, school spirit.
----
Tomoko stood with the rest of the demons, trying to not look like the awkward ghoul out. She was helpful! She was going to do good and she'd show her demon pride! Even if she was about as helpful as a wet tissues with her confidence at an all time low as of late...
NO! SHE WAS BRAVE.
RAWWRRR
She put on her brave face. It was adorable
---
Sura rumbled, not seeming enthused, but she never seemed enthused. Instead, she just stood tall - as always - over the rest of her dorm, head held high and looking mighty (as always). But she couldn't help but glance towards the stands. Trudy was supposedly here. Big brother.
----
Angeline had no idea where she was in this crowd, holding her scythe tightly to her and trying to listen to what was happening amongst the racket of everything. Oohhhh maannn. Everybody was so excited, she was trying to be too, but she felt nervous.

Sin looked out at the crowds and smiled, ah the glorious chance to show all of Halloween that demons were superior in every way. The blatant preference to her race was out in full force today, gone were her attempts at fairness and equality this was the chance to prove that some were indeed better than others. The crowd looked impressive a bit of a seething mass but Sin waved with decorum just incase her parents had decided to attend. She hadn't responded to their calls in some time, still angry about her year spent locked away, but she did still love them.
She looked over startled by the sudden outburst and then gave a wry smile, ah yes Danny that explained it. It might not be exactly proper, but she was moved by the infectious sentiments, whoo demons indeed!
"NON DOCOR, DUCO!
DEMONS ARE THE BEST!!!"
She gave a cheer and then did a few quick cartwheels and a backflip, she had no qualms about Fearleading for her own dorm specifically.
"Demons! Demons!
Demons are the best!
You can put us to the test!
We will prove-
In good time
Better than the rest!"

Ruth had said nothing when the Reaper Dorms were called out. Unlike the others cheering and yelling, her show of support was done by waving and jumping and clapping. But despite the wide smile on her face, the bill of her cap and her blonde bangs hid the fact the smile didn't reach her eyes. She was going through the motions, really, but she made a decent enough show of it.
---------
Petro's enthusiasm, on the other hand, was genuine. He was sporting a new bahag, one that displayed his support for his dorm. He didn't question how it got to his room, almost by magic. He had made certain the loincloth wasn't cursed or part of some prank before he donned it. But if worse came to worse, the tikbalang had no issue with simply ripping it off and going through the rest of the event naked.
When the screaming and cheers began, the monster horse let loose his own bellow."EAT, DRINK'N BE SCARYYYYYYYY!!!!!!"Still grinning, he scanned the crowd and spotted his ghoul amongst her own dorm mates. Eyes tapered into happy slants, the tikbalang waved at Lattice, knowing she would spot his tattoos.

Don't worry Tomoko you weren't the odd one out in the demon party. Sammy was standing right beside you sporting a demon dorm hoodie with the hood pulled up. Purple eyes flickering over the crowd of mostly strangers gathered in the stands.
Reaching over she ruffled the Kitsune's hair and ears, "Non docor, duco... screw the system I'll do as I please." She also spotted Shehk shouting in the distance and a sharp pain of sadness seemed to rip through her body causing her to look away from the other ghoul.

Muka sort of appeared next to Petro. It was odd how a boil his side could sneak up on people. "Thats the spirit!!" He giggled at the tikbalang's bellowing.

Tavi was literally bouncing on the balls of his feet, this was way to much excitement for a boil like him. Swallowed in one of the large demon hoddies he flailed the sleeves around and jumped when the name of their dorm was called out, joining in with a ghoul nearby, "Woooooooooooooooooooooo Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemooooooooooooooooooooons! Yaaaay yaaaaaay!" Flailing around as if he was on a sugar rush Tavi gave a few comical spins around, raring to go.
--
Unlike the clearly excited kitsune by him, Siku simply yawned and gave a sarcastic twirl of a clawed finger. This was lame. He cared not to cheer with the others, what he was waiting for were the competitions.

Fiddling with his new jacket running his fingers over his name "at least they spelled my name right." He quickly pulled it on after a few attempts to get his chains through without ripping the sleeves. Monty glanced around with a wide grin on his face. This was perfect for him, he loved games and this was the biggest game of them all "Lets go undead."

The shouting and cheering was deafening. Val peered at the hundreds of spectators as they cheered and boo'ed at each other. The atmosphere was electrifying to say the least
"Libertas in Obitum !" shouted Val, cupping his hands together into a makeshift megaphone.

Shun merely sat where he was while the others were cheering and whatnot. He never really had a great deal of school spirit. That said, he was wanting things to actually get started. Spirit or not, he was looking to see if he could push himself here. It was a little too noisy here right now.
---
"YEAH! MONSTERS FOREVER!" roared a certain dragon, grinning.
