It was hard to miss the monster booth. As one of the most populated dorms (and one of the least organized) the corner they'd chosen for themselves was stuffed with milling students of all shapes and sizes and the booth and it's activities seemed at rare moments fancy, and at most other times a bit ramshackle. Banners and flags seemed hand painted and some of the larger and stronger students had even built the facilities on their own. There may have even been a stone-still gargoyle holding up one leg of a table. Some games seemed to simply have been put there last minute by the students involved! It was as if every component had been made by someone different, and though not as pretty as other dorm booths, it held true to their inherent diversity.
There was often yelling, sometimes some friendly shoving, and a variety of interesting smells coming from their corner but the grinning residents welcome you with open arms!

The monsters are one of the largest and diverse of Halloween's species. Their ranks are only limited by imagination. They pride themselves on their strength and fearsome prowess at SCARING. Often shunned by other species, monsters need only be confident in themselves to succeed.
The students of monster house ask nothing of their fellows but to EAT, DRINK AND BE SCARY! A simple sentiment that they think all can support.
Near the 'Create Your Own' food table, another one is set up with several monster students manning it!
When you walk up, one of the monsters waves to you and says: "Hi! The four of us have been working on learning how to cook. Would you mind taste testing some of these foods for us?"
[[ How this works: Roll 1d4 - This will determine who is cooking the food for you. Then roll a d20 (adding or subtracting depending on their skill) to determine what you are served. ]]
The Cooks
1 - Canon - She has a tendency to add "ingredients" to some of the things she cooks - subtract 1 from your d20 roll 2 - Sulamanon - She's really only had one cooking lesson ever - add 1 to your d20 roll 3 - Eachann - He's trying his best, but really doesn't know his way around the kitchen - add 0 to your d20 roll 4 - AJ - Has learned the most out of the group about cooking - add 2 to your d20 roll
The Dishes
1: What is placed before you looks more like swamp sludge than any sort of food and smells worse than the Other Bathroom. If you're brave enough to try this, quote iloveyoudie to recieve a raffle ticket for the Tier 3 auction.
2-4: The cook must have left this in the oven too long, because it's burnt to a crisp, unless they meant to serve you a lump of charcoal. If you can manage to swallow this, pick a tier 2 prize.
5-7: The plate set before you looks like a normal plate of sushi, but then you catch a glimpse of something. Did it just move? Yes it did! The student served you a live fish! If you can manage to swallow the still moving fish, you get to take home a Monster Dorm Mini.
8-11: Looking over what is placed before you, all you see is a normal looking cake. When you take a bite into it, however, you notice it's a lot crunchier than you would have expected. The student obviously used whole eggs in it's creation, shell and all. If you can manage to swallow this, pick up a tier 1 prize.
12-15: The student should have left this dish in the oven longer, unless they meant to serve you raw dough. If you manage to eat this, you get a freebie prize.
16-19: A normal seeming cupcake is placed before you. It looks a little burnt, but still edible. If you eat this, take a Muka cookie home with you as a prize.
20: Placed before you is a very sweet plate of cookies. After finishing these you get to take a Muka cookie home with you as a prize.
Whatever you roll, you also get to take the cookie with the face of your cook home with you as a prize.

The essence of Halloween, of monsters especially, is SCARING!
A gap between the booth and Levi's Arm Wrassle had a banner fluttering over it.
Going back a yard or so there was a mock bedroom made up. A child's room, done best to look human from their textbooks, but with a distinct halloween flair. Where would they even get rea human toys? In the bed was a spring loaded dummy. A gnome playing some sort of handheld video game glances up at you. He seems to operate the scare machine, "Go ahead.."
[[ Let's test how far this education has gotten you!! Sneak in, make it past the hazards, and scare that kid!
It takes 5 steps to reach the child. Roll 5d20, match and RP your results. If any of your numbers achieve a FAIL prompt... try again tomorrow!]]
Quote:
1 - A minipet breaks into the scare room! It trips you and the dummy immediately jolts upwards. Seems there's no rule against minipets... SORRY. [[ FAIL ]] 2-4 - There's a squeaky toy on the floor that you didn't see! Your foot only half steps before you realize.. Thankfully the low whistle it made was not enough to wake the child. [[ PASS ]] 5 - Are you gaining weight? This is a sneaking game, not Kaiju Battle 3000. Your thundering steps wake the child. [[FAIL]] 6-12 - You manage to find a clear patch of floor. Sweet. [[PASS]] 13-16 - Twinkletoes!! You dance gracefully towards the bed like a master of stealth. [[PASS]] 17-19 - You really need to look out! The string of the fake ceiling fan hit you in the eye. Thankfully the sound of your surprise didn't wake the child. [[PASS]] 20 - A little overconfidence was your downfall. You made a break for it and tripped on the edge of the bedsheet. [[FAIL]]
So you reached the bed! Congrats! Now it's time to scare the kid!! (( If you've gotten this far you may claim a Tier 2 prize! Quote iloveyoudie with your choice))
Quote:
Roll 1d10. 1 is weeeeaaaaak. We're pretty sure the gage may have actually gone negative for a second!! 10 is perfect! What a scary mofo you are!! If you roll a 5 or over, you've succeeded!
Remember, if you fail simply try again tomorrow! If you succeed quote iloveyoudie to recieve a raffle ticket for the Tier 3 auction. You may compete once a day but only claim 1 ticket for the raffle for the entire event.
Coming across a rather rickety looking table integrated with the booth's setup, a ghoul with white hair and a tail of irregularly long length catches your eye. Sitting on a stool behind the table, with one arm on the flat surface of the counter bent upward at the elbow, she grasps another figure's hand sitting on a stool in front of her opposite the table. On the count of three, she plunks their hand knuckles-first backwards into the solid wood.
She then glances over at you ...
...Dare to give it a go?
Beat Levi at arm wrestling and you'll get a shiny prize out of it!
Quote:
How it Works
It is essentially a line of students waiting one after the other attempting to win a round of arm wrestling against Levi.
Roll a 20 sided die, find your number below for the outcome
1-2: You've managed to distract her somehow and she loses focus, allowing you to win! Hooray! You've won a Monster Dorm Mini! 3-6: The white-haired ghoul shakes her head at your attempt, looking at you with pitiful eyes but urging you to try again! 7-8: Uh-oh, a random rowdy gnome just kicked the stool you were sitting on by mistake(?). This causes a loss in momentum that costs you the game! :< -You get a freebie prize! 9-12: You were unlucky this time. A pie/taco sails at you from out of nowhere, hitting you on the side of your head. You don't know who did it, but it distracted you enough to cause you to lose the game. But wierdly enough it attracts a stray minipet. - You get a Tier 2 prize! 13: She grins widely at you with approval. You've won a Candy Corn Floresce SE! 14-16: It could have been a tentacle... but you aren't able to see with the hussle of the crowd. Something is wriggling against your leg O_O Oops, you lost... but is there something covered in goo stuck to your leg? - You win a Tier 1 prize! 17-19:The ghoul bests you, but she wriggles her fingers, cracking all her knuckles after the tension of your furious battle. Maybe you'll do better next time! - Take a freebie prize! 20: Levi asks if you know who Jove is. Apparently, your grip reminds her of him. This reads very positively as far as the ghoul's perception of you goes. You're a strong one, aren't you?You've won a Candy Corn Floresce SE!(in case you are Jove, quote me immediately, Grey)
Your student has one attempt to win per day. If you've won an SE from this game, please quote Nekoluch with your minis SN along with your post. If you've won a Tiered prize or a Monster Dorm exclusive pet, quote iloveyoudie with your choice!
Don't worry, if you don't best the tatzelwurm, she still offers you a hearty patting on the shoulder and a Monster Dorm Candy Corn Velvet Cupcake, should you like one. "Keep at it, ya'hear?!" The fact that you tried earns you at least a nudge of respect, as far as she's concerned.

100% safe to carve! Grab yourself a choice pumpkin at this creative corner of the Monster Dorm booth, and start hacking away at the gourd for a ferociously fitting face only a monstrous mother could love~
On the table before you is a red tablecloth riddled with various props, wigs, paints and products to decorate the jack-o-lanterns once they've been cut to perfection. There are enough utensils to cut, jab, gouge and ... whatever else you need to do to get through the skin and flesh of your pumpkin. Have a seat along the provided bench to begin and don't forget the candle at the end!
Don't worry, they've already been prepared. Not a seed remains inside. Someone might've had a little too much fun scrapping out their insides if the claw marks are any indication.
Go on. Release the artistic beast within you.

The main booth is covered in foodstuffs. Muka & Demi, the RA's, seem to be stuffing their faces though there seems to be enough for everyone.
On the left is a bubbling cauldron with empty cups.
On the right is plates and bowls filled with ingredients.
An offset table has a million extension cords running to it... are those EZ-Scare Ovens?? That's gotta be a fire hazard right?
"Ohhh heh.." Muka hops up, his massive belly jiggling under a brightly beaded red and gold waistcoat. He strokes some crumbs from his beard and waves a taloned hand over the table. "Feel free to make your own snackies! Hee... SURE TO BE INTERESTING.. YES?"
A home-made banner flutters above.
[CREATE-A-SNACK]
Get creative! Create your own spooky snacks worthy of a monster's appetite!
Roll 2d100. The first dice is your snack and the second dice is your drink. Match your results below and RP out the response. Please feel free RP out what kind of snack you made (cookie, cake, pie, whatever you want cause we have tiny ovens!) and to use WHATEVER INGREDIENTS YOU CAN IMAGINE. The Monster's table top is mess of delicious (and awful) munchies!
Status effects last as long or as short as you'd like, but no longer than the duration of the event. You may do this as many times a day as you'd like but the effects will not stack. May have 1 food and 1 drink effect active at once. If you choose to drink/eat again, your previous status will be replaced with the new one.
Spooky Snackies
1-20 : Looks like one of the ingredients you picked had gone bad. Or was that the one that the helper gnome dropped and stared at for a minute before reading the latest issue of point hat monthly, picking it back up and putting it on the tray? Other than the off putting taste, it has no lasting effects but makes you question that video you sent in to audition for Amityville’s next rot chef. [[No status effect but it tastes awful!]]
21-30: One bite and it was plain to see that the taste was…………. pretty much average. It made your skin turn a brand new color, and continue to change colors as you moved. This is why you don’t pick ingredients that look like they came from the Laboratory. For SCIENCE. [[You are now a walking kaleidoscope of colors, contact via touching will cause ripples of color to move across your physical form. You are welcome :> ]]
31-40: Why did you decide to use so many carrots? The rabbit students approve and so does that the little old ghoulie that produces most of the carrot crops that we get in Amityville.. you know her slogan: “Eat more carrots---------------------------or else.” Adding carrots to your recipe gives you sharper sight (weird) and an uncontrollable desire to wear them on your person. Maybe you can get a gnome to make you a carrot-horn headband.. The demons may adopt you as one of their own! [[You have super vision. You can see much farther and sharper than you should... and you have a desire to wear them to show your carrot love ]]
41-50: Mold. Mold is good. Mold is awesome. Whatever you made, upon being finished, grew a thick layer of fragrant green and white mold. Nutritious! Welcome to the world of the undead! Thrillleeeer... thriller niiiight.... [[You smell like an undead!! And you feel the need to interject dance moves into all your interactions for as long as this effect lasts]]
51-60: Have more solid floresce fish from a can! You added a little but you want more! It’s the cockatrice of the sea! Walk around with your human hands and a giant foam finger and revel in your reaper pride. Don’t’ forget the scythe made out of paper tubes and the assortment of FEAR-plastic butter knives you pilfered from the kitchen supply closet. Why didn’t you just go for the metal ones………………… [[No matter what your species, you feel the need to emulate a reaper. You continually try to use small utensils to reap ghosts, and you some how have fleshy human hands. WEIRD.]]
61-70: You know what's good... CANDY!! Candy. Candy on everything, candy on candy on candy. Your food turned out candied! Break a chair while you eat your candy and have a cotton candy tail put on you. Be inducted as an honorary monster. Our honorary Diplomas are made out of spookies (and bacon). [[You smell like a candy store.. like spun sugar on top of icing on top chocolate. You smell delicious! You also feel really gassy... all bodily gas expulsion also smells like candy]]
71-80: Did that pickle you added taste a little… haunted? The ectoplasm oozing out of it should have been a sign, to be honest. Either way, you feel a bit ghostly. Maybe you should look for advice at the Ghost dorm booth. [[Your hands keep phasing in and out of tangibility! GHOST HANDS!]]
81-100: One bite and it was enough. The taste was perfect. It was (dare you say it) the perfect bite. It achieved such a balance of flavors and textures that it made you shed a tear for its beauty. Sweet culinary perfection... but still with side effects. [[You are sneezing glitter! Your recipe was just too perfect.]]
Dastardly Drinks
1-20: A pinch of this, a stir of that. Your drink seems to be a perfect compliment to the snack you made! It's tasty, fragrant, and seems to have fixed whatever harm you did with the snack itself. [[ Your drink is wonderful! It's negated the awful effects that your food had. Unless you want to keep them, then just pawn it off to a friend.]]
21-30: The cup is bubbling and smells of sulfur. You drink it anyway in the spirit of the House Cup. [[ You have uncontrollable house pride! You feel the need to scream about how great your Dorm is as often as you can!]]
31-40: It looks like a carnival in a cup!! And if you hold your ear close to the liquid it sounds faintly of... clown's laughter? How wonderfully creepy. [[Everything is HYSTERICAL. You can't help but laugh at everything. And you have a need to make balloon animals.]]
41-50: This drink is actually pretty good. Mm... YUM.. OMNOM. [[You don't realize but your body pulses with a soft glow... like a lightning bug!]]
51-60: Your drink ended up looking like swamp mud. And tasting like swamp mud. And smelling like swamp mud. I guess that's fine if you like swamp mud. [[Nothing happens :O Maybe it just is swamp mud ]]
61-70: Your drink solidified into a strange jello. It's like a drink and a food all at the same time!! [[ Why is it so hot? Isn't it hot? You feel overheated and continually thirsty.]]
71-80: Your drink goes down smooth but afterwards seems to tickle your throat. You pull a hair out of your mouth.. was that yours? [[Your hair color and style changes every few minutes. If you don't have hair, you do now!]]
81-90: A LITTLE HAIR OF THE DOG! Literally. We think there's invisible dog hair in yours. Sorry!! At least it's invisible. [[ You are feeling very SCARY. You try your best to startle and scare those around you. The spirit of monster house, right?!]]
91-100: Whatever you made, it smells like BACON! Demi and Muka both begin to fight over your drink. [[ACK! Your drink has been stolen by the RA's. If you'd like to roll 1d100 again, you can make another!]]
