THIS POST IS FOR ENROLLED STUDENTS ONLY (if you do not have an enrolled student proceed to post 2!) BOOM.
You awake to a loud noise. You truly open your eyes for the first time and hear a loud hiss and pop. Colour flashes outside right on top of the Amityville campus building - fireworks. Hundreds of fireworks, in dazzling display, each and every one a different shape and colour. Loud, erratic crackles go out in unison followed by what looks like a shooting star reaching up, up only to blossom into a fantastic pumpkin-shaped firework, complete with smiling lantern face and all, and then disappear in another loud pop.
The schoolgrounds begin to flood, students pouring out of their dorms, some in confusion, some even more jarred. It felt like forever to some in a place called Wonderland, but it had only been a dream. A simple, overnight dream, and nobody else would ever know how much those who journeyed down the rabbit hole truly found.
The fireworks finished in a spectacular display, a shower of school dorm emblems, proud and wonderful, and then from the tip of the school roof a banner unfurled in bright orange.
AMITYVILLE ACADEMY OPEN HOUSE. ALL ALL INVITED.
That's right, since it had only been one night, today was the day one of the many school's open house tours. This one seemed a little more fantastic than usual, and a little busier than usual as strangers flooded the gates, gates that were still closed.
"One- one at a time!" A voice was shouting through a scamplifier over the crowd, though it was absolutely impossible to see who it was over the crowd. "Get your guest passes here. Guest - guest students must be accompanied by an actual student of the campus to show them around. I said one at a time, get back in line!"
Slowly the gates opened, just a little bit, and the first few guest students, the first few visitors, began to trickle in, a bright orange guest pass tag dangling from their necks.
"Don't just stand there!" shouts a gnome, pushing you, that's right, you, the real you, forward, "Go help out! Show them around school. We don't pay you to live here so earn your keep!"
This was going to be a long Spookday. OOC STUDENT gaia_crown [ THE OPEN HOUSE ] Amityville Academy needs your help showing [ GUEST STUDENTS ] around the campus during open house! Your goal is to tell them a bit about the school, classes, the leaky washrooms, the food to watch out for, whatever it is, tour them around areas and hotspots at the school, show them your dorm room even if you want to, entertain them with minipets if you'd like, and ultimately give these newbies an IC understanding of whatever it is you'd like them to know about the school! gaia_crown [ HOW TO HELP: ] If you are a ENROLLED STUDENT please post at the top of your post [ ENROLLED STUDENT ]. If you are a NEW student or JUST won and enrolled a student that's been approved and you don't feel comfortable showing people around the campus, please read and reply to the IC prompt above but skip this OOC part and follow the OOC GUEST prompt below. Otherwise post the bold red, and then look for a QUEST/NEW STUDENT character that has not been claimed. Just quote that rper, write an RP interaction, and then exit out of this thread when ready to create any [PRP] where you are guiding that character around Amityville and showing them the sights. You are free to do as many tours with newbies as you want! Yes, you can group up and have multiple students/ guests with an rp group as you see fit. Please try to go from the beginning of the page to the end, so nobody is left out and limit yourself to 3 tours at a time (if an RP becomes inactive after 24 hours feel free to do another one) - This will be open ALL WEEK - All guest touring RPS are double RP points, up to a max of 10! gaia_crown [ RP RESUMES ] If you are an enrolled student you also resume RP as usual outside of Amityville without touring guests. This is ICly open house weekend, just for the (IC) weekend, that will last all OOC week (to accommodate for meta prize characters that get enrolled) for those who want a chance to interact with new/guest/quest characters and show them around!

THIS PROMPT IS FOR GUEST/ QUEST STUDENTS AND HALLOWEEN TOWN CITIZENS BUT PLEASE READ THE OOC BELOW: You wake up, but its impossible to not hear the noise outside. Fireworks. The sound, the lights, the noise attracts you, even from your rather far residence. Today is a special day however, and you know it. You saw it in the papers. Amityville open house. Today is still Spookday, which was quite important to note if you were one of the lucky few who traveled down a certain rabbit hole. Only a night had passed. Today is Spookday the Fifth of October, and today is the day where you get a grand tour of the famous Amityville Academy, the oldest and most prestigious school in all of Halloweentown. For those working in Halloweentown, many of you had heard of Amityville in passing, but the most obvious and wonderful reason as to why to visit was of course the free food and merchandise!
It takes you a while, despite the fireworks blossoming over Amityville itself, to get to the campus gates. It is crowded, and you line in some semblance of line up before you finally reach the front gates. Before you know it a guest pass is shoved in your hands, you are shoved and bumped one more time right through the open gates -
- Right into a crowd of students who possibly look just as confused as you. Something kicks you - ow - and you look down to see a very angry garden gnome complete with a pointed red hat make a face at you and tell you to behave. They waddle off without another word. OOC GUEST All guest students AND Halloweentown citizens (or Horsemen even.. if you really want), that is ANYONE who either does not have an official student charater in the shop OR has a very new enrolled character that knows nothing can enter Amityville Academy for a student PRP tour! This is a great chance for you to have an understanding of how TiH works and for you to have some PRP time in the setting! - If you are a QUEST character and you are new to this shop, please get your character critiqued here first before starting to RP! If you were a QUEST in the wonderland event, you can go ahead and start rping - If you WIN a character in the Wonderland event and you would like to rp them please wait until they are OFFICIALLY APPROVED first before dropping that character off here! - Follow the RP prompt in this post (for guests) and the prior rp prompt for (NEW STUDENTS) and then RP them entering Amityville Academy/ the gates. - Also in your post post in AT THE TOP OF YOUR POST IN BOLD BLUE [ QUEST STUDENT LOOKING FOR TOUR ]. When a character QUOTES you, that is another student, then please cross out your bold blue part, and you and the student touring your character can go ahead and exit out and make a PRP - This will last a whole IC 2 days/ 1 whole OOC week! If classes run, guest students are allowed to "shadow" any student by sitting with them at a class. They cannot go by a quest alone though! If your character has finished a tour and/or if they just want to start another one, just RP them coming back to the gates and waiting for another student (post that they are looking for someone in BOLD BLUE). Please limit yourself to 3 tours at a time. (if an RP becomes inactive after 24 hours feel free to do another one)

[ENROLLED STUDENT]
The fireworks made her jerk, oh for the love of Jack was that anyway to wake someone? She stood and walked over to look out her window at the loud display and then huffed. She was hardly in the mood to celebrate after…after all that. Her fingers lifted to touch her temples and rub a moment trying to gather her thoughts. With a sigh she dressed and brushed her hair out making certain she was meticulous before walking out. She wanted to know what the heck had just happened, first that strange Wonderland dream and now all this hullabaloo.
Sin smiled as the demon banner unfurled filling her with pride and then she remembered, right! Today was one of those open house things with potential fellow students coming to tour Amity. She was about to turn around and head back inside, she had so much to do, and she wanted to find her friends and ask them if they’d had any peculiar dreams.
Suddenly a gnome was there pushing at her, she glared down at it and sneered.
“You don’t pay me at all!”
The gnome was gone before she could do anything more though and she found herself looking out at the guests with their badges and looking expectant. Curses, she should have just stayed in bed fireworks be damned. Ah well, she crossed her arms and then tried to look for a proper demon, if she had to show someone around let it at least be her kind.

She woke up in a daze.
Piper's first distinct thought was what the hell nightmares and what did I eat last night seriously that was messed up. The second thought was shitshitshit as she heard loud booms outside her dorm, her weapon summoned ina knee-jerk reaction to blast something--
--fireworks. Still half-asleep, it took the reaper a moment to remember. Wonderland had been so vivid, it was hard to shake off . . . Did that all actually happen? She definitely didn't think her imagination had the ability to make up someplace so wacky. Or frightening, if she was honest.
Head in the game, Pipes, she told herself, peeling away from the warm sheets. Time to welcome some newbies.
Fashioned after the reaper dorm's bold blue and black scheme (and after a decent amount of time tending to her hair), Piper strode onto the scene, wide awake and ready to be helpful. Anything to forget about that freaky dream.
"Easy on the lackies," she commented to the demon, fixing her skirt so that she could be absolutely presentable. "Be cool. We're supposed to be representatives, right?"

"I swear sometimes I think they TRY to provoke me...but of course your right it wouldn't do to have our guests see how irritating the help can be sometimes."
She glanced over at the unfamiliar reaper and after a moment of consideration extended her hand.
"Sin Err, I'm sorry if I'm a bit terse I didn't sleep very well and the fireworks seem to have woken me up on the wrong side of the bed."
She flicked back a pink strand of hair and looked at the guests. Hmm, they looked less harrowed than she felt that was certain.
Smile and enjoy the beautiful campus grounds...and pray that you never end up seeing some of the freaky things that happen at Amity.

[Quest Character - Tsukumonogami Rei]
BOOM
"-huh?"
The sound of repeated fireworks wakes him up.
He's back on Halloween Town.
Something nags in the back of his mind...something like, a female that looks very much like Alice from the tale of Wonderland saying that his job is done---and that she'll miss him.
He pulled himself together, tidying up his looks and face, and walked out from his temporary lodging.
He glanced at the Scarelendar hanging on the wooden plank. It's Spookday. Still Spookday.
That means all those three days he spent in his dream...
He can feel something is not right. Not quite.
Since the jack of his headphones is left dangling on the air, he can 'hear' the air itself.
Cheeriness. Laughter. Joy. Excited. Normal things.
But beneath that, something sinister lurks. Pure emotion...or even energy. Something akin to Fear.
But it's okay. Probably.
Then again, he has an appointment with someone he knew in the dorms-
Someone stopped him on the doors and handed him a guest pass. Oh, he did need this one.
Rei waddled in, weaving his way between the flock of guests and walked while admiring the building...

It was a dream? The experience, however brief, felt incredibly real - but by the way she tumbled out of her mirror at the sound of the sky crashing, and the way her head ached after the tumble, the ghoul concluded that she had in fact, been dreaming.
Following the noise to its source, she found herself in a swarm of guests. Her face lit up as she straightened her beret, kicking a gnome after it pushed her. Don't touch her, she had mothering to do.
"Oh hello there, visitors! Right this way if you don't mind, please!" She called out, waving whoever she could down. She didn't do it because she was told, she just really loved Amityville.

[ Enrolled Students ] Maple was unsure what to make of the noise and had awoken with a start, clutching the sheets of her bedspread and daring to pull them up further before she made to do anything. Before she dared to. Were they being attacked or something? Oh dear Hecate, they were getting attacked or something, weren't they.
But the sound kept going and soon enough she was at a window peering out to see what it was. The fright dissolved and then she had to admit she kind of just stared out 'cause it looked pretty. But she pulled herself away, got dressed and headed out of her dorm to see exactly what was going on. And then wondered if she regretted it. Because she was terribly bad with... anyone. Her brows creased and she debated slinking back to her dorm or darting to the library. Aaaa......
- - - - - - - -
Olivia hadn't arrived yet, mostly because she was trying to figure out how she had fallen asleep. And also couldn't move since she had fallen asleep on the pillows she had set out for her mini pets whom of which were all sort of passed out on her. Huh.

Quest Student, Snagged by Ren/(Kuro)
N’Finity Deevinar stood outside and watched the fireworks with wonder. Her parents had just dropped her off for the Open House. Dumped her off would be a much more apt description, but since she had zero interest in spending extra time with them—their arrangement suited her quite nicely.
At the last explosion of beautiful colors, she turned and entered the building, pulling the hood back on white capelet, straightening her dress and bright rainbow gloves. Her hair was piled up on top of her head in a messy bun that she had spent much longer on fixing up than one would let on. Butterflies danced in her stomach as she walked aimlessly around a main entry room. People seemed to be all over but she really had no clue how to start.
Besides the guest pass hanging large and obvious around her neck, she really didn’t have one single clue… except she was going to make the best of two days without her parents OR her brother.

"YES HELLO HI WHAT IS HAPPENING - oof."
A gust of wings was the only indication that someone had swooped down from who-knew where, followed by a crash, a bang, and then Ren had popped his head up, hands on his pinstripe-clad hips and looking around expectantly.
"DID I MISS IT?" he asked loudly, not exactly explaining whatever it was, and took several steps before colliding with someone - a ghoul, to be more precise, and who was wandering around looking vaguely dazed and confused and with a large GUEST PASS around her neck.
"Oh, hello!" Ren said brightly. "Who are you? Can I help you? HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?"
Clearly, after almost four years, Ren still had yet to grasp the concept of an inside voice.

N’Fi was beyond grateful that she hadn’t been holding onto a cup of coffee when the gust of wind, crash, and booming voice about startled her into screaming. Managing an undignified squeak she spun to look at the… well, she wasn’t really sure what he was. Her childhood had been spent 100% with other demons, so her education about others was sorely lacking. “W-Well, I’m not sure if you can help me… Are you helping to give tours? That’s what I’m supposed to do here today and tomorrow...” Most of this was spoken to her feet, as if they would be able to take her around. Lord, she needed to buck up and be less of a pansy. Had she learned absolutely nothing? Squaring her shoulders she looked up and offered a smile. . …. Babysteps.

[ QUEST STUDENT LOOKING FOR TOUR ] (chirigami/??? /???) Aloysious was pulled along in the press of bodies, gawking at the buildings and clutching his pass to his chest. The demon had dressed in his finest outfit, deep red with elegant orange and bronze embroidery. Now he stood, trying not to fidget nervously and failing as he shifted from one delicate hoof to the other. He'd dyed the fluff on his tail to match his clothes, and now he worried that it might look too pretentious, or backwater looking. He wanted to impress, but her certainly didn't want to look like he was trying too hard. It would be just awful if no one liked him... he flicked his ears up as people passed, looking hopeful and worried. When the fierce looking gnome schooled him with a VERY rude kick to the fetlock, Al gave him a terrified look, "Ah! OK!" His expression didn't change much even after the gnome wandered off.... chirigami O3o 1 TOUR DOWN, BUT OPEN FOR MORE

[ Enrolled Student - Olivia ] Finally free of the small horde of grumpkins, Olivia finally arrived where they were supposed to be gathered. And was staring straight up at all the awe that had been set up. All the banners, all the fireworks. It was all so pretty and for a fleeting moment, the odd dream that had so terribly disheartened the undead ghoul was out of mind. (And thankfully so, oh how she wouldn't want to wallow).
Moreso when she pretty much ran into someone else. Because, well, she wasn't looking where she was going.

 The noise had, of course, caused rather large ears to perk as the ghoul scampered to her window. And peered out curiously at the fireworks her tail swishing to and fro happily. "Oh a festival!?" She wasn't sure, and it really didn't matter. Because within a few seconds it seemed she'd flung her dorm room door open, slammed it(probably waking anyone asleep) and dashed down the hall. It wasn't long before she was out in the main area listening to the noise in all of her miniature were glory.
An open house? "GUESTS WE HAVE GUESTS!" The cry was probably loud enough to be heard over the other screeching, maybe. Then again, it didn't matter as he pranced over to peer at the people with orange tags, grinning at them all. "Hi hi welcome to our school!" Ok, so she was supposed to take one somewhere? "I'm Simply, a monster fro here!"

Weird dreams, waking up with such a headache, and probable internal questions aside. Molan felt alright. Until he thought he might have lost his hearing with the loud crashing outside and lifted a pillow to hold over his head. Who set off fireworks in the middle of-
Uhg what if he'd been studying or something? He grimaced at the thought before shaking his head and dragging himself out of bed. He felt stiff, but not much more than usual. It felt like it'd been a while since he was here, and a bit odd not to have those claws... He even gave his own tail a bit of a strange look before shaking his head. No, this was reality. That was a game. Logically speaking, it was best to be done with it. Though... he couldn't help the frown at the last sight he had.
His other self sending him back essentially. Taking his place. A sad thought. Not one he could change though. So with that in mind he decided to find out what the noise was about and got dressed. A bit later to the area due to wanting to look presentable(excuse you he'd been napping), he wandered out. He didn't bother saying much, even as he was practically shoved to the groups and so the primary noise was the jangle of bells as he walked up.
Right, well... it was best someone kept any eye on them. That way they didn't get lost. "If anyone needs assistance I could help." Though it seemed there were more than a few 'volunteered' students as it was.
