Zar could have hugged Arel right then and there, for serious. Finding a loophole in paperwork right under the noses of the boogies. If Zar didn't have some small sort of hero before, he did now.
He nodded sternly at the information of the exams and headed off to try his hand at the written exam.

The newspaper was unceremoniously crushed in her hand as the frost demon looked on ahead at the commotion that surrounded the school. She had read the article a few days later since it first appeared, hoping that her fear wouldn't be realized. Alas, it did and the entire population now stood outside the compound's closed gates. Edel graced and let out a sardonic laugh. The bogeymen were really serious about keeping this quiet weren't they? Ignorance was such sweet bliss.
Far from joining the panic and confrontations with the bogeymen, staff and toters alike, the ghoul stood her ground and watched on silently. There was no point in panicking and rushing the next move, she would see what the rest had to say. Then the instructions came. Arel, so terrified and bullied the last time had pulled off something quite brilliant. A standardized test? The frost demon was prepared to stake everything on it and take it on.

West frowned as Mandy and Alwine rushed off, then turned to shrug at Holly. "Guess we're takin' some tests," he said, heading off toward the physical exam's Fear meter. It wasn't like he had anything better to do today.

Xander was a little taken aback by the weremantis's sudden anger and apparent agitation. He hadn't meant to get the other boil so riled up! He was very aware that it was likely his own unease that had made the mantodae get like this. He was just about to say something to try and comfort the boil, when he heard a sudden thump and turned back towards the gate, mouth slightly parted in surprise. It was..the school secretary? Alex thought he'd seen him in the office once when he had shuffled by. He strained himself forward so he could hear what was being said, though it wasn't too difficult as a sudden hush seemed to fall upon the crowd. Exams? Alex was a little unsure how to feel about that. Normally he would be quite confident but...he hadn't been at the school long. What if the questions or exercises were things he hadn't learnt yet? He guessed he wouldn't know until he gave it a try.... He glanced back to the weremantis, his face blank, his eyes slightly wider then normal. "You...you think we should give this a try? I guess it couldn't hurt.." Unless we fail miserably... He left those words unsaid though. He was already beginning to follow the crowd, as per usual, and heading towards the exam box.

Before the zomboil responded the figure of the secretary returned. It was distracting, and the weremantis turned to see what was going on. So there was a chance to help keep the school open, but it involved exams? Exams...were not something that Yin Cang was particularly comfortable with. He swallowed and nodded at Alexander. "I fear we have not choice in the matter."Or at least he did not. Do nothing and watch the school close or attempt something he would likely fail, well there was only one option. The school was different than what he had expected, perhaps this would not be as bad as he had feared? Maybe whatever he did could actually help. He followed, heading toward the box. "Good luck," he added hesitantly. Luck had nothing to do with it, but maybe he should just say it to be polite. May the Great Mantis be with us, he added mentally, that wish the one that truly mattered to him, but knowing that it would mean nothing to a non-Mantodae. ((Exiting to Exam))

The black dog was a ball of nerves now. He hated exams, he was never ready for them, even after studying, he never felt ready to take them. How he had managed to pass his last exam was beyond him, he was sure he would have failed... but he didn't. Maybe he underestimated his abilities...? Maybe he was better than he gave himself credit for..? Then again maybe not. It could have been sheer luck that got him through the exam. What's to say he would have the same amount of luck this time around?
"R-right, I'm going to go at least... try..." He muttered miserably, tail hanging limp behind him as his ears drooped. This was not going to be the highlight of his day. He was sure of that, especially if his Fear power re-coiled as badly as it had in the past.
Failure wasn't an option though. If they failed, it meant the school was really going to close. Arel had gave them all a chance to stop this. It was up to them now to try and stop it from happening.
Exiting!

Rain stuffed the napkin into her messenger bag. As she pulled her hand out, she noticed that a couple maggots were clinging to her fingers. Without thinking, she licked them off and ate them. At some point, she really needed to sit down and clean out her bag. It was starting to come alive from all the filth. "Of course we can work together," she agreed before running her tongue across her lips to make sure a maggot hadn't escaped. "We could probably even take the exam together!" She snapped her messenger bag shut and placed it over her head so that it would fall diagonally towards her waist. It was the only way she could keep it from flying off whenever she leaped. She gently unlinked her arm with Shine's and stood up. She studied the exam area. The first one she noticed was the Written exams. While she enjoyed writing, she wasn't any good at it. Her brain didn't work properly and it took her forever sometimes just to write a sentence. Writing was definitely hit or miss.. and more often than not, the latter. Healing and Defense was not something she would be any good at either and Spells and Hexes was even worse! She was about to lose all hope when she noticed the Physical Education exams. That was perfect! But what was perfect for her might not be for her friend. "Shine," she paused briefly, offering her friend a hand. "What do you think about the physical education exam? Would you like to take it with me?"

Gilly was rather lost for most of the morning when the other students were getting ready for their classes, and was probably the last one to reach the school. There was a huge crowd of students and faculty crowded around the school gates. She could barely see what was going on over the heads of all the other students, but she could tell they were angry.
She tried to see her way through to the center of the commotion and found a small viewing hole through the arm holes of a few students. There was a hush over the crowd as she saw one of the professors throw down a box full of papers and confront one of the scary guys blocking the entrance.
"What was going on?" Gilly thought out loud.

Tes...testing? To save the school? Temes had come in so late to everything, so far behind for everything, but she did manage to hear just a little bit of what she needed to know. She would need to take a test if she wanted to help save the school.
But what kind of tests where there? She could only see a few of them listed from where she stood and, given the fact people were in a constant state of movement she wasn't likely to get close enough to notice.
It wasn't until she heard someone speaking that she squeaked, deciding to answer. "Um...they.,..they are trying to close the school down, unless we take some tests." That sounded about right.

Maggots! Rain was the best. The fellow zombie's actions almost made Shine smile again, but the amusement didn't quite reach her lips. She gnawed on her lollipop thoughtfully as she watched Rain gather her bag and look over the examinations, slowly turning the confection into a dangerously jagged pinwheel of sugary destruction. Her frantic thoughts slowed and her nerves calmed again, leaving her wondering why she'd had any doubts to begin with. Of course it was going to work out. Of course. Just like Rain said. She stood, wobbly on the legs that she'd previously had crunched together into a ball of zombie, tugging anxiously on the hem of her shirt. Were there even any exams for zombies? Surely they would have something for them, despite it all looking like it had been created so long ago. When Rain returned with a suggestion, all of her worries dissipated. "Yes, I...yes, I can be fast?" It seemed like something that would be useful in a physical education exam. Careful to not to jab her with her claws - they were so bothersome sometimes - she took her offered hand. And this time the smile showed.

Zurine had been intending to go to the maul this afternoon, she had of course read the article in the paper a few days earlier but had brushed it off as mostly paranoia of some sort - I mean surely no one could actually believe the school harbored terrorists right? It was probably just some reporter trying to stir up trouble - everyone knew that reporters dealed in sensationalism rather then reality - and as a result she had mostly pushed it to the back of her mind expecting everything to blow over as long as nothing else happened to bring the school back into the limelight.
But it didn't look like that was going to be the case, surely something must have happened for there to be such a riot like crowd in front of the gates and both curious and warily cautious - after recalling the last time she followed a crowd somewhere - she headed over to see what was happening. Maybe angry words were being spewed about and recognizing some of the faces around her she gave them questioning looks while trying to push herself close enough to the front of the crowd to see what was going on. When she got close enough to read the signs and hear what was being said well..she was shocked to be honest.
Close the school? How could they do that? The school had been an institution in this town for well..longer the Zurine could recall at the moment...and besides she'd just gotten there! She had only managed to take one class and she hadn't even finished the homework for that yet...cause seriously she couldn't think of how the heck to scare someone with..beans...but that was neither here nor there.
People were muttering about tests and Zurine was able to grasp enough information that she deduced that she could help the school by attempting to take one of the exams that Arel one of the staff members was unpacking. Well..she wasn't sure just how well this would work out but..she had to try didn't she? She wasn't ready to leave the school when she'd only just gotten there and started to make friends! If only it wasn't an examination however..Zurine wasn't the greatest test taker in the best of time but having this sort of pressure added to it just wasn't going to help matters any. None the less everyone else seemed to be doing it and resolutely she marched forward to take one of the booklets before heading off to find a quiet spot nearby where she could sit and work.

Mortimer saw a green-eyed boil leave the same area he had just come from, looking more confident than the zombie did. Perhaps his written exam went better? "How went?" he posed, tucking his journal back into the messenger back; the rose was still buried in his other hand.
He also saw Chuppi with what looked like a walking fish and, needing someone familiar to be nearby, he tried to wave the ghouls over. "Which test g-go for?" he asked them.

"Mo...Mort." Chuppi hadn't seen Mort since the auditions and honestly? She'd been avoiding him once she noticed he didn't have a part. It made her miserable to think that and she had almost wanted to quit but....wouldn't that had made it worse? Yes, it was good then that she decided to stay in the play. "I....I'm not sure yet. I was thinking written, or something? I am not very strong so I am not certain for all the others."
Chuppi certainly couldn't heal and she was aggressive enough to try using her fear for anything. "Though....I do hit hard if I try? I don't know what to do. What did you do?" Had Mort already done something? He had asked someone something about how things went, so. . . .

The play was the last thing on Mort's mind, though had he remembered he would have given the chupacabra a warm congratulations - if only to hide his inner FFFFFFF. "Maybe PE one?" he suggested. "S-Saw last fight with Hunters, thought v-very good." It had been satisfying to see her spines dig into the fake monster while he had been, once again, trapped in the net. "But does what wants. You 'kay though?"
