[QUEST CHARACTER LOOKING FOR TOUR] - Claimed by Face your demons
Maximus had been rather alarmingly jarred from sleep and dreams. He wasn't sure what had happened with the dream, perhaps it was... Lag... On his part, but he swore everybody had moved on without him while he'd gotten stuck in one spot. Regardless of what happened, though, he was a wake, now, and had no top hat or coat or... He wiggled his toes.
Shoes.
The fireworks were hard to miss, and the sphinx was soon dressed and found himself approaching the source - Amityville. That's right... Tonight was the open--
He was suddenly shoved through the throng of bodies, his wings snapped up against his body to protect them from injury, and somewhere along the way he found himself possessing a guest pass. He stared at the garden gnome, wanting to kick it, but not wanting to injure his toes or break a claw.
The food was tantalizing, but the sphinx found himself moving off to the side instead, just trying to not get CRUSHED. "How does anybody MOVE around here...?! And my parents want me to come here...?!" Was it ALWAYS like this, or was this just for the Open House? Managing to get a cup of punch, he opted to crowd watch for a moment to see if there was somebody he could go on a tour with. If anything... He was curious about seeing more of the school.

Andranis Hello! O uO would you like a tour from Amarus?
She had probably chosen a particular student because he had wings, and she had an uncharacteristic fondness for anything that reminded her of birds; birds and plants, after all, just got along with her. Even if her plants tried to bite her.
"What, can't turn intangible?" she asked Maximus, her expression blank, mirror-silver eyes staring at him without blinking. Then, the corner of her mouth tilted up into a smile, and she placed a hand lightly on her chest as she introduced herself. "I am Amarus, a Resident Assistant for the Ghosts, and leader of the small club Animus Aegis; I am also a Lotus Eater. Would you care for a tour? Or are you content to be smothered?"

[ ENROLLED STUDENT - Amrita ]Even through the crowd, Amrita noticed someone returning - she was sure that she had seen them leave with someone else not too long ago. There was no way they should have returned this quickly; perhaps something was wrong? Curiousity now fueled her and the Patchwork with the backwards hands and feet made her way through the crowd, stopping near the young man.
"Hello." She greeted, a smile on her half-exposed face. "Is everything alright? Did you get separated from your tour guide?" Concern edged into her voice, and understanding as well; it was very easy to get lost on campus, even if you had been here for years.

As soon as Ezra had found himself back within the crowd, he was approached by another young woman, who seemed far more toned down than the last. She must have seen him when he initially departed with Simply and had noticed how brief of an encounter that had been. He returned her smile and shook his head to her question.
"No...No, I am not lost. Thank you for asking, however. I did not feel comfortable with the tour guide who led me away, so I was curious to see if I could find another who might be a better match for me. Are you a tour guide for this day? Would you be available to give me a tour of this campus?"

Face your demons That would be lovely! O3O heart The sphinx blinked, turning to the ghost. "Oh! No... No I can't..." He finished his punch, then found the appropriate place to leave the empty cup. He started to offer a hand, then thought better of it. Due to intangibility, ghosts weren't exactly great for hand shakes, since there was nothing to grip. "I'm Maximus, um... Prospective student." He looked around, then siddled closer to the ghost. "My parents want me to come here, because.. Well..." He motioned down at himself. "Sphinx don't normally come in WHITE, or nearly so FUZZY, and they hoped I could learn to, you know... Scare effectively despite it..." Skeletons but he hoped she didn't call him adorable... "And yes, I'd like a tour... Being smothered isn't particularly fun, and I'm amazed I haven't been yet!"

Andranis OH GOOD f O uOf Hey do you have a link to his quest thread or a place I can read about him for my own sake? <3
She didn't really do handshakes, but that had nothing to do with it, so she didn't bother to offer her own hand in response. Lucky boil. "Maximus. Maximum. Maxim-- lots of things you can make out of your name. Are you a Mus for short, a Xi for short, a Max? An ax?" Amarus had gone on a bit of a dreamy tangent, tilting her head to the side, bells ringing.
She stopped talking abruptly. She would never call anyone adorable, on the bright side, and she had nothing to judge him on. "Perhaps your parents have your best interests at heart, then-- I like to believe we surpass the forms we inhabit," she answered instead.
"Must suck, having to breathe," she joked, the corner of her mouth tilting up again. There was a time she would have refused to admit any of this, but now she had learned to look at her spectral traits as strengths instead of markers of weakness. "What would you like to see, Maximus? What kinds of things do you enjoy, more accurately?"

Yayoi *undead puppy wags his tail happily!* Kenta accepted the proffered hand and shook it. "Uh.. Yeah. I'm kinda lost as to what to do. I'm Kenta, prospective student I guess." He gave a nervous grin. "What's there to see in the school?" It was another undead.. he thought.. she could have been a monster but she didn't seem to fit that category... Maybe a reaper? She did look humanish.... but... "You an undead too?" He asked curiously.

"I see." Amrita hummed thoughtfully, her gaze drifting away to scan the crowd. She hadn't heard any complaints about the ghoul she had seen lead this potential student away, but who knew what happened. "I am, and I would be happy to! My name's Amrita, I'm currently the Vice President of the Student Council." But she was an alumni now, and not technically a student; they had let her stay to finish her term on the Council despite graduating. As she introduced herself she extended her left hand for the simple fact that her hands were twisted at the wrist, making them backwards from what should have been a natural placement. Her left hand was, by the thumb placement, her right.
"Was there anywhere you were looking to go first?"

The crowd was huge and hard to get around in but that didn't stop Miyu and Toma from marveling at everything Toma had climbed onto his place on Miyu's shoulder to avoid being stepped on which not so long ago was shared by a March Hare and Magiban Time Lord Miyu still couldn't believe that whole dream lasted only one night The pare push through the crowd weaving in and around creeple of all sizes their own smaller size working to their advantage till finally they reach the food table having had only a very small breakfast due to being late both looked longingly at the food on the table before finally deciding to grab some

[ Enrolled Student - Maple ] She honestly didn't expect it to take that long for someone to come up to her, it had taken a little longer but Maple figured eventually she would be spotted. There was some like cruel plan somewhere that would never let her get away. Still startled her, however, jolting her to awareness and she turned wide brown eyes to the boil in question. "O-oh, uh.. n-no, I'm n-not." There could have been another meaning there, if one was aware. But, it just seemed like she was unattached to any specific creature as of yet.
The witch let out a shaky breath then pursed her lips for a moment, hesitant as always on where to take conversation. Her hands weaved themselves together. Then she noticed his guest badge. Oh. "Oh.. a g-guest... uh.... um. H-hello. I'm Maple Ziege." She stammered as usual, even in greeting, and held out a hand to shake. It was a little uncommon for her to do so, usually she curtsied or bowed or something, but she had worried it would seem a little weird.
"I.... uh.... w-wouldyoul-likeat-tour?" And just sort of shot that one out at rapid speed. She was nervous. But that's what they were supposed to do, right?

[ QUEST STUDENT LOOKING FOR TOUR ]Ryou had woken up with an exceptionally large headache. What just happened...there was the-- He grimaced. There were something with really a lot of limbs and spines and eyes and then there were angry cupcakes that attacked--He jumped as he heard an explosion in the distance. Looking blurry out the window, he tried to remember what he had just been dreaming about but it just hurt his head to think about it. It had felt so long and real and there were just so many things. He thumped his head on the window sill for good measure.
Okay, he was definitely awake now. He looked at the fireworks again. Right, that's was it. Amityville Academy. Open House. Gotta get going.
He quickly dressed and went to the campus gates. What am I--- Ryou got shoved into the crowd as people behind him tried to get in. He quietly cursed under his breath. He couldn't see whatever was going on because he couldn't look over the crowd's heads. Why can't I be taller... He felt a guest pass shoved into his hands and himself pushed right through the open gates.
Ryou stood there rather awkwardly and confused. "Right...errrrr...what am I supposed to do...?"

[ Guest Student -- taken care of ] Cervantes woke up to a very loud pop, hiss, and flare of colours. He immediately became extremely excited, tail whipping back and forth, and he was so very glad to be awake and free of the puppets. Finally, awake and in action! Van was also pretty thrilled to be back at Amityville, on top of that. He put a guest pass on, and trickled in with the other students. This was a lot less like fun, and a lot more like being bullied, but Van was just so happy to be there that he didn't seem to care.
"I wonder if any of my friends are around," Van said, surveying the area, tail whipping back and forth as he tried his best not to start jumping up and down in an unseemly fashion to get a better look at everything. He felt very short.
Moments later, he lost to his urges, and was in fact jumping.
He spotted a very bright pink ghoul, and waved enthusiastically, for no other reason than she looked like she was fun and also she had no guest pass on which meant maybe she could take him somewhere other than this crowded place. "Hellooooo, strange ghoul!"

Mei's grin faded to a warm, cheerful smile as he shook her hand. He seemed like a nice boil, oh she hoped he would come to their school! It was always nice to see all the new little brain nuggets running around every year. "Its ok, everyone is a bit lost at first. Coming to a big new school is intimidating for some but once you figure your way around you'll be okie dokie."She tapped the side of her nose with a slender finger. "Correct, I am an Undead. Jiang Shi to be specific." Slipping her hands into her billowy sleeves, she turned to stand side ways facing him. "There is lots to see! You'll want to check out the Undead dorms yes? Of course. There's the library, the gym, classrooms. I like hanging out around Moira's shack, she's the school janitor but totally cool! Moira's a head crab zombie and my mentor. She's got all these neat inventions!"But now she was getting a head of herself. "Is there anything in particular that you might have an interest in? We can probably find some place to explore that'll tickle your fancy."

[QUEST CHARACTER LOOKING FOR A TOUR]
Sucre frowned at the pass in her hand as it had literally sunk into her palm. In her haste she had forgot to grab a pair of gloves and the odd nightmare had left her with little sleep so her goo was suffering for it. She wiggled her hand around violently till the pass flung and hit a boil in the back. After a fit of laughter she hastily apologized between giggles and, wiping it as clean as she could, stuffed it into her pocket. She wasn't nervous, just a bit overwhelmed. Where did she even start?

"Excellent!" The motherly ghost chirped, letting go of his arm. The boil was obviously uneasy about the whole thing, but she would stay chipper and hope the boil would end up comfortable with the whole process.
Just as she was about to leave with Nik, Gene noticed another ghoul with an orange pass around her neck. Maybe a group tour would be most comfortable? "Excuse me, hon, do you need a tour group?" She asked brightly, phasing over towards her with a beaming smile. "I'd love to show you around."
