Sheridan had raised a brow at the sight of the posters plastered around the campus. He might have thought 'deth' was a careless misspelling of 'death', but he didn't think 'death' would be one to hug humans. For that matter, he was not especially inclined to hug a human either. Hugs were for his ghoulfriend, hugs were for his friends, for those he cared about. He was NOT hugging any human, ever, not happening!
And yet his curiosity had gotten the better of him, or maybe he just wanted to see if 'deth' really was a typo or not. Either way, he now stood in the auditorium, arms crossed, tail twitching behind him.
"Hmmm..."
The dragon's eyes narrowed to gaze in suspicion at the odd creature apparently speaking in his head (DO NOT WANT), a snort, but before he could turn to leave a gnome had pushed a piece of paper into his hand. A flick of his tail, he read the paper.
DETH SURVEY! HUMANS AND YOU!
Name: Sheridan
Year: three
How much do I know about Humans? Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking were human, hunters are human
What do Humans eat? furry things
What do Humans do in their spare time? I suppose that depends on the human
What is the best way to check you are scaring a healthy Human? ....
What is the difference between a Human and citizen of Halloween? is this a trick question?
If you saw a Human who was hurt, what would you do? depends on if it's a hunter or not
He scribbled his answers were roughly scrawled on the page, and perhaps some of them may have been rather...sarcastic. Truth be told, his knowledge of humans was lacking. He knew what he had read in his books, and he was well familiar with the works of many human physicists. Did he dislike humans? Certainly not, in fact he admired those works he had read, but that did NOT mean that he wanted to hug them!
However he also knew that hunters were human, or if they were not, they had at least been human at one time. Those humans he did not like, those he hated, those he want tear to shreds and dismember into tiny particles of frozen plasma!

Oh hey, they were filling out surveys now. Taking one from the gnome, Poke read over the questions, then scribbled down some answers to go with them.
DETH SURVEY! HUMANS AND YOU!
Name: Poke
Year: 1/ Snot
How much do I know about Humans? I've read books about them. Usually involving pirates and Knights. Sometimes Ninjas. Sometimes Ninjas and Pirates fighting.
What do Humans eat? vegetables (which taste like s**t)
What do Humans do in their spare time? say 'ARRRG' and look for buried treasure. Or ride around on horses and slay dragons (If the dragon had gone and torched a village or stolen their princess. This is why we can't have nice things).
What is the best way to check you are scaring a healthy Human? if they are in one piece and not three
What is the difference between a Human and citizen of Halloween? Humans are weak and are easy to kill.
If you saw a Human who was hurt, what would you do? Try to help them I guess. Depends if they're trying to kill me or not. Hunters can kiss my a**

The ghoul just smiled at him and chuckled. "That's okay! As long as I can't see them, I usually don't jump 'em. Do you mind if I call you Frost?" she said to him. Her attention was pulled to hte voice in her head and she blinked.
That was different.
She made a note of it in a small note book: "Note to self: Learn mind reading blocking techniques, or learn how to mind read."
And then she was given a survey, and took a moment to fill it out.Quote: DETH SURVEY! HUMANS AND YOU! Name: Hamika Year: 1 How much do I know about Humans? Um... They weild funny weaponry. What do Humans eat? ... Us? What do Humans do in their spare time? Plan our demise. What is the best way to check you are scaring a healthy Human? I've never scared a human...? What is the difference between a Human and citizen of Halloween? We have fur, ghosts, undead parts, and dragons. They have... none of those things? If you saw a Human who was hurt, what would you do? Make notes. Or eat their knees. Only the knees.

Momentarily distracted by the small imp that addressed her and Yaya, Belladonna only tried not to scowl at him and missed the whole "burny thing in the sky" discussion. Wasn't this the demon from... Scarentines' Day?! Oh Hecate, hopefully he didn't remember her or their strange conversation. It had ended abruptly and Belladonna had finally found a match she couldn't outwit with a well placed bounce and smile. No, this little demon was far too... Exuberant and driven for that. Thankfully she was saved by the survey and Belladonna broke her hold on Mort to rush forward and grab three. She returned and hand one to Yaya with a smile, passed the next to Mort with a quick kiss to his cheek and then turned to the last one saved for herself. Alright! DETH SURVEY! HUMANS AND YOU! Name: Belladonna Divine Year: 2 How much do I know about Humans? Not much. They don't wear a lot of black and their fashions tend to be a bit more subdued. Every once in a while they'll have someone fabulous who is a creative genius with a needle and thread, but not often. Sad really. Oh! They read interesting books. If you're into that sort of thing. What do Humans eat? Bright flowers and green grass and candy corn. What do Humans do in their spare time? Watch scary movies, read books, get lost in the woods What is the best way to check you are scaring a healthy Human? Ascertain that they are screaming at a appropriate level with a nice, steady volume What is the difference between a Human and citizen of Halloween? Besides the various genetic predispositions, their general adherence to a very similar and uniform appearance, there is also the matter of their dress. They're wretched at clothing themselves. If you saw a Human who was hurt, what would you do? I'm not trained to help injured humans, so I'd have to find someone who is. Like a teacher!

The paper handed to him he stared at the questions. He knew little personally, only what his elders had taught him and what he'd seen from the island. Which was very much counter to what he'd been told about humans. Overall? He was conflicted. Mostly because he was pretty sure his elders were right and the hunters were... unique. DETH SURVEY! HUMANS AND YOU!Name: Frost in the Storm Year: Two How much do I know about Humans? A group of them actively hunts halloweeners and apparently the source of many students hate of humans. They live often in groups and rarely travel alone. The majority of humans are harmless and weak. They have a prey mentality. What do Humans eat? Fruits of the earth, some creatures. What do Humans do in their spare time? Fight, get lost in mountains, cuddle to ward off the cold. What is the best way to check you are scaring a healthy Human? If they're alive. What is the difference between a Human and citizen of Halloween? One is prey, the other is not. If you saw a Human who was hurt, what would you do? Put it out of it's misery then take the meat. He rolled his eyes at some others and what they were saying though before looking to Hamika. "Frost is fine. Some call me King. One called me Frosty... though." Ears fell back,"I am not fond of that one." ----------- Somewhere else in the school, a theater teacher had a glass of human blood flavored beer and a mortal meat burger. He thought it was delicious.

Christof had his reasons for showing up. Humans... were not like Hunters. But Hunters began as humans. Parts began from humans as well. Dreamed up, based upon... Human Parts, his creator had said, were valuable indeed. Probably because their unstable properties, Christof supposed. Bringing them into Halloween was not possible. But there had to be a way, yes? There were layers of conundrums that only close studies could explain. He sat quietly in his seat as the other students twittered around him, carefully scribbling out his form. DETH SURVEY! HUMANS AND YOU!Name: Christof Year: 3 How much do I know about Humans? They explode upon entering Halloween. I can only assume normal-humans are even more combustible than Hunters. What do Humans eat? Human nourishment, meats and produce from their enviornment? What do Humans do in their spare time? Unsure. Possibly hunt us. What is the best way to check you are scaring a healthy Human? The releasing of bowels and other internal, non-red liquids I must assume. What is the difference between a Human and citizen of Halloween? We are creatures of Fear. I am unsure what Humans are creatures of. Perhaps all base emotions, as they seem to provide Joy, Fear, etc. They are the dreamers, we are the nightmares. If you saw a Human who was hurt, what would you do? Take measurements. He nodded, proudly. Yes, that would do it. ------- Enzo, meanwhile, had arrived late. Of course. Always. He slipped into a seat just in time for a piece of paper to be shoved into his hands. He frowned down at the immediate paperwork with a scowl as a few roaches attempted to drag out the pen that had been shoved into his cap. With a sigh, he grabbed it, clicked it open, and got it overwith. DETH SURVEY! HUMANS AND YOU!Name: Enzo Valentino Year: 1 How much do I know about Humans? They invented the Charleston What do Humans eat? A variety of cheeses. What do Humans do in their spare time? Dream up crazy things like dances and ways to die I guess. Human things. What is the best way to check you are scaring a healthy Human? Check the whites of their eyes. What is the difference between a Human and citizen of Halloween? No one swings like we do. If you saw a Human who was hurt, what would you do? Check their pockets. That done, he tore off a bit of the bottom, casually shoving it into his mouth to swash around a bit as he sat back, unscrewed the end of the pen until he had a decent straw, and promptly shot a spit-ball in the direction of a certain barnical-encrusted head a few rows up.

Ah, they had a loud one here!
Raising his eyebrows again at the stag, his mouth widened extensively, giving off a bit of a creepy look, as he regarded him. "Gla-sere, hm? That one is new." He stated, almost with a showy flair, giving the boy a curt nod, a showman's bow, bending at the waist almost perfectly, tail flicking behind his own, only to thump against the mess of tails Tomoko had beside her. It wasn't her fault.
"I am known as Jack-B-Nimble. Most people call me that." He offered. It wasn't his name, but, it fit him so well. "The pleasure is mine."

Taima listened with interest as the voice in her head described what, exactly, this human-loving organization was all about. It was an...interesting purpose, to be certain, but Taima had little-to-no desire to jump up and join the cause. She took a survey form from the gnome, reading it over before filling it out.
DETH SURVEY! HUMANS AND YOU!
Name: Taima
Year: 1
How much do I know about Humans? They are our primary prey.
What do Humans eat? Not Fear, so probably gross stuff.
What do Humans do in their spare time? Actively avoid getting scared.
What is the best way to check you are scaring a healthy Human? If it screams when scared and doesn't die of fright, it's probably healthy.
What is the difference between a Human and citizen of Halloween? If you scare a human, it will probably be afraid of you; if you scare a citizen of Halloween, it will probably just laugh at you for trying.
If you saw a Human who was hurt, what would you do? eat it Observe it for research purposes and take notes on its behavior.

Christof hefted himself from his seat like a good boy, after spotting a teacher collecting the forms, and promptly offered it out to the scaled woman with a look of serious determination on his face. ----- Meanwhile, in the back of the room, the often-missing Mad Science teacher limped his way inside, spotting the picnicker with a scowl. "Psst!" He hissed, pushing his glasses up his nose where it was stopped by the gauze taped over one of his eyes. His ear looked like Cricket had seen to it not too long ago, and his hair even more singed than usual. Just another day in experiments-gone-awry. "This is still considered a classroom should you really be drinking in here? What if the students see?"

Wait, who'd said that? It took Mort a few seconds of glancing about to notice the propped up imp who'd poked his head into the conversation. While he couldn't say anything about the guy's taste in heat, Mort didn't like the way he was looking at the ghouls, and while Bells went to get them surveys he growled a little at the demon - not anything note-worthy, but to show he was watching him. Something was familiar about his voice too, something recent . . . But before he could pick it out, his ghoulfriend was back with a kiss and a handful of questions he couldn't help but be a bit sarcastic to. DETH SURVEY! HUMANS AND YOU! Name: Mortimer McNeal Year: 3 How much do I know about Humans? They're Hunter stock and taste good if the brains we eat here mean anything What do Humans eat? Meat I guess, unless some are vegetarians What do Humans do in their spare time? Fight each other, make more spawn, then fight with their spawn What is the best way to check you are scaring a healthy Human? Screaming is good. Guns are bad What is the difference between a Human and citizen of Halloween? It takes only one death for them If you saw a Human who was hurt, what would you do? Seriously injured? Help the process along. Not so seriously injured? Always an opportunity to mine their thoughts for useful information. Following this, he had to wonder if it was really a good idea to come at all. "Field trip" no longer meant safety for the student body, though; Mort was compelled to make sure another catastrophe didn't happen, especially on the first real public event they would participate in as a couple. "Might be with professors this time, but . . . still don't like," he commented. "Still suspicious. Old habits die hard."

Selene ducked her head when one of the students heard her enough to respond, and the disappointment in his eyes made her own widen with horror. "Sss.. sorry, of course you are, ssssorry, excuse me." She was already ruining everything, and she'd been there all of five minutes. What a horrible excuse for a teacher! She hurriedly returned to collecting papers, refusing to read them until someone actually handed her one. She gave Christof a tiny nod, and turned his over to read it. -The releasing of bowels-Professor Selene made an audible gurgle of horror and, teary-eyed, decided that she shouldn't read the surveys anymore.

Having watched the petite professor make her way around the room collecting the first few surveys, Bea was eagerly waiting to hear what she had to say about hers. Only when the professor did come and sounded like she was saying something, the banter around the room made it difficult to hear.
"I HAVE DONE WHAT?" Bea raised her voice, "SUCH WHAT ANSWERS?" Her voice was too quiet for Bea to hear her. Was she praising her? Or was she lecturing her? Good thing? Bad thing? Before she got a clear answer from Selene, the prof had already moved on. "Guh!" Bea pouted back in her seat. Then suddenly. THROP!Bea felt a wet pellet hit the back of her head. When she reached back to touch it, she discovered it was a thoroughly moist wad of paper was entangled in her seaweed woven hair. "JACK DAMNIT!" Bea immediately looked back to see who the disgusting student was. In the crowd her eyes sharply darted towards the young boil in the back with stupidly thick eyebrows. Of course, she didn't know for sure it was him, but who else could it be? "ENZOOOOOOOOOO!"

As Mitsu began to write down Shun's answers the words started to sink in and she paused to look up at Shun to make sure he was serious. The pen was poised over the form but when it seemed that was what he really wanted to put down she hesitantly continued to write. When his form was done she passed it back to him her writing neat tidy and nothing like it used to look. Looking at her own form Mitsu began to tap her pen against the paper thoughtfully before she started to write, and cross out, and write....and cross out. It was a lot of repeating that process, looking up from time to time to make sure no one was watching her before she continued. At times she seemed to reference Shun's form for an answer when she finally gave up on coming up with her own though she played down the less violent parts. A lot. Quote: DETH SURVEY! HUMANS AND YOU! Name: Mitsu Year: 3 How much do I know about Humans? Humans are peop Creatures that produ That is a good question. What do Humans eat? food What do Humans do in their spare time? Things Shopping They talk a lot What is the best way to check you are scaring a healthy Human? They...run away screaming and don't have a heart attack? What is the difference between a Human and citizen of Halloween? There are many differences to note to tell.. FEAR If you saw a Human who was hurt, what would you do? stop and help When she was done Mitsu set her pen aside and stared at the mess of a form she had completed. With a light shrug she held it out to the teacher passing by so that she could turn it in.

"Thank you."Nodding to Mitsu, Shun idly looked over his form before passing it to the professor that seemed to be collecting them. He had to trust that she filled his out as he said it. That look she gave him earlier didn't make him feel too good but... that was how it was.

From Selene's shadow, an oddly tall creature appeared, stepping out of the darkness as if it were a doorway. A flash of wispy grey tentacles appeared behind his shoulders, a darkened halo of shadows behind his featureless white head. One of them gently, gently, touched Selene's shoulder before disappearing.
"Hello, Selene," X intoned, his voice raspy and dry, as if it were that way because of disuse.
