What is the Human World?
The Human World goes by many names: The Crossroads, The Fleshy Lands, The World of Twelve, The Buffet.
To Halloween, this other world has one very vital asset: FEAR
The FEAR of the human masses is what the world of Halloween is made of, and that FEAR continues to create new lands and creatures within Halloween. From it's dirt to it's denizens, its all FEAR. Creating and harvesting new FEAR from the human world is considered a duty for all those who dwell within Halloween.
How do you get to the Human World?
There is a single door to the Human World, that leads to many different locations. Haunted houses, shadowy closets, eerie caves, spooky swamps, any place that often gives humans the creeps is capable of creating a doorway back to Halloween.
Passports are required to enter the Human World and to get back to Halloween. Losing your passport in the Human World, means your stuck there for a time, until someone notices your missing and bring you a new one. THIS CAN TAKE A REALLY LONG TIME. Some of the truly long-lasting haunts and monsters seen over the years in the human world are a result of creatures being irresponsible with their passport.
Student movement between worlds is monitored very closely, so it's rare for them to have to wait more than a day or two for a rescue. Nose Goblins are not allowed into the human world except on field trips, monitored by a teacher.
What does this mean for my student's past?
Your student should not have visited the human world prior to enrollment at the Academy. They will have heard about the human world mainly though stories, books, and the occasional bit of smuggled goods.
The exceptions to this are Ghosts and Undead.
- Ghosts should not be able to remember a great deal about their life, or about the Human World.
--- They are ushered to Halloween by active Reapers
- If an Undead is raised while in the Human World, the time it spends there should not be very great (they fall apart too easily if not maintained by Halloween's FEAR)
--- They have several ways to reach Halloween
