Behind the blinding facade of the booth sits an equally bright and cheerful Thackery, surrounded by FEAR candies and keys and minipets and minipet accessories. You can almost smell the terrifying glitter nearby, mingling with the scent of freshly baked cakes and freshly shampooed minipets.

There are coins scattered across the surface of the booth - on closer inspection, they appear to be shiny recreations designed after a Charon's obol. A thick book sits near the corner of the book, dog-eared and bookmarked with bits of magazine clippings sticking out, closed with a small lock: if you ask him about it, he'll happily explain!

If you squint carefully at one of the posts supporting the back of the booth, you might see a crinkled picture taped to face Thackery. It looks like a familiar student, but seems to be one of the only things he doesn't want to talk about.

Last (but not least!) is a little jar in the front, labeled with "DONATIONS" in loopy script. A smaller icky note posted in front of it details that the donations earned here will go to the Student Council, regardless of the election's outcome.

There is a handful of silver seeds already inside, and it sure looks like they could use some friends. Like maybe some friends from your pocket.

The Campaign For Treasurer


Maybe Thackery hasn't learned the ins-and-outs of being the scariest boil out there yet, but his time at Amityville has taught him the importance of uplifting cliches like friendship, togetherness, and unity. He's full of optimism and really believes that really working together can bring success to anything, no matter how serious the problem.

He's running on the platform of FRIENDS FOR EVERYONE group fundraising, and will be advocating for both clubs and students to offer their unique talents to earn money to be spent on things that students want (or need, needs are good too!). Everyone is at this school to enhance themselves, and Thackery thinks that embracing that individuality is important in all aspects of their time here. It just so happens that one of his unique species-related talents is to be Jacking good at guarding things - combined with his other ideals, he thinks that serving as Treasurer would be the best thing for everyone.

His obsessive personality can be a little unsettling at times, but when he means well, it generally has a good outcome for...most of us. When he decides that something needs to be done, he's stubborn, insistent, and will follow his cause to the ends of Halloween. This was most recently visible in his attempts to hunt down the lost keys of Amityville and expose Arel as a dirty rotten key-thief.

Usually, his organizational fixations surround kitsunes, but the 'Book of Seed Stuff nearby' seems to indicate that his focus has shifted for the sake of this campaign. As a pup who has had some ridiculous ideas that he was pretty certain about, no idea is too small or too large or too lumpy or far-fetched or crazy to him, so don't by shy if you have some suggestions to add!

That glimmer in his eye makes it seem like he's a little too eager for this.


Behind The Fluff


Thackery is a Year 3 Cerberus who arrived at Amityville Academy 2 OOC years ago, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.He's still pretty much bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, but that doesn't mean the difficult problems and situations of suffering haven't been just that. A large part of his optimistic philosophy is just part of his nature as a Cerberus - he knows it's better to just try to move on than to linger on the things that hurt us.

His hobbies are plentiful and scattered all across the board, including (but not limited to): anything to do with minipets, scrapbooking, dancing, fashion exploration, reading, and fanfiction writing. He'll try just about anything once, and will never openly admit that he's bad at something. Just...that...maybe he could do with some improvement. He considers everyone his friends, but they've got varying degrees of friend-level, of course.

Though it's still a sore spot to talk about, he strongly stands behind the prevention of Insanity, and understands a little too well how destructive it can be. Other issues of importance are proper key protection, proper kitsune protection, proper minipet protection, and...you get the point.

In his first year at Amityville, he ran for the position of Public Relations, but now thinks he could do a better service to his peers in the Treasurer position.

☆♥✧Purikura Minipets Desu!✧♥☆


Unity for everyone means including our fluffy/scaly/slimy little pals!

There is a miniature photo booth set up so you can remember your Fright Night debut as a minipet fashion designer, or to take pictures of your own minipets dressed in the props if you happened to bring them along. The pictures come out looking a little embellished, however...what's in that thing?!

Available Booth Minis:

Kari - Considers herself royalty and is definitely a diva. The only attention she cares about is worship and pampering.
Dexxy - Bubbly and friendly, he's eager to do absolutely anything that might even kind of seem like playing.
Princess Cinders - Looks like she's doing you a big favor by even acknowledging you. Very exasperated.
Tephra - Seems playful, but has a bit of a wild streak. And a fiery bite.
Bee would be here, but is helping out at the K9 booth. Go visit him if you have the chance!

Available Accessories:
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. - Bow

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. - Bow Tie

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. - Bandanna

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. - Cape

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. - Frilly Collar

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. - Gem Collar

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. - Spiked Collar

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show. - Tiny Shirt

The OOC Scoop On This:

Your student will need to 'dress up' a minipet, which can be one of the ones lounging around the booth, or one of your own. There are no benefits to either one, so pick whichever you'd like! They can be dressed in as many or as few accessories as you choose.

The minipet will then judge you. It'll judge you so hard. If its reaction is good, you did a satisfactory job to the minipet's taste. If it seems a little bitey, well. Not so much. Minipet happiness is determined by rolling a 1d12: lower numbers are unhappier minipets, and higher numbers are happier minipets. The scaling is all arbitrary between that, so reactions in RP are entirely up to you. You just aim to have the happiest pet!

Tokens will be awarded for the top ten students with the happiest minipet at the end of the day.

You can then use the photo booth to capture your job well done - and if you'd like one, you can request a 'copy' of your picture. This will be a chibi of your minipet with whatever clothing it's wearing, plus a decorated version that looks a little something like this.

If you don't want to take a photo in the booth and just want to bring your minipet by to say hello, you can also request a chibi of your minipet, with any photo booth or campaign accessories.

Booth tokens 'reset' at 3 am EST/12 pm PST.

Today was the big day.

Well. Not the big day, Thackery supposed. One of them, at least.

It seemed like a much bigger deal this time around. Running for Public Relations was fun, but almost a joke compared to this. To make time for preparing he'd cut into his sleeping hours to avoid cutting into his Time With Ash hours, and though he snapped in and out of brief moments of lethargy, he did seem to be trying very hard to appear as friendly and approachable as a dog possibly could. There was a vague hint in his eyes that said something like "adopt me".

Absently, he scratched Kari behind the ears. But Dexxy sure looked like he could use some pettings too, and he couldn't leave out the others, and before he knew it he'd spent almost ten minutes just fawning over how cute they were. He hoped that they wouldn't prove to be too much of a distraction, considering how important it was for him to get his point acro...but how couldn't they be, look at those cute widdle--

Focus, Thackery. He took a deep breath and distracted himself by straightening some of the coins, stacking them into neat little piles.

Rhiannon was drawn in by the puppy eyes. Not being a student she couldn't actually vote but she still went to check out the booth.

Dressing up minipets sounded like fun. She choose the bake-kitsune Kari to dress up. She started with a bow, placing it in front of the right ear. Then added the gem collar and finished with the cape.

Stepping back she nodded to herself. She just wished there was a tiara to finish the look.

The mini pet seemed to regard her with a small amount of approval.

On his way to play another game, Aedan noticed a booth that he could have sworn was closed, when he'd walked by this area earlier in the evening. Ah well, it gave him a good excuse to go check it out now!

As he got closer, he realized this was a campaign booth--he supposed it didn't hurt to at least check it out, since he'd been away so long that it was hard for him, as things stood, to have any real idea as to what any of the candidates were like. Looking over the booth, he noticed the minipets dress-up station. "Why would minipets need to dress up?!" He murmured, mostly to himself.

He couldn't say that it sounded all that engaging for him...but the wriggling in the messenger bag he'd slung over his shoulder (the better to carry his loots!), told him that one of the minis he was toting about thought it sounded like a wonderful idea.

Opening the flap, he lifted out a happily wriggling comet glorn. "Galaxia...sometimes, I wonder about you." He muttered, but gave her an affectionate scratch nonetheless.

Rummaging through the items available, he picked up a few, muttering softly when the enthused minipet got herself tangled up in the tiny shirt, forcing him to take a few minutes to extricate her.

Unfortunately, when he decided Galaxia was as 'well-dressed' as she was going to get, and stepped back to allow her to admire his handiwork...she was not impressed. Ah well, maybe next time.

Dressing up minipets. Yes please. Freya was all over the new booth the moment it opened, settling down and picking out which minipet she was going to slather with little accessories until it could not stand. She chose the fire puppy, because it just seemed so happy to see her!

Oh, the little fiery fluffball seemed so happy with the choices Freya had made for it! Now if only it wouldn't keep setting the cape on fire..

I'm dressing up Derpy!
They're wearing: A Muffin themed Bandanna and a matching muffin themed bow for her head.
Do you want a picture of your job well done? Yes. Muffins and Muffins?
Minis username: Derpy

Danny wasn't in a habit of publicly showing off Derpy. She had this habit of crashing into things and causing havoc; but seeing Derpy was the only one near-by he would have to make due with what he had.

I LYKE COMPETITIONS AND MUFFINS!

She giggled out to Danny as he put on some muffin based clothing on her. It wasn't the best job, but it was the only clothing he could find with muffins on it.

"So uh Ditzy Doo what do you think?"

She lolled her tongue out from one side of her mouth as one eyeball looked at the bandanna and the other looked at the bow. A slight amount of drool rolled off her tongue and hit the table as she seamed in deep thought.

NEEDS MOR MUFFINS!!!!!

She scowled both eyes switching direction once again. She was obviously in DEEP DEEP thought. Though it couldn't have been more then a monkey scribbling with crayons on a wall- there really WASN'T much going on in Derpy's head.

BUT OVERALL DERPY LYKES IT!

She grinned at Danny as her eyes googled again. He reached his hand forward and stuck her tongue back inside of her mouth. He was at least trying to make her some-what showable. But this was Derpy. It was not going to happen as much as he wanted.

"Here have some muffins. You've done a good job. Nothing has been broken or destroyed."

He slid her a bag of fresh muffins that had just been baked from one of the food booths. Derpy squeed with delight so much that he swore he was going to loose his hearing.

As the minipets were dressed up and placed in the photo booth one by one, Thackery admired the fashionable handiwork of his peers. Not bad!

Their tiny minipet outfits were so adorable, in fact, that he was too distracted to notice Dexxy reaching into the pumpkin full of FEAR candies. The Kitsupeito stretched just a little too far, and...yep, there it went.

The pumpkin toppled off of the booth and sent a cascade of candies across the front of his booth. And with all of the minipets surrounding them, this was going to be interesting.

"Oh Jack, uh." He kneeled and tried to scoop up as many as he could, fending Dexxy away. "If you don't mind, could you..." He peered up at the students nearby. "I'll give you stuff to pick up the candies for me." That was proper bribery.
