The stands surround three-quarters of the arena floor, providing a number of comfortable spots from which to watch the events below. Elves scamper about with trays of sugar cookies, gingerbread, and hot chocolate for spectators, and mawnitors display more intimate views of the student competitors as they fail miserably.
Participating students may enter the stands once they have completed the current task.

Please note: You are responsible for your own timelines here! This will be the main stands ORP during all challenges and your older RP might overlap with what's going on in future challenges if you stay here for a while. If you are concerned that your character might be addressed by someone during challenge four while you're still finishing up with challenge one, you might want to label your RP more like a drabble:
[ After the Obstacle Course ]
or
[ During Caroling ]
Something like that.

"This is it, Blob. The final event."
"The Festive Fight, Coward?"
"Right you are. We're going to be really quiet during this one, so that you all can concentrate on the slaps and smacks of underage children beating the tar out of each other."
"Blob Caustas and Coward Grossell here with another exciting House Cup event!"
"Today we've got the Candy Cane Quiz!"
"That's right, Coward! This quiz promises to strain the brains of even the nerdiest of nerds! There are five sections: language and grammar, mathematics, geography, science, and FEAR!"
"We've also got a little something special for Amityville graduates as well! They will be able to send notes down to our participants with helpful bits of knowledge in them!"
"No idle sitting around during this quiz!"
"So without further ado, let's get started! See you when the dust clears, everyone!"
Quote:
"This is Blob Caustas..."
"And this is Coward Grossell!"
"We'll be your announcers for this year's Amityville House Cup. This competition promises to be an exciting one! If you haven't already noticed by looking at your program, the outside of the stadium, or our setup here on the arena floor, the theme of this year's cup isCHRISTMAS!"
"That's right! Our Christmas Town neighbors wanted to measure our students' strength, speed, and academic skill for completely innocent and benign reasons, I assure you! Consider this a friendly show of prowess between holidays!"
"So make yourselves comfortable up there in the stands because these students are screaming to go!"

Let it be known that Hel Selie was REALLY UPSET that alumni weren't allowed to participate in this House Cup. She had a blast in the past one, especially when she almost won tug o war and almost took the cup. She had loudly protested how upset she was and even busted a few elf skulls, but alas, to no avail.
That aside, she was hanging around to see how the events would play out, and how many creeple would crash and burn and fail miserably. That was entertainment right there. Plus there were a lot of familiar faces who were competing, and maybe she could catch some of her fellow alumni in the stands!
The reaper had made herself comfy, slouched back in her seat with her booted feet propped up on the one in front of her. She had a mug of hot chocolate in one hand, and was currently munching on a gingerbread. She failed to notice all the crumbs that were falling into the depths of her bosom as she cackled at the events below.
Open for any and all interaction! Please feel free to poke her! : )

West was equally as disappointed that he couldn't compete, but in the end he decided it was for the best. He hadn't placed anywhere near the top last time, so there was nothing for him to defend, plus all of the other demons were bad at... pretty much everything. His race had always been more of an embarrassment than something to celebrate being a part of in these sorts of situations. Had he been a monster though... He sighed. Now was not the time to think about how much more of a badass he might have been. He might break his brain by pumping it up to infinity like that.
He strode through the aisles, gingerbread spookie in hand, avoiding reindeer and weird walking mistletoe people and looking for a place where no one would bother him. Unfortunately, before he could find anything like that he saw Hel and her Hungry Hungry CleavageTM just sitting there like she owned the place. Forever the masochist, West felt compelled to join her, and he readied himself for a chorus of MISSSSSSSSSSSes as he took a seat nearby.
"Havin' fun?" he drawled, looking out at the carnage rather than at the reaper.

[ After the Jolly Obstacle Course ]
Wrex was a little pooped after that affair with the trees at the end and was more than ready to curl up somewhere and take a nap or something before the next competition started. He felt pretty good about how well he had done despite the pangs from where the branches had swatted him, though, and he sucked on his candy cane with great relish.
The boil bounced on his claws and eyed a group of caroling elves in the stands, wondering if they were due for a good fright yet or not. Had to exchange the holiday spirit after all!
After running through that jackawful obsticle course, Amy was feeling a bit defeated. She was cold and a tiny bit wet, which made for one cranky plant. She's also been looking for her ninja boilfriend since apparently he knows how to dissappear into the crowd eventhough he's practiaclly a giant. Her vines wrapped around her waist snugly while she looked. "Siiiiiiiiiid!?" She sighed when she got no response, still searching.
Damned ninja dragon.

For the most part the obstacle course had been pretty easy for the dragon. It was a good test for his overall speed. Though he dreaded any of the coming events that were to come.
But he felt pretty refreshed after the run.
Clad in house colors, the outfit stood out like a giant sore thumb against his dark skin. But then there were a bunch of others wearing the same as him so it wasn't surprising that he blended in. At least a little bit.
Amy's voice cut through the crowd though which caught his attention. Sid made his way through all the creeple, finally spotting his ghoulfriend who was looking rather lost. "You look soggy."

Hel had stuffed half of what was left of the gingerbread into her mouth, and at the drawl, turned. "WEEEEEEEEEEEETH!" She replied....with her mouth full of gingerbread and spraying some crumbs around.
"Ith fawn nao tha yuu arr here!" The reaper continued, still talking with her mouth full before she finally swallowed what she was eating, and grinned wildly at him. "What have you been up to, friend!?" She slammed some hot chocolate, and then waved the bottom half of her gingerbread enthusiastically about in the direction of the arena.
"Utter disgrace that we can not participate, ya!?"
There hadbeen a moment where Hadiyya had considered joining the competition this year, but in the end she had opted out. Perhaps it could have proven a great stress relief, or a distraction for her own confusing personal life, but the ghoul had never been one to dive into anything so terribly...active.
Draped in her usual fine attire, the ghoul had added a dark blue shawl to cover her shoulders and small, delicate slippers to dainty feet. They whispered against the metal of the stands as she moved carefully along one of the rows towards a pair of familiar faces. "Hello Hel, Westus." With the latter name came a brush to the boil's shoulder as she took a seat beside him. "I hope you're both doing well."

[ The Jolly Obstacle Course (afterwards)
When Alexander had finished the obstacle course and received his prize, he had spent maybe thirty seconds skimming for Yin through the crowds of students before trudging away from the finish line and towards the stands, movingly sluggishly slow through the powdery snow in bare feet. It was cold, of course, but he didn't really notice, considering he was dead and cold all of the time.
Reaching the stairs that led to the seats above, the zomboil popped his candy cane into his mouth, sucking on it as he oh so slowly made his way up each step. He had told Yin that when they were finished with the course, it would probably be easier to find each other up here, away from the crowds. However, there was a small problem in that the weremantis might not even remember that Alex had said it, which is why, upon reaching the top of the first set of stairs, and after having a quick glance around, he pulled out his phone to shoot off a text to the other boil, simply to remind him of he plan, in case he had indeed forgotten.
And then he simply leaned forward on the railing and waited, hands clasped, while surveying all of those still milling about below, a small smile on his lips.
It was kind of nice to be back.

[ The Jolly Obstacle Course (afterwards)
Yin had, actually, remembered what he was supposed to do. The key to...everything now really...was routine and planning. Lots of planning. Going over planning. The problem came with actually making it to the stands in the cold, and now more than ever he was grateful for the dark green scarf wrapped around his neck.
Weaving his way through the crowd was simple enough, though he unconsciously twisted the ring on his finger as he kept scanning the crowd, looking for an unruly mop of normally (mostly) white hair sticking up above the rest. A smile started playing across his face as he went. It was time to go up and try to find Alexander after all, and at least he would have a sympathetic ear to all the nonsense he had just endured. They were in this together after all, even if they were technologically on different teams.
Still, he made good time, arriving at the stairs not soon after he finished. And not seeing Alexander. After a good twenty seconds of not seeing the zomboil the anxiousness started to set in, the unusual feeling of being back around so many people without having his bonded at his side not one he truly wanted to feel. So he scanned as he moved across the stands, darting down the far stairs at precisely the wrong time.
He was nearing the other stairs when a smile started playing across his face. It was time to go up and try to find Alexander after all, and at least he would have a sympathetic ear to all the nonsense he had just endured. They were in this together after all, even if they were technologically on different teams.
As he walked up the stairs his phone buzzed but he ignored it for the moment, he could always check it once he was at the top. Then he saw him, raising his voice to call out as he made his way over. "Alexander!"
Like the other alumni, Pokerus was disappointed she could not participate in the house cup, but she had let it slide, figuring there was no point in getting worked up over it. No, she would content herself with watching the competitors and see how they would fair.
Leaning back in her set with her feet resting on the next row, she leaned back and enjoyed some snot corn as the competition went on. Most of the competitors she didn't recognize (that blue pig looked familiar however...), all except a few of them.
When Deacon hopped onto the course she smirked, watching the bakenekos performance. It was nothing special, but he did alright. "Try not to fall on your a** Deacon!" She called out, only then remembering the cat was still pissed at her for telling on him to the principal. Oops.
Then it was Yuki's turn. She didn't know the ghost well, only through Deacon, and he's run was..alright. "Keep going Yuki!" She called out some encouragement, then blinked as she realized the ghost did better then Deacon did.
She might have snickered. Just a little.
But when a certain black dragon entered the stage, the dragoness was out of her seat, watching him like a hawk. It was the first time she had seen him without his armor, though he was still covered head to toe in the monster uniform. She wondered how he would far in the course.
And as he started it...he appeared to be doing well. Exceptionally well. Really jacking - Damn the boil could move.
"GOOO TANVIR!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, shaking her box of snotcorn and looking like a fool but she didn't care." GET THEM TANVIR! GOOOO! WOOO" The dragon was moving like lightening, and it was exciting to see him do so well!
Once he reached the finishing line she was hallowing and hooting like a madghoul.

Also enjoying the sights from the spectator stand, Astra watched them run through the course, curious at what the Christmas elves were going to throw at them.
She didn't say much as Yuki's 'friend', did his run, giving a half hearted shout of encouragement.
When Yuki went to start his course she frowned, still mad at the boil, but decided to cheer him on regardless. "Go Yuki, you can do it!" She called out, standing on the rails and waving towards him.
She continued to cheer him on as he ran through the obstacles. Jumping up and down when he finished his run. He did a lot better then Deacon did!
