Today was the birthday of the original April Fool, Glen da West. Oh, his mother threw him the party to end all parties! I've never tasted coffincino-flavoured cake before in my unlife. It was...interesting.

Every body was there, from Toralei and the twins to Frankie Stein and her ghoul crew. I even accidentally bumped into Invisi Billy at the punch bowl! I apologized, of course, but he said he didn't mind wearing Red Ghoul punch - it helped other people watch out for him! Glen was in his element at the centre of everyone's attention, of course. He was telling stories about Skull Shores. I know that Frankie was uhhh-mazed to hear that there was a resort on the South end of the island - I guess she had some strange adventures there over Spring break as well!

The party got very loud and very rambunctious after the unveiling of Kai Merha's portrait of Glen and I became a bit overwhelmed with SO many boos and ghouls talking at me so loud and so fast. Tori and Hellene found me being crowded into a corner of the dance floor and rescued me down one of the long, darker corridors everyone else seemed to be ignoring. Whew!

Glen's castle home is a large, sprawling place and we got....a bit lost on the way back to the party after I collected myself. We didn't mean to snoop, we really didn't, but would it kill Ms. da West to put labels above some of the doors? We found a laboratory, a lavatory, a lunchroom and a passage that I think led to King Arthur's castle on Avalon, but no way back to the party! The strangest of all was when I thought I had found Glen's bedroom, but when I opened the door I was nearly buried in about three thousand stuffed bears. Not even were-bears or vamp-bears....just normie stuffed bears! What was THAT about?!

Finally, when we'd almost lost all hope and were resigned to spending the rest of our unlifes wandering the hallways of Glen's castle, Manny found us. I should have known that my minotaur would be able to navigate that maze. He led us back to the dance floor (though he probably didn't really need to say to Hellene and Tori that 'ghouls have no sense of direction'), and he and I had one last dance before the party finally wrapped up.

I really should ask Glen about that strange bear room.
