My, my what a stressful week it’s been and it’s only half over! If you’re feeling frightened, anxious, overwhelmed, or upset, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or another cabin prefect. We’re here to help!

I think we could all use an itty bitty brain break. How ‘bout a quick game of Would You Rather - Halloween Edition? Feel free to ask your own!

Would you rather live with a poltergeist for a month or be locked in a room with an acromantula for thirty minutes?

[Prefects]

Great news! Prospero and Mrs. Acuña agreed to help us with a costume crafting construction night. We only have a few more weeks! When works best for those of y’all who’d like to be involved?

[Maggie, Tabby, Nate]

Are we taking dates to the Halloween dance this year?

Poltergeist. Poltergeist for sure.

Would you rather have a pumpkin for a head or candy corn for fingernails?

[chryseis]

But what if the poltergeist constantly made a mess of all your things???

Hmm... candy corn for fingernails. I'd always have a snack with me!

[cygninae]

Is the acromantula hungry?

[chryseis]

Well, he's not completely full.

That's great news, Cricket! Thanks for taking the time to follow up. I'd be more than happy to help out and my schedule's pretty flexible apart from the camping trip this weekend.

Prefects

[chryseis]

It was no problem. Ms. Poe wa I'll be at the camping trip this weekend too, so maybe next weekend? Give everyone a little time to think of what they actually want to construct.

MTNC; i just legit spent 10 minutes trying to be clever w the ward name #priorities

[birdbrainy]

I can honestly say I hadn't given it more than a single thought.

MTNC; smush names are impossible!! Natabiggicket :/

[chryseis]

Naaaaaate, think about it! I have to plan for these things.

BONE A VAMPIRE OR A WEREWOLF?

[chryseis]

Obvious question: Is it a full moon?

[gdilevi]

VAMPIRE!!!!

[doused.insanejournal.com]

I would like to never be near an acromantula ever, personally.

[Prefects]

Sounds good to me. I'd be more than happy to help out with sewing. And I have Astronomy late on Tuesdays. But, other than that, I can definitely work around things.

[chryseis]

But at the expense of living with a supernatural rogue?

[Prefects]

Thank you! How does sometime next weekend (22nd-23rd) sound?

[wilhelmeana]

Anyone who picks Acromantula over ANYTHING ELSE is not someone with all their wits about them. So, a Coppertale, PROBABLY.

Would you rather wear an AWE-INSPIRING costume that's tricky to wear, or a COMFORTABLE costume that'll be easy to dance in?

[duelled]

Is my comfortable costume still cute?

[knightly]

I'm always terrible with these. But I think the acromantula can be subdued, can't it? There's nothing you can do to stop a poltergeist.

[Prefects]
That's a great idea, Cricket. Next week works for me so long as it doesn't overlap with LARP, although that Sunday is the Ebonhide v. Coppertale game, and I don't know if you want to compete for attention with that?

Hmmm. Maybe overlapping LARP wouldn't be the worst option. All of us in that club already know how to make costumes.

[chryseis]

Agreed! Just cast some shield charms and wait it out.

[Prefects]

If the rest of LARP club would be interested, I would love to have their insight! Maybe you can write a storyline that includes... crafting?? I don't know.

[paytee.insanejournal.com]

Poltergeist, easy.

[chryseis]

Really? I would have pegged you for the type of guy that takes the quick route.

Ward

[caritasmitis.insanejournal.com]

I'd like to, but no-one has asked me.

Ward

[chryseis]

You should ask someone! Do you need me to provide a list of Gooseberry's most eligible bachelors?

[alapai.insanejournal.com]

Probably a poltergeist.

[chryseis]

They're so loud, though :(

[meerfar.insanejournal.com]

Poltergeist cause I think I could annoy it more!

[Prefect]
Interesting. I am still pondering this costume idea.

[chryseis]

Good point! Maybe you could out poltergeist the poltergeist.

[Prefect]

Seems like a lot the prefects are milling over a group costume as a whole, if you're interested.

[casperkim]

Acromantula. A short-term challenge is better than a long-term annoyance.

[Prefects]

Fucking crafts.

Like I said, I'll be there if you need me to be, but I'm not crafting or costuming or whatever.

[chryseis]

Agreed!

[Prefects]

I always appreciate the help, but you really don't have to come if you don't want to, Casper.

[unregrettable]

I'd take the Acromantula.

Would you rather always be late, or always be unprepared?

[chryseis]

Ooooh, that's a tough one. I'm gonna go with always late because eventually, people will just write it off as a silly personality quirk, but if you're always unprepared --- why bother showing up at all?

[orangepip]

I lived with a poltergeist for four years at Hogwarts!

[chryseis]

Really?! What was that like?

[noblewon]

Well, that's easy, because the poltergeist won't kill you. Thirty minutes is plenty of time to be eaten by an acromantula.

[Prefects]

That sounds like a great idea! I know I'm going to need the help.
