Event Committee will be holding a joint event in the atrium tomorrow evening to formally kick off the Halloween season with an unveiling of the Crafting Club's secret project as well as continuing the beloved tradition of pumpkin carving. This year, the pumpkin carving competition will be shifting to a group event, with teams divided by house and year. Students are encouraged to plan ahead and the winning entry will be displayed in the atrium in a place of honor throughout the rest of the month.

And speaking of the dance, a quick thank you to everyone who participated in the recent date auction. We managed to exceed expectations and I hope everyone enjoys what we have planned for you this year. VIP package arrangements have largely been finalized but [...] feel free to forward any ~~ridiculous demands~~ requests and they'll be taken under advisement.

[Warded to Event Committee]

Vee, can you organize refreshments for tomorrow's event? I seem to recall Mr. Hightower served cider and some sort of pumpkin muffins last year if you just want to repeat that. Everyone else, please be prepared to spend time decorating the atrium after classes tomorrow.

Tonight's meeting kicks off the official start to Halloween Dance planning season. Following Mina's example from last year, I've posted a suggestion box outside the meeting room for anyone who would feel more comfortable expressing themselves anonymously. While its use is intended for Event Committee members only, I fully expect to read through multiple suggestions about aliens.

[...] It's entirely possible that I'm abusing my party planning powers to force all of you into an extra bonding activity this month. We've got a couple brilliant artists in our group and hopefully the rest of us are at least skilled at shoveling out pumpkin guts. I'm looking forward to spending the evening with all of you, but it would go more smoothly if we had a game plan in place. Perhaps an homage to Kurt's impressive muddy showdown last year? (I'm kidding, mostly.)

Apologies for springing this on all of you after an unexpected night of very poor sleep.

You know, using a gourd to depict an epic battle, Greek urn-style, isn't a bad idea.

Are we sure that won't end with a collapsed pumpkin and last place?

It'd be more scraping than carving, I guess. Like, details in a fancy door, maybe? As long as you're careful you can avoid catastrophic pumpkin collapse!

Is it too much to draw up blueprints and make a practice pumpkin?

Well there's technically nothing in the rules against practicing.

All I ever ask is that we stay just barely on this side of the law.

If we want to approach this like professionals, that's pretty much the only way.

If you insist on approaching this like professionals, I guess I could be convinced.

I know how much you hate such tedious tasks and I appreciate your sacrifice.

I bet I could make a chart for this.

I have to admit, it'd be really satisfying to beat Coppertale at competition for once because we planned ahead...

Destroy Coppertale with planning and preparation, you say?

It worked for the Christmas tree. Let’s make our thing meticulous holiday decorating

It does seem like a fitting way to avenge our smaller fish. And certainly not the worst thing to be known for.

It's what we do best!! Our biggest rival in plan 'n' prep will be Ebonhide, but we're more artistic. Unless they find a way to charm their pumpkin to play instruments, we're a shoo-in for the winner.

... I say very modestly and with a gentle tone, as is the Ribbonfin way.

That does sound rather grand. Think we can convince Kurt to pose?

Might have to bribe him! Got any incentives?

Something something horses.

Good start! Good start! Maybe if we depict him on horseback on the pumpkin...

[...] Are we sure that it won't get us in trouble? Isn't it kind of like [...] glorifying violence?

Half the books in the library and movies in the DVD collection glorify violence at least twice as much.

I suppose that's true, and the detention was a good bonding activity...

When you depict violence on pumpkins, that automatically makes it two times more light-hearted.

Really?

Oh, yeah, for sure. Pretty sure the only thing more whimsical would be to use a pineapple!
