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.

[Warded to Big Fish]

[...] 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.

No, I know. And you're right. It's much worse.
I know he has a [...] checkered history, but this would be some kind of revenge.

Marshmallows are a little spooky, when you think about them.

What kind of negotiation? That's the only costume I have.

There's sure to be some theories when the Anon post appears again. Good luck with that and just [...] keeping everyone safe until this is resolved.

I'm thinking very hard and I'm not sure I see it. Is it the fear of cavities or the ease of painting little faces on them and calling them ghosts?

It's a wonder your mother ever lets you out of the house. What color are we talking about? I suppose I can't fully fault a superhero in a classic black and white suit.

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

Thanks. It’ll blow over. I’m sure.

The ghost thing, definitely. Plus I’m not sure they’re actual food and we keep eating them.

She wouldn’t, if she had the chance. It’s a green power ranger. Still fine?

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

Hopefully our ghostly neighbors won't hold that against us. It's so hard to know what's considered insensitive now.

Oh, dear. Would you look at that. It's quite explicitly stated in paragraph (2) of subsection (g) that I can't be seen in public with the Green Power Ranger no matter how fond I may be of the person wearing the suit. Unfortunate, but these things are quite inflexible. Are you certain that's the only costume you possess?

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

Well. At least probably they can't read wards.

I can't break subsection g. I guess I can try to put something else together. Don't get your hopes too high. What do you think you'll go as?

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

I want to read the ghosts thoughts on my journal about as much as I want to read the freshmen's.

Thank you for understanding that my hands are tied in this matter and I'll try to temper my expectations. (Please note that all shades of Power Ranger outside of black are strictly forbidden.)

I've suggested a classic Hollywood monster movies theme to Mr. Hightower, so I've been considering having some fun with that and combining both classic Hollywood and monsters. How does Holly Golightly as a vampire sound to you?

Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

I want to read the freshmen journals.

That sounds perfect. And I'm glad I'm throwing away the green ranger suit.
Should I [...] I guess I should probably match somehow.
What famous movie man would be the best monster?

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

Wagers on how many are written in blood?

I'm glad I'll be able to be seen in public with you after all.
I wasn't actually going to force you I would like that [...] Well, it would be aesthetically pleasing for any photos.
I'm not sure about the best monster, but James Bond is always impeccably dressed and the first man to come to mind for me. Care to take Holly on a secret mission?

Re: Ferdie/Ursula

[ferdie]

All of them.
I assume just all of them.

A monster mission. I could swing a tuxedo and some vampire teeth. But that’s where the resemblance stops. So sorry for when everyone guesses I’m a waiter or something instead .

Ferdie/Ursula

[cecaelian]

I'm sure we can manage to find you a small prop gun and I thought you looked quite handsome dashing at prom so if anyone calls you a waiter then Holly may just have to bite some necks. Or offer some sharp, school-sanctioned words. Whichever you're more comfortable with Mr. Head Monster.
