Dorm One - Felicity "Fluffy" Shepherd
Fluffy giggled at Herschel's relentless licking assault (Fluffy called them Hershey's kisses) and gave the happy hellhound a big hug around the scruff. "Who's ready for an adventure? Who's ready for an adventure?!" Giving him lots of neck scritches and kisses on the forehead, Fluffy got up and retrieved the floofy cotton collar and leash and attached it to Herschel. "Hmm, need a costume for you too though... hmmm... Oh!"
Reaching into her backpack, Fluffy put on a conveniently placed and conveniently sized bunny headband on Herschel's head. "Perfect! Hershey bunny!" Smiling at her handiwork, Fluffy turned to introduce Herschel to Yoko... only to find her huddled up in Perry's arms. "Aww... it's okay, Hershey is a big friendly! Aren't you, Hershey~"
Fluffy then proceeded to flop about Herschel's ears for funsies.

Dante – Langley Manor – Squad 2
Once the group arrived to the Langley Manor, Dante looked impressed.
Not bad... , the King said, impressed.
It wasn't as big as the Precossini Mansion was, but it still looked pretty big compared to your typical middle-class house.
Dante entered the manor...
...just to be weirded out at it.
How...bizarre... , he commented, looking around it.
Wait a minute...
He forgot something!
Oh, Iris, this was my first attempt at making a mask. , he said, giving her a white mask with eye decorations of varying colors.
It might not be the greatest mask ever created, but I hope you'll like anyway...
Got it! , he replied to Mahvash with a thumbs-up.
You might know everything I'm going to do...but that's not going to help you, since I KNOW EVERYTHING YOU'RE GOING TO DO! STRANGE, ISN'T IT?

Dorm One
Perry's soothing tone evidently did its job. Soon enough, the little fox quietened, though still peeking out at the hellhound as if afraid it would lunge at her if she so much as blinked. Fluffy's further encouragement seemed to give the kitsune pause, however—and she soon reluctantly began to wriggle out of Perry's grasp, hopping down to the floor and staring at Herschel warily.
After a moment, one of her tails seemed to stiffen like a rod—before her form seemed to swell and morph drastically. Her tails fused and shrunk down, and her body became around three times as bulky as it was before. Soon enough a replica hellhound was standing before them—not a perfect replica by any means; it was still smaller in size and less demonic in appearance—but it was a solid enough attempt at least.
Yoko lumbered over to Herschel now, looking only a little bit more confident now she could match his state, and proceeded to sniff at him. Before tentatively licking his cheek and backpedaling a few paces. She didn't feel that confident. But she had yōkai friends who were dogs, and they seemed to be pleasant enough. So she knew there was a chance, at least. She just wished her brain would stop screaming at her to run away.

Where am I? What's going on?
Rebecca - Hallway -> Dorm -> Hallway
As the other trick or treaters left to get things ready, (or in one case literally painted their costume on where they stood), Rebecca decided it was time for her to do the same.
"Hold on, I'll be back soon."
Returning to her dorm, Rebecca hurried to change into her costume. The costume she had prepared was a rather clever use of resources, if she did say so herself. By taking some scissors to her old clothes, she had fashioned herself a rather decent looking do-it-yourself loincloth and chest-wrap. A thick layer of dreck applied to the bottoms of her feet allowed her to go barefoot without worry about hurting them. Combined with her dirty, unkempt hair and grime-coated skin, she looked impressively like a feral jungle girl.
Rushing to get back on time, she arrived back to the hallway gathering around the same time as Finn.
Iris - Langley Manor
Iris's instinctive reaction was to forbid her classmates from redecorating her house, but wow she had forgotten how much this place hurt her eyes. They couldn't redecorate this mess soon enough. Anyway, ground rules.
"U-um. J-just don't damage or deface anything that's already here. We'll need to put it back before we leave. Otherwise, go nuts. Oh! And d-don't touch the altar. It can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. The 2018 model, I swear. I told him to wait for the Black Friday sale, but does he ever listen? Of course not."

Up on Melancholy hill.
Nice digs...erm...Finn, was it? I like the Grim Reaper look, very simple yet very effective. Zach offered a smile and a thumbs up after finishing his little piece, writing it in the middle of the fancy little placard he wrote himself. I like it.
Rebecca came by around the same time and he couldn't help but admire how well she pulled off the feral wild child look. He also gave her a thumbs up and wrote out in his placard, 10/10! Very nice, very effective, you pull it off great!
Leaning on his cane, he looked around. Just need to wait for our last three, right? He wrote to no one in particular, his shoulders shaking in a silent chuckle. I'm excited, I haven't been trick or treating since i was 8!
Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
Van
Van looked at Ash with a rather coy look on his face, and decided to do some explaining - he figured she deserved it since she put up this much of a good fight. He too had had the most stirring brawl he'd had in...well, a decade at least. The last time he had this much fun was in that fun time down in Italy.
"Would you believe...that I still had Levels 4 through 0? I can only go into Level 2 Restraint and beyond after nightfall though."
In other words, as awesome as this was, it could've been just as easily a lot more awesome pending on the time of day.
He didn't even seem to mind the hold she had him in.
As he got up with her, he gestured around the room and the large amount of splattered blood began flowing back into his ruptured hand, seeming to outright disappear back into him seamlessly.
She did seem pretty happy about the caliber of fight she got out of him and he was happy for that.
"So, who else is on "Squad 3"? I'm admittedly kind of new to this school."

SQUAD 2 (Sally) - LANGLEY MANOR
"Don't worry, Iris. We will take care of the house. I am also sorry I did not bring a gift, I forgot. I know that is not an excuse but, I am sorry." Sally says feeling bad but, hoped Iris understood.
"Who wants to help decorate the outside of the house with me?" She asks the others.
SQUAD 3 (Finn) - HALLWAY
"Thanks man and yeah it is Finn. You look good too, Zach. Also, you look good as well Rebecca. This should be a good night!" Finn does the happy little fist pump. To him, day one is going great.

Breath of the Sun
Dorms - I Want You
Herschel noted the fox yipping at him, and sniffed at it inquisitively. It did indeed smell like fox, but then it became another hellhound. Herschel was confused a moment, but he remembered Papanote and Demonmamanote - not to be confused with Fluffmama - could also change shape, and assumed it was just some kind of devil fox. So he stepped forward and reciprocated the facelick with one of his own, before nuzzling Fluffy to thank her for the 'costume' she'd given him.
At that moment, Mikael and Ellie's door opened, and a grumbling voice could be heard from inside.
"You know, if I knew this was the reason you wanted to learn shapeshifting with me, I might have reconsidered." A female voice, sounding kind of like Mikael, groused.
"Aw c'mon, baby. You look great!" Ellie replied.
They stepped out. Both were in demon form, and Mikael was in his female mode, but somehow their colors had changed. Mikael was still red-skinned, but Ellie had turned red with her, all the way from the horn down. Mikael(a)'s hair was longer, and vibrant green, while Ellie's was blue.
Both wore black, lacy, spiky outfits
, replete with heels and miniskirts. Ellie's outfit had much higher socks, coming up to her thighs, and fabric crisscrossing her stomach, while Mikael's left her midriff and most of her legs exposed. Ellie's wings were also black, now, as opposed to her usual dark blue, once again matching Mikael's.
"Ta-Da!" Ellie announced, striking a pose. "Scanty and Kneesocks! So, what do you guys think? I was gonna dress up Herschel as Fastener, but he's a little too big."
"Speaking of Herschel, did one of you clone him?" Mikael asked, eyeing the smaller hellhound warily, "Or... no wait, you're the fox-girl, right? You're pretty good at shapeshifting."

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?
Alex, Squad Herschel
Alex was glad to see her fluffy friend and the demon doggo getting along swimmingly. Additionally, though Fluffy was dressed as a kitsune, Yoko seemed to be the real deal. This place really does attract all kinds.
Then they saw Mikael and Ellie's costume.
"Oh, nice!" Alex said. "You two make a pretty good duo - almost as good as me and me, in fact!"
Alex chuckled and spun two silly looking Ice Climber-y mallets around.

Sam walked out of his room. His outfit was relatively simple, compared to others. [[After all, he was just one detective. www.la-razon.com/suplementos/tendencias/Humphrey-Bogart-Marlowe-Foto-Pais_LRZIMA20140307_0126_11.jpg]]
While he hid several things in his coat, and made sure he won't overheat with it, he walked at the others.
"The Saint Academy dorms" He said, with a low, raspy voice "While from the outside one could see the shining light carrying the hopes of the earth, its own shadows hide uncertainty, and the fears of young people" He paused.
"Man, world weary monologues are hard"
Looking at the others, he waved.
Iris' place
"I see, don't worry" Ryuu told Iris "We can clean up, it'll look nice for a while"
Picking up random spiders and a skull (which he hoped was fake), the dragon got to work.

Jack smiled....and then moved their mask up and smiled again. "It was my pleasure...although what were you planning on doing now?" They asked with a curious tilt of their head.
"I mean, my plan was to wander around campus until I found a party that I'm sure is supposed to be prohibited. But something tells me that isn't quite your scene. That or the horror movies I was gonna watch when I got back."

“Wait wait wait—you were still holding back?” Ash cut in, raising an eyebrow and shaking her head in disbelief. “Well I'll be damned. You just got like fifty more cool points. Have some gum. Peace token, y'know?” she half-smiled, tossing a fresh pack of the stuff towards him and turning towards the pile of training gear she had brought down with her.
“Man—I don't check the roster very often, but my memory's okay for a schlub I guess. I know my roomie Becca's on our team—her and prickface the demon too. Other than that I think that's it,” she shrugged, flopping down into a seating position on the miscellaneous stack and crossing her legs—looking up at him out of the corner of her eye as she chugged down what was effectively an entire bottle of water in one go.
“So uh... what's your story? 'Cause uh... so far I got the creepy-cool Prototype vibe from you and uh... well that's about it,” she stated a little breathlessly—and severely regretting her choice of drinking habits at that moment.
Dorm One
A little relieved that the hellhound had accepted her cheerfully enough (though a tad disgusted with the slobber), Yoko proceeded to shift back into her humanoid form, letting her tails splay out once more as she shook herself violently so as to rid herself of dog spit. Only to end up splattering everyone in the immediate vicinity.
Upon realising this, she grinned sheepishly—rubbing the back of her head.
“Hehe. Gomen. Shoulda stayed a fox for that... a-anyway. I'm a kyūbi, oni-san—I can be all kinds of things!” she proclaimed, rushing up to Mikael in order to give him a quick look over before once again shifting so as to perfectly mirror his form; dress and all. “Lots of yōkai can shapeshift, but the itachi are the best... they keep tricking me and that's not fair...”
With an exaggeratedly comical frown that really didn't fit Mikael's face, she morphed back to her human form and toed the ground.
“Ano... I don't really have a costume or anything yet... I might have to think of something on the way– ooh! Alex-san!” she squealed, catching sight of the (current) boy and his feminine doppelganger and rushing up to them. “You can make two of you?! That's so coool~!” she exclaimed—poking the female one on the nose and giggling.
I don't have to go as anyone from Earth. I could go as Susano'o-sama, or Yūben'na-baka, or... or maybe a Noppera-bō? she pondered, unable to suppress the growing wicked smile that formed on her face at that last thought. Hai. We could get loads of candy if I scared some people... it is Halloween...

"Oh? Your father won't be joining us this evening?" Mahvash dug through the bag, crawling into a burlap sack before diving out of a box and spewing note packing peanuts like a whale. True this was a squad bonding thing, but he did live here."Oh, of course. I just want some time to check on the inside," Mahvash said to Sally.
"Oh Ryuu," she tilted her head, giving the lad a beatific smile. Neither of her hands were quite visible. "What are you planning?" Really they had just heard the team synergy thing. Which required communication. They couldn't just silently to wonder off 3 seconds into their work. Plus it was one haunted house. Not five separate projects.

Dorm One Too Many - Felicity "Fluffy" Shepherd
With Herschel, Yoko, Perry, both Alexes, the demon couple, and herself, the room was feeling rather stuffy to Fluffy, who did not have the luxury to transform her costume's tails out of existence. Raising her hand amongst the crowd, Fluffy declared, "Bit cramped in here, so Fluffy's gonna go wait for everyone with Herschel in the parking lot! Will text the rest of the trick or treaters once I'm there! Let's go bunny hop, Hershey!"
With that, Fluffy squeezed past everyone and made her way out the front door, keeping a hold on Herschel's collar as she did so. Whether or not he followed, well, was up to the big dog himself.

I have decided that I will decorate the inside , Dante declared calmly.
I will modify the manor's color scheme to a more Halloween-like one... , he declared further.
The manor's color scheme looks disgusting. Did your father actually think that puke green and get black make a good combination??...No offense, Iris... , The King commented, sounding weirded out.
Well, my son; You shall now work your magic with manor! , he said in Large Ham way.

Well, given that Dante just started painting, Sally should start decorating. She saw some little ghost lights and decided they would look great on the wall. As she grabs the lights, she realizes she may need some help since her wings can only take her up so high.
"Hey Ryuu, do you want to help me put up lights?" Ryuu seemed like he could help.

"Not defacing anything remember?" She said to him. "We have sheets for color. And props in the bags that probably need paint."
"As for my plan," she drifted away from the lad. "I'll photograph how this place looked 'before', go full the candy bowls, and go dig up some wailing souls to hang out by the door."

Ryuu looked at the others, and just shrugged.
"I'd say placing these where they look the more... harmonic" He answered "Dunno, but make sure that it looks like it fits together"
Turning to Sally, he nodded "Lights sounds good, up" He said as he started floating, trying to be careful and not knock anything with his wind.
But another thought came to his mind.
"How much are we supposed to decorate, anyway?" He stopped to consider "Because I dunno if Iris' parents would like if we adorn their bedroom without permission"

"...I'd only deploy those higher levels if you were absolutely sure you wanted to face them, and even then, as few as possible. Those powers are horrifying, so I mostly prefer to keep to what I used there."
After all that happened with his brothers, he was not in a hurry to go full power. Not with those exemplars of what happened to those who too headily embraced their urges.
When Ash asked him what his story was, he put his hands behind his head and responded, "As I said, I'm from the Wallachian Court, my family claims descent from the original vampire, Vlad Dracul Tepes himself, or as he has come to be known, Dracula. I have two older brothers, and two younger brothers - I'll admit, my older brothers are vastly stronger than I am."
He chuckled somewhat bitterly at the thought, and then continued, "I'm also the only one in the family who refuses to make use of human Familiars...could never bring myself to subject anyone, even my mortal enemy, to such a fate lacking in dignity."
He then said, "So I decided to make a hero of myself, and came here to learn from the best. So I do hope I am not a burden, and can be of assistance."

“Cool, cool. An' just like that you're like... ten times more interesting than me,” Ash chuckled, leaning back into a full reclining position on the lumpy pile of miscellaneous junk. “All you gotta know 'bout me is that I'm a slacker who's here because I got guilt-tripped by daddy-o. An' I'm fine with it now I'm here. S'like getting in the shower except it's not relaxing when you get in as much as an excuse to #$&%ing blow everything up,” she admitted. “'Sides, I got trained. Guess I might as well use it for something while I'm here. An' I ain't going #$&%ing villain mode or whatever that s***'s about. Too #$&%ing troublesome. At least here I can trick myself into thinking I'm doing something substantial.”
Her voice was dropping in tone to one more dull, self-deprecative, and depressive the more she spoke, and so she quickly backpedaled with a slight clear of the throat. “A-anyway, I'm sure you'll do fine. You got me to use my thinker for that little play fight back there. I swear I've been here for two months now an' I ain't had much chance to show off that I can do more than blow up s***. I can blow up s*** and break your #$&%ing neck from behind while you're gawking at the explosion. Though I guess it's probably a good thing they don't know that the more I think about it...”
Jesus Christ I sound like I'm on drugs or some s***.
“...I dunno, man,” she finally said, craning her neck to look at him again. “I ramble. An' you ain't bad. Nice to actually talk to someone without them jumping down my #$&%ing throat. S*** gets tiring. 'Specially when I actually do got somethin' to say.”

Aster Constantine
Aster had settled into her new dorm, and set out to get to know some people. It was Halloween, which meant that socializing was probably going to be easier.
But first, she had a yen to work out. Not that she really needed it, of course, but it was good to get rid of some excess energy.
That was how she'd stumbled into Ash and Van. And into the completely demolished remains of what had been a room.
"...Oh. Greetings," Aster said, wide-eyed. She hurriedly curtsied and continued: "I'm not...interrupting anything, am I? Apologies. I'm new—my name is Aster Constantine. I was trying to find someplace where I could, er, work out, but..."
"How exactly does one do this?" she said, still looking around with a shell-shocked look on her face.
A small, lizard-like, metallic skill twisted itself into being from Aster's flesh, coming into existence on Aster's shoulder. It cooed for several seconds, eventually chittering in an imitation of laughter.
"This is Avajax, my great-times-many-times grandfather. If you can understand him, ignore what he just said," Aster explained with a noticeable flush on her cheeks. Evidently, Avajax had just said something risque.

She had a rough understanding of what such "forbidden party" could contain, but at the very least she could keep things from getting too rowdy should someone drink too much.

Either way,tonight should be fine. Sally was not worried about the exam since she has been studying hard for it so all she wanted was to have fun tonight.
SQUAD 3 - HALLWAY "Wow, that is pretty cool! Okay, I am going to go to my dorms to get changed. I'll be back." Finn says.
Finn went back to his dorms. He had a simple grim reaper costume but, it works. He put on the black robe with the hood up. He also put on the rubber skull mask which only covered the top half of his face. His bangs still showed but, oh well. Besides if he wanted, he could change forms and make the costume scarier. He had his belt and light clothes under the costume. He grabbed a small bag from his belongings for candy. "Alright, I look fine. I hope the others don't mind me joining in. Well, I guess I should get goin'." Afterwards, Finn went back to where he was in the hallway.
