HAPPY HALLOWEEN BITCHES 🎃
Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion...though you may have once known it as the Crimson Phoenix dorm. As you approach, you may find that the area is hardly recognizable. There are several tables set up outside hosting all sorts of activities, and at the front and center is a small, cheerfully crackling bonfire. Scattered around the outside are several fake tombstones with equally fake inscriptions painted on them and lit by soft glowing lights with various skeletons posed around the graveyard. In the front on the way to the main door is a twelve-foot skeleton dressed as a witch, and from here you can see three inflatable pumpkins on the roof. Approaching the dorm itself, you'll find that the outside has been decked out in lights and decor, and the inside is just as elaborate and extra. Terrible idea to give teenagers unlimited money and time on their hands, huh?
As you enter through the lobby, you'll find that you may be guided to enter a haunted maze. Adventurers beware...
...but for those of you who are more interested in the festivities upstairs, residents of Phoenix dorm will happily shuttle you up to the second floor in an elevator decked out with floating candles. Upon reaching this floor, you'll be greeted with the lounge. There are plenty of couches with red cushions and blankets for maximum comfort, and the entire floor is equally decorated. Various horror movies play on mute from the TV mounted against the wall, and music seems to reverberate throughout the dorm everywhere you go. Loud enough to enjoy, but not loud enough to disrupt conversation. Hanging from the ceiling there also appears to be a large pinata in the shape of the moon, a large wooden stick leaning against the wall with a bandana draped over the top...batter up!
The four bedrooms appear to be blocked off with caution tape, but the two bathrooms and the kitchen are open to everyone. And while there's a third floor...there's nothing of interest up there other than space and more decor to admire as you mingle.
The party's just getting started. Have fun and get spooky.

This shouldn't be too hard, right?
[ she's trying to do this and is just sat here holding a little carving saw. she can do this? right?
... right?
AND OH. right. she's dressed like this ]
no subject
It shouldn't be... [ glad to see she's not sexy corn. ] I can hold it if you want to try carving in it.
[ having just carved pumpkins tonight: it can be this hard, yes. ]
I think I saw something in my Halloween research that said it's best to cut the bottom to get all the gunk out, 'cause then you can put it down on top of the piece with the candle and the intact stem keeps it from rotting faster.
no subject
Oh, rather than the top? … But if you don’t get all the gunk out won’t it just— [ she mimes something splatting down onto the ground, with an appropriately unpleasant sounding ‘sploot’ noise. and a pulled face. ]
no subject
she is dressed up, with the fox features being real... thank you transformation week. ]
no subject
I think you’re supposed to draw on the pumpkin first anyway, aren’t you? Maybe I should just scribble over all the stuff I’m meant to be carving so I don’t make a mistake…

And it's your hard work. I think you get the final say in it.
no subject
[ outside, sad and alone maybe? ]

no subject
he props his head up to look at what she's doing. ]
It might help to get the guts out first and then trace the pattern on.
no subject
Yeah, that’s the standard part isn’t it? Trace so you’re not free sketching, and get all the goop out so it lasts longer.
[ …
hang on she’s going to get an Abnormally Large Spoon for this. ]
no subject
Yeah, especially when it's a slightly more complicated design than just a face. [ she may have spoon but he is also humming at that. ]
...do you also want a better knife? I trust you with a sharp object more than I trust some other people right now. [ hanako. ]

[ she is just brandishing spoon now. weapon against pumpkins. ]
But, sure. If it'll make it easier to carve the thing...
no subject
[ and he darts off! but he does come back a few minutes later with a carving knife that does have some dried pumpkin on it. ] Maybe this'll help.
no subject
[ she must s c o o p all the insides and then she can saw away, so she will start flipping the pumpkin around looking for a good spot to carve a circle for scooping purposes ]
So, get rid of all the seeds and flesh and then we can start.
no subject
he's just sitting down in his chair again, pulling his legs up so his heels rest on the edge of his seat and he's watching her go. ]
Yeah, but save the seeds if you can. They're pretty good toasted...and Lillium made a soup with the insides before.
no subject
well, she will set it to one side. ] Hung might be able to help with that.
[ she has never tries toasted pumpkin seeds, actually. ]
