Kura Morioka is sitting in a chair in this corner, and you aren't sure if she's asleep or not. Surrounding her are different props typical of Halloween, such as fake spiders, insects, snakes, blood, and silly string. A piece of parchment hangs on the wall:
So ye fancy yerself t'be a good scarer? Why not a test, that seems much fairer. There be six points at stake here in this game Win, and they be your house's to claim.
What must ye do to be the point possessor? It's simple - just scare the meditation professor. If ye can get a shriek, a jump, or even a twitch The points then be yours, with but naught a hitch.
So can ye do it? Can ye give her a fright? Give it a go - Kura's got all night.
Points Won
Averill - Ekaterina x2 combo
[Game time! You can repeat this as often as you want. Roll ten 10-sided dice in your post - you scare Kura if you get the following: - a total of 10, 100, 69, 42, or 99 - a multiple of 10 made up of the same number (so 10 twos, 10 sixes, etc) - three of any number in a row - any number that's a perfect square root (16, 25, 36, etc) - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 in that order
You don't have to roll dice every single post - feel free to RP here as well!]
Ariadne approached the game with a smile on her face, humming a song underneath her breath and swinging her prop to-and-fro. Even when she wasn't smiling, she was smiling -- it was great! Button eyes glittering underneath the various lights, Ari quickly skimmed over the parchment before skipping over to her favorite teacher.
"Hi, Miss Bellis!! You look fabulous as ever," Ari complimented, shooting her teacher a blinding smile as she took a can of silly spray off the table.
Without any further ado, Ari aimed the can and sprayed silly string right in Riona's face.
edit: The lack of reaction had Ari giggling. She set the can down, stepping back to admire her handywork. Ari was highly considering just staying there all night and spraying the teacher with silly string.
"To be honest I didn't expect anything from that, I just wanted to see your expression. Hehehe!" ▿▴▿▴▿▴▿▴▿▴ Mage ♤ ┆ ♠Wind
Riona stared at Ariadne through hooded eyes before removing her cigarette and blowing a smoke ring in her face. "The makeup's a bit much." With that, Riona replaced her cigarette.
Ari smiled, not even flinching from the smoke that hit her face. She waved it away absentmindedly, giggling a little."That's the point, of course! The more I overdo it the more interesting the rumors get, you know?"
With that, Ari sprayed more silly string in Riona's face. Man, this was entertaining. ▿▴▿▴▿▴▿▴▿▴ Mage ♤ ┆ ♠Wind
Riona blew another smoke ring, though not at Ari's face this time. "...heard you brought a body to school," she mumbled. "That just another interestin' rumor?"
The fact that they were actually managing to have a conversation only managed to amuse Ari even more. She was getting kind of encouraged to just stick around and spray silly string in Riona's face. Maybe if she did it enough the teacher would flinch.
Ari grinned at the mentioning of such a rumor. "I didn't expect you to be the type to be interested in rumors, Miss Bellis!" Ari shook the can a couple of times, spraying some more silly string at the teacher. It was really beginning to pile up. The teacher's blank face underneath it only made the effect more hilarious.
Ari giggled, wishing she could take a picture. She did the next best thing, fishing out her trusty pocket mirror and flipping it open. Ari held it up to the teacher. "I think I'm doing pretty good work of you, Miss Bellis! This is a great work in my opinion. As for your question..." A sly smile crawled it's way onto Ari's face.
"Maybe if you gave me some channeling secrets of yours?"
Riona removed the cigarette again, and this time it seemed to have a glow about it. She waved it, and the sticky string slowly removed itself from her face. She directed it with the cigarette, into a trash bin, before replacing it. "You'll have to do better'n that," she murmured, running a hand through her hair to check for any other strands. "Damn, I'm gonna have to shower tonight..."
The curtains to the tent twitched, and there was some sort of creaky noise. A bandaged hand poked through, followed by a bandaged arm, followed by a painted skull face that, when grinning, had blood on its teeth. Averill lurched through the door, hoping his entrance would be stunning enough to make the professor get goosebumps. He wasn't very good at being scary, though.
Ari dragged out an 'ooh' sound, clapping at the way Riona handled the silly string. "I'm not really trying, if you could tell." Ari said with a giggle. She opened her mouth to comment on how low Riona's blood pressure must be, still shaking the can in her hand, when a strange creaky sound cut off her thoughts.
She watched curiously at the show, face inquisitive as a student appeared through the door. There was a moment of silence before Ari burst out into cooing. "D'aaaaaw!"While facing Averill, Ari sprayed more string into Riona's face.
Still hilarious.
After having successfully covered the teacher's face, Ari took a moment to clap."That's Averill under there, isn't it? How cute!"
Without missing a beat, Vivian jumped up from behind Averill, having streaked her face in fake blood and baring her fake fangs. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!" It was, most likely, not terrifying at all. Oh well, she tried.

Riona didn't even flinch; it was hard for anyone to be sneaky anyway, when they had such heavy feet. Vivian wasn't a surprise either. Instead, she blew smoke out her nostrils. "Better luck next time," she murmured.

Pharoh Averill Hammershod (the mummy)
"Cute...!?" Averill had thought their entrance was quite good! But apparently the teacher was not amused, and Ari just thought he was being adorable. His face fell (but you could hardly tell, with all the makeup on it). "Awwh. Not afraid of mummies or vampires?" He asked, not really expecting an answer. It was clear she wasn't. "Maybe you're afraid of ancient curses!" He lifted the crown from his head, and showed it off, turning it in the light. It did twinkle rather ominously. "This gold was buried with me, in my eternal tomb. Those who touched it would forever be cursed!" He cackled, putting a spooky prophesy tone of voice on. "Yes! Cursed forever! Cursed with ...baldness..?" Averill was not great at telling spooky stories. He kinda ran out of ideas less than halfway through.
((Wait! I SHOULD roll! Maybe she IS afraid of baldness!))

Hey, Jen, did you mean to set it up to be almost impossible? All the possible outcomes for 10 10 sided dice rolls is 10^10. Which is like, 10 billion possible combinations. And all 10's or all 1's are two out of that. We have a 2 in 10,000,000 chance of scaring the teacher. Two in ten billion. Like, I know she's meant to be unflappable, but isn't there meant to be more of a chance than that?
"Aww, little Vivian too."Ari murmured, placing a hand on her heavily caked face. The more she grinned the more the ominous smile on her face stretched out. That was the power of makeup!
As Averill told his story she took a moment to shake the can a bit more and spray a long line of silly string in Riona's face. Ari took the time to move the can around, draping the string across Riona's nose and forehead. She was just kind of waiting to see how long it took before the teacher snapped -- luckily after Ari had finished the can off. It was starting to get a little empty.
Ari half listened in on Averill's 'spooky' story, giggling a bit more. "But," Ari began, a sly smile on her face. "Doesn't that mean you'll go bald, seeing as you've been wearing it?"
Averill shook his head. "Its my crown, and shall forever stay as mine!" He picked it up and placed it back on his head. "It is imbued with my jealousy for luscious hair.... as you can see, mine was light and fluffy, and not at all like an Egyptian pharaohs should be... although to be fair they did wear wigs...But the wigs weren't that well made, so they were itchy, and sometimes got infested with desert bugs!" He ended the story with a grossed out look, and then he realized his story was probably too factual to have scared anyone. Being spooky was hard.
