A Twisted Halloween: Terror is Trending

Chapter 6: To a Fantastic Halloween Night

Later in the night, the Halloween Party is about to begin.

Crowley checks the microphone, "Mic test, mic test, one, two... Ahem!" Then announces, "I bid a warm welcome to all our guests from Sage Island and beyond. Allow me to thank you for joining us here at Night Raven college on this hair-raising Halloween night! The Halloween management committee has a few words to share with you before we get this party underway. Vil Schoenheit, junior and committee chair, you have the floor."

Vil speaks up, "Sir."

The rest of the committee watch as Vil walks to Crowley.

Kalim smiles, "Check out how regal Vil looks! He's so cool!"

"Heh. He's put even more work into his makeup than usual. Now hush, the speech is starting," Azul says.

Vil takes the microphone and announces, "Good evening to all of our visitors, and welcome to Night Raven College. As I'm sure many of you are aware, Halloween is a very special event at our school. This year is no exception, of course. This year's Halloween has been simply incredible. I hope every dorm on campus has given you an experience that was beautiful, scary, and fun. It goes without saying that under my leadership, Pomefiore delivered the finest in all categories of course."

Soon, everyone jeers, "BOO!" mainly from the students not in the Pomefiore dorm.

Briar and the others from Ramshackle are dumbfounded.

"Looks like Vil is trying to give his own dorm some praise," Jasper says.

"And it looks like the other students don't appreciate that," Sereia says, worried.

"This could get ugly," Briar says.

And she's right.

Leona frowns, "You're delusional if you think Savanaclaw wasn't the best."

Sebek is just as angry, "The committee chair has no place showing such obvious bias! Clearly Malleus and Diasomnia did the best job of all by FAR."

Crowley calls out, "Now, see here! Quiet in the audience!"

Then Vil says, "We've made it to Halloween in much funner form than we might have otherwise, thanks to one special group. I want to thank everyone who supports Night Raven College. I expect us to have a blast tonight - that goes for all humans, beastmen, merfolk, fae, and even ghosts present. Does everyone have their glasses ready? Then allow me to lead a toast - to a fantastic Halloween night!"

He raises the glass and cheers, "Happy Halloween!"

Everyone cheers, "Happy Halloween!"

And everyone purpose a toast to have a great Halloween. After that, everyone soon begins to grab some of the Halloween food from the feast. Everyone is excited, but Grim is the most excited.

Grim happily says, "Myaaah! Look at all this fancy grub! I've never seen half of this stuff! I call dibs on EVERYTHING!"

"Don't you have any restraints?" Jasper questions.

"Yeah. Save some for the rest of us," Tanzanite says.

Ace also says, "Hey, guests get first dibs!"

Then Deuce says, "Don't worry. There's plenty of food to go around. Not even Grim could eat it all. Just relax and enjoy the meal."

"He's right. There is plenty of food, and we'll be here late at night so it will be best for us to enjoy ourselves and have fun," Briar says.

"I suppose, but I can't wait to chow down. There's even some cupcakes, cakes, and maybe even tuna," Grim happily says.
