2/3 - National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day! Which Paint is taking seriously. Sundae bar all morning!

1/29 - A report comes out that there is a new version of Kick in pill form; this one is a lighter high and not as addictive. You know you want to try it :)

12/22 - It starts snowing in the common rooms! Sort of. It's not cold, and it doesn't seem to have much substance beyond very small piles in corners and the like. Magic snow! It doesn't melt on you, just dissipates, so no need for umbrellas. Fires in all the hearths, and of course continued Christmas offerings in the cafeteria and cafe.

12/23 - Secret Santa gifts are exchanged at a Christmas party. Christmas music, food, games, etc.

12/24 - Santa comes to visit at night! Everyone's been told that Old Saint Nick will be in the Great Room at 7, and anyone that comes gets a (reasonable) present from him. People able to sense powers will be able clock him as a shapeshifter, but it's the thought that counts.

12/25 - Everyone's door has a full stocking hanging from it (two for shared rooms, of course), and there's a nice present under the tree for everyone. Presents galore this year, apparently!

12/26 - Christmas hangover cures. An enormous brunch, which still includes some holiday favs like eggnog and holiday shaped-and-themed foods.

10/27 - MARTIN GREY sees something out of the corner of their eye but it skitters to a hiding place before they can get it. It seems to be whispering and giggling, and no amount of effort is able to actually catch it, even with a group.

10/28 - WICKED (& roommate, if applicable) wakes up to a strange, dark wetness -- once they're able to waffle their way to the door and get out, they can see that their room was filled to the brim with fallen leaves.

10/29 - Everyone gets ready for the day as normal, only to look down and see that their clothing has become Halloween-themed (pumpkin shirt, cat leggings, etc -- not costumes!). Everything in their closet, in fact, has transformed like this. For the rest of the month no matter what they wear, where they get it from, or when it's put on, it will instantly change to Halloween clothing.

10/30 - CHARACTER 7 has gotten into a bowl of Halloween candy early, while watching TV. At one point, while not paying attention, they put their hand back in, only to find the bowl overflowing with spiders.

10/31 - TEDDY ALTMAN, BILLY KAPLAN, and CHARACTER 10 wake up with their faces painted like clowns, and their hair done to match. Nothing removes this until the stroke of midnight, when it disappears. Creeper’s Ball! Also an open invitation to the town for kids to come through the mini Halloween carnival the school is putting on. Everything outside, don’t worry about people getting in your space. A spooky (but normal-spooky, not evil-spooky) time is had by all!

11/1 - A blissful calm comes over everyone. You've survived another October! Whether this feeling is because of that or just natural relief, everyone feels pretty great today.

10/20 - While walking off-campus late at night, ACACIA COLLINS has an encounter with The Smiling Man. Pls try and get home safely >>!

10/21 - NABI buys a locket rumored to be ‘haunted’ by an angel (novelty only!!!) and sure enough, for the rest of the month absolutely nothing bad happens to them. This amulet does not disappear by the end of October. VIOLET HARMAN hears a buzzing in their room and finds a fly trying to get out through the window, which is stuck closed. Within a few moments, however, the number of flies in the room has started to steadily increase, and the door is unable to be opened as well. The swarm reaches impossible levels before disappearing suddenly, without a trace.

10/22 - A ghost is roaming the school – it appears as an old man in a suit, and if you get its attention it will either run at you before dissipating, or have its face become twisted and horrifying before it screams and dissipates.

10/23 - PRESLEY SCOTT starts to see a woman in black in the background of her pictures, getting closer and closer to her throughout October. Finally, when it can’t get closer, PRESLEY wakes to the apparition choking them in their bed. It disappears after a few moments, and does not reappear in pictures.

10/24 - ARTIE RANKIN sees a face that's not their own in every reflective surface. No one else notices a difference with them.

10/25 - At noon, everyone is compelled to stand up and sing/dance to This Is Halloween. Following RANDOM's tarot reading, a group of unmarked mercs fight the school.

10/26 - CLARITY COLLIER is woken by a scratching sound at her door, but ultimately falls back asleep instead of checking. In the morning, a hook is hanging from the door handle and there are gouges in the wood.

WHO: Trista & Grayson.
WHERE/WHEN: Trista’s room, shortly after this conversation.
WHAT: Finding out what kissing is like.

( Should she close her eyes? She should close her eyes. )

10/13 - BETH KOCI, JUSTIN PARK, DOREEN GREEN decide to play The Midnight Game. It works.

10/14 - SURPRISE! REMY LEBEAU's reading for CAL RANKIN shows up -- in the form of the school going pitch dark everywhere, including outside, and things starting to claw and scrape and bite and otherwise injure everyone!

10/15 - When the elevator doors open for RUBY FIORE, blood comings gushing out a la The Shining. It does not, however, disappear like in The Shining. Gross. At night, the doll finally comes to Emerson’s room. It stays/re-appears no matter what’s done to it. Late at night, CAL RANKIN hears the sound of something being dragged overhead in their room, from one corner to another; blood begins seeping down from that corner.

10/16 - All night the lights in the mansion are flickering, scary background music starts and stops at random, quiet wailing can be heard at times. SpOoKy!

10/17 - While playing soccer outside, the ball (HARMLESSLY bought from Grandma’s House of Antiques) suddenly turns into a severed head when it’s kicked. The face does not resemble anyone who’s ever been at the school. The spirit cannot be contacted.

10/18 - Strange sounds late at night lead AMY INALYNN, unable to sleep, in the direction of one of the quiet areas of the school -- only to turn a corner and find this woman in the hallway….clearly having some problems. A moment's hesitation then leads to this becoming your reality, so run for your life!

10/19 - REMY LEBEAU's reading for ROGUE comes true: MYSTIQUE shows up with several Brotherhood members, aiming to attack Rogue and Liam but hey, everyone's collateral damage,

10/6 - A carnival is in town! JANE ROBERTS is dared by LIN TSAI to go into the funhouse and steal the nose off what is rumored to be a possessed clown figure inside. Said student will begin having nightmares of an evil clown, which turn into things like balloons appearing in their room saying GIVE IT BACK, as well as creepy phone calls saying the same thing until they return to the carnival and place the nose back on the figure.

10/7 - While on a school-hosted trip to a local pumpkin patch, PRESLEY SCOTT & JOHNNY GITTER sneak off, only to find a creepy-looking old house, which they investigate. And are promptly caught and taken to Leatherface's basement. Luckily, ERIC GITTER & EVA HARMAN go after them and help them to escape. The school still hosts it's pumpkin-painting event that afternoon though, chaperones needed!

10/8 - VERITY CONROE, NAIYA BURNS, & VICTOR CREED wake up to pretty boxes in front of their doors, each with a card to them that says 'You have my heart <3'. Inside the boxes are, indeed, beating hearts.

10/9 - WINTER HALPIN-TERRIS wakes up to a mass amount of spiders in their bed. They disappear by the time their roommate has woken up and tries to help. Simultaneously SABRINA YOO wakes up to a mass amount of snakes in theirs -- which also disappear when their roommate is awoken.

10/10 - DANNY COX has a dream in which they are chased by a serial killer with knives for fingers (the face remains obscured though, HOW ODD!), and when they wake up they do indeed have cuts down their back from this.

10/11 - CHARACTER P starts to hear whispers all day, beginning with barely audible ones and graduating to clearly heard shouts for help. No telepath can trace them though, and they disappear at midnight without being solved.

10/12 - CHARACTER Q is brushing their teeth when one falls out suddenly. Another feels loose, and when they poke at it, it falls out as well. One by one, all of their teeth begin to fall or be pulled out. It must be a waking nightmare though, because when someone else comes in after hearing them, everything is fine!

10/1 - Halloween and fall decorations for the school begin to go up. Several specific non-Xavier ghosts are now on the grounds. No mutation can quell them. They include: A Lady In White, several Black Dogs, an old man in a wheelchair with a completely bandaged face, and a large man in farmer’s garb with a pitchfork. Sometimes they feel benign, sometimes they feel full-on evil. They disappear and reappear throughout the month.

10/2 - The scarecrow is back! With Jacko riding triumphant on his shoulder. A Creepy Doll(™) starts appearing in a different person’s room each night. Sometimes with a knife that sits by it. It does NOT enter Emerson’s room.

10/3 - While in class, MATT ROBERTS looks up to see CHARACTER B's head slowly turn a 180 to look at them and give a distorted smile. It then turns the rest of the way to return to looking frontward. No one seems to know what MATT is talking about, including CHARACTER B.

10/4 - A group of characters (feel free to be involved, spots are unlimited!) end up watching a strange show on TV that they've never seen before; it's a puppet show, and decidedly unsettling, but it's hard to stop watching it anyway. Passers-by note later that the group were simply watching static on the television screen.

10/5 - REMY LEBEAU stops by the recently-reopened Grandma's House Antiques and picks up a set of silly looking tarot cards (novelty only!). For the rest of the month, anyone's fortunes they attempt to tell using this receives only bad news -- which then comes true.
