Goblin' It Up Errand

Interacting With @Hanako Tone

“Papa MacaroOoni?” She said, “that’s an interesting name, I’ve never heard anything like it. Is it ok if I call you Mac?” She asked being completely oblivious to their intentions.

They then began to go on about giving her candy. Adlai cocked a brow, “Um...no thank you, but the offer was very nice. I’ll be your partner even without the extra candy, though I can’t say the same for some of the other kids here.” She then held out a piece of candy to Papa MacaroOoni. “Here, you haven’t had any yet, right?”

Adlai awkwardly smiled as Mac asked for her name is quite an odd way. Perhaps they had been home schooled and never had much social interaction before, she thought. “I’m Adlai, Adlai Rod.” She held out her hand to Mac, silently hoping they knew what a hand shake was.

She had met quite a lot of people, but no one as peculiar as Papa MacaroOoni. She didn’t mind it though, in its own strange way it was exiting to meet someone who was so...different. Perhaps that would give her a new outlook on the world around her and teach her a few new things.

Hana's Outfit

[font=PT Sans]When she looked puzzled by his made-up name, he felt his heart skip a beat- and not in a good way. Before he could pull out from bullcrappery about it being a family tradition to be named after famous pizza toppings- she seemed to...believe him? Behind the mask, Hana gave her an odd look, slightly dazed at the fact that she actually seemed to buy it. It was only when she suggested a nickname, did he come back to his senses. “ I..yES! absolutely. Mac is a nice name. Very nice name. “ his paper bag mimicked his excited nodding, failing to conceal his relief that he would not be called Papa MacaooOni in front of anyone. Nor does he have to utter that cursed word again.

While he was already plenty confused as to why his obvious lie was brought, his confusion only further deepened when she rejected his bribery? Was she joking? She didn’t look like she was. It was a great shame his costume had hidden any expression he could’ve had- or else the girl would have seen just how taken aback he was.

“ You….will ...spend time with me? But we don’t even know each other? I just knew your existence a minute ago? “ He couldn’t help but ask, still shocked over his rejection. He learned quite a bit from Dee, for sure. About how people didn’t always expect you to give them things in return? The concept still felt so foreign to the boy that he couldn’t help but be curious about the talking yellow minion marshmallow girl. He had only planned for this conversation to end the minute she accepted his bribery yet- he never thought that someone could reject him? Too immersed in his own thoughts, he accidentally shook Adlai’s outstretched hand, giving it a friendly shake out of habit.

Money, he could understand. He tried to do so with another student a year ago and that did not end well at all. But candy? What child would give up candy to hang out with him?

Her handing out an extra candy for him was the last straw. Tired of the questions swirling around his head, he showed a time-out gesture, choosing to ignore the candy she handed out to him“ A...wait wait wait- Time out-. Let me get this straight...do you….not want something from me? I’m not the best person to hang with though? Do you not want some sort of reward? I’ve been told I’m a pain in the neck so why not you just- get compensated for dealing with me? “ [/font]

Again, Adlai looked at the boy with confusion written all over her face.
"Why would I want anything from you? All you asked for was to be trick or treating partners. It's not something that requires payment, at least not in my book." The gears in her mind then began to turn, which was indeed dangerous.

What they've never had a real friend before and think bribery is the only way to make social connection?-She thought, only to brush the horrible notion off of her shoulders before speaking once again. "Your company is a reward in its self, so why I want anything else? Now come on, I hear the sweets astronomy is handing are great!" She said through her now green stained lips before skipping away down the corridor to the stairwell of the astronomy tower.

Adlai was indeed a hopeless child. This was thanks to the careful sheltering nature of her mother and father, without Adlai may have not been able to develop her outrageous and carefree personality. Strangely enough some (As in her Great Aunt, Margret Viktoria) may view it as an advantage against the many unseen evils that dwell round her.

To say Xailah liked Muggle Studdies, was an understatement. Xailah loved muggle studies. Well, the muggle part of the class at least. She honestly cared little for the people discussed in lessons, but she found the No-Maj community to be incredibly fascinating nonetheless. The young pureblood had a love for muggle objects, especially those of the mechanical variety. Unfortunately she would not receiving any cool items, but she would be receiving candy. And not just any candy. Muggle candy. No tricks, hexes, or moving sweets. Just honest candy, in the form it was meant to be served in. Candy was a perfectly acceptable substitute for the lack of gadgets available for the taking.

Xailah donned her attire from the Fall ball. She had contemplated abandoning the fit, in the spirit of the movie that would be playing later, in the ballroom. She had considered it- going so far as to pick a theme for a possible new costume- which had she made the decision to abandon- would have been movie monsters. She had done a little research on a few, the night before. The Bride of Frankenstein had been a potential pick. She didn't dig too much into the characters story. She had mostly just been searching for a monster that looked cool. And The Bride was very cool. She thought so anyways. Alas, in the end, she did not rid herself of her accursed fall gown. So now she stood outside of Muggle Studdies, wrapped, and prettied up, like an inky black feline. Schrödinger sat quietly on the hem of the girls dress- which was dragging on the floor. It was his birthday, and he had been dressed up like a little pumpkin. Alright, a big pumpkin. There was nothing little about Schrödinger.

The Gryffindor had never gone trick-or-treating- and if it wasn't Schrödinger's birthday she probably would have never gotten to experience it. She was a horribly sheltered child, and was rather hesitant about taking food from strangers, or strange places. But this 'trick-or-treating' thing was proving to be a rather fun way of obtaining candy. It was much easier than stealing, or purchasing sugary delights. Why wasn't this 'trick-or-treating' a year-round thing? How come children had to wait a full ten months, to obtain bagfuls of free candy? Or was it only a once a year thing for magical children? Was that the case? Xailah creased her brow, as she stuffed a handful of sweets into the velvety satchel, that hung from her side. Well that wasn't very fair. Shrouded with mild jealousy, Xailah didn't even think about grabbing more candy. She simply took her share, and then started off towards the next location- with Schrödinger being dragged behind, on the skirt of her gown.

[font=PT Sans]What the hell? Why does she act so high and righteous? If this were last year, he would’ve done something- anything- to dim that stupid smile on her face. Standing too near to someone who never felt half of the pain he did made him scowl, skillfully hidden by his full face mask. Wait- no..he was over that. Getting annoyed at something that confused him was also going to make his goal this year harder to achieve. It still baffled him how easily she accepted him without question and denied bribery to have her as his company.

Did people like this really exist? If so, he wished to be allergic to them instead of cats. They looked far less common than those four-legged rascals. At least as far as he’d seen. He never accepted her candy, nor gave her any truth and authenticity. He wasn’t guilty of that. Not one bit. He wished he would considering how he’s trying that whole being a ‘decent’ person goal this year, but he couldn’t feel it. The only thing he could feel was his eyebrows raising in confusion behind his full face mask as he watched the girl suggest the astronomy for more candy.

Of course! His puzzlement of the existence of this talking yellow marshmallow had almost made him forget his real reason for being here. Percival Rainwood. Quickly grabbing a random candy popcorn ball, he speed-walked to follow the yellow talking marshmallow without much of a sound, trying his best not to prove just how rewarding his company is.

Hey, at least he found someone to blend in with. Even if they were so confusing that Hanako’s eyebrows might as well just fly off his face to migrate somewhere nicer.

Ileen had just grabbed a mini vanilla cupcake when someone approached her. The young girl turned around in surprise and looked confusedly at a bedsheet with heart-shaped sunglasses. Although she could not see who was hiding behind this very creative costume, she recognized the voice and a wry grin appeared on her lips. “Well, well. Thank you, so is yours, fellow ghost Percival.” She had to admit that she was surprised to see the boy here, just as she had been when she had met him at the pet errand.
Ileen frowned a little worried and peered briefly over his shoulder. Was that a coincidence or did she often find him alone recently? Where were his friends? They were no friends but since the fight club something had changed – at least for her. They had some sort of connection due to the events they’ve been through together and she respected him. He was a little impulsive and stubborn maybe, but he probably could be saved since he was not such an idiot as mostly everyone else in Slytherin.
Following an impulse, she pointed to the stairs. "How are you doing? Do you have any plans, or would you like us to continue together?"

But very soon distraction came in the form of what seemed to be an angry fae queen named Dee. Oh boy. Ileen immediately realized that from now on she would have to constantly de-escalate, but maybe it was a good idea for the two of them to talk out their silly back and forth and put it behind them. “Dee? Didn't you have plans with others? What happened?” The young Slytherin tilted her head and gave her a crooked smile. “Cute costume. And sure. I just wanted to go upstairs.”
Probably it was a blessing that Dee had not yet recognized Percival. Now the only thing left to do was to prevent him from running away. If he would allow it, she would wave him over with a light smile. "Let us go and then you can tell us what happened to you that was so terrible." The last words didn't go to Dee without a portion of sarcasm.

If they would follow her, Ileen would walk up the stairs to get to her next stop: Muggle Studies. When she got there and looked at the displays, she picked up a popcorn ball with a wrinkled nose and quickly put it back. They had had this a lot at school at home and they were really disgusting. Thoughtfully she bit her cupcake and turned to her companions. "Have you ever seen these Muggle candies before?" She knew that Dee had grown up around Muggles, but she also was very curious about Percival.

Percival felt his brows furrow at Ileen's expression which held a mocking tone. The boy knew his outfit was rushed and not very creative. He didn't need Ileen to let him in on that fact. It wasn't like he cared about dressing up and getting candy. He had only really felt compelled because everyone else was doing it, and he didn't want to be the only one to sit out. Not like it made much difference, it wasn't like people could recognize him.

The boy frowned as he watched Ileen look behind him. Percival opened his mouth to ask her what exactly she was looking at. Though his question was answered as she asked him another question. He guessed the other was wondering where Hanako was. The two had been attached at the hip for the majority of their first year at Hogwarts. Especially, after Hanako's falling out with Lei. Though after the events of summer, things had been left feeling somewhat rocky and unstable. It was a feeling Percival disliked and a sadder frown crossed his features. Percival was starting to wish he had gone with Hanako to roam Hogwarts halls. "I'm fine. Sure I guess we can go together if that is what you want." he said with a small shrug.

Percival would have said more if he hadn't been interrupted. The boy let out a small grunt as a mysterious person bumped into him. His disgruntlement turned to annoyance as he realized who exactly just bumped into him. "I'd say the same to you, but I think you would have been much scarier if you went as yourself." his voice showing the hostility that his costume did not let him show. Despite the arrival of Dealla, Percival was not so sure he wanted to leave to go by himself. It wasn't like he knew where to go anywhere, and wandering around the halls by himself sounded like no fun. So Percival moved to the other side of Ileen as far away from Dealla as he could get at that moment.

The boy would follow Ileen up the stairs and into Muggle Studies. It was a classroom he didn't recognize, and it was the same for the candy that was held within. Percival walked up to the array of candies which were soon explained to him as Muggle candies. The boy shook his head before saying, "No I have not." with a quizzical look on his face. Percival picked up one of the multi-colored triangles. Bringing the small candy up underneath the sheet and into his mouth. Chewing into the candy, Percival was surprised he enjoyed the taste. Even if it was created by a Muggle.

Coming from the Small Hall

Dee blinked at Ileen's question, her sour mood, which had momentarily been interrupted by her run-in with Mr Bedsheet, returning in full force, as did the disgruntled expression. "I lost them," she said shortly. "I don't know. They were suddenly gone and I was surrounded by a legion of skeletons."

Then Mr Bedsheet spoke, and Dee's mood worsened even further, if that was possible at all. "Oh, it's you," she said, scowling up at him. Percival and Dee's encounters so far had been... Interesting, to say the least. First time, she'd run into him with considerably more force than this time, and broken his guitar - although she'd fixed it later. Second time she'd thrown paint at him. He'd gotten his revenge, but had apparently decided to hate her based on those two occasions. So far, she'd taken it in stride - it had been rather amusing, really, to see him strangling his guitar and throwing pillows at her just because she'd dared to enter the same space as him. But she'd been in better spirits then, and now she was not in the mood to deal with this. She wasn't the most patient person under normal circumstances, and right now, her temper was much shorter than usual.

In response, she bared her teeth at him in something resembling a snarl. "You should be scared costume or not, because I can kick your ass no matter what I'm wearing," she shot back at him, her voice sharper than anything he'd likely heard from her so far. If he wanted to antagonize her that was his choice, but she wasn't going to take it lying down this time, literally or figuratively.

Thankfully, Ileen was there to create a bit of a buffer between the two of them. Maybe she'd even manage to prevent a fight. Either way, with Percival on the other side of her best friend, Dee at least didn't have to look at him anymore as they walked to the Muggles Studies classroom. However, with Rainwood around, she also didn't feel like explaining her misery, so she restrained herself to grumbling to herself on the way up the stairs, and then stomped over to grab two Hershey's Kisses from the display, and after a moment of thought, a third one.

Still, she heard Percival's reply to Ileen's question, and rolled her eyes, although with her back turned, they wouldn't have seen it. "Stupid pureblood," she muttered.

Costume - Shoes - Treat Bag

October 30^th, 2020

From all the holiday that the world offered, Cash loved Halloween the most. The twelve years old like to dress up. From when they were little, they always dress up as something haunting. Whether as a mummy, zombie or those bed sheet ghost.

Cash never one wear those frilly princesses dresses when Halloween rolled around. This time is no different. Cash's mother know how much her only daughter loves Halloween. Sometimes ago Cash got a package from back home a Halloween costume with some face paint.

After open up the package, the huge smile spread over their face. Cash did not know who they dressed up as. All they know they loved their costume. Dress from head to toe in white, they decorate their face as what it is shown on the front picture of their costume package.

The striking feature from all of their get up is their purple hair. Once Cash finished putting on their costume and make up, they get out from their dorm room. A red balloon with thin string they hold it on their right hand. When Cash passed by Slytherin Common Room, they saw a familiar figure.

Cash loved Halloween and it will be fun to celebrate with other instead doing it with only themselves. The green eyes tied the red balloon string on the wood of a chair, they walked around until they stood behind a girl that is reading a book while laid down on the sofa.

They look down at the girl and muster their most sinister smile. "Get up!"Cash told the girl. They wait for the girl reaction when realize whose behind the white mask. Once the girl realize it is the second year beater, they will laugh with how frighten the girl is.

"It is Halloween, Star. Let's trick and treating"Cash said to Starlee. Cash grabbed Starlee from her previous position and pushed her towards the direction of the blonde's dorm. "I wait for you. Hurry up"Cash demanded.

Once Starlee come out from her dorm room, once again Cash grabbed the girl hand and dragged her towards the first location for the trick and treat of the evening. They untied the balloon and hold it again in their right hand.

When both of the students reached the locked doors of Muggle Studies classroom, the purple hair peered into the smoke filled cauldron. They put inside their hand and grabbed some random candies from it.

When they pulled out their hand, they took two boxes of Nerds and five Hershey’s kisses. The second year is familiar with the Muggle munchies since their mother loves chocolate and Cash themselves loves sour candies. Cash then put into the black bag that they bring with. They look at Starlee.

"What candies do you get?"Cash inquired the first year, curious of what the other get from the cauldron.

It was quite often that Starlee would hunker down somewhere with her nose in a book. And, in her eyes, even though today was the day before Halloween, it gave her that much more time to enjoy herself. Of course, she did plan on taking part in the festivities at some point, but, as per usual, she ended up spending a lot more time reading than she initially planned. She was getting to a particularly exciting part when she felt the presence of someone behind her. Spooky...

"Get up!" the person said, and Starlee quickly dropped the book onto her lap and looked around to see who it was. "EEEP!" she yelled, as she saw the somewhat terrifying clown in front of her. 'Who... who...' Starlee pondered for a minute, before realizing it was Cash in a rather terrifying Halloween costume. 'Wow, they sure can pull that look off!' she thought, admiring Cash's boldness in costume. "Wha- Wow... I hardly recognized you Cash! That's a great costume!" she said, grinning up at the second-year. "It is Halloween, Star. Let's trick and treating" Starlee perked up at this. 'Wow... Cash wanted to go trick or treating with ME???' She quickly shoved a bookmark in her book, stood up and said, "UH... YEA! Let me get ready really quick!" It was then that Starlee felt Cash's hands grab her from the other side of the couch, and pushed her in the direction of her dorm. "I wait for you. Hurry up" Cash said, rather demanding like. Cash wasn't going to take no for an answer, and the blonde wasn't going to deny Cash either. So she scurried off toward her dorm to throw on her outfit from the ball that doubled as her 'Star' costume. She tried to straighten herself up the best she could, grabbed a generic tan bag to put some candy in, and ran back out. Cash then grabbed her hand, and off they were to the Muggle Studies classroom.

They quickly arrived at the classroom where there was a large smoke fille cauldron, filled with various muggle candies, along with a few carved pumpkins. Starlee watched as Cash pulled out some Nerds and Hershey Kisses, something Starlee knew all too well from her Muggle mother. Starlee shoved her hand in the pot and managed to retrieve a pack of candy corn, a box of nerds, and five Hershey kisses.

"What candies do you get?" Cash asked, and Starlee replied, "Well, some candy corn... a box of nerds, and the Hersey Kisses!" she smiled and then began to giggle as she said "I hope people avoid those Popcorn balls, such a nasty trick to play on those pureblood students!" As she said this, she secretly hoped one, Elizabeth Issacs, would certainly fall for it. Of course... she probably wouldn't be caught dead in front of the Muggle Studies classroom.

Starlee couldn't wait to see what the other classrooms had in store.
