It is the night of prom, and throughout the school grounds the haunting caws of Corrividus can be heard, swooping over the heads of students. The birds seem to act as guides, flying along the main pathways and urging the students to follow with insistent cries, their glowing marks easy to follow in the darkness.
They lead students towards a long pathway, it's sides gilded by trees who's limbs intertwine to form a canopy overhead. Dozens of corrividus perch in the branches, their piercing gaze following students as they make their way towards the gymnasium. The building itself has again taken the form of a castle for the festivities, except this year it seems more...bigger, taller, grander. The castle towers spiral into the sky leaving most to crane their necks just to see the tops.

Once inside, it is difficult not to notice the central piece of the gym; at the far end there are six chairs, the two innermost much larger and more imposing then the outer chairs. Each is draped in the colors of the student council, along with a large tapestry depicting the essence of that particular council member. Along the sides are two long tables pushed against the walls, draped in spotless tablecloth and littered with expensive silverware(read: cheap knockoffs designed to look expensive). The middle is left empty for dancing and merrymaking.
Gnomes litter the area, holding a cup of...something. Whatever it is they seem to be quite merry from drinking it. They stagger around, spouting random wisdom to anyone standing nearby. This may sound like random dribble, or perhaps something more valuable, such as answers to the next test, or when Ariel is prone to give out detentions.
gaia_crowngaia_crowngaia_crown WELCOME TO PROM 2017!
This is the main dance hall thread, where your characters can gather, chit-chat, dance, get inebriated and just have a good time! This is also where you will find information about Prom Court nominations and of course, the music playlist.
As you may have noticed, there are also other threads in the subforum for minigames with exciting prizes! Be on the lookout for supplemental activities both here and in the main TiH thread for opportunities to gain additional currency....
Oh no, it looks like someone might have spiked the punch! Or...a few someones...it's hard to tell. There are a few empty bottles laying beside the massive punch bowl, and at this point, drinking the fruity concoction within is probably something of a gamble.
Drink er beware!

2. Giggle water - Why is everything suddenly so funny? You can't. Stop. Giggling! At all.

Off to the side of the entrance to the gymnasium is a small table, adorned only with pens, paper, and a lockbox. A hastily scrawled sign reads: PROM COURT NOMINATIONS.
A mysterious gnome in a red robe lurks nearby, muttering something about "the true king"...
gaia_crowngaia_crowngaia_crown
DONUT FORGET to vote for your PROM COURT FOR 2017!
Each person (not character) gets to vote ONCE -- one vote for a prom king, one for a prom queen, and one for a jester -- so think carefully about who you want to vote for! You have until Saturday, August 19th to PM TIH Student Council with your votes, after which they will all be tallied in order to announce the winners. The announcement of the winners will be made in this thread, and a notice will be posted in the title as to which page to see for the results. At that point, the winners will be asked to gather on stage to be crowned ICly by the reigning student council presidents!
As previously noted, the winners will be determined by popular vote. The King nominee who has the most votes will be named Pumpkin King, while the Queen nominee who has the most votes will be named the Pumpkin Queen. The second highest King nominee will be named Prince, and likewise the second highest Queen will be named Princess. Jester is self explanatory! NOTE -- THESE VOTES ARE NOT BY COUPLE -- YOU ARE VOTING FOR THE INDIVIDUAL. That means it is entirely possible for the Pumpkin King and Queen to have NOT come to prom together!

Is it a trap?! [ 01 ] [[ The character who discovers and obtains this randomly positioned candy pouch belongs to the first individual to quote this post while rolling 1d4. ]]
While this compact candy pouch has an opaque side, it also has a transparent side that serves as a visual window exposing its snug contents of wrapped-up, gumball-sized hard candies.
Zar arrived to the prom with a definite hint of reluctance. It was always strange coming back to Amity these days, feeling completely out of place the longer he was away. But the fact remained that Superbia had wanted to come along and if Junior was going, he saw no reason why his scareling couldn't go, after all both of them had a competitive streak going between them both.
He was dressed in a very fancy regency style suit with his hair in an elegant updo twined throughout his horns. Superbia stood at his side, a small and slender little figure with greyish blue skin and big yellow eyes, including a yellow eye on his forehead. Appearance wise he was unmistakably Barth's son, though had light hair riddled with feathers. He wore a big pair of scientific looking goggles which Zar hadn't managed to talk him out of wearing and was dressed in a smaller version of Zar's suit with a labcoat worn over it. He hadn't been able to talk him out of that either. He had a set of chicken feet with large feathers and a little set of wings folded neatly on his back. There was a small hole cut in his shirts to allow the little yellow eye there also to peer out.
"Can I go look around?" he asked Zar, who nodded indulgently. "Don't bother anyone too much." he said, quietly.
It was surprising how awkward and solitary he felt without Barth, on guard as if something might attack him at any moment.
Junior was there, because of course he was, looking all over the place for free food straight away, his chest tongue lolling eagerly, getting gold drool everywhere.

Merry was up at the head table. She was kneeling in her chair, her arms folded in the table top as she practically sprawled over them and it in her impatience and excitement. Wings folded against her back, tail flicking back in forth in erratic sweeps across the floor. Her dress was able to match the bright tips of her wings, open backed and slit in one side to show dark leggings down to her ankles. There was a darker cloak that she had probably work at the start of her evening, but it was laying over the back of her chair at the moment. Her hair had been left loose, laying in soft culs across her shoulders and down her back.
She wanted everyone there now. This slow trickle at the start made her anxious, but she pushed when she saw Zar, and practically scrambled out of her chair to stride across the dance floor to meet him as a little demon wandered away from his side.
"You came!" Her voice trilled with delight as she threw her arms up around his shoulders and bumped her cheek to his.

Sludge didn't feel like sitting, skulking around the his chair and scanning the hallway for anyone coming inside. He had worked as hard as he could, although there were many aspects of this prom he found confusing. There were two kings, he knew that much, and he was sworn to...one of them, and had to follow only them? Then he heard that HE could become king.
It was a lot to take in. He would somehow get his head around all this. Biting at the edge of his long sleeve (such loose fitting clothes!), he nodded towards Zar and a tinier demon came in. Guests were starting to come in.
"Welcome...." He hissed. Talking was effort, but he hoped he had improved a little in the past few weeks.
Carrol jerked awake with a phlegmy snort as a particularly mouthy corrividus screeched overhead.
"What in the s**t..."
The wig monster rubbed at one of his eyes as he looked down at his shirt, his pants, and the dandelion bouquet he had crushed while he slept (probably illegally) on Amityville grounds. There was muffled music coming from the gym that hadn't been there before, and the airy, falsely happy voices of teenagers looking to Get Some Tonight wafted toward him from the same direction. He sat up, blearily staring off into the trees, until suddenly things clicked. He was here for the prom. The boil began to chuckle, springing to his feet and racing after the guiding birds, down the path, and into the castle. He left his flowers behind.
Once inside, he was immediately paralyzed by the array of choices before him, so instead of partaking of anything, he turned to the guy closest to him and said,
what he look like 5'5"; vaguely chitinous black scorpion skin with tiny, pasty toddler hands and feet; four eyes, each a different color; scorpion tail with black and white striped sock over it; big ears, braces, cigarette, gravity-defying bright orange hair; tuxedo t-shirt split in half by his weird broken torso; black jeans; no shoes

Sammy sat tall and proud off to the side of the main table. Her green banner hanging high in the hall above her head as she drank from a goblet of punch. She looked less like she was going to Prom and more like she was ready to march off to fight a war in her thick suit and heavy green cloak. A lazy Foxfire stretched oddly long resting around her neck.
She was enjoying this whole "Kings Guard" thing, it was a pretty cool way to work on the student council this year.
Her gaze shifted across the otherwise still empty room watching as MerryZar. She gave them both a nod which only Zar would see as she raised her goblet to him before taking another long drink.

Llyrendil wandered in, looking quite a bit like he had done so on accident, rather than on purpose.

Zar relaxed a little bit when he saw Merry. Any familiar face in the sea of people was an anchor for him. It was odd how different it was when he wasn’t simply posturing angrily at Barth, his attention was forced outwards and inwards without him to latch onto. Suddenly he was acutely aware of the fact that he was on his own and that he was vulnerable as a result, the mark on his chest seeming more like a weakness out here than the usual point of intense pride.
He flushed a little when Merry hugged him but inwardly reminded himself the twins were here somewhere.
"Hello there beautiful." He said.

Hirzael was awed by the magnificence of the school building that had been transformed into a castle. It took him a few minutes of admiring it before he was finally able to tear his eyes away long enough to go inside. There, of course, there was an even greater multitude of things to gawk at, from the decorations to the formal wear to the variety of the students themselves.
One he actually seemed to bump into on accident. Was that a...student? They were long-limbed and tall with scales and...pinkish leafy plant-looking things growing out of their back. In addition, slender chains draped across his body, unified by a lock at his chest, and a crown of twigs and white flowers rested atop his head. Regardless of who or what he was, the imp couldn't help but find him a tad bit intimidating.
"Uh, hi," he said timidly, raising his head to look up at the being. Being 4'6" himself, Hirzael was used to having to look up, but with such a height difference between them, he thought speaking to the guy for prolonged amounts of time would make his neck hurt. "Are...you here for the prom?" The guy looked about as lost as Hirzael felt.
