Fright Night had barely ended, and despite the strange happenings around school - rumors are that there was something going on with the "Haunted House" - school is going on as usual, and 2 students would find a note tacked to their door, summoning them to an exam.
Note tacked to room door Snot Advancement ExamVenue: Classroom 13 Time: 8am - Webday *Please be punctual; latecomers will not be allowed to participate. [OOC: This means that if you did not post in at least once within 48 hours from the time of summon, I have the right to remove you from this exam and put you in a solo exam/pass you over to someone else! Don't worry, it's not a permanent DQ from all exams, just this one!] Professor Malcolm

The classroom was oddly dim, even if the lights were on. It was also oddly empty; neither Malcolm nor any of his minipets were around. However, there was something on the whiteboard - a note for the students he had called down for their Year 3 advancement examination:
Had an emergency to tend to; will be back in 30 minutes. Your task is to groom a minipet within this time. Do it together. Check my desk.
On the desk was a cage with growling coming from within; the label on it reads "Kenny (Opal Flycat - Prone to biting and escaping)". Beside it were two pairs of bite-proof gloves, various types of hair brushes, and what looked like a leash that had been fastened to the desk - presumably to hold the minipet in place, and to prevent it from escaping. However, they will have to hook the leash to the minipet's collar first.
Exam Mechanics Every roll you make is 1 minute, so this exam has to be done within 15 rolls for each of you. I know not everyone can be online at the same time, so feel free to do as much as you can within 15 rolls, and then wait for the other person to do their rolls~
Note: These steps are done one after the other; aka you have to complete step 1 to move on to step 2, and complete step 3 before moving to step 4!
RP coming in and putting on gloves; both participants must do this before moving on. This is the only part of the exam that actually requires you to wait for the other person. Pick up the Flycat and fasten the leash to its collar: Roll 1d10, anything not 1 or 10 is a success. Start brushing it: Roll 1d10, the number you get is the "amount" brushed. So if you get a 1, it means that the minipet was struggling/bitey and you didn't get much brushing done. If you get a 10, you managed to do quite a bit of brushing by keeping a firm hold on the minipet. -> Combined, you need a total of 150 by the end of 30 rolls.
Use the following form at the bottom of every post!
[b]Roll:[/b] ???/15 [b]Combined brush points:[/b] ???/150
Please quote me (Dragain) after you are done. Feel free to IM/PM me any questions you might have.

The note on his dorm room door had Alex stopping and rubbing at his face, then running fingers through his hair as well. Exam time. Okay, right, he could do this. It was quite possibly the worst timed exam in existence, but if not now, when? It was his time, and like the dutiful young zombie boil that he was he felt that this was not something he could miss or pass up on. He read the note over carefully, making sure he had all of the information correct, and then when the time came to go, he went, possibly moving faster then he ever had in his unlife.
He really needed to just get this over with as quickly as possible.
-----------
The classroom he approached was dim, and empty, and the zomboil had to pause, wondering if he somehow got the room number wrong. But no, he was sure that the note had said '13', so this had to be right. He slowly shuffled his way inside. "Hello?" He called out, pale eye sweeping the room, looking for the professor who had summoned him. He had been in one of Malcolm's classes before, remembered what he looked like, but he was definitely no where in sight. But what he did notice was a message, scrawled upon the whiteboard, explaining the professors absence to some extent.
Wait, groom a minipet? Together? .....So did that mean that another student would be here soon as well? The zomboil had to wonder who it was, if it was somebody that he knew.
He followed the whiteboards instructions, moving over towards the desk that held a caged minipet, eyed the supplies, and read the tag in front of the cage. Shaking his head to himself a bit and wondering how in the seven hells he had managed to find himself a personal pet groomer to a professor on a day like today, the zomboil reached forward and grabbed for the gloves, slipping them on to his pale, undead hands, then waited for whoever else was supposed to arrive to help him.

Mac got the note, but really wondered who put him up for exams; he didn't think he was ready, but apparently someone did. His hesitations probably had a method behind the madness sort of explanation; perhaps his lingering back meant that Lizzy could graduate ahead of him and not worry about him anymore...or perhaps he just didn't want to be that much closer to graduation.
It meant eventually he'd have to be responsible and live a life and taxes.
He made his way to the classroom without a problem; he had a knack for remembering places to a T with his eidetic memory after all. When he got there it seemed that someone else appeared before him, but this one he was pretty sure he hadn't met before, but he couldn't be sure. His memory for places was fantastic, his memory for faces...not so much.
"Hey uh...here for an exam?" He asked the boil, strolling on through to the desk to also look at the board; there were too many words and his attention left, instead moving to the cage and the supplies. "So uh, what are we doing?"
But the mysterious zombie was putting on gloves, and from his brief glance at the board figured they were important, and also put on a pair.
Gloves :T

He didn't have to wait long before a boil he was sure he'd never met and possibly even never seen before entered the room, which was sad considering he'd been attending the school for nearly a year now and if this newcomer was also moving up to year three then....
Ya, just leave it at sad.
"Hey." He replied, waiting for the boil to approach so that they could get things moving. "Ya, the advancement to year three exam? Apparently the professor has left us to groom one of his pets until he returns." The zomboil rolled his visible eye (his only eye, but his hair obscured the fact that he was missing the other), then watched as Mac put on his pair of gloves.
"I'm Alexander, by the way." He didn't offer a hand or anything, not really in the mood for being his usual friendly and relaxed self and just wanting to get this finished. Still...it was rather nice to not have to do this alone. He wasn't used to doing anything on his own, sadly. Brusquely, he turned towards the cage, clumsily fumbling at the latch to open the door and reaching in to remove the pet, hesitating slightly before plunging his hands inside and hurriedly trying to get the damn thing leashed to the table.
It was a bit of a struggle, but he somehow managed to wrangle the flycat into stillness for long enough to get the leash clipped on to it's collar, before he took a step back, pulling his hands away before they could be bitten, gloves or not.
"There." He frowned. "Now I guess we're supposed to brush it or something."
