It would not have been his first choice but then again he had sort of . . . dozed off . . . Too much noise, too much to process at once. He'd have to hope Owain was having fun "recording" things in passing.
The kelpie got to her hooves (awkwardly) and quickly scuffled her way to the final Valentines piece (still quite awkwardly). "Thaaaank you," she chirped, wobbling on her legs a moment more before biting in. If it gave him anything remotely lovey dovey as a side effect, he swore . . .

Easter for Harrow
((pretty sure Easter's got one left!))
Harrow was slow -- consulting his notes while the other students rushed up to claim candy, trying to decide which sound the most interesting to him. Absently, he circled a couple options, chewing on the end of his pen until it complained and he stopped, and finally nodded. He approached hesitantly, reaching for Valentine's candy....and it was gone.
Well. Independe...gone.
He'd delayed too long. He blinked at the teacher in a baffled sort of way, swiped hair out of his face, and then set to seeing what was left -- grabbing the final piece of Easter Candy out of its basket to turn over curiously in his hand.
He'd take it back to his desk fro a quick drawing next to the easter section. Slowly, he unwrapped it, unfolding the foil and flattening it into his book. And then, hesitating, he'd bite the top off his egg.
Inside, a strange goo, that he hesitated over -- peering in at the mix of white-and-yellow goo. Well. It didn't look that much worse than things he ate at home. So he shoved the rest of the egg, whole, into his mouth, and slowly set to swallowing it.
Olivia jolted, blinking as her attention finally focused back on the class. Oh. Right, yes. She was in class but had apparently zoned out in her staring. Her eyes glanced at some of the others around her, noticing that one by one they seemed to be getting out of their seats and heading to Miss Selene for something. From a basket from the looks of it.
So, she got up as well and headed up to the baskets to see exactly what was in there. Perhaps there had been more, because from the looks of it there just seemed to be those peppermint cane things she had seen when Christmastown had decided to come for a visit left. She had made doors with those on a house, if she remembered correctly. Not thinking anymore of it, Olivia simple plucked one of the candy canes from the basket and went back to her seat.
It remained untouched and was simple twirled in her fingers.

Independence for Maple (Given permission to pick)
Maple had sat there, hesitating all the while as she watched the others gather around the basket that Miss Selene had set out for them to pick from. (And take notice of AJ coming in a little late to class, he would receive a small smile though she couldn't tell if he had seen her).
And just sitting there as she did, biting her lower lip, it didn't really come as a surprise to her that she would probably be one of the last few to actually pull a candy out from the presented basket. Figured. There probably wasn't anything even left for her. (Well, then maybe her dread would be relieved of them having to go anywhere, or at least her). But, probably wouldn't be the case so she finally got up from her seat and made her way over after that one ghoul that hung around Andrew went and got something.
And stared down at the baskets on the desk. Empty for the most part except one. Candy canes. The ghoul frowned slightly, not that she had anything against that holiday or the candy but, well she had already tried one of those before. Well, made sense. She had waited too long, so she reached in and rummaged a for at least a smaller piece of the candy. Only to find a little something else there at the bottom, a bag of those pop rock things. Oh. Unsure of what it was doing there, she simply took it out instead of one of the candy canes and went back to her seat.
And stared at it, turning the package over a few times.

When Carlos finished eating his pop rocks, Mimsy began to giggle again. She brushed a few stray bits of candy from his fur, and stroked his cheek with the back of her curled fingers. The riddle took a moment of thought, until she glanced away from him - it was easily apparent, then, and she found the method of introduction so charming.
"This one," she laughed. "The answer is this one!"
To better accommodate their conversation, she turned towards the boil she'd just referred to as 'this one'.
"Yes, year one! I am the strongly sensible student Sczes, of the soothwisen tulgey wood!" A mental thank you was extended towards Svensyl, for granting her the ability to speak in convincing detail. "A pleasure to meet you."
The jabberwock golem bowed its head in greeting, opting against a bow or curtsy for the sake of the cat in its arms. It seemed that her Cheshire friend had made several friends of his own already, and she greeted the mouse in turn, grinning over at her.
"I have indeed! Quite the quintessential acquaintance," she cooed, bending just enough to reach towards the dormouse. "A miceless tea party, hm? Might you be a mouse yourself, my dear? Ooo-OOH, a dormouse, perhaps?"
Her voice was soft and tinted with intrigue as she spoke, and she extended a single claw to gently, affectionately scritch the mouse under her chin, like one might with a cat.

Thackery / Candy Cane / Christmas
In the days since Thackery's return from Deus to Amityville, his attendance in classes had been sparse, few and far between. It was difficult to get used to this routine again, and he felt out of place in school now.
Maybe it was about time to attempt graduation. There were bigger and better things awaiting him, and they were all that he could think about. He daydreamed all throughout the class, and even missed the instruction to select some candy to taste. It was only when he noticed his classmates moving towards Miss Selene that he realized he was supposed to be doing something.
He pushed himself out of the desk and dragged himself towards the front of the classroom, his fluffy tail trailing on the floor behind him. Despite the candy in front of him, he couldn't muster up any excitement. Everything felt more important than it used to - even candy.
After some deliberation, he selected a candy cane. Before Deus, he clearly remembered the strength that a candy cane brought to him.
Quietly, he put the hooked end of the candy cane in his mouth, then moved to return to his desk.

At 4'10 in her humaniod form Camilla wasn't exactly "Short" however she was likely smaller then many of the students here at Amityville and she certainly was smaller then the Jabberwock before her the chin scratch wasn't expected but she didn't pull away either out of politeness
When the Jabberwock finished she smiles and nods "Im Camilla the Dormouse Monster!" She chirps cheerfully then laughs a bit "I guess I should have been more clear none of my Rodent Minipets will be attending I don't want to risk them getting eatten hah hah..." she says then rubs the back of her head if she a chocolatey brown dormouse at 2ft tall on all four feet wearing cloths could be mistaken for prey she knew darn well any number of her minis could too
"It's AJ and Bro." Carlos told Mimsy ears perking as he opened another packet, the poprocks falling a little on his coat before he poured some more into his mouth enjoying the crackle crackle pop.
He looked at AJ and then nodded a little. Carlos was getting used to having a room of his own. It was weird not sleeping with siblings, but it was starting to smell a little like him. But now that his riddling an singing was done, he was rather content to just remain coiled in comfortable arms.
"Teaparty." Carlos squeaked a bit and his hind paws wiggled but floated against mimsy just a bit to make sure he was still stable as she used a limb to greet Camilla. Tulgey wood sounded very familur, wasn't his family from around the soothwisen side.
He looked up at Mimsy and said very matter of factly
"What grows big and small, What has a tail that is quiet tall? What is a mouse but not food? What looks like a mini but is not nude? Camilla the door mouse."
And then carlos whined a little. "Mouse minis. Delicious." he wanted to chase them. Perhaps it was for the best if she didn't bring them.

Selene began to clear out the baskets, as all but a few candies were now gone. She left out the candy canes left over, and put away her baskets, dropping whatever candy she found on the desk of students who hadn't even been paying enough attention to get up and get some on their own. It was clean up time, and she wanted all of her candy gone, gone, gone!
"Now that you have all tried a taste of another world candy - and I do hope you enjoyed it! - it's time to do a little bit of work. Homework, to be exact!" She giggled into her hand at such a clever little joke. "Now, the homework for this class is quite simple. You are to do furtherresearchon, ah,class, eyes ahead, please payattention.. class?Ahem!"
Was Professor Selene's voice getting harder and harder to hear?
This class must be more boring than you thought. Your eyelids were getting heavier. You couldn't keep them open for long. The world around you begins to spin, and Selene's face, as she peers in to check on you, swirls helplessly into a blob of swirling color.
You hear her calling you. It sounds distant, and desperate. You want to tell her you can hear her, but you can't speak anymore. In fact, you can't do much of anything except drop down onto your desk, unconscious.
So much for safe snacking.
The OOC
You've passed out.
More OOC
What, that's not enough for you? Fiiiine. It's clear the candy Selene shared with the class wasn't as safe as she thought it was. Time spent in Halloween has merged the food with Fear, causing it to change and transform - whether it was in their stomachs, or not.
If you ate the candy:
Your stomach starts to churn, right before passing out. You feel like you're going to throw up, but you never get the chance. Your head hits the desk before your stomach can get rid of whatever poison you ate. Write a death solo.
If you didn't eat the candy:
The candy near you seems to have taken a life of it's own. The chocolate melts into your hands, hot and painful. The sticky sweet goo of candy finds you, and absorbs into your skin before you can wipe or scratch it off. Whatever just triggered inside of the candy was almost sentient, determined in it's need to find a host and dig in.
The candy never makes it to your stomach. It's in your bloodstream now, coursing through your veins, whether there's blood in them or not. Once it reaches your brain, you're unconscious before you hit the ground. Write a death solo.
If you haven't chosen a candy:
It is to be assumed that your character chooses a candy before the first student falls. PM me and we'll find a place for you!
This was wonderful, quite literally, until their instructor began to assign their homework. Her voice faded and trailed off, and only the first few words registered - not nearly enough to know what the homework was.
The horror. How could she do the assignment now? How could she live, knowing that she had not done her homework?
Mimsy couldn't, in fact. Simply couldn't, now that her record of perfection was marred.
And this death was the nerdiest possible death, which suited her just fine.

Carlos had been super excited. He was thinking about Tea parties and mouse minis. In fact he had been very content, not paying any attention to Selene or homework when he started to get a little sleepy.
Ok a lot sleepy. Carlos was very sleepy. Somewhere in his awareness Mimsy collapsed. That was ok. Carlos just snuggled up to her. Time for a nice nap.
She visably cringed a bit as Carlos delared why he liked mice but she smiles and laughs before pointing playfully at him "And thats why my rodent minis aren't coming! Heh" she says playfully
Suddenly Ms. Selene called for their attention and was about to dish out homework ok she kinda expected homework it was better then fighting large stinky robots that were determined to throw you down the trash chute however her voice suddenly started to seem more quiet which considering her sharp hearing shouldn't be possible
"Huh?" she mutters softly in confusion before perking her ears forwards and turning fully to face the Professor however it did little good and before long a wave of drowsiness hit her "Mmm... Did it get cold in here or something...? Why am I suddenly so sleeeepy" she says in a sleepy tone dragging out the last word as she yawns loudly
However she didn't have long to dwell on the sudden sleepiness as a wave of dizziness hit her shortly after the room starts spinning and she found her balence was suddenly shot "Whoa... W-whats going on..." she says in both a sleepy and confused tone sit down... she had to sit down...
Feeling her way back into her seat she practically dropped into it and veey nearly fell out of it as the dizziness picked up in intensity Camilla closed her eyes hoping to ease what was happening but it only continued to get worse as she opens them again she sees Professor Selene's concerned face least she thought that was what it was all the colors infront of her were bluring together into a strange blob of swirling color... she heard the professor's voice but it sounded distent and muffled she wanted to respond and ask what was happening but her body just wouldn't respond... And then it hit!
A wave of nausea hit her hard and fast she quickly wraps one arm around her stomach and the hand of the other covered her mouth she was about to be sick really sick but she didn't want too and swallowed hard several times however she was losing the battle and she knew it
Almost mercifully the swirl of colors slowly faded to black as consciousness slipped from her grasp before she could be sick causing her to flop limpy on her desk

It starts as a ringing in your ears.
Sound returns. Slowly. Surely. The rest of your senses aren't far behind.
But you're alive. You've made it. You're -

Vaith wasn't objecting to free candy. After all, consequences could only be so much with such a small mass. He looked up at the professor as she spoke. Further research? They had to research for class?
Tastes of the world beyond.. special experiences..
Those words only sunk in after Vaith ate the candy. It was already melting in his mouth. He tried to spit it back out but for some reason, it was caught in his throat and swallowed before he knew it. His eyes widened. He tried to gag it back up unsuccessfully--
--- and before he knew it, he was promptly out. Like a light. Like a very swirling mass of light.
Oh god, you don't take candy from anybody for a good reason.

Oh year 1, he likes newbies, they are cute and innocent.
"Sczes. Nice to meet you." He grinned to the jabberwocky. Then, their professional started to talk about homework which he seldom do anyway, he tried to catch her words, but her voice just got smaller and smaller. The last word he heard was "research" and then he knocked on the desk.
Sin shrugged and licked her lips trying to banish the last traces of sweetness from the candy. She sat down and was raising her pen to note what the St Patrick's marshmallows had tasted like when Selene mentioned homework. Oddly however Sin was having trouble paying the professor much attention. Her stomach was squirming and she frowned and placed a hand over it wondering if the sweetness had some ill effect. She didn't recall ever reacting adversely to minor over indulgences though, she used to eat Icky stix with Riley for Jack's sake and never had a stomach ache. The professors voice started to soften until Sin couldn't even hear her, her eyes slowly closed in an attempt to stave off nausea. She had the unpleasant thought that she was about to be horribly sick…and it was going to ruin her poised, calm, and collected image. That was when she slumped over her desk and passed out.
