HALLOWEEN '10

[headmasterhand.livejournal.com]

Who: Whoever!
What: HALLOWEEMS
When: October 31st, all day and all night.
Where: Everywhere!
Warnings: Spooky stuff.

Except it's not really all that dark and stormy. It's a cool, clear night in Final Destination, ready and waiting for shenanigans of all sorts. The streets are full of trick-or-treaters, the front porches are full of pumpkins, the sky is full of stars. All-in-all...a perfect evening.

Of course, nothing is always as it seems. As the night drags on, it becomes clear that something is not quite right. But what is Halloween without a few scares? As someone once said, it's close to midnight, and something evil's lurking in the dark...

Oh. Falcon maybe looked surprised at his admittedly dumb "I'm going to try and out-intimidate a Charizard" plan had actually worked, especially after she let loose that jet of flame. Maybe that was how...Charizards said hello? She certainly seemed a lot less threatening now that she was in human form and actually talking. His own flames dissipated and he straightened up, patting some embers off his (tragically not-fireproof) sleeve.

"We?" Did she think he was...also a Charizard? He took off his chainsaw in order to demonstrate that yes, it was a costume, and that all this was probably just a misunderstanding. "Not attacking, no. You're the second person to think that, for some reason. I teach here."

[punchvolcanoes]

"Yeah! You're a Pokemon right?" Well aduuuuh. How else could someone be able to channel fire like that? "Unless your a wizard, hahaha!" She meant it as a joke. Because that would be terribly silly.

"Maybe your costume should be a little less threatening," she offered looking at him up and down. "I didn't even notice the gun on your back before. I probably would have been a lot more violent otherwise. Didn't want anyone in this school harmed, that's all." Her eyes lit up at the fact he was a teacher, however. "Really? What do you teach?" Nothing bad at explaining you might have killed someone because of his costume and then asking what they taught right?

[raced_god]

"SURPRISE I'M MOLTRES, BITCH"

He shrugged. "I am neither Pokemon nor wizard." She could...make whatever she wanted out of that.

Oh. Right. Yeah, he was kind of wielding both a functional chainsaw and a shotgun, but honestly, it wasn't really a big deal to him. "I know what I'm doing. I teach physics."

[punchvolcanoes]

"Ohhh...." Huh now that was just completely confusing. "What are you then?" She couldn't make anything out of that, she needed answers.

For a Charizard raised in a world where the bad guys were faster to whip out their Pokemon than use guns or chainsaws, these things were a big deal.

"Physics..." Hey, wasn't that what the blond guy had told her about. The really complicated book. Jeff right? How what had he called the physics guy. Fa-fa... "Hey! You're Farakon!" Well...she almost remembered his name.

[raced_god]

"Weirdo. Freak of science. Pyrokinetic." He replied, twisting a little to inspect fire damage on the back of his shirt (not that his shirt wasn't a mess to begin with). "Whatever you want to call it. Other than that, I'm an average human."

The Captain was not terribly surprised she already knew his name. New students tended to ask about their classes, after all. "Falcon." He corrected gently.

[punchvolcanoes]

"Oh I see." No she didn't, but then again Sabrina could make things levitate right? Maybe Blaine knew how to use fire and she didn't know.

"Falcon..." she repeated with a smile. That immediately turned into concern. "Why is your class so difficult?!"

[raced_god]

"You...haven't even been to my class." He said, quite obviously perplexed.

[punchvolcanoes]

"Well it's just...I saw one of the guys reading a book when we arrived here, he had blond hair and glasses" she explained, the tragedy visible on her face. "There were so many numbers and equations, I didn't know what to make of it!"

[raced_god]

"You met Jeff." Well, that might explain why she was super intimidated about his class. "Well, you don't have to take it right away if you don't want to, but of course it's going to look difficult if you haven't heard about any of it before."

[punchvolcanoes]

"I lived in the mountains for most of my life! We only had a tiny television and played Rock Band for most of the days unless we had trainers come to us to fight. Well, that and the workouts but we had a lot of free time. We had books, but nothing that complicated." She stopped talking to grin. "I like reading!"

[raced_god]

Okay, so she was a mountain hermit. A mountain hermit that liked reading and rock band. How did they even get electricity up on the mountain? Pikachu in a hamster wheel.

"What do you like to read?"

[punchvolcanoes]

The answer Falcon was Pikachu in a hamster wheel power generators Powered by Pikachus.

She gave it some serious thought before answering.

"I like to read a lot of things. At first it was just basic stuff like Green Eggs and Gyrados Egg, but I eventually moved into Harry Potter and Teen Witch and Lord of the Power Rings."

[raced_god]

What a redundant book. Still, it was probably more than Falcon had ever read, so he shrugged.

"Well, if you want to sit in a class and then decide, you can certainly do that."

[punchvolcanoes]

"Okay! I'll do my best." Maybe he had books like physics for beginners or something.

"Man where are my manners. Kojiro would be so disappointed..." She extended her hand. "Name's Sasha! I'm Red's Charizard!"

[raced_god]

He gave all his copies of "Physics for Dummies" to Max.

"Nice to meet you." Falcon put forth his right hand, only to realize that it was still encased in a chainsaw. He pulled his lips tight and switched hands. "Sorry."

[punchvolcanoes]

Bummer.

"Nah don't be. I wish I had a chain saw hand."

No really. She kinda did.

[raced_god]

He removed the apparatus and set it down on the pavement (it was kind of heavy), shaking out his actual, much more boring hand.

"You know, the more I think about it, I kind of wish I did too. Or like some kind of swiss army robot hand with a bunch of different functions."

[punchvolcanoes]

She looked in near horror as the chainsaw hand came off and stared at it for a minute before looking back at him.

"Oh...I almost thought it really was your arm." She laughed awkwardly. "Hahaha! Oops!"

[raced_god]

Man that was like...the third person he'd managed to confuse with that thing. It must have been very convincing.

"Nah, I built it. You're not the first one to think it was my real hand."

[punchvolcanoes]

"You can build chainsaws?! Don't they...usually make them in factories or something? Do we get to do that in Physics?"

[raced_god]

"Not the chainsaw, no. I took a regular chainsaw and tweaked it a little. I wish I could tell you we did that in physics, but...well, you'll see. We do a lot of throwing stuff off the roof."

[punchvolcanoes]

"Throwing stuff off the roof....Does that mean I get to fly around in class?" That sounded awesome. "I'll be there, that's for sure!"

[raced_god]

"I would prefer that students do not throw themselves off the roof. So I guess it depends on the project."

[punchvolcanoes]

"But I have wings, so throwing off won't be a problem, right?"

[raced_god]

"Let's just say I've had issues with it before."

He put the chainsaw back on his hand.
