THEY DID THE MASH

[mansionstaff]

Who: ERRYBODY
What: CURSES
Where: ALL OVER THE SCHOOL
When: Halloween night through November 7th.
Warnings: 2spooky.

It was a dark and stormy night--

Well, no. It wasn't. In fact, it was rather cool and clear, a perfect October evening for the perfect October celebration. Stars winked above, the choice accompaniment to the orange moon looming overhead. Tonight. Tonight would be a party.



But just as the sun begins to set, the sound of cackling can be heard ringing through campus, the harbinger of what could only be described as Halloween Shenanigans.

Woe betide those that fell into her path.

Oh, was he ever.

Char, sadly, was not much of a nerd pop culture ace. If you listened closely, you might hear the quiet whooshing sound of Jolt's costume flying right over Char's head. He just shrugged to himself and assumed that Jolt had dressed up as a 1980's party cop or something. Not even a gold star for trying, Char.

"Hey, Jolt. I figure the kid can't have gotten too far." (The pants were still warm and/or freshly floral-scented, plus he figured that Bulba would probably get cold being pantsless for too long. Autumn ain't that balmy.)

[rivalrazorleaf]

These are the things that you would think.

You would also think it'd be easier to pick up on a flower scent in the air to follow, but that trail is sort of... not as strong, you might say.

MAYBE HE WAS WITH GREEN. MAYBE THEY WERE HAVING A PANTS FREE PARTY. They should check on that status.

[rivalkidneypunch]

EXCELLENT IDEA, OMNISCIENT NARRATOR.

If nothing else, it would be extremely relevant to their interests to know that Green was okay too. Or okay enough to remember to keep his phone on his person, at least.

So, while Char was at it, out went the phone again, with a quick text sent Green's way.

Is Bulba with you? Me and Jolt are lookin for him. He left his pants outside.

[rivalappeared]

Green shot a confusing message back a few moments later.

hes not with me. he left his pants?? careful he might have got his p traded for a v or somthing

[rivalkidneypunch]

what?

No, seriously. What?

[rivalappeared]

where are you

[rivalkidneypunch]

Out in the quad.

[rival63]

This got no response, since Green decided to just grab his shit and leave the room looking for Char and Jolt. However, Green never showed. There was a girl with the same color hair and eyes as Green walking briskly towards them, though.

[rivalkidneypunch]

Who was this broad and what was her deal? Kind of reminded him of Daisy (Pallet-Town-Daisy, not the princess one), but that didn't make any...

...Oh.

No, no way. That was a bit too farfetched for... well, no, actually, it wasn't like this'd be the first time Smash had seen surprise sex-swaps. Well, shit. Suddenly, puzzling non-sequitur warnings about p's and v's made a whole lot more sense. Char quietly resigned himself to a week of whyboners.

"Seriously?" Char asked, giving Green's new look a (strictly platonic, for the record) once-over.

[rival63]

Green gave Char a sullen look. She was wearing one of her looser shirts and signature jacket, but had pulled on a pair of leggings borrowed from Blue in the time between the transformation and Char's first text message. She jammed her hands in her pockets.

"Happy Halloween," she grumbled.

[rivalthunderbolts]

"Wait, what the hell is going on now?" Jolt asked, confused as all hell. Who was this cute girl that Char was complaining at?

[rivalkidneypunch]

Oh, right. Jolt probably hadn't even entertained the notion that maybe sometimes people he knew would spontaneously change genders. No wonder he was confused.

"Jolt. That's Green." Char helpfully pointed out. Yep, no reason to be confused anymore. You're welcome.

[rivalthunderbolts]

...

"Haha, good joke. No, seriously, what's going on?"

Jolt hoped beyond hope that Char was pulling his leg. Otherwise he was just entertaining the weirdest thoughts about his trainer there.

[rivalkidneypunch]

"No, really. That's Green."

It's okay, Jolt. At least you can take solace in the fact that you weren't the only one to think things that you wish hadn't been thought. This, clearly, was going to be a long Halloween.

[rivalthunderbolts]

Jolt was silent. A million thoughts flowed through his head, seeking expression. Finally, he found the appropriate words.

"What the actual fuck."

[rival63]

"Yeah, welcome to Smash, Jolt. I know the party seemed like your initiation, but this is actually it. A world of 'what the actual fuck'." Green crinkled her nose, all awkward thoughts flying straight over her head. Just don't stare at her ass, boys, and she'll probably never notice.

"So, I guess now we connect the pants to the Bulba?"

[rivalthunderbolts]

Jolt quickly banished the thoughts as fast as he could. Never thinking about that again, for everyone's sake, especially his own.

"You've got a great ass." "Well, Char and I should be able to track his scent," Jolt offered. "I would say if we spread out we should be able to find him, but if some weird shit's going down, it's probably better for us to stick together."

[rivalkidneypunch]

Agreed. This was clearly one of those "never speak of it again" situations.

"Yeah, I'd rather not risk the rest of us gettin' stranded with no pants. He can't be too far off, anyway. His pants are still warm." Speaking of, he'd better hold onto those. Bulba might need them, and he probably wouldn't appreciate random-ass punk kids ganking his cell out of the pocket.

"We might be countin' on you for this one though, Jolt. You got a better nose'n I do, and I dunno about you, but I'm havin' a little trouble with this one." For whatever reason, the usual floral smell was plenty strong around said pants, but the trail from there seemed strangely faint. HOW MYSTERIOUS...

[negativeions]

"Got it, I'll give it a shot," Jolt said. He shifted back into Jolteon form, where his sense of smell was even better, sniffing at the pants, and then the air. He started to follow the scent, inviting Greenia and Char to follow.

[rivalrazorleaf]

And so it was time to follow Jolt's nose. The faint trail would lead the trio away from the quad, curving around campus until they reached the garden.

Well that made sense.
