THEY DID THE MASH

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.

HE CAN'T SPEAK...

"Let me find you a pen and paper or something."

She's totally picking him back up again and tenderly holding him against her bosom like a cute little baby in her arms. With spines.

"Come on."

[flawlessbitty]

A-Ah... This really shouldn't be as comforting as it is, yet something in him instinctively draws him to the touch, like a child and his mother. Of course, he never did have one, in all technicality unless momma doom counts????, so he cannot quite pinpoint the feeling.

Shadow thoroughly enjoys it, however, and he clings to her, nodding in agreement. That would be of help, for sure.

...

Of course, he is still a fifty-year-old hedgehog, so he kind of makes it a point not to even remotely touch certain mounds. Eep. No thanks. That would be disgusting of him.

Her determination was founded and steadfast, as were her strides. Shadow ranked above casual acquaintance in her book--not quite close friends yet but certainly enough for her to drop what she was doing to find aid in a time of need.

Soon enough she finds her office, unlocks the door and sets him down on one of the spare chairs. Her office is slightly less organized than her classrooms, littered with mechanical project parts on the desk (nothing that she cared for too deeply however, as she knew theft was quite prevalent here.)

"Somewhere..." She muttered while carelessly shifting her unfinished work aside. Aha--a notepad. And then a pen.

"Here."

[flawlessbitty]

Shadow felt the potential in her, truly. He wasn't about to devout a lot of trust in her yet, but for her to learn his story was already a large leap, a privilege. No doubt they'd get places unless she did something absolutely awful.

Speaking of getting places, hello messy office. His eyes folded down as he suppressed the urge to start going on a cleaning spree. Goodness, this place needed to be more neat. Was she always this organizationally clumsy?

At this point, that wasn't important. Communication. Right. He took the notepad and began scribbling, and in a matter of seconds, he handed it back to her, his scrawl quite clean:

"Do you know some way to reverse this?"

Please, please do, Samus. He was counting on you.

[icequeen_aran]

She pursed her lips together.

"The most I can offer is maybe a way to figure out the source."

She sighed and ran her fingers through her bangs, knowing she couldn't do much more than that. "When did this start?"

[flawlessbitty]

Ah, dammit. It was something, at the very least, so he wasn't about to turn it down. In fact, if he found the source, maybe he'd locate some form of an antidote.

Yes! Yes, that was exactly what he would do. Shadow and Samus could pinpoint the source, and from there, they could concoct a reversal tincture. Perfect.

"The night of October 31st," he wrote, his expression somewhat wry. "How very fitting, isn't it? A holiday of nightmares..."

Ha.

Ha.

[icequeen_aran]

"Probably someone's idea of a sense of humor." She retorted with a snort. Obviously, she was not someone who shared that.

"These things usually run for a week before wearing off. Is there anything else you can think of that might be a clue?"

[flawlessbitty]

"Oh, yes. Hilarious." What would actually be amusing is seeing the perpetrator get nailed as soon as he's back to normal. Shadow planned on hounding them the hell down.

"I've seen no evidence of who or what this is. I have yet to perform a deeper forensics investigation on the area where I changed."

[icequeen_aran]

"Where was that, exactly?"

[flawlessbitty]

"Upon leaving my office for the night, I'd turned at the corridor to my left. It was just a few feet down that hallway that I'd changed, just in front of one of the water fountains."

At least Shadow was very specific about information and data, so there was no way that area could be missed.
