One, two, three… Okay, all puppies accounted for. We're starting homeroom.
I have something important to talk to you all about today.
It likely goes without saying that there is only one month until Halloween.
|
Classmate A
|
Halloween's finally here. I've been waiting for this!
|
Classmate B
|
It's been my dream since forever to spend a Halloween at Night Raven College!
|
Grim
Grim
|
All it took was mentioning Halloween for everyone to get all excited!
I guess Lilia and the ghosts were telling the truth when they said it was a special day.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Hey, you guys.
I got a glimpse this morning on the way here, but what the hell's going on at Ramshackle?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Malleus and Lilia look as if they're giving it their all.
|
Choice 1: Doesn't it look fitting for Halloween?
|
Choice 2: Yup. Sure is something, I tell you…
|
Ace
Ace Deuce
Deuce
|
Hey, I like how excited you are! If you're having fun, that's all that matters.I'm glad they're putting up such cool decorations!
|
Ace
Ace
|
It's either go big or go home for Halloween.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Talking about going big… Have you bought a pumpkin to decorate your room with already, Yuu?
I noticed there was already a huge line outside the Mystery Shop. The pumpkins sell out quick, so you gotta go fast.
|
Ace
Ace
|
A jack-o'-lantern's all it takes to make it really feel like Halloween's arrived.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Even you two look like you're looking forward to this. Is this all because of Halloween?
|
Ace
Ace
|
I mean, yeah? Is there anyone who wouldn't be?
Ignihyde's practically known for its introverts, but I'm sure even they come outside to live a little around this time.
Oh, and I can't forget the very diligent Deucey, now can I?
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
W-Well, it's Halloween. Nothing wrong with going a bit wild just for a day. I'll even get to dress up all cool…
I doubt there's anyone living in Twisted Wonderland that hates Halloween, regardless of age.
|
Crewel

*Sigh* This time of year always brings out the worst in the little pups.
Stay! Be quiet!
Just because this is your first Halloween, it doesn't mean you can misbehave. People will start questioning my training.
Listen closely. Halloween is an especially important time of year for Night Raven College.
"Halloween Week" is the name given to the week prior to the day itself.

The students become the stars of the show and hold a stamp rally for visitors coming from outside the school.
Each dorm chooses a location within the school campus to decorate with Halloween decorations and use as a stamp location.
What is important to keep in mind is that absolutely anyone from outside the school is allowed to participate in the event.
In other words, during Halloween Week, visitors will be walking all around the school.
Do any of you know why we put on such a troublesome event each year?
|
Grim
Grim
|
Me, me! I know the answer! So you can make a huge profit off of the entry fees!
|
Crewel
Crewel
|
No! Taking money from participants is out of the question! Entry to the school is free-of-charge.
Open your ears and listen, puppies. The reason NRC has managed to weave such a long history…
…is because we have the understanding and cooperation of everyone living on the Sage's Island. It is because of their nurturing gazes filled with warmth.
Halloween Week is a precious opportunity to show the results of your training to them.
Now pull yourselves together so you don't make a fool out of us or yourselves!
|
Grim

|
A stamp rally, huh? Is that why Lilia was decorating Ramshackle?
It feels like a festival! I'm already excited!
|
Ace
Ace
|
Why are you acting so surprised? The Halloween Committee should have already told you about this.
|
Grim
Grim
|
You what? The Halloween Committee?
|
Crewel
Crewel
|
In order to ensure the smooth operation of Halloween Week, students from each dorm are chosen to assist with the proceedings.
Did the headmaster not tell you about it?
|
Grim
Grim
|
He didn't.
|
Crewel
Crewel
|
What!?
…Yuu, don't tell me you weren't told anything, either?
|
Choice 1: I wasn't.
|
Choice 2: It's my first time hearing anything about this.
|
Crewel
Crewel
|
*sigh* He really forgot to tell you both?
|
Ace
Ace
|
How forgetful can one guy be?!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Ah, but there's nothing to worry about!
If there's something either of you don't understand about Halloween Week,
you can just ask me.
After all… I'm part of the Halloween Committee this year!
|
Ace
Ace
|
Why are you acting like such a big shot? You just got chosen 'cause of a lottery.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Shut up, Ace. Even if it was just luck, Dorm Leader Rosehearts encouraged me to do my best…
Halloween is such a traditional event at Night Raven College. I'll do everything in my power to make it succeed!
|
Crewel
Crewel
|
There's nothing wrong with being enthusiastic, but do ensure you do not slack on your studies, even as a committee member.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Y-Yes, sir. Of course!
|
Crewel

|
Anyway, just because it's Halloween, that does not mean you get to do nothing but play around, puppies.
If any bad boys decide to disobey me, you will no longer be allowed to go to the party on the 31st.
|
Grim
Grim
|
What?! Did you just say "party"?!
|
Crewel

On the night of Halloween, Night Raven College holds a party on-campus.
The visitors are the guests of honor, but it is a huge, huge party to which the students and ghosts are also all invited.
|
Grim
Grim
|
D-D-Does...
Does that mean there'll be yummy food, amazing food, and the best food served there?!
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
I've heard that they order catering from famous chefs so that the cafeteria ghosts can enjoy themselves, as well.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Apparently, there's so much food there every year that everyone struggles to finish it all.
My brother showed me some photos from past Halloweens once, and all the food there looked delicious.
It's a really fancy event, pretty much on the same level as prom.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Fgnya… A fancy party! Can Halloween hurry up already?!
|
Crewel
Crewel
|
Now. The next month will no doubt be frantic what with preparing all the costumes and decorations…
…but this is the time to make the best Halloween together with everyone!
