Episode 3-5: We Must Be So Very, Very Careful

Main Street
Deuce Deuce	Warning signs?
Silver Silver	…Oh! You mean like the signs you have up in the Mirror Chamber?
Vil Vil	Exactly. Have signs that clearly state rules that shouldn't be broken like we and Diasomnia have done.
Jade Jade	We can deem anyone who breaks those rules a Magicam Monster.
Epel Epel	That makes sense. And then we just chase them out, right?
…Hell yeah! We'll pummel them right out the school!
Idia Idia	Whoa, whoa, there's only so much you can wave off as being this imaginary security system at work. Our opponents aren't that stupid. If we get caught using our magic, we're the ones who're gonna be in trouble.
Cater Cater	Yeah, you're right. No matter how much trouble they're causing… …we aren't magic enforcers. It's absolutely off-limits for us to use magic on regular citizens. If we get caught, we're gonna be worrying about a lot more than just the Halloween party. The whole school's gonna be hammered by society!
Deuce Deuce	Then…what about we use our fists?
Ace Ace	Y'know, a fight's still a fight. Police'll be called, regardless.
Grim Grim	So we have to chase the Magicam Monsters out without attacking them? Is that even possible?
Hmmm…
Floyd Floyd	Ahahahahahahaha!
Riddle Riddle	…Floyd. Everyone here is being serious. Just what are you laughing about?
Floyd Floyd	I mean, just look at you all with your funny faces, thinkin' so hard about this. Why are you making it so hard? There's nothin' difficult about this, at all. You're all so weird.
Jade Jade	chuckle Floyd, it's not polite to laugh.
Azul Azul	You're laughing, too, Jade.
Jade Jade	Oh, do excuse me.
Vil Vil	…What? You're being creepy.
Azul Azul	sigh I would ask you all to remember what you've been doing to force out such troublesome customers until now.
Idia Idia	Not like having to force someone out is exactly a daily occurrence…
Azul Azul	Oh, that's true, isn't it?
Jade Jade	Then let's take a different approach. Imagine a block of flats. Many contracts state that the landlord cannot force out the tenents without a valid reason. In which case…if you want someone gone, you just have to make them leave of their own volition.
Riddle Riddle	You force them to leave of their own volition? As in, by having them sign a different contract with better conditions?
Kalim Kalim	Oh, I get it! We eat yummy food together and talk it out, yeah?
Ruggie Ruggie	sigh Of course this is what the rich kids would think. Do those smirks look like the faces of landlords who would evict troublesome tenents with such polite methods? Obviously they mean something crueller. You make them go through a bad time so horrible they no longer want to be there.
Azul Azul	Ah, wonderful, Ruggie. You're absolutely correct.
Jade Jade	Scary. Dangerous. Horrible. Creepy… Should humans feel such emotions about someone or something, they tend to keep their distance. Magicam Monsters should be no exception to this. Take this as an example. To be very clear, this is a hypothetical. Nothing more, nothing less. Say that at our Night Raven College, we didn't have a cute little Monster like Grim, or charming ghosts like the Ramshackle Ghosts... But in reality, we had terribly frightful ghosts, instead. Could the Magicam Monsters remain so obsessed with this idea of "Magicammability"?
Vil Vil	True. Should such ghosts hypothetically exist, I would want to leave the school as soon as I could.
Jade Jade	Naturally, such frightful ghosts do not exist at our fun, safe Night Raven College. However…there may be those that misunderstand. We are currently going through Halloween Week, after all. It is the season that spooky ghosts wander to the world of the living. And we… …as you can see, are all in the visage of ghosts. We must be so very, very careful that we do not cause any unfortunate misunderstandings.
Jamil Jamil	…You know, now that you mention it, I can see how people might make that mistake.
Leona Leona	chuckle How shameless. I like your style.
Idia Idia	Hee hee. We really do need to take much better care.
Grim Grim	Hmm… I get it!
Deuce Deuce	In other words…
Grim & Deuce Grim & Deuce	…what are we doing?
Ace Ace	Are you serious?! Don't act like you get it if you don't.
Cater Cater	What we're trying to say is that we need to pretend to be scary monsters. We'll scare the Magicam Monsters right out of the school!
Choice 1: Nice idea!		Choice 2: I see…
Cater Cater Ace Ace	Yeah, I think so, too ♪
Vil Vil	The party will be held tomorrow, on the night of the 31st. If we want to put our plan into motion, we have only tonight.
Rook Rook	chuckle A night hunt, you say? Ahh, my arm's already tingling.
Vil Vil	Everyone, do listen closely. "We're doing some ghost practice to make sure tomorrow's Halloween can be as exciting as can be." That is all that we're doing.
Lilia Lilia	Kufufu. I cannot promise I won't hold back during said practice… But that is simply the beauty of youth.
Vil Vil	Right. And this is our own secret practice. Do you understand?
All	Yeah!
step step step
Crowley Crowley	Whew… The discussion between the teachers is only becoming more and more convoluted. We're doing all in our power to even slightly increase the chances of putting on the party... …but at the moment, we have no choice but to wait and see how things are looking tomorrow morning before we come to a final decision.
All	Yes, sir!
Kalim & Azul Kalim & Azul	Understood!
Lilia & Idia Lilia & Idia	We have no problem with that!
Vargas Vargas	…You're all taking this rather well.
Crewel Crewel	Don't tell me…
Cater Cater	Whaaat?! You're so mean, Professor. We're always such honest, good kids, aren't we? ♪
Jade Jade	Everyone is taking the gravity of the situation very seriously.
Vil Vil	All we can do is pray that the Halloween party will be able to commence without issue…
Trein Trein	… Allow me to repeat this. You must wait for our orders. Do ensure you do nothing out of order.
Crewel Crewel	Come on now, Professor Trein. I understand that you're worried for the students. But there's no need to look at them with such suspicion. They may usually be naughty pups, but they're just excited to enjoy Halloween. Of course they wouldn't cause problems the day before Halloween! Let us teachers go out in force today to assist with dealing with the guests. If we do, then the puppies… …will surely be able to relax their minds…and their schedules. Right? You bad boys.
Jade Jade	chuckle Yes, sir. We appreciate your cooperation.
Cater Cater	Oh, it's almost ten. The visitors will start entering the school soon, so we should get to our stations ♪
Vil Vil	I'm sure you all know what we need to do. Let's bring our precious guests a Halloween they won't ever forget!
Yeah!
