IC Prospective (2nd year)

Character: Wednesday Addams
Mun: Bus
Plot specific: N


It's almost Halloween again isn't it? I think I'm going to write home for some traditional Addams decorations this year.

Would anyone like to help me put them up? If I can't go swamp hunting, or into the forest,  then I should at least get to decorate a little. It's my second favorite thing to do out of everything at home.

I'd love to help you! What kind of decorations are we talking about?

[beveryafraid]

Just the usual around my home. Arcomantula webs, floating eyes, fire breathing bats, tombstones. Things like that. I want a few skeletons, but it might be hard to have those sent to me.

If we keep it simple anyway.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Oh.


I'm not sure about the fire-breathing bats.

But family traditions are important! Maybe we can make skeletons on our own?

[beveryafraid]

I could get banshee mats instead. They scream like real banshees when you step on them.


It's tradition to dig up real ones for Halloween, but there are no graveyards here. I guess I can settle for making one.

[hairflyingheartpounding]

That sounds perfect!








Real ones? Really?

[beveryafraid]

Of course. Every year we get to dig up whoever we want from the Addams graveyard. First one to find an unmarked grave gets extra dessert at dinner. It's tradition.


You don't have something like that?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

I can't say we do, no.

[beveryafraid]

So what kind of traditions do you have then?

[hairflyingheartpounding]

Honestly, we don't do much decorating or celebrating for Halloween.

[beveryafraid]

I feel sorry for you then. Halloween is one of the more festive times of year at home. I can't help but find it strange to not go to a family party.

I'd invite you to go to one, if I could go myself. They're a scream.

[strongestoftheturks]

What kind of decorations?

[Because if this kid is going to suggest real skeletons like the other creepy dude Rude is going to put his foot down and tell the professors. He does not want to deal with bleached human bones. Not yet, at any rate.]

[beveryafraid]

They won't allow corpses, I asked last year. So probably just simple things to spell and put up.

Depends on what I can get.

[If she got a skeleton, it would be freshly dug out of the ground okay. She has her hopes on getting one though.]

[strongestoftheturks]

[Damn. Another one.]

What can you get?

[beveryafraid]

Anything. It's just a matter of what's legal here.

If you have anything to contribute you are welcomed to.

[strongestoftheturks]

[Well, as long as it's legal...but then again wizards have a kooky sense of what's legal and what's not.]

I've got nothing.

[He's not the most creative person either.]

[beveryafraid]

What a shame.

Can you do some spellwork for me then? Some of what I want need ... Precautions.

[Aka safety proofing. Might as well get an upperclassmen to do that, even if they'll take most of the fun out.]

[strongestoftheturks]

[And you have one 7th year right here! Rude considers this for a few seconds; it would give him a chance to try out some of the more protective charms. And besides he'd rather not have to hear about how the school was set on fire or something due to some dangerous props. The teachers might even take note of it, give him slightly extra credit.]

Sure. When do you need me?

[beveryafraid]

Two days from now, after dinner. I'm going to find an empty classroom to use.

The library is too easy to start fires in. Try not to wear anything conductive.

[Or an award for bravery for daring to take on some of what she'll end up with. Both would look good when you graduate right?]

[strongestoftheturks]

I'll see you then.

[He'll need it, if he's going to work for the Turks when he graduates. Every wizard company needs its share of shady agents to take out the trash and do the dirty work, after all.]

[mysterytwin]

I guess I can help.

[beveryafraid]

Good. Do you want the toy Ashwinders to hide? Somewhere flammable for the enchanted flames to catch on.

[mysterytwin]

Wait what?

[moveslikejaeger]

oh addams family decorations i hear those are always the best

[brokethecycle]

What kind of decorations are they? I could help, maybe.

omgWednesday!

[its_cor_aline]

I wouldn't mind helping.

We should spell some things to scream or grab at people as they go by. That would be hilarious.

What's your first favorite thing?
