Brand had a ferret clawing at his pants, and a cat climbing him. He looked down at his clothing, felt his earth shattering and his beautiful appearance crumbling, and looked back up.
He smiled, and said cheerfully: "If the both of you do not get off of me right away~ I will turn all of your clothes into spiders."
He looked serious guys. Don't do it. His skin crawled, as the cat licked his neck. It felt like sandpaper, and he was going to have to wash for days now. "In fact, how about you get off of me in under ten seconds, and I don't turn all of your clothing into spiders forever?" he cooed, in a sing-song voice.

Alette was busy sitting in a corner texting furiously:

Text to Marcy:
Ghoulie!! Are you in the class?? You should totes come and hang with me!!
Okay, Brand did not seem happy with her climbing, and just as she was about to get down, realizing that he was sober again.. CAT! Keen chittered and scurried to get out of the way of the cheshire not sure if he was planning to eat her or not. She leaped to the ground and ran toward the dormouse chittering louder.
She could have changed back but in the moment she was too worried to think right. Things were not going right for the banshee. This form was supposed to make her less noticeable not more so! To think mere moments ago she was wondering what to do about being alone. Talk about turning things upside down.
Scrambling to the relative safety of the dormouse feet she paused, realizing mouse plus cat was still not good. What to do?

Kenner watched the students squabble with careful curiosity. On the one hand, he was technically responsible for their safety while they were here to learn. On the other, they were very entertaining, far more so than half the crap they aired on pay cable. If he could figure out a way to hook up a handful of hidden cameras around this place, he could probably make a mint branding the footage as some sort of scandalous reality show. Hmmm.
Sadly, most good things faded back to mediocrity sooner or later, and by the time he broke out of his daydream and paid attention to his surroundings again, the students were silently fuming instead of calling each other names. Better get started. He cleared his throat and raised his arms.
"All right, everyone! Listen up." He pulled the large canvas bag at his back out in front of him and peered inside. "We'll be heading through soon, but first I've got a couple of announcements."
"This, as you probably don't know, is Breaking and Entering 102. I've been out of the loop for a while, but I did manage to hear a little something about an infiltration of the teachers' lounge that could have gone... just... so much better." He sighed. "That's why you're a bunch of disgraces." He jabbed a finger at Quark and Deszeld and Pokerus and in several other directions that didn't seem to have students at the ends of them. "Maybe not individually," he said, turning to Keen. "But as a group? You blow. But you don't have to blow unless you choose to! You too can be Masters of Unlocking."
"A long time ago, I taught a couple of you kids how to open a bunch of specialty locks. No time limits, no pressure, just good old fashioned teamwork and puzzle solving. Today, we'll be going back to basics. Through this portal is Candless Manor, a training facility set up by the guys I work for when I'm not here. It's full of locks. Regular old iron locks. You're going to open them. There's something extra inside for you to find if you're really good, but it's not all that important that you do, to be honest. I'm not going to give you any hints or anything, but you should know it when you see it. What's more important is that once you're in, you get back out again. If you don't, you'll be stuck inside... forever."
Kenner paused for dramatic effect, or maybe he just forgot what he was going to say next. Eventually, his brow furrowed and he cleared his throat.
"Kidding. You'll just get spat out into a vat of glitter if you don't make it out by the end of class, which is in..." He looked at his naked wrist, then up at the sky. "...three hours. I've got somewhere I gotta be."
Rattling his mysterious bag once again, he said, "Okay. First thing's first. Come and get some supplies."
Quote:
Inside the bag there are a number of items that might assist your character during this class. Some seem obviously useful, like the flashlight, others might leave you wondering what you signed up for. Each item is only useful in one upcoming room. If you don't choose the item that helps with the room you end up in, don't worry. It just means you might have to roll a few more times.
As unrealistic as it may be, these items are also "bound" to the character who chooses them, so there will be no sharing of items with characters in the same room. Or rather, they can try to share, the items just won't work.
Without further ado...
Quote:
If you are following along with the class and the next day's activities haven't been posted, you may choose any two items you desire.
1: bug repellent 2: industrial strength de-slimer 3: a dim flashlight with a strange blue beam 4: Mr. Delicious brand minipet treats
Please make your final choices clear by bolding them or putting them in a quote. I will be keeping track of what you pick and you won't be allowed to change them later! (But seriously don't worry they're mostly for flavor.)
Quote:
If you just joined the class or missed replying before this prompt went up, ignore the spoiler above. You must roll for your items!
You may roll a handful of d4s in one post and take the first two that aren't repeat rolls, or you may roll many single d4s in individual posts until you get two different items, whichever you prefer.
The items are: 1: bug repellent 2: industrial strength de-slimer 3: a dim flashlight with a strange blue beam 4: Mr. Delicious brand minipet treats
Please make your items clear by bolding them or putting them in a quote. I will be keeping track of what you rolled! Do not erase posts! Have fun!

She certainly was not expecting Carlos to not only shift focus to Keen but actually climb Brand "Eeep! Ah Carlos no! Bad kitty! Thats a student not food! And you shouldn't climb people! Get down now!" she squeeks in surprise then uses her best big sister/minipet owner voice to try and get Carlos down
She saw the forced smile Brand put on and knew that masked look a look of "omg my cloths are ruined!" look a surprisingly common look in high society when such things occured to clothing... just not for Camilla she didn't care if her cloths got dirty or even ruined she DIDN'T however want her cloths turned into spiders especially not in a crowd of creeple she wasn't sure how he'd manage that but wasn't going to take any risks so with that she tried to carefully pull the Cheshire Cat boil off Brand all while standing protectively infront of Keen incase Carlos got any ideas
Carlos launched off of Brand following the Ferret to Camilla. The threat of turning his clothing to spiders did little, Carlos would just use his natural form, if he even put a thought to the threat. But thankfully Brand hardly needed it as the Ferret attempted to escape the cat who followed her right up to Camillia. He landed on Camillia and laughed, realizing where he was.
"Good Marrow." he giggled and nuzzled the ghoul before finally sniffing her and then looking for the ferret at her feet. "I will not eat your friend. Just catch." His tail twitched more as he tried to wiggle past her to catch the ferret. He had eyes only for one thing. He would not eat Camillia's friend just... he must catch.

At the teachers call Sludge turned towards him and paid close attention. He figured that this was some sort of class, the thing that he was supposed to attend in order to make him smarter. It was his most important mission and he intended to complete it successfully.
As he listened to the explanation he soon realized that they were supposed to be 'masters of unlocking'. He was...somewhat familiar with this. He understood the need to be quiet and sneaky, in order to evade notice up until the moment where he jumped out at creeple. It appeared this class would help him with such things.
When instructed to pick items however, Sludge wasn't sure which one to pick. The items made no sense to him what so ever, but one of them smelled really nice.
He picked the Bug repellent and the Mr. Delicious brand minipet treats.
He then started eating the minipet treats.
--------------------
Upon the confirmation as to why she was a disgrace, Pokerus folded her arms and frowned. "Why be sneaky about it when you can rush in and bash down a door? You can't break and enter unless you break something" It was much more fun that way, but she guessed it wouldn't hurt to learn how to unlock a door without breaking it. Although the infiltration part was something she wasn't that good at, being the loud mouthed dragon she was.
With a shrug she grabbed a dim flashlight with a strange blue beam and a industrial strength de-slimer.
His own personal nightmare was over, and he was now student-free. It was a very good feeling. His actual smile was back. "Good, good, wonderful, you're lovely, you're all lovely," he said.
He had been totally lying about the spiders, and banked on the fact only Keen even knew anything about his abilities. Psychonauts, after all, were pretty rare at the academy; they were seldom sent off to Amityville.
Breaking and Entering 101? This was going to be interesting. Brand was used to sleight of hand and tricks, but not to dishonest things like breaking and entering. There typically wasn't a need, amongst the Psychonauts.
"All's well, luvs," Brand said, once the teacher was done talking, and gave his happiest smile to all of his new companions. "Shall we choose our supplies? I think I'll take... the Industrial Strength De-slimer, and ... the flashlight!" he said.
He grabbed hold of the Industrial Strength De-Slimer, clearly still traumatized about the clothing incident. He also took ahold of one of the dim flashlights with the blue beams.

Madeline's investigation of the portal had been interrupted by some noisy students, and she found her attention drawn to them instead, watching as one called "Deszeld" seemed to have instigated a quarrel simply by declaring she was not a disgrace. A large green dragon. A warder, presumably. A bit noisy and boisterous. Her eyes flickered over to the other students as each spoke. Aisha, a ghoul who seemed to like loud music and hoodies. Van, a clumsy yet energetic-looking boil. Hollandaise. Some sort of tree/flower ghoul, and seemed to be friends with Deszald. Doesn't seem to like conflict all too much. She hadn't managed to catch the name of the supposed two instigators, but noted that white-haired horned one and the pink-haired ghoul might be an item? Upupupu, how interesting~
Her gaze shifted to another pair of students as the tension of the former seemed to ease. Brand Ravensdale. An aloof-looking boil (reaper, she presumed) who cared greatly about his presentation. Keen. Some strange ghostly-looking ghoul who seemed to be able to transform into some sort of ferret? How curious. Camilla Forester, a mousy-looking ghoul. Seemed a bit skittish. And some strange blue cat.
After some time, it seemed the professor finally showed up, and Maddie turned her eyes towards him wondering what sort of thoughts he was having (she would have approved at said thought if she could read minds). But instead, it seemed he was going to talk about the nature of the class, and her lips curled into a grin. An infiltration of the teacher's lounge? How very interesting! It was a pity she had missed it. It would have been quite a sight to behold. She was also sad she wasn't here when he had taught about opening specialty locks, and made a mental note to be watching whenever he decided to hold more classes. Yes, he seemed like an interesting professor.
Breaking and entering was fun in itself, but perks? She was already all ears, paws lifted up to her face to hide a delighted grin. After several students had gone up for supplies, Maddie went up herself, needing to put both hands in to grasp the items, as, well, it was rather hard when one could barely move said hand. She ended up pulling out industrial strength de-slimer and Mr. Delicious brand minipet treats, and began munching on said treats, following the example of another student.
Aisha once more lowered her volume (though she hadn't moved very far and still was generally around the crazy arguing weirdos) and listened to the instructions. When it came to choosing items, she picked the De-Slimer and Flashlight with a Blue Beam. Both ended up tucked into her hoodie pocket.
Would they be working together? Cause these people were crazy.

Marcy may or may not have been a little late. Which was sad, considering they were meeting right next to her dormitory. The little ghoul had just been a little distracted...
But she'd arrived in time to hear the teacher call for attention. She was a little distracted for part of the introduction, since a buzzing alerted her to a message, but she caught most of it.
This class sounded fun, like an adventure. As long as she didn't get left behind. But she wouldn't. Surely. Oh, no. She'd be ok! Alette was here somewhere, and the teacher was making sure they had supplies. Which she would go and get, right after...
kuroopu
Text to Alette: Hi! I'm here! Is it the same class? We're going to a Manor!
Marcy hit send and then moved forward to grab two very useful items. She grabbeda dim flashlight with a strange blue beam because she liked blue, and Mr. Delicious brand minipet treats because they sounded nice. Well, and she didn't really think to hard about it at all, the teacher would only offer useful things. Marcy had faith in that.
Then she turned around. Time to find Alette.

In the space of time between the simmering fight and the appearance of the teacher, Hollandaise had already managed to lose herself in her own thoughts. She wondered if portals affected the plants around them. If it bisected a tree, would the tree remain unharmed once the portal closed or would some part of it remember forever that it had been elsewhere? The rest of the students seemed to fade, even those that had recently been so rude. The Elders had said a temper was not a noble trait. Hollandaise never forgot anything though, and Zar and Amarus would be marked as untenatable henceforth.
When the teacher spoke, she startled, but in the way of trees - head slowly swiveling towards him. ah, breaking and entering. "Deszeld," she whispered, "don't you already know how to break and enter? Will this class be useless to you?" Jack knows the dragon had threatened to break in and touch everything Hollandaise owned. Threatened... she had done so. Shaking her head, she moved forward to stare at the supply options. Carefully, she picked up the industrial strength de-slimer and the Mr. Delicious brand minipet treats.
Stepping back, she watched for Des to choose hers and tapped Aisha on the shoulder. "I'm sorry about the heated words back there. I hope we didn't make you too uncomfortable. What are you listening to?" she said placidly, cradling her supplies as though they were children. She pointedly ignored Amarus and Zar.

Deszeld didn't pay much attention to what she grabbed. She didn't even particularly enjoy the color blue. Blue was not a pleasant color, because blue dragons were not pleasant dragons. However, this particular shade of blue matched a flower that sprouted from Holly, and that thought alone was the only reason she took up the dim flashlight with the strange blue beam.
The industrial strength de-slimer was just grabbed at random, and then Deszeld proceeded to immediately loom over Hollandaise.
Aisha glanced up when she was tapped, orange eyes wide but mostly because the dragon ghoul was literally lurking creepily right behind the tree's shoulder.
"Oh umm.. no it's cool. You guys seemed to handle it alright...?" She didn't know because she'd checked out into music land when it got too confusing (and a little too much like bickering scarelings).
"Oh! Umm just some music.." She unlooped the large headphone from her neck, her hood falling back to let her mass of dreads fall. The jingled with beads and baubles and feathers. She tucked a few behind her large gauged ears. "You wanna try it out?"
