XUB Halloween Party ((Open))

Located directly adjacent to the Rec Center is the Student Union building, housing a well-stocked bar and arcade, billiards and an open area with couches and coffee tables.

Haley Crusek wrote:"Annnnd, you look and smell WAY better," Haley giggled, sliding up next to Tosh, stealing the last bite of pizza from his hand with her TK and flinging it into her open mouth.

"Hey! Didn't anyone teach you to never steal food from sharks?" he chuckled.

Emilie wrote:"Well, smell anyways." Emilie teased. "How was where-ever the hell you went to then? You have to tell everyone all the heroic stories when you come back from battle you know."

"We were in Medieval Ireland. I'm not sure exactly when. As for heroic...," he said, flashing a grin, "I passed a warrior trial by fighting dinosaurs."

Colette just smiled up at the grim facade that looked down at her. Even if it was creepy, her date was still behind here, and he certainly felt warmer and softer than she imagined the cold embrace of death might feel.

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say - "Pride will tear us both apart". Well, now, pride's gone out the window 'cross the rooftops, run away. Left me in the vacuum of my heart-"


Basil was definitely warmer than one would expect for a corpse. Moving a bit closer when he dared to, Basil was almost leaning into her now.

"What is happening to me? Crazy, some'll say. Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away."


And now he was definitely leaning on her, his feet no longer carrying the two of them anywhere. He stood motionless for several moments, and then fell to the floor like a ton of bricks, his grasp on Colette giving way as he did.

His mask made a loud cracking noise as he hit the ground in a billow of black.

"Yea. I can't top that." She laughed, though the full nature of the joke would be lost on Tosh.

She gave a casual glance at Death's dropping to the ground, but didn't comment. Can't handle his giggle-water either...

"Did you take a trophy?" She asked Tosh, continuing their conversation.

Haley's wide-eyed grin of appreciation for Tosh's story was cut short by the loud crack made by Death falling. A concerned frown crossed her face. "Shit, is he okay?"

"Basil!" Chase called as he rushed to check on his friend. His first thought was Basil's blood pressure issue.

Colette couldn't have supported Basil even if she had been given a chance to try. She was shocked of course, not understanding what had just occurred. Once she did clue in she managed a shriek not entirely out of place for the holiday.

"Basil! Basil! Are you alright?" She asked, kneeling beside the prone form.

Basil didn't respond to Chase or Colette's prompting, his plastic mask askew on his face.

Chase's checking on Basil would prove to him that it probably was *something* like that, at least physically. Everything was the same this time except for one major difference.

What was a fun and clever trick of the light with his skeleton costume was now ruined, thanks to the fact he was completely visible. Shading and contouring couldn't hide the fact that now he had bones painted right on the top of his skin.

His skin was just as pale as one would expect it to be, with a sallow discoloration to it, though for all they knew he just had a cool complexion like his mother.

Chase throwing back his hood would prove that he was, indeed, visible. The broken mask revealed a crop of a-symmetrically cut jet black hair that was shaved in the back, cut tight on the right, and running down in curls on the left side of his somewhat ruined skull facade which was still obscuring his face.

The telepaths that were focusing on him now would notice something that they had never in his presence before. Something akin to a frequency, or a signal, but one that seemed to be perpetually stuck. Like a broken record skipping or an engine which refused to turn over.

"That's... not normal."

She frowns, making her way over towards Basil. As she walks, her form shifts back to the redhead that some of them might know.

"It feels like he's in a loop."

"That's... not likely to happen on its own."

She kneels down by him.

"... but he is not a robot. How can a mind be in a loop? Will he be okay?" Colette asked, looking very concerned.

"What a shame. Basil wanted to be seen again so badly... and he doesn't even know it."

Basil still isn't moving, and does not respond to Sam getting closer to him, nor does the loop 'stop' as she does. If anything, it's stronger now, like she'd gotten closer to the skipping Victrola. But this of course may have been due to the fact she actually was.

"I don't know. There's a lot of telepaths on campus. Some of them don't have much control."

She reaches out with her mind towards Basil. Those nearby might get the briefest impression of a rustling of feathers. Haley likely gets a clearer look, treated to the image of about a half-dozen crows emerging from Sam's head.

She tries to grasp the moment Basil's trapped in, and trace the feeling to the next expected moment, hoping to find the break.

Samantha couldn't pinpoint a moment in time or memory associated with the problem in question. Rather, it was like he was trying to jump back into action, but couldn't for some reason. His hardware was still working, but his software wasn't loading properly.

"Perhaps he needs some fresh air. Zat mask must be claustrophobic and zere are not many air holes and, and..." Her voice was starting to sound a little panicky as Basil remained motionless for longer and longer. She fumbled with the mask before pulling it off over his head, pulling his hood off in the process.

It wasn't the first time she'd seen him, but he definitely looked a bit more cleaned up this time. He'd cut his his hair in a popular cut for 'fancier lads' with curly hair, and was clean shaven which was something of a plus.

He'd definitely made an attempt to be the 'prettiest prince' like he'd told Trev he would be, but a fat lot of good it did him now.

Basil still didn't respond once his mask was off, but now they could see he was having a minor physical reaction. Every time Sam felt the 'reset' start his eyelids would flutter, revealing his blue eyes for just a moment before shutting them again.

"Just stop... distracting me, please."

She tries to feel for if there's something interrupting the impulse at the moment where it loops.

The issue isn't so much an interruption as it seems to be a broken mechanism in play. Something that in normal circumstances should be happening, but isn't.

Unfortunately the further Sam tries to investigate what is off, she is greeted by the mental image of a large stone wall, blocking her access to go in deeper.In the middle of the wall there is a small rod iron gate, but it seems to be padlocked, barring her easy access.

Sam had never seen Basil in any sort of mental powers class, yet, here was some sort of obvious telepathic influence on display. Whatever was going on here was extremely deliberate.

Haley was a bit startled by the crows, but still moved closer to Sam and the unconscious Basil, ignoring her friend En's reassurances for now.

I wish my telepathy was less shitty so I could help... she thought to herself.

Basil wouldn't wake at Haley's carrrying, no matter how hard she might accidentally jostle him along the way to the infirmary.

Not that she should try with Colette standing right there, of course.

Chase, naturally, accompanied those bound for the infirmary. "So someone did this deliberately?" he asked Sam with a coldness not directed at her. The old him would have found and let the vital fluids out of whoever did it... if the old him had actually had friends anyway.

A woman in a red cloak and white mask stepped to one side, allowing the others to pass before making her way into the party. The vibrant light green hair which protruded from under the hood of the cloak could have been a wig... but with mutants any hair colour was possible.

Trev wandered around the bar looking hopelessly lost. He'd been texting his apparently-unreliable invisible friend for forty-five minutes trying to coordinate picking up his blind date and coming to the party together before he gave up and headed down dressed up as Mario and with an inflatable Yoshi pool toy suspended around his waist.
