RANDOM EVENT: Angler Attack!

[lockestheway]

Hello, Fandom!

We're all preparing for the onslaught of parents right now, but right after, on Tuesday, October 4th Fandom's going to be dealing with a whole different kind of onslaught: angle frogs! These big-teethed frogs are anywhere between the size of a dog and the size of a horse, and they will be hiding in (and attacking from) an onset of mist that starts on Tuesday morning.

Angler frogs have anglers (duh) and they're mildly psychic: the glowing tips of their lures - portruding from their heads like that of an anglerfish - can turn into anything their victim might desire. Maybe you'll suddenly spot that book you've wanted for ages, glowing in the fog. Maybe you run into one right as you really crave a drink, and oh look, there's that Dr. Pepper you were thinking about. The bigger the frog, the bigger the item can be, and touching a lure will paralyze you for a second or so - which the frog will attempt to use to bodycheck you.

Or gnaw on your head.

The frogs will get chased off the island along with the fog when the sun goes down, and they can't access the usual safe spaces, such as the dorms. So have fun! Or stay indoors. That's also a good idea.

Fall Break Sign-Ups!

Good afternoon, Fandom! We interrupt your pre-Parents' Weekend plotting to tell you about our Fall Break plans this year. When the days turn shorter (...some places), and the air crisper (...some places), our thoughts turn to leaves changing colors, drinking as many pumpkin spice lattes as humanly possible, dressing like Han Solo (with boots, leggings, and adorable vests), and spoooooky ghost stories.

Like the ones from Sleepy Hollow, New York.



Mwahaha.

From Sunday, October 9th through Saturday, October 15th, the students (and teachers, and the teachers' guests) are invited to explore Sleepy Hollow for the week. There will be cemetery tours! Haunted hay rides! A delightful mile and a half walk from Sleepy Hollow to the Castle Hotel in Tarrytown, where we're sure nothing creepy will ride along on horseback in the evenings!

Sign ups are open until Thursday, October 6th.
