[solo cyoa] human studies: superstitions (wrex)

[medigel]

Jack help him, this was actually becoming a fun night. He'd thought it'd be dull in comparison to the festivities back home, but in all honesty the tasks and games had been keeping him from thinking about his homesickness for once. Wrex wondered if that was a bit of betrayal on his part; this school would never be home, he had to be sure. Just one more conquered territory, right?

Still, he could have fun while doing it, right? And he heard there was another opportunity to get some spooktacular entertainment.

Ever since the time DETH had called them in to help humans out, the boil had grown more curious about how exactly the soft fleshy things had lived. Maybe it was a dangerous curiosity--certainly his clan wouldn't have encouraged curiosity when they could just scare the living daylights out of one or two (if not eat one or two). But, well, they weren't policing him here, so...Remembering his manners (silly things, to be honest, but he was learning quick that snarling at everything didn't fly here), Wrex made his way to Professor Winter's class to try and get in that little lucky group.

He hadn't expected so much paperwork, though. Grumbling to himself, he chicken scratched his signature on whatever was necessary, impatient and ready to go sniff out and scare some humans already. Blah blah passports blah blah don't hurt anything blah blah mostly observe blah blah glamours blah blah. Let him get to the fun already!

His tail twitched with anticipation as he landed on the street, blinking as he got used to the sights and smells. He could wander about outside, or...

He eyed some of the homes with an evil and toothy grin. Sure he couldn't cause any actual property damage, but Wrex was sure there were still great ways to prank these unsuspecting little humans.

3: A regular black cat meows at you from a window sill.

Now picking the right house, that was the sort of problem he had. All of them basically looked the same: simple, maybe decently constructed, probably could house a few of the small things. When the nearest door opened, he took a peak in.

There was a creature there, something like a minipet but...a lot less scary. Wrex gave it a beady stare until it meowed at him. Wait a second, hadn't the ghoul said this stuff would make him invisible? What gives?!

He quickly backed away just in case the charm was really that faulty.

5: It's really quiet in this house all of a sudden. You can hear the floorboards creak under your feet…

This house in particular was kind of quiet...He wasn't sure what to think of it. Were the humans scared? Had someone else taken this house already?

Wrex heard the floorboards creak and snuffed to himself, shuffling out as he took it as a sign that someone indeed had claimed the home already. Lame.

4: It seems people in costume are given free candy! You consider trying to get free candy, but you're a little too scared of getting in trouble to do it. Or perhaps you're just too lazy.

Another home down the road looked more lively, so he decided to investigate. Wrex couldn't help but notice how hard it was to navigate with all these scarelings and their parents about. He longed to take the glamour off and show them his actual form, but something distracted him.

Namely, candy.

So even humans understood the importance of trick or treating then! But was he allowed to take any? It wasn't exactly observing, and if he was invisible it'd probably raise some questions...But it'd be a great fright! Ugh. He backed off and cursed.

1: Some humans are putting out jack-o-lanterns both in and outside of their homes! They all seem to have candles in them.

Oh look, they even participated with the jack-o-lanterns portion as well! Wrex couldn't help but investigate some of them, intrigued by how detailed the carvings could get. now he felt his hadn't been a masterpiece after all...What would the clan say? Being beaten by mere humans??

Granted, pumpkin carving wasn't high on the list of things to impress Daggerbacks, but still!

He was just getting ready to blow a candle out to scare someone when it came time to return. Sighing, he reluctantly popped back to Halloween, ready to report his findings.
