Post subject:  Halloween 2014

Posters for this year's Halloween Dance would appear around the school. The usual snacks and dancing will be taking place in the Great Hall on 10/29. In addition, there will be a costume contest and a pumpkin carving contest judged that night(see details below). You may use this thread to post your character's entries into these contests, though remember that costumes will not be judged unless your character shows up to model them!


Costume Contest

Prizes:
1st - 15 house points, coupon for two free Terrortours(you and a friend)
2nd - 10 house points
3rd - 5 house points

Voting for the costume contest will take place at the dance. All students wishing to enter should come in costume and post a RP description of their costume here. A reference picture of what it looks like may be linked, but should not take the place of the RP description. Remember that there are body tailors located in the AFK room shop, and clothing tailors located in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade.


Pumpkin Carving Contest

Prizes:
1st - 15 house points, basket of assorted Honeydukes sweets
2nd - 10 house points
3rd - 5 house points

Voting for the pumpkin carving contest will take place at the dance. All students wishing to enter should RP carving a pumpkin down by Hagrid's(which means actually walking down there and RPing it, I know, so hard), and then post their pumpkin here before the dance begins. To post your pumpkin, use this flash game(hint: right-click and zoom in a few levels to do details, then zoom back out), click "Done >>" when you're done, and then take a screenshot and upload it, posting it in this thread. A written RP description is optional. Pumpkins may not be enchanted, painted, or otherwise adorned in any manner.

Aerol finally finished getting the last pieces of his costume, nodding to himself, smiling, and making his way down to the pumpkin patch to make his own pumpkin, huffing as he recalls Shaant trying to encourage him to do so. "I just know this is going to go horribly." He proceeds to go about carving along it carefully, trying to get the curls just right...and mildly succeeding, in the most amateurish way possible.

"Eh, good enough." Aerol nods at his work and goes to get his outfit ready for tomorrow.


The next few hours Aerol was busy running around shopping Diagon alley gathering up the material's he'd need, then...came the fun part. Aerol utilizing his strength of magic, began to weave things together, while the potion to change his skin lobster red, was boiling and stewing. As he used a sewing charm for his costume, constructing the old santa suit being converted into his needs, as well as mending the shiny latex boots, he then turned to the facial hair, placing his wand to his chin, he then conjured up the Hair growing spell, and curled it outward just slightly at the tip, nodding with a grin, he went about checking the potion, and the charm he had going on with the self-sewing needle, he nodded once more and moved towards the hot pink fringe for the waist and collar, he moved his wand about as the outfit began finishing, and had the self-sewing needle attach it seamlessly as best as he could manipulate.

After an hour and a half of this, Aerol then began to read one of the advanced transfiguration guides for his NEWT class, and searched to see if he could find a way to make Lobster claws for his hands, so it would look real...maybe, just maybe he could find a way to make it work. He looked up afterward, and saw the pink frill along its collar swirling around creating a halo-like depiction for the head of the wearer, as well as accentuating the hips, expanding them outward to have a more feminine figure, by disguising them to be more hourglass. He adjusts the santa-belt, smiling, as he then taps his chin, and then casting a small engorgio charm on it, to make it grow larger, and then tightening it more to make it the appropriate size.

Aerol grinned at his handy work, and then began to go back to check on the boots, to make sure they reach his mid to high thigh, adjusting them as he goes to stand, to adjust to the heels, he stumbles a bit at first, trying to adjust to it, and then nodding to himself, he then moves on to walk carefully, heel to toe, heel to toe.

This was going to be a grand Halloween. Aerol thought to himself as he grinned looking in the mirror, before releasing a loud high pitched laugh to mimic the one he is dressing as.



Edit: (Picture seen above reference, and to fit the request of Yendy~ :P)

Sorry, I think I wasn't clear about the costume thing. I need a description of the costume itself, like how it's made(did he buy everything from the store? Did he make it himself? Did he decide to knit the tutu and pair it with a dragonskin belt? Is his skin painted or is it just the costume from that picture?). The picture is actually optional to aid in the illustration and avoid misunderstandings, the description is what's actually used. :wink:

EDIT: Your edited description is fine, thanks.

Peran's costume would be the Doofus from their D&D group.
This is the best reference picture I could find.
Peran's armor is comically oversized, and tinted blue so that no one will mistake him for an armored man. None of his skin is visible, and it looks like he genuinely has a lot of trouble moving around in it. The armor looks like it was first store bought, then transfigured and charmed into its hilarious size. He'll also be carrying a fake sword that's clearly way too big for him to be holding.

And here's the link to his pumpkin.

Jade is dressed as Professor Roxy the Gnome. Her outfit is black with sparkly blue sleeves, large purple boots, and a bright blue and purple cape that seems to be a repurposed blanket. She also wears a wide-brimmed purple hat, and carries a guitar with lightning bolt designs on it. She has a quiver full of fake "bolts," but no crossbow.

Jade's pumpkin is located here.

Another pumpkin was submitted anonymously here.

Justa pumpkin, because Shaant's a rebel. However, his pumpkin would look prettier than that... But Kimi sucks so... Tada!

Oh, Shaant's costume looks pretty much like it does IG, but his sword has a chainsaw look to it.

Cray's pumpkin: http://imgur.com/LHzVXdr

Cray is not entering in the costume contest, but for those curious enough about it (which I doubt there are many of you :P), he's wearing a knight's outfit that looks similar to this: http://40.media.tumblr.com/8f6b91f2b2c7787c67b4ae7552973459/tumblr_n2qq243JuL1qzsbzuo1_500.jpg. The armor is very sleek and polished nicely, perhaps handmade but it's hard to tell. He wears a handmade-looking dark cloak with a red dragon on the back, and holds a prop sword that is pretty convincing as a real sword, just much lighter, not sharp what-so-ever, and probably very fragile. Everything else is how you see it IG.

Sam's Costume:
Sam is dressed as Spades Slick. He's wearing a black suit with a black shirt, tie, shoes, and gloves. Over his head he's pulled a black stocking, and he's wearing this painted black mask over it with a black brimmed hat(the hat does not have a feather, contrary to IC). He's carrying a pack of cards labeled "War Chest" and this horse-topped clubbing implement-er, I mean, scepter.

She's not participating in the contest, but the description:

Roo wouldn't be very recognizable tonight. Her costume isn't based on clothing either, but rather her own physical appearance. Her hair is dyed a dark brown rather than it's usual purple. She's used some kind of creme to make her skin color a few shades darker. Applied make up to make her usual freckles freckle-y and seems to be wearing brown contacts as well. The biggest change, however, is that her teeth are completely normal. And by normal I mean teeth like yours and mine. (The hair isn't the correct shade in this, but here's a reference so you can see that there's a difference.
