[Cierra, sans mask, is near the front of the hall where the candles would usually be levitating Jack 'o Lanterns up to provide some light. Some of these are her own creation, others are extra credit projects done by the students.]

[She's offered to let the students levitate their own pumpkins as a sort of final test in their spell casting.]

[Kid had managed to finish 4 Jack 'o Lanterns in the time allotted. It was mildly disappointing that he couldn't finish 8, but at least 4 was half of eight and an even number! He could have done more, but if he started another, he might have ended up with 5 and that wasn't acceptable.

The jack 'o lanterns had quite the terrifying design on them, which was part of the reason he struggled to finish. Each of the four pumpkins glowed with a sinister and flickering:

They were quite a sight to see, rising up into the Great Hall.]

[carminewitch]

[Three years teaching this guy and he still surprises her.]

That's, ah...a rather creative design, Kiddo. I think you deserve a full eight points on this.

[kid8dik]

[That is a PERFECT number of points to get!]

Thank you, Professor~! I found it rather apt for Halloween.

[carminewitch]

I...see.

[Not sure whether to feel sad or worried that Kid has such specific fears.]

[kid8dik]

[He was glancing at some of the other pumpkins now.]

...Those aren't particularly frightening.

[carminewitch]

You don't think so?

[The grinning faces and skulls don't exactly strike her as "pleasant" but.]

Perhaps I can try to make them scarier?

[kid8dik]

[What, NO. They were...symmetrical skulls and sinister faces. His own Jack 'o Lanterns were horrifying to behold, there was more than enough.]

Ah, that isn't necessary Professor Cierra!

[carminewitch]

Oh! If you say so!

[...She is an adult, why is she taking orders from a teenager.]

[kid8dik]

[Don't ask questions. '^'

He noticed the other pumpkins were floating haphazardly around, much to his dismay.]

Professor! I believe the pumpkins should be arranged in a more grid-like pattern!
