   Just another day...
Hey everyone!! *waves and bows* What's up, give me the good news and give me the bad news and how-dee-do? Hope everyone's day went well...this is Otaku Posting No. Two and KougaijiLover has taught me how to put quiz results and pictures up! ^.^ WHOOO!! She was also kind enough to resize my picture for me 'cause she has editing programs on her computer...my family's still getting photoshop and all that technical stuff. Yay!! Hopefully a scanner will be next because I'd like to put some of my art up too.

I did say that I write, yes? Well here's the start of my 'tribute to Halloween' thing that I usually write annually. Mind you, when I write I see everything anime-style so I use anime terms like sweatdropping, vein popping, ect. ect. Again, I'm HOPING AND PRAYING for a scanner so that I can stick some of my fanart/original pieces up. Since I don’t have a website that I can post my stories up in, I’m stuck using the Otaku account. Hopefully I’ll have one soon but till then I hope people don’t mind…it is an ORIGINAL so ALL characters are copyright to me so PLEASE no stealing…I hate that so much, in fanfic, fanart, and original pieces. And if someone does copy…I shall find you…ask KougaijiLover what happened to the last chick who stole my ideas *laughs wickedly*

A final note is to please bear in mind that the names are NOT all Japanese. Some of them are Scottish and I tried to pick names that I’ll be able to put into Kanji but just a note for the sticklers. Please forgive spelling mistakes, run-ons, and all that jazz with the grammar, both English and Japanese. And the locations are something I have to apologize for too…I’ve never been to Japan (yet) so I don’t know how the cities are, I just call them as I imagine them. Places DO NOT necessarily exist so I take NO responsibility for any inaccurate info that may be spread from this. This’ll be my first manga one day…and a shoujo one most likely. ^^0. Rated PG-15 for lingo, horror elements, and all that jazz.

~ Chapter One: At it Again ~

Part I

“This is UNACCEPTABLE!!”

Principle Iwakami shouted, slamming his fist loudly into the nearest thing (which was a classroom’s door) upon seeing the condition of the corridor. This was the third one that he had seen today. Moriyama High was renowned in the little city of Niigata, Japan for its orderly set up and day-to-day schedule. Iwakami had been the principal there for 18 long years and never ONCE had he seen something so…bawdy done to his school, it was boarding personal insult.

Normally the entire school would be sparkling clean and neat…nothing would be out of place or flawed in any way. Despite keeping it in such conditions was difficult, Iwakami prided himself on the Janitor Crew (even paid them more then he did the teachers) for working so hard. Moriyama was a fairly large school with three stories and sophisticated sports and academics programs. The lawns were kept mowed, the hedges trimmed, and the exterior of the building scrubbed weekly and repainted annually. Littering was penalized with a week’s worth of detentions and higher degrees of vandalism were dealt with according to the amount of damage. The last time punks had dared to destroy school property was 8 years ago. The gang had spray-painted the school’s dumpsters (some students could have sworn that people could eat out of them, they were so clean) with some phony doodles. They had paid for it by spending a month’s worth of detentions scrubbing it all off with toothbrushes. But this was simply BEYOND Iwakami’s wildest dreams.

And he had an idea of just who had done this.

So far, Iwakami had been to the three main corridors of each story and found different horrors for each one. He had seen the floor level when he had came in that morning. The normally sparkling tiles of the wall were covered with the sticky pale orange innards of pumpkins laced with seeds and the floor was covered with the shells of hollowed fruits. And the smell was more then a little appalling…it was enough to make an elephant lay down to die. Iwakami was familiar with every form of prank tools and methods and there were multiple remains stink bombs that had burned all of the previous night. After getting over the shock of the first floor, not daring to look what had been done to the classrooms, the aging principal had ventured up to the second floor and nearly passed out at the site. The culprits had covered the windows with pitch black material, blocking any daylight that would come in and replaced every one of the light-bulbs in the walkway with a black light. Then the walls had been covered with graffiti of typical Halloween trademarks like spiders and cats along with some vulgar and ridiculous poems relating to the horrid American subject. The doodles had been made with various Glow-In-The-Dark glues and gels, causing the cheesy lights to highlight the marks. But nothing could have prepared Iwakami for what had been set up on the third story. The floors were littered with dirt and leaves and there were several phony graves set up around the halls inscribed with horrible limericks like “Here lies the body of my dear kitty Flyer, lived a great life ‘till he slept in the dryer’. On the walls the culprits had painted the words ‘Happy Halloween Mr. Iwakami and Staff’ in large red letters all the way down the hall and from the ceiling draped a wonder. Amid the masses of toilet paper and bogus spider web were dummies of the stricter teachers of the school, including one of himself and Mrs. Hirobe along with a plague of beetles, worms, rodents, even a black cat!!

Iwakami turned on his heel to return to his office. He only ended up stepping in something that he suspected was dog crap that had been painted white. Nearby was a sign made of cardboard that said ‘Ghost Droppings’.

::: When I get a hold of the one responsible::: He thought maliciously, as a large blue vein popped on the back of his shiny, balding head.




Unfortunately people I have to leave you hanging here. It’s 10 at night here and my bedtime’s rapidly approaching. It’s Thursday so I do have school…I’m sorry, hopefully I’ll have the next tidbit up soon and I hope you guys enjoyed it!

Till next time!!
