pep rally!!
what's up?
A little mud and pollen isn’t going to stop Peckenpaugh from putting on a good show! The whole school heads down to the pitch today to get pumped up for the match this weekend between Wildgulch and Deeplurk. It’s a muggy day, more like July than early October, and the only sign that it’s really autumn is the way the sun spends the afternoon intermittently hiding behind clouds. There're still piles of cottonwood fluff in corners by the bleachers, but at least the pollen's not so bad today.

volunteer slots!
Trying to nab a flying whintosser of their own, [CHARACTER A] jumps up to grab one and gets properly mauled. Well, or, at least, their fingers get caught in the spinning arms of one and it hurts pretty bad for a little bit.Armani and Laszlo both happen to glance up at the stands at the same time during the relay race. Seated high up, alongside Bub's faithful hound Boni, is Pocket, brandishing the spirit stick (how'd she get that??). She waves at them and blows a kiss. Obviously intended for Armani . Or, no, was that kiss for Laszlo ? Before the matter can be settled, Mr. Youngblood walks by and asks them what the damn hell they're staring at. Ain't they seen a dog before? Pocket is nowhere to be found.
how this works!
CHANT-OFF: Hug Monster vs G.A.S.
cheer volume: It's time for the second spirit contest of the year! Anyone can post to the CHANT-OFF header below, whether Wildgulch or Deeplurk or something else. Just let us know in the comment who your character is rooting for, and we'll give you a roll to tell you how loud your were for your chosen House. The loudest House wins the Spirit Stick until the next pep rally!What’s the Spirit Stick? Once upon a time, the Spirit Stick could be used to temporarily charm things in your house’s colors—perfect for showing off your school spirit at the big game! But the charm got a little busted over the years and for a while there it turned everything into a technical error test cards , high-pitched tone and all. But as two eagle eyed students may have noticed during the pep rally, Pocket's gotten her hands on the spirit stick. Who knows what it's going to do now? HOT TOTS: A HOT POTATO RELAY RACE!
total score: Each House has been given a lumpy plastic potato in their House color. The goal? Tote that tot around the pitch before the rest! While on their knees. And it’s muddy.Without using their hands. Bite it, hold it under your chin, balance it on your nose, whatever keeps it from hitting that mud.Also, it gets hotter the longer someone holds it. This seems safe.Oh, and the audience is trying to slow them down. Just a little bit.
Each racer takes the tot as far as they can around the pitch. As soon as they drop it, touch it with their hands, or fall, they’re out and a new racer has to tag in. Cheerleaders have buckets of “distractions” to give their House members! Squirt guns, ping pong balls, vuvuzelas—there’s a little bit of everything obnoxious in here. Their goal is to throw the racers off their game! To get started: Post a header for yourself below your House. Then, you’re free to comment up to two times on other characters to slow them down. Each racer can only be sabotaged two times. Any more than that and they might as well be going backwards.The winning House for this Pep Rally will get a social event next month. Details to follow!

Re: Deeplurkers: Hawthorne
The still-hot tot stops at the feet of Mr. Berzelius, who might have done something about it if he hadn't been too busy squirting his coworkers in the ear with a squirt gun. It takes about eight whole seconds for the Potions teacher to notice his shoe is fully on fire, and he stumbles over a different Quackenbush laying facedown in the mud as he tries to stamp it out.
