Professor Red wrapped her hands around the stone mug, bringing it close to her face as she breathed in the faint scent of her morning drink. She was pleased to discover that her tea didn't smell as bitter as it did yesterday. Perhaps she was finally getting the hang of it; those mini lessons with Professor Winter were paying off at last.
She carefully placed the heavy mug back down on her desk away from the papers in front of her. Red glanced up at the clock. It was still early morning, and the gloomy pumpkin-sun hadn't risen just yet. She had plenty of time.
10:23 AM: [ GYM CLASS - FIELD OUTSIDE THE GYM ]
PWEEEEEET!
"All right everyone! Stretch time's over!" Professor Red announced, lowering her whistle. "It's a beautiful day today, so that means it's time for laps!" She paused, letting the collective groan from the students rise and settle before continuing, "I want ten laps around the field in your student form, no flying, no natural abilities. You've only got your own two legs. And --" she held her taloned hand up, "You're welcomed to try and cheat, but if I catch you that means you run two extra laps. Got it? GO!"
Red blew her whistle, watching as the students scattered. "And all of you better run the same direction around the field!" She yelled after them.

1:48 PM: [ AMITYVILLE CLASSROOM - FEAR LECTURE ]
"Technically speaking, it is possible to survive in Halloween without needing to eat anything," Professor Red began to explain, "But if you're used to eating, suddenly switching from eating to not eating anything can be tough on your body. Your body has needs too, from eating to sleeping to -" she paused, waving her hands as knowing sniggers from the classroom filled the silence. "I was going to say exercise, but hey whatever rocks your coffin. Use protection charms." Professor Red quipped, waving her hands.
"But to get back on track, everyone needs Fear to survive. While you're in Halloween you absorb it naturally, however eating food can give you a quick boost. An even faster way is to use pumpkin pulls, which are tiny little concentrated bits of Fear."
Red reached into a pouch on her belt, pulling out a pumpkin pill and holding it up to the class to see. "These are more commonly used for medicinal purposes however. I believe some of you are familiar with these. Using one can fill your Fear; the amount of Fear a person can hold varies from person to person."
Professor Red put the pumpkin pill away. "Normally, the stronger the Halloween creature, the more Fear they can hold and tolerate. Now some of you -- looking at you, carnivores -- may be thinking along the lines of, 'Hey I'm made of Fear. That person is made of Fear. Can't I just eat them?'"
As the question sunk in, Professor Red placed her hands on her hips and leveled a glare at the class. "Short answer: don't. Long answer: the amount of Fear in a person from Halloween is many, many, many times higher and more concentrated then a pumpkin pill. Eating someone can and will cause you to explode into many, many pieces. Even eating a piece of someone can very likely cause your stomach to explode in a very messy manner."
The teacher sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Great, now I'm talking about cannibalism. I'm pretty sure some other teacher's going to have my hide for taking their lecture topic, but the main take away points for you guys is that eating someone is a huge social taboo in Halloween society. While there are some clans that partake in it, it's usually a highly ritualized thing that I'm not the best person to ask about. For now, if you guys are curious about it I'm going to straight up tell you that doing so will result in a very painful, and a very long recovery after being dissipated from cannibalism. All you're getting from me is a quick don't do it I told you so and I never endorsed this."
"And in better news," Professor Red continued, "It looks like we've got less than 10 minutes left. Anyone have any questions?"

3:15 PM: [ AMITYVILLE CAMPUS ]
With a hiss and a pop, Professor Red cracked open her can of spoopy soda and drank from it. She grimaced, then forced the rest of it down. She really, really needed to stop taking her chances with the "mystery flavor" option.
The professor tossed her can into the recycle bin and began to wander campus, playing the role of hall monitor.
5:42 PM: [ ??? ]
