Homesick On Halloween || Open
One of the perks about short term memory loss? Movies always had rewatch value. The most recent ones anyway and the ones Amberly had never gotten around to seeing. It seemed though, for the moment anyway, the current movie on screen managed to be one of the few the Jacobs girl remembered. It wasn’t as though she had anything against Freddy Krueger and his dream like escapades - but more so that she had watched these movies to death with her band of friends back home in Virginia. Oddly enough it was this movie, slated with blood and cheesy lines that had the Jacobs girl missing home.
With a heavy feeling nestling itself within her chest, Amberly rose from her chair, certain she didn’t need permission to leave the space - what if she needed to use the bathroom? With her trusty journal in hand, sim card-less cell phone nestled comfortably within her sweater pocket, the Jacobs girl caught her breath in the hallway, willing away tears that threatened to break the surface.
It was stupid to cry over a corny horror movie - but there was more to it than that of course. Thankfully the hallway was more or less deserted, with other patients flitting about different events and the resident staff all too busy with their own individual tasks to be wandering the hallways. No tears fell from her golden hues, but there was definitely a readable sense of sorrow plastered across the woman’s pale features, a look she was rapidly attempting to remove, distracting herself with the knowledge she kept laced within the journal that never left her side.
The Devil’s in the Details || Demi & Jared
She was going to be fashionably late - such was the nature of Demetria Rivers, but exactly how late the raven haired tutor was unsure. He had to be there at the crack of eight of course, if only to ensure everything was still in place from the set up earlier that afternoon, who knew what kind of tomfoolery the patients might have gotten into with no one manning the double doors. He’d said hello to his fellow colleagues, even managed to get a few dances out of the way, ensuring that his plan to have a meaningful dance with Demi would be in full effect. There were still a few other ladies he would have to convince but that would come with time.
Compliments came and went, both uttered by the Jones and received by him. There was a reason Halloween was his favourite holiday. It was in the creativity people showed, the way they put their interests on display in such an outward motion that had the tutor beaming, exposing the pinpoint fangs he’d attached to his own snow white canines. He caught a glimpse then of a twinkling flapper dress, it’s owner adorning a feathered headband as her chocolate brown locks rested against her shoulders in tight curls. This costume belonged to a woman Jared had bumped into in the halls once or twice and who had quickly captured his interest on a literary level. Amberly Jacobs was a beautiful mind, it was an utter shame about her condition though. “Ms. Buchanan.” Jared said approvingly, crimsoned sapphires taking in her attention to detail.
The brunette spun at the unfamiliar voice, her own amber hues shimmering in an attempt to get her brain to cooperate for once. “Yeah! I’m sorry, one second…” She trailed, fishing through her hand bag in an effort to find her assigned cell. Once it was within her grasp she flicked through the many faces staring back at her from the other side of the screen until she found his face. “…Jared! I’m not surprised you got it - most people think I’m just a twenty flapper girl.”
“Well I certainly appreciate your effort.” The tutor beamed, giving the girl a knowing nod as he sympathized with her issue. How the Jacobs girl continued to go about her life like the consistent memory wipe was nothing but a minor inconvenience was beyond Jared - but he admired her greatly for her stick-to-it-ivness and ability to keep her head up. “You look lovely.” He added, meaning the compliment only for what it was, a compliment and nothing more.
Still this did not quell the rose coloured hue that shaded itself over Amberly’s cheeks, forcing the girl to lift a hand and place it beneath her chin - hoping the coolness of her digits might relieve some of the heat. “Thank you - you look terrifying - but insanely hot at the same time, I bet your girlfriend loves that costume.” Amberly had no idea whom the Jones was seeing, but she had to assume he had one, how could someone who looked like him not? Not to mention the brilliance he held within those raven black locks.
The tutor smiled bashfully with the compliment toward his looks but found the gesture hiccuping slightly as the brunette mentioned a girlfriend. He hadn’t told anyone he was seeing someone, in fact he’d made certain to keep that fact inherently negative given his current situation. Even if there was a fake girl friend to cover up for the fact he was entirely wrapped up in Demi there would be more questions than it was worth and of course there would be the eventual ‘When can we meet her’ from friends and family alike. No - it was far easier to keep the people believing he was involved with no one, which was the answer he planned to give Amberly.
“Hang on - I need a picture of this too, because we all know I’m not going to remember.” The Jacobs girl joked - cutting off Jared’s explanation. An audible hitch caught in his throat just before he complied, giving the girl his best snarl when sapphire pools caught her - the vision in RED, the woman who so publicly was not his girlfriend though Jared Jones wanted nothing more than to shout her name from the heavens. There were two pictures snapped - thanks to Amberly’s hesitating thumb, one of which caught the tutor’s magnificent menacing glare - but the other had captured his wandering eyes and while the photo didn’t express who the tutor was so smitten with - the words were written all over his face.
“Excuse me, would you Amberly?” Jared asked politely, to wit the brunette Daisy nodded, hoping she hadn’t off put him with her comment about how attractive he looked. She was only being honest. From there Jared allowed his feet to glide over the dance floor, carrying him wistfully toward the woman who had sucked all the air from his lungs and redispensed a cloud of pink heady smoke within him. EVERYTHING about Demi was perfection. From the tips of her horns to the point of her heel, Jared had a million and one things to feast his eye upon - and almost immediately after appreciating the costume for all it’s glory the tutor began to have entirely impure thoughts about tearing it off later that night. True he’d seen the outfitting it’s rawest form from within the confines of the apartment but this was an entirely new level. “Hail Satan.” The tutor chortled, crossing his burly python limbs across his chest as crimsoned ceruleans drank the beauty in. He’d paused with her at the entrance, thankfully that the music would more or less drown out their conversation - but even if someone were to over hear them, he may very well just be complimenting the Rivers girl - he had just done so with Amberly after all.

Dance Fever - The Pumpkin Ball || Open to Female Staff
The Pumpkin Ball. A celebration of grandiose nature especially considering the location was an Institution - but then, schools held extravagant parties like Prom and homecoming and a school was technically an institution - why then was it so unbelievable that Brielle would extend the same courtesy to it’s patients?
It was here Jared Jones stood amidst the crowd, bodies dancing and celebrating halloween night, children, teens and adults all clambered within the same hallowed hall, their everyday clothes replaced by inspired getups and costumes; at least for those who chose to participate that was. The tutor found a smile creeping over his lips, crystal clear sapphire hues observing interactions here and there as he was on chaperone duty - just like all the other staff members. But that didn’t mean they weren’t entitled to a few dances of their own. The raven haired males goal was obvious - he wanted to dance with her, Demetria Rivers, the girl he had been growing ever more infatuated with each passing day - but that only seemed feasible if the duo could make it believable. It was this thought that had Jared hatching one of the only nefarious plans of his entire life. He would ask each and every member of the female staff to dance - to cover his tracks as it were, in an effort to downplay his eventual swirl around the dance floor with his beautiful brunette bombshell. How could the residents of Brielle be abuzz with their bodies interlocking if he’d done it with every woman who held a position of employment? While that fact wasn’t technically true of the Rivers girl she was his teaching assistant ( a fact most everyone in Brielle knew by now ) and as such he was hoping it wouldn’t seem quite so out of place for him to have asked for her hand in a dance.
The Jones himself was decked out for the holiday - Halloween serving as one of his very favourites. Aside from Comic Con what other excuse did a nerd like him have to dress up like some of his most favourite iconic characters? In years previous Jared had taken up the mantle of Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker, Gandalf, Frodo, Marty Mcfly and so many more. This year however the tutor had gone with a slightly more generic approach, having been on a vampire kick as of late thanks to his re-reading of Bram Stokers Dracula, Jared had been inspired to bring said creature to life - in a modern day form of course. Leather jacket bound, with fake blood smeared across his lips that of which also stained the purity of his white t-shirt, the tutor was the epitome of fright…mixed with a dash of seduction but that was simply a vampires nature. As he grinned the pinpoint fangs he’d purchased were readily exposed, simple and elegant as they were the sort in which you needed to mold to your own teeth to give off the illusion they were real - but that was silly, creatures like that didn’t exist in this world. The tutors eyes were obstructed as well, cerulean pools shimmering through crimson backdrops - the whites of his eyes shaded ruby thanks to the contacts he’d come into possession of as well.
With his midnight locks slightly disheveled, a look that had taken far too long in the mirror with styling gel to perfect, Jared approached his next intended victim - hoping she wouldn’t out right refuse his advance and accept his offer to dance, even if it was only for a short time. In order for his plan to go off without a hitch it was ideal that all the female staffers escort him out onto the dance floor at one point or another.
“Excuse me…” He purred, sly smile slipping across his bloodied lips. “Would you like to dance?” It was a harmless enough gesture, but how would she take it - and would she agree? Offering a hand as only a gentleman could, Jared invited his female partner to join him as a fresh song began to play.
