silenced ;
with @msuinsu at the movie | msumausoleum
the entire night has been filled with life and intense energy as everyone celebrated the holiday together. there were both pros and cons to the entire event that the school decided to host and xander was still teetering between whether he really had an entertaining day or not.
there had been the entire mishap with the potion he received and he left poor mabel before he could see the full consequences of having drank it before seeing her. then there was milo who had been upset with his costume choice considering how welly matched the two could have been for the entire event. (it wasn't much a con - more annoyance - just the boy's usual whining in reaction to xander's coldness). but it would be a complete lie to say that he hadn't enjoyed some parts of the even like getting a reaction out of wednesday. even the carriage ride was a enjoyable despite it probably convincing everyone even more about rumors of xander and stephs's erotic relationship.
so although he wasn't exactly participating in watching the movies with everyone on the castle grounds, he was still close enough to see what was happening on screen the movie was being projected on while humoring himself in everyone's ridiculous reactions. there wasn't much that scared the dark wizard, so he found it silly that so many students actually got scared at the things on the screen. however, he had a much bigger plan that would truly evoke fear out of those enjoying the movies and was simply waiting for the right moment.
he's counting down the time until he casts a spell to summon spiders to infiltrate the crowd when he notices somebody getting closer to him. it looks like they've just left the movie. xander hasn't been paying much attention to what's been happening but he wouldn't blame the bloke if he was leaving because the movie was getting unbearable to watch. however, the expression on the male's face doesn't seem to be one of boredom or the same fear that xander's familiar with seeing on other's faces when it comes to scary movies.
it's sparks enough interest in him to question the student walking alone though, so he simply makes his presence known.
"you there. where are you headed to?"
