((PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS BACKDATED TO HAVE HAPPENED ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2021!))
At approximately 9:00 PM, things at the Halloween Haunted House set up in the Courtyard of Luxe Academy began to go haywire. The attraction is split into three distinct and separate houses. When strange things began happening- lights flickering, sound and fog machines glitching- students currently making their way through Slashers, Thrashers, and Head Smashers or Medical Malpractice were ushered out of their respective houses by House attendants (outside employees hired by Luxe to put on the production). Those making their way through Into the Dollhouse, however, faced a far different scenario. Lights flickers and machines glitched, though no one came to usher the group out. Instead, the slamming of doors could be heard throughout the constructed warehouse, automatic locks clicking instantly into place, barring anyone in the house from exiting. The group was given a window of 60 seconds to realize what had happened, before the lights went out completely. Suddenly, hands from seemingly everywhere and nowhere simultaneously shot from the dark, dragging each member of the group in separate directions. Lead through the houses in separate directions, though walking far further than it seemed possible, given the size of the constructed houses, and most assuredly going down a set of makeshift stairs during part of their journeys, the groups were eventually placed in two separate rooms.
After several disorienting moments, shrouded in darkness, the lights in each respective room flickered to life. Taking stock of those around them, the two groups soon would come to similar and obvious conclusions- one room housed any Elite student present in the house at the time of the glitches, while the other contained any scholarship student there. Other than each other, the only thing not shrouded in billowing black fabric is a large projection screen, standing blank and noiseless. After approximately two minutes of silence, each screen flickered to life, beginning two very different ‘films’.
Elite Students were forced to watch a film entitled ‘BIRTHRIGHT’. The ‘film’ featured digitally recorded footage of nearly every student on campus, at various points throughout their days, and in various locations. While much of the footage was obviously filmed in public areas (the courtyard, the dining hall, the gym), some clips featured more intimate and private areas (locker rooms, empty suites in the respective Dominant and Switch/submissive housing). While the film’s intro and the first minute or so of footage was backed by bright, cheerful music, the melody soon took an evil turn, slowing, deepening, and leaving all who were watching with a deep sense of dread. More footage rolled, though this time it featured highlights of specific students- Scholarship students. During their time on screen, each of their faces was edited to melt. Voiceovers played in the background, chanting, “Luxe Academy was erected as a home for the most elite, the most prestigious, the most worthy members of society. Now, the doors have been opened, halls filled with those who have no right to be here! And you, those fate has chosen to protect these sacred halls, have stood by and watched as our beacon has been forced to dim her light in shame. Act now, prove yourselves, prove your loyalty to your lineages. Prove that you are worthy to walk the halls of Luxe Academy!”.
Scholarship Students were forced to watch a film entitled ‘TRESPASSERS’. The film, beyond the title, was exactly the same as that viewed by the Elite students. However, the voice over was different. During their ‘film’, the Scholarship studets heard, “Trespassers. Outcasts. Intruders, be warned. Your presence at Luxe Academy will no longer be tolerated. You have overstayed your welcome in a world in which you do not belong, and the time has come for you to relinquish what was never yours! Heed our warning, and retreat while you can. Leave this place now, before it’s too late!”
Following the completion of their film, the ELITE STUDENTS ONLY were shrouded once again in darkness, and lead back to the entrance of the Into the Dollhouse haunt, seemingly free to go.
