*Mokey appears in full costume, red hair and all.
(Mokey's dressed in a brownish top dress which leaves her shoulderline and upper arms bare, a pair of brown evening gloves, light white silk leggings, and brownish high-heeled shoes. There are a few knotted branches around her forehead and wrists, and big maple leaves glued to the front chest area of the dress. She also has her bright red radish pendant hanging around her neck, and a bit of dark red eyeshadow.)
Hello, and welcome to the Halloween Scavenger Hunt here at the MC Dorms.
And now, my tale.
As you know, once upon a time.
By the way, this tale is told in rhyme.
Thirteen skulls all in hand,
did hold all the treasure in the land.
And every year, on All Hallow's Eve.
The King of Counting would leave.
And hide the skulls throughout his lair.
Would ask all subjects nimble and fair.
To seek the skulls quick and bright.
Before the final stroke of mid-night.
And so, as the legend is oft to have told.
Whosoever found them all would receive their weight in gold.
What's this got to do with you?
Listen close, and I'll give you a clue.
Listen now, for one year as the king hid the skulls out of sight.
He did receive an awful fright.
He found himself in a sleeping sick.
The result of a nasty magic trick.
And now the King of Counting, sleeping sound.
Himself cannot be found.
Yes, the skulls, king, and treasure did away.
All on that grim Halloween day.
But the skulls were scattered all around.
About the dorms and campus grounds.
Up to you, to follow the trails.
And reclaim the treasure in your pails.
Find one skull, one leads to the next.
And free the King of Counting from his hex.
Once all thirteen have been found.
Then rejoicing of all shall be our sound.
Fret not, for to start on your way.
That is the last thing in verse I shall say.
To find skull marked by the number 1.
Journey to the place where you always have fun.
The place where you sing and dogs bark.
The place you shouldn't stay after dark.
Search where children play hand-in-hand.
And castles are dug in the land.
Thus my tale and clue are told.
Now start your quest to find the treasure gold.
