Draculaura's Story/Dialogues

At the end of the school day, you leave campus alongside Draculaura as she buzzes with excitement. Out in the parking lot, you see Autumn and the other Monster High ghouls waiting.
Draculaura: Eee!
Frankie: Hey, Draculaura! You look like a bat on cloud nine!
Draculaura: I can't help it! I just finished my first day of normie school!
MC: She's been like this all day now!
Draculaura: I just love experiencing every part of normie culture! I even corrected the teacher about 19th century European history...
Cleo: That's because you were alive back then! I could be a teacher's pet too, if it were a class on ancient Egypt!
Draculaura: Oh! And in gym class, I scored the winning point in a basketball game!
Autumn: Technically, I don't think you're allowed to hang upside down from the basket!
MC: In any case, it was a great day! We should totally do something to celebrate!
Cleo: I like the sound of that! But why not stay up late and celebrate all night?
Draculaura: Which is not that uncommon when you're nocturnal... but still!
Autumn: Are you talking about a sleepover?
Clawdeen: Well, not exactly... at Monster High, we do things a little differently!
Draculaura: We have creepovers!
MC: A creepover, huh?
Draculaura: Exactly! It'll be a chance for us to show you how we boo at Monster High!
MC: A creepover it is, then! We can do it at my place!
Clawdeen: We'll see you there tonight!
Later that night, you hear a knock at your door...
MC: Hey, ghouls!
Cleo: Hey, MC! Are you ready for a creepover, Monster High style?
MC: Let's do it!
Draculaura: First things first. What's a creepover without snacks?
You watch as the ghouls begin placing baking ingredients on the counter...
MC: Wait a second... what are those?
You and Autumn stare wide-eyed at the strange ingredients the Monster High girls place on your kitchen counter...
MC: Is that dirt? And... worms?
Frankie: Uh, yeah! For the Graveyard Brownies! Duh!
Draculaura: Don't tell me normie sleepovers don't have Graveyard Brownies! They're a creepover staple!
MC: Uh... can't say I've ever had them. They sound... unique.
Clawdeen: Why don't you and Autumn give them a taste, MC?
Cleo: Yeah! They're a Monster High delicacy, after all...
MC: Oh... sure! When in Rome, right?
You and Autumn eye the ingredients cautiously, each grabbing a spoonful... and take a big bite!
Autumn: Oh!
Autumn: The 'dirt' is made from cookie crumbs!
MC: And this jar is full of gummy worms!
Draculaura: Haha, of course! We would never eat actual dirt and worms!
Cleo: Although... we do have one troll of a gym teacher who would...
Clawdeen: But these dirt and worms are just candy toppings for our brownies!
MC: Hmm... that actually sounds delicious!
Draculaura: Then let's get this party started!
Draculaura plugs her smartphone into a stereo speaker, and a catchy pop tune thumps out!
MC: Who is this?
Cleo: You don't know? This is Casta Fierce's new single!
Frankie: She's all the rage in the monster world!
Soon, the kitchen is full of music, laughter, and the smell of baking chocolate as the six of you prepare the brownies!
You top the finished treats with the cookie crumbs and gummy worms... and take a bite!
MC: These brownies are to die for!
Draculaura: Really something you can sink your fangs into, huh?
After having your fill of Graveyard Brownies, Draculaura calls for everyone's attention.
Draculaura: All right! I think it's time for another creepover tradition...
Clawdeen: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Draculaura: Yup! Time for makeovers!
if MC is Male then
   Clawdeen: Makeovers!
   MC: So... do guys get makeovers at creepovers too?
   Frankie: Of course! Don't worry. We don't want to change your signature look... we just want to monsterfy it!
   MC: All right. I'm game!
if MC is Female then
   MC: Makeovers, huh? Is there gonna be some monstrous twist on them?
   Draculaura: Do you even have to ask?
   MC: I guess not... sounds like fun!
Draculaura: Good... because you're going first!
Clawdeen: The only question is... which one of us do you want to give you your makeover?
Choice
What do you say? 
   Draculaura! 
   Frankie! 
   Clawdeen! 
   Cleo!
if "Draculaura!" then
   Draculaura: Ooh, ooh! MC picked me! This is gonna be so good!
   Draculaura dabs at your cheeks with a soft, powdered brush.
   Draculaura: This will give your skin that otherworldly, vampiric tone! You'll be the un-life of the party!
   MC: Is it going to make my skin sparkle in the sun?
   Draculaura: ...not that kind of vampire.
if "Frankie!" then
   Frankie: I've got just the thing!
   Frankie pulls a spray can of temporary hair dye from her bag.
   She pores over your hair, concentrating as she combs and sprays, until...
   Frankie: Voila! A voltageous white streak in your hair!
   MC: Hey! That looks pretty cool!
   Frankie: Oh! And how about we accessorize with some electrified bolts in your neck, like mine?
   MC: Umm... how about we save that for next time?
if "Clawdeen!" then
   Clawdeen: If there's one thing I know, it's the importance of well manicured claws!
   You sit back and relax as Clawdeen pampers your hands, filing your nails as you talk and joke.
   MC: Ahh... this is the life! Thanks, Clawdeen!
   Clawdeen: I got you, MC! When you run with a pack, we look out for each other!
if "Cleo!" then
   Cleo: Well, I was the obvious choice.
   Cleo: Now, if there's one thing that royalty knows how to do, it's accessorize!
   Cleo opens an ornate, glittering case... revealing a small trove of ancient golden jewelry!
   MC: Whoa!
   Cleo: For you, I'm thinking this amulet from 1300 B.C.? Retro is so in right now.
   MC: I won't argue with that!
Time flies as the ghouls take turns giving makeovers to you, Autumn, and each other!
Draculaura: Wow, everyone looks awesome!
MC: Okay, we absolutely have to capture this moment.
Autumn: Let's take some pictures!
MC: Pictures sound like a great idea!
You put an arm around Draculaura, pull out your phone, and snap a selfie of the two of you.
Draculaura: Oh!
Autumn: We should get a group picture! Everyone, squeeze in!
Clawdeen: Be sure to get us from a good angle! The trick is to have the camera high up!
Draculaura: Oh! I know! Here, let me take the picture!
Draculaura takes out her phone... then leaps up to the ceiling with stunning agility, where she flips and hangs upside down like a bat!
Draculaura: Is this high enough?
Cleo: Seriously. Vampires can be such show-offs.
MC: Wait! Draculaura, you should join us! We can easily use a camera timer!
Suddenly, Draculaura's smile wavers...
Draculaura: Oh, I... um... I can't...
As you, Autumn, and the Monster High girls get ready for a group picture, you try to convince Draculaura to come down from the ceiling...
MC: Draculaura, what do you mean you can't join our group picture?
Draculaura: Well... did you notice how our selfie turned out?
MC: I haven't checked, but...
You check the last picture on your phone, a selfie of you with your arm around... Draculaura's empty, floating outfit!
Draculaura: I have a habit of... not showing up on film...
MC: I'm sorry, Draculaura! I didn't realize!
Draculaura: Oh, it's no big deal! I don't mind being the designated photographer!
Draculaura: Really...
You notice Draculaura trying to keep composed, but she falters for just a moment, letting a hint of sadness peek through...
Clawdeen: You've always been a bit camera shy, but I know a bigger issue when I smell one...
MC: No need to hide up there. If there's something wrong, you can tell us...
Draculaura drops down from the ceiling with a graceful flip, landing on her feet.
Draculaura: It's just that... I was so excited to finally be a part of normie culture.
Draculaura: But taking pictures... it reminded me of the ways in which I'll never be like you or Autumn...
Draculaura: I can't help but feel like I'm missing out. Like I'll always be the odd monster out.
Frankie: I feel that way all the time! I'm so much younger and inexperienced than everyone... and also born in a lab!
Cleo: Sometimes I wonder if being so one-of-a-kind makes me an outcast somehow...
Cleo: Then I realize that's ridiculous! I'm a rare, exquisite treasure. And so are you, Draculaura!
MC: See? We don't all have to be the same. Being unique is all right.
MC: In fact, 'unique' is beautiful!
Autumn walks over and places a hand on Draculaura's shoulder...
Autumn: Plus, there are plenty of unique things I admire about you!
Draculaura: Really?
Autumn: I could never hang upside down from a ceiling or basketball hoop... or tell a history teacher what life was really like 1600 years ago!
MC: You're so beautifully unique, Draculaura... you don't have to be like normies. Just be yourself!
Draculaura: Aww...
Draculaura leaps over to you, wrapping her arms around you with a huge hug!
Draculaura: You are all the beast friends a ghoul could have!
Draculaura: I'm a little more comfortable in my own skin... but I still wish we could capture this moment together!
Autumn: You know what? I think I may have a solution to our problem!
Draculaura: Really?
Autumn: Yeah! Everyone, stay right here. I'll be back!
A moment later, Autumn rejoins you and the Monster High girls at the creepover... with a case of art supplies!
Autumn: Cameras may not be able to capture how awesome you are, Draculaura... but I can try my best with paint!
Draculaura: Really? You want to paint me?
Autumn: Of course! I'll paint a group portrait!
MC: That's a great idea!
Draculaura: I love it! But only if you promise paint yourself into the portrait too, Autumn!
Autumn: Heheh, I think I can manage that!
Autumn sits down at her easel and begins to work diligently with her paint as the rest of you pose together!
Soon, she turns her canvas around to show you... a vivid painting of you and your friends smiling together, highlighted in a vibrant array of colors!
MC: Wow!
Frankie: It's fangtastic!
Draculaura: Oh my ghoul... it's been so long since I've seen an image of myself!
Draculaura: Not only that, I'm pictured alongside my friends!
MC: Well? What do you think?
Draculaura: We all look so unique... and unique is beautiful!
Suddenly... the lights flicker, and a warm, otherworldly breeze surges through the room!
MC: W... what's happening?
The supernatural wind swirls around you, rattling objects all throughout the room!
Clawdeen: Look! Something freaky's going on with Clara's diary!
You look over at the old book on the table! A gust of air flings the cover open!
Draculaura: C... Clara? Is that you?
The wind flutters the pages of the book rapidly, until they finally stop on a certain set of pages!
MC: What is she trying to tell us?
At your creepover, a ghostly presence fills the room as the pages of Clara's enchanted diary flatten open to display a page filled not with writing... but with a drawing!
Frankie: Hey! It's a sketch! It must be of Clara and Cyrus themselves!
The faded ink on the page shows a skillful rendering of a young normie woman sheltered in the arms of tall, bandaged mummy.
Draculaura: Two people, so different, coming together... it's just like the group picture we made tonight!
MC: That must be what got the attention of Clara's spirit just now!
Cleo: And the magic's not over yet! Look at that page in the back of the book!
You flip to one of the later pages... which has begun to glow with a brilliant mystical light!
MC: Whoa!
(pages + 1)
if pages = 5 then
   Frankie: We finally got it! The last page of the diary! Quick, what does it say?
   The beautiful, golden calligraphy of Clara's phantom hand inscribes its last word. You read the page aloud...
   MC: 'I went to the meadow, just as Cyrus had asked. He was standing there in the middle. He seemed to have been waiting for quite some time. His face lit up when he saw me.'
   MC: 'He stepped toward me, but I told him to stay back. At first, he laughed, thinking I was joking. But then he saw my face, and he grew pale.'
   Clawdeen: Oh no...
   MC: 'I had rehearsed the words over and over in my head, but it was so much harder to say them aloud.'
   MC: 'I told him I didn't want to see him. Not now, not ever. I told him he had ruined my life. He didn't understand. He said he thought I loved him...'
   MC: 'I told him he thought wrong.'
   Draculaura: Clara, no! Drive a stake through my heart, why don't you?
   MC: 'Between his bandages, I saw the tears welling in his eyes. It took every ounce of strength to keep from crying myself.'
   MC: 'He turned away to hide his tears. He looked back at me once more. If he'd held my gaze a moment longer, I wouldn't have been able to bear it...'
   MC: 'But then he fled into the forest. The second he disappeared, I broke down sobbing. Cyrus was gone. But I had saved him from my father. I said what I had to say to save him.'
   MC: 'I will carry this heartbreak for the rest of my life. But at least Cyrus will be safe. He will move on, and forget me, and be happy.'
   MC: 'He WILL be happy... won't he, Diary?'
   MC: ...that's it. That's Clara's last entry.
   Cleo: No wonder Clara and Cyrus's spirits are heartbroken! Cyrus thinks the love of his life never cared for him... and Clara feels guilty for breaking Cyrus's heart!
   Draculaura: But if Cyrus knew Clara always loved him, he wouldn't be so sad!
   Frankie: That's it! Draculaura is right! We just have to show Cyrus the truth! That's the only way we can lift the heartbreak curse!
   MC: But Cyrus is back at your school. Does that mean--
   Frankie: That's right, MC. You're coming with us to Monster High!
   Congratulations! You admitted all the ghouls of Monster High, and together you completed Clara's diary! Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion of this spooky mystery, which you'll unlock for free!
if pages = 4 then
   You hear a young woman's whispers carrying in the air as you read from the diary...
   MC: 'Dear Diary... Cyrus came to my window last night! I don't know how he snuck by the sheriff's deputies! I was so surprised, I nearly alerted them myself with my yelp!'
   MC: 'Cyrus took my hands in his and looked into my eyes. He said he wasn't afraid of my father or any normie.'
   MC: 'He said he loved me, as he's said a thousand times, and he knew I loved him too. And he wasn't about to let prejudice stand in the way of that.'
   Clawdeen: Whoa! Cyrus was so brave!
   Cleo: That's my kind of monster.
   MC: 'He asked me to meet him the next day for another picnic on the meadow... the same meadow where Miss Barbara first saw us together.'
   MC: 'He hugged me, and the floorboards creaked under him. The deputies downstairs shouted, and we heard them run up the steps.'
   Frankie: Oh no! They're going to find Cyrus!
   MC: 'But he had already fled by the time they burst into my room. All that moved were my curtains in the breeze of my open window. It was too close a call.'
   MC: 'That night, as I lay awake, I resolved to meet Cyrus at the meadow as he asked... and I decided exactly what I had to say to him...'
   Draculaura: You can't stop there, MC! Keep going!
   MC: I can't. The last page is still missing.
   Frankie: Then we have to find it! Only one more page until we find out how to help Clara and Cyrus's spirits and save the couples at our schools!

if pages = 3 then
   Clara's golden handwriting cools on the silver page, and you start to read aloud...
   MC: 'Dear Diary... I had to warn Cyrus. I left two candles burning in my bedroom window. He knew that was the signal to meet at midnight at the old mill...'
   MC: 'I told him everything... about how we had been seen... how my father had ordered the sheriff to double nightly patrols, and triple them at our house...'
   MC: 'And then I told him we couldn't see each other again. For a long moment, he said nothing, but I could see the fear in his eyes.'
   MC: 'Not just the fear of what would happen if we were caught again... but the fear of losing me forever.'
   Draculaura: This is... sniff... the saddest story I've ever heard...
   MC: 'I told him I cared about him too much to put him at risk. He asked me if this was what I really wanted. And I said yes.'
   MC: 'He kissed my cheek, and then he was gone into the night. I wept there for an hour. I thought it was the last time I would see him...'
   MC: '...until I heard the knock on my window the next night!'
   Clawdeen: ...wait, that's the end of the page? We have to find out what happened next!
   Frankie: There are still two more pages to find! But we're one step closer to solving the mystery and saving romance at both our schools!

if pages = 1 or 2
   Your finger traces the glowing golden letters as you read...
   MC: 'Dear Diary... it happened. Father found out about Cyrus. He knows my boyfriend is a monster.'
   MC: 'Miss Barbara saw us picnicking in the meadow and told the entire town.'
   MC: 'Father's face burned red, and he could hardly speak. But he managed to tell me this...'
   MC: '...if Cyrus dared visit me again, it would be the last thing he ever did.'
   Draculaura: Oh no! They were caught!
   Clawdeen: And Papa Mayor is not happy. It's so unfair! Why can't he just be happy for Clara and Cyrus?
   Cleo: Speaking as the daughter of a great ruler, I know what it's like to have... expectations for who I date.
   Frankie: I think we're starting to see how Clara and Cyrus's spirits ended up heartbroken. I wonder what happened next...
   MC: We have to find out if we want to save romance at our schools. We still have three more pages to find!
