Who: All heroes
When: Day 45, Morning
Where: The clearing

[ In the morning, all heroes can wake up to see a new trial is being held! Following the door that appears in the clearing will lead to a Very Scary, faux-abandoned house. There are all the markings of terrible Halloween decorations, for those that are familiar with it. There are fake spiderwebs all around, fake bats, skeletons, and even spider skeletons.

There are several different tables spread across the room - one has a pile of small, sticky spiders in it, then there's one where people can get refreshments, if they so wish, and all others have tons and tons of pumpkins sitting there. None of those are carved - though there are several carved, lit pumpkins spread across the room - just sitting on the floor.

Notably there is a runway, and behind that, a room in which people may grab costumes, or pieces of costume. Make up is also provided.

Finn can be seen at the end of the Runway, aptly wearing his Spider-Man costume, before he begins to explain ]


So! I've recently found out I fight crazy people for a, huh, possibly living. Whether I get paid or not is still under debate. And who would have thought, there's a costumed guy for every occasion. There's no better way to drive off the mental image of a guy fighting with a flaming pumpkin on his head than make better memories, so I'm imposing Halloween on you all.

For those of you who are not in the known, what with us being all from different worlds and stuff, Halloween is, huh ... probably an actual serious holiday somewhere, somehow, but in practice it's all about the money, baby! And scary stuff. And sharing scary stories and getting candy.

So there you have it. A game to get some actual fun Halloween action that does not involve people barely avoiding getting brutally murdered and blown up. Not speaking of anyone in particular here.

[malignstar]

And you are?

[voreaciously]

Not one. Obviously.

[what you don't know her a little by now?]

[malignstar]

It's okay to dabble.

[voreaciously]

[ehhhhh]

It is a waste of time, for me.

[malignstar]

[ Spins again ]

Why's that?

[voreaciously]

[She spins elegantly moving with him easily.]

I have better things to do.

[malignstar]

What about your dolls? Those are fun, right?

[voreaciously]

Those are for learning.

[malignstar]

So? Learning can still be fun. Fun isn't a mutually exclusive thing, you know.

[voreaciously]

Nevertheless, I do not do them out of amusement.

[malignstar]

What if we focused less on fun and more on enjoyment?

[voreaciously]

I do not care about either during a trial.

[malignstar]

Well, what do you want to do? This trial isn't just about what I need.

[voreaciously]

Let us share a handshake.

[malignstar]

Sure.

[ Shifts his hold on her hand to deliver a firm shake ]

[voreaciously]

[she shakes it in kind.]

There.

[malignstar]

Making good progress?

[voreaciously]

I do not know.

[good progress means winning. she doesn't know how everyone else is doing.]

[malignstar]

How many candies have you gone through?

[voreaciously]

Not nearly enough.

[malignstar]

I can help you with more?

[voreaciously]

...If you wish.

[malignstar]

Do you have any orange ones?

[voreaciously]

Yes. A moment.

[She walks towards the pumpkins and taking one that is not carved, places it on the end of her naginata which has manifested in her hands in a shower of golden motes.

Suddenly she pulls her blade from underneath the pumpkin and makes a number of quick slashes against it. As it falls, she guides it with the flat of her blade, pressing it against its side until it is horizontal and resting against it once more.

She faces it towards him in offering and the pumpkin is carved in Felix's likeness.]

I will also share this with you.

[2 birds, one stone.]

[malignstar]

[ He's just kinda stunned at what just happened ]
