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.

Hey SF, want to hear a super scary story.

[daydreamshimmer]

[Are we on nickname basis now?]

Sure, lay it on me.

[And stabbing the pumpkin for cutting.]

[malignstar]

[ Is anyone ever on a nickname basis with Felix? ]

Did Eliza tell you that we usually ride on those non-magical horses?

[daydreamshimmer]

NO.

[Pulling out the knife and pointing at him.] We are NOT giving me ethical and existential dread.

[malignstar]

[ Holding up his hands in a placating gesture and also laughing way too hard ]

I'm done, I'm done!

[daydreamshimmer]

Seriously, I'm healing with enough of that hayseed, I'll learn what I want in my own time.

[malignstar]

Sorry, that might have been too scary. Tell you what, I'll help you with one to make up for it.

[daydreamshimmer]

.....kneel down?

[malignstar]

[ Going to fight really hard to not make a remake about that sounding kinky and just going to do it ]

As you say.

[daydreamshimmer]

[She would probably throw pumpkin guts at him if he did right now.]

[Also she's gonna pet a wing because she's been curious how feathers feel with hands okayokay.]

[malignstar]

[ He has some tact, okay!

Also, whoa, that was unexpected and he probably flinches a little. ]

[daydreamshimmer]

[Pulls back her hand at that flinch, staring a moment.]

[Opens her mouth.]

[Closes it and picks up her knife.]

Affection, you know. [Gonna carve this pumpkin.]

What else you got?

[malignstar]

[ Felix gives a tight sort of laugh and rubs at the back of his hair ]

It's fine. You just caught me by surprise. And they're kind of sensitive. What do you think by the way?

Also, I've got silver and purple. I guess telling you I've got sensitive wings could count as a share.

[daydreamshimmer]

[Yeah, she doesn't believe that. She's just gonna ask. Later.]

They're....tingly? Different than hair. Hard to really describe...

Works for me.

[Looking at the pumpkin and]

...huh. [It's less of a face as very....lopsided holes.] Harder to work with a knife.

[malignstar]

Tingly? I've never heard them described like that. I like to think they're soft.

How do you usually carve pumpkins?

[daydreamshimmer]

It's hard to describe. Kind of prickly, but softer prickly.

With magic, probably.

[malignstar]

That's cheating!

[daydreamshimmer]

It's what unicorns do. Earth ponies are strong, Pegasi fly, unicorns use magic.

[malignstar]

Want me to show you how humans do it?

[daydreamshimmer]

Sure, let's see what you got.

[malignstar]

[ This is going to be a super sad attempt to make a pony based off her memory... ]

[daydreamshimmer]

.....do humans usually do it like that?

[malignstar]

Well, some of us are more skilled than others.

[daydreamshimmer]

And on a scale from one to ten, where are you?

[malignstar]

Generous 6?

[ You can at least tell it's SUPPOSED to be a pony ]
