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.

Any holiday with candy is usually off at a good start.

You won't hear me arguing with that one!

Also, your hair is amazing.

Thank you. [It is the most anime.]

It actually sounds a lot like Nightmare Night, just without the Nightmare Moon part.

Yeah? What's the Nightmare Moon part about, then?

Nightmare Moon is basically the whole story to 'justify' why we do the things.

We wear costumes because if Nightmare Moon sees a pony, she's going to gobble them up. We collect candy because part of it has to be shared with her so she will be filled up and will return to the Moon for another year.

So we end up with a sugar filled, creepy scary festival full of fun and screams.

[pony?]

Oh, that sounds fun. You guys have a lot of horses where you're from, then?

Not horses, ponies.

I was born a unicorn. I have no idea why I'm human because I'm certain they don't exist in Equestria.

...Well. I judged that one totally wrong.

Trust me, it's all weird. I woke up here with no idea what I was, so it's been fun all around.

[So much bitterness.]

But. That's something to figure out and only doing that with memories, and there's a trial to do.

Right, sorry, didn't mean to stress you out. Anything I can help you out with?

I need to do an affection thing before my next five.

Okay. How do you feel about hugs? Or headpats?

Hugs are fine if weird with the angles. Hedpats too.

Headpats less weird?

Eh. {Shrugs.] I probably didn't have them a lot, with the horn and all, but it's fine.
