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.

that we have an awesome holiday?

[crimeson]

No, that there is potential for haunted houses and scary stories and Elie isn't here so I can see her get super spooked. Tragic...

[schrodingerscockroach]

[Chuckles.] Well, maybe next time.

[crimeson]

Well, for all that I dunno how I'd feel if any of my family wound up on the train at this point...

Maybe, though.

[schrodingerscockroach]

...well, I mean.

Worse places to be.

[As long as everything isn't a LIE.]

[crimeson]

For sure. It's less a reasonable thought and more of a... dodging awkwardness and my own overprotective tendencies kinda thought.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....is it awkward around your family?

Or is it cause you're a flirt?

1/2

[crimeson]

...First of all, how dare you call me out like this.

[crimeson]

Second, there's just, stuff I'd have to explain if they turned up.

...And that's for the nice friendly definition of family. If my blood relations show up we're all fucked, actually.

[schrodingerscockroach]

[He laughs, looking very amused.]

Ah, I guess I could see that.

Found family is just as legitimate if not more legitimate than blood family.

Also I feel you've greatly underestimated the killing power on the train if anyone decided to be an actual legitimate threat to everyone else.

[crimeson]

Oh, I'm not even worried about them being an actual legitimate threat like, physically? I mean. They are. It's more the whole... we're trying to do positivity... thing. And they're fuckin' terrors.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Fucking terrors as in want to make people miserable, or just likes messing with people?

[crimeson]

More to the latter, but... often the definition of fun isn't not making people miserable. If there weren't so many strong people here it'd be one thing, but, well.

...Let's not worry about it unless it comes up.

[schrodingerscockroach]

...that's fair. Just let me now if something happens so you don't have deal with it alone.

[crimeson]

[he nods]

I'll be good and not try to handle them by myself if they show.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Good to hear. [Pats his shoulder.] So more candies?
