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.

I think how they move is the most interesting part, but...

Want to do a candy?

[daydreamshimmer]

Sure. I need to do affection and a 'hot and spicy' thing.

I'm thinking hot chocolate with chili powder.

[bowtiedbones]

Oh! That's a good idea. I need to do "hot and spicy," too.

[daydreamshimmer]

Then let's see what we can make without making it inedible.

[To the haunted kitchen.]

[bowtiedbones]

We'll be fine~ cinnamon in hot cocoa is good, red pepper must be too.

[daydreamshimmer]

Chili works in normal chocolate too. So it should work.

[Raiding the pantries.]

[bowtiedbones]

[SEARCHING]

Do you want the fancy kind of cocoa or the instant kind of cocoa?

[daydreamshimmer]

....whatever we can find, but instant if we have a choice since we're experimenting.

[Oh hey, peppers.]

[bowtiedbones]

Instant is easy, so that works for me.

[fetching out two packets and getting those going]

[daydreamshimmer]

[Time to hear up water because going for what's easiest right now.]

So just need to wait a few minutes. Think it's better to grind up the peppers or just have it in like a cinnamon stick?

[bowtiedbones]

If they're dried peppers, I think sticking it in might work...? Is there any paprika we would just use?

[daydreamshimmer]

Is paprika spicy?

[bowtiedbones]

It's a more mild spice.

[daydreamshimmer]

....I think we may want to try the peppers. I know peppers and chocolate work. A powdered spice might not work as well just stirred in.

[bowtiedbones]

Cinnamon doesn't dissolve either, but sure, we can do the peppers.

[daydreamshimmer]

Stewing a stick of it works better for cinnamon too.

[bowtiedbones]

Are we going to stew the peppers?

[daydreamshimmer]

Not like...cooking. Just having it in the hot chocolate. Like tea. Seeping?

[bowtiedbones]

Steeping! Infused.

[daydreamshimmer]

That's the word. Steeping it with peppers.

[bowtiedbones]

It sounds very culinary!

[daydreamshimmer]

Spicy and chocolate usually works. [And making it now.]

[It's....very mild spice. She was trying to make make it overpowering.]

[bowtiedbones]

It smells really good.

[daydreamshimmer]

Hopefully it tastes good.

[Offering it to her though and sipping some herself.]

....could have used more pepper, but not bad. But chocolate is always good.

[Pause, considering.] With how horses are in your world....fun fact about ponies of mine. We can actually bake.

[bowtiedbones]

I like it! It's very warming.

[sipping on her own]

I'm not sure but... I think chocolate is actually toxic to horses in my world? They definitely don't bake. That would be super dangerous even trying to fit a horse into a kitchen at all.
