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.

Yes.

And what else do you need to do while I carve this?

No, we are not and the more you insist the more we are not ever going to be, not that there was any chance at all. [she nods again]

If you believe it is a trick, then it is a trick. Your exact words.

I don't believe it's a trick.

select your next candy.

[time to avoid dusk forever outside of trials.]

[Like he'd let you. Really, how did you not expect that to backfire?]

Well, I gotta change costumes. Suggestions?

Someone with taste.

Well, now we're really just pushing the limits of how much I can pretend.

[He knows his taste is terrible.]

Try.

A chef, maybe?

[. . .]

As you like, then.

[:)]

[Off to get a Chef's costume.] Tada.

Moving right along, then.

Yep. What have you got?

[she walks away and comes back after a little bit with a chili pepper.]

Here.

[she would have made him a meal but that would have definitely given him the wrong idea.]

Ah, more spicy food.

[But will accept the pepper.]

What have you?

[Considers.]

Can I see your hand a few seconds?

...Very well.

[she will offer it to him.]

[Takes her hand and kisses the back of it and will let go.] There, affection.

[...]

...

[she will take her hand back after a moment.]

[And that's another five he needs.]

...you know, I think I know a good way to do the trick thing. Ever heard of two truths and a lie?

Yes.

So how about we see if I can fool you. Sound good?

If you wish.

All right, let's see.

[Thinking for a minute.]

I've seen over half a room of people temporarily incapacitated with a single word.

As blue team leader, I have the responsibility to take care of all spiders for both Red and Blue team.

I once sacrificed myself by saying 'Freckles, shake.'
