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.

[honestly, dusk's life is fucking weird so she can try to puzzle this out and she is, but at the end of the day, each answer is as likely as the other.]

The second is false.

Damnit. How'd you know?

[oh yaaay she got that right.]

None of them seemed implausible, truly, considering your life, I will say.

[it's an answer and it isn't.]

What is a "spider", in this context?

That was kind of the point, yeah.

Just a normal spider.

Which, I mean, I don't know what they think of spiders. But I also wouldn't be surprised if they were freaked out about them.

I see. Thank you. And, well, you did a good job of it.

I try, but still, technically not a trick.

[...probably should have lied about the spiders, but oh well.]

Okay, let's see....

My favorite color is blue.

My favorite food is strawberries.

And Disney is my favorite movie franchise.

The first is false.

[Sighs.]

I've recalled seven different names between nicknames, code names, and real name.

I've managed to talk shit about an agent with his AI without him knowing.

And I've almost been hit by a car in space.

[oh was that right then--]

What is your favourite colour?

Yellow.

Blue is up there, but it's like. Fondness in a general sense versus personal preference sense.

I see.

[she will go back to wondering.]

The first is false.

....what's sad is it's only one off.

How well do you even know me?

It is not about knowing you.

[she's just a spectacular liar.]

You've been right everytime.

Who knows, maybe I knew you too like Faito. Went to another world where magic was everywhere.

You did not.

[Actually pauses at that.]

[And considers her.]

You sure? Because it HAS always seemed like you've known me pretty well.

I do not.

You know, it just makes me think it might be true when you're that blunt. You usually shut down the uncomfortable things.

As you like, then. At any rate, you have yet to trick me. Do you wish to continue or attempt to do so to someone else? Also what is your spice tolerance?

Nah, technically I have. I only recall five names, not six.

[Since he hasn't remembered where Leo is himself.]

[But making her think he was tricking right now definitely counts.]

Nothing super spicy, but good with moderate spice.

If you wish to play it like that.

[Five, six, she doesn't know what to believe but is not at all invested.]

I see.

[well, STILL making a meal for him is off the table so she will leave to go and fetch some spicy candy and offer it to him.]

Hey, he encouraged open interpretation. [Shrugs.]

[Will take the candy and eat it.]

What do you think of chili hot chocolate?

It does not matter to me, ultimately.

[as long as she completes her objective.]

It is fine, I suppose.

Come on.

[Time to make chili hot chocolate.]

Very well.

[she will follow him.[
