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.

Not nearly enough.

I can help you with more?

...If you wish.

Do you have any orange ones?

Yes. A moment.

[She walks towards the pumpkins and taking one that is not carved, places it on the end of her naginata which has manifested in her hands in a shower of golden motes.

Suddenly she pulls her blade from underneath the pumpkin and makes a number of quick slashes against it. As it falls, she guides it with the flat of her blade, pressing it against its side until it is horizontal and resting against it once more.

She faces it towards him in offering and the pumpkin is carved in Felix's likeness.]

I will also share this with you.

[2 birds, one stone.]

[ He's just kinda stunned at what just happened ]

[she flips the pumpkin back towards her and as it's in the air, her naginata disappears in those same golden motes before she catches it, inspects her work.]

Is something wrong? Ah...have I offended you perhaps?

[she sounds a bit nervous, actually.]

Huh? No! It's, it's seriously amazing. I've never seen anyone carve pumpkins like that. And it looks just like me.

[ Takes pumpkin to hold up to himself ]

I gotta get a selfie.
