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 works.

[And off he goes and comes back as a cop.]

I'm gonna make some more of the hot chocolate. [Because SPICY LIFE apparently.] Wanna come listen to a scary story?

Depends. Can I play with the handcuffs?

Sure.

[Especially as he'll need to change costumes again.]

There was once a boy at a summer camp. A quiet kid, target for bullying, but he mostly kept to himself. He did the activities he was told to do, even if he was on his own.

But unfortunately, the camp counselors weren't very attentive. He had all the kids swim, but instead of watching them, they ran off to make out, as teenagers do. They figured nothing would happen.

This time, however, something happened. That boy got caught on some old netting and drowned. The incident closed the camp for years.

Until someone new bought it, but the new people didn't learn from the past. Teenage counselors wouldn't take their job seriously, and the spirit of that boy would not allow that to continue.

He would rise again and punish them for those repeated transgressions.

[And have a little more hot chocolate.]

Isn't that just the plot for Friday the 13th?

[ Twirling cuffs around on one finger ]

It absolutely is.

Never said I had to make up the story myself.
