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.

[Sunset will gladly clarify if asked.]

But if its a talent for magic, or magical research, or....I don't know, espionage? Three princesses took me to the restricted section, that says a lot of trust.

That has a lot less application in a low magic place with wholly alien cultural norms. I may never be able to use that talent again.

I don't see why a magic or magical research talent wouldn't apply. Or even a plain research one. This whole enterprise runs on some kind of magic, and there's completely new systems of magic to explore.
daydreamshimmer: (that is breaking some kind of physics)

Except I was turned into a human before here.

And considering I was lying on the legal paperwork, chances are high 'magical shape change and telportation' isn't a legitimate explanation for things which implies different to possibly near nonexistant magical system and no clue as to the effects of the spell that changed me to fit into that place. Probably other world all things considered.

A Cutie Mark is physical. Altering my form to this extent and for at least some weeks could have...damaged that. Especially since a transformation spell this heavy duty isn't easily done.

—wait, paperwork? You remember when you turned into a human??

Not when I changed. Some time after.

One memory, I'm a unicorn being escorted by three princesses, including Celestia herself, to restricted books that not even Princess Twilight knew existed. Her brain near exploded in excitement at new books so they were apparently a need to know basis.

And it'd be wild if they decided to share those to help a filly who needed a guardian signature on things.

Which, other memory, human trying to pass a driver's test. Said my age was seventeen and forged a signature for someone named Luna being my guardian. And the year was vastly different from what I thought it'd be.
