• This is a Halloweenie Board Game Labyrinth in which groups will roll a die to progress across a board of 24 spaces. These spaces will involve tasks that are either a) social tasks, b) ~creative~ tasks, or c) brief activity tasks (example: KNOCKING ON A SUSPICIOUS DOOR and handling whatever the heck answers.) There might also be tasks that don't really fit into the listed categories, but you get the picture.

• This labyrinth is projected to span from 10/21 to 10/31. HOWEVER! It is COMPLETELY POSSIBLE that your group can finish sooner than this! Finishing up the last day is also a-okay. This long space of time is there as allowance for people to take their time if need be without feeling rushed since progress is dependent on everyone's interactions. However, my intention is to have everyone wrapped up on the last day of October!

• Please comment to the sign-up header as soon as you can! Even if you don't intend to tag around in the mingle, just go ahead and comment so I can sort people into their random groups.

• JOINING LATE/LEAVING EARLY: You're allowed to join in late—I'll still randomly assign you to a group! On an equivalent note, you're also allowed to leave early—we just ask that leave a comment in the gameplay portion indicating that your character ~suddenly disappeared~ at some point so the other players can know. And if you DO come back to play again, your character will just magically rejoin them.

• LABYRINTH PRIZE: each character will receive a bag of treats... as well as a Halloween-inspired prize! It can vary between oddly useful to very useless. They'll also get to keep their costume.

Please comment here with each character you'll be playing! Come the 21st, I'll randomize everyone into groups of 3-4; you'll receive a response to your sign-up with such info.

[it's night time, and you're standing in the front yard of a tackily Halloweened mansion. a song about spooky, scary skeletons that won't stop playing. there are jack-o-lanterns all about, plastic skeletons dangling from leafless trees, those nasty fake cobwebs that somehow get stuck in your hair almost everywhere. let's not forget the styrofoam gravestones that read cheesy things like "Yura Goner" and the silly sheet ghosts that wave around like they just don't care. they probably don't care.

overall, this is a cheap, but effectively elaborate, Halloween party. and lucky you—you're already wearing a Halloween costume!

Pumpkin Patch: There's a sign that's prompting you to take a pumpkin. However, they've already been carved with one of two faces, and they're connected to the ground with chains, so you can't actually... take one. Still, picking one up will alter your mood drastically. Some of you will find that its effect fades away (quickly/slowly) over time, but some of you might notice that it lingers for quite a while longer than that.

• Happy Pumpkin: You feel giddy—almost giggly! The smallest thing might amuse you since you're in a very easygoing mood. You still have your wits, but you might be tempted to take things a little less seriously, and with an extra ounce of jest.

• Evil Pumpkin: You feel grouchy—almost angry! You're now in the kind of bad mood where the smallest thing can inexplicably set you into a rage, and you might find yourself easily frustrated. It's very tempting to act out on this nasty attitude, even if you're the kind of person who usually keeps their cool!

Buffet Table: There's a large snack selection. We're talking stabbed peanut butter cupcakes, tasty cheese-wrapped sausage fingers, a graveyard dip, a giant bowl full of brand-name candy in which a plastic hand will harmlessly jump out and try to grab yours, and... a standard punch bowl. Not far off are tables (covered with Halloween-striped plastic tarps that don't touch the ground) set aside for you to eat at.

Punch Bowl: The delicious snacks won't have any weird effect on you, but you'll notice that the punch bowl has a silly little pumpkin-shaped "WARNING" sign which is clearly there for kicks and giggles, right? However, though its contents don't smell alcoholic in the least, it might make you tipsy or flat-out drunk. "Might" being an important word—you see, it's completely possible to guzzle down three cups of this stuff and still remain completely sober. On the other hand, a single cup might be enough to get you hammered. Everyone's experiences may vary!

Jukebox: Set off to the side, so you can presumably have room to dance, is a retro jukebox. There's a wide selection of songs available, but someone's already queued "Spooky Scary Skeletons" an infinite number of times. There's no way to change this.]

((Feel free to tag around in this before/during the labyrinth! If you decide to experiment with the simple effects of the pumpkins or the boozy punch, they CAN carry on into the labyrinth if you'd like! If you don't wind up thread one of those out, you can just handwave that your character did whatever before entering the mansion.))

Archer!

Yuu!

SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS!!!!!!

Rio!

MAO

ECHOOOOOOO

Echooooooo

echooooooo

echooooo

Shinoa!

[and Echo's a sheet ghost with holes cut out for her eyes and arms. her weird little ahoge thing somehow manages to stick out at the top, too]

Is this... supposed to be scary?

[ is this someone new? it's honestly hard to tell at first glance as he seems to be this year's pumpkin king, complete with jack-o'-lantern mask, crouching and perhaps attempting to hide in the patch among his people ]

N-no way... I had absolutely no idea haunted houses were involved? This is a shock!!

CLEAR HERE

[sheet ghost approaches.]

It is a shock...

Are you hiding?

It could be scary. I'm scared! Are you by any chance a friendly ghost?

Echo is not a ghost. This is a sheet.

[pause]

Ah. Wait. Does that mean you are hiding?

Mika!!!

Luke!

Chihaya!

Tarnist!

Sorey!

But, I thought a costume like that would put someone in the ghostly spirit for a little while? For example, this feels like a pumpkin head—

[ taps his mask ]

—so blending in a row with other pumpkins seemed nice, even though it is only a mask. They're cute!

Oh. I suppose... they are...

[there is so much hesitance, it's not easy to admit anything is cute!!]

But pumpkins. They do not talk.

Ohh! A party?!

[says the girl's voice coming from this slightly terrifying bear-themed mascot costume]

[—sheet ghost is caught off guard not just by your yelling, but your costume...]

You are being loud.

To answer you: it seems like it.

--I'm not! Ehh, I didn't know they'd throw us a party...
