+ Do they know it's Summerween? +

[vitaelamorte]

Probably not, but they do now!

As the Dormouse said, there's an event this weekend - trick or treat for your lives, in the middle of summer! For several days! That sounds fun and not at all exhausting or nerve-wracking for the people involved, right?

Anyway, here is how trick-or-treating will work:

• The Summerween Trickster is expecting EVERYONE to trick or treat. That means you, adults. No one is getting out of it by handing out candy.


• The closets will NOT be giving out candy. Sheesh, stop trying to cheat! You will, however, be able to get any Summerween costume you'd like from them.


• Every closed door in the mansion can be trick-or-treated at, even if it's a room that belongs to someone (get permission from the person first though). If done correctly, the door will open and a small amount of candy will be flung at you. The amount depends how many people you have with you and how good your costumes are.


• You HAVE to be in costume and you HAVE to say "Trick or Treat". If you don't, the doors will not give you candy. For the two Wonderland residents in Halloween costumes year-round, that means NEW costumes. Better costumes get you more candy and lazy costumes get you the bare minimum - one piece of loser candy. Anyone who thinks to dress up their pet gets bonus candy, but don't be surprised if the animals get sick of it after a while.


• Because it's trick OR treat, there will be some tricks in the mix. Roughly 10% of the time when your character knocks on a door, they will be met with a trick instead of a treat. Generally these things will not be harmful and will mostly just be annoying while you're trying to trick-or-treat for your life. Examples of tricks might be things that obviously aren't candy (a can of sardines, a rock, toothbrushes, etc) or pranks (stink bombs, a flock of bats, anything that might jump out and spook you) but we're mostly leaving it up to you - you guys get the idea. Everyone has an equal chance of getting tricked, no matter how good or bad their costume is.


• If the Summerween Trickster catches someone not participating, it counts as a mansion death. They'll get killed and eaten, consumed by the loser candy monster like the loser they are for not celebrating Summerween.

Alright, I think that about covers it, but there will be a FAQ as always for any other questions you guys have! And as usual this is a plot post! What are your characters dressing up as? Are they going to get in the spirit of things, or are they going to be killed for refusing to participate? Have fun, and Happy Summerween!

Okay, so trick-or-treating was starting to become a thing back in Steve's day, but it wasn't super widespread and even if he might have been aware of it, I doubt he ever participated for... a number of reasons. So in a way, having the chance to do it now would be kind of exciting! Steve suffers from having to grow up way too fast, so he'll secretly be kind of glad to have the chance to be a kid again.

That being said, the fact that people die if they don't do it is obviously going to bother him, but he'll definitely be participating. He has no interest in dying again any time soon, thanks.

I'm going to be kind of mean and make it that the closet will only give him sexy firefighter costumes, because I think everyone in Wonderland deserves to see Steve wearing that. (And knowing him, he'll magically pull it off somehow.)

Also, Steve would not think to dress up his dog, Dodger, but someone should convince him to do it so they can match.

Want to trick-or-treat with him? Just want a chance to remark on his objectifying outfit? Want anything at all, really? Let me know!!

He'll be ready to trick or treat at seven sharp, Steve. Don't be late.

Aww, thank you so much!! I was really enjoying what we got through before both of us fell into hiatus hell, so yeah, we should pick up on that now! They can run into each other while trick or treating. c:
