Halloween is not something the Japanese have traditionally celebrated, but in their bid to try and incorporate more holidays from around the world, Hinoto-Ri is hosting a pumpkin and costume festival!
On October 31st, the Visitors are invited to join in the fun! Trick or treating, pumpkin carving, haunted houses - All of Hinoto-Ri is pulling out all stops to celebrate... including the demons.
As the night progresses, your character may find themselves subject to some... changes during the festivities. As your parents no doubt once told you, accepting candy from strangers is probably a bad idea. Slipped in amongst the treats, whether sold by vendors, received from trick or treating, or even purchased in stores, are some special surprises. The candies will be indistinguishable from the rest, but when consumed, will temporarily alter your character, in behavior or in form, for the duration of Halloween night. Let's see if the Visitors have what it takes to endure these fun and games....
And who knows, you might get to see the great Pumpkin King...
Now here's where the fun begins! Below are about three group of candies with different status effects. You can have your character consume up to
3 of them.
Each candy is grouped as red (physical), blue (spiritual/mental) or yellow (other). We want you to reply below with the 1-3 candies your character will consume, and only one from each color. If they consume 2 or 3 candies, it may cause an additional effect to your character. For example, if someone were to ingest a candy that causes a narrator voice, and another that gives them a vampire appearance, they would get a dark mysterious vampire voice doing their narration dramatically. What those effects are will depend entirely on the combinations you pick! Some of them might even cause very interesting things to happen...
Characters may freely participate in the event by simply combining together effects from the various pieces of candy listed below. As mentioned above, however, sometimes mixing the different colors will have extra effects over and above the ones listed here! If you want to have your character potentially develop an extra quirk or effect based on the combination they've chosen to eat, sign up
below for that and the mods will get back to you with something in advance of the event. Otherwise you can just choose a few effects from the list and run with it yourself!

YELLOW CANDIES - OTHER

THE MORGAN FREEMAN Your character will have a narrator announcing everything they do and occasionally their inner monologues to the world at large.
POUR VOUS Other characters will have the urge to give your character something. Even if it's a rock on the floor. They just. Need. To. Give them. Something.
