Requirements

Requirements
You walk up to the corner, where your friends are decked out in elaborate Halloween costumes.
Danny: Hey guys!
Nishan: Happy All Hallows’ Eve, Danny!
Julian: Ahoy!
Payton: Yay! I can’t wait to get started trick-or-treating. There’s so much delicious free candy to demand!
Autumn: Not to mention seeing all the wonderful costumes everybody wears!
Nishan: I was just telling Payton that I performed a distributive analysis on all the houses with Halloween decorations up in order to plot the most efficient route through the neighborhood.
Payton: ...and I was just telling Nishan that I have no clue what any of that even means.
Nishan: It means we’ll get more candy.
Payton: ...really? Why didn’t you just say so? Let’s go!
Autumn: Hold up a second. Is this the whole group?
Requirements
With everyone assembled, your group heads out trick-or-treating.
Rin: I love trick-or-treating! The costumes, the Halloween decorations...
Berry: The candy!
Alexandra: Yeah, you can’t forget the candy!
Your group collects treats from several houses.
Payton: Mmm... peanut butter cups are the best!
Autumn: And I got tons of Skittles! What other candy has all these wonderful colors?
On the next porch is a mummy with a full candy bowl on its lap. Leaning nearby is a sign that reads ‘Take One’.
Berry: Guess the people who live here didn’t want to wait up.
You step forward, reach into the candy bowl, and take just one. You take one fun-sized chocolate and drop it into your candy bag.
Danny: That’s enough for me.
Julian: Heh. Sucker... you know what they call an unguarded candy bowl on Halloween?
Danny: No. What?
Julian: ‘Empty’.
Julian reaches in and takes an enormous fistful of candy... When the mummy shoots upright, lunging forward right at you!
Danny: AHHHH!
Time - 4 hours
The mummy roars and lumbers forward, arms outstretched! Your group hightails it to the street.
Payton: EEEEEE!
Autumn: MUMM-EEEEEE!
Julian remains standing exactly where he was, laughing. Behind Julian, the ‘mummy’ sits back down on the porch and places the candy bowl back on his lap.
Danny: ...it was just a trick?
Danny: Julian, how could you tell that mummy was just some guy in a Halloween costume pranking us?
Payton: Yeah, what tipped you off?
Julian: Oh, I dunno... maybe the fact that mummies don’t breathe, or blink, or waste time guarding Twizzlers.
Autumn: ...um, guys? Where’s Nishan?
You look around and spot a bush quivering. Behind it cowers Nishan.
Nishan: Is this what the Ancient Egyptian afterlife looks like? I’m too young to be revivified!
Danny: Nishan, everything’s fine. It’s safe to come out now.
Julian: And don’t feel too bad for getting frightened. Not everyone can be as suave or as fearless or as suave as I am.
Nishan: I... I wasn’t scared. I was inspecting the bush for... tree mites...
Julian: Sure, sure... tree mites. Like those are even a thing. The simple truth is I can’t be scared! I’ve seen every scary movie, every spooky prank, every tricksy trick... nothing get to me! Unlike SOME people.
Nishan: Not true. I know you’re not fearless, Julian. You can be scared just like everyone else! Especially when we’re talking about REAL ghosts.
Julian: ...uh, what?
Nishan: You heard me! You ALL heard me! I challenge Julian to go with me to Whitechapel Manor and stay inside until midnight!
Payton: Ew! You mean that spooky old house on the outskirts of town?
Autumn: I heard they opened it up for guided tours on Halloween night. They say it’s supposed to be haunted.
Nishan: Exactly! We’ll all go there, and then we’ll see how fearless Julian really is!
Payton: Or better idea, we DON’T do that. Let’s keep trick-or-treating! It’s way more fun than some dumb haunted house thing, right?
Autumn: I’m with Payton. Besides, how would we even get in?
Nishan: I know one of the tour guides. If we ask nicely, I’m sure we can squeeze in for a last minute tour.
Requirements
Zander: Welcome, travelers... to Whitechapel Manor!
Zander ushers your group into the dimly lit entryway of an enormous, spooky mansion. The wallpaper is faded and peeling. Tangled cobwebs trace the ceiling. Portraits of long-deceased residents ornament the walls.
Nishan: Heh... scared yet, Julian?
Julian: Yeah, scared this place might be even more boring than I expected.
Autumn: Guys, does it really matter how brave Julian is? I’ve kind of had enough of ghosts lately...
Payton: And I was having a good time trick-or-treating.
Payton runs a finger along a dusty picture frame.
Payton: Blech! Not to mention this place is way grimy! It’s definitely not being haunted by a Roomba.
Zander ushers you deeper into the mansion.
Zander: Come along, travelers, as we continue our tale of horror!
Time - 6 hours
The tour of Whitechapel Manor continues...
Zander: Those who have dared to live in Whitechapel Manor have experienced the unexplainable, the inexplicable, the terrifying! Animals grow agitated. Food spoils before its time. Doors and windows open and close on their own... And sometimes, as the clock strikes MIDNIGHT, two restless spirits can be seen, sisters draped in sheets of white lace... Two young girls who made a childhood pact to never, ever, leave their home! BWA HA HA!
Payton: Sheesh. Overacting much?
Nishan: Psst, Danny... come with me.
Danny: What about the--
Nishan: Shh... keep your voice down. Now come on!
Nishan leads you into a dilapidated greenhouse connected to the mansion.
Nishan: Perfect! I talked with Zander, and we’re allowed to stay in Whitechapel Manor until midnight.
Danny: ...isn’t that when the ghosts come out?
Nishan: Yep! If you believe in that stuff. Or if you come prepared.
Nishan pulls out a small digital projector.
Nishan: With this baby, I’m going to make SURE that Julian sees a ghost! I just need someplace to conceal it.
Requirements
Nishan tucks his digital projector behind the hedge and flips it on. Ride beside you, two ghostly sisters appear...
Danny: Whoa! That’s spooky!
Nishan: Yeah, but not quite spooky enough to scare Julian. We need a little something extra to complete the scene...
Danny: Hmm. What about spooky fog!
Nishan: Of course! Fog! I knew I was forgetting something!
Nishan opens up a cooler filled with dry ice and sprinkles in water. Fog spills out, blanketing the floor.
Nishan: This is perfect! And terrifying! Terrifyingly perfect!
Nishan: Now go get Julian and bring him back here.
Danny: ...okay, I guess. Where will you be?
Nishan points to a tiny security camera hidden in a corner long the ceiling.
Nishan: I’ll be watching everything from the security office.
Requirements
You return to find your group just as the tour concludes.
Autumn: Hey, Danny, where’d you run off to?
Danny: Uh, nowhere... just checking this place out. It’s totally scary, right?
Payton: That’s ONE word for it.
Autumn: Anyway, the tour’s over. Now what? Are we really just gonna WAIT here until midnight? I already ate all my candy!
Danny: About waiting... Julian, I found something you might want to see.
Time - 8 hours
You escort Julian through the shadowed hallways of Whitechapel Manor and into the greenhouse.
Danny: Sure is dark in here, huh? I do hope nothing scary happens!
As you venture deeper into the greenhouse, a dense fog billows toward you.
Julian: ...seriously? Dry ice?
Julian kicks over the cooler, scattering the ice and dispersing the fog. The digital projector flips on, and the image of the ghostly sisters appears in mid-air! Julian barely even reacts.
Julian: ...and cue the digital projector. YAWN. So when are the scares supposed to start? Or better yet, why don’t you just take me to Nishan?
Requirements
Nishan peers out nervously from beneath the desk.
Nishan: Julian? What are you--? You’re supposed to be--?
Danny: Sorry, Nishan, it didn’t work. Julian say through the whole thing.
Julian chuckles and points to a bank of security monitors.
Julian: Nishan, get real. Did you really think I was going to be scared by fake ghosts in the greenhouse, or rubber spiders on the banisters, or floating candelabras in the dining room?
Nishan: Floating candelabras? I didn’t do that!
Danny: ...You didn’t? Then who did?
An old grandfather clock chimes midnight! The overhead lights slicker ominously and then wink out.
Julian: Uh... so you didn’t do that either?
There’s a sudden jolt, and the whole room lurches!
Nishan: You’re looking right at me! How am I doing ANY of this?
Julian: I dunno... you’re Science Guy. Maybe you used science!
A distant moaning echoes through the room, two female voices entwined in a duet of eternal despair.
Danny: ...and MAYBE we should get out of here.
Requirements
You, Julian, and Nishan race out into the dark hallway. Without lights, the house seems to have subtly transformed. Its corridors seem endlessly winding; its shadows seem black as pitch.
Julian: Okay, Nishan, which way do we go?
Nishan: ...I don’t know! It’s so dark, I can’t make anything out.
Danny: Uh, we could use a flashlight app!
You pull out your phone and turn on the flashlight app. You shine the light ahead of you and make your way down the hall. Julian and Nishan follow closely behind.
Julian: Good thinking, Danny. And people call Nishan a genius!
Nishan: I am a genius. There are documents that prove it... Unlike Julian declaring HIMSELF brave. I have a question: if Julian really IS brave, how come he’s clutching my hand so tightly?
Julian: ...uh, I’m not holding your hand.
Julian holds up his empty hands. Nishan looks down to find bone-white fingers entwined with his own. Then he turns around to see... two spectral sisters draped in sheets of white lace!
Julian: Uh... uh...
Nishan: EEEEEEEEEEE!!!
Time - 8 hours
The two spectral sisters draw themselves up to their full height and make unearthly moans! You, Julian, and Nishan inch backward.
Nishan: Okay, I’m not afraid to admit it... I’m very, very scared right now!
Julian: And I’m, uh... almost feeling not awesomely brave!
Julian and Nishan continue to back away, but you hold firm.
Julian: Are you sure you want to do that?
Nishan: You’ll end up as ghost food!
As the two spectral sisters reach toward you, you calmly rip away the sheets of white lace to reveal...
Payton: Uh... boo?
Autumn: Uh... hey guys.
Nishan: ...Payton?
Julian: ...Autumn?
Danny: ...you’re the ghosts?
Payton: And you said you were fearless. Not even! You guys scare way too easily!
Autumn: Seriously, all it took was some creative Halloween makeup...
Payton: And a ghost costume made of some lace sheets we found lying around... And we had you totally fooled!
Julian: No, you didn’t! I knew it was you... I just didn’t want Nishan to get embarrassed.
Nishan: My hero.
Autumn: I’m sorry about the trick, but you three needed to learn a lesson!
Nishan: ...that Julian really can get scared?
Payton: No, the lesson that nobody cares. Besides, all three of you are totally scared... OF US! We just wanted to have fun trick-or-treating, and thanks to me setting all the clock ahead, we still have time... SO CAN WE GET BACK TO THAT PLEASE?
Julian: ...okay, now THAT actually was scary.
Nishan: ...yep!
Requirements
Later that night, you and your friends continue trick-or-treating...
Berry: Oooh, look at all the decorations in front of that house!
Rin: Looks like they’re having a huge Halloween party in there! I bet they’ll have awesome candy.
Alexandra: Only one way to find out!
You knock, and a group of people in costume open the door with a bowl of candy.
Julian: Trick or treat!
The party-goers hand out candy, and you head to the next house while you compare loot...
Autumn: Oh! They gave me a bag of candy corn!
Payton: Heh... that’s nothing! They gave me a full-size candy bar!
Julian: So what? Those guys gave me this cool welcome mat because they weren’t looking when I took it.
Autumn: Julian, put that back!
Julian: Come on... it’s not like I didn’t warn them. I asked them straight up: trick OR treat?
Nishan: His logic is sound.
You point down a cul-de-sac.
Danny: Looks like we have one last street to walk down. Everyone ready to go?
Time - 16 hours
As your group continues trick-or-treating, the conversation drifts back to the events in Whitechapel Manor.
Julian: So Autumn, I get how you used the make-up and the lace sheets to look like ghosts...
Payton: Don’t forget flicking the lights on and off!
Julian: Sure, but how did you make all those candelabras float around in the dining room?
Autumn: What? We didn’t do that!
Nishan: You must’ve! We saw it on the security monitors!
Autumn: I don’t know what you guys saw, but Payton and I didn’t go anywhere near the dining room...
Payton: Or the grody bathrooms! Who wants ghost germs?
Julian: But if you didn’t make the candelabras float, that would mean...
Nishan: It can’t be. That’s scientifically impossible! There’s no way that we actually say a... a...
A chilly wind blows through the trees, followed closely after by a dense, eerie fog rolling in.
Danny: ...a ghost?
At the next house, a figure in a werewolf costume sits with a full candy bowl in his lap. A sign leaning nearby reads ‘Take One’.
Julian: Just one for me.
Autumn: Julian, I expected you to take a handful.
Julian: Eh, I think we’ve all been brave enough for one night. Why risk any more scares?
Nishan calls out from his hiding spot behind a bush.
Nishan: Agreed... er, I mean, no tree mites over here!
Meanwhile, across town, in the dimly lit corridors of Whitechapel Manor... Two ghostly sisters wander the hallways for all eternity, their faces concealed beneath lace sheets. Ever so slightly, they nod in agreement... And seem to smile.
