ROUND 4 DAY 4 - HAUNTED HOUSE PARTY

[snackcakeordeath]

[For some reason, you feel good today...stronger. Which is great, maybe you're just psyched up for the latest ~fabulous event~ cooking from the ConAgra-McKee Foods kitchens...

[The Newlydead Game^TM ✨Super-Special✨ 👻Spooktacular🎃! 🗡Murdermance💘 at the 💀Murder Manse🏚!

[The house is a huge, Victorian monstrosity straight out of the mental idea of an Edgar Allen Poe story--delicate wrought-iron chandeliers and candelabra hanging from vaulted ceilings; ornately carved molding and flocked wallpapers, mosaics and inlaid wood floors. Most of the rooms seem legitimately old, cobwebbed and musty, with dusty dropcloths laid over the faded furniture, and distressing shadows cast in the flickering candlelight that never fails to not light up every corner, no matter how many candles are set up. You're not sure how the cameras are picking all this up with how dark it is. You honestly wouldn't be surprised if some of the taps in the bathroom actually run blood. A few of the rooms are locked, in particular a few bedrooms on the upper floors, and a heavy door off the mud room that's chained and padlocked; presumably it leads to a cellar.

[The exception to this is the conservatory, the one large room in a building filled with tiny, closed off rooms. One wall is lined with massive paned windows, another a huge fireplace, the others covered in stern portraits and other random Victorian-area knick knacks. And sprinkled around all of that are Halloween decorations, the kind more Pottery Barn than Party City. It's set for a party, complete with games like bobbing for apples and a spread of fancy Halloween "finger" foods and drinks that glow under black light. A playlist of seasonal hits like Spooky or The Addams Family Groove toots along near a dance floor. Need an outfit for the costume contest? There's plenty. There's also a smoke machine and a photo booth. In the backyard is a corn maze.]

Hellooo contestants, guess what time it isss? Why, it's only the best time of the year for sweeties like us! Time for Pumpkin Delights and Black Cat Brownies, the perfect treats to give to your trick-or-treaters this year! Now, even though someone's given US a trick today, we've provided a treat for you--a Halloween ball! Play with your fellow Casanovas, make your best impressions, and grab your favorite Sexy Pizza Rat cosplay! At the end, you'll get to choose from all the remaining contestants for your Marry-Kiss-Kill. And remember what we talked about last night--this time, if you deal to make it even, you're all going to be punished!

[With murder, Swiss Miss adds. In case you weren't quite sure.]

You mean leave chucks of it? That might work if we peel it, so we can tell it hasn't just fallen of or...

[Breaks off another bit. Then stabs it vertically into the ground. Hopefully the ground is soft enough for it to stay standing.]

[snackcakeordeath]

[Congratulations. You have a half-buried corn.]

[Something rustles up the path to the left.]

[Bristles. THINGS HAVE BEEN SCURRYING AND RUSTLING AT HIM ALL DAY IT SEEMS and none of it has been anything he WANTED to fight.]

Let's go to the right.

[streetwolf]

What just turn our backs on it?

[talktothestand]

[He was joining Wayne in taking a few peeled corns and stabbing them into the ground in hope sit'd help them keep track of their trecking... and then he hears that. He's tense as hell. ]

U-uh. yeah, let's. It sounds like it's the farthest away from whatever the hell that was.

[you_like_ike]

Wayne, if you want to face it, I'll join you. But if it's anything like what I've run into earlier, it'll just be a nuisance.

[streetwolf]

[Jogs back, he doesn't even seem to be afraid.]

Tch- You already seen something like it?

[you_like_ike]

I broke into a couple locked rooms. There were things moving around, but it was just that-- things. Lightweight items in the shape of bones and bodies that moved at us but didn't hurt. I felt that someone was toying with us...

[Suddenly, Akechi zooms by, blazing his own path with a lightsaber and followed by Yusuke. Both of their costumes have improved drastically, and neither seem to notice you. You're free to follow them if you wish, though that takes the fun out of the maze, don't you think?]
