[typed from hotel lobby]
Alright, it's about time we sort this October stuff out. Those of you who are new or who don't know the deal about this month in camp, it goes something like this:
On this planet there's a festival of sorts, to honour the dead. It's held at the end of this month, and is pretty light-hearted - there's effigy pyres and parties and one tradition where kids dress up and go collect candy from all the nearby houses with a cry of 'Trick or Treat'. Which means that if they don't get any, they can play a trick on that house. Camp really likes tricks. Trouble is, during October, it goes into overdrive and they tend to be... more of the 'distressing' or 'temporarily lethal' variety than anything. Couple of times we've had camp outright attacked by a bunch of stuff, mass hallucination events, things that go bump in the night, monsters, the whole deal.
In light of that, I'll be opening up the hotel's lobby as a shelter of sorts in case people suddenly can't get around or need someplace to go - we've not many actual rooms left, but we sure have temporary crash space if you don't mind the floor. If I could get some guys to volunteer to guard the place and maybe be on hand to heal people throughout October, that'd be helpful. If you end up not being needed, at least you get to say you were prepared. By the same token, it'd help to know who's of a mind to help out, either by patrolling or else getting around by flying or teleports or other unusual methods, or anyone who owns a defensible location. Guys in the hotel, sorry, but you'll have to deal with this; it's part of your lease contract, you could say.
(OOC: Back tomorrow!)
