Okay, so! tsundelta and pedokinesis have a little... history together regarding Halloween. More specifically, at their last game, tl;dr, they ran a mansion halloween party, cut the lights and locked the doors at midnight, and filled the whole place with (fake) corpses, stealing the real people and hiding them off for the night. The surviving would be locked in the mansion, either in fear that it would strike again or the detective types would try to solve the mystery of whodunnit and why.
That Halloween was easy mode. It was easy to pass off on the setting (which would do random things like that) come morning, so the culprits were never officially caught or named. Let's say the two want to up the ante this Halloween (or close to it, a party is a party.) GB, we want to give you a very special Halloween. And nothing says Halloween, film or party, like watching friends and acquaintances get dragged off into the darkness one by one and discovering their bodies.
• The two culprits will not appear to be involved in the party whatsoever. They have means of Esper/Witchy disguise on their side. People who can sense this kind of stuff: Lambda knows better than to tempt fate with people she doesn't know too well as a whole-- magic will be strongly masking their identities. It'll go from hiding it to near-nonexistance to so much interference it's hard to pick out a signal from anywhere or anyone. It'll stay masked up until the party, OR if someone gets suspicious about it and wants to go snooping around. Then it'll go full-blown interference.
• The two of them know they're dealing with a harder crowd so they'll be upping the ante. As far as this party is going to be told, it's going to be a ship-wide costume party sponsored by various companies. Lambda will be forwarding credits in disguise to companies so that your characters can have some paid days off. You know, to attend.
• They'll announce it a week or so before. Costume party, free food and drinks. A little break from the Silent Hill planet! Just what you needed, right? Except someone's going to hit the lights at midnight, and someone's going to end up dead.
Wait, what?
• Well, not really. This is the same gimmick that Lambdadelta pulled at her last 'party.' She can create a complete copy of a corpse, down to the bloodmeats, create a crime scene and closed rooms. They will be identical copies of the actual people, were they bodies. Detectives, you're going to have a magnificent field day. I mean, if these aren't your friends. Then it's just a field day. Hyobu, being able to manipulate his appearance, will be casually strolling around the party, tossing out suspicions disguised as other people, turning you kind folks against each other... so on.
There will be five 'kills' within the night. I'll post a write-up for the crime scene for you detective types closer to the holiday.
The actual victims (the non-fake corpses), will be transported out of the mansion and knocked out for the night. They'll wake up in a random place of the Thor, completely fine, if being a bit hazy on the memory front. We will need volunteers for the five 'victims'!
• Now is a good time to mention after Midnight, the party area will be on lockdown. No door smashing, window prying, or vent-kicking will get you out of there. However, those of you who are really in tune with magic will be able to tell this isn't the Drive event, but the work of some pretty powerful magic.
• Come 6 A.M., the doors will unlock and you'll be free to go. You'll probably make contact with 'victims' safe and sound and everything seems to be one scary prank.
But do you leave it there, or do you have something to solve?
Okay, we need volunteers for this one! Who wants to have their character knocked out and fake-dead for a night? We'll need five people. The night after, you'll wake up safe and sound and relatively unharmed except for a headache and a hard time recalling much of anything the previous night.
