Late-Nite Double Feature...

Happy Halloween from Costa Serena!

Strange happenings have been noticed by locals and tourists alike as Halloween grows near. Anything can happen in the shadows, from the truly scary to the outright absurd. Each of our residents has had something spooky catch their eye in the past week, and we’d love to hear about it.

Below is a list of gruesome (and not-so-gruesome) goings on. Please choose one per character and find a partner to hash out the plot with. We advise that as much as possible, you reach out to various members for plot partners instead of the same person each time. Also, if you have another Halloween type plot you’d like to do instead, feel free to run it by us! Plots will begin on Friday, October 25th, and end on Tuesday, November 5th. There will also be a poll in the near future for date/time of the Halloween Bash. Happy haunting!

Scary:

Muse A is home alone, about to fall asleep, when they hear a sudden movement under their bed. It is Muse B, breaking into their house, but Muse A assumes it is just their pet, the wind, etc.

Muse A is sitting at home, and starts to receive strange phone calls in the middle of the night. The calls are harmless at first, but begin to make Muse A extremely uncomfortable. They eventually learn that the calls are coming from Muse B, who is upstairs.

At an art show, Muse A buys a sad but enticing painting that was found in the ashes of a burned building. As soon as they bring it home, however, they begin to notice supernatural activity and grow obsessed with the painting. Muse B suggests they get rid of the painting, and Muse A becomes alarmingly defensive.

Both muses receive a scary story in a chain email, with a warning at the end that if they don’t share it with their friends, they will not survive the night. Muse A ignores it, but calls Muse B in a panic when later that night they begin to see and hear strange things inside their home.

Upon hearing an old ghost story about a local tunnel haunted by the ghost of a maniac, two muses investigate.

Two muses have just finished a date when their car breaks down near an empty gas station. Muse A decides to get out and check on the car, when Muse B notices someone circling them.

Muse A is driving late at night when they see Muse B limping down the road with town clothes and a battered face. Muse B holds their arm out for a ride, and Muse A stops, despite the strange feeling in their stomach.

After buying a creepy game online, both muses try summoning a spirit at night, putting them in danger until the sun rises.

Funny:

While carving pumpkins, Muse A decided it would be a good idea to stick their head inside one. Needless to say, it was not their best decision. Muse B must now figure out how to free Muse A.

Muse A and Muse B both want the same prop for their costume, but there’s only one left in the store and less than 24 hours until the Halloween party.

Both muses decide to hang out in the cemetery on Halloween night, but somehow accidentally knock over a tombstone and could get arrested and/or cursed by the angry souls of the dead.

There was no good candy left at the store, so both muses have to decide whether to give out a bag of mints they think is from two years ago, or just random stuff from the house.

In the midst of decorating for Halloween, Muse A has become tangled in the fake webs and may be stuck there for life if Muse B doesn’t come to save them.

Both muses show up to the Halloween party in the same costume, and must fright to the death because “there can only be one.”

Muse A has dressed up like Muse B and Muse B is not amused.

Muse A has been trying all day to jump scare Muse B, but Muse B has bones of steel and isn’t afraid of anything, except...
