Event: If You Don't; Part Two
As those who are participating in the event wake up on the morning of the 26th, they'll see clawing hands at the edges of their vision that dart away as soon as they're fully awake. Maybe it was just a lingering dream? But there's another note left for them to find:
There is a drawing of a heart at the bottom of the paper, as usual for notes received during Ruana's games, though it's wet and red and appears to be fresh blood.
Still nothing, will happen until the sun begins to set. Once it does, skittering, shifting shadow children will come out to play, tracking down one of the characters participating in the game. They will request a specific kind of candy--not with a normal voice, but with a penetrating, tearing sort of mental intrusion. This is what all that candy you've been collecting is for.
The catch, however, is that they won't be especially straightforward about how they make their requests. They will ask in the form of riddles. These will start out simply enough, but they get harder every day--and they request more and more candy every day as well. Once one of the shadow children has made its request, the character has until 11:59PM to acquire the proper amount of the right candy. If they give the wrong kind of candy, don't have enough, or don't give them anything at all, there will be consequences.
Each time a shadow child's request for a treat is denied, the shadow child plays a trick on the one who refused it. This will start out with lasting mental tricks--paranoia, a sudden kleptomania for the candy of others, inexplicable fear, that sort of thing. However, continuing to deny a request will lead to worse and worse consequences, up to and including death. The severity of the trick depends on how much the shadow child was denied: it's better to give them some of their request than nothing at all.
Any character who is killed by the shadow children as a result of this event will remain dead until the end of this event.
In order to receive your riddles, reply to the log made for this event under the appropriate night. A shadow child will give your character a riddle. Reply to the shadow child once you have decided if your character has the candy, if they only have some of the candy, or if they don't have any of it in time, and we will reply back with any consequences. Make sure to note where your character got the candy they are using, as we are keeping track of how much candy is available for this event.

also I guess I'm about to find this out, but how do shadow children react to being given candy in installments, like "here's some of X candy wait while I steal the rest from my neighbor"?

Re: QUESTIONS
If a character happens to pick up a normal-shadow-child follower, would they be able to tell them from the candy requester?
