Much of the month has passed without incident; it seems that Riki's intercession on the residents' parts has bought them some slight reprieve. However, nothing lasts forever, and towards the end of the month that will become apparent.
On the morning of October 20, some of the Tower residents will find a note and a plastic bowl on their bedside tables:
From that day on until 11:59 PM on October 25, characters who are signed up will be able to search the Tower for candy and gather it up. Different types of candy can be found on different floors, and the exact methods of searching will determine the amount found each day. The plastic bowl cannot be removed from the table, but depositing the gathered candy in it will keep it from disappearing. Unfortunately, if any candy is not stored in these bowls, it will disappear at exactly 12:01 AM on October 26, and the only candy that will remain within the Tower will be the candy that other characters stored in their bowls.
On the nights of October 26-31, characters will discover why they have been gathering candy. Between sundown and midnight, shadow children will be drawn to them regardless of where they are - they'll knock on the doors if the characters happen to already be in their dorm rooms, and will simply materialize inside them if they don't answer; if they're elsewhere in the Tower, they'll begin following them around. Characters will have to lead the shadow children up to their rooms to retrieve the candy. They'll want very specific types of candy, and if your character can't - or won't - provide them with their treats, they'll get a trick in return. These tricks will range from mild psychological horror to death.

You'd better stock up on candy while you can! They get awfully hungry, you know! ❤
