Event: Trick or Treat; Part One

[animusmods]

Over the next few days, characters may wake up to a bit of a surprise--instead of whatever they went to sleep in, they'll find themselves in costumes of all sorts. Either sitting on top of the trunk at the foot of their beds or, if they participated in the Hitori Kakurenbo event in February, in the laps of the teddy bears, is a plastic pumpkin with a note taped to the front:

Collect candy, or else!
10th - 5, 11th - 10, 12th - 15, 13th - 20
♥

Characters will find there appears to be candy scattered everywhere right now, hidden in corners and showering down after monsters are killed. So at least this week, while everyone is getting used to it, there isn't any shortage of candy, which is good: the longer you go without fulfilling the collected candy quota for the day, the tighter and more painful (even if you're inorganic) your costume becomes. If you do not collect the full quota for the day, your torso will be crushed entirely by your costume. And when you wake up, you'll come back--wrong. Warped and twisted with a more realistic version of whatever you were dressed up as now taking the place of parts of your body, you'll behave as a darker version of whatever the costume you were wearing was. And while you can resist it now, it will get more and more difficult to fight the urge to act like the costume that killed you as the month wears on...

Players will have until 11:59PM EST October 13 to sign their characters up for this. Characters may wake up with a costume at any time between now and then, and will be expected to fill the candy quota for the day they are currently on. There is no shortage of candy this week only.

To count toward the candy quota, the candy must be inside the plastic pumpkin and not consumed. Eating a piece of candy will temporarily revert the costume's tightness to normal for one hour, but after an hour it will revert back and tighten more to make up for the one hour lost (unless you meet the quota before then).

REMINDER: Characters must be an expy (Catwoman would be Felinewoman, think cheap knockoff costume) OR generic costume OR dresssed as someone from the tower.

To sign up, post here.
If your character dies of being crushed by their costume, post here.

Character Name: [OU] Marty McFly deloreandriver
Day Died: the 14th
Costume: Cheesy 1950s style Cowboy.

Marty's outfit is just as cheesy as ever, but it looks like he's been trampled to death in a stampede and somehow come back out of it anyway; there's mud, blood, and numerous tears, and his arms and legs seem to be completely mangled--how he's walking is a mystery, but it's extremely painful to do so. He has been given a pop-gun style pistol that somehow fires real bullets.

Marty will feel as if someone is responsible for his current state--and he'll blame anyone near him for it. He will, in his anger, attempt to kill them, either by getting them torn to pieces by monsters or shooting them.
