[When Rokurou was told about the Halloween costumes and saw his options, he immediately took to what was described as a "demon samurai," complete with horns. Those are interesting to deal with, but he is definitely having fun with this. Helps that his markings fit perfectly with it. Along with going around the fair itself, he gets roped into helping with one of the activities. But it sounds fun and he has ideas so it'll be great.

In charge of a "spooky" version of a scavenger hunt, Rokurou is stationed right outside of town at the edge of the forest. There's a dimly lit trail to lead to the site with several people already engaged in what's going inside. There are definitely a lot of screams but also laughter within the woods, so at least people are having a good time.

Note: Anyone is free to use the basic or advanced level for your own thing with someone else! Rokurou is only participating in the extreme level, but he can also be asked to help for the others if someone wants to do it with him. But he won't cheat so it'll mostly be him watching.]

[Since he has to be family friendly, there is one section of the forest that's a bit more on the "easy" and "silly" side. There are plenty of spooky and creepy decorations along with puppets that pop out at various locations.]

This is the easy route. All you have to do is follow the hints and search through the forest to find as many items as you can in half an hour. Seriously, this is the kid level—you sure you want to do this one?

[Maybe the kids are the ones they have to watch out for... There will be a lot of extra pranks in place, so be on your guard!]

[Now this? This is the fun one that Rokurou may have had too much of a hand in and may have met with some protests from the locals. But it's fiiine. Not only is he a daemon, but also a Huntsman. Totally fiiiine.

As Rokurou explains this route of the hunt, his eyes are gleaming a little more than they probably should.]


For those after some real game, this is the one you want. There's a lot of people attending this festival and that means a lot of hungry mouths. To help the cooks, we have a regulated "hunting" zone where you track down and hunt any of the following animals on this list. Don't worry, they're all game and won't be wasted. I heard that some of the animals need to be culled, and some will be stored for their winter. The big game will be deer and boar, but gotta stick with the numbers listed. If you hunt more than you should...well I'm sure you don't one of the Horsemen to find you.

[A devious grin.]

That said, this is the wilder section of the woods. There are other wild animals out there so don't head out too far. And who knows. There might be something else out there hunting around.

[OoooOooOoOh.

There are other dangers to keep an eye out for, which are all listed on the list and the map provided. Pitfalls, some spooky traps early on, etc. But this is mostly hunting focused. Types of animals are the classic, like rabbit, pheasant and other fowl (especially turkey), deer, etc.]

[This could happen anywhere in the woods. When you're sticking close to the shadows focusing on finding the next item on the list, or even if you're just going through the outskirts of the faire or by the forest and not even part of the scavenger hunt. But before you realize it, the light has grown dim, the shadows deepen, and an eerie silence fills the air before its broken by an ominous sound...

Clop clop clop clop

Should you turn and look, someone in dark armor riding a black horse is suddenly there. At first they just stand staring at you before the horse suddenly moves forward. It starts at a walk, but then it quickly turns into a fast canter. The rider leans forward, reaching back to pull out a sword and it's then that you can clearly see—there is no head.

If not frozen in fear, perhaps you will run. Should the rider catch up to you, it will swing that sword—but the aim is at various well placed prop pumpkins which will dump orange and black confetti and silly string all over. At that point a maybe familiar laugh will be heard.

Should anyone try to fight, however, they will be met with a force so strong and full of energy, it's like the "headless" horseman is excited to have someone challenge it.

So which will you choose?

(Spoilers: the horseman is Rokurou. It won't be easy to tell at first as he's using a different sword for the runs, but if engaged in battle it'll be more apparent.)]

[Rokurou will be up to pretty much everything the faire is offering when not being part of the scavenger hunt, so feel free to hit me with any of the other prompts!]
