HAPPY HALLOWEEN from HOTEL MULTIVERSE AT THE EDGE OF THE COSMOS BETWEEN CANONS™ Guests who find themselves partaking in the Hotel's amenities quickly find some tricks afoot. The decor is first, neon lights changing to autumnal oranges, garish greens, and ghoulish purples overnight. Those who peruse the shops will find them stocked with masks and costumes, and the ambient music which plays throughout the ship is punctured by blood-curdling sound effects such as screams and anxiety-inducing musical stingers. This is Halloween. Those who utilize the Hotel-provided devices will find an ad splashed across their screens. Similarly, TVs, phones connected to the network, and flyers posted will read: "FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF OUR GUESTS, HOTEL MULTIVERSE AT THE EDGE OF THE COSMOS BETWEEN CANONS™ IS HAPPY TO PROVIDE HALLOWEEN-THEMED ENTERTAINMENT." Staff members' uniforms change, with employees adding costume pieces to them as the weeks wear on. Guests are strongly encouraged to put together a costume with pieces from the shops, but those who opt out will instead find one of the standard options (listed at the bottom of this post) and chosen at random (by googling "rng 1-19") in their wardrobe. After dark (or, what would be dark), the ship transforms into a hotel of horrors, the following chaos breaking loose: TRICK-OR-TREATING Costumed guests are welcome to partake in trick-or-treating with the ship's staff, who can be found with carts of candy in common areas. Guests are also offered flags for their doorknobs to indicate that they have candy available in the rooms if they would like to partake as well. SCAREZONES Grab a map from the concierge or walk the halls at random, but don't be surprised if a staff member jumps at you from the shadows! HAUNTED HOUSE Guests using the hotel app will find numerous ads alerting them to a haunted house that's overtaken one of the hotel floors (and honestly, the ads are impressive, opening as an emergency alert to a runaway alien), and the hotel itself plasters the attraction across its screens and walls overnight as well. Obviously, a haunted house is a great thing to do after you've had a ton to drink, or a great way to meet fellow guests (whether or not you're reaching for their hand in fright). However, to ensure the safety of all team members and guests, do not make physical contact with any member of our cast. Remember: the actors' intention is to frighten you. HORROR MOVIE MARATHON Guests hoping to keep things a bit more low key might find what they're looking for in the hotel's movie theater and lounges, which offer 24/7 horror movie marathons ranging from the classic to the avant garde. A programming guide can be found outside of each respective screening or on the app. Film buffs will be delighted at the hotel's library, but don't be surprised if your niche fave is banished to a graveyard slot. MASQUERADE The hotel's ballrooms are open late for those guests interested in keeping the revelry going night after night. Just don't let the anonymity of your costumes take you too terribly far (or, I mean, do what you want, everyone has a room, after all). If you aren't able to purchase a costume or aren't feeling inspired, no problem! Our courteous staff have taken the liberty of providing you with a courtesy costume, free of charge, to allow you to participate in the event. You will receive one of the following at random: 01: Ghost 02: Alien 03: Devil 04: Superhero (Your Choice!) 05: Skeleton 06: Pumpkin 07: Zombie 08: Vampire 09: Clown 10: Mummy 11: Werewolf 12: Black Cat 13: Pirate 14: Frankenstein's Monster 15: Witch 16: Spider 17: Bunny 18: Bat 19: Angel

Masquerade

"That is so not your colour, mate," she said with a laugh. She was wearing the best she could do at making a costume of an emojibot. She wasn't the best at costume creation. Her face was totally sticking out from the neck, bit she had rigged up a screen for the costume's "face" to change what emoji it was showing. Right now it was a tounge out wink.

What? She added her own flavor.

[familyalien]

"Sorry, was that suppose to be a funny - thing?"

[tears_of_hope]

"Oh come on, this is hilarious. And look, I can do this." She tapped her small control panel and the eyes went grumpy emoji. "Look, it's your grumpy face. Only without the dying," she said, grinning.

[familyalien]

"Yeah, I don't like my grumpy face anymore, Bill. That was that me. Me, I don't mind smiling."

Like when he did when he saw her for the first time.

[tears_of_hope]

She smiled and swapped the emojis to smiling faces, but said "aw, I like both faces myself. You'd get all scrunched up and grumpy like the perfect little old grandfather. It was adorable. For a bloke who is waaay too old for anyone my age, anyway."

[familyalien]

"I don't like you like that Bill. Don't worry. But thank you for thinking that was adorable."

[tears_of_hope]

"Of course. I'd give you a hug, but in this costume even I think that may be a bit far, yeah?"

[familyalien]

"Don't think it will be a problem, me."

[tears_of_hope]

"No? What really? You're just okay with me looking like this an giving you a hug?"

[familyalien]

"Yes. Because I know you're inside."

[tears_of_hope]

"Aw, Doctor. You just can't help being sweet, even when I look like a monster." She gave him a hug as best the costume allowed.

[familyalien]

"Oh humans, just because something looks scary doesn't mean it is. Or vice versa." He hugs her back.

[tears_of_hope]

"Wish they would have listened to you about that back when I was shoved into a tin can..."

[familyalien]

"Yeah, unfortunately it's something that has to be experienced."

[tears_of_hope]

"Yeah, just as happy not to make anyone else have to go through that."

[familyalien]

"And hopefully no one has too."

[tears_of_hope]

"Cheers to that. But... what now, Doctor?"
