Choice Text and Results
Leave some gelt
You leave a few coins for the dead. The coins are chocolate, but it's Halloween, so that's just all the better.
You've earned 2 XP in Will
(Lose chocolate gelt)
Offer some plastic coins
You leave a few coins for the dead. The coins are plastic, but they look real enough compared to the prop headstone.
You've earned 4 XP in Will
(Lose plastic coins)
Add an artificial bone
You peel up a bit of carpet. With the bone half exposed through the tear, it actually looks pretty spooky.
You've earned 4 XP in Strength
(Lose artificial bone)
Set out dry ice
You set out a tray of dry ice. Hopefully it'll last until the day of, but even now it reminds you of a chimney or an old smokestack.
You've earned 8 XP in Perception
(Lose dry ice)
Leave a black rose
You leave the black rose in front of the grave. It's… perfect.
You've earned 8 XP in Will
(Lose black rose)
Contemplate death
With ferry faction in the lead?
You sit in front of the grave for a while. It's fake, of course, but still calls back to the oldest traditions… or at least oldest ones that still circulate around Metroplex, with a skeletal ferryman waiting for his payment.
You've earned 2 XP in Perception
With train faction in the lead?
You sit in front of the grave for a while. It's fake, of course, but still sways faintly from movement far below this floor… perhaps even below the building.
It might just be the Metros going by, but something feels very right about the idea of souls in transit.
You've earned 2 XP in Perception
Unearth the dead
You tear at the carpet and even scrape at the underlying concrete some, opening a gap the dead could lie in. Thankfully, or perhaps unfortunately, there aren't actually any bodies there.
You've earned 2 XP in Strength
Leave it be
The timing is a little weird with their boss being out of office, but you've got bigger things to worry about than office Halloween decorations.
