Following Halloween 2011

(Does not consume energy)

Text

Part 1:

You approach the clean up area for the Halloween festivities. It seems to be something of a tradition now, with volunteers finishing up the last few tasks and, of course, dividing the spoils.

Part 2:
-Helper rewards:
If you were one of the top helpers:

Emily, the coordinator, looks up as you approach. She smiles at you warmly. "Well, you certainly earned this," she hands you a shirt. "Far more than most of these slackers," she gestures at the people hard at work cleaning up, a few of whom chuckle.

You found: Emerald Gift STAFF shirt

You found: 5 piles of candy bricks

If you helped set up:

Emily, the coordinator, looks up as you approach. She smiles at you warmly. "Thanks for all your help. At the very least take some candy."

You found: 1-? candy bricks

-Eclipse rewards:
If you were one of the top helpers with Eclipse stashing:

Emily, the coordinator, looks up as you approach. She smiles at you as though she's just at the edge of laughter. "Well, I've never been one for their tastes, but the Emerald Gift fans seemed to think you were the only person doing work worth a damn in there. They got you this."

She hands you a violently green hat stuffed with marshallow bats.

You found: emerald pimp hat

You found: some marshmallow bats

If you helped stash Eclipse:

Emily, the coordinator, looks up as you approach. She glances around and, apparently privy to some organizational scheme you're not, grabs an unlabeled package. "Some of the Emerald Gift fans left this for you."

You found: some marshmallow bats

-Guard rewards:
If you were the top helper with security:

Emily, the coordinator, looks up as you approach. She smiles at you warmly. "Well, the security guys pitched in and got you these," she pours out a clip of candy bullets on the table, "and this," she pins a badge on your shirt.

You found: deputy badge

You found: 9 handfuls of candy bullets

-Punk rewards:
If you were the top helper for the punks:

Emily, the coordinator, looks up as you approach. She shakes her head, "every year the punks try to break everything and it hasn't worked out for them yet. Ah well, at least they gave me this candy for you… and this crowbar. I'll assume it's an inside joke."

You found: scarred crowbar
You found: 7 packets of explosive candy

-If you didn't make much of an impression on any group:

Emily, the coordinator, looks up as you approach. She cocks her head to one side, "I don't remember seeing you around the setup too much, but let me see if anyone's left something for you."

Part 3:
If you were the top contributor in a Halloween Fundraisers category:

She clears her throat, so faintly you can barely hear it, somehow calling the attention of all the surrounding volunteers. "I'd like to present you with the ribbon for your amazing contributions funding the party. We're all in your debt… not literally, I suppose, because the school has all of our debt, but in spirit."

You found: Jess's ribbon

You also definitely deserve one of these.

You found: jack o' lantern projector

If you donated a certain amount to Halloween fundraisers

"Jess tells me you were really throwing your weight around during the fundraising. We got a couple of these while we were worrying about not having projectors for the show. Thankfully, we didn't need them, but I think you should have one." She hands you a small projector of some sort.

You found: jack o' lantern projector

Part 4:

"And thanks to our generous candy donors, we have a little candy left over."

(Or, if you donated to the candy fund):
"And thanks to our generous candy donors, yourself included, we have a couple pieces left over."

You found: ?-37-168-? of: pumpkin lollipop, candy corn, candy eyeball, peanut butter candy

Part 5:
Only if you used at least one headstone ticket before the party started:

She grabs several foam tombstones, each with your name lovingly engraved on it. "Here you go, I think we found all 2-? of them."

(Or, if you used ?-11-17-? of them):
She points you over to a pile of foam tombstones, each lovingly engraved with your name. "Well, there they are, all <x> of them."

(Or, if you used ?-17-21-? of them):
She points you over to a pile of foam tombstones, each lovingly engraved with your name. "Well, there they are, all <x> of them. Need a forklift?" You pick them up and are pleased to discover they're pretty light.
You found: x of: your tombstone (where x is the number of headstone tickets you used before the party started)

Note: There were some bugs in the distribution of this item and perhaps some others. If you got 1 headstone ticket instead of whatever number Emily said, notify Kinak.

Part 6:
Only if you helped the Nurse in Need get through the maze:

"Hmmmm, I know I'm forgetting… right! Someone left this for you, said she really appreciated the help getting in."

You found: faux aid kit

Part 7:
Only if you donated projectors to Janet

"Oh, Janet left some things for you too."

(Or, with more than one item?):
"Oh, Janet left some things for you too. I'm glad you hit it off, she's really very nice under… well, her personality."

You found: skull hologram (if you donated a holographic projector?)

You found: spider hologram (if you donated a second holographic projector?)

You found: writhing hologram (if you donated a third holographic projector?)

? (if you donated additional holographic projectors?)

You found: commemorative laser (if you donated at least one laser projector)

? (if you donated additional laser projectors?)

Part 8:

The building groans behind her like it's twisting in its foundations. She shakes her head and sighs "don't worry about that, it's nothing."


On subsequent visits:

You see the student council and the handful of remaining Halloween volunteers tidying up after the big party.

Periodically, the building groans, as though it's settling into the ground. Whenever it groans, the students nearest it freeze in their tracks.

And, with Etheric active:

During the moment of settling, you can see an eerie green light flickering out from the basement windows. Hmmm.

Otherwise:

You're not an architect but your apartment building makes noises like that all the time. It's definitely not in any immediate danger of collapsing, but they should have it looked at.
