Resting (3 Midgard Security)	Midgard Security doesn't seem interested in letting you rest, particularly as they seem to assume you're leaving more work for them.	Gain 10 HP ^{+10% per FA}
Resting (REM Timer)	You secure yourself in a bathroom stall and turn on the REM timer. It's not glamorous, but at least nobody bothers you.	Gain 20 HP

^{UNDEAD TYRANT}	As you wander through the maze of machinery and storage closets, you hear a thump… followed shortly by another. As you try to find the source of the thumps, a tremendous screech echoes through the halls and a skeletal shape bursts from the shadows. You've gained 20 duration of Primeval Terror.
^{THE PUMPKIN KING}	You see a faint movement out of the corner of your eye and notice some swaying vines, carrying countless small pumpkins. It looks like they're growing there naturally, despite the lack of soil and sunlight. As you consider this oddity, one of the pumpkins cracks, opening its face into a jagged grin as it tears a body free from the vines.	With 100+ Halloween Spirit
^{2 GHOULS}	A nearby wall bulges. As you withdraw a few steps, you can see a light shining from inside of it, red behind a network of arteries and a pair of curled humanoid shapes.
