With as crazy as October has been, Darin and Allura were right to believe that people needed a little something to unwind. Last year's Halloween festivities at Helix Station were certainly fun, but this year something bigger and more fun was brewing.

Having rented a huge warehouse adjacent to his Forge complex in Nonah, Darin and Allura went to work fixing the place up for a big Halloween ball, gala, and costume party! Anyone who's anyone received an invite, which means that everyone got an invite! And using Altean prototype hard light holographic technology (patent pending) this warehouse has been transformed into a gigantic, spooky manor! The fog hangs low, the moon is way too big for this longitude, and all sorts of sounds and eerie lights permeate the air. Come in formal ball dress, a spooky costume, or put no effort into a costume at all and try and pass it off as some sort of social commentary!

Inside, there's a huge dance floor lined by tables which is also framed by buffet tables brimming with food and treats. And thanks to the hard light hologram tech at work, your dance partner might be your date or a monster pretending to be your date! Doors open and close ominously, ghosts appear on the dance floor, and vampires skulk in the shadows! It's all good-natured spooky fun!

...Until midnight, that is.

At midnight, a bug in the hologram's programming deletes all of the exits and shutters all of the windows! And those seemingly harmless spooks and monsters become a tad more on the aggressive side. Secret passageways that lead to random rooms in the 'manor' start separating everyone. The new goal? Can you last 24 hours? Sure you can. It's not like anything is really gonna kill you.

But watch out for that grand piano down on the ballroom floor. It's got a bit of a mean streak.
