Announcement: Happy Halloween, everyone! As is the case every year, Halloween is a special out of character day. Random masks will be forced upon you throughout the day, but if you prefer not to be subjected to rapid changes of identity, you have options! First, you can go to "Styx in the MUD" on Pax where you can keep your regular name. Second, you can go to the costume palace on Acosta and buy a custom costume. As long as you're wearing it, your mask will not change to a random one. If you have any other custom costumes such as those from previous costume contests, those costumes will also work. Don't forget to say "trick or treat" to receive some delicious candy! If you want to relive the thrill of going trick-or-treating, you can visit the various ships in the starship museum on Varoshna, knock on the display starships, and receive fabulous treats! Also, watch out for the ghost of Rory Hurricane! Finally, buy a candy bucket or bag on Acosta to store your treats, and make sure it's in your hand when you receive them! Anyone who is currently out of comms may return for the day by typing HALLOWEEN. Have fun!
