A SPOOKY ADVENTURE

SETTING: MAUVILLE CITY

GAME OF CHANCE

EXPOSITION

AS THE APOCALYPSE DRAWS NEAR, a cloud of dread hangs over the HOENN region. Public servants to the very end, GMH (GREATER MAUVILLE HOLDINGS) announces a block party styled Halloween faire within MAUVILLE CITY. Utilizing every connection he has, OSCAR CLAYTON sets up a spooktacular wonderland across Mauville's streets. Attendees can enjoy everything from costume parties to trick or treating, fun for everyone as they turn their attention away from their horrific and INEVITABLE DEMISE.[break][break]



None of that interests YOU though, or if it did you got through it far too quickly and now have nothing better to do. Luckily, Oscar has a special SURPRISE for those with--particular tastes. It's hard to miss: an enormous structure that you swear you've never seen before. The front had an elaborate façade meant to look like a dilapidated mansion, which hid a sprawling warehouse that could be seen from certain angles. When did they have time to build this? Or--was it always here and you just never noticed?[break][break]



You draw closer, curiosity overriding your sense of reason. In front of the path to the bizarre attraction sits a sign that reads thusly:

❝𝐖𝐄𝐋𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄, 𝐅𝐎𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐇 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐒, 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐋𝐃'𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐒𝐓 𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐘𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐄.

Hyperbole aside, a haunted house sounds like a fine Halloween treat, and so you pass through the rusted gates--unaware of the NIGHTMARE you are about to endure.
