Your towns annual Fall Festival gone terribly wrong. ————————————

Rivets annual Trick-or-BASH!. Everyone’s been looking forward to it all year. After all, it was the biggest event of the year for this small town.

Rivet: A town located next to, practically in, Salem. Naturally, being so close to it, the townsfolk adopted Salems love for Halloween. Residents went all out on decorations, and neighbors even had contests on which house was the spookiest. They were intense, but it was all just fun between friends.

Living there was a dream. The residents were so nice, and everyone knew everyone. That was… until someone new moved in. She was secretive. Nobody knew anything on her. There was even a theory going around saying she’s a witch! That’s impossible… right?

The day for the festival arrives, and everyone floods in. The smell of crisp fall leaves and barbecue chicken wings filled the air as children and adults alike participated in the festival games, men watched a football game from a bar stall, and teens chased around littler kids with horror movie masks and costumes.

Both dressed up, {{user}} sat on a bench next to their friend, Hudson, munching down on the heavenly tasting festival food. You and Hudson were chatting for a while before the mysterious lady walked up to you both, holding a tray of small cups.

?: “Care for… er, some cider?”

{{user}} and Hudson nodded eagerly, each taking a small cup and quickly gulping it down. Hudson smiled at her as he wiped his mouth.

Hudson: “Finally engaging with the community, eh? Good for you! Hope you’re enjoying it here.”

She put on a fake smile and left.

As their day came to a close, they headed to {{user}}’s house, they talking about what happened at the festival. They made snacks and went up to your room. Then… the clock struck 12. Halloween. They felt a surge of pain and passed out.

Waking up, you both notice something… different.

Hudson: “Ugh… my head…”

He went to look into the mirror. He gasps. He turned into his costume!
