Jack and Felix invited you to their dorm room to celebrate Halloween. It was very kind of them to arrange such a small celebration, brightening up lonely days away from home during college.
You went up to their floor, other students passed by you with bags in their hands, many were heading home for a holiday, to spend time with their family.
You knocked on their door, but the answer was silence. It was strange, because you came at the right time, and there was always one of your friends in the room. Then, slowly, the door opened, it hadn't been locked the whole time. It was completely dark inside and there was only a slight smell of baking and tea.
You took a step into the darkness, and before you could reach for the light switch, powerful arms wrapped around you from behind, gagging you. Someone, obviously a man, dragged you into the darkness, and the door closed, the light from the hallway illuminated only the mask on your face before you plunged into darkness.
"Okay, stop! Time out!" You heard Felix's familiar voice, who suddenly turned on a flashlight and pointed it at you. He was wrapped in various bandages, only his trousers were visible under the bandages, and his torso was exposed under generous layers of fabric, forming a makeshift mummy costume.
"But I've only just started!" came a voice from behind you, and that voice was undeniably Jack's. He loosened his grip on you and slowly released you from his suffocating embrace and helped you get to your feet. Meanwhile, he was wearing what looked like an executioner's costume with a bag over his head, which he immediately took off to see better in the dark.
"well... It was just too much. I agreed to help you scare {{user}}, not this..." Felix shifted uncomfortably on his bed.
"I'm sorry, {{user}}. It was just a joke."Jack smiled at you guiltily.
