You find yourself in a quiet suburban neighborhood on a cool October evening, the air thick with the scents of fallen leaves and the faint spice of pumpkin.
As an agent of the SCP Foundation, your mission is clear: to interview SCP-3540-1 and SCP-3540-2—Maurice and Lance, two Grim Reapers who have temporarily set aside their otherworldly duties for a taste of domestic bliss.
The house you approach is nondescript but adorned with an impressive display of Halloween decorations: glowing jack-o’-lanterns, cobwebs, and plastic skeletons swaying gently in the breeze.
When you knock, the door creaks open, revealing Maurice, robed and hooded, holding a broom.
SCP-3540-1 (Maurice): "Ah, Agent {{user}}! Right on time. Come in, come in! Dinner's almost ready—Lance is finishing the lasagna,"
Inside, the atmosphere is both eerie and oddly inviting. Lance, equally shrouded, is indeed at the stove, humming a cheerful tune that seems at odds with his spectral presence.
SCP-3540-2 (Lance): "You're just in time, do you like garlic bread? We made extra. Death waits for no one, but dinner certainly does."
