Late one night you find yourself wandering through the Grimllyn Woods, the light of the twin full moons filtering through the dense canopy above. It’s All Hallows’ Eve, and while you were looking for some spooky happenings, the smell of spices and the sounds of shrieks and laughter coming from deep in the woods caught your attention.
Your path is lit by assorted candles, lanterns, and decorations featuring all manner of spooky creatures of the night. Despite the chill in the air and the goosebumps creeping up your spine, you feel warm and happy among the fixtures. Looking from side to side, you pass through a tangled archway of tree branches and paper cutouts of bats.
Brushing the paper bats aside, you emerge into a clearing filled with booths, games, and shrieking and laughing bebs of all ages! There are dozens of places to stop and chat with bebs and humans, and activities galore!
Spotting you from the middle of the clearing, a leafy mowl and a sparkly beblune make their way over to greet you.
Good tidings. Call us Lafe and Leo, gorgeous, and allow us to welcome you to the place to be this Halloween!

You pass by a small stage and find Lafe lounging upon it. He’s surrounded by fake cobwebs and jack-o-lanterns with magical candles of all different colors. He looks you up and down before clicking his tongue - Wait... Does he even have a tongue?
“You’re just a tad underdressed for this soirée, sweetie,” he murmurs, his voice low and slow. “Feel free to stop by again once you’ve dressed for the occasion.” He hands you a flier with more information on the costume contest and waves you away, content to go back to his lounging.

Upon approaching a booth labeled ‘Bobbing for Apples’, Jazz pops their head up from behind the counter and smiles at you.
“Oh! Hey there! Here to bob for some apples?” They ask, their tail swishing towards a large barrel filled with water and... Apples? Well, at least most of them look like apples.
“Just be careful, I accidentally spilled some of my other supplies in there!” The tsurex adds, a nervous look washing over their face.
How It Works:
Draw or write about your beblune bobbing for apples! Jazz will gladly give you some candies in exchange for the apple you get! And if you’re lucky enough to pull something other than an apple, you get to keep that instead!
Requirements:
A colored halfbody with a simple background of your beblune bobbing for an apple!

Rewards:

Between some of the trees you spot large cutouts of relatively poorly drawn corn on long panels of wood. They’re fastened to the trees in what appears to be a relatively large maze. Near the entrance sits Roswell, appearing extremely pleased with himself. You approach and his gaze snaps to you quickly.
“Greetings Taunarian! I’m Roswell!” He pipes out, the excitement in his voice nearly causing it to crack. “I made a corn maze! Please give it a try! Unfortunately it’s not real corn, there were no fields nearby that farmers were willing to let me steal from - but I feel like I’ve done a good job capturing the essence of corn.”
How It Works:
Draw or write about your beblune traversing the corn maze. Are they a master of finding their way- or did they get hopelessly lost merely five steps into the maze?
Requirements:
A colored fullbody with a simple background of your beblune in the corn maze!
Writing must be at least 1000 words.
Rewards:
Each entry will earn you 3 candies!
At the center of the festivity-filled clearing, a huge bonfire is cheerfully crackling away. It's clearly a massive fire hazard - both figuratively and literally - but even so, you approach the crowd gathered around it.
Half a dozen beblune sit on logs around the fire, toasting treats on long sticks. As you circle the fire, you suddenly falter as a gargantuan mowl comes into view. At least, you think it's a mowl?!
It turns and you meet its many eyes. Your legs shake as it leans down, huge teeth gleaming in the firelight, and... Gives you a pleasant smile?
"Hello, friend," he says, and his voice is so soft that you'd struggle to hear it if he wasn't leaning down. "I'm Timor, and this is my boy, Yael."
You see a small, one eyed floon waving to you from his lap.
"Do you wanna join us? We're telling scary stories!" Yael chirps excitedly.
Now, how could you say no to such a sweet little face?
How It Works:
Draw or write about your beblune sitting around the fire, either telling or listening to a scary story! Are they a bubble blowing baby, or do they have nerves of steel?
Requirements:
A colored halfbody with a simple background of your beblune telling or listening to a scary story!
Writing must be at least 750 words.
Reward:
Each entry will earn you 2 candies!
You can get 1 bonus candy by writing the scary tale your beblune tells/hears!
Scary stories must be at least 700 words, and shouldn't be too gruesome. Keep it M-rated folks!
As you wander the carnival, you see a booth practically overflowing with various pumpkins and gourds. Above it is a hand painted sign reading 'Pumpkin Carving'.
The small beblune manning the booth eyes you critically as you approach. There's something weird about him, and you realize he's wearing a beb shaped mask! It's Raph!
"'Sup, dude? You wanna $#%! up some pumpkins?" He asks, lifting a huge knife into the air and stabbing it into the top of a defenceless gourd. "My dad's makin' me help out, and this seemed like the gnarliest gig."
You get the impression that he's smiling wickedly under his mask.
How It Works:
Draw or write about your beblune carving a pumpkin. Raph encourages all forms of self expression, so go wild!
Requirements:
A colored halfbody with a simple background of your beblune carving a pumpkin!
Writing must be at least 750 words.
Rewards:
Each entry will earn you 2 candies!
Near the edge of the festivities lies a building that somehow looks both brand new and a few hundred years old. A beblune with far too many wings sits near the entrance, his multi-eyed gaze landing upon you before he speaks.
“Hey there, welcome to Cambiel’s House Of Horrors. I’m Cambiel.” He says, his tone indicating he’s planned this whole script and has been sitting there running over what to say in his head repeatedly.
“Let fear grip you as you wander the hallways of my-” He glances at the palm of his paw, as if something is written there. “Abominable abode…”
How It Works:
This is a haunted house attraction! Draw how they'd react in a haunted house setting! Are they calm and collected, or locked up with fear over the spooks and scares?
Requirements:
A colored halfbody of how your beblune looks while experiencing a scare!
Writing is not accepted for this attraction.
Some great references for fear faces can be found here!
Reward:
Each entry will earn you 2 candies per beblune included! (Max 5 beblune per image)
You approach a wine colored coalgur with almost hilariously small wings sitting near a table with little cups on either end of it.
“Hey there! Name’s Merlot! Interested in a game of Punch Pong?” The coalgur asks before gesturing to the table with one of their tiny wings. “You’ll need a partner for this, though. It’s no fun playing without a little competition!”
How It Works:
This game is a collab only game! Meaning you need to find yourself a collab partner to do this one with!
Each partner must share workload equally, it wouldn’t be fair to make your partner do all the work!
Writing is also accepted for this attraction, but must be collaborative.
Requirements:
A colored fullbody with a simple background of your beblune battling it out over the punch pong table!
Writing must be at least 1400 words and must include both beblune equally.
Reward:
Both participants will receive 3 candies each!
A small group of costume-clad beblune are gathered together at the edge of the festivities, excitedly chattering amongst each other. Upon approaching the group a black and orange beblune beams a smile at you.
"Hey there! You joining us in trick-or-treating at the nearby village? Make sure you've got your costume on so you get some good candy!" The beblune says before introducing themselves as Samhain.
How It Works:
Trick or treat! Draw or write about your costumed beblune either at a door or going from door to door collecting treats from the residents of the nearby village!
Requirements:
A colored fullbody with a simple background of your beblune in their halloween costume!
Your beblune must also be carrying some form of treat bucket or bag to carry their candies!

Reward:
Each entry will earn you 3 candies!
