If You Don't
Characters: All who are signed up for the If You Don't event!
Setting: Everywhere
Format: Anything
Summary: The shadow children come out to play, hungry for their candy...
Warnings: Psychological horror, possible character death.
As those who are participating in the event wake up on the morning of the 26th, they'll see clawing hands at the edges of their vision that dart away as soon as they're fully awake. Maybe it was just a lingering dream? But there's another note left for them to find:
There is a drawing of a heart at the bottom of the paper, as usual for notes received during Ruana's games, though it's wet and red and appears to be fresh blood.
Still nothing, will happen until the sun begins to set. Once it does, skittering, shifting shadow children will come out to play, tracking down one of the characters participating in the game. They will request a specific kind of candy--not with a normal voice, but with a penetrating, tearing sort of mental intrusion.
You will have until 11:59 PM to figure out what they want, and woe betide you if you get it wrong and give them something they don't like...
Reply to the subthread for each night to receive your character's riddle for that night. Note: While you can request riddles in advance, you will not receive the riddles for nights 2 and on until your character has solved or failed to solve the riddle preceding it and received their consequences, if applicable.
Riddle Subthreads:
October 26th
October 27th
October 28th
October 29th
October 30th
October 31st
Feel free to create your own top-levels for IC mingling during these days - to have your character trying to puzzle out their riddles, search for/negotiate with people who have the candies they need, make attempts to steal candies, and deal with any consequences they get later on for not giving their shadow children the correct candies - but be sure you indicate which night it is in the subject header.
Some other things to note:
- Now that all the remaining candy in the Tower has been put into bowls, it can be perceived and interacted with by everyone, even those who are not signed up for the event.
- Candy that is removed from a bowl will remain in existence so long as it is in a character's hand, but will vanish if set down, put into a bag, etc. If it is transferred from one bowl to another, that is okay. If it is taken from a bowl and handed to a shadow child, that is okay.
- Only the character being asked for candy will be able to hear the shadow child that is doing the asking, though others will be able to see it.
- The shadow child will follow your character until they fetch the candy from their room and will repeat the riddle at any time, when asked; this can be handwaved without a mod response.
- The shadow children will not take any notice of characters that are not the ones they are asking for candy from.
Mod replies will only occur in the riddle subthreads, to 1. give out the riddle and 2. respond with any consequences once a character has given (or not given) a shadow child their candy.

[He stares at the child for a moment, trying to think. It's hard with all of the noise, but he counts on his fingers.]
Five? Uh things in your shoe... toes? Feet?
[He gets up to look in his bowl... huh. Well, maybe... he brings over the spun sugar severed foot. It does have five toes.]
How's this?
no subject
But, because it asked for more than one thing, Tobias will have another chance to make an offer; it hasn't screamed out "Trick" or vanished just yet.]

The shadow snarls and smacks the ten gems away and vanishes, displeased with the offering. The gems vanish upon hitting the ground.
When Tobias is in any morph that will allow him to have his feet (or any equivalent appendage) on the ground, he will feel as though sharp rocks are digging into his feet and that they are getting soaked in blood, though he will never see any if he looks. If he tries morphs that will allow him to get around that by flying, he will feel as though he is weighted down by countless rocks and will fall and hit the ground hard when he tries. If he attempts to get around this by swimming, he will feel as though he is weighted down by countless rocks, and will feel as if he is drowning until he returns to human morph and makes it to the surface. At night, when he tries to sleep, he will feel as though numerous ants are crawling all over him, though he will not be able to find them and will not be able to shake the feeling off.]
