gazing at you with scorpion eyes

Who: Brock, Molotov, and guests! And maybe party crashers? Trick-or-treaters?
What: Halloween party for grown-ups!
When: Halloween, 10pm until question mark
Where: Brock's dumb cabin
Rating: PG/PG-13. Probably going to be drunk people, maybe some swearing.

Maybe you received an invitation earlier in the week via ghost, or maybe you've heard that there was a party by word of mouth. Or maybe you're just looking for candy.

Either way, there are a lot of lights on at the usually quiet cabin in the woods. Located just southwest of the castle off the main road to town, it's not a large structure. Essentially one giant room, the cabin is a single story building made of wood, though one side appears to be made of brick and now has a functioning fireplace. Smoke is coming from the chimney.

Today there are also what appear to be papier-mâché pillars in front, on either side of the door. You can probably knock them over if you're not careful.

[But Molotov has come out for a bit of fresh air! She's dressed like slutty Cleopatra, to suit the theme of this party.]

Hank, I did not know you were coming.

What can I say? I wasn't expecting the invitation.

Are you going to come inside, or just creep around out here?

I'm not creeping. It's simply... more quiet out here.

Opposed to noise?

Too much can be annoying.

It is not that noisy. Come in.

[Siiiiigh.]

Alright.

[Watch, there's gonna be a secret rave in there or something, he knows it...]

It will be fine, I promise.

[And she will turn to lead him into a cabin full of cheap-looking Egyptian props!]

Had I known there'd be a theme, I would've worn an ankh.

It was on the invitation. You should have paid attention.

Must've slipped my mind.

[He takes a look around, feeling super out of place.]

So, this Brock... which one is he again?

[She points at an enormous man in Roman armor, over at the bar.]

Mark Antony over there.

[Well well, if it wasn't Blast Hardcheese.]

Ah, that one. I remember him.

You have met him before?

[He nods.]

In the forest. He left his car there, damaging it.

He did not leave it there on purpose. He did not know it was there in the first place.

I should hope not. That'd be an odd place to leave it.

The castle did it, of course.

Of course. I doubt he has any enemies here that would do that.

It was a Christmas gift a few years ago, apparently. The castle hid it particularly well.

A little too well, from what I saw.

Exactly. Personally, I thought it was funny.

I'll bet the castle did to.

I'm sure. Otherwise Brock probably would have been able to find it faster.
