SPOOKY HEAVEN

[kinetic]

Happy Halloween!

Welcome! Everything is fine.

Don't worry if you can't remember how you died. We erased your memory of that moment to help with the transition. Based on a complex calculus that assigns a numeric value to all your thoughts and actions while you were alive, you have earned a spot in the Good Place! Enjoy your afterlife.

For Halloween, the little walkable suburban neighborhood of your Good Place has adopted a few new features. The entities in charge want to make sure everyone feels at home without missing what they felt made life fun before! Feel free to play with any/all of the following prompts:

• Ambient 'spooky' music plays at all hours of the day and in every location, broken up every 9.15 hours by Miley Cyrus' cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Head Like a Hole."


• A silent but friendly clown jumpscares everyone and offers them a balloon animal, even in private moments.


• Every restaurant has exclusively candy corn themed dishes.


• Roller skates are "in" and everyone is provided with a pair so they can skate everywhere.


• Houses are remodeled to have haunting effects and/or corn mazes.


• That person you hate is hosting a group watch of people's deaths on the screens that play people's memories from their own POV.


• Due to a misinterpretation of "bloody hearts" as 'just a British thing,' the town festival is actually Valentine's-themed.

Make related (or unrelated!) top-levels, posts, etc. to your heart's content.

01. Isn't it a little on the nose to celebrate Halloween in a neighborhood full of dead people?

02. If I wanted to eat something that wasn't candy corn...

03. [ an incoherent screaming sound at 2:18 am from inside your neighbor's house, which is a funky 70s love den without any furniture aside from cushions and futon pads thrown across the floor, as miley cyrus' "head like a hole" kicks in again. ]

Speaking technically, isn't every neighborhood full of dead people?

[pilgrimages]

Dead inside, maybe.
Otherwise, I think it depends on the proximity to the nearest graveyard.
Unless they do things very differently where you're from.

[heurist]

OH you're just talking about dead people that are physically up and walking around.
Yeah.
I guess that makes sense.
Anyway you could argue the afterlife/zombie apocalypse is the best time to do Halloween.
It's on theme, which is, according to the 1979's November issue of House & Garden, creates a sense of joie de vivre.

[pilgrimages]

[ wow. house and garden? she definitely doesn't belong here. ]

Must've missed that one.
Guess it's more joie de mort around here, anyway.

[heurist]

Maybe.
Not very goth, though.
If I knew I'd go to the set of a very Marxist children's show when I died, I'd have tried harder to get into Hell.

[pilgrimages]

How hard did you try?

[heurist]

Everyone has a Satanism phase.

[pilgrimages]

I'm not sure that's true.

[heurist]

Maybe not everyone.
But some teenagers have more of an internet connection than a personality.
But I'm talking about myself too much.
What about you?
What did you do to get here?

The Italian place has a candy corn shaped dessert made out of lemon, orange, and apple sorbet.

It was about a teaspoon of each but they probably have a full vat in the kitchen, right?
