In the poison'd entrails throw.—
Toad, that under cold stone,
Days and nights has thirty-one;
Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Hallow's Eve is upon us. A night where magic is considered more powerful than usual. If you're a Guardian you can feel it in the air. The air always seems a little cooler and the night a little creepier on this night each year.
The city loves Halloween. They have volunteers who hand out candy to who ever they pass by. They might have run into you on your way to work. Maybe they left a piece in your mailbox or tied it to your door.
It doesn't matter how you received your piece of candy. As soon as you eat it you'll feel the magic of Halloween. Perhaps you felt your senses heightened, your sight and hearing better than ever before! Or maybe you suddenly felt invisible, like no one is paying attention to you. It's possible you've never felt as terrified in your entire life as you do right now.
No matter what you feel, it's definitely not normal for you. You've just gotten a taste of Halloween's magic. Have you possibly bitten off more than you can chew?

The Rules
This plot is going to work differently than the last two we've had. This month, everyone who wishes to participate in this plot will need to sign up for it. When you sign up you have the option of choosing your own location and candy effect, or they can be chosen for you. Also, who you thread with will be chosen randomly. It will give characters an opportunity to interact with others.
The location you pick can be anywhere that is considered public. Any place of residency (house, apartment, dorm), and the university are considered off limits. Everything else will be fair game.
The time that this takes place is between 9:00p.m. and 12:01a.m. on October 31. So when you're setting up your thread it would make the most sense to start anywhere from 8:30p.m. to 10:00p.m.
If you feel that your character would not eat candy that is handed out by the City's volunteer committee, then it wouldn't be a good idea to sign up for this plot. Because if they don't eat the candy then it wouldn't make sense now, would it?
The Candy choices are:
Heightened Senses:
Eating this candy your senses will be heightened beyond your wildest dreams. For the Therianthropes it will be doubled since their senses are already heightened. Could be considered very difficult for a Therianthrope. For all others it will be like a really cool acid trip.
Invisibility:
Eating this candy will turn you invisible. Nobody can see you but they can hear you! And no, your clothes do not turn invisible. So if you want nobody to know you're around then you better strip it all off.
Fear:
This candy will cause a great sense of fear in you. Suddenly that harmless old lady is a sharp toothed demon who will eat your soul! You become terrified of everything. May cause paranoia and hallucinations.
No Lies:
Eating this candy will cause you to be nothing but truthful. You cannot tell a lie and you're very likely to inform people of some of your darkest secrets.
Now when Halloween is over at 12:01 a.m. everyone goes back to normal.
So reply to this thread as the character you want to sign up before October 1st. October 1st is when this plot will be open and it will close on November 1st. Be sure to reply with your character's name, location and candy you choose. Or if you want us to choose for you then don't write down a location and/or a candy.
*EDIT: To be clear, you can start a thread with this plot anytime between October 1 to October 31. You don't have to wait until Halloween to play it.
