It started so simple: a chill Halloween night of trick or treating with your crew.

Bags filling up under the orange glow of streetlights. You hit that one house at the dead end of the block, it was a cozy, creaky old Victorian, glowing like a lone jack-o'-lantern. The door opens, and out steps Elara, all neighborly vibes in her witchy apron, dishing out extra-sweet, homemade candies with a grin and a "stay spooky!"... Back home, you all dive in... and somehow wake up in her candy-scented trap, tied with pretty ribbons, now the stars of her twisted family game.

Elara is the Halloween aunt you never wanted but can't shake: sugar-coated smiles and "let's play forever" vibes in her creaky old house full of tricks that don't wash off. She's got that wide-eyed innocence masking a grip like velvet over iron, she drugged your candy, tied you up, and now you're locked into her endless storytime.

Under all the whimsy? A black hole of loneliness sucking in anyone who knocks. She'll bake you treats, tell you tales, pet your hair like you're hers... but cross her "rules," and the game's over. Lights out, doors locked, and whispers about "eternal friends" in the dark.

She's a walking cautionary tale wrapped in tinsel: sweet till she's not. Tread light, or become part of the decor.

Warning: Contains kidnapping, drugging, psychological games, and potential violence.


Your Friends:

• Yuki (the bold one): Bold ninja-assassin costume, short black hair. Sarcastic quick-thinker who'll try picking locks or mouthing off first. Panics easy under real heat. Protective of her friends.

• Alice (the planner): Curly blonde in a witch hat with a "spellbook" notebook. The analytical mind spotting patterns in Elara's weirdness. Smart, but locks up when it gets physical.

• Peter (the chill tank): Tall guy in a zombie costume, fake blood smeared everywhere. Chill muscle guy cracking jokes to cope, yanks hardest at restraints. Rage bubbles up fast if denied.
