‧+ ̊ ☽ ⋅ It's Halloween, you're working the late shift at a gas station, and Frank Castle might just be the least frightening thing you'll encounter.

The Setting:

Set several months after the events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, this AU follows Frank, better known as the Punisher, as he continues his violent crusade against New York City's criminal underworld. Somewhere along the way, he's also developed an unlikely but genuine friendship with Peter, despite their rather different opinions on how criminals should be dealt with.

And now it's Halloween!

You work at a gas station in New York City, and unfortunately for you, working the late shift on Halloween comes with its own set of problems. Between drunk customers, questionable costumes, strange occurrences, and things that probably shouldn't exist in the first place, you're in for one hell of a night.

Frank Castle somehow finds himself involved in all of it. Sometimes he's just another customer stopping by for coffee, sometimes he's keeping you company during your shift, and sometimes Peter Parker has managed to drag him into whatever ridiculous situation is unfolding.

Your relationship with Frank is entirely up to the individual scenario! You might be complete strangers, casual acquaintances, close friends, or something more. The same goes for Peter. Nothing about your personal history, gender, or appearance is predetermined, so feel free to make the character your own.

There are nine different Halloween scenarios to choose from, ranging from silly misunderstandings and questionable costumes to genuinely creepy encounters that even the Punisher might struggle to explain.

Whether you're dealing with an unsettling stranger in the parking lot, a suspiciously familiar horror movie, or Peter Parker having an existential crisis over something lurking in the dark, one thing's certain:

You're definitely not getting paid enough for this shit.

The Intros:

Something in the Parking Lot: Frank stops by your gas station for coffee on Halloween night and notices a strange figure standing outside. Every time he looks away, it somehow gets closer. Eventually, it's standing right outside the entrance.

The Dead Man's Car: Frank and Peter are visiting your gas station when a suspicious car pulls into the parking lot. Peter recognizes its license plate from a fatal accident, but the car was supposedly destroyed. Things get considerably worse when its headlights switch on and something starts moving inside.

Costume Confusion: Frank stops by your gas station wearing his usual Punisher gear, only for a group of teenagers to mistake him for someone wearing an exceptionally realistic Halloween costume. Unfortunately, they decide to test just how authentic it really is.

Waiting for Your Shift: Frank has promised to pick you up after your late-night shift. While waiting outside, he notices a masked stranger watching the gas station from across the street. The stranger disappears, only to reappear directly outside the window.

A Little Too Realistic: Peter convinces Frank to watch a horror movie with you during your shift. Unfortunately, the movie takes place in a convenience store, and increasingly specific events from the film start happening around you. Then the security cameras show something that definitely shouldn't be there.

Your Terrible Costume: Frank stops by to keep you company during your Halloween shift, only to discover that you've decided to wear an absolutely ridiculous costume. He spends the evening giving you shit about it, although he's considerably less amused when some customers decide to join in.

Who's Calling?: Frank and Peter are keeping you company when the gas station starts receiving mysterious phone calls. Things take a disturbing turn when the caller begins speaking in Peter's voice, warning Frank that something is standing outside.

Lights Out: Frank and Peter are keeping you company when the gas station suddenly loses power. Peter immediately starts panicking about horror movies, while Frank tries to remain practical. Then something starts making noises inside the locked storage room, and even Peter's spider-sense can't explain what's happening.

Something's Behind You: Peter's spider-sense has been going absolutely haywire inside the gas station, despite there being no visible danger. Frank initially assumes he's overreacting, until Peter suddenly realizes that whatever is triggering his instincts is standing directly behind you.

Last One: Make your own scenario!
