Where: Secret beach location!



The sun begins to set shortly after 6 PM, and the massive wooden gate doors across from the house slide open automatically. A large dirt pathway descends down into the jungle, and a sign warns that straying from the path will result in an encounter with the pain barrier. There’s another option, though. Cable cars.

There are several sets of tracks, two for descending down the hill, and two for ascending back to the villa. Each car can comfortably sit up to four people, and will travel along its track automatically once the door is shut and a safety lock is engaged. For those that choose to walk the pathway, it’ll take about forty-five minutes (though, the way back will be considerably longer, as it will be entirely up-hill). The cable cars can travel the entire distance in any direction in twenty minutes.

Either way, the walk or ride down is pretty damn magical. The path is marked on either side with carved jack-o-lanterns, placed equally apart at 3-foot intervals. The light from the candles inside is the only light along the trail, but they’re large enough to provide enough light to see comfortably without squinting. There are lots of other Halloween decorations in the trees: fake cobwebs (well, hopefully fake), scarecrows, fake ghosts, witches, and paper bats hanging from the tree tops… just about anything you can imagine, really, with a couple of these things at random, just to make sure you're paying attention. Say hi.

The trail is often twisting and winding, so it’s never really possible to see what’s ahead for more than twenty to thirty feet or so. Those that are hoping for beach access will not be disappointed.

The cable cars dock at a small station at the bottom of the hill, and the walkway leads to a clearing in the trees that opens out onto the beach. TPTB have used yellow caution tape and string lights to rope off the part of the beach that is open to them- and it’s quite a considerable space, easily the length of a football field. What’s more, there are a series of buoys in the ocean, each tied to the next, to designate where they can safely swim without hitting the barrier. The safe zone extends out to a point in the water that’s about 6 foot deep. No, before you ask, there are no fish within the safe zone, or any living sealife to be found within.

The party space is decorated to the nines, with plenty of lights and candles. The trees along the treeline are all wrapped in strand lights, and it’s all very festive. There is a small entertainment station where music can be played from the same digital library available in the villa, and a small light-up dance floor that frequently flashes colorful Halloween designs. There is a full bar, a dozen different buffet tables, and six round black dining tables that can each sit up to six people comfortably. But hey, about those buffet tables. At least half of it is what you’d expect to see, with all manner of Halloween treats and pitchers of margaritas and mixed drinks. The other half? Is chain stuff from the real world. McDonalds, Pizza Hut, hell, even Starbucks. Rest assured, everyone’s favorite foods will be represented somewhere, and it all tastes fresh and absolutely legit.

Finally, though the cable cars are an easy way back to the house for anyone too drunk to walk it, there’s one more option. On the outskirts of the party space are beach cabanas with beds, couches, or even hammocks inside, for anyone that chooses to just crash there. Have fun.

What: House meeting


Kate hadn't put any special prep into the meeting beyond finding a pen and paper to make notes; she didn't anticipate it being a long meeting (or at least, she hoped it wasn't), and it wasn't really the sort of situation where drinks and snacks were necessary. She made sure to be downstairs early, perched on the arm of the couch towards the front of the living room, and was getting everyone's name as they walked in. Unintentionally helpful for her personally, too, as there were still a lot of names and faces she hadn't been able to match up even with the decent attendance at the party the night before.

She gave it a few minutes after the clock struck twelve in case there were any stragglers; once it seemed like the majority who was going to show up had, she stood and cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. "So I'm sure you've all seen that Annie Wilkes and Buffalo Bill up there aren't happy with the way we're playing house. The cleaning shouldn't be a big deal and hopefully fixing whatever damage there is won't be either, but my first concern is the sick people. If you could all take a look around, is anyone missing from the group? If so, has anyone seen them today? Or is anyone here feeling sick?"
