It's a Halloween night here. In the SCP foundation, people have been dressing up for the the spookiest holiday here. 5 of them is Alex, who made a Grimm Reaper costume with his very own Biomass,

Toxin, who simply uses his costume as a Halloween suit to have, as a type of 'slime monster, along with Patrica, who does the same things when using scorn. Jaime dresses in a Jack-O-Lantern head monster costume.

Rex dresses up as a surprisingly rather large robotic monster

And Circe dresses up in a costume, resembling the banshee itself.

It was a very special time, as the most human-resembling SCPs get to finally go into the outside world. Unfortunately, many of the agents are to excited for the Halloween to come with them. So they brought Alex, Patrick, Patricia, Jaime, Rex, and Circe. Cricket and the others would have come along with them, but they are unable to resemble a human being, they have to stay. Only cricket comes close, and her anomalous nature will still be revealed by the public outside.

The foundation itself has been decorated. They had gotten out SCP-097 pumpkins all over the SCP foundation. They are used in the biggest rooms that can fit them. There are about 5 seen. The rest went as Pumpkin Pies.

As everyone prepares to leave, Alex been thinking of Halloween. This is the first time he has done this sort of thing many years ago. He is just a bit unsure of how to react.

'Going back to Halloween seems good and all of that, but I don't know if I should return to it. I am already an adult, so I can't do it. Than again, I have to go around, along with the others and make sure that the child SCP's like it. I just hope that I don't mess this thing up.'

As Alex puts on the mask, Rex came to him at the door with  his mechanical monster costume, which has had trouble doing, as the costume itself is rather large.

"Yo...Alex, we go now."

Alex than follows Rex out. Both of them than look to see the many children SCPs waiting for them all. As Alex puts on the hood, he makes his eyes glow red, to make it look like he is wearing a mask underneath the hood. After waiting for 10 minutes, the others entered the room. The director than came to them with a list in his hand, to point out the certain tasks needed here.

"Alright, you 6. As you all have likely heard, we have sent you to take an individual SCP for Halloween. Unfortunately, because of our agent being rather 'busy' with other stuff, you will be assigned to company any child SCP. Alex, you will go with 191. Toxin, you will go with 040 and Scorn. Jaime Reyes, you're with 2091-2. Rex, you are with 134, and Circe, you are with 2241, and you are allowed to go with Rex himself."

Lucky thing that 191 dresses up as a female robot, with her right hand covered in a material that made it look less creepy, with the other hand covering on a robotic hand if he same thing, except that it's wearable, and finally has a mask that hides her face. Otherwise, Alex would have had a serious problem present there. SCP-134 is wearing sunglasses and has a devil costume. SCP-2091 is wearing a princess costume, 040 is wearing a cat costume, (from her organic sweater, obviously), 2241, a costume that resembles a spider. The others just hope that nothing goes wrong with this time of the scariest holiday.

Alex and 191 went out first. Breach than made a portal for them, who is dressed in a costume of a certain female character that possesses its own 4 arms, without the first part being larger, and has 3 fingers. They went to a peaceful neighborhood, filled with light streets.

'Well, this is a first.'

Alex thought. As he look at one of the houses. One of them had children present here. So Alex than decide to go there first. 191, who is named the robo-girl, gets some sweets of her own, such behavior as a lollipop and a chocolate candy bar. While she can't eat them, they can be converted to vitamins through a special type of machine that the foundation has made.

Alex than went to two other houses, but notices that one of them looked at them like there's something wrong. They must becoming suspicious about 191, but didn't dwell in. We have been doing it for about 1 hour, but as we went into one of them, the one next to it is a strange house.

And the thing is, is that there are people that are similar to reapers, kind of like the one that Alex wears right now. Alex was rather a bit unease, but passes the house. That is a strange place.

As he walked away, however, the robed occupants looked at the direction of Mercer himself.

"Do you think that they are friends of the person that we ha talked to?"

The one that is holding the scythe said. The taller one than spoke out.

"I do not know. Maybe we can invite him and speak politely to the person right there."

Both nodded, and the both of them went after Alex to invite them kindly.

Both of the Mulligan twins are inside of a neighborhood of sorts, due to Toxin gliding in the air, with Scorn using her right arm as a type of thruster. They than went to the nearest neighborhood without any situation that involved any sort of anomalies that are not here. They than went to the nearest house next to them.

040 than for some bag of candy corn, some lollipops, and some gummy worms when at the first house. Many of the neighbors here commented on how cute about 040ms hair looks like, and 040 seems to enjoy herself immensely.

"Wow, I can't wait to eat the candies I have!"

"Of course you're can wait. Just hold your wanting for candy, until we go back."

Toxin said to Evolution's Child.

"Yeah...it won't take long."

The trio than went to several more houses, but 2 of them questioned about the part of her yellow eye. The most common response thought:

"She has only one of the contact lenses for the left eye, which isn't good."

At least it was able to cover that she's born with this sort of thing. Even if 040 seems irritated. Well, it was worth it. They just hope that it doesn't happen when they start going to the other houses.

Jaime is having a rather wonderful time with 2091-2. She was very excited, as she is still a kid, even when she hasn't age. He went into his armor, and flies them both to a neighborhood, while far away, it took about 3 minutes to get to that area. When they went to the neighborhood, it is biggest one yet. More bigger than the other had to travel to. They than went to the house at the end first, since it has kids there. And sense 2091-2 has a resemblance to a kid and has the mentality of one, it is no problem.

The kid had gotten a number of things when she went to the houses. She had gotten gummy bears and gummy worms, lollipops and starbursts, both hard candy and rock candy, candy cane, jelly beans, tootsie rolls, jolly ranchers, M&M's, and a load more. Needless to say, the kid is very excited of that.

"Wow, you're one lucky kid."

SCP-2091-2 couldn't stop jumping and speaking our excitedly.

"I'm so happy that I got this much candy, Jaime!! It is so great here!!!"

"Well, you can have them later, we still got other houses to go to, remember?"

The kid smiled and nodded. Jaime chuckled, and they moved toward the next house that are in front of them.

Rex and Circe have their hands a bit full with the 2 SCP they're guarding. 134 can't see anything in front of her, and 2241 is using telekinesis a bit with his own Halloween bag, when he was told 'NO'.

Luckily, nobody saw this happen, especially when at the houses. If they had seen what has happened, they would've freaked. 134 would have been seen with her eyes anomalous, but has a mask to hide such things from the world. They all got basic candy from the homes they visited. By that, they mean that they had lollipops, chocolate bars, candy corn, and so on.

"Wow, the amount of candy is great to have here!"

The telekinetic SCP said aloud.

"Ummm...can one of you help me get the candy inside my out? You know that I can't see everything."

"Maybe will could help yo-"

Before Rex could finish speaking, Circe put her hand over Rex's noir and spoke out.

"I'll volunteer to help out. After all, Rex, it is a girl-to-girl type of things. Is it not?"

She spoke with a flirty expression on her face. Rex wanted to speak back, but with an expression like that, he relents and spoke.

"Yes."

He spoke with a sigh. Circe smiled a bit more. As they walked a little, Rex caught sight of a strange store present right there. While it looks normal, he has a bad feeling of what the store is. It looks normal, but the way he felt it seems...off.

He than speaks to one of the doctors and the doctor answers to Rex immediately.

"Rex...is there something wrong?"

"Umm...Doc, you wouldn't happen to have a SCP store that seems to appear on Halloween, right?"

The doctor than spoke out.

"How would you know that?"

"Well, I see a store next to us, and even though it looks like a normal one, the way it feels, isn't right."

The doctor sighed and spoke.

"Of course you would find this one. The SCP is called 2523. SCP-2523 is a phenomenon affecting seasonal Halloween costuming and decoration stores in the US and Canada from sunset on October 31st to sunset on November 1st. It is restricted to stores which are entirely seasonal, and does not affect Halloween displays in more permanent businesses."

While it doesn't seem like much, the real effect come when a person comes in and wants it but something in there. When a customer attempts to purchase an item during the anomaly, SCP-2523-1 entities will attempt to persuade them not to use monetary means to purchase the item. Instead, the entity will ask for a trade. Entities have accepted physical objects as well as more abstract concepts as fair trades. This has included: hair, personal abilities, years of life, children, illegal drugs, memories, and emotions."

Rex felt a bit uneasy, and than the doctor continues with her explanation.

"A few examples are if using prosthetic vampire fangs, they have an undying their for blood. When with a dark chocolate candy bar, they can survive without eating for 28 days. When in a nurse costume, the wearer will demonstrate markedly decreased sexual inhibitions as well as increased attractiveness to the opposite sex. Some sexual partners reported mild anesthetic effects. So basically, it is both good and bad, mostly on bad."

Rex sweatdrops, obviously not comfortable of hearing that an SCP is always appearing on October. He than imagines getting one with the fake vampire fangs. If he tries on it, and sold something very sinister...that he is going to be like an animal, and might accidentally attack anyone that her care about...even Circe, Cricket, Breach, and his friends.

After this, he decided to go against it and walk away from the place, fast. But as he walked, Circe than spoke to Rex.

"Rex...is there something wrong?"

She spoke in concern for him. Rex than spoke out.

"No...nothing is wrong at all."

Circe looked at him weirdly, but than later drops it.

Okay...after a hour of doing a Halloween night there, the 4 groups than found themselves back inside of the SCP foundation. The SCP kids are enjoying the sweets given. The adult SCPs than went to the party for fun. Alex, however, took longer, because some people in robes invited him to their house, and they even knew one of the staff. The people were SCPs, known after SCP-3540 instances, but unlike Rex's, they are the kind-type SCPs. Rex was very complaining afterwords, hearing how lucky Alex has with fruit punch and all the stuff at the house. Alex, however, was greatly appreciated of, and even promised to come back again next year.

The party was rather crazy. It has people drinking fruit punch, and have nice snacks. They had candy corn and had slimy spaghetti with fake eyeballs, which is really meatballs. Everyone was having a fun time, and Rex is seen with the group. Skwydd is Alonso seen talking to Circe.

"Man, wish I could have been there with you, if I was looking human enough."

"Well, maybe we can find a way to make it look like that you are wearing a costume already."

"Maybe."

Toxin and Scorn are seen decorating the place further with webbing that is being made. Blue Beetle is seen trying to make more complex decorations.

As they converse, Alex couldn't help but wonder what was in the house he's seen. And more importantly, what is so special about that place. Well, maybe he'll get some answers for another time. For now, he has to enjoy the fun that is present. But as he's enjoying his time, he looks left, and saw something that's very unusual.

Alex: "Hello there, Mr.Funny Bones."

As he spoke, the SCP, called SCP-SPOOKY-J shouted out an extremely outrage tone.

SCP-SPOOKY-J: "YOU CAN'T CALL ME THAT YOU IDIOTIC SKIN SACK, DAVY BONES DOESN'T LIKE SUCH A STUPID NAME!"

Alex laughed and mocked at him.

"Ohhhhh...What are you gonna do? Rattle your bones to the point it would keep me awake all night? How very dumb of you. And also, you don't like a Grim Reaper. This is how you look like one.

As Alex switched to the costume, SPOOKY-J was furious.

SCP-SPOOKY-J got so angry, his bones actually rattled and began cussing very badly. Thankfully, Alex negated his hearing and made some ear plugs.

"I AM GONNA [EXPUNGE] YOU TO THE POINT YOU [EXPUNGE] DEAD!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!"

As he kept shouting at him, many of the staff that noticed SPOOKY's reaction laughed, seeing him getting very pestered. Satisfied to see one of the rude SCPs getting a taste of their own medicine. SPOOKY than tried to act threatening to Alex, and Alex...hammerfist Ed SPOOKY-J right up into the starry sky. That will shut him up.

In an unknown location, there is a box. Inside of the box is a blue crystal of sorts. The Crystal is glowing blue, and Norse runes began to form around. The Runes than go back inside of the Crystal, as the Crystal than stops glowing.

In the yellow zone of New York Zero, there is a abandoned church in the middle of the city itself. When inside, there is a figure at the church's ceiling, with the bars holding it in place. Standing on the bars is a humanoid figure, all void black, with white around the green eyes, with chains and a extremely long cape following down beneath it. The being's eyes glow more green as it glares at whatever it is feeling now.
