You make your way towards the outskirts of town, intrigued by the glowing 'P' on the distant horizon, lighting up an otherwise dark night. The possibilities of what that letter could possibly stand for has piqued your curiosity, and the hope for candy drives you along the otherwise quiet road.
You begin to wonder who could possibly have constructed a house all the way out here - they couldn't possibly get many visitors for Halloween with such an out-of-the-way place for treats. It almost doesn't seem worth the effort just to get there, but just when you're about to give up on the endeavour you reach your destination.
It's not a house at all, but rather a car with a giant 'P' on top of it in neon lights. You shake your head and breath a sigh of disbelief at what you've walked towards all this time. As your interest dissipates, you are about to turn around and head back when you hear a very manly voice call out for you to stop.
"Yo bro, you made it to PYTHONS tower."
A man wearing only a speedo steps out of the car. You think you might have heard of this guy before - some kind of male model you might have seen in a magazine? Why would he place his car out here, and with a giant letter 'P' on it too?! Your curiosity is once again getting the better of you and you stay put for the time being.
"AVENGER PYTHON recently saw this totally radical movie about superheroes, but they ended up killing some manly-looking aliens instead of the female population. AVENGER PYTHON was pretty bummed out about that."
You remember reading that this model man was completely against women's rights and your urge to punch him in the face rises. You inner fanboy/girl thought that that particular movie was really awesome too, how could he possibly disagree with it?!
"AVENGER PYTHON bets that you're wondering what AVENGER PYTHON's super powers are, right? Well, you're lookin' right at them, bro! AVENGER PYTHON has these rippling pectorals, plus the super cool ability to make everyone fall madly in love with AVENGER PYTHON! It's what drew you out here in the first place, bro. AVENGER PYTHON was affecting your mind."
You choose to hold off from mentioning that it was just because you wanted to know what that giant 'P' was for. Maybe it's best if you don't anger this guy, he seems completely crazy. But then again, you're sure that punching him would relieve some tension - and feel great too!
"So you're here for some candy, right? Well, AVENGER PYTHON wouldn't be any kind of superhero if he just gave it to you. You've gotta earn it, by proving that you're a total bro! If you can do that then the candy is yours. AVENGER PYTHON had a tonne of candy made especially for all you folks - because that's what heroes do."
You try to take a few steps back and flee the area, but the model pumps his fist into the air, and it startles you enough intokeeping still for the time being.
"Behind PYTHONS tower, AVENGER PYTHON had some chicks plough a tractor through this cornfield while the farmer dude was asleep! Now it's a maze! Isn't that awesome?!"
You shake your head emphatically.
"AVENGER PYTHON knows right? Totally impressive! So anyway, AVENGER PYTHON placed some very important items in there, and you just gotta bring one back, and AVENGER PYTHON will give you the cool candy! There are also some multiple choice questions in there, and the right answer will totally point you in the right direction!"
AVENGER PYTHON slaps you heartily on the back.
"AVENGER PYTHON'd better tell you what kinds of items you'll be looking for, right?"
With no escape in sight now, you can only nod weakly.
"There are seven items in total, bro! And which one you pick tells AVENGER PYTHON everything he needs to know about you as a bro!
Item One - IRON PYTHON's helmet. IRON PYTHON is totally rich and stuff. He sure knows how to charm the chicks. Plus, he has a killer goatee!
Item Two - CAPTAIN PYTHON's shield. CAPTAIN PYTHON has that rad sense of justice. He knows how lame chicks are better than anyone. He fights for what's right - men!
Item Three - ANGRY PYTHON's ripped pants. ANGRY PYTHON totally can't stand it when he sees women outside of the kitchen. He just loses his mind and goes on a rampage. What a dude!
Item Four - THUNDER PYTHON's hammer. Only the worthy can pick up THUNDER PYTHON's hammer. It's special that way. You better hope that you have the worth - only men need apply!
Item Five - PYTHON WIDOW's guns. PYTHON WIDOW looks pretty awesome in that skin-tight catsuit. You won't be able to take your eyes off of him. He's even a master assassin too!
Item Six - HAWK PYTHON's quiver. HAWK PYTHON has totally amazing aim. He can spot a chick from a mile away, and then he goes in for the kill. Literally!
Item Seven - TRICKSTER PYTHON's sceptre. TRICKSTER PYTHON likes to cause trouble, but it's totally radical trouble! Not just a puny god!"
After an explanation that seems to last forever, AVENGER PYTHON flexes his muscles proudly. You feel rather awkward just standing there in the darkness with him. In fact, entering the maze is starting to look like the better option!
"Well bro, what are you waiting for? Get on in there!"
You have nothing to lose... right?
Your options are:
1. Enter the maze in hopes of finding one of the questions to lead you in the right direction, or maybe even one of the special items themselves. The faster you do that, the quicker you can leave this place and never return!
2. Seductively wink at AVENGER PYTHON. He always appreciates a little bit of affection - it makes him feel special.
3. Slap AVENGER PYTHON across the face. You've had just about enough of him. Be prepared for the totally manly consequences though!
4. Ask AVENGER PYTHON more about THE PYTHONS, because you've never seen the movie and it sounds very intriguing. (WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'VE NEVER SEEN THE MOVIE?!?!?!)
5. Other. Hey, I can't control you forever, you know! FIGHT THE NARRATIVE POWER, good sir or madam!

“...NOPE. NOPE NOPE NOPE!” Tiger slashes her claws through the air, creating a curious and mildly unnerving rip in the fabric of time and space, and plucks out a blue ghost and a wizard who looks more like an irate bird than anything. “Congrats, Mick and Leif! You’re going trick-or-treating! BYE!”
Tiger jumps into the dimensional portal, the tail of her magnificent pirate coat flaring briefly behind her as she cruelly abandons her characters to AVENGER PYTHON. Neither Mick nor Leif are very surprised by this. Well, the “Tiger abandoning them” part. They are very surprised and bewildered by AVENGER PYTHON.
“...Aren’t you dead?” Mick asks AVENGER PYTHON.
“Clearly this isn't canon, I don't think it matters.” Leif sighs. "Let’s get this over with - we need to find questions hidden in that maze, right?”
“Right.” Mick leads the way to the cornfield. “...I really hope we don’t wind up with his ripped pants.”

Mermaid!Sporty watches in awe as Tiger promptly summons two of her characters and high-tails it out of there. She briefly considers doing the same, but ultimately decides against it -- Melanie would probably kill her, especially considering how she'd already dragged her into that Free Rice game with Travis and Piper.
After a moment of mental debate, the mermaid shrugs and heads for the cornfield (being careful to "accidentally" smack AVENGER PYTHON upside the head with her tail as she goes) in the hopes of finding that hammer or something. It sure would be nice to show that guy up by coming out of the maze with one of his cooler trinkets.

From somewhere in the darkness outside the light of the giant "P", two eyes glint, as well as a sparkly purple tux. The catgirl has arrived. She drinks in AVENGER PYTHON's every word.
"We meet at last," she croons gleefully under her breath.
The mass of tentacles, wriggling somewhere in the darkness, slither suspiciously close to AVENGER PYTHON when he comes nearer, but stay put.
She immediately wishes to look for TRICKSTER PYTHON's sceptre, of course - no contest.
But when the time comes to act - well, you'll NEVER guess what the tentacular catgirl does.
No no really, you won't be expecting that.
Not at all.
She gives AVENGER PYTHON a coy wink.

Coaster had the feeling when he approached the tower that his costume theme was about to find a soul mate of some sort, but it was only when the maze was described that Coaster's suspicion was confirmed.
Of course, he hopes nobody would be delusional enough to try to find ANGRY PYTHON's old pants, so Coaster plops his prissy rainbow gun into AVENGER PYTHON's (extremely manly) hand and plunges into the maze to look for PYTHON WIDOW's guns (not AVENGER PYTHON's because they're kinda attached to his torso, hurr hurr) because that's totally what the source characters do while wearing this sort of costume.

"Let’s get this over with - we need to find questions hidden in that maze, right?” “Right.” Mick leads the way to the cornfield. “...I really hope we don’t wind up with his ripped pants.” AVENGER PYTHON frowns. "Well, you died before AVENGER PYTHON did! And just before AVENGER PYTHON could turn you into a bro..." He laments for a few seconds. "AVENGER PYTHON is both dead and alive. Woah... that was deep." He barely even notices as Mick and Leif wander off into the maze, but when he does you can hear his voice shouting words of encouragement to you. In an attempt to make the cornfield maze more interesting, AVENGER PYTHON has stuck planks of wood into the ground with pieces of paper stuck to the top. Upon closer inspection, you see that all of them are pictures of him, complete with a caption for each one. 'OFFICER PYTHON', 'DOCTOR PYTHON' and 'PYTHON DICKENS', the list just keeps going on. At least you haven't come to a dead end yet - just more pictures of shirtless AVENGER PYTHON. Lucky you. You finally come to a small opening in the corn and step into it. It's dark, but you can just about see a table with a piece of paper lying on it. Beside it, there's another photo - this one of THUNDER PYTHON. You wonder if you're headed towards his hammer. The piece of paper reads: ' Your totally awesome question is this;
How manly is AVENGER PYTHON?
THE MANLIEST - the left path.
OMG SO MANLY - the middle path
I MIGHT FAINT FROM HOW MANLY AVENGER PYTHON IS - the right path' Looking ahead of you, you can see that there are three paths leading back into the corn. I suppose you need to pick an answer...

It sure would be nice to show that guy up by coming out of the maze with one of his cooler trinkets. AVENGER PYTHON growls when he is slapped in the face by a mermaid tail. That was totally uncool! As the mysterious fish-chick enters the maze, he considers setting the entire field on fire - Salem witch trials eat your heart out. In the end he decides against it! Mick and Leif are in there and he owes allegiance to his bros. Besides, maybe she'll get lost in there forever. Despite walking in not too far behind Mick and Leif, you don't see them at all once you've entered. You can however, hear AVENGER PYTHON shouting and you walk faster to get away from it. Maybe there's another exit in here that you can take to escape from him. You don't bet on it though. You pass pictures of 'FRANKENPYTHON', 'PYTHON POTTER' and 'HELLO PYTHON' on the way through your adventure. Finally, you come to a widened space with a table sitting in the middle. There's a piece of paper and a picture of CAPTAIN PYTHON on it. Looking at the picture, you hadn't realised that they made spandex so tightly fitting. You quickly avert your eyes and focus on the paper. 'A question OF JUSTICE, for you;
What is your favourite thing about AVENGER PYTHON?

No no really, you won't be expecting that. Not at all. She gives AVENGER PYTHON a coy wink. AVENGER PYTHON raises an eyebrow. He isn't sure what he's looking at exactly - some sort of catgirl with tentacles? He's seen some strange things in his time, but this might take the cake. "Mmmmmm, cake," he begins to mutter, but pauses abruptly when she winks at him. SHE WINKED!!! He smirks. Nobody can resist his charms - it's true. He winks back. "AVENGER PYTHON bets that word has spread that he's here already so the fans are flocking the area. That so gnarly! But since you're the first of many, AVENGER PYTHON should give you a special prize." He thinks this over for a little while. "How about, instead of one of the other PYTHONS, AVENGER PYTHON gives you a limited edition AVENGER PYTHON prize?" He offers and a grin, before adding, "The only thing AVENGER PYTHON has is his uniform though, and AVENGER PYTHON doesn't have a spare speedo..." he trails off before winking again at the catgirl. Coaster had the feeling when he approached the tower that his costume theme was about to find a soul mate of some sort, but it was only when the maze was described that Coaster's suspicion was confirmed.

WOAH! AVENGER PYTHON clutches the rainbow gun with excitement. This thing looks totally awesome!!! He dives over the hood of his car and pretends to shoot somebody in the distance with the gun. This will amuse him for hours... You enter the maze to the sound of AVENGER PYTHON making fake gunshot sounds. He seems to have completely forgotten about the maze, but you haven't! You pass through the darkness, doing your best to ignore the 'PIKAPYTHON', 'PHOENIX PYTHON' and 'COWBOY PYTHON' pictures that you walk by. Eventually, you come to a clearing in the corn, with a table in the middle. There's a piece of paper there, and a picture of PYTHON WIDOW next to it. You're fairly certain that he should not be wearing a catsuit! Turning your gaze to the paper, you read - '00-PYTHON here to relay a question to you:

"Uhm - well, I think the left path is the least embarrassing to admit to later." "...I suppose that's the best we can hope for." Leif motions toward the left and the two abandoned characters head that way. |

Oh. Well um. This was an interesting turn for Death. Or rather, the woman in the Death costume. They frowned underneath the dark sheer hiding their face. They hesitated for a moment, looking between PYTHON and the corn field. Ultimately, they had to admit that they had a fondness for mazes. Besides, there wasn't much else they could do here. But before they entered the field, they leaned in, holding their scythe close to AVENGER PYTHON.
"I will return for what is mine," they said. Then they go into the cornfield. It doesn't occur to them until then just how many ways that sentence could be interpreted. Oh well, too late now. They wandered through the field, keeping a sharp eye out for clues, not looking for any one object in particular.

Azzie is drawn to the shiny car. Her excitement is diminished, however, when she realizes to whom it belongs, and she has to fight the urge to laugh. She glances at the maze, decides it can wait, and trots up to AVENGER PYTHON.
"Hi there, sir. How are you tonight?"

The shield, huh? Well, it's not the hammer, but it's certainly better than some of the... other things Sporty could have found in the maze. Sounds like a plan!
Sporty is conflicted now, though. On the one hand, she... really doesn't want to follow any of the answers to this "quiz." She's tempted to follow the left path, since it is slightly less creepy to say something about AVENGER PYTHON'S lips than person-crushing muscles. Maybe. Either way, either of those is a better option than the one corresponding to the right path. On the other hand, though, this maze was made by THE PYTHON, and from what Sporty understands about him... he probably would have made that path into the best choice.
Sporty lets out a sigh and glances behind her. Once assured that no one can see her, she takes a deep breath and slips down the right path.

If there wasn't enough of anything this year, Cassie thought, it was stories. Upon hearing her tirade, she plops down--(sounding more like a muffled FLUMP because of the thick parka)--and begs, "Tell me more stories about PYTHON please~" while batting her eyelashes.
Cassie's sled dogs look at one another as if to say, "Now she's done it."
They might be right..

To Coaster, this would have been a good time to break out the practice sword and start clobbering goons over the head, but sadly, this didn't seem to be that sort of game after all, so in order to find the weapons, he figured his best bet would be to take the left path, knowing as little as he did about THE PYTHON due to being a nonparticipant that year. |

"How about, instead of one of the other PYTHONS, AVENGER PYTHON gives you a limited edition AVENGER PYTHON prize?" He offers and a grin, before adding, "The only thing AVENGER PYTHON has is his uniform though, and AVENGER PYTHON doesn't have a spare speedo..." he trails off before winking again at the catgirl. ((Oh look I went nuts, sorry)) The catgirl's eyes glint again and her fingers already twitch in grabby motions. "That doesn't sound like a problem!" She whips a towel out of her trick-or-treat bag and throws it at AVENGER PYTHON, because it's always a good idea to carry a towel on Halloween nights - you never know what pool, aquarium or sea you might stumble into. "Use this if you need!" It wasn't the biggest towel, but a man walking around in a speedo probably wouldn't mind. The catgirl is now determined to get her treat. How many other treats of this kind will be given out this Halloween? Probably none. This was the only one, the best one, and it was all hers. She prowls toward AVENGER PYTHON, cackling maniacally under her breath and raising her grabby hands. Suddenly, someone else appears in a great poofy cloud of glitter. "Nuh-uh, missy, you ain't goin' anywhere near that dude!" The new arrival, cosplaying Ziggy Stardust, restrains the catgirl by grabbing her under the arms and lifting her - he has to kick away a few tentacles. "But Leoooo," she whines, "my treaat, my super-treat!" "Goodness, girl, don't you remember where we are? Just go into the maze before Halloween is over!" The fabulous hairdresser, mysteriously revived for this Halloween event, throws the catgirl towards the maze entrance. She gives a pitiful whine, but waves at AVENGER PYTHON and begins to search for TRICKSTER PYTHON's sceptre. Leo waits for her to walk away, before turning to AVENGER PYTHON with a grin. "So... about that speedo..." But the catgirl's ears immediately detect the use of the word "speedo" and she sprints back out of the maze. "LEO YOU TRAITOR!!!" She throws a kind of Pokeball between AVENGER PYTHON and Leo, causing Laurie to appear, a cloak still covering his frilly maid costume. "Laurie, just steal his speedo!" she commands. The maid glances at AVENGER PYTHON; his eyes widen and he takes a step back. "Steal his what-now?" But Leo's path has been blocked, which is all the catgirl needed. The two face each other in a silent stare-down. "You owe me this," says Leo, "I lent you that tux!" "That I created for you!" "Fine, first one to find TRICKSTER PYTHON's sceptre gets the speedo." "You're not getting the sceptre either!" They both sprint into the maze, only pausing briefly to strike diva poses in front of AVENGER PYTHON. |

Some time before midnight, the catgirl is spotted running away from the maze, holding a speedo triumphantly like it's the Olympic torch. No one knows the details of /how/ she acquired it.
But she DID.
