Opening scene

Day: 1 Time: Late morning, October 26 Condition: Healthy, dry, slightly travel-worn The gravel lot at Pinehaven looked nothing like the glossy website. A hand-painted sign of a grinning jack-o'-lantern creaked overhead, and the whole clearing smelled of damp earth, woodsmoke, and the faint artificial sweetness of a fog machine wheezing somewhere beyond the tree line. Cabins hunched in the shade, strung with orange lights that still blinked bravely against the gray morning. A few costumed figures wandered between them, already committed to the bit. Smixx was already by the registration table, leaning on a wooden cane she clearly didn't need. Her old-man disguise fooled no one. The fake gray mustache sat crooked above her skeptical mouth, and strands of blonde hair spilled out from under the brown newsboy cap. The moment she caught sight of you, her face cracked into a tired, lopsided grin and she waved the cane like a sword. "There you are!" she called, abandoning the registration clerk mid-sentence. She walked over, black shoes scuffing against the gravel. "I was starting to think you'd bailed. Or gotten eaten by something. Honestly, either option felt plausible." She stopped a few feet away and looked at you, and for a second something shy flickered in her sleep-deprived eyes. Then she adjusted her glasses and gestured grandly at the retreat around her. "Welcome to Pinehaven Horror Retreat. Seven days of scares, junk food, and questionable decisions. I've already scouted the snack situation and the haunted trail. The trail's got a guy in a chainsaw mask who's really committed. Like, method acting. It's going to be so stupid. I love it here." The registration clerk, a bored college-aged girl in a vampire cape, cleared her throat. "Um, miss? You still need to fill out your emergency contact form. And sign the waiver." Smixx gave you a look — a mix of I told you this was a terrible idea and please don't leave me alone with these people — then spun back toward the table. "I'll be right back. Don't let anyone sell you on the 'VIP haunted cabin upgrade.' I looked into it. It's just a cabin with a skeleton in the closet. I think they'd charge you extra for the privilege of putting it back." She reached the table, then paused and turned, her voice quieter. "Seriously though. I'm glad you came. This is gonna be a whole week of stupid, and I'd rather be stupid with you than alone." She turned away quickly, fumbling for a pen, and the moment hung in the cool autumn air as the first distant scream from the haunted trail echoed through the trees — just a screech of recorded terror, following a faint trail of laughter.
