Session took place on the 3rd of November 2023.

Notes were taken by Julie.

## Recap - The Long Halloween

The renegades have been invited to a Halloween party taking place on Halloween night itself. Each of us has been invited as a +1.

The party is for the young heroes, as the adult heroes goes about taking care patrolling.

* Alyssa was invited to this party by Jericho (As a date)
* Donna was invited by her sister Lizzy
* Julie was invited by Rachel Roth
* Rhys was invited by Alfred (on behalf of Cassie)
* Vee was invited by M'gann

We had to take the boom tubes to get to the place (very secret) [Happy Harbour]

There are a bunch of young heroes present, all of whom are dressed up:

* Cassie (Batman)
* Starfire (Batman)
* Spoiler (Bear)
* Signal (Thor)
* Jericho (Ziggy Stardust)
* Static Shock (Black panther)
* Kid Flash (Vegeta)
* Black Ice (Wonder Woman)
* Red Robin (Goku)
* Trinity (Laura Croft)
* Omen (Vampire)
* Jaime (Ted Kord)
* Kara (Cow with alcohol udder)
* Nightwing (Zuko)
* Kon-el (The Witcher)
* Rachel (Wednesday)
* Cyborg (Robocop)
* Timothy Hunter (Harry Potter)
* Stich (Frankenstein’s bride)
* M’gann (Werewolf but no full moon)
* Muse (Cowgirl Barbie Doll)

The renegades are the last to arrive to the party.

* Alyssa is dressed as Kon-El
* Donna is dressed as Robin (Dick Grayson version)
* Julie is dressed as Red Robin
* Rhys is dressed as Batgirl (Barbara Gordon version)
* Vee is dressed as Kid Flash

Donna goes to the shorter Batman to spend the night with her. Rhys goes to talk with everybody about their costume, ends up talking to Timothy Hunter. Julie goes with Rachel to try out every single bit of candy and rank them on a tier list (S to F), ends up talking with Tim and has an awkward conversation (though Julie is oblivious to the awkwardness). Alyssa comes and runs interference.

Rhys laments that he didn’t go trick or treating. Donna questions Rhys about what that is. Jericho comes along to explain what’s going on, before being joined by Omen and Timothy, both of whom begin explaining the greater extent of Halloween and what goes down.

Julie partakes in beer pong with Muse as her teammate. Rhys and Donna realize that underage drinking usually happens at teenager parties and that it is ILLEGAL. Donne refrains from joining the fun, Rhys only not realizing that’s why people ask for ID at bars.

Donna tries to connect with Cass, trying to figure her out, despite her being very silent and brooding. Trying to pierce the mask, Donna asks: How do I get you to open up? Are you having a good time with your parents? Cass is open to talk, and she is indeed having a good time with her family. Donna and Cass then dance a bit on the dance floor.

Around 9 pm:

The Light’s Flicker all of the sudden, followed by the ground shaking and debris falling from the ceiling. A voice suddenly ricks out “Hocus pocus, costumes arise, transform them all before our eyes! By the moon's eerie light, as the clock strikes midnight, costumes become reality, forever in this duality!"

Everybody takes a powerful blow: Rhys & Alyssa stands tall, Donna gives ground, Julie takes advantage of her influence over Muse to figure out who is behind this thing. It’s Llarion the witch-boy. She realizes they are about to lose their powers and warns Muse (who gets scared).

Then the magic takes hold, and everyone turns into their costumes. Chaos ensues. Robocop tries to arrest the bear, and Super Alyssa intervenes. Julie takes Doll Muse with her and gathers Wednesday and Harry Potter and tells them who’s behind all of this and asks them what to do? They don’t know, as they can’t figure out the counter charm, but says that we need to find him. They go to take care of the now mundane people to make sure they’re not harmed.

The group gathers up (After constantly having to prevent Robin-Donna from running away). Julie tells the rest that they need to find Clarion the Witch-boy, Alyssa tells them it’s happening all over the world. Vee goes to ask Ricky what’s going on. Ricky is spending his time preventing the Oblivion from being affected by the magic. She learns it’s an active effect before she comes back. Rhys goes to find a batman to figure out what to do, who has deduced it’s Klarion the witch-boy. They need to find Doctor Fate, who can contact Klarion.

Julie goes to the Oblivion to hand off Muse (who turns back into herself) and Alyssa hands off Spoiler-Bear who turns back into herself as well. Julie tries to dress up as herself again, but when she leaves the Oblivion, she turns into Red Robin once more. There is a light on Vee’s forehead that’s shinning in the direction of Klarion the Witch-boy.

The team begins heading in the direction of the light. Julie suggests Vee run ahead to figure out exactly where we need to go (and how far away it is,) because frankly, it could be many, many miles away and we only have three hours. Jay Garrick (Old speedster) catches up with Vee and they exchange information they’ve gathered. Most of the world is in chaos, though mostly the united state. None of the adults knew it was Clarion. Eventually Vee ends up in Salem Massachusetts. At 10 pm.

The renegades (And extras) all get there in their own fashions (Speeding, Flying, Teleporting etc). Vee’s light is going in a circle and we figure out it’s a different dimension and need to open a portal. Kon-El of Rivia opens the portal, but it triggers undead to spawn all around us! Batman Cassie, Night-Zuko and Con-El of Rivia stays behind to deal the undead while we go inside.

Inside Rhys figures out we need to distract Clarion and find his cat. Vee, Rhys and Alyssa goes for the cat while Donna and Julie goes to distract Clarion. Alyssa hears the cat and Vee grabs it. The cat then turns into a monstrous being and a fight erupts. Vee and Rhys distract the monster cat, while Alyssa bonks its head on the head. Julie successfully distracts Klarion by calling his magic boring and uninspired and could’ve been done much better- He angrily states that he only needed to target New Jersey. Donna tries but doesn’t really succeed.

Once the cat has been bonked, Alyssa takes it to Clarion who demands she comes closer with it. She refuses and Klarion finally concedes and stops the magic. Everyone turns back, which knocks out Julie (maybe because she was dissing his magic?) and Vee has a speedy accident and gets splintered and goes into her gem once again to be reincarnated. But after this, they all appear back in Salem, back to their old selves. Alyssa picks up Gem Vee, Rhys picks up Julie and the group goes back to the Rene-cave in the Oblivion, giving the others a ride into the Oblivion for a proper debriefing.
