Our fantastic vice-captain reminded me that we need a halloween event.
What do we want this year? An event thread is a given, I'd like to think.
All ideas are welcome! <3
UPDATE: I wrote the intro post to our event thread. Opinions?

PQ and Retrostacja
It was a surprise that Aekea had lasted as long as it did.
They said that it would fall to the robot rebellion. That the creations originally created for war had regressed back into their murderous programming. It would have been a blessing. The town did not know that their gruesome fate would grow from within themselves. For the town that they had been so loyal to had betrayed them without time to escape.
Even now, it's hard to say when the first person got sick. But before anyone could realize the danger, dozens of people were coming into Aekea General Hospital every day. They came in nauseated with heavy fatigue and skull splitting headaches. As more people flocked to the hospital, the first to come in began to get high fevers and their hair began to fall out in clumps. When they began vomiting blood, the town was thrown into a panic. By the time they realized what it was, it was too late.
Nobody had paid attention to the old factory on the outskirts for years. They had forgotten what it was for. The radiation trickled from it's abandoned core and slipped into the town unnoticed. A ghost that could not be seen or heard.
The admins heard of the sickness, and the town was blockaded. Nobody came in, and nobody came out. People clung to their dying children and begged for their lives. Aekeans began to perish in the street. Those sworn to protect and defend could not even protect themselves as riots broke out. Nurses and doctors worked until they died still on their feet.
The Mechanical Children were not spared from the insanity. Their creators could not longer fix them. Those outside the walls thought them to be a danger; they had always thought them to be a danger. But now they had a good reason to get rid of them. It did not take them long to create a virus, altered from a program created by an pro-robot right Aekean. The irony was not lost on them as they set it loose onto the mechanical population. The virus destroyed many, and left those who survived without much sanity.
Majority of Aekeans were wiped out by the radiation, and many more were taken down by riots, disease and starvation. Citizens of flesh who somehow managed to stay alive began to mutate and become monsters that had only once been in stories told to their children alongside mugs of hot chocolate and fireplaces.
By some miracle (or curse), you have made your way into this lost and forbidden town.
